So much fun.

I can't wait till Thanksgiving when I get to relax for a day! I was surfing the web and on the backcountry.com blog there was a cousin link to this:



That is some crazy stuff! I have a new respect after going to a few skate parks and seeing what people do. This wheelchair performer is just awesome!

last night I was able to get a ride up with Andrew up to Park City for a little short trackie ice time. It was run number two for the new blades on the short track. At first, it wasn't happening. As the evening went by, I quit thinking about the length, bend and rock and continued to pick up where I left off: left leg glide around the corners. By the end of the night I wasn't skating on new blades. I was skating on my blades. Not only was there a blade break through, but Derek Parra was up coaching a guy how to speedskate for some TV show on the Travel Channel. It was interesting skating around dodging a camera crew.

The next few days are going to be CRAZY!!! Starting with today, I am going to go home after work (where I am at the moment) and chill. Need to finish cleaning and completing the total reorganizational project in my cool room. Oh, and work on those 2 albums that still need posted. Tomorrow I will be volunteering at the long track world cup that's in town. It's a morning till evening process. Saturday, I will do the same and then put in some time at my other job. Sunday, is the last day of the world cup where I again will be. Then Monday is back to work again... Next Saturday I have a race, which means I need to put in a good/smart training week. I ain't going to be taking pictures at the world cup because I want to experience it in a different light. Besides I have so many pictures anyways. I'll get some next time.

To sum up that last paragraph, sometimes it helps to write it down.

I found this cool thing on Yano's Blog:
Which way is she going?



If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.







LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking


I'm a right brain.
