<"where did you leave me"

Here is some creative writing that we have been encouraged to post........This first one written not so long ago towards the end of last semester, and the over a year ago. "my belt"

I have many books of this kind filled with jibberish, scribble, short stories and drawings........ just letting words flow through pen and on to what ever is laying around. I find blogging a little out of reach at the moment, not nearly as convienient as a small pad....but, it does create an opportunity or forum to exhibit what I would normally keep under lock and key..........I guess as this is almost a faceless forum in some recpects I am not worried about anyone reading these selected pieces.

I like stuff that makes me laugh
I am pretty sure this is one of those urban myths, but it is pretty funny none the less!!

Russian Space Pen

Writes at zero gravity
Works upside down
Writes on almost any surface
Works in extreme temperatures

When NASA first started sending astronauts into space, they realised that the ballpoint pen would not work at zero gravity. A million dollar investment and two years of tests resulted in a pen that could write in space, upside down, on almost any surface and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 degrees. When confronted with the same problem, the Russians used a pencil!

How and why do we allow information to enter our mind, do we have some form of filter that dictates what is taken in? Of the information that we consume, what is it that triggers the filter which notices the sincerity of the infromation and its relevance to us?
Can we be conscious of this, and could we manipulate it?
We know what we like and dis like, or do we just say we do?

who decides who is crazy, who decides what information is necessary for us to know, do we inadvertently decide this? who decides "what" is what?.......................I don't know! Do you?
try and understand how and why we process any form of information we are confronted with, whether it be music, speech, characters, images, odours, weather, thoughts, forms..........

What pleases and elates us............?
