I enjoy reading other people’s blogs when I get the chance. My sister sent me an email the other day suggesting that I read a blog that she discovered. She told me that it is a new blog called Mason Vaughn that is being written by a guy had been convicted of murder, done his time, and was recently released from prison. He is writing about his experiences in prison. There are not very many posts on it yet, but I have read the blog and am finding it interesting. I wouldn’t be surprised if word gets out eventually and it becomes a very popular blog!  It will be interesting to see how this blog develops.

This morning I was checking my emails (as usual) and spending a few minutes waking up, drinking my morning tea, browsing around the Internet, looking at the news.  I stumbled upon an MSNBC.com website that had links to weird news.  I am always interested in reading strange news, so I spent about a half hour this morning checking out the different weird news stories.  I have to say that was a good way to spend a few minutes, reading about out-of-the-ordinary occurrences, like the guy who was trying to break open an ATM and ended up getting hurt and needed to go to the hospital, and about the guy who escaped from jail, only to return that same night to ask to be let back in, and about the priest who was arrested for jogging in the nude, and the student who broke into a panda bear’s cage to get a hug and ended up being mauled.  I think I’ll be checking out that site again – very interesting reading, and a good way to take a break from all of the “usual” news stuff like politics and the stock market and the economy and the war.

This little gem has been sitting my bookmarks for some time now. I have just got to get a setup like this retro restaurant diner furniture. Maybe I will set up the garage with it, or perhaps find someone to invest in some commercial real estate and get that whole cafe idea going.

The classic diner just gives me a feel of retro, back in the day when things were good. There were few worries, gas was less than a dollar a gallon, and enjoying a cheeseburger and milkshake was just something you did, without worries about calories, mad cow disease or lactose intolerance.

So here is a little gem from my bookmarks, what’s in our bookmarks that you hope to add to your life one day?

This is in my bookmarks, because the words and ideas that are saved here in the transcripts at CNN or incredible. The power of these thoughts from Deepak Chopra should be shared with the world and generations to come.

an excerpt:

CHOPRA: Well, you know, in Eastern traditions, which are now people are becoming familiar with them, the body is seen as a field of energy and information. And it also metabolizes the experience of time.

So let’s say your internal clock is fast. You know, you say, I’m running out of time all the time. And that’s what you say to yourself all the time. So you’re looking at the same watch that everybody’s seeing, but it’s moving much faster.

Well, you’ll have faster heart rate, higher number of jittery platelets with adrenaline and high blood pressure. And if a person like that constantly says I’m running out of time, then one day they’re going to have a cardiovascular accident. And they will run out of time.

GUPTA: They’ll have a heart attack.

CHOPRA: Yes, a heart attack. And they’ll run out of time.

On the other hand, if you say I have all the time in the world, and then when you are intoxicated with love, then time stops for you, that actually influences your biological clock. So you have to reinterpret your life experiences. How do I relate to the experience of time? How do I relate to this body? Do I see it as a field of energy? Can I activate that energy field through yogic practices, reading, (INAUDIBLE)? There are many mind-body techniques.
