Conspiracy theories

I feel a bit ambiguous about conspiracy theories.  When proven to be true, it is amazing.  Amazing that some people tried to hide it and that other were able to prove it.  On the other hand, there are some conspiracy theories makes me wonder if they aren't just fancies of the mind, to play and to test people, to see if they would gobble anything throwed in the air.

I must also say that conspiracy theories can be a creative act.  It demand a lot of imagination to examine a case and come on with a theory, proven or not.  So, the people who come with those conspiracy probably have a blast in creating those conspiracy.  Coming with some propositions pointing at dark secrets is fine in itself.  I dislike when it become a dogma.

Would be nice to be able to distinguish between legitimate conspiracy theories and those less credible.  Meanwhile, I enjoy the imagination of those theories leaving the possibility of reality for later.  There are an area of mysteries about those conspiracy.  We may never know if they are real or not.  Maybe some people need to hold on to them for whatever reasons.  Do I believe in them?  I am ill equiped to say yes or no.  They are and I don't feel the right to judge them.

Scotty, the miracle worker in Star Trek

I think I overcrowd my days.  I don't know if I overestimates, especially on the week ends.  This past week ends, I wanted to do some mod melt (https://www.plaidonline.com/learn-about-the-new-mod-podge-mod-melts-mod-molds/194/video.htm), soap, some cleaning chores and some minors things.  Didn't happened entirely.  I didn't had time for the soap.

So, one of the minor things I wanted to do is going to the post office for a parcel.  As I waited in line, I saw an add about some Star Trek stamps.  Scotty was there.  It made me thinking.  I need to better evaluate the time it takes me to do some projects.  It is where Scotty comes in.  He may be only a fictional character in a fictional science fiction tv show but he had something interesting.  His repairs were done at the most critical moment, where the crew needed it the most.  I think it was in his episode in Star Trek: The Next Generation where he told Geordie his secret: Scotty always multiple by 2 the time needed to do repairs.  So, as the rest of his crewmates were tipping toward despair and need, he was there to save the day at the right time.

I am tempted to go by this principle.  Could be useful if there is delay.  My problem: I need to know how long it will takes me to do what I want to do.  So many variable.  For example, for doing soap, it depend on how many soap bases I have.  I know the longuest is to melt them and there is not really a set time to do that.  I must admit that it is a bit easier for the mod melt.  For four package, I can say that it's takes an good part of the afternoon.  It is the second time that I makes them with four packages and it took a while to do it.

I guess that it end up doing it for the best and start early...

It seems so easy and getting ispired

I admire people who know their stuff and know how to explain it.  It seems to go with the flow.  In addition, those people can inspire other people in various ways.  Today, I got my ah-ha moment while listening to this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNuG7J_tm7w
It is an outlout for the week using a divinatory tool : Le Lenormand.  What I found interesting in this video is one topic that intesrest me: creativity.  It is how I would resume what is said in this reading.  It is about ideas, creativity and letting it out in various ways.  I found this inspiring.

I am in a creative period in my life and this video got me excited.  It makes me feel I am in the right way even if it is not addressed to me specifically.  Also, I am not quite ready to let all my brainstorming out yet but it stimulate me more on my path.

I don't know how some people are able to makes it look so easy.  A lot of practice?  Some inner gift?  Being minded and at ease to speak about a topic?  Well, I think I will probably have to look deeper into that!

projects' obsession

I must admit something: I am obsessed by some projects.  It also appy to some new technique that I learn. I have periods where I have those obsessions.  I think about it, doing it, doing some research.  It is in my system for a while.  It can vary but I have it for a period of time before it fade away.  At this point, it get out of my life, as if I had my fill.  I usually have a time where it becomre like anything else, on a more normal and healthy level.  I may stop that for a while before it come back in my life but less intense than in the beginning.

I don't know why I have those intense feeling on some projects.  It can also be ideas for writing.  It can be helpful in develop some ideas.  I had noticed that when I am strongly feeling about an idea, the story develop a little bit faster, by leap and leap steps.  Well, it is usually some scenes and they grow on their own, in an organic way.  It seems to be more harmonious than usual.

My main problem, especially for stories, it form quickly in my mind.  I have to take note of it.  After that, I am not quick enough to write more in detail as ideas form in my mind.  My mind is quicker than my body.  It is frustrating.  I don't know how I could be quicker.  A voice recorder could be the solution.  The part of putting it on paper stay the same.

Would be nice for my mind to hit me like a brick for a solution...

There should day in the week for (insert leasure or craft)

I think there should be a day, each week dedicated totally for leasure or crafting.    On that day, activities could be offered or there should have free time to do a or a few crafts.  I would have a blast in those kind of day.  There is some good aspect for that kind of activities.  Having a day wholy dedicated for that would be even better.

I would pack that kind of day with many activities: first, thing in the morning, a massage.  Could be an hot stone massage.  I don't know if I will grow tired of it but I definitively want another one badly after the first one I had a few weeks ago.  After that, some soap making.  It would be a group activity.  In the afternoo, I would do some jewelry making and maybe a bit of embroidery.  Again, it could be a group activity.  In the evening, I would do some writing and some revision.  This would be an alone activity.  The day would end in a short meditation.

This kind of day would be a perfect day.  I don't know if I will be able to attain this kind of day.  Of course, I could change an activity or two, to adapt to my needs and the projects that I have or wish to do.  I also could learn something new craftwise too by taking a class.  Of course, having access to crafting classes would be an extra interesting bonus.  Well, don't know if I will attain that one day but it is something I would like to try, to see if could work as I envision it.

Cloud gathering

I am in a period where I have much of my mind into the cloud.  Maybe too much.  I forget to have a foot into reality.  It is hard to stay a foot in both realm.  I haven't be able to attain that yet.  But when I hit the cloud gathering and brain storming period, I try to get the most of it.  Usually, it is pretty productive.  I usually end up with some ideas and projects to do.

Right now, I would like to get influenced by forest.  Forest had always play an important part in my fiction.  I would like to do a fiction story entirely in a forest.  So, I am working on that.

Nature cover up

An update on the ugliest trees I ever saw.  Here are the two culprits:

The house is irrelevant.  The two trees are the real sign of the ugly in this photo.  The trunks are the most horrific trunk I ever saw.  No swelte elegance in them.  They have many bumpy clumps that disfigure them.  I really don't want to have them where I live.

Now, I have a updated photo with them.  Leaves cover the clumpy part:

I took the two photos from two different angles.  I wanted to show that the trunks are pretty much hidden under the leaves.    The leaves hides much of the trunks, making them barely visible.  It mask the ugliness.from visible sight.  It is amazing how nature have it's own ugliness and a way to camouflage it.
