It’s dancing in my
head. It’s been dancing for a
while. A vision. I think it’s an easy one. I know in my mind it’s not really that hard
to imagine, but it may just be hard to explain to you all. Usually, I can get through this by someone
asking me questions to get through expressing what I really mean. And that is the true purpose of what I have
in mind in writing this.
It’s too bad that life can’t
stop for a while when you are doing what you want to do. I wish it could stop when I’m not at work. It would be great if it would stop when I’m
doing what I’m doing: with me in front of my laptop, typing away, with the
television on, with a picture in a picture watching the latest update of
news. I’m watching it on the television
and I have the option of surfing the `Net to find my own news and storylines. I would have greater satisfaction if I were
traveling and posting my observations, thoughts and feelings where I am.
This is definitely the best of worlds right now for the better. During the last few days, the people around me have commented about how spectacular the Opening Ceremonies were of the China 2008 Summer Olympics. I am now able to watch highlights of the ceremonies on the Web at my convenience.
It’s a changing world where
so many technological choices are offered. We can watch our favorite shows when we want to do so. Last year it was the infamous DVR on the
local cable system. This year it’s
watching the 2008 Opening Ceremony of the China Summer Olympics when I want to
do so.
I posted a blog to let
others see me for who I am. It’s what I
wanted from the years when I sent out written newsletters in my friends and
family’s mailbox. I’ve envisioned a time
where I could have a community where all my friends and family could share
what’s going on in their lives. There
will be a discussion board of what’s been going on in their lives. You know to have a real dialogue on what’s our
thoughts and feelings are. I would like
my friends and family to post a picture and tell a story behind the picture,
because a picture is worth a thousand words. I can just look at any one of my pictures and know, thinking back (much
better than without a picture) on what happened when that picture was taken.
Growing up in Hawaii, I
realized the importance of accepting different cultures. Living where I do now, it’s surprising how
racism still is a prevalent issue here. I was really ignorant about that when I was living on the Islands. I remember vividly watching the O.J. Simpson
trial and hearing about that and then puzzled how race could even be brought
up. There were many ethic groups on the
main island of Hawaii getting along relatively well.
I discussed recently with my
wife about writing a novel together. I
think that it’ll be a good idea. If
anyone has any suggestions, please write your comments in the comment section
of this post. Any input will be greatly
appreciated. It’s bolder than writing on
the blog. But I have no doubt that my
Sunshine will be up-to-task on this mission. I know that I’ll have to prompt her constantly to keep an eye on the end
results. As many of you know from my
days cruising the islands, it’s been my “thing.” I hope to capture the process with you on
this blog. I hope that you’ll share with
me your quick thoughts and reactions when you read what we write. It has always been my desire to know what’s
going on with you all. I desire this
because it gives me a sharper edge to know more about people, the most
challenging opportunity to relate to people.
That is what I would like to
start: a different dance … toward something. What is it? Come back once in a while and find out what the dance will
be.
