Honesty and Integrity.

These two traits are very good and yet important attributes for you and everyone else to have, with these attributes you can get very far in life. Remember the old saying, “You get back, what you give out in life”? Well that’s a very true, and relevant to this blog. Your peers and friends don’t want you to be a dishonest person because they wouldn’t be able to trust you with various things, like keeping a secret, or alternatively thinking that you’re lying to them. You’re peers also would think you’re a total walking contradiction if you lied and were dishonest about everything. Hey, lets get back to why living life honestly and with integrity can improve your life, put yourself on the right road, and make everyone around you happy and glad to see you.

Here take this article I found on google as an example if you’re having trouble with being honest.

I love the latter part of the article. I too have to forgive myself for being wrong sometimes, iam not always right nor do I try to ignore the problem. You should remember what your problem is and work on it. Think before you do anything. I’d probably just saying something to myself, like “Just be yourself!” if I’m about to do something dumb, like being dishonest.

Anger Managment.

Do you ever feel angry? I get angry, or upset, which I prefer to call it since it seems less loathsome! It can really make your head spin in an unfortunate figurative way.
Theres different types of anger, there’s just justifiable anger and thoughtless anger, I wouldn’t recommend either because it would be embarrassing and regretful to protrude toward everyone. They wouldn’t look at you the same way they did, plus you’d be wasting time.

Here maybe we can make a list of ways to manage anger would help if you’re having problems controlling it. I’ll just think of a few things to say off the top of my head.

1. Keep your cool. Even if you’re feeling like you can’t hold it just think about something less irrate, like something that makes you happy?!? Thats what I think about.
2. Try to avoid a conflict which would make you angry.
3. Think about things slowly, not fast. You probably get angry easier if you think really fast about things, without second though.
4. be thoughful about everything, everything can’t always go your way.
5. Be nice to others instead of angry. Learn that we’re all human, we make mistakes, we can’t be anger forever over that.

Collage of the last few weeks.

Holidays and New Years Eve.

My holidays were grand,  not even a snow storm could have ruined it.These are some pictures I took with my new canon elph camera. Its digital and it’s a transition from film, so I don’t think I’ am capable of it’s true potential yet, well that’s what Marcus told me.

Bill, Christa, Joe,  and I went to see
The Flaming Lips,  not to be confused with the medical disease, but an alternative rock band from Oklahoma City, who formed in 1983. They’ve been playing their annual New Years Eve Freakout concert for about three years now, since 2007. I ‘am a huge flaming lips fan, so it was joyous occasion to see them play.






The Opening band was Norman’s own StarDeath&WhiteDwarfs, they sound like Coldplay meets King Crimson. They were really good, I’ve seen them alot live. They played at the 2nd annual Norman Music Festivial and 2009′s Ghouls Gone Wild afterparty over in Bricktown back in October.
The Flaming lips were good,  the setlist was a disappointment, though I’ll talk about that in abit. They replaced their UFO with a Giant Disco Ball, which was different. Actually Wayne Coyne, one of the members of the band built the UFO in his backyard in 2004/2005 with supplies from Home Depot. It was a homage to George Clinton/Paraliment/Funkadelic, George Clinton would have been pround!

The Setlist wasn’t that great besided the new songs off Embryonic and the track “In The Morning of The Magicians” off the Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots LP. But I do love Race for the Prize, a great song to start off with.

Setlist:

Intro
Race For The Prize
Silver Trembling Hands
The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song
Vein Of Stars -> The Firebird Suite
In The Morning Of The Magicians
Convinced Of The Hex
See The Leaves
Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Pt. 1 (slow)
Pompeii Am Gotterdammerung
Taps -> The W.A.N.D.
She Don’t Use Jelly
Do You Realize?? (slow)
The Process

They also had balloons in the crowd throughout the whole show, and even more during the Process.

One thing about the concert which made it such a spectacular event was the midnight preformence of Pink Floyd’s Darkside Of The Moon.  One track I didnt really like was Money,  it came off sounding like Black Moth Super Rainbow since I heard it before the concert I had already made up my mind on how I felt about it.

Here’s afew pictures from the show.
The guy on left looks like a bigger version of Wayne from The Christmas on Mars film.
