Enter the Dragon Day Tripping

During the night one dreams.  Your mind relaxes and things happen.  Some say it's to delete unused data, file new data that is necessary, and resort data we want to keep.  Pretty cool all that the brain collects during the day is up-cycled in ways one can only imagine.

It's also said for one to keep one minds sharp as they grow older is learn new skills.  Improve on old skills.  And use skills throughout the time your awake.

I'm expanding my mind.  A new cell phone.  Now you need to understand I came from a generation of humans that will have the hugest impact on the world 'Baby Boomers'.  And this ole boomer admits to not being savvy on many of the new Techie' gadgets that one finds in everyday life. 

My dream is to be so savvy on these items that I can keep up with my 15 year old nephews.  I also have a little guy who many of you know calls me Grandma Pat.  He is 4 and can work a iPhone faster than I can blink.

So I enter the world of Cell Phones that are smart, fast, slick, and costly.  A simple phone once owned is now going to the cell phone graveyard unless I decide to surprise my guy and keep it as our second line for his usage in case of an emergency should occur while out riding his bicycle.

Enter the dragon slayer.  Touch screen, unlimited data, messaging, web viewing, and APPS.  All new mind building skills.

Watch out Jerry Ray ~ Grandma Pat is going to have you blinking!

I'll be day tripping as the new & improved Dragon Slayer all over the world on this new smart phone.  Thank you AT&T for your 1cent deals.  Thanks to all the engineers for developing all these fun gadgets that drive us crazy and making us desire them!

Wednesday Count Down

Count down is 3 posts a week.  Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  With a blog one must be loyal to posting.  Then one must find and develop a loyal group of folks who will follow your rantings.  

Yes there are days my nimble lips have much to say.  Then there are days when nothing comes to mind for writing about or for entertainment for viewers; which this is one of those days...mind is sorta blank.

In college - Many many moons ago - the assignments each week in a English Creative Writing course was: 

take 10 minutes each day and just write/type away.  Supposedly creativity will come.  I spent more time correcting spelling errors than writing the first several attempts at this 10 minute slice of brain farts. The assignments did become successful. Thus unlocking hidden talents.

Poetry and short stories are some of the talents that where enhanced.  Also learned that it is not so scary just to let the mind go free and enjoy.

But the most important thing I learned was Spelling Errors are minor imperfections in ones life skills.  

There is a reason our computers have SpellCheck...simply for folks whose spelling at times suck or have poor typing skills. Thus giving our readers words & understanding of what the heck we are typing.

Who Framed Me?

A finished piece of art can be framed or not;  it is a personal choice. Some look more attractive framed; some art just needs their own space such as a work of art on a gallery canvas.

Framing your works of art doesn’t need to be expensive.  I love it when the local shops have frame sales; the clearance section for frames can be your best friend. Use those coupons from flyers, newspapers, and that Michaels and JoAnn offer.  Look for used frames at garage sales, yard sales, moving sales, and even at Craigslist.  I also have made my own frames. Old wood is fun to slice and dice up for many projects big or small.

A simple display of your artwork sometimes is just what a wall needs. Sometimes a wall needs a full blown  attack of killer artwork - meaning lots and lots of art of different sizes and shapes and colors.

You don't have to display your artwork on just on walls;  placed a wonderful painting sitting on the floor against a piece of furniture.  Try using same size canvas's  that are back to back and hang from ceiling making a room divider.  Have a coffee table or end table ~  Make your own 'Designer Collection Book' with your favorite Artists photos' for any visitor to look through when the book is sitting on your coffee table.

Have fun with your art purchases and let the art shine!
