Rambing On

The counter on this particular blog notes that this is post number 200.  I don't really talk about anything too deep on this blog.  It's just a forum for me to vent about random observations, personal rants, and anything else that I found to be interesting.  Ten years ago, I was attempting to do at least one or two posts per month, but things did get busy throughout the years.

I started blogging before it was mainstream, and continued after it no longer was trendy.  I still contribute to six or seven blogs on a semi-regular basis, and really haven't seen too much of an improvement in my writing skills.  Wit and wisdom aside, I think it's an accomplishment to keep things going for over ten years on this.  Here's to the next 200 posts!

Perception Is Reality

I was watching the movie Sneakers last night.  Despite the fact that the movie is a little over 20 years old, it serves as a reminder to me that our view of the world is based upon the perception of reality rather than actual reality.  It sounds really deep, but it is actually a rather simple concept.  While perception may not necessarily be accurate, it sometimes becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Perception can be a tricky thing.  Things are not always what they appear to be on the surface.  It is sometimes difficult to take reality at face value.  We tend to interpret what we see against our own values and experiences.  It takes some practice to see things with a different perspective.  In most cases, it's worth the practice.

See ya.
