This is you...

May Dad had this thing he liked to say to my sister. It goes like this:

This is the Universe (Gestures a big circle).
This is the Center of the Universe (Points to the center of the big circle).
This is you (points somewhere off in the distance).
You are not the the center of the universe.

Rude? A little. But in the end it points out an important lesson that I needed to learn more than she. No one am not privy to every little change in the way things are be it at work, with friends, at church, or anywhere. Nor is anyone to be offended when they're locked out. Once one starts to think like they should know everything that's going on, it turns into a slippery slope to all sorts of nasty. Believe me, I've been in that nasty for a few months now. It isn't worth it. I don't want to be there again. Information is good infornography is not.

What is infornography? That's what happens when you let information rule your life. It isn't like gossip where it's spread. This stuff you keep to yourself to be used later, or to try to get ahead of the curve. That first little tid bit feels pretty good till it leads to another then another, than another. Then the info isn't enough. Then you start to make supposedly "informed" assumptions. Then those assumptions become mindsets that are next to impossible to get out of. They often lead to extremes of emotional highs or lows. I think it's an addiction. Or maybe I'm just crazy.

Meaningless Fluff.

So yeah, it's another second half the day and I'm finding little to do. We did another Video Shoot today with outstanding results with mixed lighting. Thrill oh thrill. to see these clips turn out okay. Ah, it just feels good.
As for the title, I'm not happy with the content of this blog... not only have I not published anything recently. What has been published has be pretentous fluff. I'm not really that intelligent, I just think I'm good at guessing...Think about it.
I need a map.
