Five Reasons Why I Talk To Myself
Oh boy. Here we go, y’all! Now, I know I am far from being the only one to talk to oneself. For me, talking to myself helps me in a few ways. And so, I’m going to share some ways that I benefit from talking to myself. We’re not all crazy.
1. Helps my thought process
This happens when there’s more thoughts in my mind than I can handle. At this point, I talk my way through each one at a time. For recent instance, the Christmas cantata. In this situation, as lighting director, there’s a lot to look at and various ways to go about lighting a particular scene. Sometimes, I end up with multiple solutions for just one scene, all at the same time. At that point, I need to break each one down.
One could say write, but that actually hurts me a bit. I don’t know what it is, but, writing is still mind games to me in a sense that all of the thoughts still pour. Meanwhile, when I talk to myself, once I decide on one thought, somehow, the process of talking filters my thoughts to just that initial thought.
New DALANEL Feature: Daily Good News
When I first started DALANEL in August of 2012, it was an incident that drove me to bring about this positive spin on the world as we know it. I had read an article, I forget what it was about, but it was bad. And that day, I just became sick of the news.
So, I wanted to do something about it.
And so, it started easy with stuff like Weekly Funnies and Good Friday posts. Then, it expanded to Daily Good Stuff, which sorta combined Weekly Funnies and Good Friday material. This became the leading feature for the blog.
And while it’s been a hit for you, in terms of views, I have decided that, it’s not enough. It doesn’t quite answer my initial problem back last year. The main point of DALANEL is to…I don’t want to say fight, but, to go up against the likes of ABC, CNN, NBC, and all of their “friends”. They bring more “negative” news than we really need.
Daily Good Stuff 221
It’s Friday and today is going to be a good day. Thursday marked the fourth day in a row that DALANEL set a viewing record. I said I would wait for a week before I take this as the new normal. Thanks for the views and I hope you truly enjoy the experience.
To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. Proverbs 21:3
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. Kahlil Gibran
Youch!
Ranking My Favorite Movie Trilogies
Time for the big screen! Today, I will be ranking movie trilogies that I have seen. There are quite a few trilogies out there. Great things come in 3’s. My nipples will tell you that.
There are going to be a lot of known to be great ones that I have not seen. Still, the ones I have seen are good so you’ll like this list. My list comes to 11 and I’m doing a top ten. Ouch. There are some movies I have seen; but not the entire trilogy. Examples are Iron Man and The Hangover. Both 3rd films are yet to be seen. I gotta check them out. There shouldn’t be any spoilers.
10. Rugrats
Why yes, this was a movie trilogy. The hit TV show made a few films. One of them was actually a joint effort with another “meh” Nick show, which also has a trilogy. In any event, the babies were up to their same shenanigans as in the TV series; just on a bigger stage.
9. Lion King
Have you heard of this one? We’ve heard of the first one, for sure. The second one was interesting. The third movie was a clever twist. It was called Lion King 1 1/2. And they weren’t kidding. It was the story of Loin King, only from Timon and Pumbaa’s point of view. It was a sort of prequel and remake. I enjoyed it and it’s one of the first and probably only movies that I’ve seen that happen.
8. Men In Black
The first two movies were ok for me. However, after a long absence, here comes the third one. The third movie was the best, in my opinion. It’s a time travel story. And, that’s all I’m gonna say as I promised no spoilers. Here is one spoil about my list: This isn’t the only time traveling we’ll deal with.
Dante’s Opinion: Why do guys just look at a girl and nod with their buddy?
Sometimes, looking for questions is a pain if only because some people’s writing skills are…just terrible. I try to stay away from them because I want stuff you can understand. I always quote what they say so I never make adjustments especially sense I could end up changing the direction of the question. Just keep that in mind.
Anyway, this first question is pretty neat. Mira asks:
I noticed that these two guys i didnt know were looking and nodding at me but i didnt know what was happening so i kind of looked away
