Feel like Harry Potter

Riding the Austin metro rail today. I never imagined what an incredible feeling it is to just sit back and look at the wonderful views. Hills, trees, creeks, life, these things passing by in these giant windows. There is a young man entertaining the crowd with job hunting anecdotes. Ppl reading their novels next to me.
The best analogy to tell you how I feel, is by reading JK Rowling's Harry Potter. The descriptions the words all seem to come to life here on this train today.
I feel that it also brings me back to that summer when I was 6 and my great grandma, my great grandma took me to Valparaiso and we sat together telling stories about beach times during their era. Bringing back memories is just awesome.
We live in an over-interactive world, and just sitting back and letting the world pass as you look, is just wonderful.

Productive Day

Enjoying a productive day studying business communications and Human Relationship Management. Sat at Scooter's Coffee and really enjoyed the atmospehere, although the lack of the famous Totty coffee. Had a wonderful family lunch with my kids and wife eating Tropical Smoothy Cafe food. Decided to be a good son and water my mother's garden. As I turned on the hose I worried a little about the water consumption regulations, but I was quicly at ease at looking at how long there poor plants had gone without water, and watered away. The ADD'ness of the NET is wearing off more now and learning to read at least 3 pages without checking gmail and facebook!! Reading books is such a cool concept, I am sad that the Internet multitasking overloadingness is slowly training people to consume at max speed and not enjoy content. Less can me much more gratifiying than more.....
