what is there to say. i just got home from the backcountry adventure party and i am speechless. what a groups of freaks and weirdos, but i guess that is why i like working there and why i fit in so well. so our once a year company party was held at the Depot in salt lake city. most of the club was devoted to us. we had dinner and then parted the night a way. most of the reason most people go is just to get the stuff. and yes every one that comes to this party gets a gift to go home with. the employees get all kinds of fun stuff.
today i got a bag, a set of head phones, and a jacket. don't like the jacket so much but hay it was free and i bet some one at work will be willing to trade for it. (i kinda really don't like it but that is my luck and my life)
the other stuff every one got it was kinda cool. they passed out awards all over the place and we all had fun. the main reason this was done now is that in a month every one will be scrambling. trying to get every thing done. the next 3 months is backcountry's bizzest time of year. so here gos to the fun part and the next 3 weeks is a scramble for me then i am free of most of it. code freeze ain't it grand.

me and my shadow
today is a sad day. i just found out that i have lost my shadow. she was was my dog and she put to sleep some time in the last two weeks. between the last 2 rain storms we have had. my dad decided it would be best to take her to the vet and get her put to sleep. i really don't blame him. she was 16 years old very old for her size of dog. she was a medium small dog. and there really so many memories from that dog.
she was getting so old she, in the last rain storm she sat on the porch in the cold rain. my dad tried to get her to go into her dog house but she would not go. she refused and just went back up to her spot on the porch in the rain. so sad. i miss her but i know it was best for her.
the last time i saw her she was getting better she had all these big bumps and soars but she seemed to be getting better. i remember getting her she was just a puppy and my best friend at the time, dog had puppy's. she was just a mutt but she was mine. at the time we did not have a fence around the yard yet so we were afraid she would run away. so i traded her in the back stairwell with some chicken wire, some boards, and rocks to hold it down.
i made sure that she had food watter and a place to sleep down there for the night, and i guess she got board. she ran off that night. i don't remember how log it was tell she was found but she was wondering around the neighbor's empty lot when the neighbor found her. i don't know what happened to her in that time but not long after she was found we had the fence up. and i don't think she tried too hard to get out. i know it was escape proofed because of our other dog Fred, he always had to find a way out.
a few years after we found out she would not go out of the fence. i think we had scared/trained her to not go out of the fence (more the first than the second). but she was a good dog. she was happy and had a good life i think. (well she did live to 16 that is unusual for a dog) when they get that old they start to get senile.
in the end she had become my dad's dog. some one for him to visit when he was outside. some one that loved attention and would search for it any time she could. now thinking back i hope she had a good life, and that she still loves us even after all that we have done to her.
i really loved my shadow.

Random brain ideas
here is a random idea.
what if the brain is like a dual core processor, two streams of information that go through the same unit whit 2 different purposes. except unlike the processor the mind and devote different amounts of processing power to each, ie. brain waves. the idea is that the 2 parts of the mind the subconscious and conscious mind process different kinds of things. it is known that the subconscious mind interprets body signals, and much non verbal communications.
so inside our mind we have 2 sets of brain waves (who knows if that is true but that is the idea). one being the conscious mind and the other being the subconscious mind. now in each one of us the balance between the subconscious and conscious mind tend to be equal. but in some the conscious mind has more processing power than the subconscious. this would cause people like geeks and nerds. people that are good at thinking things but not so good at interacting whit people.
if that is true then the reverse is probably true. some one that is great at interacting whit people (to the point they can begin to predict how the people will react before they do), but when it comes to thinking it becomes much harder for them to do. so there are the normal cases then you can get into the extreme cases like autism in which they have amazing thinking power but they are unable to interact with people but on the most basic level.
now if you take that into account would it be possible to nudge the brain waives in someones mind to more favor the subconscious or the conscious mind. changing there abilities in that area. able to think clearer or be able to interact with people more easily. now the problem here is if you begin to start nudging the brain waves you could change some one to be more out going but that would take away the conscious thinking power.
now i am not say it is not possible for some one that favors the thinking mind to interact, but it becomes more more difficult to do so. because something that the subconscious mind does by instinct that person begins to have to think their way through it, because the subconscious mind no longer has the processing power to do.
OK that is enough of my rambling
