Brainstorm / Brainwash
Wednesday I assisted to a conference on recognition. A two hours non-stop speach. It was givin by Serge Marquis. He was very good. He express himself and expose his subject in a very entertainement kind of way. I have to say it was boring, I hate this kind of thing but the guy brings up a couple of good ideas to think about. I thought I might write about it, At least I will not have suffered for nothing and it will give meaning to that guy job.
He made me realize what we all already know, as often in this kind of meeting. His subject was clear and we learned nothing new. A lot of the new mental disease we might suffer one day is because of our life rhythm, pressure and stress. If you can train yourself to: relax in every little situation, pause yourself, ask yourself if the problem you are experiencing right now is a real one and adopt a more human oriented approach, you might live older and healthier. One easy way to help that is by seeing what people do for you and how much they are valuable to you in their day to day care. In this line of idea:
Thank you to all my readers! Don't forget to live in the present!
I admit it I am completely brainwashed. It will last a couple of days and after that will see. I am still sorry t about the fact that somewhere there is a guy that makes money with problems that, us as a society, should not even speak about.
Spread the word. Help your neighbor.

OK people, trivia question: How much does a motivational speaker charges for a 1 hour conference? If you don't already know, this is gonna blow your mind. I heard this one in Montreal is 4000$ for an hour speech. 4k! You believe that?
So I got this speech ready here, it's called "Why everybody fucking rulez", I will come up to your place and motivate the hell out of you. Plus I'll bring pizza. All this for the low-low price of 2000$!!!! That's half of the Montreal guy, AND you get free pizza! You can't beat that.
So just call me, send me an e-mail, or whatever. By the way, my offer for sending me free stuff still stands, so if you have free stuff to send me, just ring me up.
I can't sleep anymore. I've been up since noon yesterday, it is now 9:30 am. I've turned in the bed for an hour or so, and got back up to read about PHP and MySQL. And to blog apparently.
Insomnia is hard sometimes, especially when you have a job or go to school. For me it started in primary school, at least that's when I realized I had a problem. I went to bed because my parents forced me to, and then I'd twist and turn for hours. Like 2, 3, even 4 hours sometimes. It was hell, I wanted to sleep so bad, not because I was tired, but because it was night and I was expected to wake up in the morning. Also because I was so bored in my bed. I remember that time when I actually hit my head against the wall to try and knock myself out, I was a desperate kid.
High school was more difficult. I actually had to work at school, and staying awake was hard. Parents had given up on forcing me to bed, so I was up on my computer, connecting to BBS and coding. Same for my professional jobs, hell. Had to wak up at 7:xx to physically go somewhere to work. What's up with that?
And a good day I lost my job, and I was finally free. Free to make my own schedule, as scary as that might be for my friends and family. We are now 3 years later, and I love what I do. I love my total absence of schedule. I love sleeping whenever I'm tired, usually.
Some think that normal people sleep at night.
I think that normal people are boring.
Ok, funny that you talk about insomnia when the title of my last post was "Monster in a closet". What are you affaid of, when your mind is racing, thinking?
My mind scares me...
