Fun Theory: The way I’m going to run my life.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=2lXh2n0aPywMy friend Alex the Mind Reader, reminded me of something I had forgotten about.
Last year sometime I read about some experiments where a group of people tried to see if making onerous tasks fun could change behavior. For example, they painted some stairs beside an escalator to appear like piano keys. They might have even added some sound to the stairs too– what do you imagine the results were?
Here’s the site... be sure to check out the Speed Camera Lottery.
Psychic Home Party Report!
I only started offering Psychic Home Party packages a short time ago, but if things continue as they have been going I think they’re going to be very popular.
I want to thank Maria, Barbara, Kerri, Sarah and Kailey for making me feel so welcome last Friday night… and thank you Wes for the introduction
One cliche after another
If you want to insult a writer just make a passing comment that something of his or hers might smack, just a bit, of cliche.
But I had a kid almost three years ago and my life became a cliche machine.
And a couple of days ago the mother of my child and I experienced the birth of our second child at home.
Guess what?
It was amazing: Tears, laughter, screaming. Love, fear, the circle of life.
Yup. Cliche Central around my house.
Just added: Psychic Home Parties
As regular visitors to davemoses.ca will notice, I’ve added “Psychic Home Parties” to my list of offered strangeness.
I’ve been reading palms, tarot/playing cards and rune stones, for over 20 years… as my teenage journals will attest. Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of readings at my shows, and frankly it’s as popular as the mind-reading. The trouble is, I love giving readings but I don’t like using the word “psychic”. It’s such a loaded term and it’s just not the way I see myself… I’m not even close to all-seeing and although I use my intuition and imagination– I like to let them be guided by the Oracle I’m using. That’s what fascinates me. I consider myself a skeptic but I’m always impressed how cards on a table, lines on a palm, or chicken bones thrown on the ground provide us with insightful portraits of ourselves. And with that information allow ourselves to predict the future– by creating one that we want.
… however I don’t think I’m cool enough to pull off a “Psi-party” either. How would I even dress for that? I could call them a “Tarot Evening”… or a “Psychometrist’s Soirée”… but I don’t think that quite cuts it.
So until I find a better name for it, Psychic Home Party will have to stand. I’ll let the internet do it’s thing and allow the people who are looking for this kind of fun to find me.
For the rest of you, it’ll be fun, I promise, with some entertaining demonstrations, a 20 minute or so reading for each guest, some prizes maybe… kinda like a Tupperware party for your imagination.
