July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
For Andre the Blog Monkeys Banana Bar / Week 3 Category 3: "What living politician, scientist, or world figure do you think is most important as a role model? The key here is the word living. Since I consider Christ as a living individual my main answer to this has to be the One Living God. Never-the-less I do not intend to continue with this answer or make this a controversial answer to the question. Basically, role model means using someone else's life, example, or philosophy, as an example for your own actions. Dealing with this as a human question I quess I can't really say I have a role model within our present society. At least not a specific movie star, scientist, politician, or other more media prone person. Yet I do applaud persons who are doing research or working to establish laws to advance the living ability of free loving societies. I tried looking up various individuals I could be interested in who are doing things I admire; but don't necessarily want to copy. Judy Sheindlin on Judge Judy has an admirable record as a lawyer. There are lawyers working within our government, (the USA), that have a heart for the people they serve, that I admire. Also, found some other lawyers working worldwide to help people by meddling in governmental issues, that favor freedom, within societies in other countries. I cite human rights lawyer Amal Clooney here. I'm reading a book called "What the Ear Hears and Doesn't" by Richard Mainwaring which deals with the science of sound frequency. Mainwaring is a musician. He builds musical arrangements for various media situations. I haven't finished reading the book, but it reveals some interesting facts about sound. Doing some research about this subject I found two other people. Doing a study of the Neuroscience of Music are Daniel J. Levitin, PHD and Mona Lisa Chandra, PHD, at McGill University in Montreal. Levitin authored the book, "This is Your Brain on Music", which I have not read yet. I am more interested in knowledge put forth by scientists, politicians, and philosophers, than in the specific way they always live their life. In any event, I'm supposed to be personally involved in making sure I live my own life in a proper way. One Reference: Science Watch / Music as Medicine by Amy Novotney, Vol.44, No. 10.
