This blog updates at least weekly on any of the days below with the topics as follows: On a Monday-Maniac Mondays = All Things that are All Things!Generally thoughts, ideas or tools we think can be useful to the personal or professional life. On a Thursday-Tumultuous Thursdays = All Things Metaphysical On a Friday-Funtastic Fridays = All Things Fun!(cartoons, stories about the Purple Elephant and the Little mouse...) Studious Saturdays = All Things about the craft of fiction writing. Also we will give you little snippets about how our fantasy fiction novel in progress is going. Sometimes this can be told as a cartoon. We will be doing nanowrimo this year as well.
Also our Advent calendar will be happening this year as usual! Look for an interesting and new format!
OK so today is the day that Slumbering Saturdays was suppose to have become Studious Saturdays...but it didn't go as well as planned and after a hard week of full time work and a late Friday night...well most of Saturday was spent Slumbering and then Erranding...but as we get to the end of what was suppose to be a Studious Saturday...we are filled with little reproach!
You see we still plan to fill the last hours of the night with some writing and continue to have a strong visualization for next Saturday...us getting up in the wee hours of the morning...sitting at our writing desk...writing away...a few thousand words even before the sun comes up! :)
But for tonight we still did a little bit write...so we will call it a truce and say it is still the launch of Studious Saturdays if you like!
Look forward to blogs on other days of the week as normally themed i.e. Maniac Mondays, Tumultuous Thursdays and even Funtastic Fridays if we might!
And on our sister blog UCP we shall be launching this year's festival of Shiv! So look for that this Monday!
So until then...to all a good night!
And hope you all enjoyed the cartoon above and the associated movie clip below! :)
We're sorry for not posting any blogs on Maniac Mondays, Tumultuous Thursdays or even Funtastic Fridays this week but the Production House has just been a beehive of activity! Everyone's been swamped with their day jobs (which are needed to bring in much needed cash to buy honey and bread) and with Diwali activities...just check out UCP! So to make up for that we bring you a Slumbering Saturdays post today! Of course the house will be even more a buzz next week because some of us are going to be doing the Nanowrimo challenge for 2010! I think the cartoon says it all though! :)
So on Mon 1st Nov 2010...Nanowrimo 2010 here we come! :)
Today on Funtastic Fridays we decided to take a break from all the talk about writing, writers and novels, and dabble into some fun of a Metaphysics kind! Many or you readers must have heard of or read of auras before...but even though it's a Friday of fun let's get the definitions clear...after all there is no work without play and so if we flip it around play can be funner if it involves and challenges the mind at times too no? Hey it must be...after all why is sudoku and other puzzle games so famously fun then?
So let's have our own kinda metaphysical puzzle fun here today on Funtastic Fridays...
According to Wikipedia an aura can be defined as follows:
Aura:"In parapsychology and many forms of spiritual practice, an aura is a field of subtle, luminous radiation surrounding a person or object (like the halo or aureola in religious art). The depiction of such an aura often connotes a person of particular power or holiness. Sometimes, however, all people, or all living things, or all objects whatsoever are said to manifest such an aura. Often it is held to be perceptible, whether spontaneously or with practice: such perception is at times linked with the third eye of Indian spirituality.[1][2] Various writers associate various personality traits with the colors of different layers of the aura.[3][4][5]
Skeptics such as Robert Todd Carroll contend that auras may be seen for reasons such as migraines, synesthesia,[6] epilepsy, a disorder within the visual system, a disorder within the brain, or due to the influence of psychedelic drugs such as LSD.[7][8] Eye fatigue can also produce an aura, sometimes referred to as eye burn."
Now let's say two people of auras of very high intensity of light meet...and well if auras are light well then according to Physics they will have some wave properties and as you study Physics at higher levels such that you bypass Newton and get to Einstein well then you have to deal with wave-particle duality but let's just stick with good ole apple falling on our heads Newtonian Physics then! :) So let's say auras are light and so then they are waves...
So if two beings with high intensity auras were to meet well if their auras were to collide that would be one very bright light! :) Wouldn't it? And wouldn't that be exciting...a meeting of auras...a meeting of minds...such that two very bright auras got even brighter...wow northern lights watch out for that natural fireworks display! :)
So let's look at it as wave theory for some puzzle fun...you see if the two auras meet to do positive i.e. for a greater good it can be seen that they meet as waves interfering in a constructive manner as oppose to a destructive manner...and the Physics of it goes well like as described on this site...
"Let us now consider two waves A and B, such that A moves to the right, and B will move to the left. At any point, the displacement is the sum of the separate displacements due to each wave. This is called the principle of superposition. Observe what happens as the two waves move towards each other. Note that the maximum displacement of a particle in the medium is the sum of the amplitudes of the waves. If the displacement is in the same direction, as is the case here, we have a superposition called CONSTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE."
"Consider a special case where two waves have the same amplitude and wavelength (you only see one because the one obscures the other) travelling at the same speed from left to right. The two waves are in phase, since their maxima and minima coincide exactly. The resulting wave is simply one with the same wavelength but double the amplitude:
So you get...that if two big large bright silver auras collide we'd get one big gigantic silver aura of good! :)
And according to those who claim to see, read and analyse auras like on this site...silver auras mean:
SILVER:This is the color of abundance, both spiritual and physical. Lots of bright silver can reflect to plenty of money, and/or awakening of the cosmic mind.
Often when you see a silver aura it is hard to distinguish if you are not also seeing a lot of white...so here is what white auras means as well...
WHITE:Reflects other energy. A pure state of light. Often represents a new, not yet designated energy in the aura. Spiritual, etheric and non-physical qualities, transcendent, higher dimensions. Purity and truth; angelic qualities.
White sparkles or flashes of white light: angels are nearby; can indicate that the person is pregnant or will be soon.
We're sorry for this late edition of Funtastic Fridays (back dated and really done on a Sunday) and that we've not posted anything else on Meady's Musings for the week. We've been thinking, researching, travelling about a bit (perhaps looking for ideal writing locations) and as a whole wondering about two main things:
1. the location from where writers write
2. the ability of writers to become the characters which they write about while they are going through the writing process!
Our Maniac Mondays and Tumultuous Thursdays blog posts this coming week will cover our thoughts and experiences on these two topics but until then we thought we'd lead up to it with these two hopefully at least slightly funny cartoons you see above! Which we did using the Hasta Milan website:)
Our current global society is pretty mixed up about this whole love business so no doubt it's also mixed up about this whole platonic and platonic love (spelt with lower case) or Platonic love(spelt with upper case)business as well...
We here at Meady's Musings would like to say on this Funtastic Friday that love is...and really then it is simple...we just choose to express it in several forms and fashion...operative word CHOICE! But there is no need for adjectives then...and we think that to be honest is what Plato meant to say too...we just went off on it and started to use a dead man's name without his permission in all the wrong adjectives!
However Plato's name becomes convenient for all to use in today's world since it is filled with manipulation and games...competitiveness, greed, cheating, scams...you name it! From the board room to the bedroom to unfortunately as innocence continues to get lost even in the sandbox! But then of course none of these things are love anyway...
So what we are wondering here on Funtastic Fridays (which seems to be overlapping into the realm of Maniac Mondays and Tumultuous Thursdays as well)...
Is the purest form of love between a man and a woman in today's society best borne from platonic roots? That is have a good friendship first and then have something romantic? Or should it be the other way around as most dating rituals in society portray it? Have a romance and then if the relationship lasts long term...out of it realise you are also good friends so that if you didn't even have romantic feelings you'd still be friends? Or perhaps the best approach is a mix of the two? We're not 'love gurus' so we will leave it up to you to decide and after all this was suppose to be a Funtastic Fridays post not therapy! LOL!
If you ask us though as a whole society could do with way lot more...LOVE! It is perhaps the root of all our problems today...as naive as it may sound...you see the need and longing everywhere! So we cue this song...as cheesy as our readers may find it! :)
And what we will also say is that we believe who really had love in its purest form down pat was Rumi of Sufi mystic fame! Check him here...
Of course it doesn't mean that people shouldn't be in sexual relationships that meets the approval of all concerned whether it be marriage and all...we're just really asking... WHERE IS THE LOVE?! LOL!
This is a late edition of Funtastic Fridays really done on a Slumbering Saturday but I decided to back date it as after all it wouldn't be a Funtastic Friday if the post date reads Saturday!:)
A bit of explanation to the cartoon for those who may not know all the cartoon characters off hand or the issues being discussed...especially the Bollywood overtones and who is Sri Sri?
To be honest I've only myself heard of Sri Sri a few years now and only when doing this cartoon did I research him some more...you see I have to also petition Pratish Mistry whose Hasta Milan website only allows me to make cartoons with Bollywood types and one or two others like Sri Sri! So when I decided to use Hasta Milan for making this cartoon...well it probably serves me right since Hasta Milan is actually a 'Portal providing free messaging services for Indian matrimony, online dating, shaadi relationships advice for Indian singles worldwide' and not primarily a cartoon making site. Although you can do it for fun too, perhaps to meet people over cartoons? So yep I was a bit restricted...to props and persons for dating themes and celebrity fantasty dates! LOL! But I felt it was an easy way to get the cartoon I wanted to do and perhaps if I impressed Pratish Mistry I'd get to graduate to being a full fledged cartoonist and get to use the tools on Wonkie Cartoons with more panels and options and everything...LOL!
But really I've been wanting to do a Rain Dance...I've been contemplating it all week long...even had it up as my personal Facebook status...and found that other women have tried it before like here. But ahmmm...I can't say I am willing to go that far...but it's really not rained all February long and not a March Moisture in sight in Trinidad! And then I thought I'd make a cartoon of our Prime Minister here in Trinidad and Tobago and another MP in his party-Colm Imbert doing the rain dance but out of fear of political persecution and for other reasons I deflected from the funny thoughts of good ole Colm dancing in a hula skirt...LOL!
So there it was the cartoon I ended up with...and for the record here is some more information about things and persons mentioned in it:
1. Sri Sri: you can read more about him here. But many say his claims to work with the UN are exaggerated or taken out of context but it made him a fitting character as a result.
2. By now most people must have heard of the IPCC and they have a working group III (wg3) and they do most of the well...work of the IPCC that focuses on the mitigation of climate change but you can read more about them here.
3. And well my fascination with rain dances and my restriction to characters of Bollywood fame made me recall their obesession to well not really do dances that bring rain but to dance in the rain! But this one by Raveena Tandon in the movie Mohra to me always epitomises 'the Bollywood Rain Dance' and perhaps a dance like that can bring rain! So here it is to add to the Friday fun to see what I'm talking about...
And on a closing note Raveena Tandon got married in 2004 or there abouts and like most Bollywood actresses have stopped acting or gone on a go slow...can't see her doing this dance again though...so it will remain as a rain dance classic! She currently says she will only do roles that are fitting to her age and won't embarass her children! But dunno I guess maybe Sri Sri can convince her yet if it is a matter of saving the world for her children...
It's time for fun again as it's Funtastic Friday! Today, just like last week Friday I can't stop thinking about the Tumultuous Thursday blog post and it has inspired today's fun blog post! So here it is folks...Katrina Kaif appears on the reality TV show on NDTV...raaz pichhle janam ka...where participants undergo past life regression live!
