There is a classic bochner sceme brewing that will hopefully be unleased in the near future. It basically involves everybody I know, working together on something big. I haven't finished the details, but it will start small. One of the start off idea's I had was to get everybody I know and do a clean up project in some shitty area, all the while maybe having a band like the vitamen playing so it's a really fun time for everybody. Eventually this thing should morph into a club/society where we have meetings and come up with ways to have as large an impact as possible.
Someone who's good at one or all of the following: ice skating, pool, bowling, chess, tennis and skiing.A little abstract but I was thinking about how you can really learn from the world around you and I arbitrarily thought about a tree and asked what can I learn from a tree, so here is what I came up with. I thought a tree is strong, it grows, it can take things from the outside world and convert it into something specfic it needs. I thought about how flexible a tree is in regards to its responses to different environments, when the weather is nice and the day is long it will bloom and be full of life, when the weather gets colder and the day shorter it will shed its leaves and retract its beauty, but not before warning the world of the change by turning different colors. Wind will make a tree bend but seldom break, snow will weight it down but the tree is strong and bears the load. If the external forces are too great and the tree is overcome by an external force it does not stop living or serving a purpose. If a tree falls and is not used by humans insects will eat it, or it will decompose and serve as fertalizer for new life to blossom. If humans need to build houses a tree will gladly support our homes and keep us warm by being burned. Even after serving as a source of heat the ashes can still be used to serve as fertilizer. I can hardly think of an instance where a tree is a waste. In conclusion, I would like to meet someone who is like a tree, and I aspire to be more like the tree, similar to how Siddhartha learned from the stream. P.S add on to learning from the world around. A while back someone told me dogs or maybe it was a certain breed of dog won't stop eating until their bowl is empty or their owner takes away their food. If their owner give them like 10 pounds off food they will just eat until they puke, and then start eating again. I think this is how people should be with their life and what the world has to offer, we should all be looking to get as much out of it until we puke, and then look to get some more.
