Right Brained

If you are like me... ok maybe that's not the best opening statement because for one thing how are you to know if you are like me and two if you do know me or know enough about me to be able to say "hey, no im not like you".. and therefore your brain switches off. Maybe you have read up to this point and your brain is already switched off, who is to know. Anyhow i digress. Im going to just write it as it comes out. I shall start a new line however to differentiate the difference in content. This first block being purely babbled bullshit and the second paragraph writing about something I think people will benefit from.

MSN Messenger 7 Current Playing Song - For Winamp
Do you use Winamp more than you do Windows Media Player? So do i, it always annoyed me how if i wanted to display to people what i was listening to i had to use Windows Media Player. Not anymore, i googled it and found a plugin that lets winamp works with Msn 7 so it displays what your listening to. Heres the link.

I am not a fan of labels because I dont like to label myself because i think it blocks your mind off from looking at yourself differently which you should always be doing/reassesing because that is how you grow as a person. Anywho I do however fall into the description of the person who happily puts themself into a label which they feel comfortable with seeing themselves as. One such label which i enjoy associating myself with is the label of a "Right Brained" person. You see when i label myself as a "Right Brained" person I am associating myself with all the traits which i am good at and "enjoy" that word enjoy is the key ... and dissasociating myself with all of the "Left Brained" traits which i suck at. When i read descriptions of right brained traits i am saying YES YES thats me to every charactersistic and get a good feeling from this. Placing myself under this label makes me feel better about my weeknesses because i can say, oh im not good at maths because Im right brained. My brain just turned to putty and I am finding it hard to write. That's another thing I find it hard to do, to concentrate. My mind always wanders, always, so naturally tasks where a high level of concentration is beneficial i tend to not enjoy. I need change, randomness and the likes of. I tend to be drawn towards and remember things which are emotionally charged as opposed to informationally charged. Like right now I am feeling so right brained its not humerous. So if you are left brained you are probably focusing on that im not really saying f' all or may be saying "what, that sentence doesnt make sense" or focus on my "spelling errors". But I dont see things this way and in my mind im saying i just want to get the "general" overall idea out there.

All i can do is write from what im directly experiencing in the moment right now, the mother f'ing present tense. I am listening to loads of heavy music at the moment and am really really enjoying it ... immensely. And have just read over what ive written so far and its really really "me me me" based.. f' it!

Heres a list of left/right brain traits that you can look at and see if you can associate yourself with a dominant side, if you want, if you dont want to you can do a search for "lemonparty" on google and see what you find.
