November bang, reconnect with your goals, tell everyone

It´s time to wake up from our dreamy state and reconnect with our goals and ideals.
If you have any.
Change is in the air, excitement and hope. And I am not just referring to the U.S. elections.

Currently I am not angry at all. Maybe finally meditating and living in the moment pays off. Imagine, if we all would start living in the moment, what effect such a change in behaviour could bring..
Conscius ignorance at the very least, maybe? Or much better – an effort in conscientiousness in regard to all our actions.
No more pretending not to know, being aware of pretending not to know. Denial, delusion, ignorance,
what will happen to these loyal companions? They will never leave us, because they are just way too entertaining friends…

I am wandering off, again. In psychology there is a distinction between self perception and interpersonal perception. The perception we have of ourselves often does not comply with the image others have of us. Or how they see us. Knowing this, we are worried how some of our actions will be judged by others, how this and that remark could paint a picture of ourself as a really not likeable person. Or a really likeable person.
The fun beginns, when image and reality collide. Some master through it, with matching mannerisms, body-language and mimic. But often, our body and our face tells a different story.
Just think of former President Bill Clinton and his non-confessions: “I did not inhale” and ” I had no sexual relations with that woman”.
But what is even more entertaining – people actually believing it.
I was reading the following posts recently, and they obviously enlightened me drastically:

• Kathlyn and Gay Hendricks column on the Huffington Post about Sarah Palin´s Body language and why it should worry you
• and more on Election Anxiety: Advice from Abraham Lincoln
• and some more from the Huffington Post : Fox News Major Garrett defends Obama against
  Fox & Friend´s in leaked e-mail

and, after I discovered George Carlin, it was just a matter of minutes to find out about Bill Hicks.
Finally, there is nothing more entertaining,enlightning and mindblowing than individuals being open and honest. We laugh about it, because it is funny.

So, in memory of Bill Hicks,

Winter depression, the question of self-deception

Well, it´s been a while. Somehow right now everything is kind of dark. I don´t see much sense in anything right now. At the same time, I repel those depressive thoughts. I could sleep and never wake up. I don´t know. What is the meaning if anything, if there is nothing?
For years now I always have this recurring problem:

My name memory is pretty shitty. But somehow , I can memorize any sh** anyone has ever said. It drives me mad.I wish I could live in negligence. And then, when I point out some inconsistencies I am blamed. Or I get to hear : I ´ve never said that.

I truly wish I clould live in that deceptive, self deceptive dreamworld. I wish, just for once, that my brain and my f****** awareness would be clouded. I don´t want anything anymore.

I know that we all carry contradicting traits in us – that is what characterizes us, or forms peoples profile, thier dilemma, their drama, the inner intensity.
But righ now, I could just move to a log cabin.

Here are some interesting thoughts on:

• maybe I should consider this: Better living through self-deception
• Stanford Encyclopedia on Philosophy: definition of self-deception
• a little summary on lies to ourselves
• Social Power and Self Deception: social evolution and social influence: selfishness, deception and self-deception (scholary paper by Mario F. Heilmann

and here is something visual and very entertaining on the the aspects as mentioned before,from the

Daily Show. Enjoy!

ok, and here is something to cheer up. A liitle cure against winter depression. If you understand the lyrics and you see the performance you´ll get it- Sampanjac – udara u glavu ko sampanjac.
As a female, I just love it, I am not offended by it in anyway.

Enjoy it.
