Postcards from the Funny Farm

I had an absolute blast this week reading blogosphere posts about the brain and inspiration. Here are some I stumbled along the way. Please stumble them all, they are very deserving.

52 Sunday Evening Meditations on Life | Marc and A...
Great list of 52 “mantras” or meditations. Give ‘em a read.

This is the kind of picture where you stare it it and it keeps getting weirder and weirder with the possibilities of what you are seeing.

A Blog About The Law of Inspiration: Creating Unli...
I really like and agree with these ideas to keep inspiration flowing.

Drumroll Please
CK is one of the coolest bloggers out there. She dedicates her posts to describing what mental health issues feel like. What a contribution! It so happens she nominated me for an award in this post. I want to recommend her to you.

overeating and anorexia: a dialogue
A very candid and informative dialogue on a therapist’s blog. Archive this one as an excellent, eye-opening resource on anorexia.

Life’s Little Gifts | Growing Happiness
An amazing tip on finding inspiration in the little things. This is an inspiration blog I really recommend.

D’oh! It’s not a comedy cell
I really like how this guy once again describes how the brain is working in ordinary situations, like watching the Simpsons. I can’t promote his blog enough. Did you ver see the episode where he called Chicago personal injury lawyers. Me neither because I don’t think it existed. I saw the one where they showed his brain though :) That’s the kind of fun you get on his site.

They say about 30-100 different animals species, including insects, birds, mammals, and amphibians become extinct every single day in the rainforest!

I don’t know about the rainforest animals but I can tell you a lot of cultural items that have died out in my lifetime. Here are 10 items. Are you less ordinary? Do you miss this stuff?

1. The Hummer (I heard on the radio that they closed all production and fired a lot of people)
2. The LP (Record)
3. Stubbies beach shorts
4. Macrame (imagine that on etsy)
5. Cassette Albums
6. Betamax
7. Headbands (sweat ones anyway like Olivia Newton John wore in the video for Physical)
8. Jellies (womens sandals made of clear plastic)
9. Pop tops on cans of soda and beer
10. Mopeds (I am so angry they no longer have these!)

As the buzz words from yesterday fade, we get new ones like the crippling disease mesothelioma or the compelling medium called “blogging.” Some of those listed above you have to be a certain minimum age to remember! These 10 are just off the top of my head … Please help me bring back some memories for my readers and make this list longer!
