A banker is speaking to me as if he’s Albert Einstein using phrases that only an MBA graduate could understand yet this isn’t actually occurring in a bank but my head.  For this was all a dream and I was lost the moment this imaginary person opened his mouth. Does a different part of my brain understand these words or are they made up in some creative dialect? Is it possible that one part of my brain is actually smarter or more verbal then another and it only comes out when I’m sleeping or is my mind more creative then I think? I may never know but maybe sleep is a better education then one would believe if only we could remember the words.

You and me are experts, whom can be called for advise on the” subject matter” if it came up and we remembered. We have become an expert because we spend more time and effort with one topic then most other people. There might be thousands of other experts in this category but at that moment you know more then most others in the vicinity and are “in the building”. You might even be a more through expert then others that have studied this matter more thoroughly and for a longer period of time  because it’s fresh in your head.  Here are the top 10 I feel at this moment that I can consider myself an expert on. WITHIN THESE PARAMETERS WHAT ARE YOU AN EXPERT IN?

(1) ALEXANDER HAMILTON- I have just finished a 800 page book on this individual and the information is fresh in my head and on my phone.

(2) BLOG WRITING- There is hardly a day that passes without me writing a piece in this blog.

(3) CHOCOLATE-  Almost everyday my palate explores the taste of chocolate and often try a variety of unique known brands. I also have researched information on this topic.

(4) FAMILY BUSINESS- After spending a minimum of 45 hours a week for over 22 years in this field I better have some experience there.

(5) FAITH- I have spent a considerable amount of time exploring various faith routes and have come to one that works best for me and I hope others as well.

(6) FIRST TIME FILM-MAKING MAYBE… I have a produced a film from the concept, to production and final distribution deal. This knowledge continues as I explore other avenues in this business.

(7) HORROR MOVIES- From the age of 7 until this date I have watched horror movies from slasher to vampire and have picked up knowledge on what makes people scream!

(8) JOSEPH-  This is the one biblical story that I have tried to explore from different angles and continue to investigate various prospective.

(9) MENTAL HEALTH IMPLOSIONS- My studies with NAMI as well as first hand experience(s) have given me insight into those that are suffering with an implosion and how best to calm the situation down. This is of course easier from those that are outside the situation then those that are in it.

(10) POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY- I have a passion to find out why people believe that a certain political philosophy/person is best for them, their community and even the world. This passion has led me to explore many different philosophies and have some ferocious debates with individuals who see things a bit differently. I find at times I can argue their point better then they can argue it themselves.

If at the moment I  had just the right confidence you would hooting with laughter.  Yet I felt you would be probably be embarrassed with this joke line even though deep down inside you would be laughing (maybe deeper then that well).  Maybe the joke need a bit more development anyway or maybe it would be better if someone would have delivered the punch line. We will never know because this joke was for the moment and this hysterical moment just passed us by like a tree with coffee.

WHAT IF?

They closed the voices in my head that disturbed me day and night but there was one that should have been able to speak. This voice lead me down a path that seemed right for me when the other voices tried to trip me up. One voice that helped me perceive what was occurring in front of me and what might occur behind as well. I was warned about something occurring before my treatment in that exact spot but  then all of a sudden all I heard was silence. The treatment shut out all the voices even the one that might have heard the bridge collapse before it occurred.

No matter whether it’s their Freshman  or Senior year  sending your children back off to college leaves a bit of sadness in a parents heart. Even though they grow more independent year by year there is something about them living in your house that makes them still seem like the child they were only a few years ago. Maybe it’s as simple as doing their wash or having them eat dinner with you (once a week or so)  that makes you feel that bond continue.  When you leave them in college there is a sinking feeling of despair that will hold you until you ease back to your  “normal/leisure work cycle” and the call/text from your child is heard or written even if it’s to add a few more $’s to their meal plan.
