Illusionist


Illusionist

He took a quarter from behind your ear.

Made a box disappear.

Made water from a cage of pigeons.

I got everything I wanted and more.

I got to see everything.

What was most amazing was the melodic menagerie.

The harmony of the symphony.

Climactic elements swinging through the air.

 Elements melding, things disappearing in midair.

I think that I will never see anything as amazing as I did that night.

And then from that box that disappeared.

Appeared a smaller box.

Then he asked her to hold out her hand.

Placed the box in her hand, covered it.

Pulled the handkerchief away and on her finger was a ring.

A ring that shined like the stars.

Her eyes shimmered like the light off the ring.

I got down on one knee and asked her to share my soul.

The rest was pure magic.

Almost like a fairytale.

Never ending and never beginning.
I watch Penn and Teller's magic show on the CW. Well if I had a magician friend this is how I would propose. It would be awesome! This trick would be legen- wait for it- dary! I think if I could pull this off it would blow my mind like smoke and mirrors kind of craziness.
I sometimes think about how I'd propose to the One and this is one of my top favorite ideas.

Advice to a Dear Friend

Joshua: "How's work?" Erin: "Can't complain. Running my team today. I get nervous. Learning curve" Joshua: "Oh... Hun, you got this!" “Inevitably we find ourselves tackling too many things at the same time, spreading our focus so thin that nothing gets the attention it deserves. This is commonly referred to as "being busy." Being busy, however, is not the same thing as being productive.” ― Ryder Carroll, The Bullet Journal Method: Track the Past, Order the Present, Design the Future   Joshua: "I'm looking up quotes about multitasking but everyone seems to have issues with it. So my advice is to just focus on the task at hand and move on to the next." "If they need something and you need something as far as learning, just ask questions." Erin: On her iPhone, loves the quote. In my head slacker... hahaha! Just kidding. Erin: "I love your advice. Now that's legit boss guidance, thanks." ...

A Heart Bright Like the Sun

When I came to this crossroad, I met this lovely young lady. She had no face and I could only see her soul. I knelt down beside her and said how is your soul is so radiant? She said when you center yourself, you enter the state of allowing yourself to see all that is good and evil. She was the one meant for me and her soul was as bright as the sun. I took the road to the left and never saw her again. The next day I came back and there was no light at the crossroad but a black heart. What is the moral of the story? This is how I feel. No one is for certain who you will meet at each crossroad of our lives. Don't lose a chance to make something out of each crossroad. Then I picked up that heart put it in the pocket on my sleeve and wore it there for all the world to see. I walked across a tiny wooden bridge where I met a man with no soul just a mangled face. We spoke about the people on this road. We talked till sunset. He said I can give you what you nee...

A Generation Afraid to Fail

Not too long ago I had a conversation with my friend, Professor Robinson of CPCC, in light of the UNCC shooting on their campus. We talked about how students today are afraid to fail and can't handle negative grades or comments. I even get defensive about too harsh criticism but I've failed many times, before. I don't like being told things I already know like I'm in some grand delusion.  Tangent concluded. We spoke on a student that came to him and said, I can't fail, well he was given an option to withdraw from the class and take a W. I've taken a W, it sets you back but keeps your GPA intact. I guess he was in such a hurry to get out he forgot to not party and study. Students are so sensitive now that we have to coddle their personalities because growing up they all got participation trophies from the gaming boards and parents accepted it as okay. "Game theory is a theory of social interaction, which attempts to explain the interaction people ha...
