One on one...


We think of one on one as "directly between two individuals" however I'm reckoning with the fact at times it has a direct reference with myself. The inner self I dread to look into but must face for peace of mind...

Take a load off
Give up the struggle–
All those weighty questions
Spinning you in circles
Sapping the life out of you
Easier said than done–
I’ve ridden those circles–
Like wild ferris wheels
Taking me round and round...


Read it at least once or perhaps a thousand times. The act or process of self-examination, or inspection of one's own thoughts and feelings; the cognition which the mind has of its own acts and states; self-consciousness; reflection. I refuse allowing myself to sink into self-pity for fear it may take over like a wine gone bad. I listen to the words over and over to realize; room must not be allowed under any circumstances. Instead, I go on acting-reacting quickly to overcome daily dilemma's

The idea of one on one in the most commonly referred use on a daily basis is "a piece of cake" for I take pleasure being around my family. Seeing life through the eyes' of others is no task at all...

the tendency or disposition to do this becomes sympathetic introspection in my case. We form beliefs about our own mental states by introspection.  But however it works, philosophers have long taken note of the fact that each individual’s introspective capacity seems to place us in a unique position to form beliefs, and gain knowledge, of our own mental states. An individual’s introspective beliefs about our own mental states seem in some way more secure than beliefs about the external world, including beliefs about the mental states of other people. Correspondingly, our introspective beliefs about our own mental states seem more secure than the beliefs that anyone else could form about  mental states. In these ways, there seems to be something epistemically special about the beliefs that we form on the basis of introspection. 

 

 

 

Typically, this specialness has been referred to as the privileged access that we have to our own mental states. If introspective mistake is ruled out by logical necessity, then what sense can we attach to the notion of gaining knowledge by introspection? We can speak of gaining knowledge only in cases where it makes sense to speak of thinking wrongly that we have gained knowledge. In the words of the slogan: ‘If you can’t be wrong, then you can’t be right either.’ If failure is logically impossible, then talk of success is meaningless.

 

 

 

Enough said today; time to go out riding to work off some energy...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enjoy your day, week, life...Above all enjoy your loved one~~

Forgotten land...

Generally, you ain't learnin' nothin' when your mouth is a-jawin'


When learning turns drastically one way or another; it is time to take time and ponder on your ideas. Time to let world go by for a while, time to go out and just ride the day away...I read some people can function better on less sleep. The sort of thing makes one wonder about how effective the end results are>>








Nowadays, some short sleepers gravitate to fields like blogging, videogame design and social media, where their sleep habits come in handy. "If I could find a way to do it, I'd never sleep," says Dave Hatter, a software developer in Fort Wright, Ky. He typically sleeps just four to five hours a night, up from two to three hours a few years ago.


"It's crazy, but it works for me," says Eleanor Hoffman, an overnight administrator at Bellevue Hospital Center in New York who would rather spend afternoons playing mahjong with friends than sleep anymore than four hours. Sometimes she calls her cousin, Linda Cohen, in Pittsburgh about 4 a.m., since she knows she'll be wide awake as well -- just like they were as kids.






During the last fifteen years the American cowboy has occupied a place sufficiently important to entitle him to a considerable share of public attention. His occupation is unique. In the exercise of his function he is always a man on horseback. His duty as a worker in the cattle business is at times to ride over the range in order to see that straying cattle do not rove too far from the assigned limits of time herd of which lie has charge; at times to drive the herd from one locality to another; and at times to round up the dispersed cattle, by which is meant to collect them together for the purpose of branding calves, or of selecting beef cattle, which latter are driven to railroad stations for shipment to market. The chief qualifications of efficiency in this calling are courage, physical alertness, ability to endure exposure and fatigue, horsemanship, and skill in the use of the lariat.






The original cowboy of this country was essentially a creature of circumstance, and mainly a product of western and southwestern Texas.

 
 

It is not a strange thing that such an occupation and such environment should have developed a class of men whom persons accustomed to the usages of cultivated society would characterize as ruffians of the most pronounced type. But among the better disposed of the Texas cowboys, who constitute, it is believed, much more than a majority of them, there were true and trusty men, in whom the dangers and fortunes of their lives developed generous and heroic traits of character.

 It is impossible for one who has not had actual experience in  riding on trail to imagine the difficulties involved in driving a large herd of wild cattle over mountain ranges, across desert lands where in some cases food and water are not found for many miles, and where streams must be crossed which are liable to dangerous freshets.



 

Have a great wekend!!

Should be able to do~~

A Man Should Be Able To:


1. Give advice that matters in one sentence. I got run out of a job I liked once, and while it was happening, a guy stopped me in the hall. Smart guy, but prone to saying too much. I braced myself. I didn't want to hear it. I needed a white knight, and I knew it wasn't him. He just sighed and said: When nobody has your back, you gotta move your back. Then he walked away. Best advice I ever got. One sentence.

2. Tell if someone is lying. Everyone has his theory. Pick one, test it. Choose the tells that work for you. I like these: Liars change the subject quickly. Liars look up and to their right when they speak. Liars use fewer contractions. Liars will sometimes stare straight at you and employ a dead face. Liars never touch their chest or heart except self-consciously. Liars place objects between themselves and you during a conversation.

3. Take a photo. Fill the frame.

Riding a bronc is like dancing with a girl. The trick is matching your partner's

A bronc rider should be light in the head and heavy in the seat.

And last...

Don't never interfere with something that ain't botherin' you none.

 

You'll have a great day!!

One voice....

Something I read recently made me think about one voice-one person~



When one person says something, it can often be overlooked — when 50,000 people say something, well, then everyone listens.




The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is listening. In late September they announced they will conduct a wilderness review for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This review is the first step to getting a full presidential recommendation to Congress that the Arctic Refuge be permanently protected as part of the National Wilderness Preservation System.



This is great news and something our WildAlert subscribers have been championing. Over the summer we asked our members and supporters to urge for this review and they truly delivered.



More than 50,000 people, including members and supporters of The Wilderness Society, took action during the summer to tell the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to recommend that the entire Arctic Refuge be designated as Wilderness — keeping the oil drills, pipelines, and roads out of the caribou breeding grounds forever.



The reasons to protect the Arctic Refuge are many — from the caribou calving grounds where new generations of the Porcupine caribou herd are born, to the traditional homeland of the Gwich’in people, whose forefathers have dwelled and sustained their culture on the lands of the Arctic Refuge for millennia.




Polar bears, their hunting grounds threatened by a warming world and melting sea ice, still find the Arctic Refuge a safe haven for their dens, and millions of songbirds, shorebirds, and waterfowl make their nests on the tundra every summer.



Protection of the coastal plain, what is considered the heart of the Arctic Refuge, has been at the top of many conservationists’ agendas since the refuge’s expansion in 1980 by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA).



The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is currently the only area on Alaska’s entire North Slope where oil exploration and development is prohibited by law. But despite its designation as a National Wildlife Refuge, oil and gas companies have been relentless in lobbying for access to the land for drilling.



In fact, during the Reagan administration, a Senate committee approved leasing in the refuge’s coastal plain but plans came to a blow when only ten days after their decision, the Exxon Valdez oil spill poured millions of gallons of crude oil into Prince William Sound.



A federal Wilderness designation is the only thing that will ensure that this irreplaceable crown jewel of America’s national refuge system remains wild.



As key proponents of full wilderness designation in the Arctic Refuge, The Wilderness Society recognizes the importance of uniting with supporters on all levels to make our voices heard and we are grateful for everyone’s efforts. We thank you and urge you to continue the resounding chorus.

Getting Ready to Ride a Horse

So, it's time for your very first horseback ride and you just can't wait to jump on that horse's back so you can gallop off into the sunset. However, before you ride off on your horse, you will need to tack him up and then you will need to figure out how to actually get up there.


Tack up your horse.

o Put the saddle pad on. Make sure the pad is in the right direction. Put it on the horse's back, covering the horse's withers completely. Then slide it back so that the front of the pad is half on the withers, half on the back. You do this to make sure the hair on the horse's back is flat so the saddle and pad are not rubbing against the horse's skin, causing a sore.

o Gently set the saddle on the horses back. You then
o Put the girth on. You do this by fastening it to the keepers on one side. Then you go on the other side, grab the girth and fasten it to the keepers on the other side. It should be tight enough so that you can snugly fit two fingers in between the girth and the horse. Then make sure the saddle has not shifted. If you are using western tack you may just need to cinch it up.

o Put on the bridle. Does this by first, putting the reins over the horse's head, so that after you take the halter off, and the horse can't run off? Then remove the halter. Stand on the left side of the horse. Hold the top piece of the bridle in your right hand. Put your right hand, holding the bridle in between the horse's ears, so that the bridle dangles over the horse's face. Then with your left hand, insert your thumb into the corner of the horse's mouth, so that the horse opens its mouth. Use the same hand to move the bit into the horse's mouth, while pulling up with your right hand. Then put the top of the bridle up over the horse's ears, where it rests behind the horse's ears. Then situate the bridle so that it's comfy for the horse, and buckle up the nose band and throat latch. The first times you do this, I would strongly recommend you ask for help. Depending how tall the horse is and how short you are, you maty want to have a stool or mounting block for this.

The end....
