Psych.,Soc.,&OtherPartsCrazy

This whole POST is a tangent. Hugs and apologies to FV for teasing, that wasn't nice.

In university, I had to take psychology and sociology electives. Not exactly my favourite, most fascinating subjects. I was constantly thinking, as I was earnestly taught the psychology stuff, "What, you didn't already KNOW that??"

Example. Big, psycho, important study. If you put a whole bunch of rats into a too small cage, they FIGHT. There have been reams of studies like this. Reams and reams and reams. This is surprising? An important find? I learned to smile, and agree.
I didn't even laugh.

The best, only thing I learned from psychology was the word "gestalt". Don't ask me too much, some guy, maybe named Gestalt, coined this term for the ability to take a whole bunch of facts and stuff, and "get" the big picture of whatever you are looking at/talking about. I loved that idea, because I seemed to forever be gestalting stuff. Like young TB's broke as yearlings. Riders doing too much, too soon. Y'know?

Reminds me of horses, riding and training, big time. If you don't gestalt it, you don't get it.

Sounds better than saying you don't get it, anyway.

Sociology was a breeze. No rights, no wrongs. I'm great at describing sociology, it's descriptions from all around you.

Best I can do tonight folks, but I thought I should share my picture. Hope you like it. NCC,whattya think? Are ya scared yet? Wouldn't you laugh at that figure? I can't help it sorry. The searing whiteness of my flesh, is um, grossss.

AofG, picture is of me by the Pacific ocean, playing with my sister and niece and nephew. I am a stick, with a bathing suit on. You wonder why I laugh at myself?
I make myself laugh, looking the way I do.

Do you like the bright red rubber over-sized foot gear? Yeah, this is way BEFORE "crocs" became fashionable. I start a LOT of fashion trends. That in itself, is scary. One picture that's missing, is my nephew holding one of the Giant Red crocs, at fingers length, looking disgusted. He tried to make them float out to sea... They came back. I STILL have them. You can't buy quality like that for $5.99 from the grocery store anymore..

I think I should pass the training blog reins over to AofG for awhile. Bloody brilliant, what you commented on mugs. "applause" "ovation, standing"

And, the deafening silence regarding the sequel to Champions 1 & 2 means that Champ three may have to be canceled, due to lack of advance interest:)

To Horses. To Those Who Are Always Getting It. Like You.
