The Tipping Point

I ordered this book called "the Tipping Point" and started reading it today. Although I'm only through a few chapters I'm really enjoying it. The backbone of the book so far is looking beyond your sphere of influence. When we interact with other people we aren't just touching the surface, we are creating a ripple effect in society. You can do this in many ways, from physically talking to people. To yawning. Chances are that you yawned after reading that. I didn't have to be physically present nor even know you are reading my blog (thanks by the way). Now if you are reading this in public and yawned, another person could have seen you yawned, thus creating a small yawning epidemic. Even blind people can be affected by the minute sound of a yawn! When you present your influence on a person, you are not just affecting the individual. You are affecting society.

Wow that was deep!

I'm going to finish a few more chapters then blog again!

Thanks, Ciao

584 Days

So I'm obviously no longer in Vienna, as a matter of fact it's been 584 days since I last blogged on June 19th 2008. I am going to start blogging again soon. about what you say? no clue, maybe the weather, philosophy, perhaps what i had for lunch (it was perini's). Anyways, I am off to the Iron and Wine Concert at the Paramount. Update coming soon.

As always, Ciao

hey er'body

K so sorry its been a while since ive updated, ive been busy experiencing the city. I went on a trip to Budapest, Hungary last weekend. It was pretty fun the sights were quite amazing and you could definitely feel the eastern european/ former soviet block feeling. But the city for the most part was nice, with gorgeous buildings and monuments all around. Their currency took some getting used to though, 1 Euro = 230 hungarian forinths/1 dollar=160 hungarian forinths. so a meal at mcdonalds cost me around 900 forinths.

I recently have been experimenting around with some photo sharing websites, I have alot of pictures on www.photobucket.com from hungary, in the search bar just search for manchs07, it should pop my pictures right up.

But I probably will only be using picasa by google from now on, it organizes all of my images where i can update them automatically, the URL is http://picasaweb.google.com/manchs07, I will be using that from now on.

CIAO!

sorry

Sorry I haven't been updating lately, but I have one coming soon... I PROMISE!

Weekend trip to budapest

Last night we got back from budapest hungary, it was a really good experience. If you want to see pictures go to flickr.com, then search for manchs07, there are more that I haven't uploaded. CIAO

Yesterday was a very good day, we went to Schonbrunn palace after class with dr. patterson and everyone, me and casey were the only ones that took a tour, we weren't allowed to take pictures of the inside, we saw the room where marie antoinette was born, mozart had his first concert and other amazing rooms that were gorgeous.
