Fall Adventures 2012

 

On The Sunday of the fair weekend we went to the Fair .  Mr. Mattis and I he had a blast and loved the show they had with the stunt cars.

He is still talking about the one stunt the guy that was on fire.

Unfortunately I don't have a pick of it. but he loved it none the less.

He also liked the picture above the car parked in car as he called it.

It is amazing what amazes him, I enjoy living life through his eyes.  I am living my childhood again.  We try and take him different places so he understands the world around him.

we took him to Brantwood Farms he loved the hayride through the farm and he loved picking some popcorn.  We have yet to try it as he still needs to dry out.

Big Bang Theory ... The inner geek part 2

Since my first article had such an impact on the world I decided to write part 2 but where to start is the question a lot has changed since then.  Big Bang Theory has advanced to new levels in the past 3 years as well as my own life.

My Little guy is almost 3 and I see characteristics of Sheldon even in him he has own spot on the couch.  It is not the perfect wind to air ratio to positioning in the room.  My little dude is the positioning of the particular angle to the TV so he can watch his favourite TV shows or movie's.

I have began to wonder as I watch my little guy grow if Sheldon is the extreme in us all.  Is he what could happen to us all if things went to the extreme.  Then there is Raj the extreme on the dating scale where he needs a drink before he can even say hi to a girl.  Then there is Amy who I have yet to figure out she is the extreme on one hand and then on the other she is normal, or is she.

There is Penny and Bernadette the perfect yet not so perfect companion  for their boyfriends.  You then have the extreme Mother of Howard, who we can all see pieces of our own mother in caring and wanting to help but not to the extreme like her.

Back to the parallels I have been seen in life since the last 1.

People have the ability to be intelligent yet in the same breath they can be as dumb as a stump.  They do things that baffle common sense just like Sheldon, Raj, Leonard and the rest.

I saw a guy the other week that was the epitome of this he was riding a moped in shorts and sandals with a Third Reich style military helmet.  He looked so out of place it was a laugh.  Then there was the driver that missed the Tim Horton's drive through and ended up in the fence behind a tow truck.

I know the inner geek seems to be in us all even we think not it hides somewhere in us all.

I remember Ogre from revenge of the nerds who changed is ways after getting stuck on the island with the nerds and felt comfortable with them as they accepted him the way he was even though he teased them in the past.

If one can change can we all change and become a geek to some extent.  If our high-school self was to look at most of us now.  I am sure they would think we are geeks.  With the technology around us the computer the cell phone that is attached to our every being.  The little piece of technology that we cannot live without.

Just remember to some extent the characters of Big Bang make us not only laugh at them but help us to laugh at ourselves.
