A Moment in Life

                               Close your eyes for a few minutes. I want you to take a few deep breaths and, in those breaths, I want you to reach inside and remember a memory from a childhood vacation. Maybe a beach or a peaceful camping trip. Then I want you to think about what kind of things remind you of those memories: the food you eat, the smell of your clothes, a candle, anything. Lastly, think of eating a really cold icicle drop on that trip. What was your experience? What was your feeling of thought? Did it engage your senses? What about opening the packaging of the drops.  The tingle of sensation felt from your lower vertebrae to the tip of your brain. The crinkles of the packaging perking your ears to the mystery of flavor and excitement that await. Who knew plastic sounds could bring such satisfaction? With the whole 6.25-ounce bag of coolness displayed on your hand,  you can almost hea...

                                              A new blog post on a current obsession of mine: MOVIES. Especially Inception. Have you seen it? Then you are likely aware of the buzz it is creating from critics, in a good way. Inception being a Christopher Nolan movie, we know right off the bat that it will be intricate and a mystery. His movies never remain straightforward, and it can be hard to understand what the movie is portraying. To him, it is all about the non-linear storyline, to engage the audience to create an ending themselves or to make them think critically and apply that to the movie.  Now that we know a little more about Nolan's movie-making history, we can dive right into Inception. Being a sci-fi drama, the movie introduces a professional thief who steals the information of others by insinuating himself into the subconscious mind. Given a chanc...

It may or may not come as a surprise to you that you and I are very similar. Blogs; why do people read them? I wonder to myself when given my first assignment. Through consistent studying and reading, I have learned many amazing things about blogs. They can apply the art of storytelling of one journey through life, they can exercise a beneficial lesson to your financial questions, and they can even show you how to be successful in life.  Like you, I question at first why blogs were even a thing or the surprise that they were still around. I have never had an interest, until now. I have learned that blogs bring you out of your comfort zone and make you face the real world. How will you address a topic? How will you accommodate your readers? What if no one likes my blog? All silly thoughts that were simply wiped away after educating myself. Blogs provide skills with communication, gaining insight about your audience, establishing yourself as a leader, and even opportunities to create...

A little about me :)  Hi everyone, I'm Pasyn! I am not sure how my parents came up with my name but, they always told me they were hiking in the rainforest and found a rare species of monkeys, and the natives of Brazil called them macaco Louco, meaning crazy monkey, and one of the monkeys they named was Pasyn. That story is made up, but it is a pretty fun story I like to tell.  The Monkeys   You can find me anywhere outside, I love the outdoors, and I love to travel. My goal in life is to visit every country in the world and learn about their culture and land. I also have many hobbies in life. I love trying out new things all the time. My favorites are painting, hiking, and most importantly eating! I love eating all kinds of different foods, and I am not afraid to add a little spice to them.  Though being a lover of all things, some things irritate me and get under my skin, like people chewing with their mouth full, or rudely interrupting people when they are having ...
