Signature Tune
I’ve told you of my humble beginnings and my switch to Paint.NET which many do not seem to have realized yet and of my interest in the brain. I think I mentioned, too, my frustration of not being able to reach those most in need of acquiring some sort of computer skills and a computer to help them cope with the depression the isolation of old age often brings.
This brought about a switch to encouraging all age groups to take an interest in their brain health and those factors which could help prevent dementia, at best, or, at least, hopefully delay it.
Along the way I decided that many, including myself, needed more computer knowledge, and I also tried to encourage an interest in computer art produced by others.
I regarded my own efforts as more a challenge for the mind in relation to computers and the many variables which could be produced with just a simple art program such as the two I currently use, although MS Paint now receives scant attention.
I considered the brain and drugs, marijuana and the effects on the brain which many still deny, not wanting to be told something they don’t wish to know.
I started other blogs with other attentions, none of which I regard as particularly successful, but they do help towards the internet connection, although just how long I can continue or would want to continue is still debatable.
I gave information about blogging, which seems to encourage a lot of response and took a lot of work finding the necessary material and I am forced to wonder for whose benefit.
Needless to say, other than in areas which did interest me, I paid scant attention to the recommendations, not wishing to spend even more of my valuable time.
Looking back over old posts I see I even had a look at Internet standards, all the time producing my little art designs and to do so did challenge my brain considerably.
Through it all I do feel my visual memory has improved dramatically, and ironically my sense of direction, the first was always good, the second, generally very bad despite my acknowledged well above average intelligence.
You would think that very intelligence would have kept me away from blogging altogether, but apparently not.
I often have fun with myself even though others did not want to, nor knew how to, play.
My supporters came and went like a tidal flow, but I have learned to live with that, many of them have now moved on, smart cookies.
We got onto children and stress and the plasticity of the brain, previously thought to have not survived long past childhood but, in keeping with my own ideas, not discerned from anyone else other than myself, which they now acknowledge can last throughout life, all it needs is opportunity, much the same as all of us.
Nutrition, sleep and general health continued to be important and I am now tempted to look back over some of my old blogs, which I had forgotten about which do, in fact, look very interesting.
I think that is enough for to-day and next time I’ll tell you about some of my most successful posts, it’s interesting to see just how much some of these things interest others.
So I leave you with part 4 and eventually I’ll get around to part 5.
