This is the first ride I have ridden that has made me sick. Well sober and on the first attempt. 10 beers and Kumba 6 times straight will do the same thing. Anyway this is a flight simulator at the Astronaut hall of Fame. It spins like a centrifuge at 4 g's. I think it had that affect on me because it was simulated and not the real thing. I have done those kind of g's on roller coasters and done the spins on carnival rides and such, but in those cases it was real. The wind was really in my face, I really was falling and flipping and spinning. In this case I was spinning but all I could see was a screen that showed that I wasn't spinning I was diving. The brain is a crazy thing that way it works sometimes. Otherwise the entire trip was fun, the place has grown since I went as a kid, there is a lot more to do now. With all the changes though they still believe that we successfully landed people on the moon and brought them back to earth with computers that had the power of a calculator or a cell phone maybe. crazy huh? I guess that is why Russia never made it, even though there space program was far ahead of ours.

Strange Mood
I am in a Strange mood latelly, I am torn constantly between bitterness and seeking More of God since I know I need too, I also don't seem to be able to sustain anything with Him lately. It used to be so easy. Everything is so hard now, waking up in the morning, getting up off the couch, going outside, working out. I wan't to do things, I just don't seem capable when it comes time. I let everyday waste by. All of my energy and focus ends up going to a job I hate and leaves me nothing for everything else. I want my old life back, I just don't think that is possible. Maybe even a new life that resembles my old life but only slightly different, like this time I can have beer.....
