bricks and mortar idea shed is here.....1st meeting

Nic Miller Today we went to waffle king; we did this as the first meeting of the "Bricks And Morter Idea shed". This name in other words means the idea shed in the flesh, the group of "Brains"(Greg, Alex, Nic, Elliot, and Sebastian) behind the idea shed. Anyway when we got to "the king" we immediately ordered 5 platters of biscuits'n'gravy and 5 cups of coffee. Alex immediately started the meeting by dumping loads of sugar and cream into his coffee --in my opinion sugared coffee is no longer coffee but cappachino. Before we started eating we laid several ground rules in case our little circle ever turned into a mass meeting including people who wanted to do rotten to our club. Ground rule (1)meetings will be approximately 1.5 hours long (2) Elliot will be our official time keeper.The (3)rd rule was nominated by the benefactor(dad), this rule was that the senior member of the the meeting would be called "Da Boss"(4) it was at this time that I made the suggestion to give "Da Boss" Veto power over all rules if things get out of hand. This is when Alex (with a sudden surge of intellect)said that in other words we were giving dad "Carte Blanche".

We also gave "Da Boss" 2 votes in regular voting situations.(5)This rule was followed by a law that stated that when someone stated the words "I have an idea" conversation would/will cease and all meeting participants will respectfully listen to the idea. We also found out that the first time Alex wanted to play football was when he was 4 at the time dad took him to a Walhalla Razorbacks football game. Who would've thought this could've led to picking off Mr.Football of T.N. as the starting Cornerback for the Cumberland Gap Panthers 12 years later.

we then decided to write this idea down as a commercial opportunity. We then had a long discussion about the subconscious mind. Mentally chew on this, when you shoot a bow and arrow it is repetition that makes you good at it, you practice that one fluid motion of pulling the bow back and shooting. What makes you good is when the subconscious takes over, that is why it is so important to practice pulling the bowstring back the same way every time after you have done it the same way 9000000000 times it becomes subconscious you no longer have to think about exactly where the bow is aimed your subconscious does that for you, this is where imagining success comes in, if you imagine yourself successful for 5 minutes a day your subconscious will work on getting you there, granted this all goes along with prayer and hard work but it is imperitive to imagine yourself successful. So think about it you can do anything you want to within the parameters of God's will look at the prime example the tower of Babel if God had not intervened who knows how high the tower of Babel could've been built,they might have built into outer space and discovered everything we know about outer space centuries ago+think about the experience advantages these guys had,they could live to 1000 years old. It goes to show that "if you can dream it, you can do it". Finally I got this great idea if the subconscious is what gets things done we need to imagine what we want to be every night before we go to bed, our subconscious will then work it out in your dreams all night.After our brainstorming session was over (during which dad and I consumed 4-5 cups of coffee each) we had to do an old trademark thank you for a very tasty meal after asking the cashier we went behind the counter and gave the cook (his name was Johnny) a YUM!!! YUM!!! YUM!!! Lastly, on the way home dad realized he had forgotten his glasses(TO MUCH COFFEE!!!).And that wrapped up the first meeting of "The Idea Shed " which we figured out would have 780 meetings between MARCH.20.2011 and March.20.2071 (when dad turns 100)

Great posting from the guest blogger!
Your brainstorm about contemplating your idea before you fall asleep reminded me of a very similar idea that your Aunt Steffi had in the days of yore...except hers were not quite the lofty dreams that you talked about. I'm sure she would be glad to recollect for you!
I like your writing Nic, keep it up!!

Nic, you made me laugh. Great meeting. Did you all really order coffee. How old is everyone??? Isn't there a minimum drinking age?

Love this blog! It is funny. I can just picture Greg still having meetings at age 100. I will be gone before then, but I will be laughing from heaven!
