Brain chatter : left, right et al

Ok. it's been a while (no reference to Staind).

I find that i blog only when i'm high. And from a recent outstanding video i watched (http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/229) i found out which part of the brain is responsible for my high-ness. You'll get the idea.

Right brain: Pink floyd, mushrooms, ocean breeze, vedic chants, art, eureka, tree-huggers, share my food..etc.
Left brain: Career, arguments, proofs, 100/100 in tests, scud missiles, i'm great, you suck, i need cash, i want food.. etc.

EACH one of us exhibit the above to varying degrees. And what's amazing is we have the power to choose what we project externally. It struck me that most of the times it's not hypocrisy, but just different brain centers being activated due to changing situations.

While the above thoughts had been vaguely floating around all the time in my mind, the video truly sealed it for me.
