Whole "Nutha" Direction

Wassup World?
I have been thinking about this for a long time, where I was going to take the direction of my blog because rather than using it as a personal memoir I would rather use it as a source of some sort. So let me think....

HMMMMM........

Well it makes sense that i honestly discus news reports ad upcoming/incoming news not only because I am a Journalism Major but also since I have already typed several news stories. So from here on out I will be MR. Enrique? LOL D@ RuLaH? Mr. Chambers? hmmmm I go by so many things....but I think I will use my middle name "Chambers" or Mr. Chambers because I have never used it and plus this would be a fresh start for me anyway.
Welcome Everyone to a new me...well...not new...but....YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!
O yeah, speaking of...I do have a twitter.....FOLLOW ME!

That's where I will be posting my personal, everyday happenings.

For Starters, I was just reading something on Yahoo News discussing the relationship between REM Sleep (Rapid Eye Movement and the point of sleep where dreams mostly occur) and an individuals emotions and how they are tied together. A scientist said something that stood out to me for some apparent reason and I'll put it up here for others 2 read...

"Our daily existence is largely influenced by our ability to understand our societal interactions, to understand someone else's emotional state of mind, to understand the expression on their face," says Ninad Gujar, a senior research scientist at Walker's lab and lead author of the study, which was recently submitted for publication. "These are the most fundamental processes guiding our personal and professional lives."

These findings aren't that intriguing to me because of the fact that i have believed the prior statement without help for sometime now....but do u really want to know what intrigues me? The fact that you can burn 72 Calories doing Laundry!!!!!!
