Invisible Voice

I have been reading everyone's blogs for awhile now and I have started to realize more than ever an interesting thing that I do. In fact, I am sure this is nothing new to anyone and others may even do the same thing. I couldn't help but notice recently that whenever I am reading someones writings I actually hear their voice when I read it. For example, if it's Dave Harders blog I'm reading, I hear his voice in my head saying the words not my own. It's weird but I do this for eveyone's blog. It's amazing to me how I am so intune to each and everyones voice and that they are all so individually unique or different much like a finger print. I can't help the voice I hear even if I try to hear my own voice. The writters voice will always take precedence over my own voice. It's just amazing to me that in the silence of reading or thinking that I can hear everyone so loud and clear. It's like that saying,"If a tree fall in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound?" Well to me it does because I have heard what a tree would sound like if it fell and I would apply that to that event. Furthermore, this also works with books on me. If I went and read any Lord of the Rings Books now I probrably couldn't help but hear Elija Woods voice as Frodo or Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn Strider. It's a part of me that's so intune to a voice that it will stay with me where it applies.

Now you may be asking, "What about the people's voices you haven't heard?"

I have put this one to the test before. I have read other peoples blogs or writtings or books and I heard a totally separate voice that I haven't heard. It's just bizzar to me that I will put a random voice to the words. Then I go and actually meet the person or hear the person on t.v. for the book, and I find I am way off sometimes and sometimes I am very close on others. It's a strange thing to experience. Then I got to thinking about the Bible and the different people in it. When I read this I have put different voices in my head that apply to the person that is talking. I'm sure we all do this but I wonder just how off I am with some of the voices. A voice is a very important thing because it gives us recognition of someone or something even when they are not there and we can't see them. So I am left to wonder at times, is the voice in my head of Jesus when he speaks in the bible really accurate at all. Every time I read his teachings I hear the same voice. I couldn't really describe the tonality to you because it's hard. I would be saying something like:"well it's a manly voice and it's sort of soft with a bit of low end to it etc." That doesn't really help a whole lot for someone who is trying to understand how I hear the tonality of his voice It would even be hard to describe a persons voice that I have heard like Dave Harders to someone who hasn't heard it for themselves and really get accross to that person what it really sound like. I just wonder how off or maybey how close or even how bias it may be when it comes to the tonality of the voice of Jesus or God or Moses or Goliath or David's or anyone from any book. I wonder how a person of a different culture may hear the voice. For example, they may hear the voice in Hispanic sounding voice or a Russian type voice or even an ebonics or asian or greek or Irish or Italian or whatever style of tonality because they all have a certain timber or tamber to the sound. Much like one accoustic guitar will sound different than the next.

Anyway that's all I got for this log.

Oh, one last thing because I have to ask you. Did you hear my voice as you were reading this?

Olympics

I am pretty excited about the Olympics this year. It starts this Friday and I will probrably be glued to the T.V. when it is on. I love watching all the events and seeing competition and rivals go at it. I especially enjoy the bobsledding, downhill skiing, speed skating, snowboarding and Hockey events. So pretty much anything dealing with speed or lots of airtime. I just hope it's not on at a weird time of day where I can't watch the stuff since its over in Italy. I also look forward to the Winter Olympics because I know in the same year the World Cup is happening and it's a double treat. With events like this the Super Bowl means little to my entertainment value. Question: What events if any do you like to watch in the Olympics?
