Memory Pegs

Memory Pegs is a good thing to use with the memory palace. Pegs are similar to a memory palace but instead you use numbers for example:

1-candle    
2-swan
3-love heat/ lips
4- a sail boat
5- Captains Hook
6- Golf sticks
7- Cliff
8- snowman
9- ballon
10- Dinner plate

This skill isn't hard to develop all you have to do is think of something that relates to the number, like if you need to remember a list of groceries, just match them with the numbers like sail boat and a packet of mnm's, imagine a small sail boat coming from an island far away and they are delivering little mnm's from a big mnm shaped factory and the person shipping it is a oompa loompa who hates chocolate. See its not too hard relating things to numbers are the easy bit but trying to make a very strange image is the hard bit because if you can't think of something strange enough then it wont be as effective.

Hope you enjoy, Ray~

Does Apple hate me or am I just clumsy Today?

Ahh todays been pretty Bad from the start of the day, In the morning walked down the stairs then tripped over a toy car, Luckily it wasnt a bad fall.. then later on I was checking on some blogs when i flicked the page to apple site for new updates I accidently knocked down my ipod Now the Screen Cracked.... I thought a shock resistance case will do the work.. Went on ebay to find a new screen but it costs like $45 for a good one, and I have no idea how to change it, Checked youtube but its too complicated..

I hate days like this..Ray~

Memory Palace

Has anyone heard of a Memory Palace? Patrick Jane from Mentalist mentions it a lot, a memory palace is a place where you can remember anything you want. To activate your memory palace :

1 - Think of a place you remember every aspect of it either the house your living in now, a jogging route you always take or even the way home from school.

2 -  With your memory palace, all you need to do now is to remember it off by heart, every scratch you see, objects that you can see must be remembered or else it wont be effective.

3 - Once you've constructed your memory palace start to connect things from memory palace to things you need to remember for example my memory palace is my house, If my speech includes a rotted handle or a hold in the door, I will walk in my memory palace and look at the door every aspect will be related to my speech.

4 - You must be creative with your memory palace to make it more affective, for example The first thing on my grocery list is an egg, I would picture it as my front door with a black chicken laying easter eggs on my handle, every egg will burn a hole when it hits the ground. This is effective it gives me a picture of it.

5 - Once you got these steps down and know our memory palace well you can image yourself walking around your memory palace, you can now mentally remember anything, The more you practise the better you get.

Thank you guys for your time hope you Enjoy Ray~

Best Bubble gum


Hubba Bubba, this was like the best bubble gum I had when I was a kid. When we go shops or a gas station I'd beg my mum to buy me one of these. Hubba Bubba was soft and chewy, filled with mouth watering flavours, with this you can blow the biggest bubble with ease. :) 'Blowing Bubbles, No Trouble' with Hubba Bubba

Enjoy Ray ~

Before I go i want you to watch this clip based on the game Angry Birds. The movie is like a real life game destroying the buildings.

Instead of being humans and fighting aliens, this game is the other way around where you are the alien and you have crash landed on the planet, Earth. A little girl finds you and takes you home to his brother then they start to pick apples for you and you seem to enjoy it. This is one of the most emotionally charged games, I have ever played

Hope you enjoy, Ray

Eye Movements that tell a lie


Hey guys I was curious about people lying so I browsed sites etc and i found this interesting and would like to share with you, hope you enjoy.

In TV shows a detective Knows if a person is being untruthful simply because they looked to the left or right while making a statement.
In reality, It would be stupid without further investigation... but the technique does have some merit.
VC - Visually constructed image, this means if you ask someone to imagine a purple Buffalo because they are thinking about the statement and trying to imagine it at the same time.
VR - Visually remembered image, if you ask someone what was the first colour car they had, this would be the direction they look.
AC - Auditory constructed If you ask someone to construct a high pitch noise they will look at this direction because they are making a sound they have never heard in their head before.
AR - Auditory remembered, If you ask a kid what sound was your mothers voice this would be the direction their eyes move while they try to remember
F - Feelings, If you ask someone if they remember the smell of a camp fire their eyes would look down as they recall the smell and the community
Ai - This is the direction for someone to be talking to themselves
For those who doesn't know, Have fun.

Wind in my face :)
