Putting Worlds On Flyers Is A Good Way To Get My Attention

Well, I said I would explain about ham radio for those of you who do not know what it is. I will start it off by explaining how I found out about the class in the first place. I hate to say it, but I have to thank Professor Skinner. She made us do a random object search for class. This did not make Meg and I happy. After all, what could we find in the EA building? I whole lot of nothing. Well, we went around to look for flyers that would catch our eye. Megan said, "Look, a world!" I immediately ran to the flyer with excitement. Who on earth would put up a flyer with a world on it? The physics club, that's who. Bless their little hearts. I read the flyer and to my delightful surprise it was an add for this class that I have been telling everyone about. Now you know the story about how I found out about this awesome class.

Now, on to my explanation on what a ham actually is. No one really knows why people started calling amateur radio operators hams, so don't ask. *nods* I know I may be somewhat all knowing, but I do not know this. Ask Kate. *giggles* She is all knowing. Basically ham operators get short wave radios and talk to other hams. It's like instant messaging; the only thing is you use a radio and you need a license to talk to other people around the world. Why would I want to do that when I have Yahoo!? Well, Yahoo! sucks on tomato soup and I do not like the banner ads. I enjoy talking to all of you on Yahoo! and I would never give it up for the world, but the challenge of learning what I think is somewhat of a dying hobby is extremely intriguing for me. Yes, I enjoy learning about new cultures and countries and this is a perfect way to learn about them. What better way to learn about others around the world? Talking to people is one of the best learning experiences. I know I say I don't care for the human race, but I have this yearning to understand them. I know I sound like I feel as if I'm not human and I may joke about it, but the fact stands that I am human. *blinks* Wow, I'm getting all philosophicalish! O_o Oh well, why stop a good thing? Anyway, I feel as if I have a good understanding of who I am, but I believe that talking to others with different beliefs and different ways of thinking will make me see myself in a whole new light. I enjoy the way I am, but I am always looking at ways to make myself a better human. I know I am sooooo not perfect and I never will be, but I hope the things I learn from these other hams will make think in new ways and learn more about myself. This is going to be quite the learning experience and I can't wait!! I believe this will be a life long hobby and I can't wait to see how I mentally grow from this.

*blink blink* Um yeah, anyway, in conclusion, a ham is a amateur radio operator who gets his own call letters and whatnot. Hams are able to talk to other people around the world without using a phone, or the Internet. Hams have been around for quite sometime and I hope to help keep this interesting hobby alive.

*wanders off to think about philosophical junk*
