Freewriting
Freewriting is a great way to get started on any paper.
Begin with the basic idea or concept of what you want to write about. If you don't have a basic idea, that's ok. An idea will come to you as you freewrite.
Now, set your timer for seven minutes. Some say ten minutes is best. It's up to you. I find that the shorter amount of time doesn't allow too many educated thoughts to invade the intuitive mindset you're about to enter. This excercise is not about what's right. It's about putting your educated mind aside, giving yourself up to the universe, and allowing your cosmic AT&T line to connect with the blank page or screen in front of you.
Start your timer and write without stopping for seven minutes. Whether you believe your writing is good or bad, don’t stop. If you run out of thoughts, stay positive. Write “yes” or “a new thought will come in a moment,” or “I can do this.” Repeat until a new thought comes. It will.
You must not stop. That is the goal. You are forcing your innate intelligence to override your educated intelligence. You are turning on your creative engine by allowing your intuitive mind to take over.

The only thing I believe I would be truly an expert at, would be building my own personal computers. I have been building PCs for about 8 years. Every 2-3 years I would build a new gaming machine for my own use, as well as some computers for various friends and acquaintences. I'm not sure how to show that I am an obvious expert without throwing acronyms and words at you that would make me sound like a nerdy nerd boy, so you will just have to take my word on it.
I'd say auto body work would be mine, since i do it as a daily grind now, it was difficult at first, but once i got the hang of it, i was able to knock out work a lot faster
The name of the game is "Lazin' about". To do this, the following preparations need to be made:
1. couch needs to be pointed at T.V. and keep a phone within reach.
2. refreshments should consist of salty snacks, greasy foods and lots of beer.
3. wasting time is easiest to do when you know you have something important to do.
In order to ride a bike you would have to mount the bicycle by swinging your left or right leg over the bar in the middle of the bike. Then you put one foot on a peddle it does not matter which one. Then what you would do is push down on the peddle and it will push you forward. then yo would put your other foot on the other peddle and do the same thing. After doing this you would get into a rhythm in pedaling which is basically moving your feet around in a circle. Which will propel you forward. Depending how fast you peddle determines how fast you go.
Personally, I think I'm an expert on reading people. Just how a person acts around me or the comments that exits out of a person mouth. Tells me a lot about that person, wether their honest or a lying sack of crap. Another thing I do is when I really need some thing and I asks a person to look out for me, I then look at their reaction. Now, by their actions alone I can tell wether or not their being nice or just expecting some thing in return.
I would say mine would be installing electronics such as car stereo's or home theater systems. I have always enjoyed doing these things and now I feel as if I am very proficient and effective at this.
I am an expert at clowning around. I love to make people laugh. Please don’t give me a drink on a Friday night after work. I am an expert in making a sad person happy. I will take a negative a positive all my friends as well as my coworker tell me how funny I am. That makes me happy just to know I bring some happiness to someone’s life.
I can make cars work. Does not matter what make or model it is. if it is broke then I can make it work at least one more time. My car for example, right now it is starting to overheat while driving. I have not even looked under the hood yet and I already know what needs to be done. I need to drain the radiator fluid, flush the entire system, replace the thermostat, and wash the outside of the radiator. It just comes natural to me. My father used to have me help him change his breaks on his truck when I was 3 years old. I just got more and more into working on cars since then. Right now I own 4 cars. One I do not have to work on at all its nice and new and all that. The other three, now thats a different story. One needs an engine overhaul(the one that is overheating), one has two different knocks and has a transmission leak, The other one just needs a full tune up and a passanger side fender with a little bit of body touch-up and it will be gravy. But any way If there was one thing I would call myself an expert on, it would have to be keeping peice of crap vehicles moving down the road.
I would have to say that i am an expert in the art of scrapbook creation! Honestly, it's a seriously expensive hobby if you're 'really' devoted to it, but it's all about your creativity. It's truly an outlet for your mind to enable to you do something that truly reflects who you are. It's definitely not a short term hobby, though. Scrapbooking is more for the perfectionist, borderlined-OCD-type person. It's extremely fulfilling to transform a blank piece of cardstock into a photo-memory that can be embellished as little or as much detail as you want. Creating a memory that can be protected, cherished and shown off for years to come.
Daydreaming is my one true area of expertise. It's a ridiculously easy skill that everyone knows, but I like to think I've taken it to a whole new level. When I drive, I put my mind on auto pilot and just imagine another life I could be living. I can daydream about being rich, or being a hero, or anything I desire. I know exactly how I look and act when I'm daydreaming too. My eyes glaze over, and it's like I'm there, but not really. My body is relaxed and I'm comfortable. And it takes a few tries to wake me up. I daydream best when I'm listening to music. Somehow, music stimulates something within me--some hidden part of my subconscious that locks away everything I ever wanted to be--and brings that to life. When you daydream--although most people don't believe it--there's a process. First, you need to be somewhere where you feel at peace. For me, it's when I drive my car. Second, make sure you have a lot of time on your hands. Whether it be 5 minutes or 5 hours (seriously), it helps to assure nothing can or will interrupt you. Third, and this step is optional, get some music. I really don't know how to explain what music does, but it pushes what you try to hide out so that only you can see it. Lastly, get comfortable, because you're bound to be there a while. Then, just empty your mind and stare. You'll arrive at your inner universe in time. There are some side effects, though. When you open your eyes to reality, you're bound to be back at step one. It may seem like a waste of time--after all, you just spent hours doing nothing, staring at nothing, ignoring the people who are staring at you like you might need some Prozac--but consider it meditation. You find out a little bit more about yourself in the long, long, ever so long run.
It took many years of training but I now believe I an expert trouble shooter. trouble shooting is a skill and a talent needed to solve basic and complex problems. the basic talent required that can be molded into good trouble skills. some people have and some just don't, never will, and should stop trying.
You Stay Classy San Diego!
I had a great time being with you guys this term, Dan
I am an expert in the field of procrastination. It is something I have been working on for several years. Most of my procrastination skills come from many years of school covering boring subjects and doing busy work. When it comes to paying parking tickets my skills kick in to high gear, and I do nothing about the tickets. My weakest area of procrastination is doing the laundry, mainly because I don’t want to wear filthy clothes; however, I will leave clothes in the drier for several days and pull out some clothes from day to day to wear.
I don't believe i am an expert in anything. I have many skill that i am good at but i think their is always room for improvement.
I don't know what I am an expert at because I can do anything I set my mind to I just learned how to change spark plugs in a car I thought it was going to be hard but it wasn't. I really don't believe in someone being an expert because if there were experts in the world than how come the world is so whack. I mean it's falling apart the climate is out of control and we are having spring weather in the winter the arctic ice is melting. If they were experts our economy would be better. Gas prices are out of this world. If they were experts than they would have caught it in time and we might have had a chance to change something’s. My husband seems to think I am an expert at cleaning but I beg to differ. In this world I think that you just have to say “You are good at what you do”. Even experts make mistakes. All of this the climate and the ice melting we as a people did that. We would have known better if there were experts in those fields to tell the car manufactures to build cars differently.
