We Don't Always Get The Answer We Want

 There are days where we ask a question. It might be to a parent, or sibling, or even God. We ask this question in good faith hoping to receive an answer. Usually, we have an answer in mind that is appropriate for the question asked. Sometimes we do not receive that answer but are astonished to hear a completely different answer than the one we were expecting.

As a result, we might become discouraged. Did we perhaps not ask the right question? Is it possible the hearer misheard the question. We make up all sorts of explanations in our heads as to why we didn't get the answer we most desired.

No, they didn't hear the question wrong. In fact, they heard you loud and clear. It is you who have misread the room and to whom you were asking the question. It is the only logical answer that I can come up with at this point in time.

So, we have two choices. We can either run with the answer given or complain and seek yet another answer. Well, what happens if you seek another answer and you still don't agree with it? What then? It makes you wonder at times doesn't it.

Maybe it's best to run with the answer you received in the first place, see where that takes you.

Ever Wonder

 Ever just sit and wonder about the things to wonder about? There are so many things that you can enjoy and think about or wonder about. It's just possible that you would be able to do such a thing. I'm not certain how it would go for you, as I am only a person. I don't know how you feel. So here we are, just waiting for something amazing to happen. It doesn't happen all the time unfortunately. It can be annoying at best.

Multidimensional Arrays

Ah Multidimensional Arrays. Nothing too crazy in JavaScript. Just a little bit of this and that. So typical arrays are fun and easy. You create them like so: var colors = new Array(); colors[0] = "Red"; colors[1] = "Yellow"; colors[2] = "Blue"; Well that's fine and dandy, but what if you want to associate something with each of those? For example, what if you wanted to create a menu? You'll need at minimum a link name and a target. We could do something like this: var colors = new Array(); colors[0] = new Array(); colors[0][0] = "red.htm"; colors[0][1] = "Red"; colors[1] = new Array(); colors[1][0] = "yellow.htm"; colors[1][1] = "Yellow"; colors[2] = new Array(); colors[2][0] = "blue.htm"; colors[2][1] = "Blue"; function createColors() { document.write('<ul id="colors">'); for (var i = 0; i < colors.length; i++) { var link = colors[i][0]; ...
