Raw Emotions: Caught in a Tornado

This is a fascinating video sent to me by an anonymous reader (thank you!) showing raw emotions of fear, anger, and disgust. 

When you watch this, you can really feel how uncomfortable these guys are…

Wow!  They were lucky to survive last week’s tornado, without question.  You can see how close to death they came.

Unbelievable.

My heart is pumping just watching them.

Travis Alexander’s Last Photograph

Photos are no longer available.

When I first saw the photo of Travis Alexander in his last photographs in the shower, I felt a strong feeling that he had a sense of what was going on when this photo was taken — that he knew he was in serious trouble.  I sensed terror and fear and a sense of disbelief, like what they hell am I going to do?  I wondered when she took this photo, if she had a gun or a knife aimed or pointed at him at this point, and we see his initial reaction. Or I wonder if she was acting so deranged at this point, he knew it was a sticky situation.

Today an Eyes for Lies reader shared with me a photograph that she put into a face mirror software which splits the image of a face in half, and then mirrors it back.  She did both the left and right sides.

What it reveals is absolutely fascinating!  In the photo on the left you see sadness.  And the photo on the right you see an intensity that is gut-wrenching.  It’s like a mix of a fear and anger that one would feel if they have their back against the wall and they are cornered. As another Eyes for Lies reader said its a “fight or flight” response.  I can’t agree more.

This reader further conjectured, when we split a face in half, are we getting windows into the right and left brain?  You sure do wonder.

Thanks Eyes for Lies readers for sharing your thoughts with me and others!

Steve Harvey Full of Emotion

This is a great video where Steve Harvey gets surprised on his show.  His reaction in this video is fascinating to watch because at first you don’t know what is going on.  You can see Steve is getting overwhelmed but he is tense so you can’t help but wonder if this a positive connection or a negative one.

What is the first time you know before Steve says a word if this is a positive or negative experience for him?

Stop reading this if you want to look and come back.

Granted, the stranger in the video says, “Do you still love me baby?” so you get a huge hint there, but Steve’s reaction really makes you wonder if he feels the same way, doesn’t it?  So at what point does he confirm this is a positive experience for him?

At point thirty-three into the video, Steve turns his head and as he does there is a very slight upturn of the lips (very slight) and then five seconds later (point thirty eight), we see sadness envelope Steve in the eyes. They droop dramatically.  Then a second or two later the tears come and his eyebrows, while very bushy, go oblique.

When his friend says, “I’m waiting for my answer buddy” I’m on the tip of my toes.  What is Steve going to say?  He then lifts his eyebrows, which shows his second positive response, and third, the tone of his voice cues up positively when he says back, “Hey man”.

When Steve starts talking about his struggles, you can feel the pain in voice, can’t you?

This is a great emotional video, and a beautiful story about how one man helped out another in need and Steve never forgot that.

I have had three absolutely beautiful human beings support me in my efforts to share my abilities with others.  When I thought no one would ever see what I could do or ever believe in me, these three men did and it has been through their constant belief in me, support and encouragement that doors and opportunities have opened for me.  I saw one of them yesterday and the other back in November. One I have yet to meet, but I am looking forward to the day I get too.  These three men believe in me, give me confidence and encourage me when I need a lift and even when I don’t. Their spirits have each touched me deeply and I value them tremendously.  They have been so generous and kind to me. I will always be grateful.

My three heros are Steve, Demetri and Daren.  Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for believing in me.  Your support means the world to me, and I will never, ever forget what you three have done for me.  I only hope I can return your generous spirit back to you in other ways…

A Reader Asked: Are they really crying?

A reader on FB asked me this morning if these kids are really crying or is this an act?  The two boys just saw Disney’s Odd Life of Timothy Green, and their parents filmed their reaction.

Share your answer below and I’ll put mine there in the comment section in the coming days…
