Toastmaster meeting at Ohio Room

Its 4 minutes past nine and I am in Faner Hall updating this blog. We had another good toastmasters meeting tonight. Joe was the toastmaster. Kelly was table topics master, Kyriakos was the grammarian, Paul was general evaluator, Jason did a speech, Jay was the timer and I gave a feedback on Jason's speech. The theme was dreams. Joe made some comments about dreams like"Vision without action is daydreaming and action without vision is nightmare". I was asked to speak about Obama's recent fiasco. I expressed my ignorance about current state of affairs but reaffirmed that why I think it shouldn't matter because he is intelligent and can steer the country and such fiascoes are part of any decision making. Kelly did a good job with some very good questions which did caught off guard many of us. She asked one person which celebrity they adore. Kyriakos was the grammarian and his astute commentary on days grammar usage and tracking of ah, um and filler words was praiseworthy. Jason's speech was titled conformity and non conformity. His speech was impromptu and he divided into 3 parts Music, Relationship and Society. How we tend to blend in to or at the other extreme become rebel. It was a great speech and I enjoyed giving him feedback. Joe was brimming with ideas tonight and one was to leave old toastmaster's magazine at doctor's or barber's place with the address and meeting time of our toastmasters club. Other was to have bowling nights after the meeting. Jay as usual was our timer and his timing report ended another productive toastmaster meeting.
