'Anything said, thought or visualised leaves a very strong impression on your mind and thought process.' - His Holiness Younus AlGohar
There were other monkeys which were actively participating in random brawls and fun activities while this one just looked on as if in a deep thought!... Seemed to be the wisest of them all... I really wondered what it could have possibly been thinking about!

Today's Mission 24 is Present.
Present - a gift
Present - now
An unexpected gift that reminded me to take a moment to stop and reflect on the small joys that every day brings . So often, I focus on all the small annoyances of my day, things that have happened in the past, worries about the future.
I'm also adding this to TRP; thanks to ascias for the great topic: What is your passion? Photography has truly helped me stop and see the world around me and be more present in my daily life. (Some would say verging on obsessive passion but hey, it could be worse!)

(Still haven't called AT&T Wireless... I'm going to have to sooner or later. No mobile updates unless it's from the laptop and AT&T Wi-Fi spots for now.)
Anyway, here's what I wrote down on pen and paper at work...
2-24-10 - 1046
The sun is trying to peek through...
They may try to take away my job,
They may try to take away my cell phone wireless web.
They may even try to take away my friends. (Even future friends.)
But... They cannot break my spirit,
Nor can they take away what makes me who I am....
When I'm completely broken down,
When everything I have is stripped away,
When I truly have nothing left to lose,
Then, there is nowhere to go but up.
I know I am stronger than I think I am.
Time passes on, people, places, and situations change.
Things happen which we may have little or no control over.
But every ending is merely the beginning of something else.
It could be similar, or it could be different.
Everyone and everything is in a constant state of evolution and change..
All we need to realize is that we only give up control over things if we choose to...
I choose to stand my ground, travel down that road, and see where it takes me.
My beacon will shine bright... It's my time to shine.
I will create my own singularity....
(It's happening even at this very moment...)
And now when I say a word of kindness to someone
Am I a fraud
For I was unkind to you
And now when I speak of freedom for the enslaved
Am I a fraud
For I trapped you and left you in fear
How can I ever touch the face of a child
And feel tenderness in my heart
Knowing I stole something precious from you my sweet one
I'm a fraud
I'm a fraud
Yes now I'm a fraud
And I pay the price.
I must face the police.
And now when I speak to my mother and brother
Will they know that I'm a common thief.
I've always been a keen actor
When I've been down and out
Keeping my chin up and my step in place
but now when I say a word of kindness to someone
I am afraid that I am a fraud
I can not play this part well
Shame is on my face and in my voice
He's a a fraud they will say
He is so unkind
Everyone can see through me now.
Cleopatra:
My salad days,
When I was green in judgment, cold in blood,
To say as I said then!
Antony And Cleopatra Act 1, scene 5, 67–75. " Some believe that "salad" refers to the sort of meal one was once, in less lavish (or more diet-conscious) days, forced to subsist on. Others think of their salad days as times of youthful innocence and indulgence, of brightly colored, freshly grown adventures. But the inventor of the phrase had neither romantic poverty nor flaming youth in mind.
By "salad days" Cleopatra refers to a time not when she had to eat salad, but when she was like salad. From the fifteenth century on, "salad" could mean any raw vegetable; metaphorically, the young Cleopatra was as "green" (inexperienced) and "cold" (passionless) as a piece of lettuce. At least, this is how she now explains her youthful affair with Julius Caesar. Her affair with Caesar, she insists, was never real, and her words then were meaningless. Her "judgment" (discretion, taste) and "blood" (passion) have matured; she portrays her "salad days" as a time of unreflective indulgence.
And, with that said, this is my dinner.
My first cinematic attempt.

I grew up reading the Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy. There's a bit of me that thinks I ought to put some kind of clever quote here as a tribute, but every sentence in the series is so remarkably quotable that making the decision as to which quote to use would be quite impossible.
Thanks for the laughs, Doug Adams, wherever you are.

So peaceful, so friendly, so innocent... If it weren't for the fact that they are around 175 kilograms of pure muscle, I would not think beyond the fact that they are herbivores and go out and hug him :)
I personally like this shot better than the other one, but I am happy with both. Do you have a preference?

Children need encouragement. So if a kid gets an answer right, tell him it was a lucky guess. That way, he develops a good, lucky feeling. - Jack Handey (deep thoughts)
The above picture represents what I often feel like when I'm trying to figure something out in my head. Especially when I'm having a hard time making sense of it. My mind spins round and round, churning out novel perspectives on how to make sense of a puzzling result. In sum, this picture illustrates for me that some things in life are a part of you no matter what road you take.
