Decided to change scenery for my dress series....probably my last one for a couple of days...at least until i get my hands on my remote. This running around with only 12 seconds is wrapping a noose around my creativity.

The beauty of the lotus is multidimensional - its art, science, and soul all coexist to provide overall good karma.
To keep the body in good health is a duty, for otherwise we shall not be able to trim the lamp of wisdom, and keep our mind strong and clear. Water surrounds the lotus flower, but does not wet its petals.
~ Buddha
Lunch with a colleague today and though the conversation was primarily non-work in orientation, there were a few stray mentions of what the new school year will bring. Such talk led to new energy and ideas with a focus on creativity and innovation....not atypical for the beginning of fall semester. Though this lotus will have wilted by then, I hope this photo will keep the enthusiasm alive as the 'reality' sets in!! Naples Botanical Garden, Naples, FL
there is a boy in my dreammms hehe , lights fell , thats why that one is blurry
"I see thy love in the distance
breathless gasping for air, for in thy dreams you were there
awakening to the bleakness in my room
as my eyes begin to blear reality sets and starts the fear
for do dreams come true or do I die alone
waiting like the petals of a wilting flower fall off
until there is non and the once beautiful flowers dies naked
with no one to clothe it"
Yes, reality is just beginning to set in. I've made it alive through my first year of middle school. Hurray for me. This calls for some celebration.
This goes along with what I said before about not being able to sit in my car without thinking about everything that happened there. I can't do anything without thinking about you, really. It's always been that way. It may sound a bit extreme to label it as nostalgia, as it really wasn't that long ago, but I don't ever see myself not getting shivers thinking about our first kiss. My daily routine will always be interrupted by the thought of that night in August. Or a few weeks into September, the first time the weather was starting to get a little cooler and we were able to roll down the windows and just be together for a few hours. The day you got your license when I went to your house for the first time and we talked to your parents for hours. Your mom whipped out the baby albums and I knew we were in this for the long haul. Turns out I was wrong about a lot of things, and the more the reality sets in and the days go by and the less we talk I feel like I'm living those wrongs over and over and over again. Those are the things that keep me up at night. That's why I dwell the way I do. I'm sorry if that bothers you
Among the 337 shots that day, this is by far my favorite. Love the contrast of the messy kitchen and dressed up (and somewhat messed up) wedding couple.
1989 911 Carrera 3.2
From Werks Reunion:
Color: Guards Red
From: Walnut Creek
A poster of this 911 Carrera hung in my bedroom while growing up. It was my dream to be able to acquire this Porsche one day. Life's reality set in and paying for my education, marriage, kids, their education put my dreams on the back burner. Not until all three kids graduated and move out of the house that I was able to contemplate the purchase this 911. In 2017 I was able to locate this very car in Dallas, Texas. This car was well loved and taken care of. I am currently the steward of this classic 911 which will later be passed on to my youngest son who will be the next steward.

Had a blast with our auto-enthusiast friend and neighbor, Fred, at Monterey Car Week 2022.
through a nightmare that never ends
And when I try to face it when I wake up, I hate the way reality sets in,
God I wish you could hold me, through the seven days of lonely.
Cabaret, More details on Wcities.com. An undeniable classic, this wrenching, spectacular, and riveting musical follows the events surrounding an underground night club in Berlin during the dawn of the Third Reich. The show glimpses behind the scenes at petulant diva Sally Bowles, as she flirts, fights and dreams her way through life as a struggling performer. The grim historical backdrop is reflected through the seedy Kit Kat Klub, as its emcee and Sally bombard the audience with delicious musical numbers done in classically bawdy cabaret-style. Intense political pressures mount over the course of the show as tragic and somber realities set in. As memorable and stirring today as it was in its premiere in 1966, with music by the incomparable John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb, it is an unmissable show for devotees of the stage.
My heart breaks for her as she opens up to let me in.
One foot after the other I step into her soul.
My thoughts echo as I begin to connect with her sorrows.
"Stop," catches her attention as I start to reason with her. "Do not give yourself to this man."
Confusion fills her as she wakes to catch my gaze. "If your love, your life mean so little to you that you can just give it away, why should it mean any more to him?" I hear these words and reality sets in.
I have met this woman in love. Alienated, starved, forgotten by love. I have seen into her eyes, felt her heartache, and visited her soul.
This muse whose sorrow connects so genuinely with mine... is ME!
I have given my love to a man who has never asked nor has he ever cared for it.
I have believed and made true all lies. I have accepted inferiority, for how can he value me more than I value myself?

Muffet Moore is the 12th Great Granddaughter of Sir Thomas Moore through his "only" son Sir John Moore and his Wife Grace Cromwell and the faternial twin sister of Nicolette. Muffet is currently undercover helping investigate the Milliford University that has been accused by the UN for violating human rights as it allows admission for students who cant afford tution as long as they are slaves to the rich while studying Criminal Law. She has hopes of working in the sex Crimes unit in London. She is also engaged to Wed Henry XII. She is very perky and thinks this whole mess is a joke, but when reality sets in she will be supportive of her fiancee.

This picture is here to serve to remind me of one of my most haunting experiences... Nazli was so happy and honored that we had come all the way to her country. When i saw her come to meet us at a restaurant I immediately jumped up with my arms open to give her a big hug..and she got this look of terror in her eyes... NO NO ED YOU CANNOT TOUCH ME!!! she yelled. For a second i forgot where we were. Men are not allowed to touch women in Iran.... It started a three day depression for me... very hard to come out of...
It all looks so perfect .... and then reality sets in:
those rainspots on the chrome are the same as on any other car ...
She's posing well here but I think it's only a few more minutes until a few tears flow as reality sets in, no longer a student but now a graduate!
Apparently I took this shot because there was some pro stuff happening. But I also remember that the Coppi guys were riding at relaxed recovery pace and chatting, while I was struggling to keep up. Of course at this point I was sitting straight up and shooting pictures, but harsh reality set in when I tried to keep on their wheels.
It's days like this I feel like Bassons in the 99 Tour.

I used to have this briefcase. I bought it to impress people and to
protect my laptop because it was cool.
Then reality set in. It will only hold the laptop, brick and a few
other things. There just is not enough space for me. I sold it.
Originally I had this idea that I would create an army of consultants
that would show up in suit and tie with these briefcases, just to
impress everyone. It is the same idea that I bought a Mercedes and a
big house, fancy suits and expensive shoes.
The truth is this. look presentable and be yourself. If you know your
stuff it does not really matter what you wear. I dress in Golf shirts,
or blue button down shirts and black pants, shoes and socks.
Don't fall into the trap of expensive things just for show. It does
not work and usually backfires on you.
While wandering the back streets of old Havana I saw this car and took a shot. Just after I did the lady owner came out and asked me if I wanted to buy it. I told her I lived in London but she said "no problem, I'll arrange the shipping". For a moment I could see myself cruising the high streets of London with my elbow out the window while puffing a large Cohiba. But then reality set in so I gave her a couple of pesos for letting me photograph her beautiful car and we both went quickly on our way.
I thought about giving away a free trip to Paris to the first person to correctly identify this image. However, I quickly changed my mind when reality set in, plus the photo seemed to take on a whole new dimension before my very eyes during the uploading process.

So I bought a used bike this winter down in North Carolina for a song. I've ridden it several times after work up in the mountains and have gotten quite the workout, but lately I've taken more to running and playing volleyball with co-workers while I've been down there. I had been storing it in a co-worker's garage but now that he's moving away I had to do something with the bike. So I shipped it up here to Chicago where I will definitely get more use out of it. Besides I won't be spending my weekdays down in NC forever.
Anyway, the bike arrived Monday night by UPS and this afternoon after work I removed it from the box.
This is when reality sets in.
Box-set humour and a bit of science. Much fun to be had. Thanks to those concerned. (And I don't mean Amazon.co.uk)
I think these two are both young and old souls. The sleek and yet wild looking Baby and the eternal youth of Annie (Annies). The could even be muses in the gueise of ancient Cats living on the edge on reality set to guide the humans to on their way though this world. Either way, these two are my most favorited humdurmus Kats =^.^=
Reality set in today that my parents will be out of this house Friday. We've had a lot of good memories here....I think I am suddenly overwhelmed, and I have been packing for them for 2 weeks.
Over the years, as our incomes increased, Tom & I got to the point where we were giving each other pretty nice gifts...sometimes one big thing, sometimes a bunch of smaller items. It was never lavish, but we'd gotten to the point that I suppose most middle-income, middle-aged people get. More important, the gifts showed some care and thought. I think I did especially well, mostly because I'd start accumulating stuff by mid-summer, whenever I saw something I thought he'd like. He was more likely to wait until November, then start to panic, though he usually came up with something great.
This is the 3rd Xmas since we split up, though the first one was right afterwards, so it's really the second one since the reality set in. I've continued to get him the kinds of things I would've gotten him before...after all, we're still best friends, and neither of us are dating anyone else. This year, I got him a really nice, handwoven Indian rug--he's a rug nut, and he loves that color. I was really excited when I found it, since I thought he'd really like it.
My gift was a couple of bars of a soap that I stopped using 10 years ago, and two cute--but minor--flea market items. I like them, but it's the kind of thing that would've been a "side dish" in years past.
I'm not complaining...but it was one of those moments when I felt the loss of what we once had, and the degree to which he's "moved on" more than I have.
Ah well.
This was my era. I have fond memories of watching Sesame Street. I wish life was that simple and optimisitc again. Alas, the adult in my takes over and reality sets in.
The photo for today really isn't a reflection of my day, just thought it was a cool photo.
I question the person I've become lately, I question my actions, words, and state of mind. When I am with the right people, I wonder why I am so unhappy with my life, then again the hapiness fades when reality sets in. I wonder why some people have it so easy, while others struggle. Then again I am probably the last person who should complain about their life, though I believe my problems are legit and my actions justify it.
I am looking foreward to Friday, going to have a Panic themed photoshoot with Karen :) However I am looking foreward to Thursday as well, I, and maybe my friend Sarah, will meet up with my long-time friend Ryan and chill. I saw him today as a spontaious plan.
Honestly, I feel I am getting better but also getting worse? That makes so little sense, I know T_T. I'm going to sleep, g'night folks.
