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.
Growing up in the 1960's was awesome! Many a boy had a dream of growing up and being an astronaut. I had posters all over my wall's from our vacations to NASA. Well, as I grew older reality set in and I was no math major I was a salesman. Though I enjoyed sales and the interaction with people I still was not doing what I really wanted to do and that was drive. I got to a point where I figured if it's ever going to happen now is the time. 19 years later I'll never look back. There are times though that I think in my next life I hope Gods gives me a mind geared towards math and science LOL!
It's been a while since I made Explore! Made my day!

Today.........I was inspired by a beautiful man by the name of Chris Frei. I haven't completely/extensively figured out exactly what he has inspired me to do, but I just know that his willingness to be open, honest, blunt (about himself), and vulnerable is simply inspirational to me! (((Here is a link to Chris' photostream: www.flickr.com/photos/32314181@N06/ )))
Chris SUCCESSFULLY completed a "365" project where every single day for a year he created a self portrait and posted it on Flickr. He did it come rain, shine, sleet, snow.......or death as he lost his dear Sister in April.
Now, I thought about doing my own 365 project, but quickly reality set in and reminded me that at this point that is not feasible...AT ALL. So instead I just decided to do a single quick self portrait to portray (to the best of my ability) how I felt about me today. Today I feel unattractive, and I don't want to be seen. I feel like I wish I could disappear into thin air. Their is not anything I like about me today.
The fact that my camera focused wrong was an added bonus because it just fits so well.
Anywho, thank you oh so much Chris!

College Project - My Miniature reality idea, 'the innocence of toys'. Simulating a lorry crash. We made the 'explosion' from the heads off matches and the background was printed images. The floor/road being a baking tray.
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.
i pulled over on the side of the road this morning....took this and thought, "wow, what a great place to grow old. turn the barn into a studio, for painting and playing my guitar." then as it does, reality set in and i thought, "damn, that's a lot of grass to mow.".....i guess i'll get some goats.
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.

We lost the game 56-31. Which is kind of sad, because we actually started out the game fairly well. Vanderbilt football is Vanderbilt football though, and reality set in the second quarter, and we proceeded to fumble over and over again and fail on defense.. over and over again.
If you want to see the dirt flying, you should see it here.

Yes that is me looking in disbelief. The first scoop. the reality sets in. Our school maintenance crew came through big time. Yes I'am on the A-list now that I know the White House is participating with local students in Washington. They will be helping the Obama's with their kitchen garden which will be 1100 sq. ft. It was last Week on 60 minutes that Leslie Stahl interviewed Alice Waters. She is my hero. and guru. She has supported childrens gardens for years. She started and supported the slow food movement. Last but not least she has been trying to get the White House for ten years to start a garden. IT HAS HAPPENED! Yeah

Waiting for Nova to finish her kidney treatment at the vet's office today briefly reminded me of the times I'd take my Grandmother to her doctor appointments. Sometimes it would be for chemotherapy, and other times it would be just a regular check-up.
Remembering those times made me realize it doesn't matter if it's a doctor for humans or a veterinarian's office--you are still waiting in that tiny room for your loved one to come out with a sliver of hope that they will walk out of that office fresh and new, almost as if it was the first day they were born.
Reality sets in when you see your pale and fragile Grandmother being pushed out in a wheelchair and you quickly greet her with a walker, or in today's case, you see my underweight dog Nova slightly limping toward you, still wagging her tail nonetheless, but missing that little shine in her eyes that she once had.
It goes to show how dearly we want to hold onto the beautiful things in life. I think it's important that we do, because without those little glimmers of hope and memories of happiness, we wouldn't have much to live for.
Sometimes in life,,, Thing come so close your can touch them,,,But then reality sets in and you come to realize they are only " Pipe Dreams "
After the previous photo, we decided that part of the couch had to go. It left us feeling like we had to have mandatory sitting time each day in order to justify having a couch approximately the size of a small airplane landing strip.
So the part under the window went, and Jesse is cutting out the leather panels in this picture. This couch section was in mediocre condition anyway, so we decided to toss it out but save the leather!
Young love can be a very wonderful experience. Boy meets girl, falls in love, and realizes he wants to spend his whole life with that person. Everything feels so right. After the initial romance though, reality sets in. Family obligations, or sometimes our jobs, requires us to be away from our loved one. Parting is such sweet sorrow but there are times when we have no choice. However, it does not mean that we cannot keep in touch. Technology has made the world a much smaller place. We can still show our love to our partner through a phone call, a text message, or even through video chat. But there is still no better way to show our love than a bouquet of flowers. Flowers that your partner can hold and smell shows you really care. No amount of technology can substitute for this old-fashioned demonstration of affection. Love is showing you care through your words and actions in spite of distance.

Our little Price Puppy is 12 - 14 weeks old and mostly Boxer. He was abandoned. Probably another tiny puppy who outgrew the innocent sleepy stage and become a playful, chewing teenager. The novelty wore off and the reality set in. Some people just want to be entertained by their puppies and don't really get to know the wonders of teaching and learning together. Well, anyway, this little guy was so upset by his experience that he shook in fear when we were taking his photos. We took two and quit. It was just too stressful. Even though he is a puppy, we think he should have a quiet, mild-mannered adopter with a soft voice and a gentle touch. He'll be ready for romping with children in a few months, but for now, he needs reassauring more than fun.
