I saw this in someone else's cubicle. I found it so relevant, that I had to take a Post-It (tm) note and jot it down.

"Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams.

Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential.

Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do."

Pope John XXIII

I should be watching the debate, you know "hard work", "flip flops" and all, but this is just hilarious so I had to post it. Ironic how I can almost relate to it.

Two guys are having an instant messenger fight. (note: Quicktime movies opens, rated G, don't worry).

Overheard:

"Sometimes I see girls on the soccer team who won't even attempt to go for the ball. They stand and watch it go into the net thinking that there's no way they could save it. I've always said that no matter how impossible the shot is or how unlikely it is you could prevent it from going in, you should always go for it. I mean there have been times that I've personally gone for the ball and I thought there was nooo way in the world I could make it or save it and somehow I did. They just need to understand that its better going for it and seeing what might happen, than to have never have attempted it at all. I mean what's the point in playing?"

I had the oppertunity to play with this person in volleyball on the same team, and I was keeping his philosophy in mind, and I thought I did well. However when I was playing right-forward, the ball went so far out there, way past me, and my mind somehow didn't react. And I can still see it in my mind hitting the grass and when I turned back to the team, I heard him say to me "that's okay, you could have gone for it though".

What a simple yet brilliant philosophy for life. But sometimes philosophy in practice is much easier said, than done.

Okay, I finally put up my India pictures. Sadly they didn't come out at well as I hoped. I think maybe the film got a little bad (curse that Mumbai heat!!!). In any event I put up a portion of them on the web. There are more, but I think I've shared a good amount. Please feel free to ask me about any of them. Leave a comment if you like, but the comments are all public.

About access, if I didn't email you an password, please send me an email or just use my contact link and I'll give it to you. Sorry about locking it down like this, but I can't afford for Google Pictures to archive all of them, and personally I'd like to share with only people who I know. Thanks for bearing with me.

Ready, Set, GO!! >>>> PICTURES!!! <<<<

I was thinking about something and for some random reason typed 'india' into google. The first link was puzzling. I got the CIA - The World Factbook -- India.

One would have to wonder how that got to be the first link? :-) (Please don't take that too seriously).
