My Newest Crush











His name is EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM
But I would settle for his baby brother... EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM



A New Phone

I called Telus to cancel my internet stick since I had no use for it - and I should know myself better or at least acknowledge my weakness when it comes to new techie toys.

Since I have NO control over wanting a new phone... I did exactly that - committed myself to a new phone!



I'll pick it up next week... But at least, I only had to pay 2 more dollars to get a data plan and I can keep my existing plan with all its perks... No, I'm not even succeeding in convincing myself that it was necessary - but a new toy YAY!!!!

Obsession

My obsession beyond the very need to be on a golf course is excellence.
Aristotle said: We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Aristotle was right.
If you practice what you strive to be, without the disillusions of false pretenses,
you are likely to succeed.
I'm an idealist to a fault.
With idealism comes the desire for perfection.
Perfection, in turn, is intermingled with excellence.
For some, perfection and excellence are words of fantasy.
I have been on many occasions disappointed -
By myself, for wanting more than I am capable of.
By others, for seeing they are not giving their utmost.

Fragments

In brokenness complete.


Flying Without Wings


I dream of flying, without wings, beyond the limitations of Icarus.
A wonder to marvel at the ecstacy of flight.

The Attainable

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones that you did. So throw off the bowliness. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
~Mark Twain
I dare to dream that all things are attainable.
