42

we all already know that 42 is the
"Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything"
as Deep Thought pointed on
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

but also 42 is the number of Earth years
that i become today...

yeah! already 42 & thankfully for being alive today
and smiling

it has been a 'regular' day
i came to work and even if parties haven't been planned
i did get to eat some birthday cake
my friend Rebecca at work just came back from New York City
and she brought me a little cupcake from the infamous
Magnolia bakery in NYC
that works as my b-day cake today...



i only wish for my life to keep on being this mellow
& good, i have a semi-OK health
but i have a job, semi-OK too, but at least i design there
a lovely mother and family
two terrific furry companions
many wild birds that visit me every morning & evening
a place to practice yoga
and i live in one of the cities with best weather
in the world!

ah also, i have some white hairs already
but no plans to die my hair... not just yet



so i am lucky! and i am 42 too
Happy Birthday to me!

tv & kitchen piece

TV watching


kitchen piece

i haven't photographed much lately
lack of time and/or
the automatic focus of my dslr broke
{not that i use it all the time, yet is a bit
challenging/strange/frustrating
to work with a known broken apparatus
specially one loves so much...}
so...
uninspiring scenes
and another hundred lame excuses
i hide under my procrastinating sleeve
not to post photographs as often
as before

but the truth is...
42? well, not really
the truth is that i set for myself
higher standards, the latest photos i have on 23
are of stunning sunsets, or skies
and they are stunning not because of my photos
but because they were, regardless of who photographed
so now i feel sort of bad to post silly photos
also the standards of the site have become so high!
almost every photograph is a piece of art
& i feel silly to post less than very good photos...
so, the material i have these days, is from indoor photos
from my dirty kitchen, or my swollen feet
or of cats asleep, and home messes

i haven't been to walk on the beach or the park
or anywhere too interesting for that matter
so i just don't post, until tonight when i thought
enough!!! after all i started posting randomly
unimportant and not very stunning pictures
and i had so much fun with it!
nobody commented on them, so maybe i had more
freedom to post anything no matter
how stupid, blurry, or with low quality it was

so tonight here, not on 23, sadly
and 'cause i don't have 4 photos in a row
as i've been posting always on 23
always at least 4 photos at the time
since the beginning of my posting there
in late 2005
(a bit, or a lot of an obsessive rule
i have NO plans to change...)
therefore gladly here in this ranting
stupidity chronographed
one bad moody picture
or two, from my home scenes
uncompromisingly bad
unresistingly blurry
bad-lighted orange
here we go...
as posted above
{with a very Nike attitude
of just do it...}

ah!! the pleasure, of not having to please no-one!
specially/mainly one-self...
