Beauty is everywhere

I've found some really amazing images whilst surfing the ol' web lately.

Here's a random sampling:













Beauty is such a funny thing... It's so often longed for and yet so often ignored.

Something I've made a conscious effort to do in the last few months is to take a few moments to appreciate the beauty in something. Whether it be a photo, a cloud, a song....anything.

I've found that the realization of how beautiful life can be is a great antidote to being overly cynical and pessimistic (something I'm rather familiar with).

Perhaps these images can do the same for you?

Life has just been motoring right along...

I can't believe we're so far into the year already. I'm working so much that each month just flies righ by me.

I currently seem to have an obsession with dreadlocks. I've always found them intersting, but lately I seem to run into people with them everywhere... and I love them! It's the universe's cruel joke that I'm too bald to have them..... Maybe I can talk my lady into getting them though. mwuahahahaha

Speaking of random thoughts... I cant' remember where I came across this photo, but I love it.

This is exactly the type of thing that happens when you're bored at work (and "work" happens to involve a computer and Internet access)


It's not a lack of focus that leads me to such silly things as much as a lack of simply being challenged.

I’m not sure why it is that I crave a challenge. I mean, I’m as lazy as the next guy. I can ignore a pair of socks on the floor for a good 2 weeks before finally getting annoyed enough to pick them up. So why is it that I can’t stand it when the “slow time of year” comes around at work? I’ve gone from the kid that would only do enough homework to avoid flunking to the guy who gets annoyed when his coworkers are slacking off.

I remember the good ol’ days when I would complain about how I couldn’t understand women. Now I’m lucky if I understand myself.

Simple, but true...

I LOVE CLOUDS.

There is something magical about clouds. They're fluid and beautiful. No matter what's going on, I can always look up and get lost in them.
