I Wanna See!

I hoped to make SXSW this year so that I could see awesome(-looking) films like this, hear good music, introduce my web project which is aaaaalmost ready for unveiling, and just enjoy what Austin has to offer. But, alas, due to the cost of SXSW, I will have to wait until this hits theaters (or video).

"...The truth is that most of us are merely working for survival. Do not feel guilty if your job is not your passion...Sing your ass off at karaoke, start writing that novel, or knit those damn mittens. It is only when we give up on our passions that we are truly defeated. Your passions may never result in an all-consuming, multimillion-dollar career, but that is not the goal. The goal is to have a balanced life."

-Excerpt from Death by PowerPoint: A Modern Office Survival Guide (Flocker, M.)

Nice

One day I said to God

"I am going to search this world over
To find the meaning of my existence
I am going to find the talent within me
And develop it to the best of my abilities
I am going to make the most of this life that I have been given
And I shall do this without infringing on anyone else's
Opportunity to do the same."

And God replied,

"I couldn’t ask for anything more."

Strange Dreams

Last night I had the oddest dream that I took a last minute vacay to Bahrain with a group of friends.  We checked in to our hotel which, while very nice inside, was right smack in the middle of an unstable and undeveloped area (note: I know that's not Bahrain in reality, but this was how it was in my dream).  We didn't bother looking at our rooms, left our luggage in the lobby, and set off exploring in a jeep or van or bus - I don't recall which.

The roads were so muddy and full of holes that we stalled and decided to hop out and walk.  As we trudged through the mud, I suddenly remembered that I had forgotten to notify my employer and take leave for the trip which lead to a major freak out and me considering flying all the way back home immediately. On the other hand, I was hesitant to leave - muddy potholes and all.  The dream ended with a situation I can only attribute to reading Black in Cairo (one of my fave blogs) and watching female reporters cover the Egypt uprising recently.  We encountered a man beating a woman with his shoe and I confronted him. The dream ended with us squaring off to fight.

Laaaaawd!  What does it all mean?!

Whatever Happened To...

The Boys (of "Dial My Heart" fame)? I found myself wondering today when I mentioned them to a colleague (don't ask). As it turns out, they found success as adults as The Suns [of Light] with half the group residing in Gambia. Here's a vid:
