Moni's Musings

Another good quote...

"Modern life is remarkable, but we’re still human beings with basic human needs. We need real community. We need satisfying and compelling work. We need health, play, love, and companionship. A century of remarkable technological advances can’t undo the millions of years of evolution that have made us who we are, and to pretend otherwise is to do ourselves a huge disservice." - Moby, musician.

I think I need to remember this. Sometimes I get so caught up in all the techie things that I forget to live "off-line". (As I say this, I'm surfing the internet and watching TV, alone. - I know, I'm a contradiction, but at least I'm thinking about the situation, right?)

So I'm surfing the net while watching episodes of General Hospital that I've recorded on the Replay TV. I keep finding these neat sites... the first I found is: Secret Agent Josephine . She's this really talented freelance artist, with links to all kinds of cool sites. One of the first I found of her site is Illustration Friday. It reminds me of a website that I always see digi scrappers talking about, Self-Portrait Tuesday. This week's theme for Illustration Friday (well I guess it is the theme for this past week) is cats. I'm going to work on a scrapbook page of my two favorite kitties, Jasper & Jasmine.

One last thought for the night: "Your goals, minus your doubts, equal your reality"- Ralph Marston

I was remarking on the same thought of community the other day Monica. As technology continues to play increasing roles in our lives, it still cannot replace the physical interactions we need everyday. My wife "reminds" me of that everyday when I sit down to check my subscriptions.

I really enjoyed your Ralp Marston quote. I have a quote that was given to me in paperweight form (yeah, kind of cheesy)when I graduated from college. "Shoot for the moon; even if you miss you'll stind end up among the stars." Not sure who said it, but it's nice to shoot for the moon sometimes.
