You and me both, AG! I've kicked quite a few things now, though, so I'm confident that'll beat it as well. Even if teh gods ain't willin' an' the creek does rise, eh. {-;
In the immortal words of some TV sales-wiener, You can Do iT!
That vid did the same to me, Wren! :))) I just wanted the song incorporated somehow, so went to 'Tube Central and searched it. vois la!
Sans a healthy dose of Consumerism, that kinda thing - hekk, the entire freakin' Blogosphere! - was just not gonna ever happen. How could it? Who'd've thunk to make it or any of of its predecessor technologies possible w/o a profit motive?
And the vid shows just how merrily Life Goes On. LA!
"so that even extremism can be healthy . . . in smallish well prepared doses "
Brilliant - and the best advice I got in a while. I am cursed with the tendency to sometimes see things in black and white, and need to remind myself of the grays.
Maybe keeping an Ansel Adams, a calendar even, up in your studio as a nice reminder.
Oy! I hears ya, Adorable. I know I do it cuz I think too much 'bout things which don't need much thought. Stuff that needs action or nuttin' or to be passed over 'til I'm ready to just do it.
Good thoughts. I do believe in recycling and connecting unwanted used goods with folks who will use them.
That vid is precious. I wonder if they could use the half-dozen organic cotton terry cloth diapers I still have despite the fact that the person who wore them is now seven years old...
Consumerism is one thing It try and try again to beat!
