One must desire something to be alive - Margaret Deland


Manic Monday

If you knew that every minute of the next 24 hours of your life would be recorded on camera is there anything you would change about your habits?
I don’t think I’d change much of anything. I live a fairly transparent life. I try to be honest about who I am and what I believe. I am who I am, take it or leave it. I doubt I’d be recorded doing anything that would be a surprise to regular readers!

If you could take a one-month trip to any single destination in the world and money is not a consideration, where would you go?
Well this one is easy since I just blogged about 13 things I want to do before I die. A trip to Scotland and Ireland for a motorcycle tour was #1 on the list and all the better if money isn’t a worry! Flickr friend Ruby rides and shoots photos of Scotland and I’d dearly love to ride to see some of the places she’s captured for myself.

What is the best example of “perfection” that you can think of?
This is a tough one. Honestly I have a issue with the very concept of perfection. It’s been so bent and twisted in our society. People are sold a bill of goods that they need to be “perfect”… whatever that means. The right car, the right clothes, the right house, the right physical features, the right beliefs. For me, the only perfection worth pursuing is reaching a place where YOU are happy with yourself. And that’s hard enough.

(The end of this song get’s a little strange, and hard to understand… lyrics here for the curious!)

    I’m with you… perfection is subjective, and not worth my focus… though… I do tend to think my kitties are perfect creations. ;)

    Yeah, I’m with Shephard, it’s all subjective. I do think that all baby animals are perfect. And sunrises and sunsets.

    To me it’s the imperfections that create perfect moments….Ohh–and snowcones are perfect too.

  4. Marianna Says:

    Perfection is over-rated, if you think about it. Once you acheive it, what do you have to look forward to? So I say, let me have flaws! Gives me something to do!

    Marianna said it…once you achieve it, where do you go from there?

    Baby animals…definitely perfect. ;)

    Some of the best and funniest times in my life were spent because of something so NOT perfect, you know? I wouldn’t trade that for anything :)

    Your answer to perfection WAS PERFECTION! Maybe I should look into this monday meme. I think I said that last week too. I like this.

    Perfect is such a tricky word. I don’t really buy into the concept, but then again anything and everything could be perfect in an imperfect way. Complex…

    Scotland sounds fantastic. Imagine the photo ops!
