.Free Spirit.



Some people are just naturally born with the talent/trait to bring happiness to others by the simplest of means. I find myself fascinated and drawn to such people. Personally, I think it already is pretty hard to bring about happiness in such a hectic world so I tend to treasure these people the most. Such a thing is rare for me so it's like a breath of fresh air whenever I meet them. I strive to become such a person...

Found



I'm pretty fond of park benches that have plaques on them. Sometimes the person who funded or donated money to have these plaques embedded on these benches have something quite profound to say. I think I found peace when I took this...

Perfection



Perfection can be made of the simplest things sometimes. A neat and tidy set of books that look like they've been well preserved upon a nicely made bookshelf and you have yourself something perfect.

Please, have a seat.



I seem to find myself being at Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles alot it seems. Every time I'm there, I always find something new and cool to take a picture of. I think this is my second time taking a photo of one of the many cool chairs but this second time, I think, is the best.

Some of my friends think that this photo would look better if someone was actually sitting down on it but I beg to differ.

Another Day In Paradise


One can only wish... Posted by Hello

I recently took this photo this past weekend. We went fishing @ Seal Beach and noticed the bench that we were sitting in had this plaque on it which had me thinking the whole time we were there. Obviously, this plaque was dedicated in memory of a person who probably thought that this place (with an accompanying action such as fishing...) was paradise. Not to trivialize this person's notion of what paradise is, but I thought it far from it (maybe it was due to the fact that since it was at the beach, it was supposed to be sunny and warm but on that day it was cold & gloomy) but what got me thinking is what my notion of paradise was.

The more I thought about it, the more it bothered me. I don't really have a place to which I can really call paradise. I haven't really thought about it. Each location that I've been to, to me, has merely been just a location. Different from past locations. There's not one place that I know of, where I go regularly to find solace or peace of mind. I find that @ Starbucks but I don't frequent Starbucks and I can find solace or peace of mind at any coffee shop for that matter. Let's not forget that no normal person would want to consider Starbucks as "paradise".

Solace and peace of mind can be found almost anywhere for me so long as I'm allowed time and chance to be alone. After coming to that conclusion, I was still a bit bothered that I had no one place to call paradise. Maybe it'll stop bothering me once I find it.

Maybe it'll stop bothering me when I find peace of mind. Solace is overrated...
