7 Months & a Crash Later ...

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 8, 2008, 4:21 PM
Thanks to All

Thanks to all visitors & watchers alike for your messages & comments, +favs' & +devwatchs' ... your continued support is gracefully appreciated & humbling ...
:thanks: :heart:

Seven Months ... (& counting)

Shit .. it's been seven months ... 7 whole months, approximately, since I last updated me journal blog-thingie!! So, it's time to refresh, update, start again, as it's also been just over a year since I actually signed up to dA.

:wow: doesn't time really fly when ya don't want it to!!

Time has been interesting during this period, it's been fascinating to watch the development of a brand new human being, our son Luka!! If you've had children then you'll know what I'm on about, if you haven't then you'll understand when the time arrives ...

I'm not gonna go on about how cute babies can be, since we're all aware of this (whether you've had kids of your own or not!!) ..

I'm more about how brilliant it is to see a new pair of eyes scanning everything, exploring the unknown!! All of their senses opening up to find out what's what ... like biting or should I say gumming plastic (not very tasty really!), touching or scratching soft toys or wooden surfaces, hearing the sounds of David Gilmour, Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Black Sabbath ...amongst others & the list of learning goes on & on ...

“Try to look at everything through the eyes of a child”
Ruth Draper, 1884-1957

... I can fully understand & appreciate this saying, moreso, now than previously before Luka arrived.

So there you have it, time flies & Luka is about 7 months old now ... or should I say 7-months young!!! And here he is ... Luka eating plastic!! Yuck ...



But there's more, which could be summed up in a snippet of words, or lyrics to be more precise ...

"Life is much more than money buys
When I see the faith in my children's eyes"

'This Heaven', David Gilmour
From the album 'On An Island', 2006


And a CRASH later ...

Well, it's not the crash that some might think of ... that is, an economic one!!
You know, the capitalism Boom/Bust thing that's happening recently ...

It's a real metallic, plastic, glass ... colliding with the like ...

Crash! .. Bang! .. Wallop!



Luckily, it was just myself in the car at the time ...

It's said that your life flashes before your eyes at the point of impact in a crash ... all I remember seeing was the bloody airbag & dust ...

Thanks for Watching ...
Cheers ...
:heart: .. ;)
:peace: on :earth:





Since I've got a couple pics of me car all bashed up, ... thought I'd spend a while browsing for pieces that may not necessarily get a large amount of exposure, with a similar theme!!

Hope you like the selections? If so, let the artists know ...

I love your stamps, and i know that your probably really busy at home, but,
Would you mind if i took your stamps and made ones for the Nikon Film cameras? Maybe even some of the lenses?
I would give you due credit of course.
