is not a picture of Monkey going helter-skelter pell-mell full speed hands in the air down this 15-20 foot slide. It could be but we don't always get what we wish for. Instead use your imagination and be satisfied with the fact that the mere possibility exists. I makes me happy.

Bloggo-time for those uninterested: Tim's life is a lot of things, and lately I've been thinking about what it isn't and what it would be if I I was still in Pittsburgh right now instead of having jumped ship for Japan last year f, if I had studied abroad my junior year at Pitt instead of moving into a house and making some of the best friends and memories a boy could ask for. If I had done a Math or Philosophy or Film or any of the other millions of majors I would have loved to devote my scholarship to instead of Linguistics and Japanese. What would my life be like if I hadn't come to Pittsburgh at all, and gone off to Boston instead. What if the Mayans and the Aztecs had developed Gun Powder and Canon and the New World would have remained unconquered by the Europeans? Where would I be? Where would everybody I know now be?

I don't hold a lot of faith in subconscious psychology. I'm happy now where I am, I feel happy and I can say I'm happy. However I do put a lot of stock into my Dreams and I keep an on again off again dream journal for my personal reference, and I have to say I've been having an awful lot of dreams lately about being back in the States with my old friends and friends I never had the opportunity to make.

The way I tie it all back around is that this photo is just that, before I took this photo I had a lot of preconceived ideas about what it was going to be, but as of now it didn't turn out or isn't exactly what I thought of or had envisioned, however I still can dream. We all can dream.
