now the time has come

"The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax-- Of cabbages--and kings-- And why the sea is boiling hot-- And whether pigs have wings." ~Lewis Carroll, The Walrus and the Carpenter (a very cool thing to read) So, the time has come i think, to talk about everything.. basically talk with myself about everything in my life... it's the end of the year, time for employee performance appraisals :) so i thought what the hell, i might as well have an appraisal session for myself... contrary to what some might think, i am actually a harsh judge on myself.. I might not appear to you, the reader, as someone who has a clear view of where her life is going and a clear plan on how to get there.... but i do... yes, i may take the longer route, but come on, at least i enjoy the scenery :) and when am old and wrinkled, it's memories of the scenery that remain.. but i always keep my ultimate plans to myself... why? i don't know, i just like it better this way.. you don't get to discuss your plans with people and maybe need to defend them.. and you don't let people down when u make a change of plans.. plus, i don't like talk talk talk and no action.. i tell people about dreams, aspirations, sometimes.. but not about plans, unless it involves them.. but i do have some clear destinations in this cloudy head of mine :) first of January in 2009 somebody wished me a happy new year, and i replied that" 2009 hasn't shown me its mean face yet" i mention this now to say that it did show me its mean face in many things, aspects, people.. the funny part is that i'm glad and thankful that it did, i learned many things from all i went through this year, i changed, can't really say a change for better or for worse but i changed to the person i should be, i realized that living life is not about me or what i want, its about what i should be.. * What I'm reading These days am still reading Terry Pratchett's Night Watch... I've been very slow on reading the past few weeks, that's why i didn't finish this book till now... When i finish it, my next read is ready:The Book of Dreams edited by Neil Gaiman.. its a collection of short stories by different writers about The Sandman and other Endless siblings (who were originally created by Neil Gaiman.. * Smells I like Fresh rain freshly brewed good coffee in open air Good fresh bakery libraries -more than bookstores- (there is this distinct smell to books...) Baby powder the "smell" of the air in a clean place (mountain/sea) * I now noticed that my blog space is almost six months old :D So much has happened since then, its like I'm going back in history when i read this..
