Hiatus
Blogosphere,
Don't feel like posting much these days.
Taking a break.
Not sure how long.
Thanks for your support.
Love you,

What I've Been Thinking About...
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of the universe.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about
shrinking so that other people
won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine as children do
We were born to manifest the glory
of the universe that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone
As we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
Nelson Mandela, President, Republic of South Africa
From his 1994 inauguration speech
UPDATE: The quote is actually by Marianne Williamson and not by Nelson Mandela.

"This is a weird story. President Bush has apologized today for scolding a member of the White House press corps for wearing sunglasses because he found out the reporter is legally blind. ... Bush also apologized for telling physicist Stephen Hawking `to get off your lazy ass.'"

Smoking
As many times as I've tried to quit smoking in the past it's never felt like this. I just don't crave it. I see people at work going out for a smoke and don't give it a thought. I feel like, "Hey. I used to do that." That's it.
13 weeks and going strong.
(And to answer your question, yes, I've been on a b-e-n-d-e-r and did not have the urge to smoke. Now if I can only shake theangel dust & caffeine habit.)

World Cup
I love myself some soccer/football/futbol/calcio/le foot. There is no better time for me than the World Cup and I'm anxiously awaiting the start this Friday.
A friend sent me an email which had me laughing hysterically. Below you will find a (fictional) sample of the starting line-up for Denmark:
GK - Toomanigoalssen
DEF - Tryandstopussen, Crapdefenssen, Haveagossen
MIDF - Firstsson, Seccondsson, Thirdsson, Legshurtssen
FWD - Notroubleseeingussen, Wherestheballssen, Getthebeerssen
The email I received has several nationalities in it, all equally as funny. All written from an English perspective. If you'd like me to send it to you, drop me a line. (None are as clean as the one above.)
Please note, I'm not laughing at the Danes or any other nationality.
Be sure to tune into a game. Three billion people can't be wrong.
