Life is a Fabulous Blend...

Tired. Worn. Stuck in a rut. At times i feel like even if change was an option, it would be unattainable. I just want something new to start, but not school. That just brings more stress.

When a body moves so perfectly to music, it is pure magic. Each soft note accompanied by a small movement, each sticato is emphasized by the pop of a back. As if you can't hear the music without the body moving to it, each note is sung out loud and clear when put in motion by the dancer. My goal is to make music move in perfection.

Question of the day: Is it good to strive for perfection? Keep in mind perfection is impossible. Will you just end up disappointed? I know they say "shoot for the moon and even if you miss, you wil land amoung the stars"..but what is so great about the moon anyways? Does anyone actually benefit from perfection or close to it? I want to know why i should advance.....

"call my name" is one of the most beautiful songs i have heard that is not jazz, regae, or classical. Sing it Prince. Seriously, it sets a total mood for me. Enter: Dimmed lights, soft candles lit all over the place. Big white romantic bed with rose petals all over the whole room, music softly playing in the background.....______________ laying on the bed reading ___________. Oh man.....music....later

First off, you need to define perfection. In my opinion, perfection, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. To some, straight A's might be perfection. To others, dating the most members of the opposite gender may be perfection. To others, being cheerleader captain or nailing a part onstage might be perfection. With all the many different images of perfection, you cannot possibily achieve them all, so you'll never be perfect in everyone's eyes.

The real goal here is to be perfect in your own eyes, not cocky about it, but to be able to say there is nothing about yourself that you wish wasn't true. And maybe, if you're lucky, get someone to feel the same way about you. Yeah. That's perfection to me.
 
kara this has absolutely nothing to do with your post, but i love you so much thank you so much for being my friend kara. you are so amazing and i wouldnt be half the person i am without you.
 
Perfection has a definition, although, yes, it is in the eye of the beholder. For some reason, without deep though about it, since perection in unnatainable I would sya this it is being better than everyone or as good as the best. But yah, in any case, striving for perfection is what we are taught to do, yet I've found that being perfect or great or whatever sucks. I truly strive to be imperfect. A much easier goal.

I guess Christ won't like that, because I'm not following in his Mr.Perfect wake. Oh, I just ID'd another game the big guy in the sky likes to play with his creation. It's called "Try and be perfect like me even though you can never be so!" It's a great game he plays, like all the rest, because he always wins.

Oh, whoops, sorry, I just went off. Kara, you are ideal. Perfect isn't the word, we've gone over this. But you are perfect, and you know it. Stop striving and enjoy life.
 
I'd say i agree most with lennard. Perfection, like beauty, can be present in many areas of life and it all depends on where you apply it to. For me, i speak of the perfection of existence. To have total value, meaning, and success through the publics eye. But see thats worthless because everyone in the public sees the above defined differently. Ryan's perfection is different from Neil's which is different from BH's which is different from Lenny's perfection. I could be a failure to one and a success to the other. So i suppose it is all up to perfeection in God's eyes which we already have so striving just isnt worth it....or not.
