In the moment....

Another season of the 'American Idol' came to a close today. For the first time in my life as a viewer of the show, I felt like I was actually present in the audience there in L.A. and having a really good time. This, I.M.O., was the best episode of the entire season with everyone performing with their own idols and the whole thing in totality was an experience in itself. While I watched Carrie Underwood actually being announced America's Idol, there was another question that came into my mind related to our dreams and ambitions.
A multiple number of us have one dream or aspiration at least that we want to realize. Regarding the American Idol, all the people that auditioned and got selected during the auditions had a common dream- to be a famous face; to be someone that everyone would love, adore, and die for. But a few of them actually had a yearning that was so deep, a dream so powerful, and those were the people whose dreams got them the spots of the top 12 contestants. As it kept narrowing down, many were voted out, even though they all shared that great dream. Then how come the person who won the title won it, and not someone else (each one was as good as the other)? Does that prove that only the 'winner' had the most powerful dream? What about the others, didn't they all strive towards achieving what they so deeply desired, too? Or was it that Destiny had some part to play here? I can't really come up with one perfect conclusion to this. Can you?

Ouch!

I got my ears pierced again today. Well, I had a piercing each on both my ears from when I was a little girl, but now, I have new ones just on top. Actually, this is the second time I'm getting them pierced on the same spots on both my ears. How come, you ask me?! The first time I got the second piercings done, they were sooooo painful and since I'm cursed with sensitive skin, there were a few complications, and I ended up not wanting them the same day I got them pierced. Anyhow, that's all a matter of the past.

The 'past'...well, that word reminds of something that has been of great interest to zillions of people all over the globe for eons- Time Travel!! Count me into this pool of 'Space and Time Travel' aficionados. Since I wasn't a science student at high school, I'm having some trouble figuring out all the scientific terminology, but I'll figure it out somehow, where there's a will, there always is a way! My current read is a book called 'The Short History of Nearly Everything' by Bill Bryson. It's not a very recent release in the literary world, I bought it a few months ago, and I'm reading it now.

Well, as for time travel, didn't Napoleon say nothing was impossible, now it certainly seems to me as if he knew what he was talking about! Gee, I'm all about adages today!! Who am I!! ;)
