An Idealist at Large

I am not sure about you but I have always taken pictures of a variety of sorts. Just last weekend I decided to return the camera I had bought as it just did not seem to feel and work the way I wished. So I have not been taking that many pictures of recent. In some ways I think that is good.

It's funny in todays age where now everything you have to obtain permission with, or maybe it's all within my approach. I think that later as but all the same I am enjoying just writing as well as sticking to what I desire to do right now. The weather seemed to warm up to a normality of what an Autumn right now should be like.

Here we are within October and where did summer go, but the way I see it - it's just around the corner. Although the weather is still grey at least it's not that cold climate that came upon us here the last few days.

I went back to the bookstore as there is one book that I wanted that believe it or not went missing. I am not sure about you but there are those books that you just love to read. There is nothing like the feel of a book or a newspaper for that matter. When I went to talk to the manager of the bookstore that I know asked me if I realized I had 25 books waiting for me on my account. Now my spending habits are not extreme so we went to the till and and here my brother of all people had called in and placed them on in my name.  She knows me well. And she indicated that she was going to place them in my brother's name and have a call made to him.

I am not one to get into family feuds if you know what I mean. So it all worked out as he know has to attend to what he placed on my account. I must say that she was keen enough to pick up on what had been done and handle in a manner that left me out of the picture.

As far as within the gym - it's going well I am taking it in very slow stages. What I love most of is progress. There is always room for improvement is how I feel and I love the variety of people that you meet. There is one old friend of mine whom comes from England that teaches at the university. A boisterous, fun guy by the name of Dennis. Dennis is the type of person that is a great one, and as well so many others.

After leaving the gym, I asked the manager Ken, the CEO, if I could take a few pictures and he was not about to allow me too as he said, "if I do it for you, then I have to do it for everyone". There used to be a Nikki that worked there unfortunately she and many on the administration side have been shuffled around - and that's unfortunate as I love to take pictures with this other camera of mine.

But regardless of all of this, it's been a very good day. You can't obtain everything you wish, but you can certainly do the things that you desire. But within it all there is progress. One may have a hurdle now and then but hey that all goes with the territory of life.

Perhaps I am an idealist but I am certain on my way.
