The Chance-thing.

So many things...
So many things to blog about, to comment on, to show, to do, to visit, to explore, to schedule, to experience, to accept, to reject...!
So little time. You all know how time is never enough and how we all wish that there were more than 24 hours in each day and more days in the weekend and how this is one of those few gifts Santa will never bring you, etc., etc. Well, I have that need so intensely right now, I almost feel I can actually make it happen! You know how this morning the time-changed and gave us 1 extra hour in the day? I think that was me!!!
(the "if-you-want-it-really-bad-the-whole-universe-becomes-your-ally" theory)
If I'm wrong, don't let me know.

Anyway, speaking of time brings me to my focus point of the day: 1 min. video (old news, but I had to rewind a bit - the things I want to blog about are so many I had better start off somewhere)

Let's see:

The Chance-thing.
I suppose you could always leave everything to chance or you could actually spend your whole life trying to predict, prepare and control.
Chances are the former will - sooner or later - lead you to some seriously unpleasant results, while the latter will definately deprive you of most magical surprises life has to offer.
The answer is somewhere in the middle (isn't it always?) and this is how I dealt with the whole subject when trying to prepare my 1 min. video.
My skills in video making/editing are kindergarden level, the software in my computer didn't help one bit, BUT....I had so much fun throwing my digital camera in the air!!!
The chances of it crashing on the ground were giving me minor brain-strokes (honest) but it only made it more exciting so I couldn't help myself...I am only glad there was a deadline for the project, otherwise I may still be out there performing Sony-acrobatics!
I think I'll try it again in the future if and when I improve my camera techniques!
So, I'll just see this as a "chance to warm up"...

Well, here I am…
New to this blogging thing, actually. But then again…new to this country, this flat, this course, this journey…
No time for yacking right now, but I’ll get back here really soon to explore and (b)log my hours of flight.
Until then, take a moment to watch this short not-that-successful attempt of a video.
For old times sake.
