Relaxed and Alone

The picture of the day says it all, I think. Twas taken in Niagara (US side) in Feb of last year with my trusted Canon S230.

Got these 'The Notebook' quotes from someone else's blog. Thought it was much appropriate (in my head it is, anyway), for the photo.

Noah: Would you just stay with me?
Allie: Stay with you? What for? Look at us, we're already fightin'
Noah: Well that's what we do, we fight... You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing.
Allie: So what?
Noah: So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out.
Allie: What easy way? There is no easy way, no matter what I do, somebody gets hurt.
Noah: Would you stop thinking about what everyone wants? Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do YOU want? What do you WANT?

Anyway, nothing much to say except maybe that the fever and cold that's nogging down my system feels like a welcome relaxing breeze, a desensitizer to the many thoughts that keep entering the mind.

Oh sleep, come now.
