Day 30 - Self Portrait
Non-prettified. Every day when I start up the laptop I end up looking at myself in the dark mirror of the screen waiting for things to get going. I like to look at myself there and I put on my most attractive face as I look at myself. I took one of those pictures too but I wanted to put this one up instead for my self portrait today - more honest as to what everyone else sees all the time when they look at me - I can't keep my best face going every moment. I do have those soft double chins of age. Oh well - it's certainly time to get used to it - there is no going back in time.
As an aside - I find the Tibetan monks very sexy. I love their bare arms and shaved heads. Their skin is a very attractive shade of brown. They (most all the ones I saw yesterday) are not fat or thin - but they have a pleasing roundedness and look of health. If there is such a thing (as reincarnation) I would like to come back as one someday. I'm pretty sure I will not be reaching enlightenment in this lifetime so there will be another chance coming up. There is a concert tonight of their sacred music and dance - I'd like to go. Also tomorrow in the afternoon a presentation telling about the symbolism of their art - that would be very interesting too. Too bad it's an hour's drive to get there. I'd be there for everything if it was closer.
Kind of glad this 30 day photo challenge is over - though it wasn't that hard. Sometimes I felt like I didn't give it as much attention as I could have.
