When life
gets busy with work, family and friends sometimes it takes something different
to steal your attention and bring a smile to your face. With my more than hectic schedule lately my attention was certainly taken by a photo of a macaque
monkey in Indonesia taking a self-portrait and from the looks of things quite
enjoying it! (photo can be found by following the link below). This type of moment is captured for a lifetime and I suppose it
made news because animals in the wild shouldn't really understand the concept
of posing for a camera, after all they don't really know what the camera does,
but that didn't seem to stop this guy striking a pose and showing us a
beautiful smile. Life really is funny, unexpected and extraordinary if this
monkey shot is anything to go by. Personally it makes me smile every time I look
at it.
Once upon a time, when i worked in retail i was caught up in the whirlwind that involved trying to balance my part time earnings (while i studied) with my never ending spending. Time and time again i had to ask people at the cash register the same question of how they would part with their money to purchase their new found clothing. Would they be paying with cash, credit card or a savings account. For many it seemed credit was the most viable option, which i never understood as i believe it's the equivalent of spending money you don't have so you have no business in spending it anyway, but each to their own i suppose. Finally one customer came to make his purchase and i asked that famous question: "Will that be cash, credit or savings?" He answered with a sigh, "don't you mean slavings?!" I laughed back and thought how right he was. I guess for some people it really does feel that way. It made me think, in a way he was right. Aren't...
I haven't seen this - amazing!
