Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all. ~~ Douglas Adams

I attempt to surround myself with ineffable individuals. I put them on a pedestal, not so much to elevate them, more in an endeavor to hoist myself to their awesomeness. I seek to balance myself next to them and with my utmost energy work on becoming equal to them.

“Surround yourself with those who won’t compete but will revel in your success and see your ascent as a reflection of their own possibilities.” ~~T.D. Jakes

When you surround yourself with negativity and ugly, I think you become that. I have been scolded by many for appearing to run away from problems. I have tried to explain that I am not running away from anything, just trying to run towards solutions, happiness, and the amazing light that I find when moving away from the dark.

“You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.” ~~ A. A. Milne

I seek the company of dreamers and achievers, those with strength, dignity, ethics, and humor. My best companions, friends, and mentors are those that strive for the best, even when surrounded by the worst and build me up, helping me to build up others.

The Daily Post’s Collage challenge got me to thinking about my recent trip to Vienna and the beautiful collages I found while walking the waterways. Once again I am taking it to the streets.. one of my favorite blog themes. Yahoo.. street art!!!

After visiting Krakow, Poland and Budapest, Hungary, I was sort of meh with Vienna, Austria.. UNTIL.. my friend convinced me to walk down towards the water and where we just happened to run into a little street fair and a ton of amazing street art. Sometimes the road more travelled ends up being the best road to be on. Of course there were many more examples, but these were really my favorite. Threw a couple of musicians in just for fun. I hope you enjoy.
