"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
- Marianne Williamson

Consider instead:

Rock Party

Saturday night I went to a rock-themed party at J's house (from work). I think the pictures speak for themselves...And no, I was not the least dressed up by far, it's just that I took pictures of some of the better costumes.



One of the many custom posters all over the house.



Yes, my hair is black. Yes, that is an earing. Yes, it's fake.



Elvis (in his later years) and .... generic British groupie?



I didn't recognize this guy until he started sweating and his fake beard fell off.



Guitar heroes.

Bike Ride

I went on a longish bike ride on Saturday with P. We rode to the nearby town of Bryne on a lark. Nice ride, and we ended up coming back along the North Sea Race route (at least a small part of it). Hopefully I can get the pictures from him soon, but he just went offshore so we'll see. Here's a map, although the distance we actually rode was longer.
