"When I was young I set out to change the world.
When I grew older I perceived that this was too ambitious,
so I set out to change my state.
This too, I realized as I grew older, was too ambitious,
so I set out to change my town.
When I realized that I could not do even this, I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man I know that I should have started by changing myself.
If I had started with myself, maybe then I would have succeeded
in changing my family, the town, or even the state-
and who knows, maybe the world."

My First Snowman ever made

This is first time seeing snow, and my first winter! White color, light and fine ice-like little things falling from the sky! Okay, keen observation... It was quite a heavy snow shower in the weekend, exciting of course, and well, finally got my snowman ready. It took me an hour of exhausting ‘skillful’ activity and really ‘creative’ thinking to make this snowman-like ‘creature’ (above photo), under an extremely freezing morning like this. Its name is.. whatever

Anyway, looks good the snowman, though a little deviated from the image of a typical snowman we has been expected.. hey, good job for an amateur maker. You know how hard to make a compressed tough-enough snowball into your preferred size and shape? ..from this light and fine, little snow. Give it a try.. I shall make a better snowman during the winter vacation as a mark of a better new year 2010! Yea..
