Sit straight...

We all learn stuff like that while growing up..
Don't eat with the mouth open, don't pick the nose,
sit straight and millions of others...
We remember all of them and religiously respect most of them, ok
lets say some.
I have some troubles with sit straight though. I don't really like
to sit straight at all and most of the times I sit in quite
unconventional ways :o)


Sometimes it takes me forever to upload a photo, others it's
just to much, so I'm just uploading this one to wish everybody
a really great weekend. Remember to not sit straight always, even
if we risk breaking our necks in the process, but this is the
excitment of living dangerously...


Quoting THE BOOK:
What to do if you find yourself stuck with no hope of rescue:
Consider yourself lucky that life has been good to you so far.
Alternatively, if life hasn't been good to you so far,
which given your present circumstances seems more likely,
consider yourself lucky that it won't be troubling you much longer.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams


PS: For those who never read the best triology in four parts ever,
just go out and grab one for the weekend, you'll be literally
falling of the couch with laughter ;)

...and what would chairs look like if our knees bent the other way? Great stuff... :)

Lol! Great image Ana! Of course you and I know that first you have to catch your couch.
Looks like this one was getting away!

This is excellent...thanks to JD's PONG to bring me to it.
I always like to sit with my one foot up/knee bent on the chair while eating dinner. I had cool parents though...don't remember a lot of the don'ts! A few yes, but not many.

Trop drôle, Ana. Et très bien réussi, comme toujours! Bravo.
(Je m'asseois mal aussi... mais d'une autre façon:-)))

I tend to agree with what you said, and applied it, but after a few minutes, there is a kind of discomfort having too much blood in the brain. My be I am not thinkink enough usually? Bravo for the lesson and for the shot.

So ....different Ana. Totally unexpected. Perfect as always.
Pepe Zyman09-Sep-2006 03:44
Outstanding image!

Lovely, nearly yin and yang but there's little to suggest the two opposite sides, but much to suggest the comfortable meeting at the middle
Sam_C09-Sep-2006 00:30
Wow, too cool! I had to look twice to figure out what this was! Creative shot, and love that quote from Douglas Adams!
Craig Persel08-Sep-2006 23:09
Love the photo . . . AND . . . related text. Wonderful. :-)

I was told don't sit like that 'cause all the blood will rush to your head..which of course will make you crazy..and you'll live the rest of your life picking your nose..maybe the blood when to Jude's head as well? I needed this pic..lol..Jude I love ya..
Robbie D7008-Sep-2006 21:27

Guest 08-Sep-2006 20:50

A fascinating study in confusion, Ana. A whirl of abstracted fabrics and body parts, asking each of us to figure out which end is up. Thanks for the treat, and for inspiring Jude to look at it while picking her nose!
Guest 08-Sep-2006 14:56
!!;)))... j'ai toujours su que tu avais un côté non conventionnel, Ana, mais de là à faire une photo deux minutes après l'avoir éditée et commentée, tu fais fort!!:))
Je te souhaite, également, un excellent we!
