David Horvitz (who will send me the sky, everyday)



Just found a cool site. Empunya seniman New York bernama David Horvitz yang punya banyak ide lucu, aneh, aya-aya wae' dan 'inspiratif' (I cant believe i'm using this word). Saya yakin David bukan satu-satunya orang yang memikirkan hal ini, tapi dia one of the people yang berani mewujudkannya.
Salah satunya, dia punya proyek memotret langit setiap hari selama tahun 2008 ini, di mana pun dia berada. Dan dia menawarkan foto itu pada siapapun yang mau. So by the end of 2008, we will have 366 photos of David's sky. How cool is that? :)
Well, motret langit mungkin biasa. Saya sudah banyak lihat foto langit. Tapi untuk memotret langit setiap hari selama setahun penuh dan dikirimkan ke orang2? Oh, btw, proyek 2008 ini adalah bagian dari proyeknya yg lebih besar: 'proyek memotret langit seumur hidup'. Now this is a little too much, ya? Bwehehehehe...

Ada tulisan dalam site-nya yang saya suka:
Do something everyday, regardless.
Nothing will happen unless you first initiate a process of cause and effect.
This starts with an action.
Reawaken the possibility with possibility.
Reawaken it with play.

Intip David di sini.

A Dreamy Idealist Inside

Kadang-kadang, gue suka bingung menjelaskan diri gue. Tapi untunglah, sekarang zaman internet ;P Gue ikut kuis ini di sini. And... VOILA! Here you go. I'm a Dreamy Idealist. What are you?

Dreamy Idealist (DI)

Dreamy Idealists are very cautious and therefore often appear shy and reserved to others. They share their rich emotional life and their passionate convictions with very few people. But one would be very much mistaken to judge them to be cool and reserved. They have a pronounced inner system of values and clear, honourable principles for which they are willing to sacrifice a great deal. Joan of Arc or Sir Galahad would have been good examples of this personality type. Dreamy Idealists are always at great pains to improve the world. They can be very considerate towards others and do a lot to support them and stand up for them. They are interested in their fellow beings, attentive and generous towards them. Once their enthusiasm for an issue or person is aroused, they can become tireless fighters.

For Dreamy Idealists, practical things are not really so important. They only busy themselves with mundane everyday demands when absolutely necessary. They tend to live according to the motto “the genius controls the chaos” - which is normally the case so that they often have a very successful academic career. They are less interested in details; they prefer to look at something as a whole. This means that they still have a good overview even when things start to become hectic. However, as a result, it can occasionally happen that Dreamy Idealists overlook something important. As they are very peace-loving, they tend not to openly show their dissatisfaction or annoyance but to bottle it up. Assertiveness is not one of their strong points; they hate conflicts and competition. Dreamy Idealists prefer to motivate others with their amicable and enthusiastic nature. Whoever has them as superior will never have to complain about not being given enough praise.

As at work, Dreamy Idealists are helpful and loyal friends and partners, persons of integrity. Obligations are absolutely sacred to them. The feelings of others are important to them and they love making other people happy. They are satisfied with just a small circle of friends; their need for social contact is not very marked as they also need a lot of time to themselves. Superfluous small talk is not their thing. If one wishes to be friends with them or have a relationship with them, one would have to share their world of thought and be willing to participate in profound discussions. If you manage that you will be rewarded with an exceptionally intensive, rich partnership. Due to their high demands on themselves and others, this personality type tends however to sometimes overload the relationship with romantic and idealistic ideas to such an extent that the partner feels overtaxed or inferior. Dreamy Idealists do not fall in love head over heels but when they do fall in love they want this to be a great, eternal love.
