2013. The Place to Be.
Howdy partners!
First off, I wish you all a fruitful, ūber awesome and profoundly blessed year 2013.
2012 was great in many ways, I am glad that it ended well for me.
Now that we are in a new year, I'm sure we all have great expectations, are ready to effect change, and generally lead better lives.
In essence, 2013 is the place to be for all that and more.
How about we start with Asa's The Place to Be?
Happy 2013 guys!

Changing the World. With Words.
Every once in a while, a moment of clarity happens.
It may necessitate a complete turn-around in one's practices, or simply affirm that one has been on the right path all along, in which case all that is needed is focus and more effort.
I have recently experienced a moment of clarity.
The details of such a moment and all that it entails are beyond the scope of this post.
I shall however be remiss in not putting on the record, my stated objective to change the world.
With my words.
There is no doubt that I shall realize my goal. No, it won't be easy. But I'll be unrelenting in my quest. For I refuse to live a limited life.
The above clip is from Steve Jobs: One Last Thing, a documentary that was originally aired on PBS.
That said, all the writing [of books, articles and related publications] will happen across the web. Timely updates will be available both on The Walkabout and on the Pete on Books site.
Join me as we continue to add value through reading and writing.
That will without a doubt change lives.

Wish Lists and Set Targets
It's now less than three weeks to my birthday.
Like every other progressive person, I'll take the time to reward myself on that day as well as do a fearless and searching moral inventory of my life so far. Thankfully, I am grateful to God for the opportunity to take stock of not less than three decades of an eventful life.
Right about now, the two items [for both work and play] in my immediate wish list are a Samsung Galaxy Y Duos smartphone and an ASUS Transformer Pad tablet. Check out the following gorgeous photos:
That said, there is a song I very frequently features on my playlist. Interestingly, it is a Christmas song, most of which are only played in the third quarter of every year.
Amy Grant's original version
Kelly Clarkson's rendition
The song's chorus is such a moving statement of what every person of goodwill should envision and accordingly do to help us all realize. It goes:
At a time when the world is heading towards anarchy, it is a good time to evaluate one's individual contribution towards a better life for everyone, as outlined in the above song.
Over and beyond wish lists, I'm looking at my upcoming birthday as a time to re-dedicate myself to the achievement of my set targets. It'll be a good enough time to mark ends and embrace new beginnings. It'll be a time to have another take.
I continue to thank you for your much appreciated company on this walkabout, even as we get ready for The Walkabout on a more elaborate scale.
Cheers :-)

No more lives torn apart,
That wars would never start,
And time would heal all hearts.
And everyone would have a friend,
And right would always win,
And love would never end.
This is my grown-up Christmas list.
