My Hero

Favourite Place for Groceries

i'm yellow and proud

i refuse to pay for bags either

blah blah blah

why is it that getting together with family and (certain) friends is not what it used to be? is this how it's going to be for the next 40 years...interminable conversations about commute times, home remodelling, "how's work?" etc. spare me. remember when we used to actually talk?? i guess our lives are much less interesting than they were when we were more carefree. or they still are interesting but we don't want to share, in case we fall a rung or two in the omnipresent competition; god forbid someone reveal their current dissatisfaction with life. i thought we socialized to get away from the day to day. not to rehash to someone else who doesn't give a damn but is trapped on the couch and can't walk away without looking rude.

yours truly,

bored of get togethers

still here. just an update. when i have something worth posting i'll post it.

Wow, good for Friendly Giant. Although Ass-picker is getting uncomfortable close, nipping at his heels.

BRA vs. ARG- Copa America

Ahhh...the age old rivalry continues.

Death to Argentina!!

Some things to note:

Argentina have geekily put forth their world cup class national team, bringing out all the stars, while Brazil are playing their 3rd bench...Roby and Juan...who the hell is everyone else??

There are many hairless Argentinians in this team, not their usual straggly long hair. Covering up for male pattern baldness finally. Hopefully this does not bode well for them. Jinx Jinx Jinx.

B.O.

Visitors are here from another land.

Dwelling now reeks of body odour.

Embedded in their clothing.

Feel like stripping them naked, spraying down with a garden hose, burning their clothing, shaving all hair off their bodies, applying potions to declog their pores, administering copious amounts of deodrant/perfume, and putting on brand new clothes.

Sort of what they do to new prisoners.

I guess, since thoughts are not deeds, I'll just light up a candle and breath through my mouth.

The Evolution of My Communications with Friends & Family

Long talks while going for a walk, with eye contact that pierces into the soul. Deep philosophical discussions in a cafe. Long letters sent by mail traversing thousands of kilometers.

Marathon phonecalls. Lengthy emails. The occasional card.

Diligently checking and replying voicemail. Messenger chats if I am online.

Negligent Blogging

Got my yearbook today. Graduated April 2000, received March 2007. Talk about procrastination by the editor. In her opening letter she claims it is unorthodox to receive a yearbook so many years after the fact, but that it seems appropriate, as now is the time we are likely getting nostalgic about our undergraduate days. What a bunch of *!!%$&%^* Anyway, I guess I can see how it would be a p.i.t.a to put together. Hey KNO, good job on the timely yearbooks during our OT4 years, I appreciate it much more now! But anyway, all whining aside, it WAS nice to go through it after so many years, I'm sure I wouldn't have even opened it had I received it right after graduation. Wonder what all those ppl are up to now.

The Circle of Life

We are raising our kids wrong.

We judge, label, value certain attributes, boast and flaunt them, put them in our "profiles".

We try to get the right occupation, car, neighbourhood, clothing size, spouse, number of offspring, travel itinerary...all on a limited time course.

We gauge others' happiness based on their acquisition of what we deem acceptable..."They're doing well" we say.

If we have kids with any semblance of independent thought they go through a superficial "rebellion" of this, likely during the teenage years. Then they predictably follow our lead. It is all they have known, usually.

As they embark on trudging through the rat race, we, if we have any residual untainted thought processes, have come to realize the fruitless and insignificant nature of our value system.

But it's too late to change them, we are now old farts whom others must simply tolerate due to obligation. And who are we to talk anyway, after already doing what we're telling them not to do.

Sickens me.

Oh well....I'm off on a cruise.

Rested Saturday

Ahhh...The joys of the 3 hour nap. Haven't done that in a while. Love the feeling of waking up RESTED!! It's worth the 3-5 second panic attack of OH MY GOD...WHERE AM I, AM I LATE FOR WORK?! Especially confusing now that it's winter and dark so often. On another note, I'm wondering about Butterfly Stickers. Why is it lately....for the last month or so...that every little girl who comes to the office picks out Butterfly stickers when they leave? Is there a new Butterfly mass media marketting machine in effect? Are they all astute students of Chaos Theory? Another new hit cartoon or something? I have to watch more T.V.
