Happyness does not come from what you've got, but from what you make of it, so my-as-well make it glitter!!

November 05 In the snow
 Snow makes me deliriously happy. There's something miraculous about these white crystalline particles, which, when unhurried by the wind, leisurely suspend in the air until such time they see fit to grace the ground. One might be two years more than twenty-four, and still be surprised by the beauty of life and continual youth of time, be enchanted by how snow glitters, and be amused by how one's tropical eyelashes are useless in such weather. When I got on the bus, the old woman gestured that I sit across the aisle from her, where three full plastic bags had been tucked under the seat. "Those are mine," she said. "Marché Jean-Talon." In one wave of her hand and a stifled laugh she explained the ridiculous situation of having done her shopping on a day that was snowing like crazy, and having to make her way home with full bags of shopping. "Three cauliflowers, same price as one." Yet another gesture of her hand, indicating her weakness for good bargains. "I'm now 81 years old, but I'm a good housekeeper, a good cook." I have no recollection of what I said, perhaps some kind of conversation filler. Several minutes passed. Then, to my surprise, she got up and walked across the aisle to me. "Do you live near here?" "Not far," I said. She proceeded to give me her address, the exact street corner, the apartment number. "Come and see me, I can cook you a nice dinner. I am from Europe you know. I have been living here for 56 years. I am 81 years old and I am alone." Her breath had a tinge of drink ... rum? In slow, laboured speech, she gave me a summary of her life in Montreal, how her mother died in her arms, how her husband was perturbed by her insistence to care for her mother until she passed on. "Or call me. Would you like to write my number down?" "No, I can remember numbers well." She gave me her phone number. I recited it back to her. "What's your name?" I told her. She recited my name back to me. "Call me, I am alone. Have a good day." I watched her collect her bags and cautiously got off the bus. I turned around and watched her crossed the street through the foggy window. Then I looked at other passengers in the bus, none of whom seemed to have noticed anything out of the ordinary. I wonder if she knew that I would never find the courage to pick up the phone. But a letter, maybe. Yes, perhaps a letter. September 17 
Righty versus Wrong?
This really makes me wonder... what sordid misdeeds did Charles actually commit? And what of Arthur? Is he an instrument of Justice, or does he hide a past equally as black as Charles? We may never know. But at the very least, we can breath easier, knowing there's one less crazy person out there.

15 Minutes of Fame; 45 Minutes of Low-Heat
The other day I was watching a program on Stonehenge. There was one particular point in the show where the narrator suggested ceremonial sacrifice was practiced at Stonehenge, a claim supported by burial remains of a young boy who died from head trauma. Sitting safely on my couch, the thought occurred to me, I sure am glad they don't do ceremonial sacrifice anymore — I would hate to be "chosen". But then, it also occurred to me that the sacrificial victim probably felt pretty special, even though they were about to eat shit. For one glorious day, all eyes would be on little Abrungsigaard, who was sure to be remembered until the next solstice, or at least until his sacred remains were fully digested. And with this thought, I realized that ritual sacrifice does still live on, in the tradition of roasting. July 14
Kirst says:
From the Northwest Florida Daily News comes this story of a couple who drove
their car to Walmart, only to have their car break down in the parking lot.
The man told his wife to carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car
in the lot. It was a hot day and he was wearing shorts.
The wife returned later to see a small group of people near the car.
Kirst says:
On closer
inspection, she saw a pair of male legs protruding from under the chassis.
Although the man was in shorts, his lack of underwear had turned private parts
into glaringly public ones.
Kirst says:
Unable to stand the embarrassment, she dutifully knelt down, quickly
put her hand UP his shorts, and tucked everything back into
place. On regaining her feet, she looked across the hood and found herself
staring at her husband who was standing idly by!
Kirst says:
The mechanic, however, had to have three stitches in his forehead.

They are the most amazing thing. To be able to witness the beauty of life first hand. Without them we would be lost, and all colour vanished. I think you tell the most about someone by looking into their eyes. You can see more emotion than any words or hands could ever show. They can't lie. They hold a moment, seize a moment, and show your deepest regrets and desires. They show love, and hate. They are gateways to our soul. They show our true personality with all their flaws. They show us good and evil, and let us understand people but yet judge. They give us reasons to be happy over something so insignificant and sad just as easily. People may change over the years, but eyes can make you remember who they are. They are the most valuable thing to a person I think, even before the heart, however like everything else in the world there is a good a bad side. They let you see the beauty in things and the ugliness and hate too. They let you love, and they let you judge. You have to remember it's a give and take. I don't think I could be as happy as I am now, if it wasn't for my eyes, and the beautiful eyes of others.
Now to end this I will asking questions about eyes, however I must say I mean no offence the blind, but I'm curious that’s all...:
1. When blind people die, do they see a bright light? 2. Why do they put Braille on drive through back machines? 3. What’s does an absence of colour look like, with out shades as well? 4. Can blind people only see black or do they live with this absence? 5. Can colour help you remember moments? 6. How come people pity those with disabilities even if they are complete a-holes, yet still treat them with the utmost curtsy? 7. Why do we hold the door for blind people and people with disabilities but not for our friends and family? 8. Does love at first sight happen? And what about the blind? I believe it does personally. 9. Why do we have colour? What is it? How can we see it and...say dogs, can't? Okay that was 3 questions but w/e.... <Drum roll> And last but not least 10. If we were all blind would we love more truly?
Remember, be grateful for what you have everyday, cause you never know when it's going to be gone. June 22 In my hollow grave we sleep To open night of mournful sight We second guess our motive here All becasue of that one last beer
Ya for OSAID!...and now the "other"
Black & White Happy & Sad Open & Closed How close we have come.
Ok, I don't know where or when I wrote the last one but I happen to like it a lot. Maybe becasue of it's simplicity, when I found it today cleaning my room I stopped and had to think. I like that, something so simple yet complex, maybe I like it becasue it reminds me of me.
Now on to more important things, I seem to have managed to get myself into a fiddle mood, whatever that may be. I really want to play/listen to fiddles. I can't stop thinking about them. However there is one small problem, I can't fiddle. I just want to rock out on the fiddle so damn bad but alas I can't! This is really frustrating to have a wanting I know I can't complete, maybe this is the feeling people with no legs have when they want to run...or mermaids...
I wish I could fiddle... I really really want to fiddle...
fiddle fiddle fiddle!! June 04 
Crisis Comes Ashore
It's quite scary to think how close mankind came to destruction. Our future lay at the whim of a simple-minded sock monkey, who — had he been capable of forethought — would have realized that destroying mankind meant shorter lines at Amusement Parks, greater odds of making it into the NBA, and many other attractive benefits. Of course, that would also mean no more humans around to prepare his beloved Beef Wellington, perpetual "designated-driver" status every time he went clubbing, and the sure sacrifice of his weekly spa treatments...
Hmmm. Maybe I don't give Mojo enough credit.May 26
Romantic Truth Forsaken
It must have been thrilling to live in a time when so much of our world was unexplainable, and open to wild interpretation. I mean, Science is great and everything — I really dig the modern solutions for breast enhancement, and Scratch & Sniff technology — but we've had to sacrifice a lot of romantic notions because of Science's grade-grubbing.
I'm not just talking about the "The World is Flat / Edge of the World" type myth, either. We've lost the "Sun is a Dude in a Chariot" myth, the "Lightning is Angels Bowling" myth, and the "People with Goat Legs Exist" myth. Those were great explanations — and from my perspective, much better fodder for an obelisk bas-relief than electon charges or periodic charts. Sure, the Old World had its plagues and its low, low life-expectancy; but wouldn't it have been great to be considered an authority figure just because you tell the BEST stories? Back then, my lazy approach to research would have been a boon; my knack for creating names of gods (check this out: Polekcules, God of Sweating) would allow me to explain anything and everything.
So all you Romantics out there... what do you think? Have you any refuted myths to lament? Or perhaps you've got one of your own to create? Today, consider this as a refuge from Science...
...and we'll say Math as well — just for good measure.
May 18 Worlds greatest invention. Why? May 17 I don't see it. I guess you could say I'm "colour blind". To me people are people, no matter what race. But I can't help but notice the subtle racist gimmicks surrounding me. From T.V. commercials to just the way people phrase things, it's there. We discriminate without even knowing it. I take people for who they are, not who I think they are. Well I try not to judge, cause I don't think I have that authority. I don't like to admit it, but we are all a little bit racist sometimes. I mean it's not like we are going around and committing hate crimes (oh the rhyme, From Avenue Q) But that song has some good points:
Maybe it's a fact We all should face Everyone makes judgments Based on race.
Princeton: Now not big judgments, like who to hire or who to buy a newspaper from -
Kate Monster: No!
Princeton: No, just little judgments like thinking that Mexican busboys should learn to speak goddamn English!
Kate Monster: Right!
Both: Everyone's a little bit racist today. So, everyone's a little bit racist, okay! Ethnic jokes might be uncouth, But you laugh because They're based on truth. Don't take them as Personal attacks. Everyone enjoys them - So relax!
And the whole RELIGION thing. It's almost becoming a bad word! People put up walls and yield themselves from meeting amazing people. I think the saying is true; you can get along with anyone as long as you don't bring up Religion or Politics! If you aren't in a special religion you are going to hell. Like WTF? The God that I believe in does not judge, does not want us to choose a religion, but except everyone for who they are, as humans. Gay's are no less human than a full fledge Catholic yet they are treated so differently. Why? I just don't see why!! I don't see why we fight wars because we are different. I don't see why it's a huge deal if kids wear turban’s in school!! I think I wish I was blind. I wish people who judge learn more about what they are saying before they insult. I know I'm being hypocritical and I know that what I say is politically incorrect. I know love is love, straight or gay, black or white or red or Asian!! I like to think the world is getting better, but really it’s getting worst. I hope people understand the issues of our world like AIDS and rising Diabetes. I know what I hope can never be true, we are too different. But it's a hope, a dream, and everyone needs dreams.
I love Dexy’s Midnight Runners >>>Come on Eileen! Peace……

So many people say they wish they could go back in time to change things they have done. I would never wish this upon myself or anyone else, because everything that you did or said got you to where you are now, for good or bad, and I strongly believe things will always work out, you just may not notice when it does.
But this blog isn't to say what I've done or wish I've done, I don't want to take anything back, but I want to RELIVE it all. My younger years, my childhood, I wish I could see it and feel it all over. I know I'm not old and I should not be having these thoughts, but because of my recent visit to River View and constant listening to old 90's wack-ass music, it reminds me over everything I've loved, and still love. My innocence, my passion, my drive, my love...I don't know if you can understand this, this being an emotions with-out a definition, with-out a word to describe my emotions/feelings over this. I'm still very-childish and fun loving, but it was different young. You could be confident in anything you did because you were cute and too immature to understand. This understanding makes us paranoid, nervous, stressful, fake, and everything I've prided myself on never being. Lately I've been drowning myself in old music and memories, sometimes all at once, and it makes me feel amazing. Makes me remember to love the little things that make a young child awe with surprise, questioning and wonder. How can people let these things go so easily? I know "it’s a part of growing up", but must it be? If we were all free-falling so to speak and living life free, we would be more relaxed and live life more full. Do you really want to be the type to die on your work desk from having a heart attack? No, of coarse you don't.
I think I'm trying to say to live every moment to its most, but everyone knows that already, but it's like knowing French fries are bad for you but you still eat them? So what you know what’s best, but do you actually abide by it? No....I try, and I guess that's all we can ever do.
We don't remember day's, we remember moments. April 03 Not one. Not one in ten friends would come out with me tonight. I know they had their reasons, and I'm not mad, purhaps a bit lonely though. Some couldn't come because they weren't allowed, and that's logical, but most didn't come because they didn't want to. Not that they couldn't, but that they wouldn't. The thing that hits me is that if one of my friends called me and asked me to do something I didn't want to do, I bet I would probably go. I might not have in the past but from now on I will. Not for myself, but for them,becasue that's what a friend does.
So now tonight I am alone with my computer screen...this is pathetic. April 02
After much thought, I don't think I can consider the guy working behind the counter at Subway a Sandwich Artist. I feel my argument is supported by a couple of reasons, obvious to all, after consideration.
1. The said employee (we'll call him Lars, for efficiency's sake), has absolutely no input as to the contents of my sandwich. What kind of artist can't decide his own medium?
2. Lars puts together the sandwich the same way everytime. Why not put the ham on top? Or use the turkey slices as the roll? There's so many other ways to experiment! Get your brain out of the bread oven, you dummy.
So, with this newly-discovered information, I am considering more appropriate titles for the Subway worker. Like the Sandwich Dredge. Or the Hoagie Concubine. March 25

If he drank all the water in the world, then had to pee, what did I shower in this morning??
Just to put everyone's mind at ease, drinking all the water in the world is physically impossible. I don't want this comic to scare anyone out of routine hydration — it's an extremely important aspect of survival. At best, the human body can only survive two days without H2O. Here's a simple play I wrote to help you remember:
ACT I.
Scene fades in on an opulent conservatory
Colonel Abenard: "I say, Madam Chambers, I'm feeling a bit parched!"
Lady Chifferella Chambers: "Heavens, Colonel! Do take care of yourself — I shan't know what to do if you were to dehydrate!"
Colonel Abenard: (chuckling to himself) "Nonsense, my dear. I was fine yesterday, and the day before that..."
Lady Chifferella Chambers: (offering a tumbler to the Colonel) "Still, I would be quite relieved were you to steal a sip of my tonic."
Colonel Abenard: "Good Lady! A sip of your glass, however brief, would ruffle my mustache beyond repair!"
Scene fades out
ACT II
Scene fades in on cemetary
Lady Chifferella Chambers: "How dreadful... to expire from thirst!"
Doctor Sutherland Southeby: (patting Lady Chambers on the arm) "Now, now, Chifferella — he brought it on himself."
Lady Chifferella Chambers: (wailing) "Why did I not do more to prevent this morbid dessication!?"
Colonel Abenard: (mustache severely ruffled) "Mercy! I'm quite glad I partook of your tonic after all, Lady Chambers!" (peering into casket) "Who is this wasted chap?"
Scene fades out.
February 11
Duly noted that I'm loco, this is what has been through my mind lately...
The simpleness, the ability to enjoy something so trivial it hurts sometimes because it's all you have left. To be able to simply stare at your own hand as rays of sun drench your skin and you watch it dance across your palm. To watch steam rise and swirl while you’re in the shower, and to look through the glass door like it's a kaleidoscope and see what you've never seen before. It's like this, you can have say a water bottle, think nothing of it...then one day see something more in it, like the simple way it magnifies things etc. That was a bad example but I just have a water bottle sitting beside me so ya. To be able to go for a walk, any time of day and think how absolutely beautiful the world is. And I firmly believe Searchmount is the most beautiful place on earth. When I'm up there I feel like Zeus standing a top the mountains. To see the snow squalls swirl down around you as you glide a top the snow on my bright blue skis.
Speaking of skiing, my uncle is coming up in March break to ski with me! Also to spend time with family. I'm not exactly to happy bout this, mainly cause he creeps the hell outa me. I know he means well, but he just not there all the time. Like he will call at some ungodly hour (example 6 in the morning!!) ask if we were up, then be like oh I guess it is a bit early I'll call back later. (Kari gouges out eyes...ugggggg) Or he'll call and he can hear us but won’t speak or say anything, all you can hear it breathing and you say hello but he won’t respond!! So ya to say the least it's an odd situation to be in, let alone have me teach him how to ski and snowboard when I've just learned to snowboard myself!! I may be a fast learner and I'm super good but I can't teach!!...well snowboarding that is.
Back to my main point, senses misguide us. We rely too much on our bodies to tell us the story rather than the mind. They are so fragile and... for lack of better wording... random! Like, why do we base a huge part of our existence on our senses? Because they're the same for everyone? Well what about people who are colour blind, or deaf? You'd have no point of reference with a blind man. How would you describe sight to him? Try describing the colour red. See what I mean? And if you can lose them so easily, why would you orient yourself by them so intricately? I mean of course it's in our nature to do that, but once you think about it, and realise the fragility of the things, wouldn't you just feel safer if you didn't rely on them so much?-stolen from another blog, but It seemed to say exactly what I could not in words.
Some days I feel like I've just missed them. I know they happened but they are gone from my memory, like I was never there, and I need people to tell me what happened for me to remember. I hate this. And when you miss those days you end up being behind everyone else.
Olympics are on!! One day I'll be in the Olympics...for something. Sports seem to be my thing, example: wrestling. On the tournament we had yesterday I was very, very ill prepared. I had not wrestled in over a month except one practise 3 days before the tournament. I was outa shape and just over all blah!! But I was extremely shocked by my outcome. I won both matches with pins one within the first like 30 seconds of the match. And what shocked me most was how good I was, when I wasn't even trying. I mean I wasn't trying at all!! It boggles my mind to think that one can succeed so much better when one does not try. But I guess in a way it makes sense. I succeeded because I was better, and I guess just a natural. Exhibit A) in gym yesterday I discovered I’m incredibly good at tackling people, and I might try out next year for the football team!! Maybe, I’m really shy. But Troy Polamalu is my freaking hero of all time. I only wish I was that good. During the tournament I chatted with Nick about RENT, which makes me all to excited now for it!!
Simple strands of beauty are everywhere, and the more you look and see, the more beauty you will find everyday. But they are only temporary. Complex beauty will last a lifetime; to bad I do not see it anywhere.
