Bus Trip

Unlike my last trip there were no digusting stories about the hotel room...bus ride -- different story. It was quite interesting. It involved over hearing people in early 20s' engaging in the following behaviors:
-pulling plastic bags over heads
-drawing happy faces with sharpies in plastic bags while on heads
-popping plastic bags and laughing
-snorting illegal substance
-commenting on effects of illegal substance
-mocking foriegn accents
-laughing hysterically at mocking of foriegn accents
-calling each other bitch
-self diagnosing ADHD (at which point I thought...and your hyperactivity and innattention has NOTHING to do with the fact you snort coke? hmmm interesting. I digress)

bottom line is I need to somehow someway buy a car...

More of the Same...

*Wow! I had a dream that one of my close co-workers was snorting coke! The crazy part of it is I thought it was hilarious and almost told her about it! I am so glad I never. Can you imagine how awkward that would have been. Geez.

*Cleaning out my fridge makes me realize how many good intentions I have to eat healthy. But that is all they are, good intentions. 2 bags of snap peas? Really? Put it this way: they were no longer green when I threw them out. There was so much freezer burn in my freezer, I am surprised my smoke detector didn't go off. I also discovered that ice cream can go bad. Yes it can.

*School's out for summer and things are still crazy as ever. Living in another city for a month. Moving in about two weeks. Haven't figured where I am going to live. Reports not done. Looks like a tornado hit my office.

*But I have a clean fridge and I exercised very good judgement in not telling my friend about the coke dream. So that is good.

This and That and Everything In Between

**I will address the really sad thing first. I found out several weeks ago a former student of mine died in a Motorcycle crash. He was 17. I taught him gym when he was in grade 5. He was a student a teacher never forgets. One of my first memories of teaching was him asking to use 'the pisser' while I was trying to do a scooter relay with 29 kids. He was always trying to be funny. Overall he was a good kid and my thoughts are with his loved ones at this difficult time although they probably do not remember me....I will always consider them to be a memorable part of my life. The posting of the lyrics to Turn Turn Turn was a response to the news.

**I really love the ready-made-pork-souviaki-skewers from the grocery store but my smoke detector does not. Sadly the love affair will end because of my over sensitive detector.

**It freaks me out just a little when I sweep up and and a piece of 'dirt' crawls away from the pile.

**The bureaucracy of Education is driving me crazy and I am only in my second year.

**I have completed my umpteenth year of being single but feel like less of a loser freak because of it. I do not know if that is a bad or good thing. I really like someone but I can't show it...well I really can't decide if I do like him...story of my life.

**I think I take things less personally than I did 5 years ago....progress!!!!

**I have started running at 530 am and it is bliss when you get past the 530 am bit. I got chased by a cat too the other morning. I think I can write a book on people/animals/insects chasing me.

**I just gave a gift that cost more than I can afford to my brother. But I think it will make him happy and that makes me happy.

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time to build up,a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I swear its not too late.

***Bob Dylan

Random Musings

The long weekend has provided me with time to truly reflect on events that have transpired over the last while....Nothing really substantial but worth noting.

**The last time I checked, it was poor humor to yell "Freeze!! Its a holdup" to a single woman in an ATM booth--especially at night. But some middle aged smoking drunk thought it was perfectly ok and gosh darn funny to do so. Until I set the record straight by simply saying 'that's not funny' in a calm and collected voice I might add.

**I can not claim that I remained as calm after the psychotic dog on killam dr charged out on the road after me as I ran past the house.....I always had a bad feeling about that dog and its piercing bark and as a precaution crossed the road just as I got near the house. I intuitively knew that one day that dog would not be tied on or break off his meagre leash to get to me....because he has it in for me. That day came last week....I panicked, I screamed, I swore, I gave some not so friendly pet care advice to its owner. The dog stopped short in the middle of the road dodging oncoming traffic. I have resolved that crossing the road is not enough of a precaution and therefore am armed with a stone to hurl in its direction if he so happens to mess with me again. SOB.

**Has it ever been ok to bring your adolescent son to a big chain lingerie store and let him listen to his i-pod at the check out and look as if he wanted to disappear in the 5 for $20 pantie bin?? I did not think so. But some parent thought it would be fine to drag him along. Scarred by under wire push up bras I think he might have been. Hope mom is saving for a therapist.

**I close with some of the things I should have done today but didn't:
Plan
Report writing
Go to the flea market
Eat vegetables
Clean Bathroom
Interior design
Buy plant
Shower
Research
Work on application for course
Fold and put away laundry

**Instead I:
Aimlessly looked for songs to download
Drank water
Thought about hungover I was
Ate french fries
Consumed coffee
Contemplated my love life (or lack thereof)
Modelled new shirts I had bought the previous day in mirror with various pants and skirts
Finished the Internet
Exercised my thumb muscle with the remote control
Watched and failed to understand documentary on the economy
Practiced writing name with left hand
Watched E Hollywood true story on Full House
Wrote this blog

When you are this good at procrastinating, It is impossible to be bored!!

There's lots of fish in the sea, sure there is...

You just have to halfheartedly join a few dating websites to find these gems...

Like, this one:
Nice Guy Seeks His Soulmate
I'm 33 years of age. I'm from Canada. I'm about 5'7 with brown hair and brown eyes. I'm a supervisor for our local newspaper in the production department. I consider myself to be a nice guy who's always looking for a new friend to chat with. My philosphy in life what Jesus taught in the Bible, LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS HE HAS LOVED US.. You want to know more, just ask.

Or maybe:
SWEET'S 2 THE SWEET!!
I am what would be considered as a Doom/stoner Metal Head,and would like 2 find a woman who likes 70s movies,cars,music, clothes & weed of course.If you want to chat we can add me as Morphiis_666

How about:
spontatenous
Joyfull, spirited, nice looking, wildand free

If joyfull is not what you are looking for try:
save a horse ride a cowboy
if u want it , here it is come and get it !

Or, if you like contradictions maybe:
I'm not overeager! Notice me!
I just need someone to give my love to and to receive some as well. I'm not the type that sucks life out of people. I tend to provide energy instead. If you like that way that sounds then chances are you'd like me too. Give me a shout sometime. I look forward to hearing from all of you.

If you are looking for self confidence why not a:
hunkey male
This must be the hardest part!! - here goes... I like me... therefore there must be something good about me.

Or, maybe apathy is more attractive:
So .... how am I doing so far ?
Hey, I am just kinda bored right now, hence why I am doing this. I'm a fun guy. I am very athletic.
