Sometimes you realize that the population of idiots in the word (and I use that term loosely to encompass a wide range of moronic activity) is larger than one might expect. Here is my list of today's greatest idiots:

So recently I've been pondering a variety of business ventures (for myself), as I figure that it only takes one good idea to take off and make you a legend in your own right (haha). So I've had various ideas over the months, some very mundane and low investment, others very innovative but more pricey to start up.

For everything...being upset, sad, stressed, frustrated...laughter is the best medicine! I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who makes me laugh (even when I'm really resistant to do so)...and especially to one special someone, who makes me laugh everyday - just wanted to say thanks, you rock!

Yesterday's events in front of Union Station were quite scary...it really did (as many people mentioned) feel like something outta a movie. I didn't take the subway yesterday, but for the many that walked into the scene on Front Street (or those who were stuck inside a crowded station with no place to go, and no idea what was happening) it must have been frightening.

What a fun summer weekend! We've had very few warm (and mainly sunny) weekends this summer, so this was a goodie! Friday night we went to a wedding reception for ED's high school friend...met some of ED's high school buddies, and got to watch magic trix at our table (playing cards...what a great idea for the bombeniere (sp?)).

What is up with the weather in this city...its been raining ALL summer (well practically, minus 4 days where I got to wear a sun dress, and one day when I needed a hat).

I'm not entirely sure why articles/studies like this are written/conducted, but I figure it is either:
a. another attempt to amplify societal break-up, and family dysfunction

It's amazing
How you can speak
Right to my heart
Without saying a word,
You can light up the dark
Try as I may
I could never explain
What I hear when
You don't say a thing
[CHORUS:]
The smile on your face
Lets me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best

I've been on a blogging hiatus...mainly 'cause work is pretty busy, and after work I have no inclination to turn on my computer! Well last weekend (we're doing the way back play back) we went out for dinner for Shilpa's birthday at the Porticello. It was an "interesting" dining experience. In a rather empty establishment, we ended up with the sole 'pasta natzi' (a little something Amishanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277373.post-1084386371224552632004-05-12T14:09:00.000-04:002004-05-12T14:26:11.223-04:00weekends were made for fun!
I know its Wednesday, so talk of last weekend seems so long ago...but it was a goodie! Friday night I actually spent with the family, watching a little tele, and I went to bed fairly early 'cause I was exhausted (yes, still getting accustomed to a full working week ;) Saturday morning we got ready and took my mom out for an early mother's day surprise.

So I'm a little over a month into my new job, and I wonder what it means that I have an entire desk drawer here (and I only have 3) dedicated to the storage of food. I have moved all my files onto my desk, so that I have more room for food (mainly snacks, non-perishable food items, soda cans, etc...)

An excerpt from the book by Jim Collins:
"Good is the enemy of great. And that is one of the key reasons why we have so little that becomes great. We don't have great schools, principally because we have good schools.

Was a rather relaxing weekend, and although we got sporatic bursts of bad weather, it was still fun! Friday night went to ED's home theatre (which I might add was spotless) and watched American Wedding. I'd never seen it before, and aside from that truffle-poo scene (which made me gag), it was quite funny. Saturday morning I went to a wedding with the 'rents, and realized that I Amishanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277373.post-1082660044758210532004-04-22T14:54:00.000-04:002004-04-22T15:00:52.810-04:00identity?

I'm not sure why I'm blogging everything separately, but I just feel like it. So I had a revelation today (after a conversation I had this afternoon).

This is a little quote by Sandra Bullock (not that she is necessarily a profound thinker or philosopher)...but maybe she's onto something:
"I've learned that success comes in a very prickly package. Whether you
choose to accept it or not is up to you. It's what you choose to do with it,
the people you choose to surround yourself with. Always choose people that
are better than you. Amishanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277373.post-1081282318539330362004-04-06T16:11:00.000-04:002004-04-06T16:28:11.403-04:00skybus 4 life!

I have this awful tendency to start multiple books concurrently, and then finish none of them (predominantly cause i can't keep track of what's what anymore, and i'd have to start from the beginning to make any of the books make sense...sorta seems like wasted time). On the contrary, i just try to talk intelligently about the 80-odd pages i've read, and then walk away Amishanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277373.post-1079162372701598352004-03-13T02:19:00.000-05:002004-03-13T02:22:44.750-05:00what's luck got to do with it?

Aside from the exploding pizza on Friday (which my ED still ate for his "b"), I had a fantabulous weekend!!!

Inline with the phrase "the grass is always greener", its true that when it comes to relationships, people always want what they can't have...and often times they don't appreciate what they have, when they have it (just observations from a variety of conversations I've had over the last week).

Has been a fun, and eventful week (leaving me uber-tired)...wow how quickly time is flying (*sigh* and how quickly year 2-4 is coming to a close...ugh). Friday I was sweetly surprised by my rainbow of tulips (yes my life is continuously filled with brightness and colour!)...gosh they are so gorgeous (and now I can share that with you, 'cause I FINALLY have a new camera).

I went to the autoshow this weekend (and Buzz was right, the Mercedes SLR was the most incredible vehicle I’ve ever seen). Other fine choices were the Jeep Rubicon (yummy) and the Nissan Frontier (yes, I remember Ms. Crazy used to drive this one in bright yellow).

Just one of those days, where you have no excuses, and just feel downright dumb. LOL (but yes, I'm totally laughing about it). Took my bro for his 'G' driving test today (took refers to the fact that I tagged along for what I thought was moral support).

I thought the speech given by _____ [I do not remember his name] at our UW convocation was rather unexciting. To be honest, I don't even remember if we had a commencement speech at WLU.

Sometimes life surprises you, catching you off guard with such incredible moments, that you’d almost believe you were dreaming.

I've been fighting with my printer all morning. It just doesn't cooperate. Then to top it all off, I finally get it to print something, but it changes its mind and gives me one of those 'outta black ink' msgs (the equivalent to f-you in the printer world!) I didn't even want black ink...but it decided to try and screw me anyways.

So like as a buddy of mine once said, 'I'm not exactly where I want to be in life, but I'm learning to be happy with where I am'...which explains my sentiments exactly. So most of my days are unplanned, leaving them open for spontaneous escapades (which are hard to come by Mon-Fri).

This term has ended up having many means, although the one I *intended* referred to the fact that most of my employed friends are sick of their jobs, and can't wait to do 'something else'...while I sit and eye the working life from afar. Yes, its true the grass IS greener on the other side.

i know nothing. i can guess, hope, infer, expect...but not know. that's damn frustrating. i think i've never been good with uncertainty (or change) and all of a sudden, life is just that...uncertain. trying to 'enjoy the moments along the journey'...but really, this feels more like waiting at a station for a train that's just not coming (and i even bought my ticketAmishanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277373.post-1074993570654889192004-01-24T20:19:00.000-05:002004-01-24T20:31:53.060-05:00So after reading Karen's latest blog, I had to try out my own World66 travel map.

I realized today that I’m not really that funny. I mean, people have told me in the past that I have the ability to make them laugh...but I don’t think that’s cause I’m funny.

So I contemplate blogging often, but wonder what I really have to talk about. Figure my life is rather uneventful at the moment. A recent conversation however, has inspired me (and it goes a little something like this):
