- Friendships are like stars, they can be far away but still touch the deepest part of your heart
- It takes self-understanding, self-realization, and self-acceptance to be all that you are yesterday... better today
- Unconditional Love may only be 17 letters long, but bear a meaning far beyond the letters can explain; it means giving all of yourself and that of which you didn’t know existed in you to show someone else how much you care for them and accepting that through their wrongs and detours you will still always be there caring
- Daffy Duck has a severely foul mouth and Bugs Bunny isn’t as funny as he used to be when I was a kid
- I really miss having a dog (well I didn’t actually learn that – but came to re-realize that watching Marley & Me)
- God may be there calling me again (thanks *friend*) and this time I might just be ready to listen
- I am counting to my 25th Timmy’s and it’s official that I have no luck
- Disappointment helps you to learn who you are and in turn, makes you grow and mature into a better person. Focussing on the disappointment will trap you in one place and that place is never a good one
- There’s a Taiwanese boy who can sing Whitney Houston better than Whitney Houston
- There are 300 calories for every 27 Cheetos – a bowl typically can hold about 81 which equates to about 900 calories
- There is 330 mg of salt in a hot dog (Shopsy’s Brand)
- Tomorrow will never come and yesterday will never return
- If there's fight left in you, keep fighting, even if the silver lining is not visible
- Sake is really deceiving, you won't feel it, until you stand up

Things I Learnt This Weekend (And Two Days)
New Pod
If I can find my camera amidst my organized chaos, I'll take some pictures and upload them...
Place is great - landlords are AWESOME - some of the best people I've ever met and generous too.
I love waking up to a routine that doesn't include screaming children, screaming freeloader and a house that could very well be featured in the next "Hoarders" episode.
I also love the fact that I can come home to a clean place, not have to try and run away from children who have a keen eye for harassment and cook a real meal, and sit down and eat it - without feeling like I'm in the way - or people are in my way.
Finally feels like my life has just began - woo hoo to our new pod and some exciting times ahead :)
.... I wouldn't mind having a couch and my 42" TV though :P

Remember the Time?
Do you remember the last Christmas that Santa was real?
Or the tooth fairy would grant you a dollar for your baby teeth?
How about when the twinkle of the stars was no longer Neverland happy thoughts
And when Prince Charming didn't rescue Snow White because she wasn't asleep
It appears... every happily ever after must die; and die must every happy soul.

An Enlightenment
How can children grow up to be respectable human beings if thei parents do not take the responsibility in ensuring their upbringing teaches them what respect is.
When everything in a child's life becomes an option or request there no longer exists standards and requirements.
This starts the slippery slope that they have the right to do as they please regardless of the consequences. I live with two kids who are starting to exhibit traits of two people who are going to be a menace to society instead of a positive contribution. It's sad when one of the parents who should act as a role model is nothing but a free loader with no goals or plans in life except to be a leach. We definitely need less of those in this already chaotic world.

Paternal Betrayl
I have a father, sad to say, who thinks that by never being there in my childhood and then abandoning my brother and I to start another family is his definition of being a good father.
He shamelessly believes that his good for nothing home wrecker companion is in the right to threaten his own daughter with matters that are family ties. She is nothing but a foreigner - intrusive - in the most polite terms and she feels that she is noble enough to speak up about my relationship with my father because it is negatively affecting her mood.
I have a warning for any fathers out there that feel that neglect and lack of attention for your children will be rewarded by respect from them when they grow up. You are wrong. If you never gave them a reason to respect you and look up to you, they will not.
And a warning to those selfish, me-first attitude people out there who think you can take whatever you want and not suffer the consequences. Breaking up another's family is not something to be prideful of - you have done nothing but destroyed your own damned integrity.
My anger spews out towards all those conceited individuals out there that take no responsibility for their own actions and feel that they deserve a pat on their back for doing nothing to better this world.
SHAME ON YOU!
Today - that is my rant.
Tomorrow - I will tell you what I learnt about the Automotive Industry

Be Like Me
There are people so desperate for the approvals of others that they will go out of their way to look just like them... except what they don't realize is what a complete idiot they turn out to be and end up losing even more of the little respect they originally had.
I don't need to put names to incidences... but let's just say I came to work today to find that I had a supposed twin. And needless to say, I was not amused. I laughed just a little bit as not to stir up trouble. But I laughed.

730
I went for a drive to clear the congestion in my head.
I got on the highway and for about 6 exits all that was in front of me was congestion. Almost 1/2 hour stuck in traffic at 11:00pm.
If you can't laugh at the ironies in my life, I don't know what else there is to do.
I drove to Ajax and decided gas was $102.9 last I checked and I did not want to pay so much to gas up. I turned around and my street is also CONGESTED... everybody's cars were parked on the road because their drive ways were being paved.
Seriously.

Facetious Life
You know clowns are supposed to make people laugh - their life (or at least work life) is nothing much but a big laughable joke.
Today I found out, mine [non-work] life it nothing but a facetious remark in the grand scale of time. Ironically my work life is what's giving me purpose. Nothing else.
God expressed his sense of humor in assembling a creature that is a little bit mammal (the platypus, a native to Australia, produces milk and is furry), a little bit reptile (it lays eggs and has venom, released from spurs in the hind legs) and a little bit bird (eggs again, plus it has a bill like a duck as well as webbed feet). He needed a human version and he made me.

103.5 and Empty
8:22am Gas tank empty
8:27am Sunoco @ 95.6
8:33am Started car after "filling" $10 at $103.5. Gas light still on.
8:34am Re-started car, gas light... still on.
9.56 litres of gas got me from VERY empty to empty.
At least my car is supposed to go at least 100 km on 10 litres of gas. SUPPOSED to.

Today felt like one of those United Way commercials. Gas to get to work, or eat. No choice but to to go work...
... in this economy...
