Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.
Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.
Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?
In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Most people say that is it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.
Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing.
Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
The devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in life. Either we suffer in health or we suffer in soul or we get fat.
The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.
True religion is real living; living with all one's soul, with all one's goodness and righteousness.
We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.

Today's Radio Show...
30 Chick Flicks in 30 Days
I was about to change the radio station when this topic came up, but I couldn't be bothered and glad I left it.
In summary a married couple (real story) went on this venture to watch 30 chick flicks in a month. I thought the consensus from the guy (who was interviewed) would be that overall they were cheesy and too stereotypical. But he saw past Hollywood, which was a breath of fresh air.
He concluded that to maintain a success relationship you need 3 key factors (amongst the obvious ones)
1) Forgiveness - not just between man and woman, but in life
2) Vulnerablility - allowing yourself to love so much that you let the other person (now talking about the relationship) to enter 100% into your heart so that you let them love you and in turn, risk being hurt by them too. But without this vulnerability you will never truly learn to be a part of something
3) Friendship - this one quite straight forward
It was nice to hear it from the guy who actually said by sharing these 30 days with his wife, he's managed to turn into a better man. He said his wife has noticed that he's no longer doing the things that hurt her, is more attentive - listens well - and funnily - has become a better kiss because he's aware of her non-vocal signs.
I guess it's nice to know that a seemingly stupid social experience could help improve a marriage.
There is hope for love afterall.

Things that SEVERELY Rile Me
http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/article/749478--traffic-cop-holds-up-speeding-surgeon?bn=1
Here is a CARDIOLOGIST, got paged, rushing to the hospital to save someone's life and the stupid cop decides it is to his advantage to hold him (probably for at least 15 minutes) to write him a ticket...
What is wrong with this picture????
And the worst part is - the division "defends" his decision by saying the cop probably stopped the doctor from getting into an accident... RIGHT... because that's what the cop was REALLY thinking.
I wonder - if it was off-duty cop that was pulled over, what would the end story be. I think they would have shared some lame joke about donut runs and would have been on their way.
Just because you are a cop, doesn't give you the right to abuse your privileges - if I could only count the number of cops I've seen turn on their sirens just to get through the intersection and then leisurely drive off without a care in the world. Why do we need cops if none of them are doing their jobs anyway?????

Jersey Boys
Frankie Valli (not with a Y with an "i"!), Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito, Nick Massi.
Blue collar boys who hit it BIG.
Very interesting story of how they came to be, the struggles they went through and their final triumph to success - a story from each of the 4 boys' perspective.

Why Are There Dumb Drivers
So... yesterday, on my way home from work, my light turned green, so naturally I went ahead to accelerate to meet speed limit (70 km/h) at which point some woman at the intersection wanting to turn right (into on coming traffic) makes a last minute decision to do so in a 4 cyclinder car - then needs to get ALL the way to the left lane (4 lanes across) to make the left at the light about 200 meters away. I had already reached about 70 kim/h she had trouble cutting me off and was very tight in making her left turn. I looked over to find her swearing at me and giving me the finger.
Is there something wrong with this picture? This woman cuts ME off, doesn't have the sense to know not to try and cut traffic like that in rush hour and then proceeds to cuss at me.
Stupid woman. All I could do was shoot her a big smile - I think that pissed her off even more.

My New Tat
I think it's self explanatory...
#2 & #3 to follow... in probably a few months if not a [100] few years!
Portraits
Today I had the privilege of attending the taping of the Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos. This man is very, very cool and down earth.
He spoke with Joe Clarke (previously taped hence no pic) and Eugene Levy.
Mirror to the Soul
I can show you all the beauty you possess if you would only let yourself believe.
Why When I
We don't exist upon your wallBut I am to assume I mean the world
There is no urgency in us
But I am to assume it is everything
I am not allowed into your heart
But I am to assume all that is there
I am not allowed to understand
But I am to assume it all makes sense
We don't glimmer in your eyes
But I am to assume together forever
We used to calm my soul
When the world wreaked havoc
We became the havoc
That wreaked my soul
We used to be taken lightly
Because there was no real future
We used to pass aimlessly
Because there was no need to think twice
But here we are, we are breaking
I am to assume I unwound the strings
For the things that were wounded
Were never as I desired
Here we are falling
Into a never ending cycle
I am to assume I want too much
That when I speak I cause a mental eruption
We break my heart
When we seem to have no priority
When we seem to just get by
When I must list all the reasons without rhyme or reason or help or support that you want exactly what I want; when all I've done is spoken, and expressed, and pleaded, and asked, and fell on my knees and begged.
When I assume, I am wrong.
But I am but to assume the best intentions.
Walk A Little....
Walk a little further, your destiny is just ahead.
Little boy, don't fret the dying sun.
The morning rays soon follow.
When you awake again little boy
A whole new day awaits.
Shadows of the Day
Shadows lurk in my four corners
Never letting me rest in peace.
Haunted by the other's past
Darkness hangs like humid dew.
Today my eyes were finally opened.
Why am I being punished when I did not make the mistakes?
How have I become the scapegoat in a life that needs more re-structuring than the twin towers.
A part of me boils with severe anger,
yet ther other part has resolved to the fact that maybe this is how it will always be:
haunted by the half truths.
Am I right to sigh and feel discouraged?
Or is there hope that all half lies have a stronger half truth that may, somehow, rectify the wrong half.
My mind is running in a circle.
One that had no beginning and will certainly not have an end.
