June 22 Baking in the Sun Finally, some warm weather! After the barrage of rain we have had, I am happy to feel the sun's rays on my skin. I am going to be working on a nice tan this year, instead of being a pale creamy white. I see a lot of people that tan every single day, and I think that's a bit much. But I am not worried about getting skin cancer or something deadly like that because I don't subject myself to intense sun exposure. I just want a nice tan, that's all. The last time I got a burn was about 2 years ago, and even that was not much of a burn.  But this year, I want a nice tan, since every single year since mom passed I have been hiding away, especially from the sun. I am not one to go sun crazy and allow myself to burn like a french fry in the oven, nor am I frightened of the sun to the point where I cover myself up completely and wear suntan lotion like its going out of style and boasting cancer warnings. That's not me.  I am looking forward to catching some rays with my friends, going camping and spending hopefully more than just a few nights under the stars.  Here's to camping, sleeping under the stars, watermelon and lemonade.  May 29 Lots of Rain It has been raining a lot over the past few weeks, especially over the last few days. But it's been wonderful because there is green everywhere and it smells so fresh and new outside. I love the smell of spring rain. There is something so beautiful and simplistic about rain. Listening to rain falling can calm one's bent nerves. So, here's to the glory and beauty of something so simple that we forget when to slow down and take a deep breath. Rain.      April 01 Spring of Change The snow melts into the ground and spring takes a deep breath, blowing the winds of change across the land. The cold recedes as it knows its time is almost up and the shadows are chased away by the dawning sun. A single drop of water, and the earth sighs.  Every time the rain comes down, close my eyes and listen. I can hear the lonesome sound of the sky as it cries. Listen to the rain Here it comes again Hear it in the rain.  December 16 'Tis the Season
'Tis the Season for Giving,
not receiving.
'Tis the Season for Family,
not presents.
'Tis the Season for Sharing,
not going on shopping sprees.
'Tis the Season for Caring,
not spending money on yourself.
Don't forget to be thankful for all that you have, and not get upset because you didn't get an IPod. Don't forget to be thankful that you have a roof over your head, unlike those less fortunate.
And never forget the real meaning behind Christmas. It's not Santa, although we are taught when we were young to believe this.
It's about Christ's birthday, hence the word 'Christ-mas'.
October 28 Cellphones banned while driving
Halloween is right around the corner, with an unexpected suprise. Snow and snowsqualls. It was fucking cold today! And of course, do you think I dressed accordingly? Nope.
Good news is that Ontario has finally woken up and has banned drivers using handheld devices while driving. Took them long enough. Any idiot with a little commen sense has known for years now that cellphones used while driving is a major cause of accidents. I would heavily fine those ignorent assholes driving around, chatting on thier cellphones while driving. I have seen too many idiots doing this. I would heavily fine these assholes, and take off a number of demerit points form their licence. Wanna chat o the phone? Go use a pay phone, or pull over, off the road. Don't put other people's lives at risk because you want to chat. I have no clue what I'm going to do for halloween this year. I have a nasty cold, so my energy levels are down and I'm just feeling pissy.
And, I can't wait to get my new LG DVD player.
October 22 First Snowfall - Surprise!
SNOW Thats right. I woke up yesterday to light flurries. Then about an hour later, it started to collect on the ground. By evening, my area looked like this:
I was shocked! It was cold! I had to dig out my winter jacket! I don't remember seeing anything on this news about the possiblilty of snow! Than again, I didn't watch the news the other night. I just don't remember having snow this early. We haven't even got through Halloween yet!
September 08 Changing Season
It's getting colder at night. The rain is here, along with a suttle wind. Autumn is slowly wrapping its arms of colorful ambience around us. No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace
Honied yellow dripping gold,
Leaf of autumn in the cold
Dancing on in crisp despair
Whirling on enchanted air
Falling silently to earthen tomb
Away from tree's rooted arm
Perhaps the silence broken then
By hollow cries of autumn grief
Synchronized with the falling leaf
 floating from the sky
scarlet leaves of bitterness soon the harvest moon some shrill geese in flight horse chestnuts rolling with final farewells The summer, what summer? September 01 Hurricane Gustov and CNN
Okay, so there's a nasty category 3 hurricane right on the doorstep of New Orleans. FEMA seems to have actually made an effort this time with preparations and emergency evacuations. Including seniors in retirement homes and longterm care facilities. Not like last time, in 2003 when seniors were left to die in their own beds from the massaive flooding after the leeves broke. There actually seems to be some order this time.
But what I find somewhat humorous is the fact that Anderson Cooper from CNN was 'on location' in New Orleans on Friday. CNN has reporters imbeded into certian locations around the Florida Panhandle, and other locations where they think massive destruction will occur. You can't miss them, with their trademark orange rainjackets. It's like they are expecting massive flooding and devistation to occur. I can't blame them in that regard, with what happened with hurricane Katrina. But my problem is that CNN thrives off of this shit. They are like wolves and carrions, waiting to devour any news coverage they can get. You will definatley see it on CNN, breaking news brought to you first by CNN(sigh)! From their overwhelming 24 hr coverage of the presidental race (which I am so sick of) to this hurricane of deadly potential. America failed to protect it's own 3 years ago with hurricane Katrina. Epic fail. Now they are trying to erase those mistakes (which will never happen) by actually sending in the proper help.
I will keep those people who are affected by this hurricane in my prayers, and hope that the States doesn't make a major cluster fuck of the entire thing.
August 29 Ah Shit!Son of a B****!
I feel like crap! And it's putting a major damper on my time with Ian!
I got a nasty headache yesterday afternoon that lasted into the late evening, with me almost worshipping the porclin god. The headache finally went away around 10 pm! I couldn't finish dinner!
Here I am thinking that it could be pms! But this morning, when I woke up, I felt as if a train had hit me! I was coughing last night, took some cough syrup (which worked), rode slight waves of nausea and tried to get as comfortable as possible. I fell alseep around 1 am.
Now I just want to melt in my chair into a pool of green goo. I feel fluish.
Fuck!
 And it's viral too! So whatever goddamn strain I picked up, which was most likely from those assholes at the walk-in clinic last friday, those fuckers who were coughing and sneezing on everyone, it will probably hit me hard but quick. And it has.
I am NOT happy!
See, I don't really have a problem having a virus. I can treat it myself. But it's the nausea and bad fucking timing that's pissing me off! I am about to have a bitch fit!
August 26 Autumn is almost here I think its already here.
The temperatures have been been below sesonal for the past month. Summer came back for only a few days the other week and it didn't stay for all that long either. All of the the 'back to school' commercials have now infested my tv with promises of 'rad deals' and 'cool back to school looks'. It gives me shivers watching these commercials because of how I hated to see them when I was in school. It meant the end of summer. So did the opening day of the CNE. That started somesort of internal hellish countdown in my head. I loved my summer vacations. I always made the most of them and felt odd that I was apart of a heard of thousands of sheep going back to the classroom. Oh how miserable I was at times, expressing my horror and resentment at having to go back.
And yet, I went back. Although it felt like going back to school was some sort of invader to my summer. I remember having dreams about going back to school in the middle of summer. *shivers ....twitch* I got used to it and it didnt seem so bad. Besides, there was thanksgiving and halloween to look forward too. *smirk* I think we are going to have an early winter. Shit.
Welcome!
