Can You Hear the Melody Through the Dissonance?

Wow, so in each of our lives a little rain must fall. Sometimes it's an april shower and sometimes it's a flipping monsoon. Well, kids, I got the granddy of them all!

But, a few days out of it and I have to say I'm feeling better. I can see clearly, and I have no resentment. I loved the past 18 months and there's nothing more to it than that!

I could vent, I could cry, I could do all sorts of evil things in retaliation, but, the truth of the matter is, "Everyone wants to love and be loved." I love my IHCB and I don't think that will ever change. I just never knew that the extent of my love would require me to let go.

Maybe we're not done for.
Maybe there's a tomorrow.
Maybe life's too short to resign to the one you love.
But, then again... maybe it's not.

Whispers in the Hall

After leaving RTH, I've been hearing the whispers in the hall on what a bag Laney Parkinson (name changed to "protect" identity) is. It's so enjoyable to hear about how the staffers like her just as much as I did.

Now as I move on, the stories waft my way from people who used to be associated with her. It is like a gorgeous perfume of vindication!

First step of vindication is my sweet new job, second step was the stories, and third step will be when I can finally remove her face from my mind.

How to Help When You Don't Have Cash!

Today, as I lie ill in bed, I get the need to do something productive.
Yes, I may be dizzy, but, I can't sit around and do nothing anymore!

So I started to sort my clothes and I decided to donate my clothes to an organization for the betterment of all.
I called up The Canadian Diabetes Foundation, as I know people who suffer, I thought it would be a fitting donation. Go to the website, call them up, schedule a pick up and it's done. Click here

Excerpt from "An Open Letter to Dr. Phil"

Toronto Star, February 1st.

"And, no offence, but for somebody who launched The Ultimate Weight-Loss Challenge, you seem to have conducted many midnight therapy sessions with glazed goods.

Doughnut: 'Dr. Phil, I can't shake this feeling that you're about to eat me.'

You: 'I am going to eat you, Doughnut. And do you know why? Because you're delicious and you're weak.' "

Oh Dr. Phil, I'm sure you're a great guy, but, there's something so great to read a letter by someone who feels the same way I do.

Open Letter to Motorists in Yorkville

Please, can you look before speeding around corners. In the past month, I've almost gotten run over crossing on a Walk Light A MILLION TIMES.

Just because you drive an obnoxious little Audi that looks like a squished smartie from behind, or your just purchased your first pre-owned BMW SUV, remember right on red is not a right.

If the light says "Walk" it doesn't mean it's target practice.

Using your car's ability to go from 0 to 60 in 3.1 seconds just to catch a yellow light 40 meters away always is a bad idea. I promise, it'll be red by the time you get to the corner, and I'll probably be crossing the street.

On Hoskin Ave, when the light at the student crosswalk is red. You have to stop, even if there's only one person crossing. Slowly rolling through is wrong and so is knicking pedestrians as they walk around your vehicle.

What else?

Stop signs mean stop, even if you're driving a $70,000 vehicle and it's on that side street that runs past Sassafraz.
