HAIKU!!

After a not so intimate and detailed discussion with my sister about poetry, I've decided to set a goal. I shall write a haiku every day about my day. I believe it will be an entertaining and frontal-lobe stimulating way to remember things. Without any further ado, here is my first haiku.

Covered a friend's shift
Stroke symptoms mean overtime
Pizza Luce rocks

is it st. patty's day or st. paddy's day?

Never I mind about the abbreviation of tomorrow's festival, I'll be at work. And the next day too, so I can't even get shattypantsed. And I'm over it. Today was probably one of the most productive days I've ever had, like ever. Consisting of:

Meeting at work
Picked up grad school catalogue from the U (just looking...)
Enjoyed the weather at Como Park
Went poem-hunting
Bought a new bike
Joined my co-op (by far the most expensive bag of groceries I've ever had)

I enjoy my new bike. It's not flashy at all, very simple and very very LIGHT. Technically I am going to say I bought it with my investment monies from Mayo that they sent me in a check. I always enjoy random monies. That check gets deposited on Wednesday.

Now, fairly exhausted, I'm watching Pocahontas with my cup of nightly tea. I have become so predictable and, well, boring. I'm starting to love it.

On a side note, I recently watched Australia. Though unbelievably long, I found it enjoyable and not just because of Hugh Jackman. He sure helped though.

while anticipating my tax return....

Saw this at Northern Sun today, thought it was interesting.

With my tax return this year I plan to do three primary things and probably a lot more secondary things but these are my priorities: 1)Buy a new pair of glasses, 2)Join my co-op, and 3)Put $$ in savings. Eventually I need to renew my MPR membership too. I'm so old. And fuck-it all, because Jillian lost out on The Bachelor.

Also, how do I get rid of this box thing??

Children.....

are loud, overwhelming, often sticky, and I don't want anything to do with them permanently. With that, I got a little misty when I found out about this. Finally :)

another nursing "duh"

Common sense works? What?

random songs make for good posts

for some unknown reason i am attracted to this song/video. maybe it's because of the neato prism-y animation or the catchy synthesizer. maybe because the singer sounds like James Mercer from the Shins. or maybe it's because it sounds like a mouse is singing in the background. all i know is i heard it on the current at 11:30ish last night and it has been in my head ever since.

in other news, i really need to start running again.

something is just not right

And I'm not sure what it is yet. Right now I couldn't have a better situation: job, home, pet, life in order. But it's missing something. I've daydreamed a lot about my old job and the people I worked with and how awesome it was to go to work despite the long drive and hefty commitments. I'm pretty sure my nostalgia is overshadowing my current life/job/etc. Occasionally I think about how I would pull off packing everything up and moving down south to Roch or whatever to obtain what I abandoned, but then the logical side of me says that things will never be the same as they were. All of that being said, I want to elaborate on my mental life plan (because I have one always in my head at all times) to incorporate activities that I enjoyed "back then" and adapt them to my life now. Examples....?....public health, volunteering, and eventually career advancement. I've discovered a lot of little holes in my life and clearly I need to fill them one way or another, however cliche it might be.

And now, shout out to Lee from the Third Street Hi-Fi, who I was informed passed away recently....what an awesome vinyl music dude/beautiful human being he was.....
