lazy

I won't bother watching television if I can't find the remote control. It's not because I'm too lazy to get up and flick the channel, its that I'm too lazy to stand there for 5 minutes and find something I like. I don't deserve to be entertained.

small packages

I was standing on a bus yesterday and I heard through someone's earphones the rankins (?). I looked over and saw a couple sitting together sharing the phones while the man was touching the woman's pregnant belly. They were talking into each other's ears and smiling (which seemed odd since their music was loud enough) but in the mean time made me smile too.

Unlicensed Stupidity

If you have $4300 to have a license plate made with the word TAN imprinted on it than you were too bitter growing up as a child and you have no understanding of the world's poverty situation. How are you so rich and so stupid?

fall.

I watched the mix of leaves in the trees as I was taken home to my parents for Thanksgiving dinner. Half were green and the rest monochromatic orange colours. The trees had begin to cut off the nutrient supply to their own life support in preparation for the winter and I fully appreciated the pretty scene.

We walked up to my old elementary school and realized we couldn't pull ourselves up on the bars anymore and I couldn't find any salamanders underneath the rocks.

Dinner was served and I laughed during grace. It wasn't my fault, Ren, our foreign guest was caught off-guard and bowed his head, clasping his hands with the bowl of broccoli perched on top. It's a good thing we aren't really that catholic.

There are many great cooks in my life and I love all of their creations but I fully enjoyed my mum's dinner the most. No one puts on a better veggie show than her, her traditional roast diinners are among the most colourful and delicious and canadian things you can decorate a plate with. Hats off, ma.
