Yes, it's true... Two posts in one day but I was motivated by a friend's blog today. She wrote a blog entitled "lot's of good people in the world". In this blog she posted 10+ statements about people in her life and never telling which statement was directed at whom. It was great. So please find your names on the left and try to match it to the statement that best applies to you. Okay I'm totally kidding. But I will post some statements now.
1. You are a breath of fresh air in a smog ridden city.
2. Your strength simply amazes me. I wish I had half as much strength as you.
3. You are the most supportive and loving person I have ever met. How did I get so luck as to have you in my life?
4. Your wit astounds me. You should consider standup.
5. Your perseverance and willing to endure to the end is simply incredible. You never quit! I love it!
6. You deserve the best, go get it! With all your heart take what you deserve!!
7. We need to be neighbours so we can quilt, write journals, have our children be best friends... You are awesome!
8. Machine. No other word describes you. You are able to the work of ten and still keep going. Where the heck do you get your energy? Do you have an IV of red bull??
9. You are one of the most honest people I know. Don't change that... Even if people get mad.
10. I wish you could stand up for yourself more. I see so much strength and so much spirit in you. Take a stand and do not let people walk all over you. You are a beautiful person with so much to offer... Find your voice.
11. We have lost touch and I am sad. I miss hearing your voice.
12. Shock and awe... Shock and awe.
13. You are the most free spirited person. You do what is in your heart and do not take crap from anyone. Good on ya but chill out sometimes... Not everyone means to hurt you.
14. We need to hang out more. I miss the good talks we've shared. It's sad we do not talk as much or at all anymore. You have helped me through so much.
15. You live your life without question. You see what you want and you take it. You live life by your rules and no one else's. I love you!
16. Confusion about life befalls us all but listen to your spirit and what it is trying to tell you. Do what is right.
17. We think the same... I like that.

Ring On My Friend.. Ring on...
We all have mobiles and if you don't you have probably contemplated getting one. I got my first mobile phone when I was, well it was long enough ago that I can't remember, and I loved my phone. This was not my first encounter with the likes of technology. For some unknown reason I acquired a pager when I was just out of highschool or just about to graduate. I thought I was cool, others thought I was a drug deal... Maybe I was both, I guess you'll never know. The one thing that sucked about having a pager is not having the quarter or phone nearby to call and check the message or call the person back. So, like the Jefferson's, I was movin' on up.
It was probably in 99 that I got my first mobile phone and like the pager I thought I was totally cool and others again, thought I had other motives. I was fascinated with the freedom it gave me and that anyone could get a hold of me whenever and wherever, especially in an emergency. It's awesome, I can call the transit number and see how long I have to wait for the bus while freezing my can off in the winter time. It's wonderful. Being able to call and see when the bus is coming is my favorite part of having this phone. Most people acquire mobile phones with business or if for personal use it is only for emergencies. How long did it take you before you broke that rule? I'll be honest, it was all about the cool factor. It's like "Oh don't write your number on paper, I'll just put it in my phone".
Now phones have these great camera's, MP3 players, and what's even better is you can download any ring tone you want. I have downloaded a few... Let's see, Bohemian Rhapsody, Madonna, and I love my current ring tones... Yes I have two... I have programmed them to ring when specific people call. I currently have: Sexyback and Love Generation. I love these songs and I even dance to them when someone calls... But I'm weird like that. Ring tones are hilarious because we all want these great songs on our phone when people call us but the funny part about this is the reaction. Not from those around us but the owners of the mobile. For example, I was on my way to school this morning, riding the big blue limo (public transit) and this guy's mobile phone starts to ring, I was trying to make out the song but it was some rap crap music. The funniest part about it was his reaction to his phone ringing. I don't think I have ever seen someone try to answer their phone so fast and quiet the 'music'. I have seen others do this and I have done it too. Why? I really am not sure. But my advice is this... If you like the music let it ring on my friend... ring on!

Winter is Upon Us.
The first sign of winter is generally the first frost or snowfall. Being in a prairie province (Alberta) there are not four seasons but only two: winter and construction. The season of construction allows you to wear whatever you want and as little of it.
I have to disagree with the first sign of winter. The first sign of winter is the appearance of down jackets, gloves and toques (beanies for all you yanks out there). Now this appearance is not all together an attractive one. Jackets are generally big and puffy which, if you are girl, completely hide your most promising qualities. I am one of those people who refuses to believe it's cold outside. I will wear a light jacket to the last possible moment. I truly do find winter to the most unattractive season as far as fashion is concerned.
This appearance of down jackets and gloves and toques makes it hard to recognise the attractiveness of a person of the opposite sex. Just think about it for a second, you are on the ski hill and watching the great moves of another person whom you think is the opposite sex of you. Upon realisation (after you hit on them) you see that this person was in fact the same sex as you. With feelings of extreme embarassment you walk away cursing yourself under your breath because you mistook someone for the opposite sex as you. Not only that, but you seriously question your own sexuality.
