I have been in Montreal for the past few days looking after my dad. That is a whole wonderful story in itself, but not the one that I want to share. Anyhow, my dad had a day of rehab, so I decided to take myself to the Science Centre in Montreal to see the plasticized corpses ( Read more... )

Well, I have finished my foray into bluesfest. I wouldn't say that it was my best bluesfest. Those people who I felt would blow me away, didn't this year. Those I underestimated, blew me away. The only group that met my usual high expectations was Blackie and the Rodeo Kings. Greg and I stood in the rain watching the show and it was great. The band ( Read more... )

It has been a long time since I have posted an update, so I suppose that it is about time. I have been really spending a lot of time integrating everything that I learned at my silent retreat to the spiritual path that I am following. So, I have been doing some reading on shamanism and eastern philosophy. I have also been doing some rituals and ( Read more... )

I know that I haven't posted in a while, but this deserves a post. Kurt Vonnegut Died. That really makes me sad. He really influenced me in my teenage years. He taught me to appreciate the quirkiness of life. He taught me how to look at pain and to find the funny side of it. I will truly miss him.

Now the we both know the answer to life, the universe and everything, shall we finally take over the world. What better endeavour is there for us, my evil twin?

Love you alot!!

I got back yesterday from my 10 day silent meditation retreat. I have to say that it was the hardest thing that I have ever done in my life, yet it was also the most rewarding. I have never worked so hard in my life. I really threw myself into the experience and gave it everything I had. You know, it is very difficult to write about the experience ( Read more... )

I have to say that this was the best Xmas season that I have had for years! I had a wonderful time with my family and got to connect with my nieces and nephews. I also didn’t experience any major emotional upsets this year. I would say that the best part was meeting my great-nephew who is 5 years old and a real sweetie ( Read more... )

I just received the acceptance of an application I made to go on a 10 day silent meditation retreat in February. I am so excited! I have always dreamed of doing such an activity. I am also a bit apprehensive about the experience. What worries me is not so much the silence (you are not even allowed to gesture), but the fact that I can't even bring a ( Read more... )

I am soooo sorry mamabare, I kept thinking about your birthday and wondering when it was, but never got around to asking anyone. Can you forgive me? You are never far from my thoughts. I hope that you were spoiled on your birthday and I can't wait to see you.

Over the past few weeks, I have had the experience of feeling what it like to be in constant pain. I am not talking about little twinges, but constant throbbing pain from a toothache. Last month I went to the dentist for a teeth bleaching and was told that this would cause some sensitivity. Well, after two weeks, there was some pain, but nothing a ( Read more... )
