Today when feeling overwhelmed I went back into my memories and found happiness remembering the sunrise at Victoria, BC. On my last morning in Victoria I went for the sunrise and said outloud a promise to return. That was happiness. Not a soul awake but me, with all the glory of the sun, ocean, and the elements on my face. And the colour. I ( Read more... )

Lisa Marie arrives tomorrow and stays for ten days. My family in Toronto is tripping over themselves to be first in line to invite themselves over to meeting her. How they lack the tact to first of all wait to be invited, and second fail to see that it's inappropriate to introduce stress into our time together which we get so rarely is beyond me ( Read more... )

This will probably be my last post on Livejournal. I haven't decided if I'll save my previous entries to my computer, or just delete them. Every year or so I debate the same thing with my sent emails. A person whose LJ I used to read deleted his journal, and it saddened me. He said that a journal's objective nature when shown to the world like ( Read more... )

First day of school. I literally skipped my first class because I got there late thinking it started at 10am when it started at 9am. My second class was a seminar that went well enough, nobody apparently knew anyone else. With regards to the tsunami one of the WorldVision kids I used to sponor lives in Thailand. He's 13, and I wonder if he's ( Read more... )

Another glowing indicator of the effects of post 9/11 American policy can be found here. A man I greatly respect had this to say about the results from Cornell University ( Read more... )

I was really upset this morning when I noticed. I probably swore fifty times. I bought that shirt when I worked at Calaway Park four or five years ago, it was way ( Read more... )

Contributed to Wiki a bit this morning. Located a lost category called 'Political advocacy groups in Canada' that was unconnected to the Canada entries. Re-connected it, and filled it in with important organizations like the Council of Canadians and the Fraser Institute. Got new furniture. Wrapped and gave Christmas present to Asma, my new ( Read more... )

I think the ballad of Dave and Lisa Marie is coming to an end. Yes, yes, this boy has cried wolf before, but I can articulate why this time. I have a very strong desire to volunteer my labour on organic farms for a period of many months. And to take a break from the relentless worry of "what am I doing with my life" ala post-secondary education ( Read more... )

Today is one of those very, very rare days that I feel genuinely proud of myself. Today I created two Wikipedia articles in addition to my usual daily editing. The two created are:

• The David Suzuki Foundation
• The Maquila Solidarity NetworkI'm also proud of yesterday adding to the Stockwell Day and Stephen Harper pages information about their ( Read more... )
