Rambling Asian

it really was today – i broke out a jacket i hadn’t worn since, well, since spiderman 3.

but it isn’t going to last… sigh…

well, a few interesting things on Monday:

- it took me forty minutes to get home today – almost half the time it normally takes me to get home – seems like the Tamil protest may have contributed to this.

- i still have not won a single thing from roll up the rim to win. i think i’m seriously 0-16 or something like that, even though my co-worker liz did give me her free coffee – not that i actually drink coffee.

- cold case last night was intense – however, had too many twists and turns – if he got shot, he got shot. period. no need to expand on all the shit with the homie and his kid brother.

- believe it or not, i am now addicted – yes, like chris rock says – addicted to taylor swift’s album. it’s a painful, painful addiction, unfortunately.

i will write some more tonight, after i join a mock focus group. i guess i will just get mocked. sigh.

well, i hope that is the case… i have my writing mojo back.

life is unabashfully busy, and i have kinda settled into a routine – i don’t know if it’s a good routine or not, but it’s definately a routine.

i’m giving myself a goal of having at least three quality things to write about a week (not that there isn’t).

at least my drive in to work tomorrow will be easy – with march break and all.

i’ll be back (i promise)… i hope…

since i haven’t written in a while make that a long while, i think i should start off on one of my rare days off… some random thoughts from my journey today:

(1) my left arm is completely numb and taunt after getting a tetanus show, while my right arm is completely loose after four vials of blood being emptied – that is wierd.

(2) more people recognized my chrome bag than anything else today at the auto show – three girls came up to me asking me about it. i think that’s a record – more than the one person who came up to me asking what the hell i was doing shooting with the canon 10-22mm lens, but that is a different matter.

(3) there really wasn’t that many exciting cars out this year – except for the Impreza from Subaru – i think it was a misprint, but they were showing it under 20k… anyways, looks like it’s the car to buy now…

(4) a day off was well warrented (that’s pretty obvious)…

(5) and it’s only a matter of time before GM and Chrysler bow down… but I have to say that Chrysler’s exhibit looked dead compared to last year (is that a sign to come?) while GM’s looked more lively… daresay more lively than Ford’s.

rush hour traffic is awful… and i’m traveling against the typical traffic flow.

there’s always at least one driver on my 50km/trip commute to work in mississauga that travels in the fast lane going 60km/h when they can easily do 120km/h. or the one driver who decides to cut into your lane going half the speed everyone else does, causing a near rear end collision as you try to brake in time.

if that doesn’t cause enough stress to cause a heart attack, i don’t know what does.

i graduated.

not that it really matters at this stage.

a piece of paper doesn’t stop me from hyperventaliating.

nor does nba live 09 freezing on me.

you’ll see more random stuff in the upcoming weeks.

until then. dream.

because girls have five year plans, and guys don’t. wtf?
