Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I never really thought about the title above as much as i have just now.  When I thought about writing this blog, the first thing that came to mind was this title.  It has never ranked to be so true then what it means now at this point in my life.

My memories have been playing a bigger part these days.  I know this won’t be a permanent state – things like this come in waves.   I have been thinking a lot about a past relationship I had.  I dont even know how it started let alone how it ended.  However, there is no point in dwelling.  I just really wish i had a time machine, that’s all.  No biggie.

I feel like i have a story to tell but i can’t start it tonight.  It’s late and Nacho Libre just started.  Maybe tomorrow I can begin explaining a part of me that i never hoped to be a part of me.  Maybe then it could help ease away that part of me that shouldn’t really be part of me… and maybe you could help? haha this is too complex.

Craving a chocolate chip cookie.. but not really… do you know what that feeling is too?

P.s.. do you wish?

Soup for the soul

This morning came too quickly.  The sun hasnt shown it’s face yet.. it’s hidding behind a gray and white blanket.  I don’t like it very much.  Not today at least.  Last night i was kept awake by the couple who lives below me (if my ears serve me right).  They were fighting.. all throughout the night.  This didn’t bother me as much as i thought it would.  In a wierd way it made me feel almost.. comfortable… just because it’s nice to hear that your not the only one who gets into heated arguments that leave you drained with nothing left but the hope for sleep.  It’s exactly like the flu.  A disease.  However you want to describe it.. it’s not good.

Last night I also went out for a bite to eat at a place i had never experienced before.  It’s called Spicy Noodle House on Osborne.  Great place.  The atmosphere was welcoming.  It was a quiet place.  There was only one other table occupied when i got there.  I couldn’t believe i was still on Osborne..  in comparison to the chaos outside but calmness inside.  This was definitely a family runned restaurant.  You could see the appreciation in the owners eyes for coming to sit in their home and try their food.  It was exceptionally well done.  I was served this huge heaping bowl of vegetable soup.  It was incredible and left me smiling for the rest of the evening.  I hope a place like that stays in the Village for a very very long time.

I am also hoping to get a cup of coffee before work so i better get to that.  Today feels like a good day.

ps. i found some great almost rusted yellow leggings.

Making Time

I am finally sitting down with my computer in hand.  I am finally making time to write something down.  I lack commitment to time management.  I need to work on that.

I luckily have a coffee to accompany me.  Concrete Blonde is playing.. I am just getting familiar with the band.  The Lead singer has a gorgeous and powerful voice.  ..Enough said.

The sun is yet again shinning today.  It has been like this for the past 3 days.  March has made it’s way back again and brings glimpses of spring.  This has been one of the most mild winters I can remember.  It’s nice, but it’s also kind of frightening… global warming.

The Olympics are over and all i have to say is how proud i am to live in such a great country.  What a brilliant host Canada was for the world.

Well.. as i try to remember the past couple days i can’t seem to recall anything too important to note… although this is probably because i forgot.  At the moment i have a headache.. it feels like i am beginning to catch some sort of cold… great! (sarcasm).

Really.. the only thing that has been running through my head is how much i would love to escape from this city for a little while.  I think today will consist of paper work and maybe even a random run to value village.  I’ll make something happen.  First I think i should take an Advil or something!

Yesterday I stopped by Into The Music and picked up an old Natalie Merchant CD followed by my first Martha W. CD.  Both so talented… i was inspired to become a singer.  hahahah yeah right.. never!  But you never know right????   Oh that would be such a dream to become a musician.  I can play some chords on the accordion! I’ll work on it.  I would really like to learn the Banjo.. it’s such a wonderful instrument.

Anyways, I might be back later today.  Who knows!  Take care you.

quick post with a toast!

Hello hello

Friday evening begins with sushi and white wine.  I love I love.  Honestly… when I try to think about what happened today I can’t even remember.  However, it was a good day.  Yes.. im sure it was.  I’m so tired.. this is just going to be an awful post.

Time for some jamming,  more wine and friends.  Just wanted to wish you a great Friday evening.

P.s… If you have not checked out Dave Mathews new CD please do.  It’s a pleasure.

peace,

“Paris of the Prairies”

A cold day in the “paris of the prairies” (downie ).  Nevertheless the sun continued to shine all throughout the day.  It was lovely.  The day began with a great breakfast;  omlet, toast, and of course coffee.  This morning I felt organized and prepared for the day.. which i was except for the bus tickets…the missing bus tickets.  I needed to bus to work today.. and as im standing outside at my stop in -35 weather i sooner then later realized i had not purchased my bus tickets! Anyways to make the long story short, i missed my first bus.. ran to 7/11 and ran back to the bus stop.  I made it, and got to work on time.

I work in retail.  I also teach children Taekwondo.  Taekwondo has always been my passion.. retail not so much.  I never thought I would end up making outfits for people but it’s great and im learning a side of me i never thought i had .  What makes my retail job even more great is the staff I work with.  In total there are about seven girls and each one of them are fantastic.  I am truly lucky to work with each one of them.  They all teach me something different.  Not only that.. I work in two areas i appreciate so much.  The exchange district in Wpg and Osborne Village.  I appreciate both those neighbourhoods so much.  They are full of so much character and unique charm that i feel so connected with.  Unfortunately, development in each of these areas is not making much difference for success.. and hindering the rich characteristics these areas have to offer.  IF there is anyone out there who agree’s and knows what im talking about (specifically with Winnipeg but i love learning about other places too) let me know.  I love hearing about development in different forms.  I love WInnipeg, i do, but i just.. don’t understand it.  What i understand seems to be what “development” is either lacking or taking away from the city. Ah I could go on.

Now i have drifted from what i was speaking about before.. that seems to be a very natural thing for me.. in writing and real life.

I was thinking about one of the reasons I started this blog.  Love.

Not to find silly!

Still in search of suspenders.  Still waiting for hints of spring. Also, looking for a job in Victoria BC.. ah i love it there!

Time for cereal.  Take care you.

First one!

Never, ever ever EVER did i think that I would begin my own blog! ..and the greatest part is you don’t know who i am! Its perfect.   My motivation is life and i am determined to push myself and try new things.   I have not written something for myself in a long time.  I think now is a great time to start.  This is just me.. a simple human being trying something completely different.  Who knows what could come of this.  If you are reading this.. i hope you are at least somewhat enjoying yourself.  I am still a bit lost on where to start.. i feel that there are many directions i could go with this.. and for some reason it’s not as easy as I assumed.  Regardless, and no matter how strange i look through these words, here is A.

It’s 10:46pm.  Today was strange.  One of those days where life suprises you.. and then you realize why certain thing happened but yet again are asked.. why is this happening.  It was a rollercoster of a day, but for some reason.. at the end of it all I ended up on here.  Do you (you? who is you? haha im speaking to me!) believe that everything happens for a reason?  Oh, there i go.. but really…… its a serious question.  Maybe one not worth thinking too much of.  Just like life.  It’s best to just enjoy these things.

I m currently in the search for some suspenders.  I have a couple ideas for some outfits… yes, that should be good.

By the way, I love breakfast.  My favorite meal of the day.. so full of everything. I crave coffee most of the day.. black, two splenda’s…. (yea yea sweetner).

I love my bike.  It’s old and brown but beautiful and full of soul.  I finally found it’s basket friend.  This summer should be a blast.  It’s February… I can’t tease myself.  Especially when you live in Canada’s prairies.

Hah..   What a scattered blog.  No direction! It’s perfect.  (not my writing of course, just the form).  I wonder how this will look 5 years from now.  I know I will laugh.

Goodnight.. you..

peace,
