I was in line at Boushey's Market, and talking to a friend. I told him that he should go to weebls_stuff.com online and watch this cartoon called salad fingers. A girl in front of us, (by girl i mean some one my age) turned and was like yeah i saw that! We proceeded to quote parts of it saying "my name is salad fingers and i like rusty spoons" in a creepy british accent. "i like it when the red water runs" she said eerily, "haha that's my favorite line"
Wow that was so random. What are the chances that i would acctually meet some one who went to the same random site as i did? there is at least 9 billion web sites on the web!
any ways, i think i made a link to that one already, in "rainy day links" so check it.

My Goodness!
I just realized that I haven't been doing my "today's lesson" for quite a while. Probably a couple of months ago! I promise I will get right back into that! B/c they are quite funny. Take a gander at some of my old posts if you feel I don't post often enough. (Felix)
Actually, forgetting about the lesons is reflective of the rest of my life, recently. I don't just do the "today's lesson" because they are fun, but also because being able to learn something from everything you do in life is very important. A while ago, perhaps around the time that this blog was born, I was packing for a spiritual journy. Then, somehow, the business of university life made me forget. The link here is that spiritualism is about learning about the world and ones self. (i think). Only recently, when I was called selfish, did I remember.
Actually, it wasn't that smooth. I initially went, "what a jerk, i'm not selfish!" but then some thinking led me to relize that i am (sometimes ;) haha. Any ways this opened me up for a topic of discussion on my favorite radio station, cbc radio 1. The guest was David (??) Thurman, (the actress Uma Thurman's father), who was once a Budhist monk, and is now a philosophy prof, in some uni. Any ways, that interview sorta made me realize that I really went of track here. So much so that for the past year and a half I never even thought about actively persuing my spirituallity.
I did go see the Dalhi Lama when he was in Ottawa. Also, i did think about the time i was reading a great book, by Lama Surya Das, but got stolen before i was done, but neverthe less got me on the track (or at least made me aware of a track) in the first place.
But that was nothing really. That wasn't me actually trying to be a good human. That was me forgetting to learn. Boo.
Any who, this means that "Today's lesson" is back.

Single, Like a Cheese Slice
You know, being a cheese slice isn't bad at all. Infact I really do like being a cheese slice, especially since I really like cheese.
See, Kraft Singles are never alone, because there are other Kraft Singles out there too. If there are none in the fridge then there are many at your nearest Loblaws.
Cheese slices come in packages and sometimes people aren't careful and tear the cheese slice. Even tho the cheese slice may be hurt, even torn in two, it'll be okay. The cheese slice has to learn to leave the plastic wrapper in the trash where it belongs and move onto healthy whole wheat bread. In the frying pan the cheese slice melts, and with time, becomes whole again. Not just fixed but changed; the cheese slice becomes the grilled cheese sandwich. And baby, no one can resist that!
And don't forget that cheese is addictive, (concentrated molecules mimicking morphine), so sooner or later there will be someone who needs a fix, and the Crafty Single can pick and choose between the wine, the olive, and the pickle. (Hell, I'll take a little of everything!)
