Today I finally got around to watching the debate; the enlish one, at least. I must admit that I fell asleep during the third theme, but woke up just in time to here the fourth, about unity and sovreinty. One question was asked what the leaders would do if the Bloc won an election and declaired themselves their own country (despite the fact that it's against the law nationally and internationally). Gilles Duceppe said that he would negotiate with the rest of Canada, and that he would seperate. This made made Martin sooo upset and told Duceppe that he would never be aloud to seperate Quebec form his family (who grew up there). While saying this, Duceppe looked strait at the all the Canadians (at least the Quebec ones :) ) with a look on his face as if to say "My God, look at this crazy mother fucker!" i thought it was funny.
I actually quite like Gilles Duceppe and his political views, except of course his most valued view which is to seperate. but aside from that i think he's cool and agree most of the time.

Bus Serise #3 The Elderly
As stated in one of the comments, some bus drivers can be reckless. Although I personally prefer that the driver goes fast, he must pay some attention to the fact that there are elderly pepole taking the bus.
On one occasion, I was riding the bus whose model has a single seat right behind the bus driver's pit. These buses are not very common, but on this day an old lady happend to get on this type of bus. She chose to sit on this lone elivated chair which requires a step to mount.
The bus driver took no heed and drove quickly around the corners. Most where left turns, pushing her into the seat. But one was a right turn thrusting her out of the seat and landing on the ground. Of course every one on the bus rushed to her aid. She turned out to be fine, but the vibe on the bus was obviously that this bus driver was in the wrong, especially for not moving from his seat, nor making any appology.

Bus Series #2 Donaughts and Cigarettes
Another reason I like taking the bus, is because you never know when something's going to happen.
The other day, I was on my way downtown, and when there is no one else on the bus, the bus drivers usually asks if i'm going to Hurdman, which i always am. So they take me, and this bus driver was no different.
But I'm lying because he was different...maybe it was the whole work to rule, but non the less still illigal, he pulls out a cigarette and smokes it! He's not hiding it, not blowing it out the window, and not giving to shits. Just thought that was funny.
In telling this to my friend Ryan, he told me an equally funny story, which happend around the same time. Taking the very first bus in the morning, he came to Hurdman, and to his delight, a bus was doing donaughts in the parking lot in the middle of a snow storm. A BUS!
Today's Lesson: Bus driver's are ppl too: they like donaughts, coffee and cigarettes.

Bus Series #1: Window-Licker
Today I saw Window-Licker on the bus and reminded myself that I wanted to write a blog about him. I had not gotten around to it, but since there are several bus stories I wish to tell you about, I think I will start with this one.
I got on the bus one day to make my way downtown, as I do regularily. November happends to be a messy time of year, and OC Transpo is forever in dept and so cleans buses minimally. By this you would expect that windows might get quite dirty. Well on this particular bus, the windows where dirty on the out side, making it hard to see, but also frost on the interior prohibited vision further.
The bus was quite full, and i stood, looking at this one particular man who was so thin that he just floated in his clothing. A real bum. Real sad looking. So here I am feeling sorry for the poor guy, who pokes his head around like a pigeon would, when he decides he needs to see out this window. He uses the side of his fist -pinky-side to the window -and removes the frost. But this doesn't matter since there is still dirt on the other side.
He is defeated. But apon noticing that his hand is dirty (visible at my rang) he begins to lick his hand! And KEEPS licking, even after he sticks out his tongue in distaste and makes a scrunchy face. No word of a lie, I was gagging, seriously resisting the urge to throw-up on the bus. I imaging the flavor of dirt and random people's oils and sweat must taste something along the lines of bitter salty. Some flavor, anyhow, that I think would prompt most individuals to halt licking -even those who would delve to actually lick it in the first place!

Extra! Extra!
Just to give you an update, incase you only read my blogs, but don't look at the side columns...
there is a new poll which i would like all of you to take part in. i am thinking about deleting a blog. if you would like to see what this blog is like, please go to the seamonkey blog under blogaholic. then after viewing and keeping in mind that i have no intention of ever posting on this blog again, vote.
another option which is not included in the poll, is that i could keep it until i have a new pet and post their new life, whichever pet. infact i like this idea...perhaps you can give me some feed back.
Another change is i've created a new blog. This can also be seen under bogaholic, or in the comments of my previous post. i also need a theme for this one too, if you have any ideas.
The last announcement is about ICQ which I have recently down loaded with my old ICQ#
Let me remind you of the great things ICQ has to offer.
Invisible: this is where you apear offline, but you can actually still talk to ppl. On msn i find that even if i put my self as away or something ppl still talk to me, even if i'm going online to talk to one person specifically for a project or something.
Away: you can actually type a msg to let ppl now what you are doing, with out having to change your name.
the sounds effects: remember the uh-oh? or the horn when you start up, or the smash when some one wants to add you? these are much better then the weird alert you get from msn. then bing for a person coming online, and the tone for the instant msg.
history: even if you close the dialogue window, the history is still there, which is useful if you are like me and close the windows all the time, but then forget what the conversation was when the other person replies.
new improvements: the new ICQ version5 gets rid of all the old crap and makes ICQ cool again. also ICQ has much cooler interactive games than msn with it's WARSHEEP. this is an awsome game.
so who is with me? get ICQ and we can be friends!
is all for now.

moment of truth
the moment of truth is when exams come. when you are not sure if you will do well or do poorly. i feel like i know the material, but there is no way of really knowing (before taking the exam) because i didn't really go to class that much this semester. i'm not too worried about exams... but i don't even know if i should be.
so the moment of truth is when i take the exam and find out if skipping classes is okay.
in the past i never skipped. so i assume that my marks are prolly a little lower than my usual marks. but as you know from my previous posts, i really don't care. so long as i do decent.

Dear Weenie
I can't remember where I heard this, but it was most likely CBC radio, as this is my biggest source of audio knowledge.
This is in response to the comment that you left in the previous post about how i hate "my hump".
What i heard was that radio stations don't actually play what's popular. the big music companies pay to have songs played on airtime. more money/gifts equals more airtime. the more airtime a song gets, the more likely it will become popular. reasons: exposure so that more people hear it, and repitition so that if you don't like it, at least it's in your head-maybe this will make you buy a cd.
of course some songs just flop. but we dont remember those, cause they're pulled.
other points this radio show touched on: is this immoral/bad?-->conclusion: not nessessarily. there is a big history behind music on the radio. it wasn't bad then, but now it's out of hand? do we change it/CAN we change it?

My Music at Work
Hot 89.9 has got to be the worst radio station ever invented. "My Hump" is played repeatedly, with four decent songs during my shift, so that you can't wholey hate it. But this is a lie. Because I do wholey hate this station. If only because of contstant repition of songs I don't like.
I would much prefer to listen to Beatles 24hours. Or anything, for that matter, that I like.
Can you imagine serving and old lady, who is criticizing you because you are wearing "slacks" to work and women never used to do this. In the background "My Hump" plays, and another teller absent mindedly sings the corous.
I think this is weird.
Guess I'm just a hater.
K bye.

Taking It
Comon' Prof, I challenge you
To pick a day when my essay's due.
An arbritrary day to ruin my life-
But only enough to cause temperary strife.
Harumph!
Journals: stuffed with acadamia
Arguements: words tucking in quotes
Title pages: one less part of a tree that lives, one more thing done in my work.
Books: looking to see when it was last borrowed-1990, 1982, never.

Add in Young Beautiful Wife Here
While doing my essay, I needed a syn for 'toil', and came across and add:
Doesn't the wife in the picture look edited? Like she's been pasted in? Everything is blurry, execpt her face and boney collar bones. It's like if you invest with us, then you'll be able to afford to by a good corel program that makes it look like you can still get hot chicks in your "old" age.

Ralph and Mittens
My little babies are gone. The house is so lonely without them. Today I opened a can of tuna for lunch, and had to pour the tuna water in the sink. I wanted to put it in the cat dish. No dish, no cat. All that remains is their litter- not my favorite thing about cats, but when I go to put it in the trash, it's gonna make me teer up. Never again will they lay on my bed at night. Of course by the same token, never again will they wake me up at 6 30 in the morning for their food. Still, a small price to pay for the company of a small animal.
Good-bye my friends.
My two favorite people in the whole world.

Time to Stop Working so Hard
The other day someone said that poeple on welfare make $535 a month. This information isn't new to me, but having a lot of other things on my mind lately made me put this dollar amount into relation to myself. I only make $265 more than my neighbours on welfare. At first I was upset that I get paid so terribly. But then it became tempting to thinking about actually being on welfare. If I just invested less, I could live the same life style I'm living now, and I'd prolly get subsidies for Uni too. Of course $535 is the absolute bare minimum to live, and the living ain't good. So I don't think I'll do that option, but it's something to think about: more idiosyncrosities of life...

Lamenter Lamenting Laments
So I have been very disolusioned with school as of late. I am just so tired of worrying about how fast I'm reading my books. School just makes you churn out a bunch of assignments who's merit is not based on quality, but whether or not you can make the dead lines, and how many famous people you quote.
In my labs, I'm required to cut and paste data from one exel sheet into the next exel sheet of stat formulas, then I answers a few uncreative questions, and at the end of the year I am expected to know how to do all the work on an exam.
One profesor forces attendance by the use of pop-quizes. It's worth 5%, and there are five in the year. They are based on things going on in the news paper, and require no critical thinking where I must apply real life to theory in the classroom.
I must answer cryptic questions like "Water, water everwhere, but not a drop to drink. Where am I?" and "I'm Jack Layton, what am I yelling at Martin about?" or "I talk soft, but I'm not soft about this issue:". Sure if you read the paper in the morning these are easy questions, but I don't read the paper. More to the point: how late did he stay up writing these questions?
I don't have anything interesting to say about my pshyc class, but it is equally unstimulating, and makes me wonder why the fuck I bother getting an eduaction. I would be just as happy do some go-fer type job, than be what ever it is that edu will get me in the long run.
This all arises from my activism course. It's voluntary, and despite competing obligations, I still manage to go, if only to listent to the speakers. One in particular, a prof in woman's studies spoke on feminism. This for another day. What stuck in my mind was that she had recently seen a talk by someone else on University, and she breifly mentioned how he said we have to question our school system. At first, I thought, gee no, school's great. But really the more I thought about it. There is just a billion of things wrong....
(for jen)... billions, and billions, and billions of things.
School tells me the pop will stabalize at 9 billion, or ten, depending on which expert you ask.
School tells me there is oil for years to come, others say this comes at the cost of peace and the environment.
School tells me school's about learning to learn, or it's playing a game, or just a peice of paper, or the best experience of your life (wasn't that highschool?), or a great institution. These all depend on who you ask.
If you ask me, schools a lot of things. Mostly, bullshit, high prices and assimilation.

Got Robbed
I was serving a costumer when the robber came in wearing a ski mask, dish gloves, and carrying a plastic bag in his hand. "this is a robery" he yelled and wanted all the money. it was ten to close so one of our machines was already closed down. we pointed to the dye packs, and he took them but one fell apart and he ripped them both to sreads. then he made one of the teller get money out of the machine. he also took some of the marked bills that lay on the floor. he left out the front door, but only after asking for a second exit, which apon complicated intstructions he said never mind and left. i saw no weapon, but others saw a knife in his pocket. no one was hurt. my customers, having run away, came back, and i compeleted their transaction. they and others, inc myself filled out whiteness reports and talked to hot police officers.

It's a Matter of Getting Around to it
So here it is. A picture of Dr Mask. This is with reference to Friday June 11 2004, post "Keeping up with demand". It only took a year for me to put this pic on, but I'd like you to be able to visualize some of my world. This is taken out side of the rideau centre. This was not taken by me, it was found on the net somewhere.

Also, I didn't see him at all this year, so I don't know if he's still around or not. Has anyone else seen him at all?

Cop-out Post
I don't know what to write, but I want to post on my blog. I was looking at some old posts (which for some reason were soooo much better than they are now) and I came across a pretty good one. So today, I want to commemorate "I never payed to do my own work before" on Sept 16. This one is with reference to my first year in uni, and having to actually pay for your edu. pff of all the fundamentals in the world...

Socks
I just realised that I have over fifty pairs of socks, (I counted), and I still have trouble most days finding a clean pair to wear. But this means that I could wear a clean pair of socks everyday for a month and a half with out doing laundry. Even longer, maybe two months, if you count the days that I don't wear socks (eg. if I'm wearing sandles).
Today's Lesson: Know when to stop judging when to do laundry by your socks, else you may never to laundry.

For the Corny Joke Fans
Thank you, Ann, for those jokes. I haven't heard either of those b4. I will definitely add those to my collection.
Here are my two personal fav's:
Why did the belt go to jail? (I laugh just thinking about this one)
Because he held up the pants!
What did the hat say to the hatrack?
"You stay here, I'll go on ahead."
Hope y'all enjoy those as much as I do.

Can you believe they are now spamming blog comments? visit http://wetmonkeys.blogspot.com Then check out the august post "Gottem" in the archives and look that the comment in that post if you care to see. it's random, not a related topic, and that's just a plain nuisance. Has anyone else gotten these things? i have to remember how to delete comments, b/c that's exactly the kind i would delete.

Vegitairianism: more than eating?
For a long time, maybe a decade now, I've been thinking about going vegitarian, or more recently, organic, and most recently, local. (No, not loco. Already there anyways!)
My reason would be for humanitarian and environmental reasons. This blog will be too long if I go into detail here, but prolly most people reading this blog have some idea about the horrors of the world beyond the cosy chair they sit on this very moment.
So what is vegitarianism to me? It's hard to think about because to each vegitarian there is there own personal world view attached. For example, I said earlier that I am concerned about the environment. So I'd rather not eat meat, because it requires more energy to produce than vegtables. But then again, it might take less energy for me to farm a of chicken myself than to buy florida oranges, and healthier to boot. That's not a litteral example of course, but the point is that I'm not going to save the environment if i just stop eating my chiken, because florida oranges are just as bad.
I also wondered about my cats. Can a vegitarian own a cat and not feel guilty? Because a cats main diet contains meat, which would be cruel or environmentally unsound. In this case I would chose to not own cats, and instead volunteer at the humain society to walk dogs and pet cats. And there are certainly no organic cat foods that I know of. Or that maybe, the cat will catch birds and mice, killing them needlessly since he's well fed. And you can't keep a cats caged indoors all the time. Or if it's about animal rights, that animals should not be owned like objects.
And I've always wondered, is it important that a vegitarian also not wear clothes that derive from animals? or any other products, like makup or ferterlizer? Is driving acceptible, since accidental killing of animals is more likey?
What I'd have to conclude on, so as to stop my mind from spinning, is to not take vegitarianism so litterally, at least not is a society that isn't mainstream vegitarian. To just think of vegitarianism as a statement about how our current society works. Since eating is one of the most important things that people do and a very important way for people to bond, I'd say that vegitarianism would make a strong statement. Not only that, but because people eat so much, an enivornmentally friendly diet prolly does make a difference, specially if every did it.
My goal is firstly to eat and buy local when ever I can, secondly choose organic/post-consumer products, and thirdly choose not to use animal products when viable alternatives are available. Of course, I'd probably currently place myself at 5% to goal.
Course, that just the vegitarian part. There is lots of other environmental and humanitarian things unrelated to vegitarianism that are wholely important. But my blog is long enough as it is...

Fucking SpyWare
Well, yesterday I was FINALLY able to get rid of some of the spyware that was on my computer, which has been hovering around for a month. I spent three hours uninstalling and reinstalling programs and doing scans. Then today, a new one comes on my comp, called aurora or something. I think this is because my firewall was down. now I have norton, ad aware and mircrosoft all fighting to keep me safe, and none of them can do it, even tho ever 2 min a window pops up saying they've removed, or quaritined or blocked some spyware, it's always the same files, so i don't belive that they really do anything at all. I am so frustrated, but i spend hours rebooting my computer every time they 'remove' ABetterInternet form my memory. Fucking stupid technology.

CN Towers
Note that there is not only a CN Tower in TO but also in Edmonton. At first I thought this was quite funny, because the CN tower in Edm is much smaller, although its almost the tallest building there. And this CN tower is actually a building that people to CN business in. I soon learned that the touristy one in TO was in fact funded by CN itself, like the Corel Centre, or the Rexal Place. I did not know this, the whole time -my entire life- I thought that CN stood for Canadian National Tower. hehe.
But wait, isn't that what CN stands for in the CN Railways? Imma check: yes it does. Canadian National Railway. Wow, that really took the shock and amazement out of this post...but i'll post it any ways since i'm low on my quota and i took the time to write it out.

Of All the Big Chains, I Love Timmy's the Best
Tim Horton's has a special place in my heart, even if American's bought it now. The reason is because many a times when i didn't have any money, the tim horton's staff usually hate the company enought to just give me food for free. i haven't come across any others who would give me free food. they would rather the food go to waist. The are many times that timmy's has been generous with me, but the most recent is yesterday when i thought i had more money than i did, so i couldn't afford a bagel with butter on it, which is a dollar. but they were nice enough to give it to me for thirty cents. another thing they are well known for, is if you go after midnight, they will give you baked goods for free, because they are no longer fresh, as they've been there since the morning. So this is how timmy's became a friend of myn. maybe they should make a commercial of that...

How to Become an Actor
The most important part of becoming an actor is that you must know how to act. Some people think they know how to act, when in fact they just hang out with people who can't act, and so think that they are some pretty awsome actor. But if you hang out with actors, and it turns out that you can act then you can go on to the next step.
When you preform, you must not wear any shoes. You can wear socks if you wish, but it is better if you are in your bear feet. All the really good actors preform in their bear feet. If you do wear shoes while preforming, make sure this is because it is a prop. For example, if you wear shoes, be sure that later in the play you need to rip them off your feet in order to use them to cover your ears to keep out the tribulations of a gay ballet dancer who's gone insane in a time of war. -Oh Ballet Russe!
The less props and stage setting you have, the better. Of course, if you have none, then you are just a talking mime. But if you have one, two, or three (not including your shoes), and use them effectively and creatively then you will get a standing ovation. Even in a world where good special effects are essitial for a blockbuster hit, in the world of plays, special effects are over rated. It's all about the acting.
You must also support other actors, this is very imporant. You scratch their back and they'll scratch yours.
Of course, don't listen to me, because i'm not an actor, and i'm definitely not successful. But you can learn all these things if you go to any Fringe Festival this side the Canadian border.

Financial Advice
So lotsa people seem to be surprised that i can save up as much money as i do, bieng poor and a student at the same time. i can give you advice, but i'm no expert. what i really suggest is talking with financial advisor, cause thats what they do best. but i'll tell you whats worked for me and what hasn't.
There are two rules:
1) you must have a financial plan and some goals
2) the most imortant rule: you must stick to rule one.
things that finacial proffesionals suggest, but don't work for me:
1) write out every thing you spend and make, keeping a tight record. this doesn't work for me, becuase i'd just be like "ill do it later" and the recipts would just float around and i'd end up throwing them away anyways. also, i find the writing down just records what you do. maybe this will be helpful to some ppl if they want to see where they can improve, but i found it to be a waste of time. if i buy a candy bar @ quicky, it's not worth the paper i'm writing on to record it.
2)put your credit card in a jar filled with water and keep it in the freezer. this worked at first to keep impulse spending down. but then i found faster and faster ways to make it melt (but don't ever put it in the microwave, because it'll ruin the data) i used to put water in a sauce pan and heat the water. then i'd put the jar in the water and the ice melts around the glass and the credit card first, so that you dont' even have to wait for the ice to completely melt... and another thing too is that you can still shop online with your card in the freezer if you know the numbers by heart, which i do.
Stay tuned for more...

Licorice
So the other day i was thinking about licorice, and where it came from. Was it a plant, does it grow on trees? Why is it a candy? Who thought that this discusting thing was a treat? This is what my blog was going to be about, until i realised i didn't know how to spell licorice, so i had to look it up. I just decided to google it, and came arcoss something even more puzzling than the candy: a non-profit organization dedicated soley to licorice, and promoting licorice.
Do I need to continue? I just don't see why this world needs such and organisation! http://www.licorice.org/index.htm. For some reason, licorice already seems to be popular, so why would one need an entire organisation! anyways, licorice is totally discusting, so i don't know why any one would eat it. This organisation claims that licorice is sweet. LIES it's bitter and gros, and is mockery of all confectionary everywhere!
Today's Lesson: If you're going to waste the time and money on founding and organisation, at least make sure the cause is worth the effort.

Leep into Sleep,
Like bread becomes toast:
I'm Burnt.
Step into Sleep,
Like a body in a grave:
I'm Dead.
Fall into Sleep,
Like change into a pocket:
I'm Spent.
Reach for that Sleep,
Like work that's complete:
I'm done.
Drop into Sleep,
Like relief on the can:
I'm Pooped.
Loose to Sleep,
Like you're in second place:
I'm Beat.

Blame
Remember the "Today's Lesson" I used to post at the end of my comments? Those humourous little tidbits of advice? I didn't. I totally forgot that I used to do that. The last time I put one in my posts is Sept 16 2004. That was over nine months ago. I could have had a baby in that time.
It's funny how my style has, and the look of the blog has evolved over time. I really miss the writing style that I used. I'll have to try to get back into that; I just feel like 'real life' really keeps you from being the best you can be.
I think this because work is about doing what's best for the company, being a representitive of the company. Infact, more and more these days, companies are imposing more of their values onto the personal life of the individual. For example, some companies, highly encourage not smoking. Not just at work, but also in the home. Some offer help for quiting smoking, while still others require it to be an employee!
Other examples could be dating in the work place, or how you act, or what you say. It may not seem like it, but you change over time. I think it's pretty damn close to brain washing! haha
So my point here is that if my blogs not as good as when i was young, then I blame it on "real life".. all those companies that bill me, all the companies that employ me, insure me, or even adevertise to me. They make this blog bad, becuase they make me feel uncreative, and feel grey about society. Stupid 'real life', who made you REAL any ways?

Felt
The other day i was thinking about who invented felt. I mean, it's used in crafts quite often but i'm sure that no one invented it for craft alone. I'm just wondering what exactly felt was invented for. Someone suggested it was for hats, I thought it might be to line stuff with, like industrial something or other. Any ideas?

I feel like a fetal pig
Aborted
and injected with dyes.
I'm stuffed into a jar of formaldehyde
Soon to be on the disection tray,
with a grade twelve student looking down on me.
My arteries are red,
My viens are blue,
On the inside,
I look just like you.
If I turned up my head, and asked you what you've learned, what would you say?
Would it be "nothing..."
Or would you deny that any of us are really dying?
I am Pink or I am Brown.
I am fat.
I live in my own filth.
Who am I??
Wrong! I am not a pig.
I AM Canadian.

I was just thinking about how a stripper has to live a double life, often hidding her proffesion from her family, because of the stigma associated with it. In the same way a super leads a double life, hiding it from his family and wearing costumes at night (!)

Magical Spring
I've probably mentioned to you in past blogs how much I like winter. The beauty, the sliding sheets of ice, the giant snow flakes to catch with your tongue...
But I've never told you about Spring. Mostly because up until now, it was my least favorite season. I thought of it as a dirty smelly wet time of year. Like a dog left in the rain.
But there are nice things about spring. I think that the runoff of snow melting paths in the snow banks is absolutly serene. and the beauty of trees growing from a large puddle of ice water is a sight to see.

An Untapped Renewable Resource
Today while eating some of Ottawa's finest poutine, I engaged myself in a most interesting conversation. Some how, the topic of conversation came upon the topic of viagra (no pun intended). Suddenly, after reminissing on the comical comercial theme songs, a question arose. We all knew that viagra, known for is great powers to errect joy in many couples, was originally being produced for something else. However, we each had our own idea of what this other thing was. I thought it was a heart medication, someone else though it might be birth control for men. I said no, it could not be a birth control for men, because if a man forgot to take the pill then the sperm would start to produce. To which he replied, the male anatomy is quite effient. At this, I mused "Imagine how effient it would be as a car fuel! We would never run out! And all those jobs created."
To which we further mused about being at the gas station and having to use the pump...

When You Are in Love
when you are in love every thing is a symbol of you love. stupid conversations, driving in snow storms to see No Way Out, compforatble silence, and kissing while arguing.
February 10, 2005
Silence
Silence is a funny thing. It's usually a bad thing.
Among two people on their first date, silence would be very bad, since this indicates that the two people don't have enough in common to keep a convo going. I personally never found silence bad in convos. Some times I don't even notice silence, since my mind seems to automatically trail off, the instance someone stops talking- sometimes while the person is still talking. This silence is awkward for most people.
Another type of silence is in court. For example in the USA, one can pleed the 5th, which essencially means "I'm not saying anything". This means that they know something but won't say anything. They are hiding information.
Silence can also mean consent. For a litterary example, in the play "A Man for All Seasons" Sir Thomas Moore remains silent, and insist that silence means constent. For a day-to-day kind of example, if you asked Sally if Alice likes Jon, and Sally says she can't say anything, this probably mean that Alice does like Jon.
Going back to Sir Thomas Moore, he had trouble, because the courts said that silence implies guilt. If you saw a man rob a house and said nothing, then you are just as guilty as the robber, because you said nothing, if Moore agreed with the King, why wouldn't he just say so, they argued.
Also, not being silent in places you should be silent can be just as bad. Imagine your self in a church, or a library. Here, silence would not be awkward at all.
However, silence is hard to keep most of the time, like when you don't want to wake people in the night... or not talk when you've been jinxed ( or you owe them a coke).
It's esspecially hard to keep silent when someone intrusts you with gossip, and warns you "not to tell any one". In fact, in saying that one would most probably tell at least three ppl, and tell them not to tell any one.
The most interesting silence is the one that makes one supirior, even if others don't know it. Like companies that have a "secret sauce", one can have info that might benifit many if you only told them. But in keeping silent, this secret keeps one ahead of the pack.
Of course there is the worst silence, you know, the one imposed on people. The silence that can grow into entire societies, usually from oppressive governments. But I prefer to not talk about that kind of silence. I would rather silence my mind and pretend it doens't exist.

Going back to Sir Thomas Moore, he had trouble, because the courts said that silence implies guilt. If you saw a man rob a house and said nothing, then you are just as guilty as the robber, because you said nothing, if Moore agreed with the King, why wouldn't he just say so, they argued.
Also, not being silent in places you should be silent can be just as bad. Imagine your self in a church, or a library. Here, silence would not be awkward at all.
However, silence is hard to keep most of the time, like when you don't want to wake people in the night... or not talk when you've been jinxed ( or you owe them a coke).
It's esspecially hard to keep silent when someone intrusts you with gossip, and warns you "not to tell any one". In fact, in saying that one would most probably tell at least three ppl, and tell them not to tell any one.
The most interesting silence is the one that makes one supirior, even if others don't know it. Like companies that have a "secret sauce", one can have info that might benifit many if you only told them. But in keeping silent, this secret keeps one ahead of the pack.
Of course there is the worst silence, you know, the one imposed on people. The silence that can grow into entire societies, usually from oppressive governments. But I prefer to not talk about that kind of silence. I would rather silence my mind and pretend it doens't exist.

Wishing I Could Use my Shrink-Ray-Gun to Shrink the Distance Between You and Me.
Long distance:
It's the resistance,
To let go.
You're not here:
I fear,
That which I don't know.
Life, between the last time
And the next time,
It's just the waiting in between.
Of all my life long search:
I've prayed, but not in church,
You're still the best I've ever seen.

Evalutation of Last Year's Resolutions
1) be more patient (didn't happen)
2) exercise more (i exercised more than the year before, yes.)
3) learn how to spell (well, there is always speel check)
4) memorize the charter of rights (wow, i didn't even look at the charter of rigths)
5) get more regular sleep (i'd say i handle this one pretty well)
6) clear out possessions without functions (did some, but not nearly enough, i'm just going threw my childhood junk now. and boy, there's a lot)
7) spend less money on trivial things (very good, A+ on this one)
8) write more (nnnot so much)
9) actually fulfill my New Year's Resolutions (4 out of the 8 so far. fair enough: C for effort)
10) be happy (of course!)
