Day 16 - Doing a countdown now, 5 days to go...

As I'm now in the home stretch I am getting very antsy about getting back onto the grid if I may... In some way I'm having withdrawal from Facebook because all I've heard in commercials today is "facebook this and facebook that". You don't really realize how much Facebook is integrated into everything. Newspapers, tv commercials, it's all over the place... It's getting kind of frustrating to me. Even my brother is starting to notice how much Facebook gets mentioned in both news and commercials. It's quite ridiculous actually.

On another note, I just received my "Millennium" box set from Amazon, and I love that tv show. It is seriously one of the best crime/paranormal drama's in the realm of tv. Plus, Lance Henriksen is just one badass dude in this show. All episodes are an hour, so it takes a while to get through 3 seasons of it, but I am more than looking forward to spending an hour or two in his company. He's a very compassionate actor and brings a down to earth vibe to anything he's in. One of my favourite roles of his, is of course Bishop from Aliens... An android with a heart. He does it so well. A great quote of his, "I may be synthetic, but I'm not stupid". True words my friends.

Well, I gotta scoot off to bed, stuff needs to be done tomorrow!

Tip of the day:
When making mashed potatoes: After the potatoes are boiled, put a splash of milk and a dollop of butter into the pot and pop the lid on and let the butter melt. This way, when you mash the potatoes you get a silky smooth and fluffy tasting mash. Also, add salt to taste.

Love + Blessings

Confused

Maybe, there's a reason for all the pain. Maybe not? But what I know for sure, is that we can't take it all at once. I tried to be the good person, to give of myself, in the right way. Without hurting any one, or myself. I know I am not perfect, in any way. No one is. Really.  But, I also find it hard to imagine a world where there is less pain.

Angsty teen

I love looking at things I've written a decade ago - am I really getting that old? Then, some times you come across  a poem where you wonder what was going through you at the time. You can't really remember what brought you to that place where the poem came from. To be honest, I remember being an angsty teen and really focused on the bad things that were happening in my life, but still I can't remember who I wrote this about. I honestly always draw from my own experiences in life so this must have meant something to me. For the life of me, I wish I could remember. I published the following very short poem online in 2003: --- What can I say, to make it all better? What can I do, to make it last forever? What can I see, that you don't in me? ---- I find it funny now, that I could be so completely lost in someone to write such a poem. Yet, I think it comes with the territory of being a teenager. You obsess and worry and wonder why love hasn'

"Dancin' Away With My Heart"

So - I see a lot of people "dreading" the coming Valentine's Day... Honestly, I couldn't care less about this day. When I was in a long term relationship I'll admit that I, in the beginning, expected my partner to get me something on Valentine's Day. I soon realized that it didn't mean as much as when he just surprised me on an ordinary day with something out of the ordinary. In reality, Valentine's Day has nothing to do with love or appreciation. It's a corporately structured "holiday" where industries try to put an emphasis on one day where your partner "should" show his appreciation for you. Why would it matter on this particular day and less on other days? Ridiculous... Okay, I'll level with you guys. I believe in true love. Yeah I know what you're gonna say. Blah blah, women believe in true love and they always have. They want that knight in shining armour to come rescue them and won't give anything less than
