Yesterday was a good day. Hanging out with some friends, talking, walking, eating, driving, talking ... We were down at the lake, taking photographs of the winter scenes. It's good to take pictures again, like we did 10 years ago. I need a new camera though, because the new ones are much more powerful and faster. Then going to eat, and having to wait for the waiter to take our order. I think he forgot about us. Talking, talking and talking. Afterwards looking for a Starbucks, but not finding one in my automobile friendly part of the city. I guess Starbucks wants to be in areas where there are lots of people walking around, and also people who are 'better' off. I think we must have driven around for around an hour, before we found a place. It was all good though, with the Caramel Macchiattos. Then coming back to my place, first planning on playing Xbox, but then continuing our talking and talking and talking. Our fear of just going out and starting a business. How to bring up a child. Dealing with family, and not alienating them. The evening then ended, and I went to bed shortly after, but couldn't sleep. I got up to do some web surfing, and found LR online as well. Always reading more and more about the deadly Tsunami in South Asia. Finally feeling tired enough to go to bed, only to wake up 6 hours later, not being able to fall asleep again, because of a Headache.

Televisions and my head...
Televisions and skulls,
do not necessarily go well together.
I just had my 27 inch television land on my head.
It wasn't a far fall,
approximately two feet;
but man,
it left a welt on my head.
I won't try and explain how it happened,
it's just one of those things that's too bizarre.
I will probably need a new television though.
Maybe US could fix it,
he knows those types of things.

SHUT UP YOU #&(!@& DOG!!!
It's just a dog,
and you can get used to the noise.
But it is so annoying,
I wish it would SHUT UP!
I will turn on some music,
to drown it out.
Christmas was good,
I enjoyed the time away.
Ate too much turkey,
and other stuff too.
Resolutions are coming soon,
maybe one will be to exorcise.

Lonely Train Guy
I was riding the train, coming home from work today.
I sat on the South Side of the train,
listening to U2's One,
watching the traffic drive along the highway.
I was thinking about how good that song is,
and was getting in a Mellon collie sort of mood.
I wasn't depressed today,
since it was the last day of work before Christmas break,
but sitting there on the train,
listening to that song,
put me in a Mellon collie mood.
I could see my reflection in the window,
and thought that I looked like that cliche guy,
riding the train,
thinking deep thoughts,
or getting away from his problems.
This morning it was snowing,
which turned to rain as I left for work.
As I arrived at the Streetcar stop,
there was a woman waiting there,
who had no clue as to where she was.
She told me that she got off the bus,
and wanted to get to St. Joes.
I helped her along,
telling her which Streetcar to take,
and she appreciated it so very much.
As I was on the Streetcar,
at a stop along Queen Street,
a young woman,
probably in her late teens,
stepped on and sat next to me.
She looked a little spaced out,
and I could smell the marijuana smoke,
heavily on her coat.
The temperature dropped severely during the day,
turning all of the rain on top of the snow into ice.
The TTC closed down the Streetcars,
because of fears that the wires would break from the ice.
This is the reason I ended up taking the train home in the evening.
I took a few pictures during the day,
first of the traffic driving past my condo in the morning,
then of frozen trees in the evening.
Anyway,
today is the eve of Christmas Eve,
and tomorrow is Christmas Eve.
Have fun...

Dei @ Wirk
It was a cold day today,
starting at minus 20 or more,
and ending at minus 10.
It's snowing right now,
but not very much,
probably only a few mm.
Construction sites were stopped today,
concrete would freeze and men too,
cranes not moving.
I wonder what the homeless do,
go to shelters I guess,
would be unbearable for me.
IT always checks his illegally parked car,
opens window to check and never closes it,
today made it freezing in the office.
People never turn off the hot water,
always dripping,
only takes a mm to turn it off.
Juice bottle was too big,
couldn't close the fridge,
wasting electricity.
Computers left on,
all night long,
wasting electricity.
Desk lamps left on,
all night long,
wasting electricity.
Does it really matter if we waste it all,
destroy nature on the planet,
when we're smaller than a spec in this Universe?
Chapters was open until 11 tonight,
went to look after work,
waiting for BC.
Went to Montana's with BC,
had dinner,
after about a year.
Drove past several construction sites,
on the way to High Park station,
to get to BC's car.
Had a message from JM,
when I got home,
from Red Dear.
Says I should call him,
to catch up,
from over a year ago.
Didn't go to JM's wedding,
in July,
because it was in Red Dear.
Funny thing was,
I was honestly thinking of,
calling JM this week too.
Saw RM,
reminded me to write in my,
own Blog.

Che Guavera's drinking tea...
I went to see The Motorcycle Diaries last night with LR.
I found it quite inspiring,
affecting me all day today.
I didn't know much about Ernesto going into this movie.
Basically all that I knew,
was that he was a revolutionary.
The travels that Ernesto made with his companion ,
brought back memories of my own cross country excursion;
although I didn't come back with thoughts of revolution in my mind.
It was inspiring to see the changes Che went through,
wanting to help the indigenous people.
I have felt similar feelings,
wanting to help,
but not knowing how.
As LR told me today,
be careful what order you read his history in,
as disillusionment can set in.
Coming home this evening,
I began some research,
and disillusionment has set in.
I consider myself peaceful,
and reading about Ernesto's fighting,
and his ruthlessness,
I found hard to understand.
During his travels through South America,
he seemed to be a compassionate man.
He does not seem to be the same man,
at his life's end.
He went from compassion for humankind,
to passion for a cause.
