I'm saying goodbye to Bell and signing up for Vonage, I hope it makes all my dreams come true. Anyone else ever use a VoIP service?

Why some people have rather high opinions of themselves is beyond me. So what if you are attractive and people sometimes have the notion to flirt with you? Occasionaly poeople try to hit you up for a phone number or a drink at a local bar of your choosing where you will promptly screw them over and go pick up someone you deem more attractive. This may all be true, but it doesn't mean when I approach you with a book in one hand and a chai latte in the other and ask to sit down in the only comfy chair left in the entire establishment that I am hitting on you and you should make up a lame excuse that a friend is sitting there. It will be debunked when I leave and see your mythical friend sipping her non-fat non-whip soy drink and think utterly cruel thoughts about you and your family and how you must all suck and need some guidance from Dr Phil.

CAFKA 04 is happening for 8 more days in downtown kicthener. We stumbled across it last night first noticing a display in an old store front that projects an animation which I think was a music video of sorts that can democratize you, whatever that is suppose to mean. As you approach city hall you know something is up, the fountain is full of plastic lounge chairs and a small sign saying that you will be filmed for an art installation if you hang around the entrance/exit to city hall. Someone's ferret didn't mind, it made it's way out into the sea of white lounge chairs sending it's owner after it and several rent-a-cops after him. As exciting as that all was, the highlite had to be the installation in the revolving door. It was a musical revolving door and played a jewellery box scale as the doors moved causing chaos as regular folk tried to decipher what was happening.

I think a person in clown makeup and regular clothes driving a minivan is one of the creepiest things i have ever had to see in my life.

I hate that I can get so addicted to a book that I can't stop reading, it invades all my free time until every moment is consumed with the sole purpose of finishing it. I was sucked into Memoirs of a Geisha. It seemed a little crazy to me when the main character laments that she really never had much if any control over her life, comparing it to a constant stream with a leaf caught up in the current.

It struck me and I keep thinking about it. The truth is sometimes I feel the same way and am not always sure why I am doing some of the things I do. Why business when I really like music? Why University at all? Why am I a not on some big grandiose adventure? I know that many of the choices I make are the right ones, but there is always that "what if?", but that is the thought that shapes us as we life our lives.

Oprah's auto giveaway fuels Web spike I caught a portion of this particular Oprah show on Monday and to be honest I lost a lot of respect for the big O. The talk show might as well be an informercial that aired in the wee hours of the morning with b celebrities endorsing it. It may have brought Oprah down a notch to some, but it was a brilliant ad campaign.

Alas if only I had my iPod I would tell you all bout the guilty pleasures (dixie chicks bad enough?) that are hidden within, precious gems of music that I must do without until I am reunited with my love on Sunday. I let Em take it with her on a work trip, she made some sad puppy face, or rather I would like to believe that she made some sad puppy face and I was left no option but to let her take my child to the norther regions of Ontario. After all I was powerless to her femine wils or I couldn't bear to hear her lament one more time that she would have nothing to do on her 22 hour car trip. At this point in time I am not sure what I miss more, Em or my iPod.

Your friends do it, your parents do it, politcal officials do it and I guarentee that memebers of the clergy do it. They all bang their wang or duff the muff. How on earth did I get to this topic? Not by choice I assure you, but a conversation I had last week keeps surfacing to the top of my mind. Someone had casually mentioned that their 'buddy' got caught by their wife jacking off to Regis and Kelly. I don't even know where to start - getting caught? by your wife? regis? kelly? Certainly there is a time and place for Kelly, she is way more attractive than Kathie-Lee ever was, but I would expect that any stimulation that Kelly could provide, Regis would take away in spades.

Poor guy, must have confused the hell out of his wife.

Something funny happened on the way to the keyboard over the last month. Well not so much funny as it just never did. Life was moving along, things happened - weddings, funerals, the magical kingdom and surviving hurricanes. Yet, nothing seemed compelling enough to transcribe it to the site, or I just couldn't be bothered. A habit I guess, a bad one that I will constantly bitch about for the my entire existance.
