messenger is the devil in disguise...
msn messenger is officially the worst form of communication ever invented. it is the keeper of miscommunication, unnecessary angst and disguised emotions. i hate it. yet i can't get away from it.

luck is in the air (and so is love)...
as my self-proclaimed "day of destiny" approaches, i've begun to realize that there is no luckier guy in the world than me. all of you, every single one (well, all except one...), have given me strength.
words of encouragement during down and stressful times, words of confidence during times of fraility and words of best wishes for yet another big day in my endless journey of big days. i've gotten all these and more during what i can accurately describe as a pretty chaotic week.
big thanks to you all.

who do you turn to?...
when things get difficult, who do you turn to? and when i say difficult, i don't mean something tragic, but only something that makes you think "i need to talk to someone about this".
how empty i would feel if i had no one to turn to at times like these. i grew up with people around me; with someone always there to lend an ear and listen.
i had only a glimpse of what it would be like to have no one there or care last night. and it wasn't fun.

the human condition...
it's amazing how important human emotions are to the human condition. i guess people have explored this before, and i guess this is how the character data was dreamed up. granted, i'm a pretty emotional guy. i'm pretty easily excited, angry, upset, happy etc... i'd like to talk briefly about one emotion.'
last night, my heart sank.
this is a particularly interesting emotion.
"45%"
"I think we should break up"
"We are sorry to inform you that your application has not been selected."
all lines that can make your heart sink.
it's a pretty crazy emotion because it feels as if your heart has literally fell down in your body. you feel lighter, you feel empty, you feel nervous, excited, upset, angry all at the same time.
but last night, after my heart sank, it raised up again in about 2 seconds. from a biological perspective, it boggles my mind that my body can shift conditions so rapidly. from sympathetic to a parasympathetic response almost instantaneously. all based on what someone had to say.
it blows my mind...

bye bye pigeons...
now i'll be the first to admit that irene and i have a pretty sweet deal. we live in a beautiful condo. it's right by the subway so we have easy access downtown. we have access to a car all the time so scarborough and markham is just a quick highway away.
but with nice and big things comes some responsibility. this means more cleaning, more household chores and more things to fix around the condo.
also, living in an apartment makes you susceptible to pigeon infestation. you heard that right, an infestation of pigeons. which is what we have had for the past few weeks.
see i don't go out on my balcony much during the winter and a few weeks ago, i decided to look out, only to find a HUGE MOUND of pigeon crap. i'm not joking, we're talking about a small garbage bag full of pigeon crap spread out among my balcony.
this was gross. so i proceeded to clean it up, something i do not want to do again. now for the next few weeks it was a battle of me versus the pigeons, as they kept returning, wanting to crap on my balcony and make it their home. while i persistently tried to scare them away. it didn't work, they kept coming back and they kept crapping.
they were like my pets, except the only thing i did was clean up after them.
yesterday, i took a stance and called pigeon tom. a little company that specializes in enclosing balconies to prevent pigeons from coming. now those stupid pigeons are the problem of apartment 1811 (i live in 1711). i noticed that all the floors below me already had their balconies enclosed, while the ones above didn't... haha. good luck up there. best $100 spent ever....
happy belated valentine's day...
i spent valentine's day celebrating being single. and then whining about it.

VC is my hero...
have any of you been watching court cuts on the score recently? they end off their sessions with a bunch of crazy vince highlights. needless to say, they are pretty spectacular.
VC is my hero. any guy who can receive a pay cheque of over $10 million to play a game, and still have the audacity to lie and cheat about how hard he tries every night gets serious points in my book. vince, i want to be like you. i want to go through life cheating people out of their hard earned money and being getting paid to be a lazy ass.
*sarcasm*

180 degree turn...
wow. things change fast in my life. i'm not out of the woods yet, but one step forward after 5 steps back is better than another step back.
