i have fail to tell some very good friends that there is indeed a watermelon growing in my tummy.
i guess i've been very caught up with doing life.
so if you are still reading my blog you will know, if not, you will not.
unless i bump into you around town, yes literally bump into you:)
dan takes full responsibility for it, and i take none.
i was shocked and dan was not.
we have two different stories, but of course mine is the right one.
july 5 is the magical date.
i will be glad for the whole year off.
well, until i run out of $ and cannot pay the mortgage.
i bought lotteries tickets for myself today for the first time for a long while.
i usually buy them for my parents once in a while.
so, when i win, i plan to travel, read lots of books, i will study all the many things that so intrigue me, invent things, and finally open my quaint dream cafe, book store, knick-knack crafty venture. oh yes, and a shopping spree:)
there are a few more practical things i will do, but i won't bore you.

ignorance
Against logic there is no armor like ignorance.
- Laurence J. Peter
Reminds me of my safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water.
- WC Fields
Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.
- Will Durant
i'm reading 'the brain that changes itself' very interesting. always so intrigued by neurosciences. so far 4/5.
recently finished:
moral disorder - margaret atwood - rating 3/5
knights of the black and white - jack whyte rating 3/5
the in-between world of vikram lall - mg vassanji 31/2/5
two books that i just bought:
the alchemist and the witch of portobello both by paulo coelho. heard mix reviews...will see.
more great books to read that are still packed up...
ignorance is a very thought provoking state.
the infamous saying: ignorance is bliss, is a truly loaded phrase.
i wish sometimes the in-between state of being ignorant but my logic cannot justify this wanting.
i am fascinated by the recent year or so of experiences and observations in environments that have challenged my very thought of what is normal.
i try to be in constant openness to possibilities that are different to the way i think and know.
so that i may perhaps grasps somehow, if not fully convince myself of an understanding beyond my own logic.
it has been truthfully quite draining in mind set logic as well as emotionally.
it is coming to an end.
on most days i am so relieved
but on occasion, i find that i am sadden by the possibilities that will not come.
the horizon started very brightly
i'm not sure if i had a play in the dimming of it.
i run events backwards, and have not a clue.
if anything, another chapter is at its end, and i know i have learn new and grown in ways that have not come to light yet.
i today, am looking forward to what is ahead.
life is a concoction of amazing, crazy and surprising elements...

fool, tedious, sleep
A fine quotation is a diamond on the finger of a man of wit, and a pebble in the hand of a fool.
- Joseph Roux
It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.
- Oscar Wilde
To achieve the impossible dream, try going to sleep.
- Joan Klempner
can't wait for change!

mind
behind me
fleeting pictures, movie reels, rolling back in time
nostalgia, always better when remembered
in fondness, when present is bleak...not bad...just a dash dark
in my restlessness, and wanderings, i learn about me
about innate nature about many i don't fancy
i past time, with hopes still in the making
waiting, running, doing, toward...something.
