out with the old

I got a new computer this week (!) so I'm forced to clean out the old, read some old texts, organize my pictures, and delete my useless bookmarks & programs. Here are just a few randoms I found and deleted (but can still preserve here by sharing):

sorry for myself

I’m feeling sorry myself right now. I had the worst day possible followed by an even worse one. I’m tired of my tired eyes, of the cold air, of these late nights. I feel sluggish and out of shape. My toes hurt like crazy because they freeze over and over again. Nothing is providing me with any comfort- not crying or chocolate or my favorite songs. The winter seems so long today.

What I did with 6 days off

F@#*ing Freezing!

Temperature: -19C
Wind: 54km/h
Temperature with the wind: -31C



Walking home tonight was difficult. The wind penetrated my coat and burned my exposed skin. I couldn't catch my breath. What's worse is that the temperature is expected to drop to -33C tomorrow morning and stay just as cold until Saturday. If you think about it, not many places in the world get to experience the range of temperatures that us Montrealers do. I get to walk home in a range between -30C to +30C. It's pretty remarkable, highly uncomfortable, and it also explains why we like to talk about the weather so much- it's constantly changing and sometimes, like tonight, can be really threatening.

Top 10 Years

If I had to make a list of my Top 10 Favorite Songs of all time, Dirty Epic by Underworld would for sure be included. This song has been in my collection and playing for more than 10 years, and it never gets old.

Soul Job

I want to retire Monday’s "...of this week" for a while. Lately, I’ve been feeling a little tired and uninspired, mainly because of my job. I want so badly to find another job that is, in essence, the complete opposite of my current one. One where I feel valued, by not only my boss, but by also by the clients I serve. One that offers a regular work week with reasonable hours, and statutory days off. I also want to be trusted that I will use my time efficiently (and not have every move I make monitored). I want my job to be a part of my life, not a hindrance to it. Most of all, I want to feel like I’m contributing to something special, something great, so I could go to bed at night (at a reasonable hour) and know that I have made a difference somehow. These jobs are hard to find, almost like finding your soul mate. The trick is not to settle, to put yourself out there, and believe that you deserve it- this is my Resolution. Once I find my soul job, I’m never letting go.

Happy 2009!!

I usually spend New Year’s Eve at home in bed daydreaming of the upcoming year’s possibilities. This year, New Year’s Eve was a little different. I had to work until 12:30am... but it was still really special. After work I got to toast the New Year with new friends, and spend the night with someone very close to my heart. At midnight, though I may not have been comfy in my bed, I was still daydreaming of 2009 and wondering what surprises the upcoming year will bring. It’s hard for me to foresee what will transpire in 2009, but riding the bus home this morning, with the sun shining super bright, I couldn’t stop smiling thinking about the promise and excitement hidden behind 2009’s uncertainty.
