Holidays

I love holidays - I just got back from a week of camping - no stress, lots of fun. Lots of beer, etc etc.

Come bake here and the stress level rises as I get closer to home - back to normal life. It would be nice to have that relaxed holiday attitude for the other 50 weeks of the year. Why can't we?

Why do we place ourselves under so much stress?

I guess it's kinda like that joke where the high school principal walks up to the kid banging his head on the locker door.

"Why are you doing that?" The prinicpal asks.

"Because it feels so good when I stop." Was the answer.

It's super Tuesday

Being a Canadian I don't much care who the next president is (usually) as long as it's not GWB. Thankfully this year will mark the end of his dismal career in the Whitehouse. But this year I have been paying attention as a lot of Canadians are I think. That is because for the first time in history you have the opportunity to see a black man or a white woman in the oval office. The only problem is that they are in the same party, however the fact that one of these 2 will become the leader of a major political party in the US and therefore have a really good shot at being the next president makes this an interesting story to follow. Add into the mix the fact that I believe many Americans are tired of not only Bush politics but Bush's party altogether and the chance of a black or female president becomes that much greater. So today is bigger than some people may realize because today's voting may decide who the next president of the US is.

Trailer Trash

In fact I believe that I am trailer trash. Not only that I'm proud to admit it. You see, to me "trailer trash" represents a person (or group of people) who just don't give a shit what anyone else thinks of them. It has nothing to do with the fact that they may or may not live in a mobile home, it has more to do with an attitude, in my opinion. For example, in the city where I live, lots of people are more concerned with keeping up with their neighbours, or what their friends think of them than should be. I've lived my life these past few years just how I want to. I don't care what others think about me or how I live my life. And we've tried to instil that into our son - that he be more concerned with how he feels and not what others think. Because let...
