Random Thoughts by Ktownbuddha

It’s the night before I move to Fort Saskatchewan for two months, and then start working in Cuba on a rotational basis.   Needless to say, I’m nervous.   Not sure if I am stressed or if it’s just nervousness.   I haven’t worked in a true corporate environment for a few years.   That is one part.   The other is I still haven’t found a long term solution for my cat.   Those of you, who know me, know I love my cat.   I didn’t go and get him on a whim and he is a big part of my life.   I have somebody lined up to look after him and my place for the month of July but that person may be moving out of the country as well.   When I first started looking at the idea of taking this job this person hadn’t really started thinking about this.   So I will find out in the next few weeks if she is going and if she is, I’m literally kind of screwed.   I have no idea what I will do.   That I think is the biggest worry for me.   I love my cat.   What do I do with him if she goes?   I have a few people

I make mistakes just like everybody else. I miss type words all the time. I’m much more susceptible to it while instant messaging. I tend to type phonetically just as I’d pronounce something as if I were chatting in person. I do try and make sure that when I post a status update or anything else like that; that I check to make sure it’s spelled correctly. Why do I do that? Well I’m not an uneducated moron and don’t want people to have anymore of a reason to think that than they already to do. Why the rant? A person on my friend list on msn has a status update and has misspelled a word forever. It looks so fricking stupid and annoying. This person is already a moron and this just furthers confirms that thought.

I hate waiting.   They say good things come to those who wait.   Big fucking deal.   I don’t mind waiting a little bit.   I don’t try and cut lines or get angry or anything like that.   In fact I find it funny when people do lose their minds over really small things.   On few days ago I was picking up a few items at the grocery store and low and behold an old lady (70 +) cuts in front of me.   Now I could make a big deal of it, but what’s the point?   It cost me maybe 1 min of my day.   Obviously she was more important than me, and needed that 1 min more than I.   I find that kind of behaviour to be pretty ignorant.   Should I call her on her shit?   Thoughts? Currently I’m waiting on some big news.   I’ve been waiting on it for over a month.   I should hear some more news this week, but I won’t have the final say for probably a month.   Don’t worry, its not bad news, its great news.   Or I hope it is.

It’s a funny thing and is often taken for granted. Very few people actually seek out the truth. We take it a face value that if enough people say something that it must be true. People no longer challenge pre-conceived notions to determine if they are in fact true. This is fine as long as the people spreading the “Truth” are objective, impartial and in fact have actually researched whether or not it is the “Truth”. Take the media for example. There are thousands of examples of US media propagating something so many times. The logic being that if they repeat it enough, people will believe it and it will become the “truth”. I think this is a truly sad state of affairs. Smear campaigns are organized and people take pride in bring people or ideas down based on nothing more than repetition and not facts. How do we get back to the good old days of making sure you have the proof before you spout your mouth or put pen to paper? This is exacerbated given current technology a

This is a post I started writing in my head on the way back from watching the Olympics. My travel companion was sleeping, and I didn't feel like listening to music, so I started formulating this in my head. Now then when my travel companion woke up, this post kind of got muddled in my head. So lets see what comes of this. And to those who care, this is a PG post until further notice. I believe we have 3 forms of thinking when we are doing or accomplishing something. Basically 3 states. They are Frantic, Hesitation and Natural. Ok first the frantic. This is when we press for something and are basically trying to hard. Case in point the Canadian men's hockey team when the played the US. Another example comes down to relationships. Sometimes people like the idea of something so much that they force it in their mind. Kind of like putting the round peg into a square hole. You may achieve some level of success when you are in this state of thinking, but really it is ineffi

I don't care for Christmas. Gift giving and gift receiving is part of Christmas. I have no problem giving gifts. In fact, I love giving gifts to those that are in my life and those who appreciate it. My problem is that I hate receiving gifts. I'm not too sure when this started. As a kid I loved receiving gifts. As a more mature person not so much. I feel awkward. I buy myself what I need or want, when I want it. So when somebody else does it I feel strange.

Ah, what a year it has been. The progress I've made is remarkable. The 2nd anniversary of my emancipation is just around the corner. In order to continue that progress its time to burn some shit. I've never done this, nor been part of one of these events but on the 15th I'm going to burn a bunch of pictures and shit. Should be fun. If you see some large flames in Kelowna on that evening, don't worry its all good. Any other suggestions are welcome.
