Mandy Moore - Cute Without the Makeup

Oh and she is the one on the left...you know....fyi.

RIP Sarah Ryan

Today I attended one of my sisters best friends funeral. I didn't know her too well but she was always an extremely nice and fun loving person when she was around. She was less then a week away from her 20th birthday when her and her friend got into a fatal car accident when they were driving back to Toronto from London on sunday night. Her funeral was attended by at least a couple hundred of people, just showing how much of a loving person she was. Another thing that makes the situation even more horrible is that she is leaving behind her young baby daughter.

I don't really know what else to say other then that she died way too young.

Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind. ~John F. Kennedy, 1961

Well it looks as though the new plan for the continuation of the Afghanistan mission to 2011 looks like it is going to be voted for in the coming weeks. This means there is a good chance I will be travelling to the desert at least once in the next 3 years. As I have already said in the blog it is something that I am willing to do. For myself, for my country, and for the people of Afghanistan. Obviously there's a chance I wont go as well, which would be fine. Just saying that there will probably be a good chance.

I miss a lot of bad foods, mostly I miss pizza, donuts, fish & chips and cookies. I haven't had any of them for a little over a month now, let alone any other unhealthy food. Once I lose the weight I want to lose I will be to have these foods in moderation, but not until then.

Thats it for today.

Let me know if you read this blog.

sometimes strange things happen

I walk into the big five story glass building as if it were yesterday. Step into the elevator and press five, check my watch and then look up right as the door closes. I dont work here anymore, I havent for eight months. But this doesn't matter because its just another day at work. I hang up my coat and bag in the locker area and then swipe my access card and enter the main work room.

As I enter the room it is empty and suddenly I realise I am not at work, but I am in one of my high school classrooms. I turn around in confusion and I really am back in my old high school. There's no one around except for one girl, an old classmate, who is blowing up balloons in a half decorated classroom. "whats the occasion?" I ask her. "We have been waiting for you" she says and then tells me to come here, she is holding something in her hand and motions that she wants to show it to me. I am still quite confused as to what is going on so I agree to her request and go over to see what it is. I cant stop thinking about whats going on and when I get over to her we immediately embrace each other and start to kiss. We stop after a minute or two and I ask whats going on.

That's when things went black...or bright, whatever way you want to look at it, and I was on sidewalk in a city 100 kilometers away at 5:16 in the morning totally out of breath.

Carpe Diem

So far from working out I have lost about 10 pounds or so and I really do feel great, most of the time anyways. This morning on my run I almost threw up due to the fact my body just can't keep up with my intensiveness. Well not actually, I think the feeling is from too much exertion as well as being slightly dehydrated. But either way it wasn't very fun.

I have also been eating pretty healthy. I haven't had any junk food/candy/fatty meats/greasy food in a while now and that has also made me feel really well.

I think my mom is intentionally holding back on paying me back my money because I don't think she wants me to join the army. I have told her how I really feel about joining, citing everything I wrote in the previous entry I made on here about joining but I still don't think she wants me to especially with Afghanistan going on until 2011 now.

Anyways, I am gonna get it soon enough and I guess looking on the bright side the longer it takes for me to join the army, the longer I have to get in shape before I go which defenitely won't hurt.

Valentines Recap...Among Other Things

Well my mom got me the book Girlfriend In A Coma for valentines day as well as a bag of candies. Unfortunately I won't be eating the candies as I have pretty much stopped eating crappy food. However the book I am very excited to read.

Anywho, as you can see from two posts ago I am almost at my goal for the moneys thanks to my Nana for sending me some. Much love goes out to her for that. Now I just gotta wait until my moms next payday for the rest of the moola. Its getting so close and I am getting so excited!

Somedays I just feel like working out all the time. If my body didnt need rest/healing periods I probably would. I really do enjoy running, its a very peacefull and relaxing thing to do, until your body starts hurting when you reach the end of the run. Today I am working out my legs...exciting.

Holiday of love

Oh yeah happy valentines to all the lonely single people out there.

The Snuggler

I made these cause I was bored and they suck

I love pepperettes

Lately I havent been online much. Which has defenitely been by choice. I spend most of my time trying to find productive things to do. Like updating my birth certificate, drivers license, and even doing some correspondance high school courses. I also have been spenting a lot of time working out improving my running skills and getting some big muscles.

I find myself needing to keep myself occupied and doing something to keep myself feeling like I am doing something worthwhile and also to keep myself from going bonkers. Which is something that could just happen...Just kidding...I hope.

But I am going to get back to watching Undeclared, and having some pepperettes.

Awesome

Dedication

Life is nothing but the echo of joy disappearing into the great chasm of misery.

Remember

I just came across this story on the Canadian Army website. I think that it is very important to remember the people who gave their lives while serving our country and trying to help the people of Afghanistan. Here are some exerpts from the article.

TORONTO, Ontario — They are familiar to us all, all too
familiar. We have seen them on the nightly news, on the front pages of our daily
papers and on the Internet smiling back at us, so full of purpose and life. They
are the faces of the Canadians soldiers and one diplomat who have been killed in
Afghanistan, since 2002.

Artist Joanne Tod is painting these faces on small birch ply
panels that will eventually make up a Canadian flag measuring 8' by 12', which
the artist hopes to sell. The proceeds will be donated to help military
families.

"I have no intention of making money from this myself," she
said. "I see myself as kind of a conduit," Joanne has a passion for her art and
subjects.

It takes her about six hours to complete a portrait. Due to
the nature of her craft—painting on wood—she does not take any breaks until the
painting is complete. To date, she has painted the portraits of half of the
Canadians who have died in Afghanistan.
