It's Okay To Be Away...

When I Fly Away,
It Won't Bother Me,
Because Going Away,
Means Coming Back To You....

Within My Mind...

I have my best thoughts when I'm alone. Real epiphanies.
I usually forget them by the time someone comes around.
Which makes me think...maybe they are like trees that fall in the woods when no one is around, because life goes on as if they never really happened at all.
If you don't remember it, how can it change your life?

Hush

It's not that I have nothing to say. I just don't have anything I want to say. That's an entirely different thing.

Some things are better left unsaid. Some things are better experiences than stories. One day I'll tell you my story and maybe you'll wish you were there. Or maybe you are here, unknowingly, and when the story is told you'll wonder where you've been.

Regardless, this is my story. When I'm ready and the chapter is done, maybe I'll tell you all about it.

Today I Learned...

Today I learned that you are never alone and somewhere, at some time, someone else has gone through what you are going through.

Lean on your friends for all the insight and advice they can give on the darkest and brightest days...

Today I Learned...

This morning I opened the elevator to discover a man who had been trapped in there for 30 minutes.

Today I learned that the 7th floor really isn't that many flights of stairs.

Today I Learned...

Today I learned that a banana is actually a berry.  Strawberries, Blackberries and Raspberries are not berries, they are fruits.  Cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, green beans are fruits, not vegetables.  Actually, I knew about the tomatoes already, but someone should let the Grocer know he's got it all wrong!

Back to the Banana's though, I also learned the following:

1. The Cavendish is the kind of Banana found in grocery stores.
2. The Gros Michel was the original Banana of choice until it was almost wiped out completely by a fungus.
3. All bananas are genetically identical.  Perfect clones, but susceptible to disease.
4. There are over 1,000 varieties of Bananas in the world but very few are palatable.  When the Gros Michel was almost wiped out, the Cavendish was a perfect substitute.  There is not substitute for the Cavendish.
5. A cluster of bananas is called a hand, and a single banana is called a finger.
6. Bananas are naturally radioactive due to the Potassium 40 they contain.
7. Over 100 Billion bananas are consumed annually.

There were some additional points, but these ones seemed the most interesting to me.

Today I Learned...

Today I learned that even on the dreariest of days, all it takes is a few good friends to turn it all around. The food and Vodka might have helped, but I'll credit the girls. You should never be too tired or busy to celebrate a friend, birthday or not!

Sitting in Gastown, enjoying my Friday...it doesn't get much better than this. The week is over, the office is closed and my glass is half full, not half empty. Sign me up for a refill....it's time to dance.

I might have had a few at this point...
