On a more serious note...............Let me tell you guys what ticks me off about certain women...................these are women who are confused about what Feminism actually is...........(probably coz they were not as fortunate as me..waht with my PSR class and everything)......These are the women who think feminism is about being against men and that is a load of bull shit............Its really about women seeking to be equal to men in all respects!!!!
women who confuse being feminist with being un feminine!!!!
I can't stand women who think that they won't be taken seriously if they're attractive..........and they go out of their way to look plain...and pretend to turn up their noses in disdain to anything they percieve to be very "gurly".........all the while being envious of the ones who can carry it off!!!
look at the logic in one such overheard statement............."why should I get all dressed up just so that men will find me attractive?"
I mean who says women dress only for men.............I dress for myself!!!! and I like dressing!!!!
I like looking attractive...............and if that gets me what i want well then SO BE IT!!!!!
I don't have a problem looking attractive and I make myself get taken seriously...............
these women should just drop their masks of wannabe feminism and get to the core issue which is insecurity
They are envious of an attractive girl so they slag her by passing her off as a gitty, ditsy chick!!!
If you think that I am the way I look...........then you should read the name of this page!!!!
Think you've got more to dish out......................Well go ahead then......... BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!

Album Under Rug Swept
Song Utopia
we'd gather around all in a room fasten our belts engage in dialogue
we'd all slow down rest without guilt not lie without fear disagree sans judgement
we would stay and respond and expand and include and allow and forgive and
enjoy and evolve and discern and inquire and accept and admit and divulge and
open and reach out and speak up
This is utopia this is my utopia
This is my ideal my end in sight
Utopia this is my utopia
This is my nirvana
My ultimate
we'd open our arms we'd all jump in we'd all coast down into safety nets
we would share and listen and support and welcome be propelled by passion not
invest in outcomes we would breathe and be charmed and amused by difference
be gentle and make room for every emotion
we'd provide forums we'd all speak out we'd all be heard we'd all feel seen
we'd rise post-obstacle more defined more grateful we would heal be humbled
and be unstoppable we'd hold close and let go and know when to do which we'd
release and disarm and stand up and feel safe

this is my ideal my end in sight

For a twenty year old I sometimes feel really really old.....................(like today)
(I know I usually act like I'm 4)but mentally I feel old.............A friend was asking me about why I want to grow up so fast............Guess he dosen't realise that Its high Time I did grow up............I mean I'm doing my masters!!! I'm out of college..........I now have to seriously think about being independent..............working...............making money................I gotta stop living off my parents.........
He thinks I take life very seriously..........He dosen't know there'll be a host of others who would state quite the contrary..........
I'm at this point in my life where I need to shape up and pay attention to where I'm headed.........the future looks bright with endless possibilities and I'm pretty excited about being in the "real" world as my father puts it...............I can't help getting serious...........He's not that young either, just a year younger than I am............yet I feel I lack the luxury of just having fun and just doing anything I please, which he is privy to......Maybe its why I feel distant from him at times..................I have always had the ability to relate to people of all ages.........however its difficuilt to relate all the time...............
He's a good person to unwind with though................when I want to let go and be crazy..............but you can't be like that all the time........You have to be serious sometimes............you have to have issues............take a stand.........give a damn............
Life is not all Ha Ha hee hee...............
In my life .............
I need reflection, I need really intense conversations, and quiet time to my thoughts, and to hold someones hand, I need love, friends,Books, music, food for thought.......To be intuitive and to question..........who, where ,why ,howcome.............
I'm driven by this hunger within to seek, to know, Learning from life, learning for life..........
lets live for the moment with the future in perspective............I think we can do both...........
Happy living :)

Had a fun time at Jazz By The Bay last night……….cept it did get a bit awkward when Rohan Sq who just happened to be singing there with his band Aqua Flow, decided to dedicate practically every song to me……………
Much to the Horror of a certain someone with me……
Rohan Sq and I go back a long long way……..He’s a great friend and I’ve never heard him sing live ……..Now I know that, He’s also a very Talented singer……….(Suzzette will agree whole heartedly)
I called his mother and asked Her to have him call me………..But as I expected he called me from work today……….But as usual too busy for us to have a real conversation..........I'll have to talk to him tonight..........

Alanis Morissette
You Owe Me Nothing In Return
I'll give you careless amounts of out right
Acceptance if you want it. I'll give you
Encouragement to choose the path you want if you need it.
You can speak of anger and doubts,
Your fears and freak-outs and I'll hold it.
You can share your so-called
Shamefilled accounts of times in your life and I won't judge it.
And there are no strings attached,
You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give.
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have.
I give you thanks for receiving, it's my privilege,
And you owe me nothing in return.
You can ask for space for yourself
And only yourself and I'll grant it.
You can ask for freedom as was
Or time to revel and you'll have it.
You can ask to live by yourself
Or love someone else and I'll support it.
You can ask for anything you want
Anything at all and I'll understand it.
I bet you're wondering when
The next payback shoe will eventually drop.
I bet you're wondering when my conditional police will force you to cough up.
I bet you're wondering how far you have gone and sunk your way down into debt
This is the only kind of love
As I understand it that there really is.
You can express your deepest of truths
Even if it means I'll lose you and I'll hear it.
You can fall into the abyss
On the way to your bliss
And I'll empathize with.
You can't say that you'll have to skip town
To chase your passion and I'll hear it.
You can leave and hit rock bottom have a mid-life chrisis and I'll hold it.

If someone asked me if I was happy.................I would really not know what to say...............Maybe If I got whatever I wanted I'd be happy............But why do I base the idea of my happiness to be contingent on getting whatever I want.............No one can get whatever they want all of the time............
If I had everything I ever wanted I still wonder if I'd be truly happy...............IF I had everything in the world where would I put it.............
sometimes I wonder whether I should even be striving towards being happy..............I have a better shot at being content...........
then I just have to reach what James Allison calls the Bliss-point................an optimum level of functioning...........where I can make compromises and little sacrifices at the cost of my own happiness for the sake of people I love and care about.........would that make me happy or make me resent them even more.......and how much would I have to take (or will I be able to take) before I lapse back to being selfish ol' me................how long, can one want, without having.............how long before ones just snaps and reaches out to grab..............
messy messy messy stuff here................

Subject: Complaints
Never underestimate your Clients' Complaint, no matter how funny it might
be!
This is a real story that happened between the customer of General Motors
and its Customer-Care Executive. A complaint was received by the Pontiac
Division of General Motors: "This is the second time I have written to you,
and I don't blame you for not answering me, because I sounded crazy, but it
Is a fact that we have a tradition in our family of Ice-Cream for dessert
after dinner each night. But the kind of ice cream varies so, every night,
after we've eaten, the whole family votes on which kind of ice cream we
should have and I drive down to the store to get it. It's also a fact that I
recently purchased a new Pontiac and since then my trips to the store have
created a problem. You see, every time I buy a vanilla ice-cream, when I
start back from the store my car won't start. If I get any other kind of ice
cream, the car starts just fine. I want you to know I'm serious about this
question, no matter how silly it sounds" "What is there about a Pontiac that
makes it not start when I get vanilla ice cream, and easy to start whenever
I get any other kind?"
The Pontiac President was understandably skeptical about the letter, but
sent an Engineer to check it out anyway. The latter was surprised to be
greeted by a successful, obviously well educated man in a fine neighborhood.
He had arranged to meet the man just after dinnertime, so the two hopped
into the car and drove to the ice cream store. It was vanilla ice cream that
night and, sure enough, after they came back to the car, it wouldn't start.
The Engineer returned for three more nights. The first night, they got
chocolate. The car started. The second night, he got strawberry. The car
started. The third night he ordered vanilla. The car failed to start.
Now the Engineer, being a logical man, refused to believe that this man's
car was allergic to vanilla ice cream. He arranged, therefore, to continue
his visits for as long as it took to solve the problem. And toward this end
he began to take notes: he jotted down all sorts of data: time of day, type
of gas uses, time to drive back and forth etc. In a short time, he had a
clue: the man took less time to buy vanilla than any other flavor.
Why? The answer was in the layout of the store. Vanilla, being the most
popular flavor, was in a separate case at the front of the store for quick
pickup. All the other flavors were kept in the back of the store at a
different counter where it took considerably longer to check out the flavor.
Now, the question for the Engineer was why the car wouldn't start when it
took less time. Eureka - Time was now the problem not the vanilla ice
cream!!!!
The engineer quickly came up with the answer: vapour lock". It was happening
every night; but the extra time taken to get the other flavors allowed the
engine to cool down sufficiently to start. When the man got vanilla, the

Remember:
Even crazy looking problems are sometimes real and all problems seem to be
simple only when we find the solution with cool thinking. Don't just say its
"IMPOSSIBLE" without putting a sincere effort... Observe the word
"IMPOSSIBLE" carefully... Looking closer you will see, "I'M POSSIBLE"...
What really matters is your attitude and your perception.

Never underestimate your Clients' Complaint, no matter how funny it might
be!
This is a real story that happened between the customer of General Motors
and its Customer-Care Executive. A complaint was received by the Pontiac
Division of General Motors: "This is the second time I have written to you,
and I don't blame you for not answering me, because I sounded crazy, but it
Is a fact that we have a tradition in our family of Ice-Cream for dessert
after dinner each night. But the kind of ice cream varies so, every night,
after we've eaten, the whole family votes on which kind of ice cream we
should have and I drive down to the store to get it. It's also a fact that I
recently purchased a new Pontiac and since then my trips to the store have
created a problem. You see, every time I buy a vanilla ice-cream, when I
start back from the store my car won't start. If I get any other kind of ice
cream, the car starts just fine. I want you to know I'm serious about this
question, no matter how silly it sounds" "What is there about a Pontiac that
makes it not start when I get vanilla ice cream, and easy to start whenever
I get any other kind?"
The Pontiac President was understandably skeptical about the letter, but
sent an Engineer to check it out anyway. The latter was surprised to be
greeted by a successful, obviously well educated man in a fine neighborhood.
He had arranged to meet the man just after dinnertime, so the two hopped
into the car and drove to the ice cream store. It was vanilla ice cream that
night and, sure enough, after they came back to the car, it wouldn't start.
The Engineer returned for three more nights. The first night, they got
chocolate. The car started. The second night, he got strawberry. The car
started. The third night he ordered vanilla. The car failed to start.
Now the Engineer, being a logical man, refused to believe that this man's
car was allergic to vanilla ice cream. He arranged, therefore, to continue
his visits for as long as it took to solve the problem. And toward this end
he began to take notes: he jotted down all sorts of data: time of day, type
of gas uses, time to drive back and forth etc. In a short time, he had a
clue: the man took less time to buy vanilla than any other flavor.
Why? The answer was in the layout of the store. Vanilla, being the most
popular flavor, was in a separate case at the front of the store for quick
pickup. All the other flavors were kept in the back of the store at a
different counter where it took considerably longer to check out the flavor.
Now, the question for the Engineer was why the car wouldn't start when it
took less time. Eureka - Time was now the problem not the vanilla ice
cream!!!!
The engineer quickly came up with the answer: vapour lock". It was happening
every night; but the extra time taken to get the other flavors allowed the
engine to cool down sufficiently to start. When the man got vanilla, the
engine was still too hot for the vapour lock to dissipate.
Remember:

simple only when we find the solution with cool thinking. Don't just say its
"IMPOSSIBLE" without putting a sincere effort... Observe the word
