Unexpected turns

Life can teach you things from the oddest of things, events, or people. You expect your decisions to be clear cut, happily displayed in front of you, so all you have to do is say option c. Yet, we learn from the chaos. To fully illustrate this theory, look at the classic cliche of a child in a park. The child on a swing is reaching towards a higher goal; the child on a slide is gliding towards the unknown. However, the child in the sandbox doesn't know what she wants to do, so she sits and gets dirty and what do you know-she learns something. Thus one can learn from indecisiveness, for one didn't know what one wanted at the beginning, yet along the way a moral of the story seeps into one's comprehension.
Every child is asked the same question-what do you want to be when you grow up? Common responses have been astronaut, ballerina, doctor, famous singer or actor and the list continues. Yet, I should assume that being a fourth year student, I should have somewhat of an idea. Well...I do have an idea, it's just that right now it seems so far off, a dream. However, I need to know how to make that concept become reality. All I know for sure is that I want to include books in my career. More specifically, I want to do something with children's books. I have wanted to do something with journalism, yet that too is a thought. Who knows...maybe one day I'll own my very own shop-selling children's books and have a little bakery on the side, selling the most important food to eat when reading a child's book-cookies. I could write on the side, thus allowing myself to do what I like. But like the person in Dr. Seuss' "Oh the places you'll go" I just don't know where I'm going-but I have an idea.

Call me sentimental, call me sappy, but as I watched the end of Will & Grace I couldn't help but think about life. People enter our lives and they decide they just don't want to leave. THey establish a place in your life and all major events in life are experienced with them. People make an impression on you and they help you to become the person you are. I hope that in many years time I can raise my glass and toast to the best friends a girl can have. It's neat how a person can make such an impression on you, from a simple "hi, my name is..." to "oh my word you will not believe it...". Through comedic situations and obvious friendship, Will and Grace brought millions of viewers a sense of closeness. It also helps to answer the timeless question-can men and women be just friends.
I just want to raise my glass to the end of a great show and to my friends, those who have crashed my dorm room countless times, messaged me so often, occasionly sent snail mail (which one should always support-tee hee!) and countless emails. To friends, who start out as an observer in your life and become a major participant. To friendship, the thing in life that makes us smile, vent, cry, and realise what a hell of a ride it is. Lastly, to life plans, for we all meet for a reason and it is interesting to see how that reason unfolds

INXS

INXS rocked! It was a fun concert, full of energy and bright, blinding lights. The lead singer, JD Fortune of Canada picked on Rock Star INXS last summer, was fabulous! Not only is he super hot, but he has talent, humour, and very interesting "dance" moves. A part that just made me shake my head was that he'd have a smoke when the musicians were playing. oh canada...I howled because the people in front of us had binoculars which they used all of the concert. Ladies and gentlemen, the INXS opera..lol! But on the whole it was such a great time! Oh, did I mention how we had amazing seats:) Thanks Dad!!
