Shopping Daze

Went to Limeridge yesterday with Jess and Sandra, planning to "just browse" with a limit of ONE "fantastic feel-good buy". Ohh the good intentions of mice and men...

Of course most stores had major sales or we used Sandra's SPC on double discount day, so they are all justifiable.

Jess convinced me to try Bourbon Chicken, apparently the new Manchu Wok. I have to say the chicken is delicious but the chinese food is very north american-ized. Still delicious though I'm sure that any "real" asian would scoff at that comment.

So anyways I bought a couple of longsleeves from GAP, a super comfy sweater from Urban Outfitters (only $15!), and a beautiful pair of Skerry Vinter boots from Trehorn, in "ocean depths".

Side note: I love love LOVE the boots - usually when it rains I have to trek through a soggy, muddy path to get home in canvas shoes or flip flips but no more! I am a brave new person. And who says that shopping isn't therapeutic?

The Problem Today

I know this reinforces stereotypes about older persons and may be offensive to some, but it was so damn funny I had to post it.

"Who Isn't?" by Each Passing Day

I don't expect to be the best at anything
but I think I'd like to be good for something
other than screwin' up every single thing I touch
no matter how hard I try, my best just ain't good enough

and who isn't waiting to be changed
and who isn't praying to be saved

it terrifies me to think that this is all I'm meant to be
just some kind of stupid weed, good for nothing...
and at night when I shut my eyes, but I can't shut off my mind
I long for a time when I felt good for something

and who isn't tired of waiting for change
and who isn't tired of praying just to be saved

if you're tired and you know it
clap your hands
if you're dyin' and you know it
clap your hands
well I'm tryin' hard I swear it
clap your hands
but I'm dyin and I know it
clap your hands...

I'm sick of waiting for someone to change in me what I hate
and I'm sick of praying to some god who might not know my name
and who isn't dyin' to finally change
and who isn't prayin' that God knows their name...

who isn't?

Lookee Here

I've got a new one now. It's here. Check it out, I quite like it.

Don't worry, I will still be updating this one periodically. But the other one is much easier to update on the go and in this age of instant-everything, it's hard to find time to sit down and actually start writing.
