“Order is never observed; it is disorder that attracts attention because it is awkward and intrusive.” EL

There are some relationships with people that are always awkward. I ran into a few of this them weekend. 1) when you dont register the guy, whose calls you always ignore in your new phone, he calls and you answer and ask who is this?
2)An ex says your name while out, and you cant tell your friends who it is, till 20 min later (he had a hat on!)
3)Running into the guy that you've run into several times before however each time its weird. (so this time i chose to just ignore to avoid the newest awkward encounter, but i wonder if he saw me too and did the same thing)
I think the best thing to do is acknowledge the awkwardness in any situation, except maybe the phone one....with that one you both pretend to make plans for a coffee "soon", hang up and save that number under "awkward dont answer"

“Beggars fear no rebellion”

Theres a flow to society, some people like to fall outside this flow and break social norms but to be honest i really like to just blend in.
This is why i find that people dont give money to people playing instruments in the metro and on the street. In Square Victoria metro ive seen more than a few really talented singers and musicians playing for money. I just find that when your walking with 100 people down a corridor nobody can really stop to search their bag or pocket for change. Im either going into work or trying not to miss the metro, you cant stop.
I also feel like everyone would stare, and think a variety of things from shes nice to shes crazy, I guess she likes the music or shes got tons of money, or how could she like that?
Today I gave a guy 50 cents for playing a giant chello, he wasnt one of the best and he definitely didnt say thank you in words. I may have seen it in a nod or the eyes but I was too concentrated on my leap outside the marching line to work to register the moment.
I like the most of them though, except a woman yesterday, I had to bite my lip to not laugh because she was singing terribly about leaving work at 5 oclock. I did enjoy the hand drummer at 830am he was pretty upbeat but really made me feel like I was in a herd of wild animals.
I can only imagine what its like to be them putting themselves out there. Today I saw a guy just sittin there holding out his hat and I thought, atleast sing, do something! but then I thought, would I give thim money then? and I still wouldnt have. A) because most people suck, B) I just dont like doing it purely for the action.

I truly believe if you really want something there is a way to get it.
There is no untouchable parallel universe, there is only here this life and now.
Lately ive been seeing alot of dreams come true for alot of my close friends, things they dreamed about for a long time.
But --you cant just want something, you really have to work for it, sometimes that work is hard and it involves sacrifice, learning, practice. Nothing ever worth having...is just handed to you.
success = effort x want
I don't believe in heroes I believe in learning from your villains and making your own dreams.

My 5 year plan?
Are those revised every 6months?

To do/ not to do

What moments in your 20's define you 20's?
Will we only know when we are 40? Older people always says that phrase that they wish they were 25 again, and it worries me because i wonder what is it! What am i not realizing or, am i doing those things that those 40 year olds regret not having done or wish they were doing again. I guess the only way to avoid that is to do anything you want and not to limit yourself in anyway. Are the 40's defined by wishing you were 20? lol i sure hope not, and i doubt that it is. : )
So in light of this i googled... things about being in your 20's, i found both the things you have to do and those youll regret when your 40.

To do:
Surround yourself with wise mentors
Become a lifelong learner
Travel
Learn to listen and handle criticism well
Develop an active, healthy lifestyle
Read a classic
Go on an overseas missions trip (ugh)
Create a monthly budget
Start a Roth IRA (RRSP)

Go to a concert
Learn a foreign language
Start a blog
Get your college degree
Pay off credit cards
Stay in a hotel that costs over $200 a night
Read the Bible cover to cover (not going to happen)
Explore your family of origin issues (positive and negative) and pursue growth
Figure out the type of person you want to marry

“Every day is President's Day when you have an intern!” Letterman

Ive always dreamed of what it would be like to be an intern, and i have to admit its pretty cool. I work at a company where there are no time cards and lunch is an hour ish and you can leave whenever you want. Its okay if you 5 min or even 10 min late you dont need to call in. Its nice, unfortunately i have to take the bus which is probalby the worst thing ever. I expressed this to the people i work with only to later realize that you cant say you hate the bus to people who work in the environment. You also cant have a plastic water bottle on your desk. Its fun to see what the professional world is like, to be in the crowd of suits. I'm not going to lie it makes you feel special.
