“When you leave New York, you ain't goin' nowhere”

I meet alot of people who say they love Montreal, and i meet a few people who say they dont like it very much. It bothers me when people dont like the city! I want people to like it here so that i dont feel as though im missing out on something else out there. My sister said she talked to someone who stayed here in MTL for a bit and didnt like it they also never used the metro system. I dont think that you can enjoy something if you are not using it properly. Trying to ride a bike backwards might work but its hard! If your not going to embrace the functionality of a city then you will not enjoy it. Cities are like big machines where we manage to work and operate fluidly without bumping into one another, making life possible. So, i think that if you come here and expect to do things a different way than they are done here, you will have a bad time. You cant act like you are in calgary when you are in montreal, you cant act like you are in new york in cowansville. If you want to enjoy a city you have to be the city your in.

“The test of an enjoyment is the remembrance which it leaves behind”

I recently read another blog about accomplishments we have and are proud of and how there is no trophy for these accomplishments. Ive come to realize that many of the things we strive to have in life, once achieved are not that exciting to anyone else but yourself. I also find that so many people are out there trying to impress and promoting their accomplishments on the proverbial bucket list by which we all compare one another. When i bought my car, i originally wanted a white one but settle for a silver one, i cared for about an hour that it wasnt white. My parents wanted me to be super excited about this car, i was happy but that's about as far as it went (im not one to jump up and down). All it means is now i can go places and not have to take the bus, good for me. Having a fun life is not defined by the books in your bookshelf, the groceries in your cart or the fact that you like to go to yoga.
Life is not a novelty item.

“All doors open to courtesy”

Feminism from how i perceive it, for one among many things is to break the barriers of things labeled as male or female.
Today on the bus, while sitting i watched a woman or two stand right over men who didn't offer their seat. Now, one could say they are not offering their seat because wouldn't that go against the false idea that women need seats more than men? Would a woman be offended that a man offered her a seat purely based on the fact that she was female. No, i don't think so. Although some people can classify more actions under feminism than it really is supposed to stand for I think we should still consider the importance, or at least the value in chivalry. Chivalry; knightly virtues, honor, courtly love... modernized.
