Day 1: Stuff Getting Rid of Challenge Redux

dedicated to my Sara. and all of my Sarahs.

***the sound-quality in the above totally does not do her goddess justice. nor is it my favorite of her work. just one of those repetitive motivational catchphrases that gets stuck in my head whenever i am experiencing metamorphosis theme. and i feel like there is a lot of good symbolism in the lyrics to tie in with all of the "occupy x" happening in the world right now, and perhaps if you wanted to, some allusion to the Pleiadians and ascension of consciousness.

but anyhow.
I am giving this blog thing another go. I got discouraged when the hyperlinks didn't work my last post. [UPDATE: I have fixed them - check the awesomeness.] I would like to take a seminar on blogging but it seems like I am really busy with other stuff right now so be patient while I learn the idiosyncrasies of this art form.

If I were Ricky Gervais, I would re-tweet all my anti-fan mail.
but since I am me I will just leave it at "Haters Gonna Hate."
I was temporarily distracted at the Canadian Tire Store yesterday upon overhearing a sales associate giving a hefty speech to a gentleman interested in purchasing this particular brand of tires. I slowed down. I started eavesdropping.

Jens (who has been employed by said corporation 14 years and is not on commission) was explaining to Jean (who came here from Rwanda 3 years ago and still isn't sure he likes winter so much) why these newfangled Nitrogen tires are all the rage.

He looked to me as if to ask what I needed assistance with and I explained I was just interested in listening and learning about these radical tires, and he said something about Nitrogen and I said something about yes, I follow because my parents are chemists. (which really just translates into I took grade 10 science and possess basic understanding of the concept that various elements respond in various ways when exposed to various stimuli.)

Anyhow. My two cents was that once I heard a quote that "All season tires are like all purpose flour. Okay for everything but not really good for anything" And I LOVE my snow tires. I wished well to Jean and would eagerly vote Jens employee of the month. I went on to ask them where they keep "the signs with the orange and black words on them"


           if this shirt had a cute meme slogan on it, it would say :
                  "sharpie wielding anarchists do it themselves"

And the next door neighbor's house which is identical to mine is for sale right now. So its time to make proverbial hay while the sun shines and take a free ride off the marketing they paid for. A cheerful elderly fellow in the C-tire checkout line who struck up a conversation with the baby strapped to me agreed. His sister sold her house that way.

blog comments questions concerns and HATE MAIL always appreciated :P
still really insecure about my writing style but looking forward to looking back at this years from now and noticing the personal 'evolutions'. (see also: interior monologues about haircuts - "by the time this grows back, my life will be completely different."

lolz.

(and if anyone can tell me about the origins of that t-shirt meme, I would appreciate it for the sake of random useless knowledge.)
