A New Character...

Today, Intrigued by the resemblence between so many different people, I came up with a new Blog idea. A new character, or person that intrigues me in some way. Could be a friend, family, someone from the past or just a stranger walking on the street.

Today's character is a man, long beard, grey hair. I've never seen this man walk but yet I see him everyday, sitting on the street corner. Alongside this man is a small dog whose tongue is always hanging out the side of it's mouth. The man never really talks, but just sits there... watching life go by... or maybe just waiting for an end, or a new beginning. His silence is persistant and confusing. Does he just not have anything to say at all, or does he simply not feel he can say it? He seems to be a cookie cutter image of the streets of downtown. Lined with people.. dirty and sleeping, with no where to go. Do they even have the will to do anything about it?

A perticular series of unfortunate events...

Once upon a time there was a girl and her sister. We will call these two girls Maj and Neesha. So one morning Maj and Neesha were getting ready to go to work, everything going fine... listening to music drinking coffee, the usual. They go out to the car, SCRAPE off that THICK calgary Frost and start driving.

On This perticular morning though, Maj noticed something different about her car. For some reason every time she would even think about letting go of the steering wheel for a second, the car seemed to RUSH towards the curb. Feeling rather perplexed by this phenomenon, she politely yelled to Neesha her sister. "Get the HELL out and look at my wheel." In a FLASH Neesha was out of the car shaking her head. "Your FREAKING tire is flat" she said. Maj, feeling fairly satisfied with this answer, summoned Neesha back into the car. As the gas station was only approximatley one block away, they figured they could get there and pump it up. Now i never said that our two characters were BRIGHT.

After driving about 5 meters Maj decided that they would never make it to the gas station without ruining SOMETHING. So at this point, Maj runs home (the WHOLE BLOCK) and gets the mother to drive Neesha to work, and calls the father to change her tire ... TO THE DONUT!

Father dear shows up, goes through the procedure of explaining and showing Maj how to remove a tire.... now if only it would have come off.. after trying for about half an hour, Maj calls AMA and man (he was pretty good looking) shows up with his LARGE PLANK OF WOOD. With two vigorous strikes to the tire, it was off. It seems it was corroded to the car. At this point many insignificant events happen. The Donut goes on, they give their thanks to the AMA man, Maj thanks her father, eats a sandwich (yes, it was 8 am), and promises to take care of something for him in return.

She gets in her now DONUTED car, and drives to FOUNTAIN TIRE, where they proceed to tell her that she needs $700 of repairs.... and two new tires. GO FIGURE, more repairs. She gets one of the tires and goes to work. Gets in trouble for well... um .. thats another story. Meets up with mother dear and at approximatley 7:30 pm. And to finish off this good story, she forgot to do the thing she had promised father dear.

All in all, it was bad day, but.... soon her car will be fixed!!!

The Coming of Fall.. and the passing of time

As She walked down the street one frightfully cold day in September, she realized that she had come to a fork in the road in her life. One where she would make very important decisions, and let go of some mistakes she had made in the past. As it happens every year, She'll let go of that one relationship that actually didn't matter, and move on to the one she has now. The decision to be happy with life, and accept herself for who she was and who she will be. Never to pretend to be something else, for he will need to see the true person she is.

They say "Be true to yourself", but what does it really mean? How can we actually be true to yourself? Should this mean that we are to be ignorant to others feelings and thoughts? With everyone you meet, they affect you or change you in some way. For better or for worse, this is the way it is. The struggle to always make the right decision is constantly there. "Go with the flow" isnt really a choice anymore. It always seems to be predetermined, so does this mean that the feeling that she is destined to be alone, is true? She is constantly trying to make all the right decisions.

The coming of fall seems to bring back those feelings of loneliness felt for so long, looking at other relationships and wondering if they will end up happy.

You can never really tell. A person can only hope for the best, and prepare for the worst. Time will pass, the leaves will fall, the seemingly everlasting snow will come and the cycle will start again.

Here's to a new season, new beginnings Love and heartbreak!

Flashback....kcabhalF

As she sat there at her desk of her Medeokre job the thought about times passed. About the last "job." Thoughts of merching in the field, the infamous "bell." and the saying "JUICE." A smile swept across her face while thinking about these bygones. It was definatley a good time, always striving to be something better, and always competing with someone else. It was always there! Now she sits in an office, typing up shipping documents and answering a telephone, loading printers with paper and toners. Watching her life drift away in to an oblivious blunder of weeks and weekends filled with nothing. There's always that time when you start to think "will my life ever mean anything?"
