5 Year Anniversary

A wierd date on the calendar for me, Ive been here for 5 years now. Wierd because, if I worked out the arithmatics, thats as long as I have lived in Vancouver. AND thats also about 5 times longer than I thought I was going to actually stay here. 5 times longer! Honestly, thats a significant multiplication factor on early estimates: I couldn't of been more off if I was trying to hit the ocean with rock, but was aiming towards Saskatchewan. Maybe its time to go (but, I say that every year). Its at this point where I would love to possess such intangibles as "Plans", "Goals" and "Career Direction". And heres some random notes:

- FAO Schwartz is now owned by Toys R Us. They better not put Geoffery the Giraffe in front, or Ill never buy Toys ever again.

- In somewhat related news, GM stock is now trading under $1. And Fiat, the famous Italian Fix It Again Tony's cars, will soon become the 2nd largest automobile company in the world, next to Toyota. Like what the? Thats like the Indian Tata Car corporation starting to outselling Honda.

- I wonder what is the percentage of people that plug their ears when they are sitting in a public toilet stall, and then hear someone occupy the stall next to them. Toilets should be installed with Bose Noise Canceling Earphones.

- I was on a hike with my buddy Tolan, and he was telling me how his dad still calls him at random annoying hours, asking for instructions on how to do something on the internet. Once, his dad did take lessons at the local community center, but that didnt work because Sisters of the local convent ran those community classes, and ignored that section of the computer lessons since they insisted there is too much evil on the internet. Maybe they have a point. You know the percentage of people that probably watch porn on the Internet? Id say probably 98%.

- On another related note, on that hike, I realized I absolutely need Goretex hiking shoes.

boa noite
