Sometimes you just want a big piece of cake
Posted on October 7, 2011 | 10 CommentsYou know how people say: Hey, I’m totally fine with eating only fruits as being my only form of sugar? I can eat an apple and have my sweet tooth satiated (Meg I am looking at you!) Well that doesn’t seem to work on me,... -
Own up to your actions and words
Posted on September 9, 2011 | 9 CommentsTake responsibility for your actions and words. I know that if I go to a store, and if I am justified in being upset about something, I’m willing to argue to get properly compensated. That being said, I know when I do that, that people... -
The Crisis Climate in Europe: Portugal
Posted on August 26, 2011 | 31 CommentsJust a short note on what’s going on. Yes, I am on vacation but how can you resist a request like this from a fellow Canadian blogger? To say that people are concerned about the debt crisis and the Euro is an understatement. It is... -
Flaws. Here are mine, what are some of yours?
Posted on August 24, 2011 | 13 CommentsI have them, you have them, and Amy from Rainy Saturday has ‘em. (She inspired me for this post) Credit So my flaws? Here goes! I’m tough on myself. Like really tough to where I randomly replay my foibles from Grade 2 in my head,... -
The choices we make and the judgements we receive
Posted on August 22, 2011 | 18 CommentsThis post has no point. I’m just rambling. I guess I feel frustrated that it seems like we don’t make enough of a difference for the super green, but making too much of a difference to not be considered ‘normal’ by others, like being caught... -
“No, it’s too late now.”
Posted on August 15, 2011 | 15 CommentsBF told me this story the other day that his professor recounted to him many years ago: Credit In France, he went in to buy stamps for his business. Since it was a Saturday, he waited 30 minutes in line, and when he got to... -
Aspirations & Dreams of Generations
Posted on August 10, 2011 | 23 CommentsI was just thinking the other day about kids and their parents. More specifically, what jobs their parents held and their kids took afterwards. Using my brother as an example, he’s a freelancer of sorts, and my sister-in-law has a PhD. When I asked their... -
Freegans: I love and hate the idea
Posted on August 8, 2011 | 23 CommentsI just saw a documentary the other day on Freegans, in case you don’t know who they are, from Wikipedia: Freeganism is an anti-consumerist lifestyle whereby people employ alternative living strategies based on limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources. Freegans... -
What is “Success” exactly?
Posted on July 20, 2011 | 5 CommentsImagine this… A guy with a great family, a high-paying high-profile job he enjoys, pots of money banked, wonderful friends and the golden touch with anything he decides to take up (learning a new instrument, sport, language…) Got it? As a society, we’d call that... -
Does how you eat a box of chocolates determine your will to save or spend?
Posted on July 18, 2011 | 30 CommentsIf you had chocolates like this in front of you, how would you eat them? BF would eat the whole box so he wouldn’t have to think about them. I’d eat some and save some for later to “enjoy”. Would you eat all your favourites...
