My name is kinda long. Kinda.
Of course friends and family call me by my separate short nicknames, and each cannot use the other apparently... because it just feels weird (ie. you automatically get viewed as a cousin or brother or aunt if you call me by the family nickname.)
Anyhow, when someone that is in either camp calls me by my full name - it feels so formal.... like I am in trouble or a stranger or something....
Just a strange thought of the day... carry on...

Elections....
Here I was getting excited because I thought the next Mayoral elections for T.O would be this October!
Sad that I have to wait a year for this.
I'm pretty much ready to vote now.
Early ballots anyone?

My Chai
In my attempt to get rid myself of caffeine, yet have that special mid-day or morning drink every now and then I randomly tried a Chai Latte (with almond milk) at the coffee shop near my work.
OOH! it has become my new fav drink! Move over - my other fav drinks: homemade amaretto hot chocolate, licorice spice tea, bengel spice tea ....
Today I snooped and took at look at the Chai milk container.
I will share it here just to keep it on record. I am presently attempting to track down which grocery store sells this product, if it is even sold in one.
So delicious! No preservatives. Though this is made with black tea (hence still with caffeine) they also have a Rooibos chai which I hope to find (caffeine free).
AANND its a Canadian based company!

A mushy poem (or rambling) for yer er-day
I like your face.
I would like to see it every day.
I like your eyes.
I would like to see them smile every day.
I like your hands.
I would like to hold them every day.
I like your lips.
These I wish to kiss every day.
I like your voice.
I would like to hear it every day... even if I may not listen too well.
I like your strong arms.
I would like to get lost in their embrace every day
I like your chest.
Here is where I would like to rest my head and hear your heart beat every day
I like your warmth.
I would like to be engulfed in it every day.
I like it all.
I never wish to tire of this nor take it for granted... every day.

more on coffee.. not so evil?
I have coffee stains on my fingers and on my scalp.
I hope this will not affect my sleep.
Enough said.

Excerpt from my personal blog... and oldie and a quote I mention every now and then...
Today I heard that the biggest diseases of our society is : Hunger and loneliness
My older brother said that once. It rings in my head every now and then.
Loneliness as one of the biggest sickness in our society. Until then I never even would have thought of loneliness as a "sickness" that people "suffer" from. But its very true.
Alot of people suffer from it.
I see it everyday at work, when I see seniors. It is a given when we grow older our friends die and our family becomes too busy (that is if we have a family).
But sometimes I think that if you are young and already lonely, how much more will you suffer from it as you age.
Isnt it odd how the overall population of the world is growing greater and cities are becoming over populated and yet despite this fact, it remains that loneliness is rampant everywhere.
Everyone, even the most reclusive, I believe, longs to be loved, longs to be heard, longs to be noticed by someone.
No matter how "independent" someone claims to be, we all have this longing inside us. I dont think that anyone can associate loneliness with anything happy.
And I'm not only talking about loneliness in the physical sense. One can be lonely in a crowded room, with friends and family, in a marriage, in a relationship.
We not only wish to be loved by people in general, we long to be loved by that ONE someone.
I read in a book once:
For the error bred in the bone
Of each woman and each man
Craves what it cannot have,
Not universal love
But to be loved alone.
-Gift From The Sea - Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Not so sure now if I would agree on those as being the biggest diseases/ sicknesses of society.
There are much more in my opinion.
But I would definitely put loneliness up in the top 10.
I think maybe it would be safe to say that it could be the root cause of other diseases or behaviors.

Cowspiracy
There's a saying somewhere about buying a cow vs. free milk...
I say, Milk is bad for you!
... and heck, so is the cow apparently....
Can't wait to watch the documentary cowspiracy....
but first gotta fill up on .... beef burgers, meatballs and steaks....
