Don't be a stranger

So.. um.. I remember saying "Don't be a stranger" to someone. The thing is, I can't remember WHO. Which sucks because if I'm saying "Don't be a stranger" to someone, it means that they're cool, ya know? And well, I'd hate to be a stranger to them, hahaha.

Shiz.

Hi Alice.

Hey Oh

Hey guys,

I've got a present on the way. But it's for me. And it's being shipped from the U.S. A neat little addition to my... collection. But you don't know what my collection is - that's because there is no collection, I'm not collecting anything, I just thought I'd buy this object and then I can use it. Great huh?

But I'm not selfish, no no. A, I know you don't read this blog, but I know you'll be really happy when you receive that giga-bar of chocolate in the mail - fine swiss chocolate, the very same type of chocolate that I once tried to make you believe was given to you by J, but it was a clever ploy. I bribed J to give you that chocolate bar, but I guess you knew that because she told you.

You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to//So that when they turn their backs on you//You'll get the chance to put the knife in

No no, harsh words are not meant for anyone! I just really remembered that clever line from Pink Floyd's Dogs. I mean, I guess if I had a lot of enemies, and I was a murderer, I'd follow it. Or maybe if I was a vigilante. But I'm not, so I guess... Dani California, rest in peace!

Am I really random? You know, a lot of things are random. Some things aren't random, like, a "Hello, how are you?" "Good thanks and you?" isn't random, because it's practically a reflex.

But asking someone out of the blue what kind of pie they like, that's pretty random, and actually a new hobby of mine. I mean, I'm not a pie fanatic, but when I'm bored and there are people around I don't know and they don't seem too preoccupied, I'll ask them what their favourite kind of pie is. Now obviously, this isn't really vital information, but if maybe one day I decide to do something productive and I end up keeping in contact with these strangers, wouldn't it be great if I could bake them a pie without wondering "Gosh, I wonder what kind of pie they like...".

Now I know this is an incredibly unlikely scenario, but life is filled with an incredible amount of unlikely scenarios that all fit together somehow, wouldn't you say?

I've got another thought that I want to explain here, but that's enough for tonight. But so I don't forget, I'm going to code my thought here into this blog so I don't forget it for next time: "Follow one person and witness the chain of reactions they unleash."

Good. Thanks for reading.

Shambles

noun.: a condition of great disorder

I just felt like knowing the exact definition of that word - have no fear, my life is not in shambles. (:

Or maybe you really hate me and you wished my life was in shambles. and this blogpost has made you curse me under your breath. I dunno.

So it's the very beginning of September, and all around me, I see all these people going back to school, be it Elementary, Middle, High or University, and I think to myself, geez, I sort of wish I was doing something. See I have a hard time doing things I'd rather not do. I guess I need more willpower.

It was easy before, say, in grade ten - I just knew that next year, I'd be at it again, except grade 11. And then again for grade 12.

And after Grade 12, hell, it was also pretty easy, just do Katimavik!

And after Katimavik... wait what, university? But I'm not ready! Well, besides the fact I didn't get accepted for September anyway.

So get a job, Gabe! Get a job!

Right now, go update your resume! Do it!

Okay okay Charles, I'll do it... I'll do it tomorrow. Okay? Tomorrow, I'LL DO IT TOMORROW. I won't make as many mistakes if I do it tomorrow.

I get jealous of the people leaving. A bit. They're doing something, they're learning stuff. I'm not.

But I'm alive, and I'm doing things. That's a start, right?
