Best quote I've read in a decade

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive" - Anais Nin

Darkness I crave; light I seek.

I feel like fading to dust.


My heart is still there, buried beneath layers of rusted armor.

Locked inside.

With a million different keys.

And only one I wish to set them all free.

You don't have to _____ if you don't want to

 

It took a long-ass time for me to enjoy Paramore's latest album. Over a year, in fact. It's growing on me.

It's always nice when you find uplifting graffiti.

Tuques and beanies

On my downtime at work I was browsing our merchandise shop when I came across what was clearly a tuque being labelled as a beanie.

I don't know if you know the history of the tuque (and I'm not about to lecture you), but it's pretty much a staple of Canadian culture. When it gets cold, people wear tuques. Now, you can argue about the spelling of the word toque, but in the end, we're all just looking to keep our noggin' warm.
Here is my tuque. I don't know why it's sideways, but it'll have to do.

 So when someone calls a tuque a beanie, well, I boil on the inside. I decided to take a poll amongst my coworkers: I showed them the hat above, and asked them "How would you describe this hat?". All six of them unequivocally said it was a "tuque", with 2 people calling it a "winter hat" before clarifying. I'll take a picture of that poll for due diligence and post it below when I get the chance.

As you can tell, I'm pretty particular about my data. The poll was informal, but the results were real: don't call a tuque a beanie! It is frankly, insulting.

Thank you for listening to my rant. Have a good day.

CBDiablo

I thought I saw some snowflakes falling today but it seems the sun chased them away.

I had a busy week. Lots of new releases came out, so a lot of people were eager to order. And boy did some people place big orders - 6 bottles of CBD here, 60 grams of Blue Dream there, no big deal. Except it was a big deal because many people had been waiting weeks to get their hands on out-of-stock product. And within 2 days, the CBD oil was gone again.

Anyway, just a glimpse of what my work life is like.
In other news, I got a Nintendo Switch - Diablo edition! Holy fizzlebangs it is SO awesome. I've never owned a console in my life (aside from gameboys) and it is the pinnacle of entertainment to be able to sit sprawled out on a futon and play incredibly fun games. If you're reading this and you have a Switch, hit me uppp!

I'm on the hunt for a concert to go to. I know it's not typically how that works, but I realized the other day I hadn't seen any music I liked live in a while. I should probably go to something different than Paramore for a change, but if they're in town... well, it's always a good time. Oh, and I did see Kardinal Offishall at a private event with Aurora the other day, that was neat.

That's it for now!
