And there so great in scared it's too good to be true. I have a history or writing people off over minor things thinking each minor thing is the tip of an iceberg I'm also kind of scared of my life turning into a really generic romcom. All crazy thoughts: I've finally met someone I'm attracted to, is financially stable and whom I can talk to. An I scared of running out of problems?

but recent stories about Kim Kardashian having lost weight due to her fitness routine are just a bunch of horseshit. Her ass would still give a translink bus a run for its money. Who knows what these fame whores will look like once their rapidly perishing vanities disappear. To lose weight via exercise is a monumental task with incredible amounts of effort and sustained, long term pain. Can you see either of these requirements being fulfilled by any of that loathsome clan?

My mother had an abusive childhood. The more the people that should have loved her hurt her, the harder she tried to be loved. She tried her best to raise my siblings and I better, but trauma carries over. My sister quickly understood that the worse she treated my mother the better the treatment she would receive back. I'd like to think I didn't do likewise. But, for the past few years as I've found myself neglecting the people that love me, and chasing after someone who doesn't love me, and never respected me enough to treat me fairly, I've realized I have the same unhealthy relationship pattern as my mother. Now, how to fix it?

And you'll be happy :)

No one tells you that as a hairdresser, you'll start off making minimum wage... and that's after spending $15,000 on a hairdressing diploma and further education. I love what I do, but I can't think of any other career that requires this much training and investment of time and money for $12.65 an hour. That being said- please tip your hairdressers, we need it to survive!

I can't wait for Uber in Vancouver so I can never ride in a smelly over priced Taxi ever again! The NDP can delay it but change is coming and the monopoly on transportation is coming to an end.

I confess, I'm not a perfect person, and today I break down. It's the last day I have to remember someone that was dear to me. I saw the red flags early and chose to ignore them. I did that because I did not want to beleive such warnings about someone, I thought the red flags would go away. And I thought I could go for one more risky heart-venture. The things she did were unspeakable. I fancied her a sweetheart, and maybe she is for the right guy, but it is not I. As I dished out trust to this person holding out for a better tomorrow. One where she would act on my strengths, or one where she'd treat me with equal respect to how she treats any human on the street or any establishment. But it just couldn't be. I had to be less, I had to be brought down, she had to help me see the floor, over and over again. This was her lesson for me. This was her gift for me. To bring me as low as possible, to mess with my mind, just so in the end, my worse would come out, and justifiably so, she could walk out, tall, proud, and accomplished. Well she did, and I got to find out. So now it rests forever. Forgive me for wanting to see the best in her and bring it out. Forgive me for wanting to fix someone who wasn't broken. Forgive me this risky venture. And Forgive the melodrama that somehow ensued despite my desire to keep it simple. The fog is always to the advantage of the one that throws it.

If you're going to let someone floundering drag you down - I won't let you take me down with the pair of you as well.

Still Creek in Burnaby used to be a polluted drain for much of Vancouver's industry.. paint, creosote, logging industry byproducts, illegal dumping etc It was of no value as a spot to visit but now it's been cleaned up it is a beautiful waterway. I rode my bike underneath the Skytrain this morning and you can pick up the trail alongside the creek off Douglas. Then you have a traffic free ride to Burnaby Lake Rowing Pavilion, just the best no-cost entertainment you can get!

When you're checking your iphone while riding your bike with no helmet, use your left hand so if you have to hit on the brakes you won't flip over your bars, and god forbid, break your phone.
