i have someone to spoil me. 4 months ago

and even fulfill my fantasies.

my sweetie gave me an exquisite white orchid yesterday.
that was after i told him that it was ‘one of those things’ that i dreamed of but never found practical enough to get myself.

i’m a lucky hog.

a cruel lesson from the universe? 4 months ago

I’ve just found out that one of my best friends (if not THE best), Joseph, passed away over the weekend. I meant to get together with him to celebrate his birthday since Jan 5… somehow it seemed that there was plenty of time, that it was OK to let other things take precedence.

Today I find out he’s gone and the only way I can see him physically is in the casket, provided I fly to Toronto…

I’m feeling sad, and happy for Jo at the same time. If it were up to me to deliver his eulogy, I’d be speaking of his amazing zest for life, his unmatched ability to seize the moment, his sense of humor that respected no authority… Jo was one to actually travel extensively, explore intellectually and passionately enjoy anything that he could. He is just about the only person I know that I can honestly say DARED TO LIVE.

I salute you, Jo! I know you didn’t believe in after-life… But I’m sure you’re making the most of what there is on the flip side.

(and sorry about that birthday dinner, maybe we can somehow catch up later, when I’m there too?)

depreciated rrsp 4 months ago

oh yea, this should b good.

i haven’t looked at the value of my rrsp portfolio in like… 2 years.

considering the current economic slump, i may tomorrow be reviewing… what… 40% of it’s original value?

definitely a good thrifty way to experience a few moments of sheer horror (if u’re in search of that sort of experience).

on the other hand, if u factor in the loss, that might actually be quite an expensive way to amuse oneself.
