5 minutes for eternity
The nicest words I've heard in a while, I heard them today when my boss asked me to stay a few extra minutes after the day was over. He called me into his office and I thought "Ooopsie, maybe I did something wrong..." -- Well... Nope, he just wanted to tell me that he's very happy with my work and that he likes the way I handled the reports I was supposed to give him from last week's tests ("Tu as fait un super beau travail, je suis très content.") -- I just make sure that everything I do is done according to the rules, I put my heart and mind into it, and I have to admit that I'm a little bit of a perfectionist.
We all need this kind of encouragement, especially after spending some time thinking something's wrong after a failure in life. I see myself as a new person now; strong, independent, decided and much more mature. There's nothing wrong with saying it, so yes... I so rock and my boss is seeing it! That smile on his face after a job well done sure made my day.
My name’s not Annie, but…
I sang this song all day at work, feels like me. Annie Waits by Ben Folds.
And so
Annie waits, Annie waits, Annie waits
For a call
From a friend
The same
Its the same
Was it always the same?
Annie waits for the last time
The clock never stops, never stops, never waits
Shes growing old
It's getting late
And so he forgot, he forgot
Maybe not
Maybe hes been seriously hurt
Would that be worse?
Headlights crest the hill
Shadows pass her by and out of sight
Annie sees her dreams:
Friday bingo, pigeons in the park
Annie waits for the last time
Just the same as the last time
Annie says you see this is why Id rather be alone.
And so
Annie waits, Annie waits, Annie waits
For a call
From a friend
The same
It's the same
Was it always the same?
Annie waits as the last...
Headlights crest the hill
Who will be the one for evermore?
Annie, I could be
If were both still lonely when were old
Annie waits for the last time
Just the same as the last time
Annie waits for the last time
Just the same as the last time
Annie waits
But not for me.
An Inconvenient Truth
If you love your planet...
If you love your children...
You will see this film.
That's the introduction line in the "An Inconvenient Truth" movie website. I had no idea it was out in theatres, but I just received an e-mail from a friend in Toronto who went to see it and highly recommends it. Global warming is not a joke, political stuff aside (I know some people will say Al Gore is a clown and so on, I don't care...), maybe this is the kind of reminder we need to stop polluting and start thinking of what could happen if we just don't care about the place we were given to live in.
What I Wouldn’t Give (Holly Brook)
Feeling like I can't forgive, but I want to
it's like I don't know how to live, I’m afraid to
I used to think take them as they come, without hesitations, no
now it's like my head is filled with lies, and persuasions
As the sun begins to fall I hear her calling
out to me she's sayin' hurry it's one more day gone
What I wouldn't give just to forget
so I can remember how to live again
I wanna live again
I am feeling dissonant, and distracted
the toxic chemicals are spilling in my head
and they're bleeding deadly reactions
and as the moon begins to rise
he shows me all the colors that I’m hiding I’m hiding myself
What I wouldn't give just to forget
what I wouldn't give to get some rest
so I can remember how to live again
I wanna live again
Am I desperately losing this fight
when I should really be choosing my flight
take me now
What I wouldn't give just to forget
what I wouldn't give to get some rest
so I can remember how to live again
I wanna live again.
Tadoussac, here I come!
Guess what I'll be doing this weekend? Camping and enjoying the Festival de la Chanson de Tadoussac. Not to mention I finally will get to see the whales, woot! My friend from school/work and I are hitting the road on Saturday to relax after a busy week. I can hardly wait.
I'm going nuts with long shifts at work (which I love, don't get me wrong) and coming home too tired to actually talk about anything interesting, but I'm here reporting in case anyone cares.
