think tank

it's funny
how we look to friends
the wisdom of stars
bibles, torahs and qu'ran
to figure shit out

and maybe karl marx was right
we should just end philosophy
and keep doing things
rather than just thinking about them
books are great wonderful pieces of life
but life itself we can't read about in two weeks
write about in paragraphs
we have to touch feel and grip with our whole beings.

i find it hard sometimes to explain the way things are
so i ask everyone
i ask myself
i ask the internet
i ask my mom
my dad
but the answers are always simple

to whatever issue
honesty and kindness underlie them
a sense of self importance but not to demean the lives of others

do what makes you happy
and know that people aren't perfect
neither are you
your ego is a big jerk
so just let it be and give yourself time

blah blah blah.

thought bubble over.

weekend rap up/beginning of the week

yaaaap so myself, and four other girls (and a few other cars full of people) went to Prince Edward Island this weekend. It was a really beautiful experience, despite that stubborn rain. I touched the choppy and frigid waters of the atlantic, visited the birth place of the author of anne of green gables, had a lobster buffet dinner (60 foot salad bar) and visited the parliament building in charlottetown. for such a small island, it has so much to offer. i wish i could have died on that beach, it was so beautiful. if that was my last memory above all, it was just so CLEAN and the red sand was wonderful.


on sunday we went to frenchy's (a value village type store but more disorganized and cheaper) and a flea market (marche de pauce). the moncton locals are pretty nice, one gave me his home phone number ! i needed help with finding some bikes (5 exactly).

i am style bike-less. sooooon though, sooon.

i have so much work lol it's kind of funny how much procrastination i have done in the past few days.

toddddday today today we did a promo video for u de moncton. kind of hilarious...i refrained from yelling i just opened my mouth when everyone else was yelling to make that appearance you know????

okay photossss:

day 5

the anarchs of moncton create these great stencil graffitis. it is something i have picked up on here, and they appear often on concrete surfaces (bridges and sidewalks)
i will upload the ones i found tonight, overall they are quite beautiful snapshots of the opinions of the culture. an under belly per se.

day 4

a gooood quote

"trust no one but enjoy everyone"

THREE

aujour d'hui

burritos for lunchhharoos.
and we are going to a mall! lol
i am not excited that this will be too interesting considering it's a mall
i am learning to just go with the planned events
they are usually pretty fun.

class is great, my prof is really nice. we talked about bi-linguilism today and the new casino in moncton that is ONLY in english. lame

most of the residents here are anglophone, but 40% are francophone. crazy eh?


blah blah blah.

i should take more pictures.

maybe on our walk.
