Nugget of Wisdom

I found this while browsing my documents today, seems a while back I had a moment of clarity.

No matter how hard we attempt to process what we delve from our daily forays into our surroundings, in mind, body and spirit; in no capacity can we ascertain the gravity of what is truly set in motion.  Our entire world is but a microcosm in the seemingly mechanised activity of our surroundings, to deep to grasp but ironically pseudo-tangible enough to chase.

The Big Picture

Pain and frustration leave a giant hole in oneself.  Deep down in your marrow, and in your soul.  It feels like your inside had commited suicide, nothing left but a massive void... dead space, locked up with do not enter tape splayed everywhere.  Well fear not for there is a solution to that problem, and that is Jesus.  It isn`t easy, and you don`t automatically have a pain free and frustrationless life.  But rather its like having that painful giant hole in yourself, but it isn`t a void, its filled with the calm, radiating warmth of knowing that their is more to life, that everything will be allright in the end.  No matter what on earth happens to you, no matter how many times you`re kicked in the teeth or dragged through the mud, you can look forward to walking with Christ.

Frustration

When life hands you lemons, you're supposed to make lemon-aid.  But what about when life hands you lemons, then kicks you in the nuts?  There are always ups and downs in life, and at least you can't get any lower when you reach rock bottom... though at rock bottom you could still get kicked in the nuts.  To quote the rather horrible 80s hair band Poison from probably their only famous ballad,  the night is darkest before the dawn, so as I write this rather sad, sad, song(rant) I'm just wondering when that dawn will come.

#FAIL

Hey Jack, let me address you in some lingo you should understand,  your speech was a hashtag fail.  Congratulations, you got yourself a home at Stornoway and are the offical oppostion leader!  It however sounded last night like you both won the lottery and became Prime Minister in the course of a couple hours!  Enjoy your seats, but tread carefully.  For the people of Quebec that gave you 58 ridings are going to eat you alive when the realize as opposition leader you can't keep any of the promises you gave them and come to realize that Anglophones and College students (Including a 19 year old) make horrible MPs in Francophone Quebec.  You know what an orange wave turns into in a couple months?  Try an orange ripple.

Majority Blue!

Here comes the Orange wave!!!  Or is it L'Orangé Wave? Because it stopped in Quebec.  The Canadian ridings spoke and we got a conservative majority.  Now we don't have to worry about voting for at least four years!! Sit back Canada and watch the magic.

It's That Time

Playoff hockey is here, and that means only one thing... several years knocked off my life expectancy due to stress.  I am not the only one, several people I know have the same disease I do, but lets say their's has progresed to the next stage.  Watching the game last night between two fellow sufferers of your-success-is-my-success-so-don't-screw-up-itis, was quite the show to anyone else who wasn't watching the TV (so no one,) but alas it is the best, and only way to watch!

A look into NHL operations

Wheel of morality turn, turn, turn, show us the lessons that we should learn.  That pretty much sums up the workings of Colin Campbell on NHL discipline.  Raffi Torres gets for games for a borderline call on Eberle.  Guess what?  Eberle played his next shift.  Kyle Clifford boards Chris Tanev head first into the corner boards and what does he get? Nothing!  Is Tanev playing? No!  Campbell has to go along with his arbitrary wheel spinning for dolling out punishment.
