REMEMBERING....... Thursday, September 11, 2003 07:20 a.m. Are you ready for some...marketing?..... Linking football with patriotism and profit, it doesn't get more American than this. From USA Today..."On-site, Pepsi will launch a new soda brand, the NFL will pitch corporate tents and at least 20,000 military personnel and their family members will be seated prominently in a tie-in with the Pentagon dubbed 'Operation Tribute to Freedom'."....I think Pepsi should've named their new soda Freedom Pepsi...you could order one to wash down your Freedom Fries..."quench your desert thirst" could be a new slogan. Maybe a contest where you look under the bottle cap for miniature weapons of mass destruction to win a holiday in Texas. I would imagine Jessica Lynch's publisher will have her front and centre promoting her upcoming book. I cracked up when I read that Rick Bragg of New york Times fame was going to write her story, I mean, you can't make up stuff this good. Sorry to all my American friends for making fun but sometimes you guys just plain ask for it. Speaking of making fun, here's a picture of me on the way to my first day of school, with the obligatory backpack, water bottle, baggy shorts and reversed ballcap. All though it's cutting into my blogging time I'm really enjoying school so far. Remind me I said that when my first paper is due. I'm off to Victoria again this weekend, (more Chinese medicine) so till next week here's a couple of photos from our beach last night. Our local first nations people had a blessing ceremony to recognise their ancestors and some of ours as well. It was really nice, especially the two young boys celebrating their heritage with dance. ...Peace everyone. 1.Beach ceremony. 2.Dancers on the beach. 3.Young dancers. 4.Beautiful blankets. 5.Oblivious to it all. Thursday, September 4, 2003 09:20 p.m. Your booty is hypnotic..... I found this pamphlet at my coffee place today, and it is for real. I'd like to know two things; how is it interactive when it's called self hypnosis, and who the hell brings you out of your self induced trance? I think someone needs to bring Beyonce back to reality. Go read this article from today's Vancouver Sun. Beyonce, when I say bootylicious, you'll snap out of it. Tuesday, September 2, 2003 09:15 p.m. Stress management....... My long legged blonde has a sister who lives the busy city life over on the mainland. Her and hubby drive SUV's to opposite sides of the city daily for work. They have five kids enrolled in every activity ever marketed, a huge house constantly being remodelled, a Harley and a dog. And on top of all that, now she's put her back out. Apparently she was stressed and running late, so didn't have time to warm up for her yoga class, which of course, she takes to reduce stress. Here's a few photos from the week that was....... Show us what she's won Vanna. I thought you had the keys. The attack of the giant snail. Charlotte's web. Sunday, August 31, 2003 09:28 p.m. It's a guy thing On a scale of 1 to 10, one being female and ten being male, rate this article for anal retentiveness....via Mark Saturday, August 30, 2003 05:19 p.m. Entertainment Tonight.... I just saw a clip from the MTV awards in which Justin Timberlake referred to his "homeboy". Since I can't rap and have never so much as visited the hood I have no idea what a homeboy is exactly, but it seems to me Justin looks more like a good ol boy. He certainly dances like one. Here's good news from the music world. Take all the time you need Brittany. Big news out of England, the Spice Girls may be reuniting. It seems Mel C. has been trying to convince the girls to get back together, without much success however. This could be Sonja's big break. I see her as Bratty or maybe Potty Mouth Spice. Saturday, August 30, 2003 03:40 p.m. I think this is a beautiful poem.... The young women they make them so lovely these days, magnolia-petal faces, lookaway eyes. Do they realize, I wonder, how beautiful they are? Some do, the ones with cloaks of hair that float waistward and full-lipped smiles. But some, I see them at bus-stops, or when I go for my license renewal, fingering learner's forms with awkward turned-in hands. Timid, these, as the creatures whose footprints, only I find in the morning garden. Unknowing, they inhabit the domain of the fragile. I cast an envious, protective eye and can remember no words to warn them.    from the book of poetry, The Creature I Am, by Denise Cammiade(Sono Nis Press) These words from our Finance Minister today, speaking at a news conference regarding the economy..."in the last quarter, we experienced negative growth"....I think George Costanza from Seinfeld said it better..."shrinkage" While we're talking growth, make a note in your daytimer or set the vcr for next Wednesday evening. A series called Sacred Balance with David Suzuki starts at 8:00 p.m. that evening(check your local listings). We need to watch, listen and learn. Think about this mind boggling fact as you drift off to sleep tonight..we are now the most numerous mammal on the planet. I'll put that into context for you, there are more of us than there are rabbits, more of us than there are rats or mice. Sweet dreams. Saturday, August 30, 2003 02:18 p.m.
