coloured contacts

Green. Grey. A pair each. They're coming from Sao Paolo and are currently somewhere in Campinas. Yes, these are names of places in Brazil.

I am thankful to be living in a time where globalization has allowed us to share items, resources, and ideas across the globe with such great ease. The great explorers of old never saw this coming when they sailed the seas to colonize land. Well at least not at such speeds that we travel in today. I'm expectng the package to arrive some time by the end of this week. The FedEx tracking says Thursday but I always expect a delay. I AM SO STOKED!!!

I am now going to attach my name to the brand of contact lenses so that when they arrive I can give them a review to make contact lens purchases a little easier for the next person. The reviews prior to mine were very helpful to me for sure.

resurrection

it's been too long.

i confess that i have forgotten.

many things have changed. many things are yet the same.

i am here now, for what it's worth.

i wish to publish this quote.

in the hopes that no one else has come up with this exact quote.....it came to me while i was having a serious conversation on msn with a friend.

"Relationships, no matter the age, will always be work-in-progress."

you can't expect everything to be perfect from the start, nor can you expect to fix things right away. it's like cooking. turning up the heat to speed the cooking won't allow for the flavours of the ingredients to be released properly. why do you think they invented the slow cooker?

we all have our own wells

"Why do we fall...? So that we can learn to pick
ourselves up." -Thomas Wayne, Batman Begins (2005)

Now what do you do when you've been falling for so long that you can't remember how to stand on your own two feet? Unfortunately humans weren't created to fly so we can't just spread those wings and go back up to where we fell from. Even Batman had his fancy hooks and ropes. Spidey (who is mostly human) had his web. And don't give me that shit about Superman - he's a freaking alien. Back to our topic. If we could fly, we'd never fall (except for the time when we were still learning how).

You gotta hit the ground. Eventually. There is no such thing as a bottomless pit.

And hitting the ground sucks. Trust me, It freaking hurts. You're lucky if you don't get bruised or if you don't break or fracture anything or even die! But there's an upside to this. Someone (it better be yourself) gets to learn how to pick your ass up. Whether someone (or a few) are there to (help) pick you up you get off the ground and you go from there (hopefully not to the morgue).

I think I finally hit the ground. I can't pinpoint when I first started falling... initially I think it was sometime in grade 4... but all I know is that this spiral downwards has come to a stop. Wow, that's a full decade right there. See? I told you it sucks. I'm not gonna go into the details of what kind of falling this is or how I hit the ground. All we need to know is that I'm in the process of picking myself up.

Here's to the future. May I not make the same mistakes lest I spiral downwards all over again.
