New Life

I'm feeling the change now. Like all change, that hollow feeling exists ... that void, a darkness that sits in between all events, like a gap between breaths.

But no more blue collar work ... oh the land where a man is strong and emotions don't exist. A place where the beauty of language, words such as "paki" and "chink", is and are kept alive and well. Where opinions fly like truths and women light a man as a hungry lamp.

Preparation for September

The Preparation has started. Next week I will work four days, and then after that not more than 2 days a week so I can get prepared for the fall.

So much to do. Since I am starting up a chapter of the council of canadians I am doing some reading. Maude Barlow, the national chairperson, has written several books. The first one I am reading is called
Blue Gold and is written about water issues. It is an interesting, and concerning read. The essential message is that we are running out of fresh water, everywhere; however, the research was not well carried out. I am hoping that our chapter can lend itself as a research service for the council: it is well needed!

Secondly, I have to start reading articles by Linda McCargar, a doctor of Nutrition at the Uni that I wish to do research with. She has about 10 papers out on issues like nutrition in the hospital, weight loss and diagnostic techniques.

Perhaps I will also start pre-reading. This fall I am taking "Revolutions in Physics: The Structure of the Universe", an introductory course on Nutrition, Anatomy and Organic Chemistry. It will be fun. I am so excited to be out of the blue collar world (aka f*ck f*ck f*ckety f*ck f*ck) and into a more engaging environment again. Money will be very tight this year ... I will have to work part-time, but I am looking forward to learning again!

The Germans are back!

Ah yes, the Germans are back - it is wonderful!

They are such wonderful people ... it makes the house shine.
