So, just spent the Thurs-Sun up in Toronto at Fanexpo for the 3rd year in a row. This was the first year we cosplayed and it was so much fun, we even entered the masquerade! Gotta say though, experiencing the post con funk, it's such a great experience to be around people just like you, and having zero judgment among 1000s of people. Another positive...

I hear ya about the post con funk. I think I'm still sleep deprived from Fan Expo weekend too lol.
Has anyone else gone back to their CD wallet? I dunno about everyone else, but I've been stuck on shuffle because of MP3's for the better part of a decade. It's strange going back to listening to an entire album track to track. Especially going back to CDs you owned way back when. Gotta say, I'm having the time of my life listening to CDs...

Word of advice to everyone:
Know who you are, NOT what you think you are. There's a big difference!
Don't bow to the popular or what's accepted. Be you regardless of outside pressure.
You'll thank yourself later for saving yourself the trouble of being someone you're not.
It's stressful being someone you're not! The sooner you realize this the better.
Figure out the characteristics that...

I think the difficulty is seeing oneself without personal bias.

I wrote what I wrote there, but I still have trouble taking my own advice, it's tough!
Why is it I never expect others to change or adapt to me, yet the same courtesy is rarely extended to myself. I have 6 really close friends, so it's not like I'm so socially awkward that no one understands me. Tired of these people that expect others to change and adapt to them, what an arrogant way of thinking.

We do like to try and adapt our environment. 
Really need to get rid of the so called hate in my life. I let the smallest things bug me, yet they're things that really don't affect what so ever. No use in expelling energy towards things that really don't matter when I could be using that energy on things that matter.
Ever feel so "ADD" that you can't figure out what you wanna do? I wanna listen to music, I feel like going for walk, I feel like watching tv, I feel like talking, I feel like eating, yadda yadda yadda. I dunno what to do!
Every once in awhile I really get the urge, push, feeling, whatever you wanna call it, that I need to go after something. What that something is, I don't know, I wish I knew! I never feel satisfied unless I've achieved something myself. I don't have issues with getting help when I need it, someone to show me some new tools and how to use...

Thanks! sometimes I don't know how to verbalize or put down how I feel, this is one of the rare times!
Haven't posted in awhile, as there really hasn't been anything worth posting about.
Anyway, just finished the 5km Annual Rankin Cancer Run, raised some money, and came in with a time of 26:30, beat last year's time by 3:30 mins. I feel great to have participated in something so big, and something that hits home for me. My brother in law's memory was with me...

So I just had a conversation with a friend, and she's one of those people who think there's someone out there for everyone, and I said well there is also the possibility there isn't someone out there for everyone. And she accused me of being negative. So I said, ok, it's like saying with how large the universe is, there has to be other intelligent...

My brother in law after nearly 2 years of battling colon cancer has come to the end of his journey. I receive this news while celebrating the birthday of one of my closest friends. I have no idea how to feel, I'm drunk, I'm finally alone, I'm crying uncontrollably yet I feel relieved. I'm relieved he's not suffering anymore, yet I feel guilty I don't...
