I wonder how painful getting shot is.
Ripped from National Post
Apparently some teenagers got into an argument and the one whose Mama didn’t take time helping him express himself sufficiently, lost his temper and shot the one who had a point in the stomach. I’m not trained in human psychology and have spent as little time as I could muster figuring out sociology. But the progression of events from conversation to disagreement to heated argument possibly followed by abuse, should not lead to murder. Or should it? In which case I think there are a couple of people I need to murder.
I wasn’t fortunate enough to be close enough to the skuttle however I ended up being 30 minutes late for a very important appointment with my agent! Lots of other people were stranded making getting on the trains a battle that only the skinny and/or fit could win.
These kinds of situations bring out the absolute worst in people. The elderly get jostled by the young who refuse to give up their seats and offer it to someone who is frail. One old lady got her walking stick caught between the train and the platform and no one offered to help her get it out. They just watched her struggle with it and one lady was kind enough to talk to the train operators to wait so the elderly lady could get her stick out.
The contents of someone’s backpack spilled to the floor because the people beside him would not tell him his bag was open. They watched him as he struggled to gather his belongings from the floor of the train and people bumped against him almost causing him to fall over while they rushed in and out of the train.
I want reparations!!!

I want payment for the inconvenience of having to take a different and longer route to the important meeting with my agent.
I’m sure the old woman wouldn’t mind having someone pay for the anxiety she experienced in suddenly finding her expensive walking cane trapped between the train and the platform.
How about something for the young man who was humiliated on the train?
But alas, we’re going to get NOTHING. Instead the tax money being withdrawn from our paychecks is going to go into paying for this hooligan’s defence in a court of law. His idleness compounded by his empty head has inconvenienced the whole city and his father should be made to pay. If he ends up with however many years for attempted murder, his father should get 1/2 of that.
IDIOTS!

On a side note, I went to SHARON’S, which is a jewelry and fashion store located at 690 Younge Street. In October, I visited this store and ended up purchasing a pair of pretty earrings.
Cute earrings...
At that time I signed up to be on their mailing list (which they haven’t taken advantage of) and the deal was that I could go on my birthday and get a free pair of earrings! So I went in yesterday and true to their word, I got a pair of earrings!!!
Much of their stuff doesn’t really suit me, but I think I’m falling in love with my earrings.
First pair on my ear.
New Birthday pair!
Aren’t they kayuuuuuuuuute?
