Ever Wonder?

Randomness..
Did you ever wonder...

• Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
• What disease did cured ham actually have?
• How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
• Why is it that people say "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every 2 hours?
• If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a 'hearing'?
• Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?
• Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
• Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?
• If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?
• Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!
• If Wiley E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?
• Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?
• Why did you just try singing the 2 songs above?
• Why do they call it an 'asteroid' when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a 'hemorrhoid' when it's in your butt?

Speaking of randomness...

Higher Edumacation

First of all I'd like to welcome June, the month that marks the beginnings of summer, the month of promise, joy and ease. I can appreciate summer so much more because we only get 3 short months of it. June also means the start of many awesome festivals and outdoor events.
Moving on lol, I've been thinking about it and have decided that I will definitely be continuing my studies. I won't be going anytime soon, I'd like to take a couple of years off, volunteer, work, gotta save up cash, and then eventually go for my MA.....in Europe!
That's right! I've been looking into it and doing online research, looking up grad schools that offer a Master's in Art Therapy/Art Psychotherapies and surprisingly there are a lot in Europe that do! Initially I was leaning towards France or Italy but I doubt they offer these programs in English, so I finally settled for England. I mean it's a huge step I know but I figure after a few years, I'll be more mature, experienced and ready. Apparently it's tough and intense, but I know I can take it on 'cause i'm not alone. It's an amazing opportunity and it's Europe hello! Lots of people do it or at least would love to. Not to mention that it will look super good on a resumé.
I've realized that I've been really limiting myself, in what I could do/achieve, and I've always been saying that I want to travel or study abroad but I guess the only thing that was stopping me from doing that was myself. I can be such a chicken. I hate being tied down by fear. There's whole array of open options and opportunities out there and I feel like I'm really missing out because I'm shunning them all down.
Well, I now vow to be more open and ballsy.

I absolutely adore their new album!!

Bisous

The Hand Kiss conveys courtesy, kindness, respect and adoration.

Last night, a cute French boy spontaneously kissed me on the hand. I don't think I've ever felt such flattery from a stranger before. It was simply sweet and unexpected. My heart still melts and I smile to myself like a fool when I think about it.
OMG ..I'm such a cheeseball! I guess that makes me a sucker for romance and old-fashioned gallantry. Sighhhh...

Voulez-Vous.. Aha!

I'm super hyped about this coming weekend! I don't think I've ever been to Montréal, I've passed by it on my way to Québec City but I can't recall ever staying there at any point. In fact it was right around this time last year that I was taking an intensive French course in beautiful Québec City. Anywho, this weekend I'm going with 3 other amazing gals of mine. We've been wanting to go for quite some time now, I can't believe the day has finally arrived!! Activities, festivals, museums, botanical gardens, cafés and nightlife...oh yeah, we've definitely gotta make the most of it.

Voilà! 2 songs to get us into the French spirit ;-)

Mission CN Tower Climb

Pumped off nothing but a Red Bull, a nasty protein bar, and my own bubbly energetic determination, watch me climb and conquer the tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere...

My climbing time: 1 hr. 4 mins.

He's So Hot it Should be Ilegal

Sometimes, when I see a very physically appealing man in movies/shows or even in person walking down the street, my heart aches a little. I'm not even sure if it's because he's so friggin' good-looking that I can't help but be a little jealous of his man beauty and apparent perfection (which does happen as weird as that sounds) or if it's the knowing fact that I will never be able to have him. Maybe it's bit of both. 
Sometimes on the subway, my eyes spot attractive businessmen in suits and I ponder to myself, is it seriously humanly possible and legal for a guy to reach those heights of heavenly beauty, so much so that it could manage to provoke intrigue and disgust from me at the same time?? 
Anyway, it's like my heart's arm is hopelessly reaching out to him, knowing it will never be able to touch him, to caress his textured hair, feel his ruggedly handsome face and its features, hold his soft hand, absorb the warmth of his body...
Ok, I'm sounding like a creeper aren't I...
I'm just trying to say that guys like that make my heart slightly yearn and long for them. And I hate to admit that! I don't want to come off as a psycho romantic, desperate, love-deprived puppy, because as I said before, this only happens on occasion and because I realize no guy on earth is perfect and thus could ever fully satisfy the cravings of my soul. Only God could. I'm perfectly happy being single. I don't think I'm ready to get into a relationship for a while, I mean, heck, I'm still maturing and discovering new things about myself every day! Also, I kinda like this feeling of not being tied down and committed to someone. I'm entitled to a little selfishness for now right?


Although I'm not gonna lie, if I saw this fine specimen walking down the street, I would give all that up in a second and lasso him ;-)
