Current Song Annie is in Love with (as if you care)

"The Grace" by the Neverending White Lights, feat. Dallas Green

When all this loses meaning, you'll never want it back somehow.

Awake but still I'm dreaming and never waking up alone...

Where I'm not alone

Looking back...

"Because a world without something greater than just science is quite disturbing to me..."

My cousin J in Edmonton (who is having a baby real soon by the way....YAY!) said:

"What happens when faith in gods or the study of higher powers becomes a science, itself? I'm sure at one point, it was assumed that human thought and behaviour was something beyond science, but you should know by now that it has very much turned into a science. (Some would say "reduced to a science," but I think that's a little narrowminded.)"

I'd like to hear from my friend Peter on this one.

Hugs,
Annie!

What Do You Have to Say?

Let's Play...

The mind can bring so much more pain than the body...

As you probably know, human beings normally use a very small percentage of their brain power.

However, if you put them in emotionally charged situations - like physical trauma, extreme joy or fear, deep meditation - all of a sudden their neurons start firing like crazy, resulting in massively enhanced mental clarity.

Remarkable solutions to impossible problems often occur in these moments of clarity.

Its what gurus call higher consciousness.

Biologists call it altered states.

Psychologists call it super-sentience.

And Christians call it answered prayer.

Sex & the Cottage...

Update!!! Okay, well there is not much to report, except that Ian and I are having a FABULOUS time! Work is good, the apartment is good, we've made friends with the bums down the street, so yeah, all is good.

I'm beginning to think I do not belong downtown (or maybe just certain parts of downtown). The air here bothers me, its way too loud, too many sirens, too crowded, not enough trees, and Toronto has a huge homeless population. I don't know how I feel about these people
anymore. I used to feel pity, now its a mixture of pity, disgust and extreme dislike for them. Something must be done!!!!

I keep thinking about a cottage, by the lake, where its quiet at night and you can actually see the stars. I keep thinking about how well I sleep when I'm up at the cottage and how much healthier I feel when I'm there. The food even tastes better. But wait...this is ME!!!! I'm a pure city girl at heart, who loves to watch Sex and the City and drink martinis and shop, etc. Its true, I do love the city, with everything it has to offer. But honestly, how often do I take advantage of these things, like museums, galleries...umm...the harbour front, the C.N. Tower, catching a leafs games or even better, a blue jays game (riiight). Maybe its because I'm too friggin' EXHAUSTED at the end of the day, travelling in traffic, either on the subway, crammed like a sardine in a can, or on the streetcar, where its even more cozier cause I get to snuggle up against some drunk whose breath smells like beer (its not even 5 p.m. guy!!!).

Anyways, I truly don't feel this way about all parts of Toronto. Honestly, when Ian first moved down here to Toronto last August, he lived in Little Italy and it was such a fun experience hanging down there. I've already expressed my interest to Ian that we eventually move down there. It has that city feel, but without that CRAZY CITY feel. More residential streets to walk down, not as many bums yelling at you...or yelling period. More trees, less police. More grass and less condos.

But anyways dudes! Peace in the Middle East! (I know, wtf?)

Cheers,
Annie!

Please, don't ever come back again!
