F-word(s) of the day: jazz Festival - I went to some free concerts at the Jazz Festival over the weekend.  The one I especially like was a group that featured percussion.  I think the leaders name is Billy Wallace?  Their performance was quite unique and exciting.  They combined drumming from different cultures in a way that I felt worked, unlike some other fusion music that find unfitting.  Also went rollerblading around David Lam Park, walked around Yale town, and sort of went to see the fireworks at Canada Place.

F-word(s) of the day: Fading Fantasy - Many of you know how much I want a Vette (remember the post about the corvette fender?) Recently, I have been keeping a close eye out for a Vette.  And I found an ad for a corvette that seemed like it was in acceptable condition at a very reasonable price. So I got really hyped up and started to give this whole buying a Corvette thing some really serious thought.  I was extremely excited about it and had arranged with Scrotanium to go check out the Vette.  After a few days of debating with myself, trying to think rationally and not be blinded by my Corvette fever, I have decided that I shall not and will not get a Vette at this time.  The cons outweight the pros like Fred Flintstone outweighs Wilma.  After even more thinking, I have come to realize that I probably will never ever get a corvette.  Sure I will be able to enjoy a corvette when I am 50 like many other men having a mid-life crisis, but that isn't quite what I want.  What I really want is to be able own and drive around a Vette when I am still "young".  But after some careful and serious thought, I really don't visualize it happening.  So now I am feeling kinda sad, kinda blue, kinda disappointed.  I have just come to realization that the dream I have aways had will not be coming true....

F-word(s) of the day: my Funny Friend - I recently found out that a friends of mine got cancer.  When I heard, I really didn't know how to react.  Didn't know what to say.  I don't even know what to think.  I hope my friend wasn't offended/upset by my lack of a dramatic response.

F-word(s) of the day: trans Fat Frenzy - Cookies were on sale so I bought some cookies to share with my fellow collegues at school.  This whole bag for $10!

bought 2 bags, which ended up to be a total of 38 items for $20 =P

You know how recently the news said (again) that we are eating too much salt?  But if you recall, during the past few years, the news also said that we have been eating too much fat, and too much meat, and too much sugar, too much starch.  And some lady was found to have eaten too much lead because she was eating too much tuna.  It's just that we are simply eating too much.  And now there are more and more obese people.  I have been finding that in a alot of my research.  More and more people need coronary stents because arteries are getting clogged. More and more people are needing eye surgery because they have glocoma because they are diabetic.  More and more people are needing renal dialysis and liver dialysis.  More and more people are needing total knee replacements and total hip replacements due to oestoarthitis, which has been shown to be linked to increased body weight......What's my point? I am not really sure......oh, btw eat more fruits while you can.  Did you guys hear about the dying bees? http://news.independent.co.uk/environment/wildlife/article2449968.ece
