Welcome to Canada, it's the Maple Leaf State
Canada, oh Canada it's great
The people are nice and they speak French too
If you don't like it, man, you sniff glue
The Great White North, their kilts are plaid
Hosers take off, it's not half bad
I want to be where yaks can run free
Where Royal Mounties can arrest me
Let's go to Canada, let's leave today
Canada, oh, Canada, I Sil Vous Plait
They've got trees, and mooses, and sled dogs
Lots of lumber, and lumberjacks, and logs
We all think it's kind of a drag
That you have to go there to get milk in a bag
They say "eh?" instead of "what?" or "duh?"
That's the mighty power of Canada
I want to be where lemmings run into the sea
Where the marmosets can attack me
Let's go to Canada, let's leave today
Canada, oh, Canada, I Sil Vous Plait
Please, please, explain to me
How this all has come to be
We forgot to mention something here
Did we say that William Shatner is a native citizen?
And Slurpees made from venison, That's deer
Let's go to Canada, let's leave today
Canada, oh, Canada, I Sil Vous Plait

| SICK"I cannot go to school today, "
Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
"I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash, and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry, I'm going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are as big as rocks,
I've counted sixteen chicken pox
And there's one more--that's seventeen,
And don't you think my face looks green?
My leg is cut, my eyes are blue--_
It might be instamatic flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I'm sure that my left leg is broke--
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button's caving in,
My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,
My 'pendix pains each time it rains.
My nose is cold, my toes are numb,
I have a sliver in my thumb.
My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling up my mouth,
I think my hair is falling out.
My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight,
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There is a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart is--what?
What's that? What's that you say?
You say today is...Saturday?
G'bye, I'm going out to play!"
by Shel Silverstein

| Today I accidentally kicked a little old lady's cane out from under her and didn't apologize.

| NougatocityWhen I was told by my eldest sister that she had something for me, I wasn't expecting what I got. Leaning forward on my tiptoes, I tried to get a peak into her bag as she shuffled around its contents. A crinkly object was pushed into my fist. My first instinct was to jump for joy at the sight of the brown paper packaged candy bar. That instinct vanished as soon as I saw that this particular candy bar was missing its key ingredient: the candy bar. I felt a subtle prick of disappointment and foolishness as I was mocked by the chocolate free wrapper.
It took me a little while to realize that Shiloh wasn't just using me to dispose of her garbage. I flipped over the already opened, now piece of trash, so that I could at least inhale the faint aroma of chocolatey goodness. There, printed on the inside of the candy wrapper, was the solitary word that would do me more good than any sort of lengthy speech:
Nougatocity \nu-gat-a-si-tE\ (noun). A heightened yet fleeting state of accomplishment that makes you realize how unbelievably unmotivated you normally are.
O man. I didn't have that. I hadn't accomplished anything heightened or in a fleeting state. I was just...unbelievably unmotivated. Unmotivated for what? Life. Simple things. Cleaning my room. Pushing myself in school work. Changing my outlook. Communing with Jesus. Striving out of my comfort zone. Depressing, huh.
The Holy Spirit will go through great lengths to catch your attention...even with an empty wrapper. I didn't need to accomplish anything to help me realize what a lazy bum I was! I could skip that step thanks to a God who cares, a sister who shares, and an opened, emptied candy bar wrapper that tears. Thanks to them I can throw off this suffocating cloak of unmotivation, and start the climb to the "heightened yet fleeting state of accomplishment," where I can breathe in the sweet air of motivated nougatocity.
I hope the Snickers wrappers are complete with uneaten Snickers bars up there.
