over a recent patio bevy with a close femme, talking politics of course- I have come to a three category system for relationships at this point in my life. there is the game, screwing, and love. the game entails one party playing 'the game' and the other getting played. usually one remains the game player and the one getting played doesn't realize until they find them selves falling in love - at which point the game ends and game player finds a new toy. screwing is a recipe for disaster but can also turn into love- at which point the screwing stops. get your mind out of the gutter - I am referring to screwing with one's mind. in this category- there is a lot of passion but there are also lots of mind games- calculations, a constant shift in power. love means texting five times in a row because you are not worried about what the other thinks- and neither do they, love works as long as it's both ways. find someone that always makes things better- the second someone adds stress or anything negative to your life they are not meant to compliment you, and that is everything a relationship should do.
living in downtown toronto - I had the insane experience of witnessing the g20 nightmare that took over the city this weekend. a group of radicals- not to be confused with protestors (which are encouraged and supported in our democratic society) became very violent and raised complete anarchy on the streets of down town toronto. maybe a skype conference should be suggested for the next summit?

just when you think you've lost all faith in humanity and the money grabbing suits up top. they pull out something like this: a billion dollar idea. bill and melinda gates along with warren buffet have agreed to donate half of their net worth to charity- during their life time or after they die. they are starting this campaign and hoping to get other billionaires on board. if the campaign succeeds it will change the face of philanthropy. source: fortune magazine
lessons in life courtesy of swingers Mike: Okay, so what if I don't want to give up on her? Rob: You don't call. Mike: But you said I don't call if I wanted to give up on her. Rob: Right. Mike: So I don't call either way? Rob: Right. Mike: So what's the difference? Rob: There is no difference right now. See, Mike, the only difference between giving up and not giving up is if you take her back when she wants to come back. But you can't do anything to make her want to come back. In fact, you can only do stuff to make her not want to come back. Mike: So the only difference is if I forget about her or just pretend to forget about her? Rob: Right. Mike: Well that sucks. Rob: Yeah, it sucks. Mike: So it's just like a retroactive decision, then? I mean I could, like, forget about her and then when she comes back make like I just pretended to forget about her? Rob: Right. Although probably more likely the opposite. Mike: What do you mean? Rob: I mean at first you're going to pretend to forget about her, you'll not call her, I don't know, whatever... but then eventually, you really will forget about her. Mike: Well what if she comes back first? Rob: Mmmm... see, that's the thing, is somehow they know not to come back until you really forget. Mike: There's the rub. Rob: There's the rub.

Cause we'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home
And we would laugh
Laugh till we cry
Making a song
Making me lie
