  • "i'll stress my own jeans, thank you very much"

    one of my favourite pair of jeans developed a hole the last time i wore them. so i went shopping for some jeans. have you noticed that the majority of jeans are pre-stressed for style? if i want a pair of second-hand jeans i'd go to a thrift store. just give me a pair of normal jeans that i can wear on almost any occasion. amongst this frustration, i realized what a momentous occasion wearing thin my jeans to the point of a hole developing actually is. seriously, when was the last time you wore a pair of jeans to the point of it falling apart? over the age of 12 i mean. nothing really profound about this post, just an observation.

  • "modern society is based on sin"

    unfortunately, our culture (as it is) is based on the propagation of sin and vice. ever wonder why junk food companies make more money than health food companies? sex sells more than modesty? in almost all cases where there is a mirror opposite, the side that is "evil" is the side that makes more money. i have concluded that in order to make money, i can no longer work in the non profit sector. (i know that sounds obvious) in truth, i have decided to no longer coach gymnastics because of many factors, the least of which is that i cannot afford the things that i would like. still it does feel rather shallow on some level, but meh, nobody said i was made of stone. so the long and short of it is, after close to 3 years of my brother and sister tempting me, i will be finished coaching gym at the end of june and jump with eyes closed into the world of business. tripling my current salary :) not really doing anything worthwhile in society :S
