So here we are, back again huh? I have to admit; I'm finding it
rather hard to get back in the groove. I spent the holiday season
occupied with travel to Mexico followed by some serious powder
hunting at Big White. As a result of this constant leisure, I'm not
particularly motivated to get back into my typically long work and
study hours. But the by-product of the previously mentioned vaca-
tions is a happy and relaxed state that has yet to dissipate. As such,
I'm finding myself particularly sensitive to the stress of those around
me. My commute on the SkyTrain each morning in recent days has
become a study of the tragic state of the common man. I've been
noticing the abysmal way that commuters treat each other. The vio-
lations are many. Not waiting for people to exit the train before
‘storming in the doors, pushing, shoving and refusing to give up seats
to the elderly and-or bowlegged. In short, a disgusting display of
self-centered ballyhoo that's in no way fitting of the post-holiday
kindness people should be displaying. I'm not aiming to buy the
world a Coke here or anything, but I'm more than willing to offer up
some base-courtesy when it's required. So to all you disgruntled folk
out there, I say simply: Come on people now, smile on your brother,
everybody get together try to love one another right now.
Hmm...Maybe that's just the tequila talking.
