Cathing Up with Ballerina's

As I was waiting for my Downtown bus today, I see one of the homeless guys I met earlier this month walking down the street.

I catch my bus on 1st street right across from the C-Train track, and you get a lot of the homeless guys always walking by my bus stop.

I wasn't sure if he would remember me, but I sure remembered him. He talked to me several times over the 2 days I was at the shelter.

What sticks out in my mind was that he didn't have much warm clothing on and he even wore a garbage bag over his clothing and then a thin coat. The garbage bag went up to his knees, his coat only up to his waist. It looked like he was wearing a dress over his pants.

I made him take a new sweater and some socks to help keep him a bit warmer. He didn't ask for anything and he really didn't want to take them. I kind of forced him to take them and I made him put the new sweater on over his garbage bag. He even spun around for me and asked me how he looked. I told him he looked like a ballerina with that garbage bag on. We laughed.

Today this same ballerina stopped to talk to me! I asked him how he was doing. He told me he was fine, and that he was staying at the Dream Centre. I told him to look after himself.

He had no garbage bag on.

Looked just like you and me.

Lookalikes

Has onyone ever wondered why a CD and DVD look exactly alike?

How can you not confuse one with the other at some point in your life?

This lesson was taught to me just today when I was returning my latest BECK music CD that has 2 discs in it. I purchased this CD early December and remember quickly tearing off the packaging as I was very excited to hear his latest music.

I'm presently listening to my music on a very cheap $35.00 portable CD Stereo radio casette recorder that I purchased at Walmart several months ago when my stand alone stereo system starting going out on me.

Yes, I have stooped this low, and as embarassing as it is to play music on such a cheap system, I have at this time, chosen to blow my money on travelling and not on the big decision of buying a new stereo system or upgrading to the "home" stereo system everyone else seems to have in their homes these days.

Now........back to the Beck music CD purchase. Great music, but I notice the second CD does not work. Uggh.........I try all my other CD's and no problemo. Just this one Beck CD does not work.

This afternoon while I was going to the Globe for another one of my foreign film fixes, I stop at HMV to exchange the CD for another one.

I bring both CD's in the case, with the receipt, and let the cashier know that one of the CD's just doesn't play. I also let her know that she can test it out if she wants to.

She doesn't, and quickly replaces my Beck with a new Beck. Easy.

Once I get home and before I rip off the packaging, I read the little sticker on the left hand corner:

New Album/The Information
15 songs & VIDEOS on CD & DVD Package
Sticker booklet inside to create your own cover

Crap! Why do these things happen to me!

Good thing I didn't have to fill out a return form with the CD I brought back..........I'm sure they would be laughing at how STUPID I am.

I'm still laughing. I think it's funny.

My Zodiac Forecast

An astrological forecast, as of a person's future, based on a diagram of the aspect of the planets and stars at a given moment.

Not sure if I believe this stuff...........but I do kind of fit a Sagittarian profile....

• Has a lot of nervious energy and are very optimistic
• Will overlook details so that the overall picture can be considered
• Warm and friendly
• Likes to talk a great deal making it difficult for others to get a work in edgewise
• Loves to travel
• Adaptable, tolerant, philosophical, knowledgeable, honest and outspoken
• Constructive, clear-sighted, generous, cheerful, loyal and independent

Possible negative aspects...........

• Rebellious, hasty, hypocritical, too outspoken, intolerant
• Lack of concentration

Oh boy............... I guess it's true!

I see absolutely no issues with me being a Sagittarian.

Candles and Colors

I'm just catching up on some of the notes I took on my recent travels, and found one that I wrote while I visited an old Monastery in Antigua.

This was after visiting the candle making shop on site (this place uses tons and tons of candles to light up the place...27,000 a month!).

Color of your unscented candle and what it means:

• RED. Love, Faith & Will
• GREEN. Business & Prosper
• BLUE. Work & Luck
• PINK. Health & Hope
• PURPLE. Against bad habits & evil thoughts
• BABY BLUE. Money, Happiness & Trips
• YELLOW. Protection for adults
• WHITE. Protection for children

And from the internet I see that...........

Birthday Candles Symbolize New Beginnings & Entertainment

Wedding Candles Symbolize Unity

Candles are used to HEAL

Candle Vigils Symbolize Unity, Hope & Remembrance

Candles are used to symbolize ROMANCE

Candles add such a beautiful, peaceful glow to our world, so keep them burning!
