You're Beautiful
"You're Beautiful" by James Blunt
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true,
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As I walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Flying high,And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,'Cause I'll never be with you.
Lalala lalala lalala lalala laaaaaa
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you

Living Life, The Two Extremes
A lot of us would agree with the statement "
Live life to the best of your abilities". However, there are two types of people who seem to take this quote to extreme. Some will literally go out party every weekend till they die at the ripe old age of 23. Others will live till they're 94, yet, they may regret not having done all the things they wanted to do. The problem? Maturity, too much or too little is experienced at too young an age.
In some instances, this may not be that bad a thing. To be perfectly honest, the world would benefit from a little more maturity in young people when it comes to certain situations such as drinking and driving example. For that matter, giving immature people the ability to drive at all when they can't even handle the responsibility of holding a pair safety scissors. There are enough statistics out there that will tell you that young people are involved in more alchohol related incidences and automobile crashes than any other age group. In all these instances, the practice of acting better than your age may have saved their lives and/or others.
Then you have the other side of the problem. The people who got too mature at too young an age. These people experience just as much problems as the ones mentioned earlier. While being young and mature is considered a good thing, these "men and woman" miss out on the opportunity to be able to do stupid things. To them, things such as drinking on occasion consists of maybe a cooler once in a blue moon.
These are the two extreme's of the problem. What can anyone do? Its simple:
"Have fun; Be responsible; Act your age"

Retail Woes
If you live in North America, you have probably noticed a couple of things: We drive glutonous automobiles and complain about gas prices, we have no problem starting fights that we cant finish (However thats mostly one country in paticular), and that retail stores are DYING for help.
I currently work at
Staples Business Depot. Now, I'll agree that we are VERY understaffed and such, however the problem isnt the lack of applicants, its problems with management. See, I am available for up to 40 hours a week, yet, my boss would rather give me only 20 hours or less a week, and sit around and complain about how hes understaffed.
Now, I dont know what its like to be a Staples General Manager (GM) but I dont see why people like him deserve to complain about lack of man power when you wouldn't give someone whose available to do these hours what they need. From what I can see, this situation should be win-win: I get the hours and pay that I want, and he gets someone else to work full time hours.
So whats wrong? Apparently, according to some fellow Staples employees, associates such as myself arent good as full time people. Apparently, "My Kind" are more disposable. We can apparently be terminated with minimum affect to the companies "goals".
I guess thats true. In the big picture of things, im only there for a short time periode anyway. However, people like my GM shouldnt be so surprised in the future about why all the young students out there seem to be wanting better jobs than asking people: "how can I help you with pens today?"

Undervalued Education
Many people that know me will tell you that I have a deep appreciation for Mathematics. I love working out problems with math and letting the numbers guide me to an answer that ive been searching for.
The other day, however, i was thinking: "When did I start to like math?". The answer that came to me was my old grade 9 math and science teacher: Mr. Blais. He was the one who would always tell his class that, "Though i may not look important right now, its the basis to what you will learn in high school." At the time, i thought that what he was saying was a joke.
It didnt hit me till grade 12 calculus that he was right. When I first started taking derivatives and such, I noticed the things that he had taught us about slope and linear graphs, where the basis of this abstract math we were learning. Without what he had taught us all those years ago, I would not have been able to get through calculus.
I recently went back to my Junior High School, to visit him and say thank you for all he had taught me. He told me that there were still people like me telling him that "they will never use this sort of math anywhere." I told him that in a couple of years, some of those people will be back here thanking you, and telling you: "you were right".
Cheers to Mr. Blais, and cheers to all those teachers out there who do so much for us students, and get little thanks.

What If?...
Isaac Newton once said:
"For every action, there is an equal or opposite reaction".
Now, Mr. Newton was originally talking about his second law of motion, however, it seems to be much more universal than just explaining how things work.
We all make decisions. Some good, some bad, some decisions we make without even realising it, the point is that we all have to make them. Whether its buying a chocolate bar, or buying a house, decisions are around every corner of our life.
Sometimes, however, we ask ourselves a simple question after we make up our minds: What if....? This simple question can lead you to beleive that you've made an error in your judgement and may regret it. My advice to you: dont ask yourself this question. In a lot of cases, you cant go back and change what you did. So why bother wondering what would have happend if you had done something differently?
Pertaining to Isaacs Law of Motion; your decision is the original action, and the equal or opposite reaction is your either accepting your decision, or asking "what if" afterwards.
Isaac Newton also said:
"An object in motion will stay in motion so long as no force acts on the object"
Dont let regret slow you down. Live life to the fullest, and you'll never wonder... what if?
