in my dream last night, jack layton was cutting people's hair on the street for some kind of ndp promotional thing, and i made a funny joke: "hey jack, make sure everyone's parts are a little to the left!" he thought it was hilarious, and so did the reporters on the scene.

too bad i'm not so smooth in real life.

LYRICS TO KEEP YOUR DAY GOING

"i believe in the taste of wine as i do not step on a landmine"

- the hidden cameras, "i believe in the good life"

i've thought about this phrase a lot. the meaning is as clear as day from the get go, but i keep coming back to it.

in this world, in which we live an affluent life, we don't feel the need to kiss the ground everyday, and if all we did was bless our good fortunes all the time, we'd get nothing done. but every once in a while, we have to express joy at the fact that we're not in fear of being blown up everywhere we step.

so my next sip of wine will celebrate that fact.
