Today's Track : Depeche Mode - Somebody

My skin is really dry in the winter time so today I borrowed lotion from the clinical manager. She's a single Japanese lady in her mid to late 30s. I guess you could call her a cougar. Anyhow, my skin is less itchy but now I smell like her. It's like sitting really close to someone who wears cologne or perfume. The smell is overwhelming and I keep looking over my shoulder expecting her to be standing right next to me. It’s a very uneasy feeling when you’re surfing for porn at work.

Zoom, zoom, zoom…not. It looks as though I’m going to try and hold off a few more months without a new car. The Chevy Lumina has been resurrected from the dead and my sister who now lives on campus at Ryerson has lent me her little civic hatchback for the time being. So I can continue laying a hurt on my obese student loan. My student loan needs to go on the Atkin’s Diet.

I am officially changing my stance on the thong. I was wrong….about the thong…all along. They aren’t uncomfortable and gross as I had initially thought. I haven’t worn a thong but women have told me that they’re not as uncomfortable as they look and I recently found myself aroused by the sight of a thong. This isn’t the first time I’ve been wrong. I recently found out that women do #2 and also pass gas from time to time. It’s been a traumatic week.

Starting next month I think I’ll start contributing to RRSP’s. I guess they’re what the US calls the 401K -- essentially an investment for your retirement. I still feel a bit young to be contributing to a retirement plan but apparently I’m starting late compared to some of my friends. I wonder if the previous generation started planning out their retirement as early as this generation. Could it be that this generation is more responsible with their money; more concerned because our pensions will be used up by the previous generation, leaving very little for our own retirement; or is it that we’re just more obsessed with money and material wealth? I think it’s safe to assume it’s a combination of the three but I’m more inclined to think it’s the latter. Which reminds me of one of the best movies of all-time – Fight Club? If you haven’t seen this movie, it’s well worth the time to rent it and watch it. A movie with a very strong anti-capitalism theme.

You are not your job.
You are not how much you have in the bank.
You are not the contents of your wallet.
You are not your fucking Khakis.
You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake.
You are the all-singing, all-dancing crap of
the world.
