Here I Am
(The Cure - Halo)

I never felt like this with anyone before.
You only have to smile and I'm dizzy.

I went to Sonia’s coworker’s wedding on the weekend and the couple’s first dance song was my song of the day above. A great song and a pleasant surprise from the usual contemporary slow song. I actually wanted to grab Sonia by the hand and dance to it but under the circumstances, it would’ve been highly inappropriate.

It was the first interracial wedding I’ve attended and it was fantastic to see two very different cultures share in the common happiness of seeing their son/daughter/cousin/etc get married. If you’ve ever been to an east Indian wedding, they have a lot of dancing performances. The best performance of the night came when the bride and a few of the girls (including Sonia) did a little surprise Bollywood dance for the groom. I thought it was a wonderful sentiment for the bride to embrace the groom’s culture like that.

It was a very beautiful wedding.

You know what I miss about university? On afternoons where you are feeling completely ineffective and completely inefficient because the week has been long and has taken its toll on you, you could just skip your afternoon classes and go slack off for the day. Being a young professional has its benefits though, I actually get paid for going to “class”. I don’t think I’ve missed too many days as a result.

The two things I’m horrible at, when it comes to the dating: a) getting a phone number and b) breaking up. I’ve never been particularly good at getting the ball rolling. However, once it’s rolling, I can keep it going for a long time. I also have issues stopping the ball. There’s just too much momentum by that point. I usually don’t have the heart. As a contrast, my friend Spooner, has always been able to pick up girls at clubs and has always been able to break-up with girls with relative ease. I sometimes imagine that if we could somehow combine our powers, we could be some sort of super dating machine...but we aren’t. I’m sure the ladies of the world all just breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Has anyone seen the new chat feature inside gmail? You can actually use gtalk, which is an IM, while checking your gmail. It’s embedded right into the webpage. It’s an ingenious idea but I find it a bit intrusive. It’s almost like having someone looking over your shoulder while you’re emailing. Whenever I see, someone appear online who usually does not use gtalk as their primary IM, I message them with, "You’re checking your email again, aren’t you?" I think it creeps them out.

Earlier this winter I decided to buy snow tires because my all-season tires weren’t cutting it. Immediately after I bought the most expensive snow tires I could find (because I convinced myself that you couldn’t cheap out on safety), the weather got amazingly warm and dry for a winter in Canada. As of today, I’ve counted a total of 3 days this winter where we’ve actually had enough snow on the ground to enjoy my snow tires. Murphy’s Law fuckin sucks. I’m planning on putting back my all-season tires next week. Watch it snow right after I do it. My car is also in need of a wash as well but I’m going to avoid doing both at the same time because it will result in some really odd weather conditions.
