I’m writing you this because I think our relationship has run its course. I also really need more space, I don’t like feeling like an elephant in a telephone booth. I hope you understand. I don’t know how to break it to you, but I had to find something else. You know what they say: out with the old, in with the new! The wise Righteous Brothers wrote a song called “You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling.” You might want to listen to it a few times, because I’ve lost that loving feeling.
Sometimes you need to take things a bit slower, and just have fun. Unfortunately, this relationship is becoming too serious for my tastes. It’s not you, it’s me (and the recession ending). Really. It may be a typical line, but it’s true: we just aren’t meant for each other. I may love you, but I’m definitely not in love with you. You’re gonna have to learn to accept that. I’m not sure whether we can see each other again, or if I will blog in the future but, for now at least, I definitely need my own space. I think you get the idea: this relationship is over.
Wish it could have worked out, but please leave me one last comment below to remember you by. The people here who wrote this for me really captured what I was feeling. I mean every word.
Sadly, all good things must come to an end and your favourite writer is logging in his last post. Romi is putting together a best of SYR for tomorrow, so today I’m gonna give you my best lessons from my (our) favourite posts and projects as you guys start getting through September. (more…)
The age-old trick of crossing your arms to emphasize the biceps.
I just moved to Toronto two weeks ago, and with this change in scenery, I also set new goals and aspirations for myself. My first goal is to not get hit by a streetcar (I know this sounds like a joke, but you cannot even fathom how absent-minded I can be) and my second goal is becoming a healthier person.
I am currently reading a book called ‘Thrive Fitness’ by Brendan Brazier. This book is one of the most inspiring and easy-to-digest books I’ve ever read pertaining to health and wellness. It is not gimmicky; it presents no crash diets or bogus exercise routines. The premise of the book is that what we eat and how we exercise our body translates into better physical and mental health. (more…)
It’s already the second week of September. Can you believe it? Here I am wearing my parka and UGG boots thinking a brisk fall breeze will knock me off my feet when another heat wave plagues Toronto. As you may have guessed, I’m sweating like a fat kid in a candy store. Perhaps I should shower. Nah, too lazy. Anyways, Diary, I figured I’d take advantage of this nice weather find some stuff to do outside.
This is what I have in mind:
Art Walk: The ROM hosts free themed walking tours of Toronto areas. This week, you can check out Yorkville and the Annex. I think this is fabulous. (more…)
Millions of people work ungodly hours to earn less than a dollar a day. This small salary must feed not just the worker but also their family. Fighting starvation and disease, these families manage to live on and continue working in dangerous conditions. This of course is not by choice.
In North America, there are labour laws protecting us from unethical work environments and low incomes so it’s hard to empathize with labourers in 3rd world countries based on our own personal experience.
Well, enough of the chit chat, I know everyone from Ontario and further East is dying to know some cool stuff to do this summer. If you didn’t know, because for some silly reason you didn’t read my post yesterday, I gave you some things to do before summer is out. Because there are so many, I did from BC to Manitoba yesterday, and am doing the rest today. The view from Panorama (pictured above) is just one of the great attractions in the rest of Canada.
Okay, not happy at all. At least summer is only officially over in a couple weeks but when September rolls around, it always feels like the season has come to an end. There’s no use in being a sad panda though, there’s tons to look forward to in the upcoming months; heck, there’s a lot to look forward to this week!
Fresh Wednesdays—Local produce and live music! Check out the farmers’ market at Nathan Phillips Square and stick around for a performance by Dirty Dishes. (more…)
Today, I turn 19 for the 4th time. I have to say, it was exciting the first couple times but it’s getting a bit redundant. Better than turning 22 though.
Last week, Andrea reminded me that you can get a slew of free things on your birthday. If I wanted to, I could get every single meal plus dessert paid for, a day/night of entertainment, AND some free products.
For those of you who have birthdays coming up, take note, and if you don’t, save this list! Get a free meal and let your friends buy you drinks instead.
After doing some digging, I have come up with My Top Ten Free Things You Can Get On Your Birthday: (more…)
After a week in NYC, I went to check my Visa bill online and realized that I didn’t spend as much money as I thought I would. That’s right, I defeated the capitalist capital of the universe!!! Times Square aint got nothing on me.
Hey guys, so today I thought I would give you some tips on things that I do around the house to either be lazy or to be to cheap.I don’t know about you guys, but I love being lazy and I love being cheap (hopefully no potential girlfriends or bosses read this post) and I thought I would share some of my ingenious activities with you. So take the couple minutes to read this article because it will save you even more money and time then you ever thought of….. or at least some.
When it comes to eating or making pasta I always eat right out of the cooking pot instead of putting it on or plate or in a bowl.I mean I have no one to impress and it definitely saves me on the dishes.A friend of mine likes to take his shirt off while eating because he always seems to get that little stain on his white shirt, which means new shirts or more laundry. Eeek. I do suggest however that you bring a shirt if you go to a buffet, along with a container (which I advise to be an old margarine or butter container). I know you’ve heard it all before but try to sneak some calamari home for tomorrow’s lunch.
rachel plan weekly meals and buy whatever you can in bulk,hands wash your clothes when ever you can and grow a garden or if you have a family member that has a garden ask if you can get some fresh veggies when there ready to come out
Derekp I think i’ve seen this somewhere before…but it’s not bad at all
Rath You have a decent blog here. I would encourage you to keep writing and posting as often as you are inspired to do so. In the long run, it will really pay off as more and more people will begin to visit, read and refer others. ProExtender
dawn Now that we have some nice hot weather…save using your dryer and hang your clothes out to dry..Get a clothesline and pins from the dollar store…watch out for the pigeons though….
lasierra great blog! I’m glad I finally found a decent blog that I liked. Just subscribed to the feed and looking forward to future updates.
Theresa Waste less food by taking more trips to the grocery store, but buy less. Plan fresh meals ahead, buy what you need when you need it. Also, frequent local markets for great deals!
