So I've been at home (my first home = Oshawa) for the past four days. How much work would you guess I've gotten done? Uhh... that'd be next to none. Hey, I'm a poet and didn't even know it!
It's all good though... I've had a chance to catch up with my mom and with old friends, RELAX (so important!), sleep lots and think about life.
I went out for coffee downtown TO. today with an old friend. We danced together for a summer or two and she's a great person to be around. She's so optimistic and just seems to be loving life. I gravitate towards these kinds of people, especially when I need a boost of energy.
Some days I wish I had pursued dance as a career. Dance performance students at Ryerson have it good. My friend is a gorgeous dancer (because of her natural talent I'm sure, but the training at Ryerson is pretty stellar), and gets to produce and perform a lot of her own works on a professional stage. This is her last year, and she doesn't have any set plans for the future, but with the training that she's got, she's surely going to do something magnificent! Go Kiri Go!
I suppose there's still hope for the dancing electrical engineering student...


Anyways... something else I've been thinking about, actually, can't keep my mind off of, is this new movie "The Fountain".
I would recommend it to anyone who loves artsy, thinking movies, but also those with a concrete, structured mind like mine. I can't even really describe to you the plot (it's complicated), but it all revolves around the pursuit of immortality, and the belief that the legendary "Tree of Life" from the Bible still exists. Greed is a huge theme, and it has really made me look at my life at realize that more value needs to be put on relationships. It is an incredible movie. Go see it!
