sweet.

























"Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world." -Ada Louise Huxtable.

worth.

These past few days watching the riots and protesters in Toronto during the G20 summit has had me just baffled. I'm still trying to fully contemplate what has happened - why the police were provoked to act so violently, the store windows broken up and down Yonge Street, the damage steps away from my apartment and how so many of my friends are doing that are still there. I believe in the police, I can't even imagine having to face a bunch of guys dressed in black jumping and setting my car on my fire. That's scary.

What I will say to those destroying such a beautiful city and making life generally miserable for everyone - why don't you go on a plane to Afghanistan and spend some time in the harshest conditions and support those are physically protecting an aspect of your life and so many others instead of creating damage and hurting innocent people. By innocent, that means even provoking those peaceful protesters to them get caught up with the violent.

Thinking good thoughts for Toronto.

"There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down" - Buffalo Springfield, For What It's Worth.

Hamlet: What have you, my good friends, deserv'd at the hands of
Fortune, that she sends you to prison hither?

Guildenstern:Prison, my lord?

Hamlet: Denmark's a prison.

Rosencrantz:Then is the world one.

Hamlet :A goodly one, in which there are many confines, wards, and
dungeons, Denmark being one o' th' worst.

Rosencrantz: We think not so, my lord.

Hamlet: Why then 'tis none to you; for there is nothing either good or
bad, but thinking makes it so. To me it is a prison.

- William Shakespeare, Hamlet Act II, sc. ii, 239–251.
