Little Revelations

Today I decided to try to take things slowly and open my mind to appreciate and/or notice some little things that I might not have truly appreciated or noticed in the past.

Bonus points for things that have been staring me in the face for a sufficiently long period of time that I really should have noticed and/or appreciated them.

Stuff I learned to appreciate!
  • Fleece-lined jeans. These are dandy for field work, even if they aren't the most stylish in denim leg-coverings.
  • Edmonton as a concert-going city. Apparently, even up against super-venues in much-more-massive cities, Rexall Place still cracks the top 15 for concert attendance.
Stuff I noticed!
  • On my route home from work I discovered that there is a strip club only a couple blocks from the office. No, I don't think that the club just recently opened.
  • If you drive a full-size van (an Econoline, for example) and you insist on driving after dark without your headlights on, you immediately become suspected of being involved in some sort of shady pastime*. No, I was not the driver of said van. Nor was that van on its way to the aforementioned strip club.

*pedophilia, drug dealing, stalking... etc.

my suggesttion, wear the fleece lined jeans TO the strip club and see how they rate them then drive home with those guys in the van.

i'm sure it would make for a very interesting post ;P
