Maritime madness

This week I am working in Moncton, Halifax, Cape Breton and tons of other little great places.

Firstly, the scenery is great - our country is just breathtaking at times. The people are great too - the most friendly people in Canada live in the Maritimes.

The only thing that sucks is that I actually have to work, and I am by myself for all the evenings here which means that...I work some more!

Also - I miss PP when I come on these trips. Mostly because I am away from everything familiar and get a little scared at night to sleep. The goobie monsters do sometimes still freak me out when I am staying in a new place! Also - the closet monsters and under-the-bed monsters take turns to torment me at night.

Entitlement

These past few weeks, I can honestly say that I am surprised at the amount of haters there are out there. Grown-ups cheering at the news that Paris had to go back to jail when there is zero reaction to the likes of Robert Picton (serial murderer's trail).

Why is the public so hateful towards her? I guess the only answer is that Paris Hilton is the poster-girl for entitlement. This makes the average person MAD. I guess the thought process is "I work hard, i have to deal with the daily grind - and here is this rich brat shoving her wealth and entitlement in my face!" something like that...

Of course, I do not condone to her behaviour and especially abhor the fact that she drove while intoxicated. But I do not share the mass public's reaction of total enjoyment that she is in jail.

I think that if we turned the tables inwards, each one of us could find something about ourselves, our lifestyle, or the words that escape our mouths - to be intolerable by someone less fortunate than ourselves.

And while we are not on television and on every smutty magazine - someone out there does resent the fact that you and I have a better life than they do. Cause let's face it - life is good.

I think what I am trying to say here is that after weeks of obsessing and focusing on the fact that I have not found my perfect house yet...I am letting it go to focus and be grateful on the things that I do currently have.
