Ghandi Said...

There was a poster sale in cornwall house the whole of yesterday. Under usual circumstances, I would all but walk pass without paying much attention to whatever was available. This time I got enticed by a poster of Kelly Hazel being scantily clad, but I eventually ended up looking through rather decent posters of various kinds. Then I stumbled upon a series of motivational posters, one of which had ghandi's reflective(yes, like a mirror) head with him donning a beaming smile. And so it read, 'Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever'. I got inspired after I read the first sentence, but as I went on finish the second sentence, I felt triumphant that this quote of his -as meaningful as it may seem- was moot. If I were to learn as if I were to live forever, I would seriously take my time, since I would have all the time in the world to learn. Tongue in cheek, I would announce to my parents that ghandi actually encouraged people to learn at their desired pace. Since that was the case, everything would take priority over learning. Ha!

Just came back from dance practice not too long ago...and now I actually smell like my partner- which isn't a bad thing. Today's dance practice was a little dissimilar to other practices- I was genuinely ecstatic and satisfied. Vic and I managed to fine-tune up our chacha and jive routine to the brink of perfection(from our point of view)with the help of the ever-altruistic jackie tibbetts. Of all the motivations behind my learning of these dances, she has been the most inspirational. If Vic and I manage to get anything from the competition that looms, it will be because of Jackie. Despite stealing the show for all competitions this year, she is far from what I would consider complacent. Above all, she is and will always be the reason behind why I have improved faster than some of the other beginner dancers. I really should find a way to thank her for her guidance and encouragement. Jackie has been instrumental in the performance of our society and will always be seen as one of the greats that make her own path in this university. Instincts tell me she will not be staying for her masters degree next year, which is really a shame, given how much she has to offer to both the university and the dancesport society. It is indeed rare that a person can be so beautiful on the surface and at heart at the same time. If more girls were like her, life would be so much more enjoyable. Unfortunately, it remains a utopian fantasy. Regardless, she will always be remembered as my dancing inspiration. ^^

Out of the blues

Justice was not served today. Period.

The victor didn't deserve to win. Being aware of what a bad loser I make...things become ever so frustrating.

The battle is lost, but not the war(well at least not yet). Move your bum, Justin. Move it.
