my magnificent monday ... and other short stories

...yesterday i watched "V for Vendetta" - it is magnificent and oh i am inspired. it touched on what is close to my heart - the concept that true freedom comes from fearlessness - and without fearlessness there is no freedom. It also showcased the helplessness and inhumanity that is created when people are too afraid of a fear-mongering government to stand up to the truth while the media is the kept mistress of the government ... much more on this later

...today it rained and i was very happy because my car needed a wash anyway

...to celebrate the fact that i am beautiful, i wore purple with matching earrings

...to celebrate my humilty i looked for the usual church message boards on the way to work - for guidance - I was met with, "egg hunt on Sunday at noon" super! i love eggs for Sunday brunch

...i received a package at the office - i did not wish to accept it - and it was only right to return to sender, but i could not be bothered to make the effort to go the post office - so i gave it away

...when i returned home, i received 2 pacakges - they reminded me of what truly matters in my life and what i love the most. they simply caused my heart to somersault and my smile to light up the night sky ... and i kid you not, thunder and lightning followed. coincidence - i think not!

... i have a conference presentation tomorrow and the dress code is red - if you remember, i never wear red on Tuesdays ... mmmh what to do? reschedule the whole conference?

... had dinner plans at a lovely latin restaurant with colleagues and friends - but had to work - on the conference presentation ... there is just nothing more to say on this sad state of affairs

... Prime Minister Tony Blair launched the Serious Organized Crime Agency, modeled on the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, to fight underworld syndicates. The Prime Minister warned major criminals: "We will make life hell for you as you have made life hell for other people. We will have the powers to come after you, to get you, to put you in jail and even after you leave jail, to make sure that you are subject to financial restrictions for a long, long time to come." well now that is in order, i can leave the handling of the underworld syndicates with the FBI and SOCA and continue to sell sea shells by the sea shore

Adios for now - back to my conference presentation ... which would ideally be entitled the "super success in selling sea shells by the sea shore" ... but alas ...
