Everything happens for a reason.. my parents always say that to me. Ppl always say that to me.. but it has slowly started sinking in over the last few months... It's true.

look at my house situation first of all.. last march i and sheina one of my other housemates had teh chance to move into this amazing house on haddon street .. the house was beautiful, the ppl living in it were great, the rent was good, everythign was perfect. We really wanted it.. but didn't get it..

Now we live in this house.. it's a lot smaller, lot less swankier, but i like it. We like it. It's home. The girls who lived in theother house were prissy.. not in a bad way.. but i just could not have gotten along with them everyday of thedamn month.. neither could have sheina.. they are the kind of ppl that go out every night..i can't afford to.. etc etc.. there's nothing wrong with that mind you.. but our lifestyles would have clashed..

so we didn't get that house and got this one.. and i wouldn't change it for the world.. everything happens for a reason. Someone once told me that it is not the building or the structure of the house but the people living inside
of it, that make it a home. Truer words have never been spoken.

another proof that things happen for a reason.. I really really wanted to get into this fourth year course on the middle east this semester, i didn't get in. Instead I had to drop three other courses to pick up this one course on Latin America that was alloted to me by lottery ballots. But, if the opportunity came up today to switch into the middle east course and drop this one.. i would flatly deny it.

I have learnt so much from three sessions of this Latin American class.... My mind is racing.. I have visions of my prof teaching me.. my friends can't understand what i'm raving on about... It's amazing. I have waited 14 years for a class that would actually teach me something I didn't already know.. I am amazed.. that word .. "amazed", seems so small in this context. After class, I come home and sit and think abt what he said in class today and how it affects our world. I am left speechless. If there is another force out there that meant for me to take this class.. I thank you. Everythign happens for a reason.. I went and begged the middle east course's prof to let me in and when he denied my request, I dejectedly went to this class and now, I owuld have it no other way..

oh.. I am goign to a Leafs.. I still don't believe it.. but I am. I have had the opportunity to pay for tix abt 5 times b4 this.. but have never had the money.. many ppl have tried to get me tix but all have failed .. and now here I am, going to the New Jersey game @ the ACC on Jan 10th (107 days away) .. for FREE.. and I could not be more excited.. I have waited seven years to walk through that threshold and have the Leafs starting lineup announced to me.. I know my reactions sound exaggerated to some.. but you have to understand that I am a Leafs fan... I live and beathe blue and white.. everyone else says they do.. I actually do it. I have waited seven years.. opportnities have gone.. but everything happens for a reason.. fate.

Fate.... it's a powerful force. another powerful force is in my stomach grumbling.. clamouring for breakfast.. time to go eat.. peace..

oh btw.. i reckon it's abt time we started with the customary goodbye that always come around during hockey season.. everyone at the same time now................... GO LEAFS GO!!!
