Healing
At the risk of being morbid, I was going to write something about my friend Angela Tong today, but after a full day (and then some) at work, I'm not sure that I have much to say that wasn't better said last year.
A year has passed and a lot has happened. My life certainly doesn't look the same that it did a year ago and the things I used to put up with no longer seem bearable. All that lacks is action, and perhaps that is where I find my lesson this year.
There's been enough thinking; it's time to go do something.
March isn't a great time of year, with Angela's death and Grandfather's death all happening within two weeks of each other (albeit two years apart). This year, it seems to have gone by in a blur. Am I over it? Maybe, but I have to move on. It serves no one, least of all the deceased, for me to suffer over their passing.
I love you, Angela. I love you, Granddad. I miss you both dearly and the best way for me to honour you is to live fantastically. So, I will shed a tear and raise a glass and, once again, invite you to come with me for the ride.
Maybe this year I'll get a girlfriend... without going to Hong Kong, Granddad.

Why you think the Net was born? Porn! Porn! Porn! This is what you get when you mix Avenue Q with World of Warcraft.
Wacky new German fragrance based on bodily fluids. This isn't work-safe. It's not even home-safe. It's just not safe for anyone, anywhere, anytime. You were warned.
Now that you've been scarred, or wisely chose to bypass the last link, here's something to set your day aright: it's the inspirational story of an autistic kid who'd been managing his high school's basketball team for years. In the final game of the season, his coach let him suit up so that he could feel like he was part of the team. In the final four minutes of the game, the coach let the boy play (download) and it gets better from there.
