Me: "How can I get backstage?"
Some guy that I don't know: "I'll slip you my pass under the gate, but you have to get it back to me when you get in"
Me: "For sure, thanks a lot"
(He kicks it ever so sneakily under the fence... Now I've got the nice shiny laminated pass around my neck and I head over to the security guard)
Security guard: "Friend or family?"
Me: "Friend" ha ha
Security guard: "Come back in fifteen minutes"
Me: "Ok"
Fifteen minutes later I'm back at the gate and in...I wander to the back area where the band is playing darts with a knife?
Me: "Excuse me may I borrow your marker?
Some girl that I believe is another security guard: "Here you go"
Now I stumble over to the band...
Me: "Can you guys sign my cd?"
One of the guys in the Lowest of the Low: "Sure"
Me: "Can you also take off the wrapper, I can't do it" (Because I've had a number of tasty beverages by this point)
Same band guy: "yeah, it should have one of those tab things on it"
He opens the wrapper, signs it and starts rounding up the other guys in the band (How nice!)
Next band guy: "What would you like me to write?"
Me: "I love you Robin and..."
He writes exactly that and passes it on to the next band member
Me: "Who writes the songs?"
Dylan Parker (the one I talked to the longest): "Barry Manilow writes the songs"
Lots more chatting about how they are my favourite Canadian band, that they like Sloan, that I snuck in, and why they are playing darts with a knife (I can't remember why they said they were though!)
Me: "I'm going to see you play again on Thursday in Toronto, can I get a backstage pass?"
Dylan Parker: "I don't think the security is going to be too tight you can just come and say hi" (Good answer!)
Me: "Okay well thanks so much I've gotta go my friends are waiting for me"
Them: "Nice to meet you" SUCH NICE GUYS (Including the friendly stranger who let me use his pass)!!!! The End...

Pesticides
Please do all you can to avoid using, breathing in or consuming pesticides. They have been linked to a myriad of health problems. Who cares if our lawns look good, and our apples don't have worm holes if we are affecting not only our health and our children's health but the health of future generations? Vote to ban residential use of pesticides in your regional election. Support organic farming. Thank-you!

My First Comment!
I recieved my first comment on my new blog today...thanks Mark! He said that he thought this blogging could be therapeutic for me, and I think he's right. I'm starting to realize that I am a little (maybe a lot) sensitive to sounds and people around me which can cause me to be a little on edge at times. Now the question is how to deal with it! I guess I'll keep blogging and see where I get...
Have a nice day :)
Have a nice day :)

Do you have E.S.P.?
I bet you do. I believe that we all have the ability to communicate telepathically (at least I know I do!) This does not mean that I would be able to sit down with a stranger, hold a piece of their jewelry and tell them how many kids they are going to have or what letter their future husband's first name starts with, but I do get feelings and thoughts that I know are coming from a higher consciousness...one that we haven't been able to quantify yet...but one that many of us have experienced.
Sorry
You know, life is so strange sometimes because this morning I passed by an older man who said good morning to me...and he said it in such a nice, sincere way that I realized that I don't hate hearing good morning and that not everybody is an idiot :) Maybe I'll get over the jingling change thing soon too...probably not. Another one I'm not sure if I like or not...Bless you after a sneeze...ta ta

Please Change
To all the men out there this is a plea from me...take the change out of your pockets. It is soooooooooooo annoying to listen to you jingle down the halls of an office. Get a wallet with a change pocket or keep a bowl on your desk. Anything. Please. Thank-you.
Good Morning
I just have to say...unless you wake up in the same room (house) with someone then DO NOT say "good morning" to them. In my opinion there is not much more annoying then having to say good morning back to every person I see for the first three hours of my day. It's so phony.
