As of this moment, I continue to find myself in limbo. While I wait for the papers to come so I can sign them and move on with my life, I look ahead to a hope-filled future. It is amazing that so much time has passed, and yet I feel like there is so much of my life ahead of me that it is hard to not be optimistic. As it is, there is little that can make life worse right now.
I think that life is much about choices and decisions. True, much of what happens to us comes about because of the choices of others, but our own choices have a huge impact as to how much lingering damage there is. 2009 is becoming an interesting year. While some dreams and hopes of mine have been shattered recently, life does go on. All I need is some closure and then the re-boot can happen.
Speaking of reboot, yes, I saw the last Star Trek movie on opening night. I just invited everyone that I thought would enjoy it, and there were 10 of there. It was a neat experience being in a lineup with people in Trek uniforms. I wore a T-shirt that had belonged to my mother and was signed by George Takei to her. This way, she could be there with me, seeing as my being a Trekkie is largely her fault. I would have to say that the movie was excellent, but there were a few things that I wish had not happened. Still, it looks as if there will be some new Trek in the future, and that is always a good thing.
So, with a rebooting theme, my Top 10 list:
Top 10 Things that Need Rebooting
10. Canadian politics. Same old same old. Blah blah blah.
9. Hockey. This is more of a "reset" than a "reboot", but I wish the playoffs didn't last until June.
8. Calgary transit. Boy, ETS sure kicks butt against this city.
7. My students. Well, some of them at least, as they are feeling the May slump right about now.
6. Muppets. Man, we need someone to go back and get the Mojo going for Kermot and Company.
5. Beauty pagents. Wow, these things just seem phonier and phonier as life goes on. Time to start looking at the whole concept of beauty, not just the "She's hot" factor.
4. Celebrity news. I don't want to know who is dating or suing (or both) who! Why are we so obsessed with these people!
3. Heroes. I was very disappointed with the last season finale. Let's get back to the basics people!
2. Doing Top 10 lists for blogs...wait a minute!
1. My love life. 'Nough said.
