Observation 1- Hard Day.

I was on the bus yesterday, and I saw a lady who was sitting in front of me. She looked like she was in her later thirties early forties, who looked stressed out. She looks like a Sonja, so let’s call her Sonja. Anyways she was sitting on her seat looking down at her watch, it seemed like she was worried about something. It seemed like she was in a rush to get somewhere because, her clothes seemed like they were thrown on her. Her eyes were big and brown, however baggy. As I was standing there, her phone rang and she was quickly to respond. When she answered she seemed worried because of her tone. It seemed like she was talking to a young boy, maybe her son. She was telling him that she was coming home soon to make dinner, she reminded him not to worry. It reminded me of my mom and how I always call her to make sure that she is alright. I felt sad for her in a way because, it seemed like she was a single parent playing both roles of both daddy and mommy.
She was heading home, because of the phone call and the bags of groceries. As the bus was about to stop, she grabbed all her belongings, however it seemed like she was having a hard time holding the bus. As she thanked the bus driver she got off and headed towards the sidewalk. It seemed like she was happy to go to a place where she could relax and be with people that she loved.

Observation #2
I think her name is Tiffany, because her friend beside her has been calling her Tiff for short. Tiffany has short brown hair, soft and straight. And I'm pretty sure she does to a Catholic school, from the uniform and religious books in her arms. A simple blue ribon in her hair, with a bow on the top, keeps her hair back from being in her face, and allows her bangs to stand out more, and not just blend in with the rest of her hair. Knee high socks, a white shirt and a blue tie, she looks like the kind of girl that follows all the rules in school and at home. Her friend is sort of the same type of person as her, but a bit rebelious, which makes me wonder, if her friends are more on the rebelious side because she wishes she could also rebell from the normal ways of things, and rules her parents and teachers give her. Being carful with her words, keeps her in the middle lane in life, not breaking any rules or being too risky, and not too sharp that life seems a great bore.

They get off the subway, and start to walk down to the next set of escalators. They start walking up, and then Tiffany realizes an old lady wants to get on the escalador, but too many people are shoving her out of the way, so Tiffany moves aside, and lets the old lady get on infront of her, and with a thank you, Tiffany smiles as if she just made the world a much better place, and she is one step closer to world peace.

Tiffany looks like a happy girl, but has the same worries and problems like any other girl.She seems worried because Tiffany is always looking at the clock on the subway television screen. She also seems like a hard working student because of her school bag looking heavy and all the text books that she is holding.

As their next subway comes, they get up fast and stand near the door so they can get a good seat on the subway. Walking away, Tiff looks happy knowing she is just that much closer to being on time for school.

Observation #3-A Person who is Ruining his lungs.
Walking out of my building, I noticed a young man, in his late 20's, sitting on the curb smoking weed. And it just pops in my head, that I have seen this man before, always there, sitting, smoking, so relaxed, enjoying life by the moment, not worrying about anything. So I slowly start to walk away, as he suddenly says hi to me. I say hi back and smile awkwardly, because the look he gives me seems a bit wrong, but maybe because he may be high. His hair is dark and messy, with plain clothes on. His face is pale looking and tired. I know he lives around my area because of the fact that he is always here smoking, for some peace and quiet, to get away from it all. We don't say much to each other, but I can tell he is the kind of person that takes life by each moment, not too many worries. But at the same time, he seems nice, like he has potential to be a nice genuine guy.

I walk back home from Tim's, and as soon as I get back to my building he is still there, sitting, but just about finished his smoke. I get a big wif of weed, and scrunch up my face, turning my head so he wont see the reaction on my face. But he saw my face, and he looked at me for a second and kind of smiled, then says nicely, "Oh sorry, I can tell the smoke is bothering you, here i'm done, i'm leavin now, you don't have to worry." And then I tell him it's okay and that i'll be going in now, and I smile and walk inside.

Diary

February17 2009

Dear Diary,

With every step you take of me, I feel like you are making my soul die. Don't you get it I'm not the only thing you can wear, you have so many shoes to wear, and why do you pick me? Today was the worst out of any other day, you wore me in the mud and I was getting dirty. And when we got home did you wash me? NO. You threw me like I was garbage; well I think I’m worth more than garbage. Yeah you bought me like two years ago however I’m still as good as I was when you bought me. I don’t think we belong together because, if shoes are not important to you and you can’t take care of me, I think you should give me up instead of throwing me around like I am nothing.

Dear Diary,

Today was a horrible day for me. It was snowing outside and instead of my owner wearing her boots; she chose to wear me in the snow. Now look at me, I’m all wet and smelly not like I was ever clean. Why don’t you take care of me, I always look at my friends and wonder why I can’t be with them, instead I’m with you. You are a person who does not care about how I feel, however I care about you. I am the person who is keeping your feet warm and dry, whereas in return you treat me like I am nobody when I am someone. I do not understand why you treat me like this and not you’re other shoes. Are they better looking than I am, or do they give you more comfort then I do? I am wondering why every day, why the Shoe God sent me to you, is there a purpose that I am with you? I think it is to show you that you cannot always think about yourself, and that you have to start thinking about others.

My footwear friends do not know how I feel, because their master’s know how to treat them well. Therefore, whenever I want to talk to them about my problems, they block me and I am tuned out. Now I feel like tearing myself apart so that my governor can throw me out. That would make me very happy because, then I can meet my parents in Shoe Heaven. I just hope that is what she does. I cannot take this bruising anymore.

Tamils are Not Tigers

There was a group of multicultural adults walking in front of me. They were talking about the war that was happening in Sri Lanka. One of the adults was saying how all the protests around Canada are act of terrorism. When that man said that I was getting very enraged because what he was saying was totally wrong. At that point a women was saying how protesters are not terrorists they are just expressing how they feel about the war in their home land. Then that man began to say how every Tamil person belong to Tamil Tigers whom are terrorist group.
This conversation that the group was having about war made me think about what each person was saying because, I did not realize that most people have different opinions about Tamil people and how we are terrorists when we are not. However mant people have different point of views about terrorist.

Doing Laundry at Tim Horton's???

As I was with my mom at Tim Horton's drinking our French Vanilla, I was eavesdropping on a mother daughter conversation they were talking about who would do the laundry when they got home. My mom and I stated to laugh at that discussion in the view of the fact that they were so serious and extremely engaged to who would be doing laundry on Thursday night.
Many mother and daughters come to coffee shops together to talk about how their day went, and this mother and daughter couple came into Tim Horton's to talk about doing the laundry. Well at least they were not talking about marriage and trying to get the daughter married to person that she(daughter) did not know about. So I guess people come to Tim Horton's to talk about anything like laundry.

Small Boobs or Big Boobs

Today as I was in the bus minding my business, I over heard a group of grade 10 student girls talking about their breast size. "Guys what do you think about my breast size because I'm planning on getting implants."
When I heard that I was shocked. Why would a fifteen year old be worrying about how big their breast's are. They should be worrying about their education and their family. The answer to that question was "Well...umm... your breasts are a bit to small. They should be a size C and not a B" That answer was very ungenerous because, that friend that answered the question had very large mammary glans and she was very "proud" of them.
Many peoples chest grow at different rates and that girl had no right to tell her that she needs breast implants because her breast might grow larger as she grows older, and the breast implants may cause her difficulties in the future. - February.10.2009

Walking Home From School

As I was walking home from school enjoying the wonderful weather, there was a couple of high school students. What they were talking was making me think that save sex is on every ones minds. One of the girl was telling her friends that her mom gave her the "talk" and that her moms advice was really useful. I was really happy that high school students are getting save sex advice from their parents. --Monday.February.9.2009
