Round 2: So long old friend

Hey Mom!

We are now in the final stage of the Mackenzie T. Judd relocation program.

Stage 1: Denial
    
     No I am not really going to lose my blog, it'll all be ok.

Stage 2: Self-preservation
    The hour I spent copy and pasting over 50 thousand words from         my blog to a word document.  I have now accepted my blog is going, going, gone.

Stage 3: Relocation
  
    Careful selection of a site, based on price ($0), quality (the first one that came up on google) and user friendliness (the one that required the least amount of reading to sign up for). 

Stage 4: Rehabilitation

     Learning how to love again... shawwebspace said it would never leave me!  I trusted you shaw! What kind of people are you powered by?1?

The only thing I am sort of stuck on is, to repost or not? Right now I think I will try to repost my top ten lists and perhaps the incredibly funny posts (so all of them).

For those of you who are new to my blog allow me to explain the title.  Remember when you were a little kid and you'd find a rock or pick the "prettiest" dandelion in the whole backyard and you'd go running into the house "Hey Mom!  Look at this bug!"  and she would act interested and enthused even though she had a vase of 20 dead dandelions on the window sill and four rocks exactly like the one you were holding.... I know my Mom is going to read every one of these and so this is for her!

That is all.

Richard Cross 1960-2014

Loss can seem unfair in so many ways.  It feels unfair when it seems too soon.  It feels unfair that some pass old and grey while others seem to live within the span of mere moments.  To me, the most unfair aspect of loss is that nothing stops.  Tomorrow will still come, the phone will still ring.  People will continue working and tweeting and texting as if all is well in the world.  The world should stop, everyone should stop. Why don't they stop? Richard Cross had an impact on the people that he met.  Richard Cross was a husband, a father, a brother, a friend.  Richard Cross was significant, and saw the significance of the people he interacted with. So why? Why during this time of loss is there still work and traffic and classes? How can the internet machine continue to churn out meaningless posts while we are faced with the daunting task of mixing joy and sorrow?  While we celebrate the life of Richard Cross and we accept the fact that our world is a little paler.  Why don&#

12 Kilometres of Consequences

Hey Mom! Once again, I have been humbled by reality and general principles of physics. I want to start by saying that at no point in time should you feel sorry for me during this story. I did this to myself. I was doing a fair bit of running at the beginning of COVID but then I got sad and busy and also sad so I stopped. Since June 2020 I have run exactly TWO times. ALSO (because you really should not have even an ounce of pity for me) it is important to note that I have never been a long distance runner... ever. Onward! I decided to participate in an ultra marathon relay (ie. I ran part of a race that some people can run all by themselves… good for them). In the beginning, I had every intention of taking this seriously. I was going to go for runs and workout and drink water. What I did do was exactly none of those things. Instead I rolled up on race day wearing my housecoat with a backpack full of snacks. I drank 200mL of water and went on my way. Just a fool in a housecoat tempting f

Irreversibly Redeemed

Hey Mom! Wanna hear something cool and mildly disgusting? Of course you do... that's why you're here.  I have two zits that are symmetrically located on either side of my nose... pretty awesome eh?  These gemini zits are brought to you by your local final exams.  That's right folks just 3 back to back exams and I am home free! You may have noticed that this weekend is Easter.  There are so many things I love about Easter: time with family, a long weekend and the knowledge that the last few new years resolution survivors are being crushed under the temptation of creme eggs and chocolate bunnies so all the Facebook statuses about them being better than the rest of us is going to finally come to an end. There is one thing about Easter that I do have a bit of a struggle with... the fact that someone else had to die for me. It's not because it doesn't paint the perfect picture of love... it does.   It's not because I don't believe it happened... I do
