Home
Home. It is strange but I don't think of home as a place anymore. I think it is a state of mind. When you turn around and walk away, the place you were in changes. The people and their lives evolve, and suddenly your place and they way you connected with it disappears. You can walk back to the same spot and it will never feel the same.
But the new place you are in doesn't feel like home either. It is missing all the memories from your past, all the familiar sights, all the people. So where is home. I think home is your state of being - where you feel comfortable in your mind and when you are in your own element. To me that happens to be on the keyboard typing my thoughts out. I know no one reads this blog, but it is a way for me to outlet. So I have decided that in the new year, I will spend more time at home - on my blog - writing out to the world.
I have also decided that Boxing Day is NOT home. I came to Toronto for the holidays from NYC to come "home". But little did I realize that on Boxing Day , the lunatic asylum opens its doors into every mall in the city and vultures devour the christmas spirit. Take in all the Peace on Earth you can on Dec 25, because the next day tranquility has left the planet. I would like to conduct an experiment and unleash a hungry Bengal Tiger in the mall and see if anyone notices. Or if someone attempts to buy a half eaten mangled carcass at 70% off.
In the end, I felt compelled to purchase something as if to justify having braved such pandemonium. I took my recently purchase $5 luggage tags and walked briskly to my car ala NYC pedestrian speed.
To solidify that premise that the spirit of giving has been extinguished, I was greeted with a whopping $250 parking ticket for parking in a fire zone. I'm glad that the fire marshall has their priorities - the one foot or so my car was in the fire zone over the two thousand people crammed into a tiny store selling flammable ladies clothing by candlelight. I should get my friend the Bengal Tiger to light a match and see what happens.
I swear if I ever lose my luggage - the most valuable piece will be my now $255 luggage tags. That is a boxing day discount of -2550% .
Grr... of the Day
Apparently, those luggage tags can be ordered online for $3 year-round.
