Flashbacks- May 17

2008
I was vaguing about something. I have no idea what, but there's a line of one word statuses.

2010
I was complaing about the weather, which is my usual state of being. (see last post LMAO)

2011
I made poutine for dinner.

I shared this blog Things Stephen Harper Does To Seem Human full of awkward photo ops from our now former Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

2012
I took this video of the partial demolition of the shopping mall I lived behind. It was for the renovation to bring new stores because Target was coming to that mall. There was construction that entire summer, and because of the heat most it was done from 5am-11am.

I shared this article about a pitbull who saved it's unconcious owner's life.

I'm crying. I hope things get better for Lilly and her owner Christine. And this does go to show that it's not the dogs themselves that are violent.

I live in a jurisdiction where pitbulls are illegal, and I still don't think breed specific legislation makes sense. It hasn't reduced the number of dog attacks.

My favourite band released a single that wasn't on their album they'd released the autumn before. It's a fantastic track that was included on a later rerelease. They'd had hope this track would launch Hedley in the States, but they didn't. Hedley is still more or less unknown in the United States while they continue to rules Canadian airwaves. (Related, they're recording their SEVENTH album right now, and I'm pumped. I'd had hope there would be a new album this year from their recording habits. Like back in January I penciled NEW HEDLEY ALBUM in my agenda for November, but back in March they announced their drummer had left and I was disappointed. Now I'm back to feeling pumped for their likely November release)

Ah haa haa. I found a stack of poems I wrote in grade 7. I thought I was a good writer back then. SO much better now.

Wow, how mean to my past self was I. of course I'd be a better writer in 2012 compared to 1999/2000.

2015
I was trying to decide whether I wanted to go see Mad Max Fury Road or Pitch Perfect 2 in theatre on cheap Tuesday. I didn't end up seeing either of them in cinema.

I took this personality quiz and got the results of

Your 5 dominant traits are: Spiritual, Emotionally Intelligent, Charismatic, Analytical and Grounded. You are very in touch with your senses and read other people very well. You are hungry for adventure and excited about life, but you are also very humble and sincere. You are a great problem solver and have a balanced perspective about things.

2016
My (knockoff) Dallas Stars jersey arrived, shortly after they were eliminated from the playoffs.

I should have ordered one size down, but because I was ordering from China I wasn't sure how the sizing was actually going to work out. ($30 vs $300 and like who can tell the difference unless they're really looking, and I ended up getting my $30 back because one of the grommets around the lacing came off in the mail)
