Life is full of unexpected surprises....

So the last few days have been filled with unexpected surprises, for starters I have received some unexpected gifts in the mail. Although, most say its to be expected, I was not expecting it, so indeed it was a surprise for me. I tend to pretty much have very low expectations on things. Perhaps that is because I just maybe scared to be disappointed. I have been disappointed by so many people so many times, that it only seems fair that I should live without expectations. I think that for me seeing things this way can only leave room for less disappointment. I also enjoy receiving the unexpected when things do workout (on those rare occasions) so I guess in the end things always workout for the best, be it good or bad....so here is to the unexpected...may life mysteries just blow me away, because sometimes that is just what I need to get me through the day!

Just in need of a break....

So the last few days have been filled with Tobacco Policy Paper writing, followed by loads of reading on the economics of changing America's health care system.....The verdict is still out on whether that will ever happen, but a paper of great quality must be written by friday's deadline, so in my procrastination to do this I decided to take to my blog and write about absolutely nothing, and entertain my readers with random thoughts as I listen to the John Mayer accept his Grammy for something or the other....

What I will talk about today is that Hallmark Holiday that America has managed to commercialize all over the world. On Saturday all those happily in love will go out to romantic dinners, and celebrate their love....Should this not be something that you celebrate everyday? Or is this day just extra special because you get to actually display to all those around you just how much you love that special some? I sure hope not the latter because that only means that I will have to endure extra make sessions on every corner of Kings Cross Station....my two very close friends here in London can attest to that!!! Man these Brits are just so passionate that no corner can be left untouched....Displays of love... are.... how should I put it....hmmm their specialty. But I guess I will just have to see for myself and report back what I see...
But for all of you in love, I do wish you all a very happy evening, but just remember everyday is valentines day.....don't let hallmark dictate when you should tell the one you love that you love them.....
Well those are my thoughts for the evening...so I am over and out!
