Dear Anti Diary,

What is it with people taking pictures with celebrities. I do not get it, really. It is not a moment, actually you are taking that moment away by snapping a pic. What they really want is to show people they were in the proximity of that other person who is famous. So in the end it is not about the celebrity at all, they are used and discarded.

I have no plans of following any celebrity to take a pic or even to talk to them. I was asked what if you met that famous guy who you have a crush on?

Well, truth is, I do not want to meet him. I want him to stay in my head, in my fantasies and the way I think he is, because he is probably not at all like that; And even more important, I will never really meet him would I, 5 or 10 or even 30 minutes will not give me the insight I want and society tell us we are so not equal that we are starting off badly anyways.

There is no disappointment in my head for my crush, because that is all he is, a crush. I do not want a picture with him, because I have plenty in my head. I do not need to show people that I was in his proximity, because nobody cares really and I do not care enough to show people.

I like to see the world -and people- with both my eyes, and my satisfaction could maybe come from totally blowing up a little anecdote and making it an very entertaining story to make my friends have a laugh, I need no celebrity for that…

Anyways, keep taking pics though because I think celebrities still think it is about them and at the end of the day we need their egos strong so they keep making the movies or the music we like.

Never underestimate the power of children.

They are smart, aware and actually know they are learning.

Have you even seen that antiallergic ad where they lift a ” veil” and everything is claritin clear? Well that’s how they see reality, free from all the screens we either put or let others put around us.

I’m going to go ahead and try to be childish from now on because that could only mean that one is being honest and open to be amazed

I do not want to loose hope and I do not want to loose my ambition for a better humanity. But sometimes I feel so discouraged.

There is no perfect system, I know. But I also know that every system known to man failed. Granted ones more than others, and some may be doing things right, but they failed.

No, I hold no fact sheets, i just have to read some news and walk around. There are people out there who think not everybody deserves basic dignity like house, education, health and recreation. Really? Some deserve it better than others? and who are those other people?

Some are greedy and ambitious and would sell their mother if that would make them money. Some are not, I know, but they take advantage of an unfair system and they sit and stare at poverty and then they look away. Celebrities, yeah, they give us entertainment and if it wasn’t for us they would not have one dime.

Do not get me wrong I appreciate and respect every job and more over I deeply respect people with passion and thrive, but lets face it, this is a dis balanced society that is leaning more on people not having chances on a good life than good things happening for the well being of all.

what do we want as a group? what prompted us to form groups to begin with, to form societies and cities and countries? Was it not the common well being?

i think we failed, miserably and it is time to change, and change comes with rewiring brains and breaking structures that are based on inequality. it is not going to be easy or pretty, but is it worth it? Ask yourself, how many times have you cried watching a movie about a poor homeless kid? Well, know that there is wider reality out there and we should all cry and do something.

I would have no problem letting go some of my social comfort in order to make this better for more people.

How about you?

By the end of this post, I feel energized again, because it makes me remember all the things I stand for.

Forget Gyms and tanning salons and daycare and playgrounds. Really.

Go into your garden, no matter how small it is or check out your local community garden.

I spent all weekend (long 3 day weekend) in my garden with my 3 year old. We bonded, we laughed and we got dirty. It was awesome.

My body hurts in places that I did not even know existed and quite frankly I love it. I got a tan that can’t be duplicated in a machine and by the end of the day we all ate by Chinese lantern lights and stare at the garden thinking about all the things that will grow and how pretty it will look.

Even my husband took part, he planted his dear pines that he is been trying to get for the past 7 years, and  I must admit, they look incredibly good.

Think about it. Exercise, bonding, spending time with family making your home better and creating a green space not only for you but for the city.

Get back to your roots, the roots of our human condition, the earth is calling you and you will enjoy it.

I would totally worship RA if there was brought back

Its Sunday and tomorrow in this land of opportunities is a national holiday. Queen’s day. That does not mean much to me since I am an immigrant and the Queen of England is not a reference when I think of my people’s history. However, of course all history is related between those who were and are in power and since I am not descendant of the white and powerful who conquered land I take some distance between those who oppressed my people and those who oppressed other people.

I have never seen the Queen here. Of course, this is french land (and I love it). So the Queen and her empire kind of lost here.

Do you know what the licence plate in this province says (translated)?

It says “I remember”

So they remember, they have very present that they are different and that they did not let the English win. And so I moved here, and I can relate to their struggle.

I live in an Oasis in northamerica. We are surrounded and in the middle of your world yet we are somewhat isolated.

It rocks.

I truly really deeply honestly do not care about LIndsay Lohan, or Tom Cruise or Jennifer Lopez latest dress. I know you think I do, as in you think I will read your news more often if you “keep up” with celebrities. No, I wont, actually, I am totally turned off.

Why? Well for one, as I said before, I do not care. But also, I want celebrities to be just that, celebrities. I want actors to be actors, and singers to be singers and models to be models. It is the same principle as I do not want to know if my accountant got drunk and stopped traffic with his butt. God No, i do not want to know.

I want to hear a song or watch a movie without knowing details about stars that will take me out of the story. Art is for that, for making me (and you) get away from reality, dream a little, get inspired.

You, Mr News Corp are making that illusion very difficult by telling me every little thing about people who I do not know, nor I want to know about. I just want to buy a movie ticket or a CD or even sometimes watch a show.

Me: did u call me this morning? Friend: yup, need to ask u something Me: call me again then Friend: I’m gonna re-call you like a Toyota!

Oh my God,

When did we become so detached to our food that we need labels for natural things?

I get it, we should start to re-wire brains so natural is natural again. No more processed, totally agree, only I never could eat processed anyways.

Where my food comes from is really important to me, how was it grown and fed and treated are always questions I ask. I almost never go to supermarkets because they do not carry what I eat or buy or crave, and I cook pretty much everything I eat.

I like this movement about going back to our roots, but sometimes think we are kind of overdoing it by making it a movement, since it is just logical, natural and the way it should be. THis is what I think about movements, they are dangerous because the premise is that in order to agree you have to be part of it and movements always have an enemy as a rule. By creating a group or a club you are leaving people outside and creating guidelines that might not apply for everything…

I love what I eat and eat what I love. I treat food with respect and I care for the people who provide it for me. Simple, basic and very human.
