Random thoughts: What’s on your mind lately?

[cru_33]

Can't wait to be in Toronto (on a family vacation from tonight at 4:15, until Monday at 7:00).

Going to see Green Day, Rancid, Smashing Pumpkins and The Linda Lindas. Really excited, I've seen GD close to a dozen times now, and they have simply never disappointed me.

I've never seen Rancid, but I have seen Tim Armstrong solo, and he was terrific.

Smashing Pumpkins is gonna be a first, and I am thrilled. And the Linda Lindas, I won't lie, never heard a song, but stoked to watch them be an opener on an all star punk/rock line up.

Let me know how it was, seen them 3 years ago and basically elevator music, never played their hits that made them popular.

I heard that Billy Corgan refused to only play hits, so they played "what they felt like", but with this lineup, I hope all bands play their classics

One would think after all these years to not take my daughter shopping, outside Lulu

Don't mind not playing only hits but none at all....

At the Carreford mall ( big mall ) with my daughter, waiting outside Lululemon. Hate to see my credit card once the day is over. On a side note the mall wifi will not allow Merb in a search, had to use a store wifi.

I live in that store. I’m there so often they’re gonna start asking me to pay rent (which I probably do already with how much I’m spending)

Siamese Dream is definitely my favorite album. Favorite song - Disarm (although I am tempted to say Luna lol)

Well fuck, have to drive back to the Carreford mall. Lost my wallet there and gave my number to security in case someone found it.
After I got through the tunnel at 4pm the mall called and someone returned my wallet money still there, was not planning to drive back there when rush hour was starting.
Told security if someone returns it to get their number, will e-transfer the $120 I had in my wallet to them. Worth every penny.

Happy for you, losing your cards is such a pain in the butt

I’ve been robbed by pickpokets in the RER in Paris last fall. Outside the cash lost, (around $300) rebuilt a wallet is a nightmare, worst than the cash lost.

Its a tough one….Fav album , fav song…fav artist….hmmm…

During my studies at McGill I was into alternative rock…which was definitely an acquired taste not for everyone.
My fav band was Gentle Giant, their best albums were “Octopus” and “In a Glass house”. I also liked Genesis in the earlier days when Peter Gabriel was still part of the band…after his departure they became less “alternative” and more into more conventional mainstream pop music. ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) was also a fav.

My fav artist was Freddy Mercury from Queen…what a performer. Bohemian Rhapsody…WOW

My fav song of all times is “comfortably numb” by pink Floyd. The guitar solo by David Gilmour is one of the most technically difficult to play and a masterpiece…listening to it still gives me goosebumps every time.

Someone just cancelled on me last minute and that made me think: I can see why people are so strict about deposits

Blame that man

I had a minor procedure done and was given pain killers and combined with the pain I feel nauseous I need to eat but I'm nervous lol.. aside from that.. I'm feeling pretty calm. I realized I have to let go of my past relationship and I'm ready to move on and start a new chapter in my life. I'm enjoying taking care of myself and upgrading my apartment by making it even cuter and cozier.

Siamese Dream is definitely my favorite album. Favorite song - Disarm (although I am tempted to say Luna lol)

luna is a really soothing song tbh but all of the smashing pumpkins songs have this melancholic tone to them. i just remembered their cover of depeche mode's "never let me down again" and it's such a good song and so sad...

That is annoying. On another thread on MERB here recently I saw a man chiming in about another clients experience with a particular indy SP, how the SP talked to the client for 45 minutes and the client only got 15 minutes of action and basically said that the SP ripped off the client. Many other members told this member correctly that you have no idea if the client enjoys the talking part or to take away from that clients experience because according to the clients post he was happy with his service.

This is the flip side of that, except it is basically the client ripping off the SP because they have no idea what the SP has to do to clear that block of time for their client, or the opportunity cost the SP may have had to bear if they had other clients inquire later for the same time slot or for an even longer duration appointment but, the SP stayed committed to their original booking. Especially if the SP is low volume day to day. Now sometimes emergencies happen or a client could get sick and a cancellation is warranted but, I think more often than not it is just blatant disregard for another's time. The only way this is even remotely acceptable is if the client is a long time regular with whom you have had a positive history then maybe you could give them the benefit of the doubt but, I think at least from my perspective a client like that would find a way to make it up to the SP. Anyways, that person has no idea what they missed out on. Their loss.

Je voudrais revenir sur le sujet principal de ce tread : Random thoughts, what is in your mind lately. What’s in my mind reading this thread (and others so popular) is not very sexy. C’est une question de langue (sans jeux de mots). J’ai remarqué que la majorité des contributeurs des fils de discussions peuvent écrire dans un très bon français mais plus de 90% des discussions sont en anglais. J’ai en tête l’image d’une réunion avec 10 participants, 9 francophones et un anglophone et la réunion se déroule en anglais. Ce forum est celui de Montréal, où la langue est censée être française. Je comprend très bien que la plateforme de MERB est anglophone avec TERB et PERB, mais qu’est ce qui nous empêche de communiquer dans notre langue? Je ne prêche pas par l’exemple puisque j’ai souvent écris en anglais. J’aimerais avoir votre opinion sur ce sujet.
It was my patriotic 2 cents …..
Sans rancune.
