2-day vacations

We just realized that a short trip to Niagara can be pretty damn refreshing.Good to know....

Toronto weather has been amazing this winter. Most of the times , I have been able to walk (short distances) in my shirt without wearing a coat.

What happened to -40 ? global warming might know the answer?!

Resolution for New Year

Surprisingly, my new resolution in the year of 2012 has nothing to do with what I thought I should do in 2012. It started by noticing the fact that I do not notice how serious I think of my problems and how my mind always generates a halo of complexity around a problem which may not be as complex as it looks all or may not be as important as I take it. I have always followed the advice of scholars and have tried to apply what they have had to say. One of the major guidelines of my life has been the following Einstein quote:

“Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.” Albert Einstein

However, my understanding of the above quote was that to solve a problem effectively, one must built a higher level of thinking in which the problem can be analyzed by all its related elements. A creative mind may – silently – add a few unreasonable elements to such problem and make it a more complex and complicated problem. There is no proof that complex problems can be only solved by solutions that are more complex than these problems. Therefore, even complex problems may have simple solutions. A thinker who sees the problem the way that the problem is and tries to find the simplest yet most effective way of dealing with it is what I call a “Happy Thinker”. One of my main resolutions in the year of 2012 is to understand/adopt and apply this method if thinking.....

Upsetting situation...

Just wanted to write down about few things that are really bothering me right now.

- Alex is taking a lot of my mind and I just don't know the consequences of not having him...

- I wish there was an easy way to get a replacement for him

- I really want to find another Alex for us but it just seem impossible right now as we have other priorities.

Maybe these are the last few years that we are struggling for these things. I came to work and I was already really tired. The whole night I was thinking about what Ifs !

I went to imgfave, "Make me think" collection and saw tens of them to see if they can make me feel better . I guess it's my defense mechanism towards annoying feelings. I feel a bit better now.

I hope in few years, when I check this post again, I see our life at a different stage.

To Alex: You were kind to us and we will always remember you.

Washington D.C

I had a very busy week in Maryland and Virginia...on my way to Washington Dulles Airport I witnessed one of the worst thunderstorms that I have ever seen, It was pretty much the kind of tropical storms that I saw in Mexico. Due to crazy weather situation, our flight had almost 4 hours delay and I got to Toronto really late.

Here are some related pictures....

Nothing left to go wrong .............

These days, I'm often bothered with a mixture of sad or rather unwanted feelings. so far, I wonder if all these feelings are caused by real factors or some are simply just made by my creative imagination. (creative in creating problems that do not really exist or may not happen! ) . Another reason could be the fact that I have heard at least one shocking news every other day.... the only good thing is soon there will be nothing left and of course nothing can go wrong when there is nothing left ....... It all reminds me of this amazing quote:

To where should I go ?

To right , wherer there is nothing left....
Or
To left, where there is nothing right

I will stay with you tonight

I will stay with you tonight
Keep you safe from all you hide
All we were was just a dream…

Here our past is left behind
Now our paths are intertwined
All we were and all we’ll be…

(Now…) I’ll keep it all alight
When there’s nobody out there
When you’re far beyond the waves
I will bring you air…

I will stay with you tonight
Keep you safe from all you hide
All we were was just a dream…

A thousand lives we’ve lived til now
All this beauty that surrounds
All we were and all we seek…

(Now…) I’ll keep it all alight
Make sure you find the way
When you feel you are nowhere…

I’ll keep it all alight
When there’s nobody out there
When you’re far beyond the waves
I will bring you air…

I will bring you air

Earth - An unfair Place

We all know the eveloution theory and we know that It's about the survival of the fittest and not the survival of the best. well that indicates that life is all about survival and it's easy to imagine that survival is all about competition. Hence a massive competiton is going on and since we are not all identical, we have to use our given power and features to compete better. This effor makes the world and unfair place to live in.
