Shuswap lake is such a beautiful thing. I can get up at any time I like, take whatever I want for breakfast, and laze around until noon. Or, I can get up at 6, jump in the lake, and go waterskiing. Today I stayed in bed till 8, made some coffee for those who wanted it, and now I'm here at the computer typing into my blog. I'm feeling quite relaxed as I head into today, and I'm wondering what it is that I'll do. So far I'm just feeling motivated to work on my future film Waiting for Yesterday. I don't think I'll say anything about it just yet though, to keep you in suspense. Oh, here's a good joke (unrelated to WFY).

The little boy says to his grandpa, "Grandpa, can you make a sound like a frog?"

"Well I guess I could, but why do you ask?"

"Because Mommy says that when you croak, we can go to Hawaii!"

From the mouths of babes... :P

I really wish I knew how many people are reading this. I don't mind if no one's reading it, but really, it would make me feel so much better if people did. So maybe it's boring and random, but at least there's some substance here. How about this: if I write something profound, will you consider sending a link to your friends? Or maybe bookmarking this page? Well, here goes:

In nature, there is one thing that drives every animal - the will to survive. Behind that is the idea of 'survival of the fittest'. That means that in a group of say, elephants, when they are moving away from their predators (lions), some will be able to move faster than others. The slowest elephant will be the one that is killed, and therefore the entire herd is that much faster. "A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link". Now, it sounds harsh that only the strongest animals should survive, but that's exactly how natural selection works. Now if we look at humans, we'll see the opposite - when a person is close to death, we spend thousands of dollars trying to keep them alive, when really we should be letting them die. Ouch, that didn't sound so nice, did it? But really, we need to let all the sick people die so that our species can be that much stronger. Is Euthanasia on humans legal in Canada? I think it should be. Hmmmmm, this argument is so much better in person. Still, it sounds kind of profound, right?

There's this guy called Aesop. He wrote a book full of fables, and I'm going to look for that as soon as I get home in 2 days. They're short little stories that have an often applicable lesson built in. If you ever get a chance, please take a look. I might start writing a few on here, depending on if I find it or not.

That's about all I feel like writing at the moment, so again, thank you for reading, and I hope you'll visit again soon.
