It's been a while since my last entry, but i felt i should add something more regularly.

Today was a sad day that was cloudy and dreary.  i was stuck working and at the Mississauga office at 7:30AM due to some scheduled maintenance work.  That was boring, but during the power outage, i decided to explore Mississauga. i had driven through it (Hurontario street) and other parts of it, but never really explored this "city"...

Well... i have to say, i was very unimpressed.  The "city" is designed for cars. the roads are very wide and are made for several cars.  everyone there was driving (i feel hypocritical because so i was i).  but there was just so much traffic everywhere in this "city", simply because almost everywhere i went was just an endless sea of houses.  the only break from that was the odd plaza, that monstrosity of a mall, called SQUARE ONE and the horrific looking condos littering the skyline... it just left a terrible impression on me and i felt like i needed to escape it.

I managed to find a small park by the waterfront which was very quiet. i sat on the edge of Lake Ontario. it's vastness reminded me of the ocean and it was very calming and soothing... it was nice to take a walk and get away from the rest of Mississauga... i guess the dreary day really set a mood in me, and i loaded up the soundtrack to "Me, You and Everyone We Know" by Michael Andrews, which is very introspective... a great soundtrack for life.

The stay at the park was too short as i had to go back to work to finish up... but first i had to see Square One, which i kinda regretted (i was told i had to see this place by several people... advice i should have ignored).  i did buy stuff though (i'm a consumer)... i went to bulk barn and bought Pistachios because they were on sale! haha... awesome.

After finishing work, i high tailed it back to my quiet neighbourhood. i live in a residential area, but it's not quite as gross as suburbia.
