Toronto was awesome, had a really chilled time there, looking forward to G’s wedding when I’ll be going back there for almost a week to be his Shomer (Guard duty ;)

Went out motzey shabbos with some peeps to chill in a blues bar (who woulda thunk) in downtown toronto called Grossmans (again who woulda thunked) the band was cool and the beer was plenty ;) they played one song that I really liked and after they were done I asked the singer dude if he can e-mail me the lyrics, which surprisingly enough he actually did...

DON`T BE SAD

Don`t be sad and lonely, run off by yourself
Don`t think you`re the only one
Who`s life`s been put to the test
What you lost you never had
For what you`ve got you should be glad
Don`t be alone, we`re in your corner
Restart your life, get things in order

“Chorus”

Don`t be sad and lonely
You`ve got friends by your side
Don`t be sad and lonely
Have the will to survive

“Guitar solo”

Time spent alone, was hard I know
Turn it around, take the time to grow
Stay in touch, don`t fade away
Turn your sights on a brand new day

“Chorus”

“Organ solo”

What you lost you never had
For what you`ve got you should be glad
Don`t be alone, we`re in your corner
Restart your life, get things in order

“Chorus”

Thanks to WIRES for sending me this one.

If you are sitting next to someone who irritates you on a plane - and let's be honest, we've all been there......

1. Quietly and calmly open up your laptop case.

2. Remove your laptop.

3. Boot it up.

4. Make sure the guy who won't leave you alone can see the screen.

5. Open this message.

6. Close your eyes start mumbling under your breath and tilt your head up to the sky.

7. Then hit this LINK

Was at a Farbi last night (Yud Shvat) after most of the guys had already left, it was basically just me and the Rabbi/Mashpia (aside for the one guy sleeping on the couch) and we were speaking on the topic of Chasidish marriage/children…

CS: “So tell me Rabbi, what kind of girl do you see me marrying? ‘Cuz my parents think… and I think... So, what do you think?”

Rabbi: “Well I can understand your parents… and I definitely understand you… I think you should look for… such and such kind of girl… basically what I would call a “CHASIDISH SHIKTZA”.

CS: =:o

Sitting open mouthed in shock for about 10 seconds and then cracking up laughing.

I then confirmed that rabbi had actually no idea of my blog identity (and went on to explain what a blog is and why I had found what he said before so funny.) Oh yeah and so that is how (after a long absence of one) I now have a new mashpia. Mazal tov.

Waiting for my Chasidishe Shiktza,
Chasidishe Shaigitz.
