Brendon feels a strange sense of accomplishment today. He began his trek with his family at 9:00 AM this morning. It took no longer than 45 minutes to drive down to the "Telus World of Science" which will always remain as "Science World" in his heart.
It was really early in the morning for me because I had slept fairly late the previous night, so I slept in the car. We had prepaid tickets to go see Bodyworlds 3 as my mom thought I would like to see it ( me being a bio-sciency person and all ). It was fairly interesting! They had everything from cross-sections of whole human bodies, to comparative sizes of hearts due to stress levels. I learned a lot about the 'wear and tear' within the body, as they showed multiple cases of a normal organ/bone and then its diseased counterpart. Right at the beginning of the tour, they had large questions posted around for all to see. The questions told us to pay attention to the way you observe and picture your body BEFORE the tour, and then see how that impression differs AFTER. I didn't think much of it beforehand, but once out of the tour, I just really admired the complexity of god's design of the human body and how fragile we can be. I really liked how my family got to be together though :) Life is to be cherished. Enjoy your present life, and look towards the future. Never take things too seriously. Every moment to be enjoyed, every moment to be lived. Never hesitate, for you may never again have the chance to make that decision.
We then proceeded to have lunch on Main St. at this Vietnamese restaurant we haven't been to in ages. HONG DOW BING! Red bean er... ice dessert? I do not know how to say it in english, but sometime I will take you all to go try it :D I made it home with an hour or so to spare before work ( which I happen to use very efficiently in relaxing ). At work, this very nice lady retired and she cried. It was touching. I'm going to miss some people there, as there have been some fun times. Au revoir Zellers sur le dix janvier deux-mille-sept.

Oh, sweet lungs don't fail me now.
Your burning has turned into fear;
Drills me in my every step.
I'm moving quick, but you're always on my heels.
Just one more breath, I beg you please.
Just one more step, my knees are weak.
My heart is sturdy, but it needs you to survive.
My heart is sturdy, but it needs you.
Breathe, don't you want to breathe?
I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need.
My capillaries scream; there's nothing left to feed on.
My body needs a reason to cross that line.
Will you carry me there one more time?
Steady lungs, don't fail me now.
I feel you bursting, but you won't let me die.
Fill me up with every step.
I'm feeling sick, but I'm leaving it behind.
Just one long breath, I beg you please.
Just one more step, you are not weak.
My legs are sturdy, but they need you to survive.
My heart is sturdy, but I need you.
Breathe, don't you want to breathe,
And know that you are strong enough to handle what I need?
My capillaries scream; there's nothing left to feed on.
My body needs a reason to cross that line.
Will you carry me there once more?
Once more.
I have reason to believe that I have victories to taste.
I can feel them on my teeth, upon my lips, and in my chest.
I can roll them on my tongue, they are more supple than defeat.
I feel the tension in my lungs and every move is filled by my resolve to,
Breathe, don't you want to breathe?
I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need.
My capillaries scream; there's nothing left to feed on.
My body needs a reason to cross that line.
Will you carry me there one more time?
