You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better. ~ Anne Lamott
I first met Queen Amy when I was going to college. There was a basement food court in an office tower where my friends and I could go and get a cup of coffee, talk, and study without the usual interruptions at school. We could also get a cheap meal at a couple of the kiosks and Chicken for Lunch was one of those places. The food was amazing and cheap but it was also like ordering from the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld. Amy Quon has a rather dynamic personality, to say the least.
A couple of years ago, the Quons, who also own a rather popular Chinese food restaurant, had a reality TV show The Quon Dynasty which, should you get the chance, you should watch. It is hilarious.
Yesterday I went to get my toenails cut because I always give myself ingrown toenails a pedicure and have my brows ripped off my head when who should I see but the Queen herself. Of course, she was meditating while she enjoyed some pampering.
I would have done the same but my feet are ticklish and its important to not kick the nail tech in the head when she is using a straight blade to remove calluses.
I'm just going to come out and say it.
I do not support the war effort or Canada's participation in that mess in the Middle East. I do not recognize Queen Elizabeth as a queen, much less the queen of Canada. I would never take an oath where I had to swear on a Bible that I would protect and defend her either. I think it is time we removed Lizzie's face from our currency and stopped singing "God Save The Queen."
I'm pretty sure that all of this is going to get me kicked out of Canada, even though I bleed maple leafs.
Whatever. Prince William needs hair plugs and Kate Middleton looks like she's been rode hard and put away wet. Even the monarchy are not immune to human trappings like male pattern baldness and emaciation and fatigue resulting from blind ambition.
So there's that.
What I do support are the troops, the military personnel who took an oath to protect Canada and all that this country is and stands for.
Bless you for not being as selfish as I am.
