Big White Getaway Weekend

I just spent one of the most enjoyable 4 days with the most random selection of people up at the Big White Ski Resort just outside of Kelowna, BC.  One of my Califor-ni-ay friends, Mr Forrest Jinks, planned a ski/board vacation with a few of his male associates and was kind enough to invite me and my Kelowna-native partner in crime, Amy Johnston, along. I’m debating what was more popular: ski/boarding or fuseball…or poker for that matter. But either way, it was a perfect timed get away with gorgeous sunny days on the hill, deep meaningless talks in the hottub, and 4am poker games (of course, not to mention continuous fuseball rivalrys which, I’m pretty sure, were more about the celebratory dancing then the actual game) to end off my crazy over booked month of January. It was such a raging success, we just might do it again next year! Check out the gong show pix thru the link below.

This is scary…

You have got to check out this video. It’s long, but it’s worth it. Scientologist, Tom Cruise defines Scientology and outlines the responsibilities of other Scientologists. Now don’t get me wrong, I do not judge him for being so committed to his religion. I appreciate faith and commitment, being a Christian myself, and also respect the freedom to choose which path suits you best. But when someone starts making statements like, “We are the way to happiness”, “We can bring peace and unite cultures”, not to mention, “When you drive by an accident, you know you have to do something about it, because you know you’re the only one who can really help.” , my hackles go up.

Watch this video and see what you think…

Share and share alike??

So I was just listening to the radio and an interesting point was brought up. They were talking about cheating, which, I’m pretty sure everyone says is bad, but somehow, it continues to happen. Funny that!  Anyways, the conversation was about revenge cheating/sex. As in, if your partner cheats on you in some way or another, are you justified in doing the same thing back? Or maybe not justified in doing it, but maybe SHOULD you do in return just so they know how bad they hurt you? And if you DO feel like revenge cheating is necessary, how soon should this happen? This sounds like a really wierd question but here’s the scenerio: Your partner cheats on you, you have a big fight about it, decide to stay together (don’t ask me why) and then, 6 months down the road the opportunity presents for you to cheat…do you sort of have a “get out of jail free card” because he/she cheated on you? Or even if just the next day after you’ve been cheated on the opportunity presents, should you/would you??

This is my opinion: (even though you didn’t ask for it)

I have NO time for cheaters. There is a saying, “once a cheat, always a cheat”. I’m not sure how I feel about that, might be true, or perhaps, everyone makes mistakes. I’d like to think it would maybe depend on the situation, but I definatly know I’d have a hard time staying with the person who cheated on me. That being said, if we did somehow make it thru and work it out, I don’t believe ANYTHING gives me free reign to do the same to him. Otherwise, I’m no better than he is. I believe it’s clear that if someone is cheating, there is something drastic missing from the relationship, and probably, you shouldn’t be together.

So I’m curious…what do you think??? Have you been cheated on? (I’ll open that one up and admit that I have been cheated on) What do you think of payback? Would you stay with the person who cheated on you??
