Spark Le – Spark It

I think I’m fried.

After my exam, I went to Tim Hortons to get a donut, and perhaps a drink. No, I didn’t break my vow of a coffee-less week. I opted for tea instead. I think I might need a stimulant in order to cram for Sociology (tomorrow at 9).

Anyway, I was waiting in line I saw this ad for gift baskets that they were offering. I noticed in the background that there was the word “peace” in faint letters. It blended in pretty well. I started looking around for other words and saw what seemed to be French. However, it wasn’t a phrase that made sense to me. I mean, “Spark le”? I thought it was so new ghetto French term for “peace” that I hadn’t heard of. I mean…”spark it”…it being, perhaps, a peaceful lifestyle? Who knew?

After more careful examination though, it turned out that I was looking at the word “sparkle”. Well, what the hell happened?

Anyway, Merry Christmas, and may “spark it” happen on Earth.
