I always start by saying it's been a long time, or that it's been too long. And it always has been. I'm back in Kelowna, almost finished with my apprenticeship schooling, and looking forward to heading to Van City for a few days for some Halloween chaos with old friends. And then, back to Jasper for at least two months, but most likely another five ( Read more... )

Two months it's been since I arrived in this piece of paradise. Almost untouched by plans of destruction, it sits nestled inbetween jagged peaks and mountains of snow and ice. But the snow's melting now and the sun is getting hot; the people are the same but it gets better everyday. I'm ready to call it home now, regardless of what length of time. ( Read more... )

Hey mom, how's it going? The beauty here is amazing, and the people are as well. So far I've had my two day orientation, which was awesome, and now I eagerly await my first kitchen shift on Friday. I've already met quite a few employees, it's very similar to college here, just without the books...My address is P.O Box 80, Jasper AB, T0E 1E0, Cabin ( Read more... )

This is a place where smoke and mirrors set the scene. And an honest person is few and far between. In this space I've sat before; late night discussion and the art of metaphor. Living in this place I've walked cold streets so drunk and restless. I could spend a whole lifetime trying to forget this. Faces seem so distant here, but we grow closer ( Read more... )

it's time to say goodbye to this house of mine. 18 years is a long time. i've lost and gained so much with so many. but fuck this town in winter is upsetting; you try to remember when you should be forgetting. but the summer is always our time to sin: feel the needle pierce your skin. see stabbings in the street and smoke weed in the heat. yes, ( Read more... )

One year fast forward and slow down to one month and one week. Quick blink and I'm back to standing alone, no need for the phone or a lighter. I've never been a big fighter, but please, old friend of mine, take a swing, I beg of you. Nothing more to say now, the violence seems fitting. Good bye Kelowna, I don't want to walk your streets any longer ( Read more... )

It's only addiction that keeps us alive. Day in and out we fuss and shout and question our morality. But with every breath that's laced with death my mind further slips away. It's all just happening and yes, sometimes, it scares me. When being right is far worse than being wrong, why the optimism? Those alley ways are far away now, thinking in ( Read more... )

Don't see the big picture, it will only depress you. Don't allow the masses to influence you, it will only lead you astray. I've been exercising more caution than I have civil liberties, but democracy to me is still a form of liberty. A party bag of many evils; they say these men and women represent us. But why not represent yourself and leave the ( Read more... )
