half drunken ramblings that are largely irrelevant

[coldstorage]

So tonight I caught a glimpse of my past that should have made me happy instead it was the opposite. I dont know if I should chalk this one up to alcohol and me being paranoid or weird or whatever, or if my feelings are legit. Its weird. Your past is something that really should be irrelevant to your life, but yet, it usually has a large part in

The smallest event can have huge impact... who's to say what's trivial. If it affects you, it affects you.

Yes!

A question for SoberAndy: Do you still think that your past should be irrelevant to your life?

Tell me about the YAR position. What's the commitment level? I know a couple activists who might be interested.

The YAR position will be basically doing all the main organizing for the retreat, like contacting facilitators, and doing logistic stuff. The main bulk for it right now will be writing grant proposals and trying to get funding.

tell people to get back to me if they are interested.

hey you andy!!

hey andy, my friend clair posted this to me on livejournal, do you think you can help her?from klar
ps, memory lane currently resides in vancouver for me. good and bad. i think i can identify with what you posted, even if i dont know details.
and i miss you and hope you figure things out. heres her post:
"my band is doing a cross canada tour and wants to do a show or two in winnipeg. we're kind of a punk band. do you know of any venues, houses, or halls to play? Also, what good music is there out there? Do you know of any good bands to try to play with because I find it really difficult to find any bands that don't live in Toronto or Montreal. If you could help me, that'd be so very kind.

My email is moderncreatures@hotmail.com"

wow, what a peice of horseshit that I wrote. I actually kind of forgot I even posted this here. Of course my past matters. damn. "past should be irrelevent" I think that that is probably one of the stupidest thinsg I have ever written.

geez.

hey dude.

don't feel bad about it. we all do it. i think its a product of trying to apply logic to emotional issues. logic and emotions exist on very different levels, i think. logically i can see the sense in the idea that we exist seperately from our pasts, and that the past only exists in physical scars and in stories. but emotionally we are definitely changes as a result of everything that happens to us.

perhaps fort garry dark leads you to tap into the logical part of your brain as a way to deal/cope with the emotional.

i'm off to catch a bus now. i've been on the web for over an hour and this comment is the only meaningful thing that i've done. curse my internet addiction!

Oh yeah, let me know if theres anything I can do to help with the house search. I'm totally down to check the web and forward stuff to you but I'm not sure if thatd be helpful or annoying

I can also get my parents to mail a cheque for damage deposit etc if something good comes up.
