Last night I went to visit my Uncle John. This is always an interesting experience, because he and I share a similar outlook on life, and in so many ways I consider myself to be a lot like him. Besides being a tremendously entertaining person to talk to, he always makes me think about things, and has an amazing way of saying things that somehow ( Read more... )

This is different. Usually if I'm still up at 3 am it's because I've been downtown, or at a party. Well, that's sort of the case tonight, except I'm totally sober, and the night was pleasantly relaxed. I got invited to a movie night at my friend Amanda's friend's place. It was in Bedford, so we had a nice long bus ride on the 80. Amanda told me how ( Read more... )

In the words of a great comedian: "I just wanna dance". It's been quite a while since I was downtown, and I'm just really wanting to get there lately. REALLY wanting to get there.

JOHN PINETTE IS COMING TO HALIFAX! Made my entire week when I saw the flyer tonight.

Spontaneous downtown is the BEST! Cause you don't have any expectations!

Ah, Everwood is on in re-runs! They're showing the first season now, so its almost five years old, and I don't remember much of it. But, I only had to watch one episode to remember how much I love it!

Soemtimes I think my expectations in life are too high. I expect too much, too fast. And no matter how much experience tries to teach me, I still do it, because I just can't help myself ( Read more... )

The last two mornings I woke up, and found myself completely disoriented. I knew I wasn't at home... but yet I was. I thought I was back in Colby, you see, and was totally baffled at the realization what I was in some poorly decorated apartment bedroom, in some weird and overly excited city. Oh yeah, and all my stuff was there. I guess this must be ( Read more... )
