Good To Be Home

Back in TO! New apartment and a new school year. I expect lots of updates and lots of fun to be had. Good times all around.

Cheers!

4AM False Alarm

You know what is wonderful? 4AM fire alarms in your apartment. There is nothing that makes me happier then trying to sleep for a 6AM flight and getting woken up by a piercing klaxon that causes your cat to launch itself talon-first off your chest.

Seriously, if you can think of something more joyous then going from a happily deep sleep to an ICBM launch siren in your face I would like to hear it. Getting ravaged by your house pet is just a bonus at that point really.

At least I got some good commiseration time in with the rest of the building tenants. Nothing brings people closer together then waiting outside to find out what douche bag burned their toast.

4th time this year. Wonderful.

It's all good :)

Quiet Moments in Urban Life

I like to pay respect to the background noise at times. The moments we have trained ourselves to tune out sometimes end up being worth engaging.

Crossing an intersection on Bloor I struggled to hear my friend speak. With casual irritation I glanced over at this scene. What struck me at the time was how this guys life IS that background noise. Taking a moment to appreciate his respective little bubble ended up being worth my time.

Cheers guy.

Chill Out People!

Happened upon this lazy little scene the other day. Fairly fitting since I have been freaking out lately with finding a new apartment, managing my courses and playing tour guide. This moment provided me with a corollary that was staring me in the face the entire time. CHILL. OUT. MAN.

So I am.

I feel better. ;)

Also, What the Hell is up with Summer??

Seriously. Look at this woman. It is like she's getting raped by mother nature.

Follow That Vespa

I've been coveting Vespas now for about a month. They aren't quite up to the European level of acceptance over here yet but I think I might get on board. Look at this guy. It's like the world is playing an Of Montreal track wherever he goes, he is that cool.

;)

Sooooooo Hot

I took this photo at the Carabana Festival. When sorting through them I realized I had over 300 photos of brazilians undulating on floats, a couple of a hotdog stands, and then this. I tried so hard on the other ones and took this one haphazardly... it is weird how that works.

In other news: Pineapple express comes out this week. Ohhhhhhh yeah.

I'm not going to lie to you. I've got nothing for this post. The NiN concert has jellied my brain.

Lucid Moments

Have you ever had one of those moments where, for whatever reason, you transition from melancholy to a heightened awareness or clarity of self? I like those. It gives you time to think about what the hell you are doing. Everything seems comfortable and you can flirt with the things that are stressing you out... take stock of them without really engaging them.

I was feeling that way when I took this pic. Was sitting on a wall on Bay Street watching cars go by. (Reminds me of a Sasha Remix).
