It is 1:05 am EST. The movers have come and gone with my stuff. The sum total of my 31 years in Toronto, according to the Atlas shipping manifest, is 15 boxes, two surfboards and a snowboard. In just over 36 hours, I'm going to leave everything I've ever known and start a new life on the other side of the continent.

What was once a matter of weeks away is now a matter of days away. I'm excited and melancholic at the same time. Oh, and hotter than a horny weasel in a lambswool sock.
By the way, I want to send out a big 'FUCK YOU' to the Royal Bank of Canada for screwing up my moving plans.

I've been thinking about LA lately. I grew up there, kindof. It's been 10 years but I miss it. Banks are always fuckers. ALWAYS. 
It's 1:15 AM EST. I have five more days before I leave. I feel the nostalgia setting in already, and I'll have to do all I can to prevent it from becoming melancholy. Sometimes, I really wish I wasn't so introspective.
The goodbye tour wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The dinners with friends and family were low-key, but poignant. I spent...

Flying back from LA today, I realized that I am falling for a girl in Toronto that I've only known for 2 months. Fuck, this complicates matters.

I'm going to be 32 in 4 days. Where the hell did the time go? Eh, I feel a funk of reflection coming on. Did you know a guy I knew in high school, who was a total dork and is my age, is now married and has a baby on the way? Shit, what the fuck have I been doing the last 30-odd some...

And you vote in a constituency where your vote actually counts for something
I'll never forget the first election I voted in. The news came on, just after the polls closed and Peter Mansbridge said "The polls have just closed in Alberta, but the election is over. The Liberals have won a majority."
You can't wash that kind of bad taste out.
The NDP are too short sighted and old lefty for my tastes. The Conservatives scare the pee out of me. The Liberals make me physically ill.
Looks like I'm voting Green again.

Who the fuck knew that relocating to another country would be such a hassle? And if you did know, why the hell didn't you warn me???
BTW, if I read one more person refer to this city as 'T Dot', I'm going to whack Casey and Finnegan. I mean it.

Why would you want ot sleep through what's going on in your life? I mean, c'mon, things are going pretty good ain't they?
And what few shreds of sanity I have were heavily frayed as the systems installer came in, looked at the contact that was going off and said "yeah, this was installed wrong, you'll probably still get a fine."

hey ~ if i had that option on a regular basis, i would be forever inspired! 
A person doesn't realize how much he or she is loved until he or she leaves a place. This week has held a series of revelations for me. I'm really going to miss Toronto.
shiva8:
i didn't realize you were in toronto. i would've asked you more questions about it... it's one of the places i most want to go.
arachnequarius:
yes, indeed ~ the bittersweet joy of moving.
Yo La Tengo, comic books and shade on a sunny day. Yup, that's all I need. I'm pretty low-maintenence.
Have a safe trip.
