So, I was just coming out the subway, and well.. it turns out the mayor of Toronto lives about 5 minutes from me.

I voted for him, I think he'll do wonders for the city (hopefully) and given his predecessor, it's not a huge stretch of the imagination.

I talked to him for a few minutes regarding the city's budget shortfalls (in particular public transit - considering we both just walked out of the subway) and he was extremely nice, willing to talk, and even explain how certain funds are distributed among municipal/provincial/federal lines and how they're appropriated to city services.

All in all, a nice experience. Re-affirming. It's not very often that you meet who you've voted for, even if you do, more times than not they're sick of everyone bothering them and not interested in talking.

I can't really blame them though.

Oh well. Enough babbling.

yes. i have the same experience with Jack Layton and Olivia Chow (she is so fucking hot). They are always eating sushi at the same place as I. I feel lucky. Like rubbing arms with Ceasar.

well, that's all true. but this is your place to live for the rest of your life. the people you see, the town you're in, that's what matters. your days are gonna be pretty shitty if it doesn't matter how people treat you. eh? eh?

you know i'm right.
