These quotations have been DEEPLY embedded into my brain from hours on end of Civilizaiton. —————————Or, the text version—————————Oh Farmers, pray that your summers be wet and your winters clear. – Virgil Blessed shall be the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. – The Bible Deut [...]

Seth Godin talks about Dips, I’ve been thinking about humps — There are humps we always come across in life, and we make concious efforts to get over the humps, or let them control us — Two things happen when we don’t try to excel 1) we become complacent, or 2) We know exactly what [...]

Lawrence says it best: Lawrenceo89 has made a comment on David Byrne Toronto 10/29/2008 Massey Hall – 78:I’ve got to say, this wasn’t just one of the best concerts I’ve seen, the audience was great too. We went absolutely nuts after every single song! It was fantastic, a night that comes by Once in a [...]

Listening to Josh Ritter for me is listening to an individual who’s transcended the existential debate. 14 years of perfect attendance in church and religious doctrine won’t wash Jesus out of my soul, and it doesn’t seem to be washing away from Ritter either. What I’ve come to understand is an arrangement between pragmatism and [...]

So many references to The Matrix, have it be your job, family, friends, life — How many Neo’s are there actually in the world? I suppose people pay attention more than I give them credit for, but when you roll around in a big city, you can’t help be being consumed by the mass populous. [...]

Eating Mexican food in Canada, CHECK.

The Trampoline Hall Lectures, A brilliant mix of speakers, one music hipster, one that spoke of trash, and one [...]

Train tracks — picture doesn’t do it justice – The CN tower has a ‘glass bottom’ that’ll scare the bejesus out of you if you let it. Panoramic view (you), look I’ll make it all manageable Highest observation deck in the world — it certainly was higher than anything I’ve ever seen — even though [...]

Yesterday, an Indian buffet, one with chilies that would make the best of em’ sweat A city full of parks, and black squirrels, there is even a legendary albino squirrel too. The Dakota Tavern, mimics The Continental Club in Austin Kensington Market, Inside Graffiti’s Bar, I would have to say Toronto’s one in a million [...]

Every time I look at a high place, Curtain Calls by the Old 97′s come to mind — I recall rolling around Berlin and having the BEST time with this album. That time I was heading to Alexanderplatz (which for some reason I think is a focal point in my universe) with a currywurst in [...]

A brisk walk around Toronto yesterday, mp3 player on shuffle, thoughts swirling around in the head, its like you’re in your own little music video at times. How would I describe Toronto? Take NYC, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle, shake them up in a jar, condense them into a 4 mile by 4 mile radius, [...]
