Upcoming Trip to TO

Well about 2 months ago my dad suggested to me that I could tag along to Toronto with him on a business trip of his for my birthday present. See a basketball game and stuff like that. I was pretty happy about it. But have only gotten happier since... I get to see Sarah Slean perform a short set at the ONE BIG NO peace concert, also get to see Sarah Harmer play a short set there as well. As if that wasn't enough, I scored tickets to see Ms Harmer AGAIN the following night at Hugh's room with all proceeds going to help Iraqi children, a wonderful cause. So now I get to see 2 of my few favorite artists perform (Harmer for the first time!) and see a Raptors game on top of all that. I'm pretty damn excited. Oh yah I'm flying there, I don't fly much and I love it! Can't wait heh heh...

The War

I've decided to hold my opinions about the war. What I say can do no good whatsoever.

Freedom Fries...Freedom Toast... WHAT THE FUCK!

Sarah Slean (not exact words, i'm not a journalist) "I can picture little George Bush, around 5 years old, with his little red plastic cowboy hat and fake pistols in each hand screaming "I gotta find me something to kill" at the top of his lungs."

Singin songs of work and worth

Wonderful, and without a doubt best concert i've been too. Well maybe a tie with Sarah. Wonderful is all I can say about it. Such a great storyteller, and a very nice man (met him briefly after the show). He was quite surprised a 19 year old guy was such a fan I think, asking how I heard about him and such things. Was an amazing night. Got to share it with my girl as well, couldn't ask for more than that.

Bus Ride

Waiting on the corner with a smoke in my hand
thinkin bout the war and my favorite band
Bus pulls up, I hop on, sit in a seat, put my headphones on
Thinking of green fields and the shinin sun, never realizin
winters not done/ Close my eyes, run to a place, where
everybody knows my face...
on the bus
I don't feel the same as I did
when I awoke today, oh yeah
on the bus
I lose my mind
I'm someone else
somewhere far away

Sidewalks of Life

I believe in fate
I beileve there is a path
Some are paved with gold
Mines a bumpy road
You know what?
I'm gunna pave it
and give it sidewalks and crosswalks
so you can feel safe
walking my path
I feel sorry for bringing you through that bumpy path
but I promise it will only get better

the Queen Nightbug herself comes to town

One full day has passed since that wondrous night that Sarah Slean took to stage in St. John's. I can't stop thinking about it. It was a night of bliss. I got a chance to meet her before the show (and after), and even though I was probably all googley eyed, she was so so kind, so sweet, so adorable. After the second show (played back to back) I approached her to thank her for one of the most wonderful nights of my life. She put on her big smile touched my shoulder and said "Thank you so much". I felt like Martin, in one of her stories.

If you ever get a chance to see her play, do so. I'm sure she is the best musician of my time and a wonderful performer. It was a dream to see her play, a recurring dream that I have again. Thank you Sarah.
