I wish I had the guts to actually be as strong as I know I can be. How fucking far is too far? Because every time I think I’m there, there’s still more in the distance. And all this after I promised myself I wouldn’t do this again. Continue reading Fuck this Shit

It used to be indie – now it’s…. emo? I’m obviously way behind the times, but I’ve been wondering this for a while now. Someone enlighten me… what exactly is “emo” ? Continue reading Emo?

I couldn’t possibly talk about the walk without discussing the rain factor.

I had prepared (like most walkers) for a typical Vancouver forecast – light showers off and on all day. So I had water resistant & quick-dry clothing, capri-length pants, warm-ish (but not too warm) clothing, and a hat.

Little did we all know, it would be one of the 12 days this city gets every year with torrential, painful, stay indoors at all costs rain. It was a huge part of the weekend, and gets a very loooooooong entry. I won’t be offended if you skim, or skip this entirely. But if you want an account of the horror I endured, read on.

I’m crafting some more entries about the walk – but I had to share this little tidbit…

Girls Lie Too is the title of a new song by Terri Clark (it’s good – I don’t give a damn if you don’t like Country).

I’ve posted the full lyrics in the extended entry, but there’s one line that absolutely cracks me up each and every time I hear it. It’s near the end of the song, when Terri is talking (as opposed to singing), and she says:

No, we don’t care how much hair you have
Yeah, that looks good
Comb it over like that
RRrrrrRRRrrrrRRrrr

Funny enough on it’s own – but my grandfather (wonderful man!) has the ubercombover. He could likely rival The Donald. So every time I hear that line, I think of this beautiful singer purring at my 83 year old Opa. I laugh. Out loud. Often. I think my co-workers are starting to wonder (since my music is on my headphones).

I really don’t have the energy to write about the walk all at once, so I’ll just write about different parts over the next day or two. Start: Plaza of Nations. Day 1. 35k. We took the seawall past Yaletown (I’m sure the residents weren’t all that keen on the noise we made at 7:30am) … Continue reading The Path

I did it. All of it. Now I’m going to have a bath. And die. On the off chance I don’t die, story to follow. Continue reading HOLY CRAP

I finally finished all the last minute shopping I had to do for the Weekend. The weather forecast required me to actually go out and purchase that Jacket I was thinking about, and some plastic bags to wrap everything in. And now I have to pack it all. And pray that it doesn’t weigh more … Continue reading Zonked
