I have been simultaneously busy and not so. I do a lot, while not doing much at all. So far I have been to a Toronto Marley's hockey game, the Art Gallery of Ontario, hip hop karaoke, a demonstration at Old City Hall protesting the proposed Harper 'tough on crime' legislation, the Allan Gardens, a volunteer event at a bike co-op in the making, a revolutionary themed fashion show and DJ event in Hamilton, a house party, a conference on Canada's murdered and missing women, a potluck, a dinner party, a Canadian hip-hop panel presentation at Ryerson, a drag show, the Downsview flea market, Kensington Market (a bunchotimes), St. Lawrence Market, True Grit at the Carleton, a roller derby-filled Saturday, and went rock climbing. On top of all this, I have started an exercise regiment now that the sun is starting to shine, opened a big boy bank account, have read three or so books, and have played lots of euchre as it is the official card game of Ontario. The next big city activity on the horizon is a taping of the George Strombolopolous show on April 7th featuring an interview with Woody Harrelson.
Toronto is actually proving itself to be a pretty easy place to spend a little time but I miss my friends back home and am looking forward to meeting more people. I have a lead on a job at a climbing gym which should be really fun if it pans out. I have applied to a bunch of other jobs but didn't get a single call back! Quelle surprise!
I have been considering life options with all of the free time on my hands, and seeing how hard it is to find work, I think I should get back in school and level up my education come September 2012. I think the important thing for me right now is to be around people I care about which makes Vancouver seem like an attractive destination after Toronto. I'll probably be looking for roommates in East Van for July if anyone else will be looking to get a place!
That is all my news for now. My next posting should be less DULL and more KAPOW. I just wanted to jot down the laundry list of activities recently completed while they were still fresh in my noodle factory. I'll keep my eye out for strange and comical stories to share next time.
Be good.
Love Dave
