The summer is continuing, in some sickly heat. The latter half of this past month has been pretty amazing! Meagan and I have been talking about looking for a new co-ed choir to join here in the city, and went through some of our old music the other day. Choirs make me feel like I am a part of something beautiful, if I don't already get that after a day with my friends or family. I know that I am, but to hear how so many voices can come together under a composer and a conductor, is something you have to try out for yourself! Aside from the choir hunt, I have been visiting alot of my past this month as well, which has been fun...i guess. I saw Kieran this past weekend with Meagan. I got a good feeling after seeing him because there were like 4 things I had really wanted to talk to him about since I last saw him. Just about the world cup, the T&T vs. England game, his family, his trip etc. We will be hanging out again soon, and I am the most thankful for that! I'm glad we can now just talk and have a chance to hang out minus the whole earth shattering sexual chemistry thing, because he's one of the coolest people I know, and its SO hard when you cant see past your hormones.
We also got our family together, and went through some of my grandpa's belongings and claimed the things that meant something before it was sold.
I want to do something before this summer ends. I was thinking about it last night. I have a weeks opportunity to either spend most of the time in Toronto, Hamilton and Guelph with a few friends, but I want to gather some people, and maybe go on a camping trip, ride our bikes out somewhere near water? Ideas? Takers?
Toronto with Calvin and his friends was WICKED, forgot to mention. I tried to post something after that weekend, but it...never...happened? The Sunday that we went, was a high quality day filled with a new scene, creative minds, good music, and good food. Calvin did cranes'n'cranes and it turned alot of heads although I dont think that was the point, but instead to come to some familiar surroundings, see some old friends and to get into his comfort zone with certain things.
He painted, we watched, then walked, then ate. Avacado salad and spring rolls ladies and gents, with some kick ass home made dressings.
Then after C man was done, we went to his old restaurant and ate some amazing thai food.
The sky was beautiful on the way back.
I took a picture of Avery, and he was drinking the sky.
I love Toronto, and road trips, YAY!
Anyways, I felt I should write something since this little guy has yet to get started.
Calvin, can I mail my cat to you in a cat carrier, and then I'll mail me over after? I will miss you :( WAIT! We still have a month ;)
Okayyy, so bye and don't forget to go see the new will movie, coming to theatres Saturday. Your gonna wanna!
bye byeee
Peace

oh...the pictures: 1) Calvin at style in progress 2) Avery drinking the sky 3) Meagan and I singing since birth
Just some images thus far.
This picture is sending large amounts of spirit our way. Take this in eh? I love how for just one second you can imagine that all these cats aren't on any drugs, or under any influence but that just joining eachother in celebrating the same thing is a good enough reason to jump around and loose your shit. I wonder what they are celebrating? Music, the rain, youth, being toghether? I guess it's left up to us!
I absoloutely love this picture. I'll try and explain it to you because it's one of those, "you have to know them" ones but it justifies these two SO WELL! So while my friend Tal stands infront of my friend Meagan, he is looking pretty captured by her. Well, he is meant to because he is on quite a daily basis. While Meagan is standing infront of Tal, she is looking like she knows what she's doing, and it's not Tal. Back to Tal, he knows this, but is relentless because he is taken back with her confident presence that lacks cockiness. See, Meagan has an excuse to be cocky with this little one if she chooses to be because he gets very touchy and flirty and sure of himself when he goes out at night, and ultimately overdoes it. Meagan sees things differently. She knows how to have fun, she's got a head on her shoulders and she looks like she holds the secrets. She's a bonafide knockout.
This picture is inspiring to me, and incredibly endearing. I found it one day online as I was searching google images to find pictures of children for an assignment at school. This just popped up along with a million others, but i was drawn to it. Something in this makes we want to burst out laughing when I see it because I see a definate sense of humour in it, but more so, I just see good people. Whoever these guys are, I'd like to link arms with them and skip, and have tickle fights and play leap frog and tag and maybe make a little fort. They look like SO MUCH FUN! I feel like I know these guys through one picture.
This picture is dedicated to Monday morning. My lovely roomate Megan and I took a long walk, stopped to get our coffee, kept walking...and walking. It was an long overdue connection to ourselves and fresh, calm mornings. What I like about this picture, is the connection between the sun and megan in her exact state that morning. The sun doesn't overpower in this picture, instead it offers a warm silhouette of her.
