blargh.

I love Toronto, it's always been one of my favourite cities. People love to bash Toronto, and I'm not really sure why.  I always ask those who have negative things to say... have you been there? Have you actually spent any time there? Usually the answer is no, which leads me to believe (like voting) if you don't do it... you don't get the right to complain about it, ya know?? Anyway... today I'm wondering, Toronto, what the hell happened? It's been many years since I've lived in the city, but I'm fortunate enough to be able to travel back every year. So maybe a lot has changed that I am unaware of, but man.... this guy for mayor? Immigration, equality, public transportation, the vitality, health and well being of the biggest city in our country??? hmmm... that's pretty freakin bleak.

I'm reading Douglas Couplands new book, Player One, right now.... reading is an understatement, devouring it actually.  And in it, he wisely implies that things are going to get much much worse before they get better.  So... let's just patiently wait with our fingers crossed for the eventual moment when we seem to climb our way out of the shit hole that we appear to be marching straight into. Let's hope for that.  Read about it here.  It's fabulous.  I love it.  In particular, number 34 speaks to me.

On another note, I'm having a really shit day at work.  All around.  I hate days like today.  So... not to be complete doom and gloom.. let's add some sunshine to our lives on this bleak Tuesday.  Here are a few gems ::

Have a nice afternoon friends.
