dance like everybody is watching and you don't give a shit what they think.

last weekend was the pride parade here in vancouver and it was pretty crazy to see...it was great to be a part of something where everybody sort of forgot about any problem they were having for a few hours and just had a great time...there was no judgment or prejudice amongst the crowd (atleast that i saw) which was made of all sorts of different people...it really made me feel good to be a part of that crowd...there were certainly some sights to see and i had a blast...not to mention carol and leanne put together an amazing brunch before hand...i was in heaven with all the breath taking breakfast foods...plus i got a comment on my hair, which i was so stunned by i didn't even know what to say...it was weird...must have been the rope headband that did it....perhaps i can figure out how to post a few pics...let me try
well that was a little tedious, but there are a few...it was a great time and the girls that made it great.

have been running, and that is about it...my pass to the pool ran out and i am not in a financial position right now to renew and to be honest i am having too much fun running...yesterday on my run i was thinking about how perfect running is to me...there is nothing to worry about when you are out on a run, especially if you have a series of notes collected together banged around in your ears...with swimming, you gotta worry about other people in the pool, the wall, and even getting to the pool...biking, well gotta watch the tires or they could pop, there is traffic and bumpy roads...but with running, i jus throw on the old shoes and i am instantly beamed away from normal existenance and get to participate in the creation of a euphoric cloud of greatness...in the moment last night, i just felt nothing could really compete with this, nothing can really compare...with running, it gives you back everything you put into it...it surrounds you with a blanket of pain and woven into the blanket of tiny fabrics of ecstacy...but the best part is that thost tiny fabrics are not accessable without the pain...you must endure, if you are to reap witch makes it truely beautiful...perhaps this is the reason i have failed at all my meaningful relationships...because from what i hear and what i have learned, love should be number one on the list of 'perfect' things in life...maybe it has never reached number 1 for me which ultimately leads to it failing...in any sense, my love life with running is as strong as ever and i can't see it ever diminishing.

now i just gotta get the body back into top form and things will start to work out...i will keep you posted on any schdule i created...right now i am just running and don't have any races in mind, but will start looking soon...i don't get many comments on this blog, hell i don't even know if anybody reads it...but tell me what you think of running and if you love it like i do.

anybody who knows me, knows i love music...and also knows i love the band brand new...their new cd drops next month and i couldn't be more happy...when i find a cd (whether it be by a band i know or don't) that i really love its like i have won the lottery...my mood in every aspect of life is greatly increased and i am most likely more production as a whole...i am counting down the days...on monday steph, chandra and i went to sam roberts...it was at deer lake park which is an outdoor venue and it was some of the most fun i have had in a really long time...we were dancing like we owned the place, like we had taught michael jackson all his moves...and we didn't care what we looked like...as steph said 'we were like the people you see at concert and you bet your buddy to dance with them for 5 bucks'...it was fun being those people.
