for those of you who have seen the video "The real toronto" this passage will make a little bit of sense, it's just some dudes walking around all the "hoods" of downtown toronto and showing off all their guns and how bad they are, some sketchy freestylin breaks up the different locals and to tell you the truth its a really sad look into the lives and ideals of "da hood" mentality, cash rules everythin around me cream get tha money dollar dollar bill y'allllllll

enjoyin a quiet sunday off, made some food read the paper had a coffee hmmm just need some spliff to cap of the day.....
well I now have a day off everyweek, we hired a realy experienced chef at work and he's taking over my station and I become the tournant..which means I do all the stations and change daily which is cool cuz the chances ofgetting bored are slim to none....

other than that not a whole lot going on... Greg Haley may move inthis week, we have a basement that isnt being used but it's kinda small for a place to live but I think he just wants somewhere to crash for the moment in T.O and any space will accomadate him at the moment...

I think the whole reason the whole social thing was bothering me is cuz i was used to traveling and having something to do all the time wether it was just walking around town or having a drink with someone that you met that day, life in Toronto really isnt that bad and I have a blast ona daily basis at owrk, I think I was just in a shitty mood, it happens

well I'm totally starting to miss a social life, I've been working at the restaurant six days a week for the last few and have learned that finally starting this week I've got a day off!!! So now I'm just waiting for a tsunami, or earthquake, or hurricane to devistate toronto on my day of rest because someone up there likes to think that days of rest are restricted to those with actual nine to five gigs.... something that I've almost never had, maybe it's time to go back to school and become an accountant or a fucking paper pusher and sit behind a desk all day, let my ass get fat and have high blood pressure from the steady diet of nicotine and cafeine that It would take just to stay awake all day...... hmm fuck it I'm going to just keep cooking, it's the only way I will stay sane

it's funny I tend to forget about the entire internet now that I dont have my own computer and cafes arent so accesible....;

Well I started work a couple weeks ago at Mistura Ristorante at Bay and Davenport just north of Yorkvill and so far sooo good. The food is wicked, it's a beautiful restaurant and the stress level is minimal, but I've always got something intersting to do, I'm on the grill station and deal with all the butchery of all fish and meat that comes in so I've learned some cool things over the past week although it is starting to get almost too easy at this point.....

Hmm other than that fuck all going on, just still trying to get in contact with all the people who I've lost touch with over the last year.... and now that I'm working again my social time has been extremely limited, I'm doing six days a week right now and I fdont see it slowing down any time soon, which I guess is cool with me at the mometn, I desperately need the money and the work is fun and the people are absolutely the best so hey, why mess with a good thing!

Am missing the traveling lifestyle though, and really I'm already starting to plan my next trip which is sorta wierd but hey it's a long way away and this time at least I know what I'm \getting myselfinto. Take it eazy people! If you havnt heard from me in a while it's because I've been stuck in a hot kitchen six days a week for the last little while, hope to meet up soon yall take it easy

so here I am back in the good old T.O...

after a much maligned (hmmm I think that makes sense) plane ride where I was incapable of sleeping for more then two hours during transit I arrived home at a very very bustling and busy pearson airport.. Nick was nice enough to rock up and give me a lift and instead of heading home and crashing which I probably should have done we ended up headed to queen west and meeting Hak, Mikey, and Fay at Mikeys gig that night.... Missed him play which sucks but it was cool hanging out with the guys again...needles to say beer was drunk and Hak and I ended up chillin on Mikeys porch until 7 or so in the morn.....then we rode our bikes back to his/our place...(it was my first night there so it's a little strange still to call it home at the moment)....all in all a good return back to toronto...

My last night in Melbourne was pretty cool as well.....Andrew, Trist, Mozzy and company had some people over to there house for a little spur of the moment get together......we had a couple of laughs and drank some beer and damn...Mozzie is a fucking funny dude....he wanted to start a "bring back Tom Bate to North Melbourne petition" and was trying to get everyone going for the party as well as working on the "ratio" most of the night (guys to girls that is)...... after a few sad goodbyes I headed back to the hostel where i read and sat in the lounge until 4 in the morn....got my shit together....caught a cab to spencer station and then hit the airport....so I think I didnt sleep for a few nights in a row there....still feeling the effects my second day back although I slept through most of the first one....and damn its fucking 30 degrees here, in september what the hell is that?????

Just hanging downtown today, had to call the airport cuz they left my guitar/knives in hongkong dumbasses... so there sending it to me hopefully tomorrow....

Anyways, I'm hopefull for the months to come, will start looking for work in a couple of days, or maybe bext week....I'm in no urush though....

It's kinda fucked being here though, but chillin with the guys the other night made me realize that I could be away for ten years and come back and everything would be the same with my friends, I think that's the beauty of our relationships, no matter what changes in our lives we can always be comforted in the fact that we've got a constant with each other......sniff sniff, I think my eyes are starting to water..

Anyways folks, take it eaze
