The Blog of Solomon: July 2008

Well. I guess I should start out by wishing everyone a happy Canada Day, although I have to say that as a Canadian overt displays of patriotism make me feel kinda... Uh... I dunno, unpatriotic? Uncomfortable at the very least. Still, it should probably be said. I think I blogged last year on Canada Day and said nothing about it except to whinge about Stephen Harper which, when you get right down to it, is probably one of the great unifying factors of our nation. That and complaining about Toronto. In any case, got other stuff to go on about now so I guess I'm done with the whole Canada thing. I finished school last week with the second highest portfolio grade in the class, missed top spot by .5%. Maybe I should have put more effort into it. But still, when all is said and done I think my portfolio was the most creative and original in the class so I'm not too worried about it. Now to find a job... I moved back home on Saturday, which was traumatic to say the least. I fit everything in my little blue civic except my bike (thank you Kim and Paul for the loan of garage space for that one) and my old snowboard boots, which I just plain forgot. My car was so full I couldn't see out any windows except the front one, although things seemed to settle a bit as I drove along. I really didn't want to leave Comox, and I'm having a hard time geting back into the swing of things here in Deroche. Guess I'm just gonna have to find work and quit feeling sorry for myself. Still first chance I get, I'm moving back to the island... I'm gonna try to go there for the winter just so I can snowboard, although as is the case with most of my plans, that'll probably fall through. Still, you gotta follow your dreams, right? Or maybe you gotta pay your bills... Can't remember which it is. In any case. Thought I'd post a few random videos and photos from my last Tofino trip, just for the sake of interest. I'll start with Mr Yellow Sexy Boots. I put this on youtube last night, with the tags BC, Boots and Tofino and it's already been commented on by some random stranger. Which really makes me wonder how the hell they found it in the first place. In any case... I'll shut up now.
