I say innocence. As black as pitch, my lord.
I went to see Dungen tonight at Richard's on Richard's. The Precious Fathers opened for them. Precious Fathers are from here in Vancouver. Dungen are from Sweden. It was odd because it could easily have been the other way around. The Vancouver band looked more Swedish to me that Dungen. Ah well. As soon as Dungen introduced themselves it was clear I was mistaken. The frontman says in heavily accented English "I hope you are good. This is Fiske, Bjorling, Stellen and I am Ejstes. Thank you." A little bit on the Swedish side.
Maybe I'm getting old but I have a lot of trouble dealing with people who talk through the songs. We had a bunch of them tonight. I saw the lovely and talented Sara Masi there with her man Matt. Some people hate seeing lovely couples. I love it. Means there's hope for the rest of us.
I played a pool tournament with my brother this afternoon. Best of five. I lost the first two, the second by scratching on the 8. I won the next two and we got down to the 8 on the third game. Brodie won. He takes the Superman ring home this week and we'll play again next weekend. This is the continuation of a tradition that my father started and my brother and I are continuing since his death a couple of months ago. My brother told me fun bouncer stories and we caught up on the week's activities.
It's been a good weekend.
Tomorrow I start calling various organizations and agencies to let them know that I will have a new address at the end of the month which is a whole six days away. I also start collecting boxes and start packing. It's going to be a fun week and a climactic finish.
I came home tonight to find someone sleeping beside the doorway and a bunch of streetkids sitting and talking on the steps of the little video store in my complex. I'm not complaining, really. Nobody gave me any trouble. All I'm saying is that I paying too much for that kind of 'atmosphere'. I reiterate, I have no trouble with it. I'm just saying that I'm living in a loft on Seymour and I'm looking forward to not living in a loft on Seymour, that's all.
I'm looking forward to a little Georgia and Bute. Further away from work but I think it'll start a new chapter of goodness in my life.
Whoever you are who is reading this, thank you. I wish you the best of luck. I have so much love for you in my heart as I write this. It's yours. Take it to make your day a little easier and warmer.
