I carry my towel with me wherever I go because life's a beach(,mon)
YEAR END ENTRY? Don't mind if I do.
Even though I feel as though I grew a bit stagnant this year, especially towards its end, I managed to see some pretty good/interesting things. Some of the things that come to mind are as follows:
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, USA
We ate one of the best meals I have ever had in my life at Green Zebra, saw a lot of cool neighbourhoods that I wouldn't mind living in, and at the zoo I saw a monkey poop into his hand, smell it and then wipe his hand slowly on the rock in front of him. How could anything be so filthy and adorable at the same time? What a city! The galleries that we went to were also really good. Wolfgang Tillmans'exhibition at the MCA was particularly amazing, however I lack the appropriate cultural vocabulary to comment further! It was just really good, is all.
ALFONSO RIBIERO
He was hosting a celebrity golf tournament that I was working at and I was able to clap eyes on him a few times through the kitchen doors, and then after work while he was flirting with waitresses at the bar. Patrick (Jamaican accent, please) said: "oh my god, he got so fat now from the time when he was on Fresh Prince. No wonder his wife kicked him out! SPLASH!" He doesn't look so bad, though. I wish him all the best.
DEAD HOMING PIGEON ON FRONT DOORSTEP
The bird looked like this, but was fatter, and also dead. My little friend had a band with a tracking code on his leg that, with the help of the internet, allowed me to trace his origins to a division of the Canadian Racing Pigeon Union in North York, Ontario, and this particular pigeon was a Turkish Tumbler. I wrote an email to a secretary at the CRPU to tell her that I found her little bird - dead and planted upside-down and head-first in our front garden. She wanted information from the other side of his band, but by then my dad had already put the pigeon in a Longos bag and tossed him to the curb! I was bored of this rotting corpse by then anyway, so I didn't return the secretary's email and carried about my business as usual.
PORT PERRY, ONTARIO
This summer Darryl and I had some business to attend to there, or something. It was a nice day trip. We saw a man with a huge belly and his family swimming at the beach. I found an ad in the local paper advertising a fully furnished cottage for $3000 dollars that I briefly considered buying. I have no car, or way of getting to this property, so I nixed that idea. Nice place. Quaint!
GRAHAM GREENE AT PETSMART
He was at the cash and I was 3 people behind him. I couldn't see what he was buying because of the greasy jerk buying fish pellets in front of me. Anyway, I like to think he was buying dog food and that maybe he has a nice German Shepherd or something.
More stuff than that happened this year, and those are not really highlights so much as they are just things. It is more exciting to think about next year and how it will hopefully be better than this one. Not that I am complaining.
