So apparently my summer will end up having some sort of substance:
August 2005
13th-17th
New York City
I got excited and thought I was going to see Azure Ray on my birthday, but I suck at reading. Might end up going to see The Offspring because they are playing at CBGBs and they were my favorite in grade six.
18th-22nd
Barron Canyon
Canoe Trip with Tara
19 portages, the longest being 730 meters
22nd-27th
Buckhorn
Cottage with my dad and company
31st-5th of September
Halifax
I'm not sure why.
cool.
Ladies and Gentlemen, set yourself on fire!
Why? You can't remember why.
Because my father is gone and your mother is dead, and all the bad guys can't wait to chop us into pieces and turn us into oil.
You may have heard the rumours that we were dead, that they'd captured us and were prepared to throw away the key but it was all lies. We come to you tonight from a jail cell in Jersey, which we shared with Bruce Springsteen's deaf half-brother and a sycophrantic whore.
You guessing, your world all sweaty ties and no more autographs please... keeping your manners together.
The golden piece waiting. Inside, the tide keeps rising, rolling out a hundred or so horse corpses; the sad, curious lament of the French horn moving in your organs like some lingering opium promise.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we know what it means to have your gods already dead in the wet mouths of republican swine.
Because you held me with those famous tangerine hands. Because everyone I love is a thief. Because we were born in unbelieving, both you & I.
We'll not live like this. They will try to bury us with false manifestos, inscribe us in wars against false enemies but we'll sing songs about dying from loving the wrong cowboy and gospel; our bodies will burn in effigies of promise. I swear.
