Yesterday
Canada Day was surprisingly not as fun as last years. Only band that was interesting was Lucas's band from high school were playing. I'm not a David Usher fan and having to listen to him for 45 minutes made me not like him even more. Pat, parked at my house and we walked up. Only a 15 minute walk, less then that but they thought it was longer since they don't get out much walking. I explained reason I suggested my house for parking was because of all the Thefts for cars lately, its the safest place.
Sara's co-worker Matt joined us. met him new years eve but still don't like talking to him. Saw a co-worker from my work walk by at 8 pm he didn't say hi or anything. I was trying to convince Andrew to join us almost successful then his friends dragged him down town. Bah, but we were texting each other all day, Sara said he sounds like my boyfriend but we're just really good co-workers.
Around 3 pm a fire broke out at the halfway point to Stitsville, but one of the photos I'll post later shows that it looks like its right behind the corner of the recreational center. Luckily there were firefighters on the scene already but everyone on the hill was looking at it wondering how close it was. Sara and I walked over to the back of the building, it was a Barn that was on fire. Poor Barn.
Stupid kids were smoking weed in front of us, every time they walked by you could smell it. They were rude too wanted to smack them.
The best thing about this year and all three -four of us agreed there was an Indian family with two young kids beside us, looked like their first time in Canada, and a Canadian family was beside them, one of the moms was giving their kids glow bracelets, then she came over to the Indian family, and gave the youngest kid a bracelet. He looked down at it with the " I don't understand " reaction, and she came back saying its for the fireworks when it gets dark out, and you can keep it afterwards. He smiled and showed his mom and dad., Just seeing good gestures like that from Canadians makes me melt a bit. That was the best moment so far in my years of Canada Days at Walter Baker Park.
Everyone that I know was downtown visiting the Parliament Hill because Bare naked Ladies were preforming, and the Queen was there. Meh, She'll be back again so far I heard that it wasn't at all exciting.
Hopefully next year will be better, but 2009 celebration was still the best.
I'm home now, getting ready for work, then gonna sleep a bit.
