sorry guys my photoblog is down right now. i’ll get it up and running asap promise!

drove on the wrong side of the road again tonight. i’m gonna get myself killed pretty soon. had the same problem in richmond. the problem with these certain places is theres not enough cars already on the road. empty roads i automatically drive on the left. its a curse i say…

Today was a good day. I drove to Vancouver for an interesting business deal. let me rewind and explain. a few nights ago i was babysitting my little brothers. the phone rang and asked for my father. after explaining to them that i didn’t live here the guy then responded "ah well i’ll talk to u." i was then asked a few questions regarding my work and my opinions towards the environment. i was then told that if i were to go to vancouver by 4pm at a certain address and discussed my opinions towards the environment i would then be given $75 cash. well i’m home now with an envelope of 75 bucks in it.

after driving back i decided i would explore the town. it doesn’t matter where i go in this world. i am always a tourist. i visited the botanical gardens off of oak st. then headed to richmond to see the sunset in Steveston. Steveston holds many memories for me. I try and visit there often. i then managed to get myself properly lost in delta. driving along river road. hit the bird sanctuary but only for a minute before i headed home. good day with much to profit from. in both sense…

From Where I’m Standing
Schuyler Fisk (listen to it @ the end of this post)

From where I’m standing
You’re the quiet side of the road
You’re looking so lonely
And i can’t stop looking at you
Your head is hanging
Trying to beat those goodbye blues
I bet you’ll be fine
I bet you’ll be fine

CHORUS:
I guess it’s not the way
You always planned it
Looks like you’re heading for a
Crash landing
That’s just the way it looks
From where I’m standing
From where I’m standing

From where i’m standing
I think I caught your eye
Are you looking at me
Cause I swear I saw you smile
And I’m coming over
Gonna take things off your mind
And I bet you’ll be fine
and I bet you’ll be fine

CHORUS

From where I’m standing
Let it fall
Let it come down
Let it crash around you

I guess it’s not the way
You always planned it
Looks like you’re heading for a
Crash landing
That’s just the way it looks
From where I’m standing
From where I’m standing
I might make you mine
I might make you mine
From where I’m standing

This is what you call great music! If she comes around this way I will probably go to her concert. the video is off of "Reed Fish" the movie.

a friend of mine asked me a very real question today. for years he’s battled with polio. he’s seen alot of heartache. and when he was 8 he was his best friend die in the bed beside him due to the same disease. after his friend died the family refused to talk to him for they reminded them of their son. his parents have dealt with alot over the years. the pain he felt. it was sad. you could see it all on his face.

his question was "how could God give him and his family so much pain?" he also said "how could God like plan it that way." after a bit of discussion someone said "God doesn’t plan on this kind of stuff. we have to understand that we live in a sinful world." another said "God doesn’t give you more than you can stand. and alot of people could never deal with having a sick child but God knew ur parents could handle it. God never gives you more than you can handle." and my friend was like "yeah man but it doesn’t stop the hurt. sure it can be a blessing in disguise and sure my parents handled it but it was messed up man."

how do you answer that? and furthermore what about the people in this world that commit suicide. obviously they were given more than they could handle so did God screw up there with them? we all know the verse

1 Corinthians 10:13 "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."

i’m not one to push scriptures on anyone. and most people that know me well know its odd that i’m even quoting but yeah. tough questions from real people…

question…which should i pay off first? the national student loan or the provinical?

the rules…

1. Open your library (itunes, winamp, media player, ipod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. Every question, type the song that’s playing
5. New question, press the next button
6. Don’t lie and try to pretend you’re cool…

Romance these days seems to always come with a price. one needs a broken heart for it is what makes us moral in the end. money has shown to be in the romantic film industry. we want to gain knowledge of this thing called "love" even if its from a romantic- hollywood- masked- love- story! its the blind leading the blind. when will we realize that it will soon end in disaster? I don’t mean to be cynical. i’m just frightened for i don’t see the otherside and in a way i’m looking for some assurance.

i haven’t wrote in awhile and yes i do feel guilty. I’ve been traveling quite a bit lately currently i am writing to u from australia. i left guyana near the beginning of january. headed north to florida for a bit. hit atlanta. then i wrote my exam. and traveled first to korea. i have to admit korea isn’t as inviting as i expected it to be. then singapore was next. (man the stuff there is so cheap) btw the entertainment system was awesome on the plane. i got to play supermario then i headed for australia. so now i’ve been here for a bit. i’m actually staying with a really nice family. next week rob’s gonna teach me to surf if we get more waves here. other than that, thats the update
