"hi, i know, i've been lax as of late and i haven't written in a while.
mea culpa, i'm sorry.
and now i'm in canada.
i spent 7 hours in/at laguardia airport today waiting for my flight to leave.
there's no end to the fun you can have in laguardia if you have 7 hours to kill.
ok, i exaggerate. there's a definite limit to the fun you can have in laguardia
if you have 7 hours to kill.
in fact the fun runs out after about, oh, 48 seconds.
leaving you with 6 hours, 59 minutes, 12 seconds to kill in a fun-free environment.
and now i'm in toronto, which is nice because i like toronto(and canada in general).
you know a fun fact about canada that doesn't get reported too much in the media?
they have more natural resources than just about any other country on the planet.
it's going to be interesting to see how this plays out over time, especially as you have china(1 billion people)and india(around 1 billion people)with almost no natural resources.
so, if you'll forgive my dilletantish lesson on the basics of supply and demand, canada has a lot of natural resources at a time when the rest of the world needs natural resources.
this will probably lead to canada becoming one of the wealthiest countries on the planet(just look at norway and their oil reserves and insanely high gdp), especially as the population of canada are healthy and relatively sane and well educated(well educated and healthy people tend to be better at creating wealth than poorly educated and unhealthy people, just compare luxembourg
to haiti).
maybe the 21st century will end up being the pax canada century.
pax canada seems pretty appealing, actually, especially when compared
to the alternatives.
eh, i'm just rambling on after spending 7 hours in the laguardia airport/refugee camp.
in other news, i'm dj'ing in toronto on friday and montreal on saturday." |
Which he then had to say...

thanks to everyone in toronto who came out tonight.
sorry if that sounds anonymous and/or generic.
but really, tonight was fantastic and fun.
so, thanks.
hopefully the snow will abate and i'll be able to go to montreal
and dj on saturday.
if the planes don't fly we'll take the train.
if the train doesn't go we'll take the dogsled.
if the dogsled doesn't go we'll take the otters.
and so on.
moby
Lol dogsleds... God bless Canada
