Yeah, I worked on that. For the first time after university that I have had a 4-week vacation. After the road trips and parties, you start looking at the things one takes for granted. I need more of these.

Anything that approaches the speed of light. Speed is not a discrete measure, dude.

I really notice the way ppl treat eachother...
i work in the mall here in windsor at a store they has a very large consumer range...from girls and boys of about 10-12 years old up to ppl in their early to late 30s..and seeing the way some ppl treat eachother really shocks me... there are mothers and fathers coming into my store dropping hundreds of dollars ( sometime thousands!) on their kids and these little bitch ass spoiled kids are yelling and arguing with their parents the whole time..

the main reason i noticed this was one day a couple came into the store.. probably 25 years old and the girl wanted to buy a bathing suit... the whole time she was looking her boyfriend was telling her that the suits were ugly, not worth the money and that she was stupid for wanting one.. it was awful the way he was talking to her and as i'm listening i'm wondering " why is she taking this shit from him!"
she walked to the back of the store to try the suit on.. he continued with his ridicule and cruel words.. he finally said " why the hell are you gouing to get that... its said Billabong all over it.. thats going to look fucking stupid" this clearly was the last straw.. the girl walked into a change room and before she slammed the door in that assholes face she yelled " you know what? I'm GOING to buy this suit whether you like it or not.. hell i'd buy it even if it said GO FUCK YOUR MOTHER!"
my co workers and i BURST out laughing and that jerk didn't say a word for the rest of the time they were in the store.... she has since broke up with that guy as she told us a few days later when she came to buy the same bathing suit in a different colour!

i feel like i have just come out of a timewarp having lived on the vast northern manitoban plains for the last two months without any kind of technology except my cell phone which sometimes didn't even work.

having been so far removed from the kind of 'civilization' as we know it has forced me to see my life from a completely different perspective once again.

i feel like i'm actually experiencing culture shock coming back to TO.

one thing i take away from this 'backcountry' experience is

~ one for all & all for one.

the lifestyle they lead & the values they practice have left a big dent in my heart. it's all about the little things in every day life that we forget so easily about in our fast-paced environment.

i miss the vast manitoban sky that is like no other in the world, the sand that is as fine as silk (also like nowhere else in the world), the mystically breathtaking northern lights even in the summer in a night sky filled with millions and millions of stars, the sunrises i made a point of enjoying every morning at 5am ..and so much more. these are the things that made me feel alive again like i haven't felt in years.

If lions could fly, humans would have been sooo fucked. So I'm glad they don't.
