my thoughts so sublime could never do you justice in reason and rhyme

About Me

oh, hi! i didn't see you there. let me put my book down. ahhh, lovely night for a blind coffee date, no? well, let's see. i grew up in small town canada, and moved to the big city kelowna. my ass shakes it at least once a day to any particular bumpin' jam. i pride myself on cleaning up the house once a week, and then making it filthy in three days. i play bass clarinet in a band with two lovely boys called graham and jeff. in my spare time i like to sell daniel o'donnell albums to cute old ladies. my favorite day of the week is christmas. i like to keep my room simple and simply sleep on the simple solid sloor. i am agnostic, but interested in buddhist ideas, like perching a bucket of green goop atop a barely cracked door. i like getting tattoos and plan on having a cartoon octopus dressed as a pirate, shooting a bunch of guns (that's a truthful thought). my cd and record buying habit is my biggest consumer vice. i love all animals of the world and share my cool roommate mike's cat with my cool roommate mike. i cried when i heard that june callwood died, even though i'd only ever heard of her a few weeks prior by way of an inspiring george stroumboulopoulos interview. i shave my legs, but only in the summertime when no one can see them. i love my parents even when they fight, which is whenever my dad's driving. my brother, sister and i live in three different states; b.c., alberta and ontario. and well, to wrap it up... bye!

The song lyrics I'm searching for are in vain

This is the first blog I've written in eight months. What does that mean? I don't have a journal, and "blogs" are the closest thing I've used to them. I guess this means that I don't often write sh...
