Just got a message from Tangie my belovedly cool sister-in-law,
that their new baby Kennedy has a dimple.
Now if anyone else in my family can top the 1..2...and yes 3 that I have, well then thats just pure perfection i'm telling you.
My brother and sister have them as well, but my parents do not.
We are all from a flock of storks didnt you know. Or Ricardo the dancer, as my mom was a showgirl back in the 70's.
An old chinese man once told me that to even have one dimple is just a super lucky thing. So with three you think I would have hit the multi-million dollar jackpot by now and be driving city to city in my very own circus tour starring the infamous carnies themselves:
Louis, Larry, Quincy, Knuckles O'callahaghn and
Maclean The-Albino-Scottish-Dancing-Bear.
However, there IS still time.
Or if you never hear about the above mentioned bear maybe I got distracted training my 70 heroine-addicted clowns to get into a VW painted like Herby-The-Love-Bug.
And well possibly you may never hear from me again.
Maybe in fact you are indeed the lucky one.
And possibly, with that loot, I COULD then buy Alberta and rename it PATTATISTA.
Dreaming of Knuckles and Louis and their poodle act as we speak, I am now researching mid-sized purebred dogs to suggest for Dave to get for his parents since he asked me. As his mom ran-over Mr.E.
I can't wait to have a big enough backyard to get my Airedale Terrier. The Siamese cat's are covered. Now I just need the yard.
Verdun just isnt cutting it. There isnt enough room to train the clowns.
As fate would have it, I just got a call from Concordia University telling me that I MADE the summer semester class. So that is one class closer to my dream.
FYI: 61% of Canadians voted last night. I wonder what would have happened if it were in fact legally mandatory to vote such as in Australia. I liked questioning my friends as to their choice. Made them give me three reasons why.
It was entertaining here are some of the responses:
1) I like the idea of the death penalty. (From my brother!)
2) I like the PC's! (Progressive who?)
3) Who is Martin?
4) I like missile defence!
5) There is an election?
*Gerry, enjoy your and Matt Good's birthday bash in Banff. Tell him to come back to Montreal if you get the drunken chance.
Enjoy the sun comrades.

MR. E
THIS IS A SMALL TRIBUTE TO MR. E THE CAT:
Yesterday it was Dave's Mom's birthday, and on her way out to celebrate
she ran over the family cat! They raced to the Vet to save the old cat but he didn't pull through. So I am sad for the loss of a good snuggly little friend of the Crowe's. He liked to knead my legs and purr. He was great.
My parents cat Finnegan died as mentioned previously, so I hope that they are together too.
Life is precious. Be safe.

JUNE 28TH, 1997
On this day seven years ago, I met my friend David Crowe for the first time.
I was in Ottawa with Chris as it was around Canada Day, and we headed over to visit Dave and Morgan (and company) to celebrate.
I thought this was indeed an intelligent and crazy group of people.
On this day we all watched Mike Tyson snack on an ear as we drank a whole lotta beer. I think it is great to have friends like this in your life. Try to hang onto them. So today I am quite happy.
Yesterday I spent the day with Rosy as it was her last Sunday afternoon in Montreal. It was great, the sun was out we went to Winnies and had a nice lunch, and two pitchers of SANGRIA!
We spoke about life in Montreal and how things have changed for the both of us regarding work, men/boys, friendships gained and lost, and also the future.
I am excited to see where I will be in a year. As just a short year ago I was on the same terrace having lunch with my dad. Enough marachino cherries later, we then stumbled off to get something for my niece Kennedy.
And saw the movie Dodgeball to make us laugh, yet it was so entirely bad I almost left. We did have a good time yesterday and that was all that mattered anyway.
The future is X-rated as Matt Good would say, but I say that the future is whatever you make it out to be. Good and or Bad. I hope you vote tonight as this IS part of your future too, remember this.

FETE NATIONALE.
http://www.fetenationale.qc.ca
Oui, ou Non?
How come there isn't a Sainte Patricia day.
Well ok, I do celebrate St. Patti's day.
damn, just kicked myself in the ass with that one.
And I suppose I have my birthday on JULY 26TH.
But that isn't a national day where I can get you out of work to drink now is it?
Ok ok, so I have to try a little harder to convince Paul Martin. But you know he has a hidden agenda and has gotta do it sooner or later, why wouldn't he? He is a very Liberal sorta fellow. And he just gave 47 million to Dubyah, so why wouldn't he pull for a day off to a pretty girl like me? Did I just say pretty?
I meant FABULOUS!
pour la fete nationale du quebec,
I get to celebrate sleeping in and doing laundry and dusting!
Oh and also wearing my pajamas all day.
WHY? because I just can TABERNAC!
Due to some sort of provincial seperatist holiday all I know is that I get today off and this is right before a Friday according to my calendar.
So what's an English Montrealer, to do on a Thursday? When I cannot:
a) drink
b) stay out late
c) get a hangover
d) sleep in
e) go out of town to some exclusive resort in Macau
f) get married to an exotic dancer in Vegas
g) drink
h) go to Tiffany's
I) go to birk's
J) eat Mr. Freeze, oh I CAN do that.
So instead of the above listed,
I sifted through some old photo albums today, scanned a few gems.
I found a rare picture of when I met GOWAN at a FETE NATIONALE concert in '98.
Nothin' says provincial pride like a free GOWAN concert.
I also found some old pictures of me camping at The Crowe's Nest.
We all used to go there every summer as this was Dave's grandparents' old cottage in The Thousand Islands region of Ontario. It was always a weekend to remember. That is IF you could actually remember anything.
So I sent those old pictures over to Dave, who is now officially: 'My Lawyer'.
Ah misc camping pics, I smiled as life was so simple back then. Well ok actually it wasn't. I was fighting off a 2kegs-of-beer-weekend-marathon, and well, I was still with Chris my boyfriend of 5 1/2 years.
Ok, so life was different then, I suppose it just looked simple as that was before all of us ran off and got mature and married.
I have been talking to Dave lately, I think its because we have a lot of similarities due to the fact he was with his girlfriend Stephanie for 7 years and is now also single.
My brother just had his baby and now Dave's brother's are both also married and having children. Sometimes there is a great silence as we both reflect on this topic together. It is also great to have someone to relate to 100%. It is often hard to find someone to relate to in life. I am blessed by the friendships that I do have as Montreal is quite a cold & shallow place.
But Dave and I, were always with someone, for years on end. And now we face all of our friends getting married and we were the only two in bigtime serious relationships throughtout The Crowe's Nest past of wild beer havoc.
I also find it interesting that I am happier than I have ever been and totally alone.
Maybe that was all it ever took to make me smile = Guinness. No wait, this solitude.
I am happy for my brother and his wife.
Dave says that because I am taking graphic design courses and should save my money, he is going to become my surrogate family this xmas. At least his family has crackers and wear the same funny colored hats like we do in Edmonton.
But I am still undecided over xmas at this point. I will go home on a weekend seat sale. Not sure when, but that is the plan. My brother wont let me come home as it is a bad financial move during xmas. I agree on this also for the fact that I haven't even received a single phonecall from the family that I do pay THRU-THE-TEETH to see every year. Maybe on my birthday if I am lucky I will get a call or two?
Is it just me that heard this CRAZY rumor about long distance calling being expensive or something at .10 cents per minute??? Wow that's certainly a lot!
I guess I can also add that I speak to my lawyer for 7hours at a time.
You do the math and he splits the next bill!
But I am however, thankful for the offering of Crowe Turkey and colored tissue hats.
Thank you for being there for me. I think Dave just wants a blonde ninja at his dinner table to take the spotlight off of all the married with baby bliss!
Next weekend, I can't wait to go to Toronto to see my friend Rosy smile. She is finally getting out of this party town. Magalie is also joining us! It will be Mag's birthday weekend, so we have to treat her to THE KEG MANSION. After seeing Peter's FRINGE comedy show. Rosy gets to face a new town.
She has a boyfriend in Boston, but is looking forward to scoop up the best Torontonian Indian man available. Bruins suck anyway and she wants to get married.
I got an e-mail today from my friend Steph who now lives in England. She just got engaged this past Sunday. I am happy for her. She is a good example of living life the way you have always dreamt it to be. She lost over 80lbs, left Toronto to visit Australia for a few months, packed her bags moved to England, met an amazing boyfriend and now two years later, engaged. She is SO happy. This makes me super excited to hear as I knew her best when she was her old self back in Toronto and very very unhappy.
Now I just hope I can get to England!
Mike and Tangie are back home with Kennedy, proud of their new daughter!
I hope Jalen loves his new baby sister!
I am proud that I can now do push-ups on my knuckles, ok and the fact that I am in Montreal on my own.
We all have our dreams and our ambition.
And I am still in pj's

Things Matt Good would like you to know about West Edmonton Mall:
1) They should take the "fantasy" out of Fantasy Land Hotel.
2) In the "Worlds largest Mall" there is only one computer store and one Internet cafe.
3) Tomorrow Matt hopes to get to an Internet connection; we understand that Grand Prairie Has a LARGE abundance of cyber kiosks.

Law & resistance
All I remember is the capital "R" written on the top of a PITCHER of guinness I swear.
Look I am here, so I pulled it off.
I survived the weekend of taking Rosy out. One more to go!
And now I am now going to Toronto with her to help her move,
And I am going to see my Lawyer and introduce them.
Rosy needs someone to frequent the T.O. scene with. What better person than Dave my lawyer?
I will also have to see Peter 'the actor' from Edmonton who lives there too. He can drink more than what would seem fit for normal human consumption. Trust me on that.
Yet Dave did pull off Two kegs one summer.
So I am scared to get together as it will be a hellbent weekend indeed.
And Yes I was sick yesterday. I am gettin old. 27 this year. One month away. I think I will go to Toronto for that as well. Why not.
So Gerry I missed you taking care of me with the whole noodle soup bit.
My bro and sis both got their birthday gifts I hope they liked them.
I am enjoying the Kung Fu, its great.
Brown belt in November, I cant wait to train.
oh and my current iTunes from a coworker has SPICE GIRLS AND! NKOTB!
what is more entertaining than that?!?!?

Doing what's right
Roseleen. aka: Rosy.
Like I said previously, is moving to Toronto.
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to work.
Despite the sad loss of another friend to Toronto, I am happy for her and proud to be her best Canadian friend.
It's Friday at last and according to the mblog, Matt Good is in Manitoba tonight, so it doesn't look like we are going to be seeing him anytime soon in la belle province.
He was sick and had to cancel the Montreal show. He then flew back home to repair. And is now back on tour. I am glad that Rosy and I had rented that big blasted American car and drove up north to see him. Too bad about the poor sound quality/dead vocal monitors. It was a hefty price to pay but worth every single rusty dime as it was an amazingly small venue. I thought it was odd that he would play two concerts two weeks apart anyway. And besides, he can't rant in French.
Anyway I was just saddened to see him make it further away from the dreaded smoggy east and closer to home. Sometime you gotta do what you gotta do to sing.
As I write I see and hear two new potential candidates for the apartments above AND beside me. They are both French. But as for the Guy, lets just call him "GUY" en francais, bien sur. Dit moi, what IS the deal avec male Quebecers and their riced-out Honda civics? I heard about a show on MTV called: "pimp my ride" I think that's what the name of it was. I failed to remember all details due to the fact that I couldn't believe the disgust of the human race at this point.
Guy. No matter what sort of cash you pour into this, it's STILL a civic at the end of the day. The other day I saw a riced-out NEON! COME ON! With that money people, you could actually do some GOOD for the world. But funny how we all still oooh and aww at them and pay THRU THE TEETH for monster truck shows down at THE BIG O.
SO I was quietly eating lunch at my eMAC reading www.amenesty.ca while the coworkers glowed about this show they saw. I repeat, I on the otherhand, was looking up AI offices in Montreal to go volunteer at. Who is the loser? I am really not sure anymore. Sometimes you gotta rice what you can afford to rice to get the empty headed skulls in skirts. And sometimes you gotta give what you can from the pit of your dirty North American soul to others across the world in terrible need.
Roseleen. aka: Rosy.

A Century Of U.S. Military Intervention
Quite the read for those of you who are still CONFUSED on who to vote for June 28th. Harper/Martin fully support Missile Defence in SPACE along with our U.S. neighbours.
A small hundred year history for you:
http://www.zmag.org/CrisesCurEvts/interventions.htm
Despite claims to NOT go to SPACE, Martin is going to face a REAL challenge in saying NO when The U.S. says YES YES YES down the road.
enjoy.

The fine appearance of things
After the great debate I called my lawyer and asked his opinion.
He seemed to agree that if I were a Franco-Quebecer I should vote for the
interests of Quebec, being that I do live here and plan to have a business one day.
Yet the Bloc does not support English culture nor its needs to coexist harmoniously.
Gilles, was basically there for the fun of harassing the hell out of Martin/Harper and siding with Jack. It would be great if there were another 9 separatist provincial parties running alongside Gilles. At least then it would be more fair. A whole party dedicated to one province is quite odd to begin with. Why not have a full out Albertan/Sask/N.B./B.C..... parties to support the cultures and identities of its inhabitants. Just to be fair. Hell we could all separate, 10 countries. And I would rename Alberta: Pattatista. And such. But then to separate the country that would be closed minded, ignorant, superficial and well impossible.
It was indeed interesting to see the debate split 50/50.
MARTIN/HARPER VS. JACK/GILLES, wait did I just spell out...'jack and jill'
YES!
JACK AND GILLES went up a hill to fetch a pail of Weapons Of Mass Destruction claims and jack fell down because Missile defence systems tied to the Big Brother below us and broke his crown, and gilles along with quebec well, just went tumbling after along with bill 101...(sorry that didnt rhyme)
Furthermore, I spent the night speaking with my lawyer and he told me he was working on a case for the Haute Couture House of Chloe. Which I believed he knew about being that he does at least wear Burberry ties. Dave has Uber style and also works on Bay St.
I work in The Chabanel Area in 'la cite de mode' which is the same. In case you are after any sort of career status these are the places to be.
Now to enlighten you with a deeper history:
Chloe
http://www.chloe.com/history/index.html
mg:
For those of you blessed with WLRRR, it is a FINE cd.
Very much like RAYGUN, and LAST OF THE GHETTO ASTRONAUTS.
The old raw stuff.
An interesting limited edition CD that has clever pure white pictures of the VAG
(Vancouver Art Gallery)
For Brian that was apparently blessed by MG last night; money CAN buy you anything you want (including some style):
Apparitions was written at a BBQ, so think nothing of the lyrics. As sad as they may be at times. But it is an empty song. But if you want more misc shit on him, than go read his blog instead of mine! www.matthewgood.org
Its around +26 today, so the whole sunscreen spray oil 4 better cut it today.
A tan IS a sign of sun damage. Yes, Damage.
But it was COCO CHANEL that paved the way for a tan back in the 1920's! She was a Fashion guru. These Fashionista's know how to cause trouble.

It was indeed interesting to see the debate split 50/50.
MARTIN/HARPER VS. JACK/GILLES, wait did I just spell out...'jack and jill'
YES!
JACK AND GILLES went up a hill to fetch a pail of Weapons Of Mass Destruction claims and jack fell down because Missile defence systems tied to the Big Brother below us and broke his crown, and gilles along with quebec well, just went tumbling after along with bill 101...(sorry that didnt rhyme)
Furthermore, I spent the night speaking with my lawyer and he told me he was working on a case for the Haute Couture House of Chloe. Which I believed he knew about being that he does at least wear Burberry ties. Dave has Uber style and also works on Bay St.
I work in The Chabanel Area in 'la cite de mode' which is the same. In case you are after any sort of career status these are the places to be.
Now to enlighten you with a deeper history:

mg:
For those of you blessed with WLRRR, it is a FINE cd.
Very much like RAYGUN, and LAST OF THE GHETTO ASTRONAUTS.
The old raw stuff.
An interesting limited edition CD that has clever pure white pictures of the VAG
(Vancouver Art Gallery)
For Brian that was apparently blessed by MG last night; money CAN buy you anything you want (including some style):
Apparitions was written at a BBQ, so think nothing of the lyrics. As sad as they may be at times. But it is an empty song. But if you want more misc shit on him, than go read his blog instead of mine! www.matthewgood.org
Its around +26 today, so the whole sunscreen spray oil 4 better cut it today.
A tan IS a sign of sun damage. Yes, Damage.
But it was COCO CHANEL that paved the way for a tan back in the 1920's! She was a Fashion guru. These Fashionista's know how to cause trouble.

June 28th countdown
Its funny how many people I have met out here in Quebec that do not know how to:
a) vote
b) sing our national anthem
c) identify where Edmonton is
d) celebrate Canada day
e) tolerate differences among cultures
f) drink REAL beer
g) live life to the max
or
h) love.
I find it quite upsetting.
But who am I to judge, I still cannot master the french language after 5 years.
It is damn hard to learn rapidly unless you are say, Preston Manning with language coaches. But at least I am openminded enough to live among this harsh attitude away from my family to support my career and ambition.
Just don't call me American. Please, you don't want to do such a thing as that.
And I take Japanese Karate in complete french. And the Kung Fu is Cantonese.
So really I am up on most people in regards to language.
I can also speak Redneck Albertan if I need to buy a pickup truck. Or swindle a farmer for fresh warm eggs.
This is all to say that the Political Debate tonight on the dreaded french channel was decent. No hard views, simple eloquently rehearsed statements. And Harper had some new highlights added to his crop of never misplaced plastic Ken doll hair.
(Good Move!)
Harper/Layton/Martin have wicked Anglo/French accents that I can easily understand.
So I quite enjoyed having a sneakpeak before tomorrow's debate.
cbc: 8pm.

2) And for the ones that I know are simply 'with it':
Voter toolkit,

Kung Fu was great today, I am learning the TIGER form. It is SO different from Kyokushin Karate, better in some ways as the style has been tweaked over hundreds or years. But I still love Kyokushin, as it's my first love. "OSU!"
And after class, I arrived home to find my grass cut.
Such a simple taste of serenity.

Harper's gag order
11/06/2004
Shut-up-and-do-what-you're-told campaign
OTTAWA — The self-proclaimed Conservative champion of free speech Stephen Harper is gagging his candidates in the hopes of preserving his stealth campaign to impose a socially conservative agenda.
However, the Conservative leader Stephen Harper must be kicking himself for not extending his gag order far enough. Former Progressive Conservative MP Rick Borotsik is warning voters to carefully weigh their options before voting.
"Red flags on EI, red flags on official bilingualism, red flags on health care, red flags on abortion, obviously," he told the CBC today. "[Stephen Harper] is not bringing it forward. But if it comes forward from his party, he wouldn't stop it.
“What this new party is and what it stands for will come after the election. That's a concern that I have,” Borotsik told Winnipeg CBC host Terry MacLeod.
CanWest News Service sources describe the gag order — what the Tories call an “affirmation” form — forces candidates to “agree not to publicly criticize any other colleague, the Leader or the Party.” Just ask former Saskatchewan premier Grant Devine and former MP Chuck Cadman what would happen if a candidate refused to sign the form, as they did. Both had their party memberships revoked.
Apparently, the gag order doesn't apply to Harper himself, who criticized Conservative MP Scott Reid for speaking out against Canada 's official bilingual policy, or MP Cheryl Gallant, who spoke out last week in favour of repealing hate legislation that has recently been amended to include sexual orientation as one of the protected groups.
Now CBC Ottawa reports the MP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke hasn't been seen since she made national headlines over her views on abortion and gay rights. CBC reports she cancelled an interview Thursday and didn't show up for two all-candidates debates.
I HOPE YOU ALL DO YOUR HOMEWORK.

Weed Wackin' planting seeds for 2007
I let you down didn't I?
ok, so I tried my best to be as follows:
1) Nurturing,
2) Thoughtful,
3) Considerate,
4) Helpful
and at the best of times:
5) Pleasant.
But the fact of the matter is,
I don't really have time to cut my grass.
And I will pay you $10 bux to cut this 8x7 ft square down here in Verdun.
Grass and weeds grow fast trust me. I return home from work and they are taller every single blasted night. Not that I am like those hitchhikers (that stand by the side of the highway somehow not getting hit by passing trucks) you know, standing, waiting, watching the grass grow. Time passing slowly, yet grass growing quickly before their eyes.
I used to think about hitchhiking to Vancouver. Then I could watch the grass grow, avoid Black Bears, Deer, Moose. I could hike into the woods and become Queen of the forest. Create a secret language so that the animals could understand me and they would sacrifice their young so that I could eat. And such.
I had a friend named Denny that did it back in 1994. Not the whole forest bit, but more of the hitchhiking thing. He had his skateboard and skated between rides. It took him around two weeks from Edmonton. I thought it was cool. But he lost a lot of weight and almost died. Furthermore, the whole Queen thing would be a more suitable idea along the trip.
I have five boxes of Impatients and Cosmo's that need a home.
Come by cut my grass. I will give you Heineken. Yes I am begging.
But I am also being busy and lazy all at the same time. Why not, I colored my hair blonde for the summer didn't I? I am supposed to play the role of useless Blondie begging Dagwood. I can't make you one of her sandwiches though. I haven't been able to get the Animals of the forest to process their young like that. I donated a meat slicer nonetheless to help.
The WHOLE ten dollars in my NEW $30 Hurley wallet is up for grabs.
Feel free to do with it as you please once finished.
Donations to Amnesty International would be key.
But, If you must: A-team is available now on dvd.
If you walk by this coming weekend and see the flowers planted then you'll know I pulled it off. Then you and I can watch Mr. T beat the snot outta those "bad guys" continuously on an A-team around-the-clock marathon weekend. I think my lawyer friend Dave should bring his rare 1980's VHS tape of Mr. T.
But then Dave would have to come visit. He lives in Toronto. Rosy called today and said she was also in Toronto seeing a JobSearchAgent. This made me sad, because I don't want to lose another friend to such a hellishly stagnant place like Toronto. Toronto is full of supersized bugs. I lived there four months, and had GIANT hornets in my apartment. They could have killed me. There were also GIANT racoons after my trashcans. So I shot them.
Big cities hold big things. Today I found bugs in my baking cupboard.
This made me sad as I had to throw out a lot of flour, sugar, etc.
Powdery stuff seems to be heaven if you are a tiny brown worm type thing.
So those hooked on cocaine are indeed wormy.
Keep all things in plastic containers, plastic bags just dont cut it. Supersize bugs are able to shrink down and squeeze through TwistTies. And then shed their tiny shrunken skins and leave them there to wipe up while slithering back into supersize form whilst eating your dry goods.
Among the bugs and all things slimy here in The East,
I was bored Saturday and went outside to look at the grass grow and found Brian on my doorstep. I sent him home later that day.
I write this not to brag, but to say that I have never rejected anyone.
I guess this is how it feels to finally be a true Easterner. Tough. Selfish.
But at least I wasn't the one having dinner with a girl named Kate not even a week ago. I don't eat remember, I gotta watch my figure because I work in fashion. I Then heard from my Lawyer friend Dave tonight. Him and I are to be married in 2007. We have this future engagement prearranged. Why not. We know what we will just be involved with more useless people until then, it's one of those things that's just in the cards. But that's a chosen fate for us. I feel Indian being arranged. Maybe its all the Nan bread I eat with Rosy.
Maybe her people had it right all along to be arranged at birth. Or IS it just dumb luck that it would actually work out? let me know: pLc@liberty_at_last.FU
Well folks, a new week, a new wallet, a new identity, a new frame of mind, a new Matt Good cd on tuesday, part-time Concordia University Graphic design program registration friday. What more could I ask for. What more could YOU ask for?
I suppose I should check my lottery numbers to see if you will ever hear from me again.

1st SMOG alert= Summer 2004 has started!
The air was thick today.
The cats woke me up with a crash of fashion magazines hitting the floor. 5 am.
It wasn't an earthquake. Just their reckless morning behaviour.
"Its summer!" they cried out into the heated still air. (I think that's what they said)
Earthquakes occur in Montreal more often than you think. I heard that the actual island has too much weight living on it. And that it is apparently supposed to crack in half at any given time.
Better hope that I sink into my watery/burning grave on the anglo half!
Tabernac! will echo off the buildings in Verdun from the bleu collars as they dive out of their 3 story 4 1/2's with twisted metal staircases and drown with their french half into their watery/burning cracked island of Montreal hell. I also hope I am not on the metro at this point in time.
I went through an earthquake here in Montreal a few years ago.
I woke up in a daze, looked at my uncontrolled shaking hands.
Hmmm. (Sober nonetheless) I wondered if I should dive under my bed. My cats were standing on my chest. I went back to sleep. I would love to die peacefully. Not by bullet blindfolded in a Mexican jail....or Arab jail mind you. Nor by the woman who will shortly become me in the future with my stolen wallet. "Impossibility is a greater motivational force than probability." -MG.
So I started Kung Fu last week. Now I have to add this to my Ninja list as follows:
1) karate
2) kickboxing
3) kung fu
4) misc self defence.
Basically, this is just to say, that if I had lived in the 60's I could have stolen Natasha's job and went to work with Boris. Besides, I look great in purple.
My neighbour is moving soon on Quebec's offical moving day:
JULY 1ST.
so I got to take a sneaky ninja glimpse through my blinds at the people looking at her place. I am all for the Cute young Chinese couple. I know their english isn't as good as mine, but i'm proud that they made it to Canada. What it would be like to start fresh, is really beyond me. Well Quebec is like another country. Try losing your wallet and getting a whole spanking brand new english identity. Its not so easy.
At least I might be able to get some good homecooked meals!
Dumplings with peanut sauce Miss Chiles?
I was going to run out and greet them. Invite them into my Asian-theme-martial-arts-gone-mad bedroom. But I decided to eat the last of my Dragon Beard candy instead. Sit back and watch The National.
I forget how that saying goes.
Is Fate really Fate, or to the skeptics, is it just Dumb Luck?
I caught Brian with Kate again.
.Sometimes its good to have friends.
.Sometimes its good just to be friends.
.Sometimes its good just to do friends.
Thanks for the reminder that I need MORE friends.
So as per the above mentioned the need for something more than yourself ultimately diminishes the need for yourself.
I can say that that book has been closed. I have a new arab identity. And a new book to write. Anyone up for a lifelong book deal? I have a red corvette now, did you forget?
patricia_l_chiles@swf.red!corvette.com
Thank you Mike for getting me an iPOD. Hope you use plenty of bubblewrap to send it.
That is AFTER you put all of your Kyuss rarities onto it! (crossing fingers)

LIBERTY
Guinness. 4 years young this past Monday.
Makes me smile every time he fetches and talks.
I love him.
I decided to go out to watch Stanley be taken from Alberta.
I grew up hating the Flames with every square inch of my soul.
Come on, a puck bouncing off the skate of Steve Smith to let them beat
our Oilers for the cup would create furious anger in any 80's kid.
Gretz left our town and our economy went dry along with yesterdays neon ski jackets and hairsprayed bangs. Did I forget to mention purple acidwash jeans and Tiffany were also cool. Oh and that I HATE cowtown.
So despite the loss of Alberta's cup I was happy for the loss.
Oilers are well, OILERS!
However, for Canada's loss I hung my head low and went to pay for my dinner.
And to my suprise (!) My wallet was stolen from my purse.
When it rains it pours.
So I spent $60+ and the better half of today seeking a 'NEW' identity.
Such a menace. Nice to come home, sort through my life and call it a day.
Marshmallow peanuts anyone?
F1 weekend.
I'm really not looking forward to all the hoopla.
It's all the same every year.
Ferrari red, bud girls, hot guys.
The smell of American cash and burnt rubber in the air.
Maybe the guys that made off with my identity will be out buying keychains at
The Hardrock Cafe.
Seems like a suitable place mentally for such sneaky fellas.
Too bad Planet Hollywood shut its doors.
and it could be possible, that in 2013,
Patricia L. Chiles will become a bbq super villain.
Taking your dog hostage with duct tape.
Cutting him up in front of you.
Roasting the butchered head on a silvery rod.
Come and get it while he's hot.
2013summer@patricia.l.chiles
Venus passed across the sun today.
Not since 1882 has this happened.
I bet Billy the kid burnt his eyes out trying to see this.
Or that Quaker Oats man in the black hat. "Cripes!" he shouted.
If you missed it, the next will be in 2012.
That is one year before the P.L.C. bbq dog takeover.
And if you miss this affair, Venus slides across the sun: 2117.
At least I know that my 2013 bbq legend will be at THAT cook off.
And then in an act that only the fires of bbq hell could explain in 2117, the Dog and his butchered ghost head will show up (uninvited of course) steal the spotlight and the P.L.C. legend will be changed forever.
Becoming solely about the dog's ghostly barking head. And not Me and the duct tape and the skewer.
While your head is spinning, I thought of this:
Some people would complain about standing in long lines to vote.
Others would stand in front of tanks to vote.
.families.
.more funding to public health.
.take the gst off family essentials.
.kyoto, and actually making it work.
.missile defence system in space? hell no.
.elections should be about ideas.
Regan is gone. I can only remember him being a moldy looking puppet on
the brit show Spitting Image.
Ride on cowboy, into that shiny plastic foam sunset you created.
His greatest role. An actor. Correct yes?
I am off to sleep and think about the fear that I have tried so hard to
pass off all these years about those BAD Arab guys that roam the streets looking for PUMA purses to root through. And dreadful American's drinking Florida orange juice from Lord Stanley.
It is 2004.
Smell the reality wont you.
Perhaps my new Arab self has been dreaming of becoming ME all of these years.
The surgery is complete!
Bandages off. ITS ALIVE!
Maybe I will get a red corvette as my new self.
Lock your doors.
Roll windows.
Duct tape your neighbours mouth.
Makes me smile every time he fetches and talks.
I love him.

and it could be possible, that in 2013,
Patricia L. Chiles will become a bbq super villain.
Taking your dog hostage with duct tape.
Cutting him up in front of you.
Roasting the butchered head on a silvery rod.
Come and get it while he's hot.

Venus passed across the sun today.
Not since 1882 has this happened.
I bet Billy the kid burnt his eyes out trying to see this.
Or that Quaker Oats man in the black hat. "Cripes!" he shouted.
If you missed it, the next will be in 2012.
That is one year before the P.L.C. bbq dog takeover.
And if you miss this affair, Venus slides across the sun: 2117.
At least I know that my 2013 bbq legend will be at THAT cook off.
And then in an act that only the fires of bbq hell could explain in 2117, the Dog and his butchered ghost head will show up (uninvited of course) steal the spotlight and the P.L.C. legend will be changed forever.
Becoming solely about the dog's ghostly barking head. And not Me and the duct tape and the skewer.
While your head is spinning, I thought of this:
Some people would complain about standing in long lines to vote.
Others would stand in front of tanks to vote.
.families.
.more funding to public health.
.take the gst off family essentials.
.kyoto, and actually making it work.
.missile defence system in space? hell no.
.elections should be about ideas.
Regan is gone. I can only remember him being a moldy looking puppet on
the brit show Spitting Image.
Ride on cowboy, into that shiny plastic foam sunset you created.
His greatest role. An actor. Correct yes?
I am off to sleep and think about the fear that I have tried so hard to
pass off all these years about those BAD Arab guys that roam the streets looking for PUMA purses to root through. And dreadful American's drinking Florida orange juice from Lord Stanley.
It is 2004.
Smell the reality wont you.
Perhaps my new Arab self has been dreaming of becoming ME all of these years.
The surgery is complete!
Bandages off. ITS ALIVE!
Maybe I will get a red corvette as my new self.
Lock your doors.
Roll windows.
Duct tape your neighbours mouth.

WHEN THE WHITE LIGHT GOES DIM
Friday.
Matt Good's concert cxld due to illness.
I follow his BLOG daily and knew that this would occur.
He had said that he wasn't doing very well this past week.
Must be hard to sing every other night in a strange town.
And knowing that your voice is your source of bread and butter, that's gotta be rough.
If you were to lose it due to illness there goes a big sack of cash for the night.
And he has to pay for cool stuff such as his wife's Vuitton purse addiction and that iPOD he raves on about. We all have our addictions. No matter how old we get, no matter the age. It will be a long wait for him to come back to Montreal.
I know he is off going to Banff for his birthday. Which he shares with my cousin Gerry.
Saturday.
I went to chinatown to enjoy the sunshine and to eat at the best Chinese restaurant in town. Well, obviously!
And I had to go down there as I have heard all about this treat called Dragon's Beard candy. I found the old man and told him how excited I was to finally get to taste it.
He gave me a small package and told me to savour every small piece. My friends weren't interested in my small treasure. But it was indeed fantastic.
I then also hunted around the backs of tiny shops looking for a Mogwai to take home, as my cats just aren't impressing me these days. Hairballs etc.
But I just couldn't find the secret voodoo chinese/asian store that carried one, or more? So I left 20% satisfied.
Then off to the Old Port of Montreal with the girls.
They had a reggae festival going on.
IS Bob Marley alive?
YES, and I saw him in French form.
Dreds AND a fannypack! Imagine my suprise.
Got sun, picked up my feet and walked over to see some Quebec punk throwing japanese knives. Gave my loonies away. But now THATS entertainment!
On a sad note, (not re: the punks)
This weekend my parents cat Finnegan just died of kidney failure.
He was only 6 years old.
So yes I was really sad this weekend.
Life is precious and can be taken at any moment.
Think of this often and live out your days as if there would be no tomorrow.
Can you do this?
Sometimes it's nice just to stay home and waste the day away eating strawberries and cool whip. And let time pass rapidly.
Ah, Cool whip. Aint life grand when you can get edible oil out of a can!
And sometimes it's nice just to stay out late enough with friends to watch the sunrise. Not always on purpose mind you, but at least you'll know that there WILL be a tomorrow.
My brother and his wife are expecting any day. Tangie is glowing.
So all I can say is I CANT WAIT! and, the suitcase better be beside the front door Mike!
Life IS all around you. Make sure to stop and look. Appreciate it in all forms good and bad.
Brian just told me that his sister is now expecting! But thats a whole 9mths away.
I am happy for his family, they need someone new and precious to smile about.
Due to the fact that I couldn't find the Mogwai, I almost got a dog today, but then I remembered that I have cats. And the dog would eat them. So then I almost got a hamster. And then the cats would eat him. So then I almost got a bunny, but then I remembered that I COULD eat him if I were to lose my fridge. So instead I got a giant box of Mr. Freeze and Kool-aid. And some Marshmallow Peanuts.
All in a Sunday imagine.

PIGS IN SPACE
Another day at a fine job.
Great balance of graphics and production.
I am happy. Also finished up the day with a Kung Fu class with Andre, he teaches coworkers at our workplace twice a week.
Its quite a unique building that i now work in.
It is a renovated tennis court, half tennis, half veal fattening pens.
And about 18 graphic designers and counting...
So Andre was truly happy that i made it out to his class as i was his new partner and i got to help the coworkers/students as well as help demonstrate. This is a challenge as they are all beginners. and hey, so am i! and of course it was a great way to meet people. or! a bad way to scare them off with my Kyokushin Karate ninja skills.
and just who ARE you voting for?
Was reading my Gazette and wanted you to know that the U.S. government is planning a space race.
-Weapons in orbit by 2012-
The US has renewed its interest in building a space-based laser.
And will be moving into "black territory" this means its existence will be kept from the Canadian public. 12-24 orbiting lasers to destroy enemy missiles. Outfitted with lasers with a range of 1,000-5,000 kilometres.
The NDP and Bloc disagree with this race, but Martin who is still negociating a role for Canada in the missile shield, has said he opposes weapons in orbit. But has said that the system being planned at this point with the U.S. involves using ground and sea-based interceptors designed to shoot down incoming ballistic missiles. But earlier this year the Pentagon requested $47 million to start development of a space-based interceptor.
In February, the U.S. air force unveiled its plan to put weapons into orbit and destroy other countries' satellites as part of a strategy of space being dominated by the United States and its allies. A test version could be in orbit by 2012.
-Hope this will make you sleep 'safely' in the future ahead!
-On June 28th, make sure you vote for the one that will best represent your riding.
As this is all I can really think of at this point.

Matthew Good (he is here friday, why not re-read an amazing GEM! helps me get past the
one hour journey to and from work)
-Les enfants terribles
Jean Cocteau (there is an exhibit at the musee des beaux arts showing his many talents)
-back issues of the Economist
-Misc 1992-2004 back issues of Vogue (what else is new?)
