Love

You know what I love? I love the fact that I can sit on the 17th floor of a downtown office building, look out any which way and see nothing but sky. Sky, green trees and mind-blowing sunsets. Absolutely fucking spectacular! Astonishing. Makes me forget about everything, good and bad. I love this fucking city, it gets me right here (pounds fist on heart).

You're making me home sick. I've got the picture of downtown from 55 Nassau as my desktop background at work. jerky co-workers were amazed Winnipeg had tall buildings. I say, if haven't been don't dis it! Winnipegs got a place in my heart too... I'm a displaced winnipeger, and there seems to be a lot of them out here.

It's crazy. I was talking to a daughter of one of my Dad's freinds when I was in Montreal (about my age) and she was absolutley floored when I told who how many people live here.
