normdate 7.1.6

seems like british columbia is the place to be according to all of the ads in the subway stations



last night was graham's going away party at brennan and bev's place. graham is leaving for edmonton tomorrow to live and work. seems like the west is calling a lot of us.


so many markham peeps were there last night. i'm not sure what it is about our markham krew, but it seems like the friendships we began there continue into our adulthood, and its not just us. there is something about our markham connektion that lasts.





i trekked through dundas square on my way to the subway and stumbled across the chinese canadian celebrations. they sure do love canada. i sure love canada.





my canada day celebrations each year normally bring me to the tribe bbq on the toronto islands. free beats on the island with a community i've been interacting with online for over 7 years.









but not this year. this year i was going to spend time with friends i've loved for longer, friends that i hold close to my heart. my friend dan from high school (yes, another markham boy) had just bought a new home in bolton and more importantly had just received his canadian citizenship. yup, after 20years here, he finally decided to make it legal! so graham and i headed up to bolton to celebrate with dan and his family.



congratulations dan on the new home and the citizenship. now you can do more than just bitch about the gov't, you can vote!

it was also good to see dan's family. his daughter is 7, his son is almost 3, and seeing his mom and his sisters was awesome. even his grandmother was visiting from baltimore! i haven't seen them in forever. and yes, good looks run in the family.







i said my goodbyes to graham and headed back into the city.

graham, you are one of my closest friends. i'll miss you brother, and i can't wait to link up with you in alberta.



i hooked up with michelle and hippie graeme in toronto and we headed to 99 sudbury for a little house music provided by mischief and frankie. there weren't too many people there, but we had a good time none the less. yes propah house music!



yes hawt dreadlocks!



yes toronto!
