The West IS the best

Are we having a coolest city debate?

Much to my surprise, vancouver is the coolest place in the world. I know that you guys dont want me to talk about drugs but there are bars here where you can go in and smoke from waterbongs. You come in off the street and then all of a sudden you re in this chilling place with all these people smoking from waterbongs! Whatsup with that? I went into one corner of one of these places and some bleached blonde natty haired witch sold me various herbs and plants I had only read about on the internet that offer various types of perception changes. Cool! They even had living peyote cactuses for sale! How cool is that? Pretty gosh darned cool.

The Hobo culture is large and healthy in it's variety and sketchiness. During my wanderings i managed to catch at least half a dozen crazies talking to demons or angels, sometimes singing softly, sometimes giving speeches about the government to no one, sometimes scribbling furiously on scraps of parchment, obviously channeling the essay of some unseen god, or maybe solving the problem of string theory. Hobos living together at hobo corner. Hobo mystic poseidon socrates jeff funnel types with long flowing beards and luxuriant locks every colour of the rainbow. Hobo ladies falling in love with hobo gentlemen with tatoos on their faces. Ancient hobos strumming guitars outside of bars, making a fortune. Word is on the street that there will be big changes for the olymics in 2010.

Move over montreal. Mountains and ocean are a great unbeatable combo. Elegance and refinement and growing things everywhere. This city was designed with forsight. And with all the olympic construction going on, things are only going to get better. I looked out the window and observed some sort of dance troupe doing their routine blocking traffic down the middle of the street. Neat!

Not many pretty girls walking around like in Montreal, I thnk that's because they are all wise enough to spend most of their time in the nearbyforests and mountains or maybe swimming in the ocean.

Im bleeding money but that's okay. I remembered today that Bob Marley is the greatest prophet of our time and I re-bought all of his albums.

I went for a jog this morning around the waterway and over all the bridges. Why don't we just move the whole operation over here asap? I think that would be a good move for all of us. Did you guys know that it hardly snows here? What was the temperature like this winter in Winnipeg? You get my drift.

Saw forbidden kingdom again. That movie rules except for the american kid is really annoying. It's worth it though, the Monkey King is absolutely awsome.

Off to the bush on saturday.

in conjunction with the comments previous in regards to Winnipegers magnetically drawn to one another, as I was buying the magic herbs I chatted breifly with the barbarous long beard bald head heavy metal black shirt dude who was flirting with the witch.

He was from Winnipeg Manitoba, seven year folk fest veteran.

Burton's Winnipeggish grin is still not convincing me of BC's land of boutny view. Visuals are in order.

P.S. No matter where you go, Montreal will still be the capital for most beautiful girls per street corner.

Just saying.

let's get serious here. i don't know if you've noticed, but there's a worldwide epidemic of beauty in women.
