PICS
It's just this past year has been so amazing and fun for me that I have some weird guilt issues about posting when other crazy dark shit is going on in the world....
Does that make sense?
So this blog I am going to talk about a couple things that have effected me emotionally this year...
I'll keep it short and sweet.
1. The Louisiana Gulph Oil Disaster.
I had the pleasure to visit New Orleans right before this tragedy happened. There is no place else like it. Its beautiful, the people are amazing and the culture is truly a mix that has become its own which I have never experienced before. I hate to think how its effected the people, closing down family run businesses, killing animals, the environment and food source. Food is so much of the Louisiana culture. I truly hope that it will recover. But I'm not so sure since disasters like the Exxon Valdez still have not.
Exxon Valdez Update
2.The G20 Summit.
This summer the Canadian Government decided to host the G20 Summit in the downtown Toronto core despite protest from residents, businesses and the Toronto Mayor. I live and work in downtown Toronto myself so saw what went down. Over 1100 people were arrested and detained in a makeshift jail, only about 100 have been actually charged. People who were just trying to get to work and found themselves in a mob were arrested. Property was damaged, there is major talk of police provocateurs instigating. I could go on about the lies the Government has told and the insane amount of money that was spent, the damage to the city, the misuse of police power and how innocent people were mistreated.
Personally I feel it was a big FUCK YOU from Prime Minister Stephen Harper to the citizens of Canada and a show to the other leaders of the world how strong he is and how he can control his people. Major Rights were violated and I'm not too sure how free we are anymore.
Ah well. That is Friskey's Rant everyone!
I hope you enjoyed it...
My next blog, I will tell you all about the fun that I have been having in Hell City and my travels around! I promise
I will end this blog with a late Christmas Gift for you.
Santa lost it in the North Pole.
Much Love!!

Yay!! You're back! 
It seems like you had a REALLY good experience in New Orleans. I try to spend even more time there now since the disaster.
Things are slowly looking up, but it will probably take years or decades for things to return to the way they were. South Louisiana is such a unique place, it makes me sad when it gets hurt. However, we are kind of used to disasters and usually thrive when presented with a challenge. I hope that's the case with this disaster as well. We'll see.
You seem to fit in with the "vibe" of NOLA. When people visit New Orleans, they either "get t" or they don't. I think YOU get it. I hope you can come back soon. Let me know when you do, maybe we can hang-out a bit.

I've missed reading your posts, dear. I'm glad you are back, and it's okay to make posts and even feel good when other dark things are happening elsewhere. Chin up, love.
Thank you for the video gift. **sigh** I love your voice so much.
Love and hugs.
