2011 was a fun year for me! I moved to Vancouver for a few months to help look after my god-daughters while their family prepared for a change of scenery and they got ready to expect their new baby sister. I went to Europe (Paris, Berlin, Prague and Rome) which was amazing. My friend Johnny and I met some awesome people and got away with...

So I'm not a big fan of Christmas. It has nothing to do with religion, more with the fact that when I was 8, my brother committed suicide on the 24th of December... not the best gift. I learned a lot that day, and sorta lost a part of myself. Today though I played Santa for the kids of my co-workers... and I had fun....

Christmas shopping... ahhh... the time of year when chaos hits all stores and insanity breaks loose over plush animals that talk, books that can literally go "Boo" and clothes that we hope fit the person we're buying for. The mass commercialization of Christmas has become so hectic that mom's throw elbows over lulu hoodies (I've actually seen this) and husbands venture into the store trying...

Saw Immortals the other night, and was disappointed. I thought it was going to be more like 300, with the cinematography and...

After Mexico, a stop in Toronto, to catch up with some friends, then Vancouver, to say hi to the 3 god-daughters. February will be a bit busy, but...

So ya... Ummm... I've been MIA for a long time and I apologize. Work tends to take up a ton of my time and when I do have free time, it's usually spent sleeping.

So re-cap of life:

Last post I was in Paris... that seems so long ago... back on topic; Paris was amazing, saw pretty much everything I wanted to catch in Paris...

In Paris. So happy that everyone here is very friendly and can understand me in English for the most part. Recommend visiting this beautiful city to anyone. Seen the Eiffel Tower (at night when it lights up and they do their light show), the Arc (also at night and we caught the Eiffel Tower light show from there), Notre Dame Cathedral on Easter Monday, the...

I leave for Paris, and the rest of Europe in 2 sleeps! I just realized all the shit I still have to do, and I'm a little nervous that I've procrastinated too much. I also have my friends birthday dinner tomorrow night. I'm happy my flight leaves in the afternoon at least.

So I have some laundry to do, movies and music to throw onto...
