Very much in like with Other Lives. They've walked into my life very suddenly and swiftly, like a tall dark stranger with a good look in his eye. I'm pretty happy about this.

Other news: Well, there's a Hollywood movie being filmed here in Guelph. Colin Farrell is starring in it. The title is ' Total Recall '. There's streets closed off, and I believe they begin shooting tomorrow. I'm currently at work, and just down the street there's the beginnings of a movie set -- old battered up cars, a ghost town look. I'm intrigued.

I hope I see some famous faces. I would be pretty giddy.

Also, I've been getting back into writing. Little by little, small steps at a time, but it's coming. The more I write, the more I want to write, and my love for it grows. So, the key is write on!

More soon.

"We can do not great things,


Only small things with great love.

It is not how much you do

but how much love you put into doing it"
 
Mother Teresa

'You know, Son, I used to lie awake at night and worry. I would toss, and have my head spinnin', all because I never really told you how to be in this life. There are so many bad things, son, so many. I know you're old enough to hold your own. You're a good man, too.  But I never truly told you.
When things get real bad, worse, hold on tight to what you know to be true. Hold on like so.' She gripped his hands in hers with all of her strength.
'You're leavin now, and that's all fine. I look at you and I'm so proud. Son, I am so proud.' Her eyes welled up.
'But there are things you don't know now, and things you may have to go through the very fires of hell to learn, all because I never did tell you. '

She let go and turned away. Shaking her head slowly, she leaned against the kitchen counter, and stared into the field out the window.

'Your father would have been the one who told you, and I was angry I suppose. He shoulda been there, son. He coulda been the one all along. But the Lord had to go and take him away from us. I don't know what I hold as truth no more. The Lord took him.
'Son, it's a bad world. I just wish I had told you in the first place.'

Her son said nothing, he just stood and watched her, with nothing but a broken heart and strong arms to offer her. He walked to her and held her close.

'Ma,' he said, and she wept in his arms.

July One (Yay Canada)

I've moved! To a cute, quite spacious, old house in downtown Guelph.

I love love love it there, and I'm feeling more at home there already than I ever did at my other apartment. These photos are just of my room --which, by the way, has a walk in closet! whhaat? I'll have more photos up soon of the rest of the house.

I'm very excited. I love the neighbourhood -- everyone is soo friendly! And all the neighbours just want to talk and visit and be friends. It's great.

These pictures are of me and Susie, my roommate & best friend (she's wonderful) on Canada day.

We found a dead creature. Sad.

More soon!
