Pretty interesting hey! I bet none of you out there knew I could have such complex thoughts and emotions. Well I'll have you know, I do!
Okay well here's the real story, or as close to it as I could get. A little over one month ago I found out that my mom was going through some health problems and was in the hospital. I decided that I should go home and see what I could do and also, it's been a long time since I've been in Canada. So After an afternoon of official buisness I was off. Maggies family again, helped me out as much as they could as did my good buddy Chris Brown. It was really nice to see Beijing for the first time since my arrival in China. I got a chance to walk around tianmen square and to check out Mao's ashes and his plastic repleca. Thats one ugly mug. On to Canada. Upon arrival in Vancouver where I had a 12 hour layover I was lucky enough to have the question, "your jonesing arn't ya? asked to me by a stranger while I was waiting to go through customs. That fine young man was more than happy to ease that 15 month long burden as his brother picked us up from the airport and shared some doobage with me.
Anyways Vancouver rocked caus I got to see One of the rockinest dudes I've ever had the honour of knowing. My good friend Jae. Jae and I talked it up pretty good and he showed me some stuff that he's been workin on and by the way. Sounds wicked man. Keep that shit goin.
Calgary oh yeah. My brother Peter and his beautiful family picked me up from the airport and we chatted for a while that night and faded off in the wee hours. The next day I saw my mom for the first time in a long time. We had a nice talk and decided that we'd see each other again soon. That night however was pretty awesome. Remember the story about the Baijiu. Thats the chinese rice wine that I talked about earlier on in the blog. Well I brought some back and My brothers and my cousin Ritchie and I had a pretty good night. I think the only reason they drank it was because they didn't want there littlest brother to show em up.
Moving on. It FUCKING Rocked to see my good friends in Calgary. You guys are the shit. The good smelling shit of course. Hangin out, Drinkin Canadian Beer, talking walks through semetarys. Feelin awesome.Late night games of risk. Playing guitar by a fire in a new friends back yard. Does it get much better? I'm not sure.
The differences are many between Canada and China but when people ask me which do you like better I can never give them an answer. But I think that will be the case for anywhere I travel to. Even America.
I spent a lot of time with my mom and she seems to be doing better. Mom It was really fun playing guitar at the hospital. I hope everyone enjoyed it.
I'd like to type for a couple more hours here but I think I'd better go. I've got some cds to listen too. Thanks Ryan. You rock. Oh yeah Ryan... hurry up and make that move you need to make. Happiness is generally the search. And it ain't often you can see it right in front of you.
Thanks for letting me use the car mom!
Peace from Patrick
