vancouver endless desire i was tired of vancouver not being a link. it deserves to be. unlinked words looked lonely and unloved. vancouver. god, i can't wait. 030619 ... User24 no, unlinked words are special, they break the monotomy of underlined words 030619 ... endless desire difference of opinion 030619 ... User24 re: lonely and unloved, they're full of potential! -and- if I start a new blather, within the next 2 days, someone will have added to it, however, if I don't it could remain unblathed for years, kinda odd.. 030620 ... nom so many thoughts of vancouver rampant in my heart hardly a day goes by without thoughts of my old stomping ground childhood and schooling growing into oneself losing myself in the city forging my way though the crowds remembering the week i left the way one misses what has passed feeling betrayed by little regrets glad for what is gained I cling to the fragments of yesterday vines of reminiscence those days forever in my blood memories of seagulls the sunshine and rain spanish banks the steps so many shops the scent of the ocean the friends i knew and loved and those i will never see again puddles in the streets cherry blossoms the confusion of concrete and steel the mayhem of closeness i have been a citizen of this city the weight of memory locked in its measure how i would tell you of its beauty through a child's eyes its inspiration in a young girl's heart the way it can take you in and never let you out how much has it changed since i last roamed its streets with the ghosts of my past? when i think on it now, with so many illy composed words and mixed emotions, it's almost impossible to even begin telling you of my days spent in vancouver, the city of my kin 030620 ... endless desire nom-that was absolutely beautiful. user24-yeah you have a point. unlinked words have potential. i like thinking of it that way. but they still look rather lonely in my opinion. words that no one has cared enough about to blathe on yet. i guess i could look at life that way, though. the way you do. that it's not that they are unloved or lonely, but just full of overwhelming potential. you may be changing the way i look at life. though, nearly everything these days is changing the way i look at life. 030620 ... User24 yeah, me too, I go through more life changing experiences than the average Nirvana fan says Kurt and sighs. I like the way phrases stick out on funshiney_test_page 030622 ... endless desire this is great when i am a senior in college ((in vancouver of course--i was reading about the university of british columbia last night)) they will be having the winter olympics there 2010. god that is forever a way i am so young and it is driving me mad. i like figure skating. i wanted to be a figure skater when i was younger. though, i have only ice skated 3 times in my life. ;) 030704 ... nomme Olympics are good and not good/ulimately everything is positive/negative! good idea for the city bad idea for the city our premier is a liar and a loser/everyone is beautiful and my friend! it is going to cost a lot of money to stage this at a time when BC is undergoing radical shifts/changes and government social funding is being slashed at an enormous rate. solutions need to be rethinked so as not to harm. things my grandkin worked hard to establish are being undone by this unjust government homelessness on the rise what a suprise lets keep the protests alive ! SOS ! i think these things are decided not by the cool ppl who want to help the world with peace love and understanding but by THEM ... we all know who they are (who ultimately do help the world) who_knows ? we will see what unfolds! 030704 ... no reason i was told to decide in an hour whether or not i could come. which, really, is impossible i just hope the half i chose works. 030704 ... no reason ohhhh...now i want to go july 29th... sarah_slean is one of the few artists i really would try and follow. it's an added bonus that most of her performances are free... 030704 ... no reason anyone gonna be there near the end of august? yeah. didn't think so. 030807 ... misstree nomme, i want to pick your brain about vancouver but don't want to take up blather_space... do you have an email addie?

In the Greater Vancouver area, the average rental cost for a one bedroom apartment is approximately $800 per month. This is half of what someone working 40 hours a week at $10/hr earns before any taxes or deductions. Those living on a working class income should spend no more than 30% of their pre-tax income on housing." - stophomelessness.ca 061027 ... nom gosh i miss vancouver 061027 ... no reason vancouver misses you 061028 ... no reason the tap water is turbid turbid turbid. i keep wanting to say turgid or turban. maybe i'll just go brush my teeth in the ocean. 061117 ... nom nothing like a storm to stir things up 061117 ... nom it's nice to have new memories 061120 ... no reason maybe it's too far away 070109 ... no reason it's my last full day here for now anyway 070819 ... no reason i've been missing it 071023 ... no reason i've only been back four hours and i feel so happy 071229 ... no reason i miss the mountains 080412 ... nom i'm sitting in grandview a band is playing i made 46 busking today 70 yesterday i'm looking for pot i miss my island and my love i want to go home tonight i don't want to wait 080413 ... nom maybe i'll busk some i was asked to play a cafe i love vancouver i just wish he was here it's hard being away 080413 ... nom busk some more 080413 ... no reason i called and talked to him today and he said you were there too bad about the cancellation i hope the busking is going well though 080413 ... no reason i've been missing a few of my vancouver loves an indescribable amount 080607 ... no reason it's strange when you're on "vacation" somewhere that was once/feels like your home. i haven't really done many touristy or "typical" vancouver things, i've just been enjoying being here. i'm leaving it today and it feels strange and too soon and kind of wrong and makes me sad. 080903 ... kipper Is where the lonely scientologist shuddered, cried out and went back to sleep. 080904 ... no reason a really good friend just told me she's moving there very soon it's good for her but it's really getting to me 081211 ... thieums I went to a shop in Vancouver That had queues that lasted forever .......

Please, let me bring back this gifts of mine to the woman. His eyes shined on my back as I slept and knew you. You didn't leave it all. You made an even call. My belly released the stars and tears between the scars. We're where we belong, it should end here, until the end of time, Beyond the moment that ends our bondage. I am your failed husband contender, I'm your loan shark of bliss. This dream you've ridden on turns your world to explosions You need to be alone to heal this bleeding stone.
