so...

so....just something to spit and release, and maybe find some revelation along the way....

so...

it is the final Friday in January, which means in my Canadian world, the halfway point of the slumber months, months where i am forced indoors more than usual, with early darkness decending...so..the eerie glow of the tube becomes the revelatory light, which revelation i learned from today...that paying with interact is "The Canadian Way to Pay"...hmm..is there a necessary stipend to the government to enable to make that assertion...is this the result of research?...and just what the hell is the Canadian way to do anything??? That has always boggled me in away...think of it this way...Kerouac can wane wonderful about the music spilling out into the great American night....can you say that ever about Canada...doesn't work...but doesn't make Canada less great...just sort of undefined....and i like that.....we even did it our ourselves during the closing ceremonies of the winter Olympics...we rolled out every tourist shop cliche about Canada, potentially making ourselves look ridiculous, but who gave a damn, we were celebrating our own inability to identify ourselves....and that is good....we're a blank canvas of a nation so to speak...well, except that we pay for out purchases with interact...sheesh...
