My Life Adventures and Thoughts

Where I’m at these days

I usually don’t divulge into personal details on this blog, but I will from time to time show pictures that depict a snippet of my life. So this picture is about… where I currently live…

and this is the view from where I work…

and this is the studio I like to hang out at…

Drinking in Public… in Canada!

I’ve ran into a few people from France who casually take a swig of alcohol in public. Yikes! Do I have to really ruin the party and tell them it’s not allowed before someone else does and takes them to jail!?

Today I warned a guy in the subway not to drink his wine in the subway, no matter how fancy.

“Not outside man!”

“But we are in the subway!”

“But it’s public!”

“I’m not actually drinking any of it. This is really good wine! Do you want some?”

He began to explain just how fine the wine is before he left the metro. He even gladly presented the bottle for this blog.

I hope he finished it sans problems. I wish I could freely do whatever I want without a worry, stress, anxiety and constantly having to look around!

So, a word of advice to my European readers: put it in a plastic bag or a flask so you won’t get hassled!

Drinking fancy red wine in the metro!

Soup Party!

Every week my friend hosts a soup party. I must say it’s a great way to deal with the odds and ends in our kitchen!

It has become a weekly tradition and a sort of glue to keep a circle of cool people together.

Think of it as a pot luck but more casual and more spice. You really never know what your going to eat and there is no real preparation required!

Winter in Vieux-Port Montreal

Allo,

Here’s a recent picture of me at Old Montreal taken by Shoshana Ruttner. She is a really cool photographer! I highly recommend her! She made me feel at ease, she found a way to make conversation with a weirdo like me.

So what was going through my head at this time of life? Music, money, power, love, food, aesthetics.  I’m recording some songs, and I think I’ll make this the pic that goes with it. It seems like a very-me kinda photo in one of my favourite places on Earth, Old Montreal.
