toronto island day

Saturday, July 16th, 2005

finally a saturday off! bren and i went to this: http://chariotfestival.com/. the parade is apparently sunday and not saturday like i hoped. big disappointment. but, we ended up going to center island where the festivites were happening. its a hot a huuuuumid day. it looks like rain too. overcast and grey. taking the ferry over was pretty cool, its only 6 bux round trip, takes about 15-20 min. its a whole different world out there i tell ya. a couple of beaches, a few snack bars, bikes and 2-4 person peddle cars.
we finally found the hare krishna tents after a 5 min. walk from the ferries. smack dab in the middle of the island and some regatta races. colorful signs and saris and flowers, and oh my shiva, the longest line for the free vegitarian food!

music and men

its humid and hot hot hot in toronto. the radio says its 25C, but it feels like 36C…at 9am! thats about 80 and 93 to those who need to know it in F, not exact but thereabouts. dispite this, i felt like walking around, to work, to the farmers market with my ipod listening to U2. i’ve changed the headphones so i dont look so conspicuous. white is a terrible color. it just gets dirty and brown, so i’m sticking with black.

i have to say that Bono sure can sing it. the passion in his voice makes me melt and sucks me into the mood and feeling deep from my soul. i also wondered how a guy can sing so well and be so into music. i wonder why men rule the music industry and not women. women express emotions more than men. is this why when men express emotions we all swoon and they become popular? when its a woman its commonplace and not as spectacular? maybe. all i know is that it comes from deep in the soul and something happens…
