For youse, some MISCHIEVOUS miscellaneous thoughts. A medley of mad. Potpourri of punch-you-in-the-face. Kick ass kibbles 'n bits, 'n bits, 'n bits. 'n bits! I'm gonna throw down a MASHUP of MUSINGS from today in no particular order, with no rhyme — and with absolutely no reason. I'm a bit worked up right now. Need to vent. Enjoy!

• First off! Edmonton, my hometown! The Fatherland!
  • Dang son, where'd you get all this style from?
    • I've been without visit for just under a year and you went and got all fashionable on me. Proppa! For serious this city is epidemic-ing with a serious case of "We're going out, let's look firkin HAUTE!". Yessah! Edmonton, I never thought you could look so fly.
  • And WOAH! Where did all these cute girls come from!?
    • Don't get me wrong, this winter capital has always had its fair share of fine women... but WOAH! Things have done changed. Thank you for providing this evenings subtle enjoyments! WOAH.
  • All that said Edmonton, you're still a bit too cold. 
    • How about building a few GINORMOUS patio heaters to blanket the entire sprawling city with a few warm rays? Please? Cuz if so I would stay a bit longer.

• Second now. Business thought of the week.
  • First rule of fight club: Don't let your ego stand in the way of you and the opportunity.
• Three. I am a giant ball of organic energy and excitement.
  • I'm so happy about life and opportunity I can't even sit still. Fidgety. Bursting at the seams. My friends can barely recognize me, I'm so enthusiastic about everything.
  • Put me in a room full of cool people and I will work it. And if I don't hand out 10 business cards, and take down a couple names or numbers... it just isn't a proper night out. And yessah! I'm just getting started.
• Four. Thanh SÆ¡n Vietnamese Restaurant on 107th is easily the greatest Nammer fare this side of the Pacific Ocean.
  • I don't know how the hell they do it. Partic since the place is run by a one-armed-man. Lost his limb back in Nam! And I wonder: How the hell do you roll springrolls with only one hand!? This man is a friend of my friend who I haven't seen in years. And he's a gawdamned genius with the Cha Gio va Nuoc Mam. Mmm.
• Five. Tonight was a hilarious walk down memory lane.
  • We chatted about the past. We speculated about the future. We ate, drank and were generally quite merry.
  • And yeah, I miss Edmonton a lot... like I already miss Vancouver. It's all for the best though. Such amazing experiences in these two cities.... I'm def looking forward to seeing where life takes me next. Hoohaw! I'm excited to get started — but not quite yet!! I've got a few weeks left to reminisce and experience the new things E-town has to offer. And you best believe I'm going to enjoy.
