This blog's for ME

Almost 25 years old, asking my parents if I can sleep in their bed with them. I had thought I was going to be the 25th Prime Minister of Canada. Things had changed. 10 years later, I was still a scared little boy. The time had come to slap myself awake. One Saturday morning, November 19th, 2009, I declared to the world I would be riding my 10 year-old motorcycle from Vancouver, BC Canada to Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, and back.

The official departure was August 28th, 2010. A group of well-wishers saw me off at 8:03 am.

I arrived in Rio de Janeiro around 6 pm March 1st, 2011.



My return to Vancouver came on July 5th, 2011 about 2:00 pm.

Drug & alcohol abuse, ADD, social anxiety, health, chronic pain, night terrors.

So many concerns. But I am far more interested in this question: Do I have the capacity to make this trip despite all my shortcomings?

My mission: To inspire myself to face my fears, enlighten myself on how all living things can peacefully co-exist, enjoy every moment, and see the world as plentiful and generous.

Go ahead. Call me crazy. Call me anything you like.

I'm out to save my world.



I LOVE YOU ALL

Some days

Some days are easier, some days are harder. Today has been a frustrating day as I just want to feel differently than I do, I want to think differently than I do, I want to be different than I am. Just such an overwhelming state of discontent, of anger, of tiredness, of wishing things were better than they were. I know it takes patience, I know it takes everyday learning. For some reason, I admire Donald Trump and Gene Simmons. Even though I know deep down I would despise a lot about them, at least they are doing exactly what they want to do. I envy that power to just say "I want that", and to get it. It seems the only way I've been able to get out of my traps is to fully accept them. A big part of me wants to fight to get what I want, to achieve it, to push through, but some days, I just feel so much disease within myself, all I want to do is to cover it up, distract myself from it, kill it, get rid of it, demolish it. I know there are a million and one ways to do that; how many of them make the matter worse? Some days.
