A New Dawn

Welcome back!
That's mainly for me. I'm gonna try to write a lot because something's wrong with my space bar and i'm trying to ease it back into working mode.
Hopefully this works.

This past week I was up in lovely Vancouver, B.C.
The home of Pastor Abe and his new wife Soo... Han? haha weird
It was a great wedding, one of the only places where so many different types of "love" are on display
Love between man and woman, between man and friend, between man and family, and between man and God
Where else are you going to be able to be in presence of so much love?
Anyways, yeah, this wedding was pretty sweet, Pastor Abe and the gang were so hospitable and welcoming in spite of the immense amount of stress i'm sure was surrounding them throughout that week
This week made me extremely fearful of marriage
But at the same time, I think one of the most memorable moments that I had this week was listening to all the speeches that were given (especially Pabe's brother Dan)
The central focus of family just felt so right to me listening to Dan and Soo talk about family and how they were all getting a new sister or brother, it was awesome
You can't fake that kind of excitement

Vancouver is such a nice city, great food, nice people, crazy environment
I tried Japadog for the first time and it was delicious.. 7 dollars delicious? not so much... u make it 3-4 dollars, it's probably one of the greatest creations ever
Actually had a lot of japanese food (sushi, ramen, Japadog)
Canadian people are so nice, u bump into someone, they're the ones saying sorry
I was told that there once was a pigeon on the road, and a man was turning into said road, and instead of continuing on, he brakes and starts honking at the pigeon to get off the road.. haha, that's such a fun story to imagine happening
Canadians are nice, but they are crazy.... one time we were walking the streets of granville, and we see these 3 people dancing on a balcony, we see them and start waving.. all they kept saying was "haters gonna hate"
I absolutely agree

I wish i had been more active with my camera, unfortunately i thought it would be more of a hassle so i just kept it in the room
Speaking of which.. our hotel was sick... the Pan Pacific had such a nice view.. even from the side... it was amazing to see how many people we could stick in there.. hah it was like a clown car..

i've come to the realization that my space bar is probably never gonna get better, just need to wear it out...
Gotta love the MBP.. it has been an integral part of my life
I can't ever go back to PC
Yes, i said it....
Crap....
I'm a sell out
O well... well worth it

Finding good music has become more and more difficult
I hate having music that you can find on the radio on my ipod, i find it almost pointless
It's like visiting China and having McDonalds for dinner... yea it's familiar, and you can't go wrong with it.. but really? mcdonalds... in CHINA? get my point?
Unfortunately, it seems like less and less good music is becoming available and we are stuck listening to the same ol song over and over again....
Music just seems to be getting more and more repetitive... I honestly couldn't tell you the difference between a lot of "musicians" today... kid cudi, b.o.b., taio cruz, flo-rida, they all sound the same to me now...and that's just one genre...
Just like me, more and more artists are selling out to pop.. which is a shame when u consider why, you hope, many of these artists went into the business in the first place..

I can't lie though, that new Nicki Minaj song (Your Love) is BOMB
I think it has to do with the sentimental feeling i get whenever i hear that Annie Lennox song in the background (no more i love you's)

Congrats to all those who are getting married.. wow..
