Onwards and Upwards

Somehow I'm moving again, and I can't quite decide how to feel about it. I have the usual mixture of excitement and anxiety about what awaits me in Brussels. I'm really not sure what to expect there. This will be the first time in my life that I will be living in a primarily "foreign" environment, that is to say without a lot of Canadians in my social circle. Unless I fall in with the embassy community I suppose. In Korea practically everyone was Canadian, and last time I had all the study tour people. But this time, its basically just me and N. We'll see how that goes. And Vancouver/BC continues to grow on me. I really like this area of the city... and I feel at home. It makes me wonder about what the point of traveling around constantly is. Its exciting, and interesting.... but at some point I will have to live somewhere. I guess I'm still young, and I don't have to worry about it too much, and I've always been pretty good at playing it by ear, and so far its treated me well, so I shouldn't stress about it.

Also Kind of Cool. Watch it in HD on the site.

Fred Herzog

I like Fred Herzog, and I never posted it here before. He took a lot of Vancouver pics, mostly in the 50s and 60s. They're awesome pix of the people and places of Vancouver. I like that they seem like they could have been taken yesterday, and their vitality.

politcal stuff

I'm not dogmatically against religion, and I think that Hitchens is a bit too much so, but I think he lays it out pretty well in this video..



and this is a breathtaking interview with an architect of the Iraq War from 2002.

somehow I missed this one back in 94, but I think its pretty amazing.
