Jimmy "effin'" K

sometimes one draws inspiration from a great quote, a personal story from someone close, a tragic world event.

sometimes it comes from a carefree couple who just stops in, wants to say hi, and makes one feel right again. to serve as a reminder of how life should be lived, the person i should be - want to be. don't take this the wrong way, i don't want to be anyone else. i was just reminded of a different time and place, a different me - one that i need to find and be again.

mandy and james came to visit me this week, and honestly, they made my summer. just a night with two amazing, true friends is all it took. we went to the PNE and i just enjoyed being there. we randomly looked at the displays, missed half of the place, and left early. we came all the way back home, set up thier camp, and then just sat at the park 'til 2 or 3.

the next morning, i pushed some limits of what "I'll be a few hours late" means at work. we relaxed until after 11 in the tent, then made an awesome breakfast, and tried to plan when we would see each other again. with lots of hugs, gropes, and some running around half naked, i finally pulled myself away to go to work.

i guess the real crazy adventures will have to wait til edmonton.

i know there are more of you out there. great friends i have made in the last 5 years. some in edmonton, some who have moved on from there now, and more now that i have been here in chilliwack. and there are some from well before edmonton.

i hope you are doing well. i hope that we will see each other soon and catch up. i miss and love you all!
