Well well, looks like I'm about to hit the old 24. "Old" being the main word there.
Just a quick note while I notice how amazing my life has been this last year. I celebrated my last birthday in Whitehorse, with an awesome package from my family in the heat of the Oiler's playoff run (I know, I'm not supposed to mention it), under the gaze of the ever-flowing sun. In fact, if I recall correctly I ended up in a garbage dump, check the old blog to see, it's actually quite an amazing story.
Anywho, after Whitehorse came Shambhala, then Vancouver, then Halifax, then Montreal, Toronto, and St.John's, and now Vancouver again. Whooooo. Now that's a well lived 365 days in my books.
When I left for the road I know it seemed abrupt and crazy. I certainly knew that as I stood at the side of the elersley exchange in Edmonton waiting for a ride to who knows where. But I had felt the weight of three wasted years upon me so heavy I felt running/travelling was the only way to be alive. And it has worked, regardless of the down times that necessarily came with life without a home.
So it's been 2 and a 1/2 years of sweet life, days filled with exhilaration and wonder. I am happy to be a year older, not wiser, but well spent.
Happy 24th birthday to me, but 25 is looking sweeter and sweeter every day,
Nick

Happy Birthday, Fucker
Happy National Pirate Day, o wait it's just your birthday.
P.S. Do you remember how I always said that "Part of you World" would make an awesome punk cover, well it has done by the irrepressible Sky Sweetnam.
