- Going home to visit family & friends for a few weeks over Canada Day

- The heat, I so can't stand the heat
- Droughts suck too
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.
- Paul Morris, music director at 97.7 HTZ-FM

Bad:
My dog died, my truck exploded, every date we set for my band last summer/fall fell through (only 4 dates, but it still sucked all the wind right out
of our sails).
Good: I have a job, I have a happy family, I am able to put a roof over their heads. The band is ready to start kicking some ass in the very near
future.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

^^^^^^^ Ya this is definitely awsome around here too. I think is amazing how conforming the smokers are to this. No one bitches at least seriously
bitches. They all or most abide and go outside without any issues. Its weird. Before this happened everyone was talking revolt and boycotting. I
guess that is why they made it such a grey area for a year or so before instilling the law. Everyone just gave because they were unsure of when it
actually was to happen.

Highs:
That I have a wife who actually cares about me and two wicked smart kids (maybe too smart for me at times) that are normal, healthy and happy.
That I have a job, which enables me to put a roof over their heads in a neighborhood that is safe to grow up in.
That I’m in a band with guys I like and get along with and write music that makes my blood boil and remind me why I love hardcore.
Lows:
When this world even for a moment makes you feel like nothings worth a damn anymore.
