hey Raymi,
i just wanted to let u know that I read your book in one sitting… i love your humor and your outlook on life. Your writing style is easy for me to read…i like how your stories are all in first person like the way you did it….I have been procrastinating on the review I am waiting for the right creative moment and i want to use quotes from your book and stuff and my idea is to do a reiew on my blog..themn all my blog readers will want to go buy your book! I hope! Why wouldn’t they…come on if they have any sense in them they will. My only dissapointment was that it wasn’t long enough. I still love it though. I will read it again. I love your drawings cause they are just so funny they make me laugh..I can see why people would want to buy tshirts with your cartoon drawings and funy thoughts coming from the characters..you are so creative. I bet you helped a few people with your book. I have some issues Im dealing with myself and reading about your experiences kinda helps me put things into perspective in some sort of way. I really suck at explaining myself.

You sure have been through some tough shit in your life my heart goes out to you for having to experience some of those terrible things you had me in tears and then laughing and thinking of my own life too.anyway… i hope u are doing well these days and that u and phil are doing good and your meds are all working out and that you will eventually drink only 4 days of the week maybe even three! I wish i could meet you one night when we are both drunk cause then it would be easy for me to talk to you…otherwise Im pretty shy about that sorta thing. so let me know if you are ever in victoria…ill buy you a drink

ps im trying to care less about what everybody else thinks! why why why do we do this!!

there is this guy in the park every nite and sometimes in the morning and he is obsessive compulsive, he sweeps the entire park searching for drugs i guess and he does it every fucking nite and he totally shuts out the world. it’s pretty interesting but mostly sad. it makes me wonder where he is when not in the park, tweaking on someone’s couch? last friday he was on his hands and knees under the lamp post searching the same spot for an hour wtf. and he never looks up or around there could be gunshots and he would still druggily be searching with his hands all crouched over.

and then there’s the tall skinny white guy who changes his clothes against that little building and i have seen his dick at least ten times and his flabby flat ass.

ik.

Phil: you’ve seen his dick?

me: YES
i told u

Phil: i blocked it out
stop looking at dude’s dicks

me: dude
hes a homeless junky
nothing to be jealous of

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY:

yesterday we went drunkboarding for old time’s sake and i even knelt down and bombed down a slopey hill and didn’t land on my chin but at one point i did wipe out and my left hand scraped against the ground cos my jeans were too tight and i was locked in this crouching position and this little surfer-hair looking kid watched me do it and was impressed i could tell. i like it when 8 year olds think you are the coolest. everytime we passed this one house these drunks in their garage went WOOOOOOOOH and YEEEEARRGH. it felt like being on television.

also yesterday we played asshole and i won every game and they were mad because they had just taught me how to play and i’m all like BURN and you must be very annoyed because i am winning right now etc and so on.

we’re going to see metric tonite for the fiftieth time. yawn. i’m pretty bored of metric. yeh yeh new album out soon tra la, emily haines comes off as annoyingly bitchy and not even in a hot WOW SHE IS SUCH A BITCH kind of way that makes it cool, she’s just a straight-up pretentious seeming BIOTCH. and all the guys are mesmerized by it. fil calls her mrs. philogynist and every other girl singer out there as well. i’mma just stand in the back and wobble around drunk. we got guest list so that’s good. oh and jason collett is opening so that is good also. i have so much energy i need to go longboarding RIGHT NOW.
