An Introduction

I learned a long time ago that simplicity is key. With that in mind I have decided to keep my posts simple and clean. I reside on the Westside of Vancouver, B.C. I have lived in this city for eight years. I have had the same roommate for many of these years. We have enjoyed many a late night discussion on everything under the sun including but not limited to the age old question about the purpose of our existence and why unicyles are so popular all of a sudden. We have been friend since '94 and enjoy competing with each other in such activities as tennis and making salads. I enjoy wearing khakis two to three times a week in the summer. I feel about 40 years old when I wear them and I love it. There's something to be said about strutting your stuff in 28 degree heat in 100% cotton khakis. I will blog about this. I will also blog about what's hot and what's not in terms of popular music. I may venture into other avenues. Or I may not.

So a few things about moi:

I take French class once a week because I think it's got a great sound- and it's totally oldschool and you can't fuck with that. I also feel I should embrace Canada's second official language. On that note I should mention I am somewhat of a Canadian nationalist. But only because I think it's so hot to be one right now. I took a trip to Montreal last summer and it was heaven. But I felt like a fool for not understanding a word.

I enjoy a good song. Scratch that. Reverse it. I love a good song. Further to this, nothing beats a good verse... except maybe a good bridge. Like many people, I enjoy deconstructing songs and taking a few minutes to see what they're all about. But really, it's difficult to find a good bridge out there. They are few and far between. But if you have the time and want to hear an amazing bridge- listen to Avril Lavigne's skater boy from 2002. This bridge will take you out on a Friday night and treat you right. Like you deserve.

I try not to discriminate against musical selections. There are some amazingly catchy songs from Britney Spears. I feel it is my duty to blog about those gems. And that's exactly what I'll do. I don't care for a bad attitude. I am a firm believer in looking at the good things in life. Like that story about Jesus and the dead dog: Even though the dog was rotting and was quite smelly- Jesus said something along the lines of "his teeth are remarkably clean." That's what it's all about. Clean teeth and a good attitude.

And finally, I am sure I will be blogging about the East Coast of the United States and everything it entails (that is of interest to me- namely lifestyles of the oldschool preppies and anything nautical including Nantucket). I recently took a trip to Washington D.C. and loved it. Take the trip. You can thank me later.

I hope you enjoy five minutes with Cam. For me it's all about putting it out there. So you dropped a couple of folky seventies verses at the office, I would want to hear about it. And in return, I hope you would too...
