The Good Fight.
September 18, 2009
Well, I put up the good fight, but Old Man Winter is winning.
Summer is done.
Having such dark, cold winters as we do in Montreal, I think we develop an unconditional love for summer. Road trips, BBQ’s, weekends at the cottage. All three were personal favourites of mine this year, and here are the highlights.
#3
- McDonald’s breakfast feast.
- Almost getting into a car accident because of someone’s new glasses.
- Seeing my Dad, and wishing him a happy birthday
- Getting absolutely soaked in thunderstorm
- Listening to hard rap I forced on people a democratically elected list of music on the drive back.
#4
- Delicious BBQ treats of all different types.
- Creative use of an empty 2 liter bottle coke bottle and other house hold items.
- Two separate conversations of people talking shit about me at the table, at the same time.
- Seeing most of my good friends together at the same time
# 5
- Weekend at the cottage with 4 good friends.
-Weekend at the cottage with good friends + a dozen or so 16-17 year olds smoking more pot then Snoop Dogg in 1993.
-Ruling over said horde by both Machiavellian methods – Fear and Love.
-Sitting indoors, listening to generic alternative rock, playing card games, feeling old – but in a good way.
-Making delicious food every night.
-Being in cottage-ish situations which caused us to ponder out loud: “…this is how horror movies start…”
If you have something cool that happened this summer, feel free to post under this. I wanna hear whats went down these last 4 months. If its winter where you happen to be (thats for you Australians), tell me what happened this winter…I guess…

The coolest thing I did this winter was run a 14km fun run. With the atmosphere and the good company (I ran with my work buddies), I didn’t realise that I actually cut my foot some how until I got home o_o
Our winters aren’t as fierce as most of the countries in the Northern Hemisphere, but I still hate it. I’m glad things are finally warming up.
The coolest thing I did this summer is not playing FF which in turn led me to do a bunch of stuffs – stuffs I’ve been meaning to try and do for the longest time. But since everyday of the year is summer here, I guess my list of cool things to do continues!
Still planning to do many things, one of which is making a BBQ party sometime. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated, as it’ll be my first attempt on the event. Here’s to hoping that it’ll be a success! x(^.^)x
> one of which is making a BBQ party sometime
make sure the only set of firelighters in the house isn’t five years old and it doesn’t look like it’s going to rain
also, if the “Pet” says it’s too early to fire up the BBQ, don’t listen to him and start it up anyway.
in fact, i think the only thing they should be responsible for is turning the meat.
also, BBQ chicken wings marinated in sweet chilli sauce over night is yum
major l o lz to pot smoking… and other illicit substances..
