"So let's face it this was never what you wanted. But I know it's fun to pretend, now blank stares and empty threats, are all I have, they're all I have..."

Thursday night my sister and I went to the Danforth Music Hall to see City and Colour (Dallas Green of Alexisonfire’s solo act). It was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. We were lucky enough to be in the third row on the floor of the small theatre, but truly there wasn’t a bad seat in the house, and it wasn’t a fancy show of lights and effects, that’s not his style. It was an honest, low maintenance performance reflective of Dallas’ character. It was mainly Dallas and his guitar. There were a few times when he had drums and bass to back him (2 members of Attack in Black who opened the show, who knew they were in City and Colour as well?) He’d crack a few jokes, tune his guitar and almost effortlessly unleash such a powerful voice upon us. I was blown away; I could have listened to his voice for hours. I’m so glad I was able to see such a great, bare bones show. Free from rocker ego, pyrotechnics and hype. I think this kind of show can only be pulled off by true artists.

As for other aspects of my life, it looks like the move is on. I will either be moving elsewhere in Toronto or home to Hamilton by months end. I am seeing one more apartment today, and if that doesn’t work out I will go back to Hamilton in an attempt to save money and pay off the enormous debts I’ve accumulated during my 5 years of education. This will make for one awful commute, but such is life I suppose. Going home would also help me in saving money for my prospective trip to China next summer. However, this trip is not guaranteed and would make my life much easier if I knew for sure, but where would be the fun in that right? The guessing in my future work life continues, stay tuned…
