A case for Toronto.

Ok, so living here doesn't suck all that much. Sure it's impersonal and huge. Sure you might get lit on fire by Anarchists. Sure people have absolutely no regard for traffic flow. Sure there are more pigeons than deemed holy. But you know... come on.

Alright so I'm not making much of a case for it, but I can say one thing. If you ever want anything, and I mean anything, you only have to walk ten minutes. I mean the other day I said "Hmmm... I would like a new telephone." Five minutes later I'm in this shop on Yonge street looking at phones. A lady asked me where she might find vegetarian food. Having no clue where anything non meat related was I scanned my surroundings, pointed vaguely in a direction, and she later thanked me for sending her to the best vegetarian restaurant ever. Luck? I think not. Toronto undominateable will to have easy access to absolutely everything bordering on ridiculousness? I think so!

Also, I do like the fact that I can get literally anywhere by walking down the nearest set of sketchy looking stairs on the sidewalk and getting on a magical train that bears the name of a well known sandwich shop. Seriously the first time I road on Toronto transit I went down there looking for a turkey bacon club. I did not find one. I was dissapointed, yet glad to have discovered a secret underground conveyance. Unfortunately everyone else in toronto seems to have discovered it as well. This creates space issues.

I do, however, like how you pay for a ride, much easier to take around than Ottawa's ever growing The Tickets, it's like a Toonie and a Loonie had a babie. So cute. And NO RYLAN YOU ONLY USE ONE.

Oh also Go Train. MAGICAL, I love it, gets you everywhere you need to be and so cheap. Mega bus is starting to get the idea there too.

So transit they've got going on here.... ya I'll get back to you when I find other things I like. Almost cried when I didn't see any Canada Day fireworks, but I got by because once I looked out my window and I say one explosion reflected off the window of the building accross from me. So I'll count that.

I miss my Jen. That's all I have to say about that.

Yah, when she moves here I think I'll have a stronger case for Toronto.

  1. Awwww...Jamikins...makes me sad to know you are lonely. Glad Jen will be closer for you but scared we will see even less of both of you. Praying that God will bless you and keep you. That He makes His face shine upon you and gives you peace.
    Love you my boy,
    Mommy
