Just a quick update on what been going on in the life of John.

Had a really great summer, lots of work and play. Took some time off teaching dance for the first time in four or five years. That was good for the process, coming back to it five months later with a clearer vision of what I'm doing with the dance. I've actually got a couple of guys in the class, thats nice, a few students that have been with me for a while and a few new faces. The bunch of them are dedicated and already coming along nicely.

The comic shop is a blast as per usual, longest 'day' job I've ever held down, lots of gaming and weird conversations. Remi's a great boss and competent, that helps...

Practiced poi like crazy all summer and learned some new stuff, looks like I might join up with a group of locals that want to do some street performance, mostly movement stuff, I'll be happy if that comes together.

Been shaking my head about the politics as of late. Both in Canada and south of the border. Foolishness all the way around, short sighted idiots who are so stuck on the way things were, or their pocket books, that they can't do shit for the things that we really need to be doing right now. Put down the fucking weapons, stop hoarding wealth and do something useful for yourself, your family and your community. The time of war is over, there are better ways to resolve differences and following greedy fools to exploit others is the path to doom. Stop listening to them, stop buying their crap. Find a cleaner, healthier way of life, do something beautiful for yourself, empower yourself.

...eh, bit of a rant, but I'll leave it.

Winter is a coming and I should finish off a novel this year, not to mention comic scripts, short stories and a movie script too. Suddenly things are busy and everything I've ever wanted to do in my everyday, ordinary life is unfolding. Sure, I've busted my balls getting to this point, and my mind and my heart... anyway, things are good. I hope all is going well.
