North

Dear Toronto,

Do you care about the well being of others better than this place? It seems the further north you travel heads gradually lower themselves from the clouds. If you go far enough you’ll encounter free health care, better energy policies, and frost. I don’t miss the cold but it took a paradise for me to realize I was happier suffering in the icy vastness of a northern town. The job market was for shit but I never had to worry about people driving like animals just because their pretentiousness was more swollen than their fame.

I’m tired. I think a lot of us are. What are we doing? Seriously, what are our priorities now in 2007? When did our looks, money, and possessions become more important than kindness, patience, and love?

I fall short. But there are no examples to follow here. You have to make the effort or else move to where you don’t have to sell your soul just too uselessly try hard. I hit the nail right on the head.
