ah well, what can i say. i thought it was about time i wrote something new here. i'm not really a journal-keeping sort of person because i think i have a hard time writing a message to "nobody in particular." yeah, that's a lame excuse

i wanted big change this year, and holy fuck, did i ever get it. i live on my own now, for the first time. got myself an apartment just off ave. mont-royal, 3 blocks from the metro station. such an amazing location. i'm really beginning to like city living. i've been here about 3 months now, and it doesn't feel so surreal anymore.

living in my own, being on my own and making making a lot of changes to my lifestyle is really starting to have its effect. i feel more introverted, and i suppose, more in touch with my real nature than i was before. more calm too. that's not to say i don't still have stresses, but i'd much rather have these stresses than the ones i had last year. or the year before. i'm past the rocky start now, i've proven a few things to myself, and i consider this a completely new chapter in my life. i'm happy about this.

as such though, i've been busy. and i know i've been neglecting my creative side. i haven't taken any good photos in months and months... but the dry spell will be over soon. as all this snow melts away i'll wake up from my little creative hibernation. i'm itching to get out there... and i will relate my observations, my visions and my experiences to you in the best way that i can, using whatever i can. promise.
