so a ton of things have been happening as of late. i’m currently living in Toronto, Ontario and keeping it real!
i have an art show happening in 4 days that i’m both nervous and stoked about.
still miss my dog but i’m doing better with it.
things are going along fairly well & hope you all are rad :)

r.i.p spike, my big boogaloo. i picked you out of the litter many years ago and you slept on my bed every night warming my feet.
you were too cool to play fetch and you grumbled when i rubbed your left ear. when i used to come home to mom & dad’s house at 3am you’d come downstairs and sprawl with me on the floor watching cartoons and snore really loudly.
we went on adventures together in the forest, you defended me from a bear. i’m so sorry i wasn’t there for you in the end. i wish i could have petted you just one last time. i tried to spend as much time with you as i could before i left to come here to the west coast…
i know you knew how much i loved you old man.
rest well, dear friend.
xo.
what up internet?!
i’m in porto, portugal right now… but i’ve been all over in the past month it seems. amsterdam, ghent belgium, paris, madrid, barcelona, granada spain, malaga spain, porto portugal… we leave tomorrow for paris, then london & then brighton in the UK for a couple days and then we fly back to canada and land in vancouver.
we’re taking a month coming back from vancouver, going back to sault ste. marie where i live, in ontario.
this has been an epic adventure and i actually wrote about it in more detail on my travel blog - feel free to add it if you want to.
life has been intense, wonderful and fruitful for me in the past year. i’ve grown a lot, seen so many things and experienced so many absurd adventures.
i’ve been thinking a lot where i see myself in the next year and i think i’ll still be in the sault… i’ve talked about moving away and going out west and i think i’ll actually go forth and do that but i’m going to settle down and focus a bit in the meantime before i make that leap.
i hope everyone is having a good and fun summer so far. i look forward to taking some time when i have it and reading up on your journals & finding out just what you’ve been up to and what kind of trouble you’ve all gotten into, haha.
keep it up, and keep it rad.

12 days and counting down till euro-town.
life is fucking intense these days.
about to go grab my backpack with rihkee & my ISIC card from the university.
then come back here and pack like a mother fucker all day/night pretty much.
also, i got an email from jason segel yesterday. hahahaha.
it’s a long story, but i laughed pretty hard anyway.
again, life is fucking intense these days.
