Life's truest happiness is found in friendships we make along the way.

A Weekend in Toronto

Life just continues to be incredible - seriously.

I spent Friday night in Scarborough with my lovely friend Shannon. Our conversation lasted into the wee hours, and, per usual, we broached all of the important topics - love, life, happiness, religion, politics and men!

On Saturday morning we made our way to Chris' house, (after a little bit of a mapquest detour), met up with Chris, Rob and Graham, and from there headed into the big city!

I've never really been a fan of Toronto. As far as cities go, it's a little too big, usually dirty and never quite sure of its identity. However, on Saturday it was alive! The Street Festival was on on Yonge Street and there was music, street performers including Paolo that unintentionally threw glass balls and fire into the crowd, he may not be invited back!
There were also some comedians from Second City that were doing live improv. The boys suggested that they would do a much better job - and for the remainder of the day they proved this hypothesis!

Despite missing the beginning of the Weezer concert, including "Say It Ain't So" (possibly the only song that I could sing along with) the concert was great. I think that we would have felt a better vibe if we had been on the grass, but after walking all day, the seats that we had were mighty comfortable!
The Pixies were really good, although I wish that the female member of the band had had the opportunity to sing more - she was incredible.
The evening ended with fireworks from Lake Ontario Place that were absolutely beautiful!!!!

We finished off the entire evening (after the longest 2 block walk ever - thank-you Graham) at a nice little pub!

Quotes of the weekend include (and please forgive me for lack of explanation, some are better left up to your own interpretation):
"20 women, bam, bam, bam..."
"Phenomenal.."
"You'd have to move pretty quickly..."

Anymore that you can remember gentlemen??

Oh, and yes, Sunday morning included a delicious buffet breakfast.

To sum up - incredible weekend, incredible people, lots of laughter!
