"I believe in science. I believe in evolution. I believe in Nate Silver, and Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Christopher Hitchens, although I do admit he could be kind of an asshole. I cannot get behind some Supreme Being who weighs in on the Tony awards while a million people get hacked by machetes. I don’t believe a billion Indians are going to hell. I don’t think that we get cancer to learn life lessons. And I don’t believe people die young because God needs another angel. I think it’s just bullshit, and on some level, I think we all know that."

"IT HURTS TO WATCH LUCY LOSE THE DREAM. I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF SEEING OUR HERO KICK AND SCREAM, AND WHEN SHE CALMS DOWN, I'LL TURN THE SOUND DOWN, AND PUT MY ARMS AROUND THE LITTLE LOST AND FOUND AND I'LL TELL HER THAT, 'I WILL SHOW YOU ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW, YOU MUST HOLD ON TO ANYONE THAT WANTS YOU, AND I WILL LOVE YOU, THROUGH SIMPLE AND THE STRUGGLE, BUT GIRL YOU GOTTA UNDERSTAND THE MODERN MAN MUST HUSTLE."

BEAUTY IS EMBARRASSING.

"Artists and creative people are people who make beauty.. Follow your heart and your pleasure in art. Don't do what you think is going to be making you money or what your parents want you to do or what that beautiful girl or guy thinks you should be doing. Do what you love, it's going to lead you to where you want to go. Go out there and make the world a little more beautiful. I know you can."

IT'S OVER, DON'T YOU BELIEVE, IT'S OVER.

How did I get here without feeling anything? Stay true, see it through, they say. Tick tock, time just slips away.. and when the air is clear, the way I go is the way I feel.. I'll go away, I'll go away, I'll go my own way.. This is my anthem. I know it like I know everything. I see it everywhere and in everyone. It's complication, it's validation.

WHAT 'CHU SAY?

"THE INNOCENCE WE HAD, HAD GOTTEN TAINTED YEARS AGO. TOO JADED TO ADMIT IT THOUGH. WE GET FADED TOO, FORGET IT, THEN SOBER UP, KNOWING IT'S STILL TRUE."

FOREVER MY FAVE FIREWORK IN THE SKY.

"Hey, this really is the greatest country in the world. We just like to help people remember that.."

-DAD.

Every Canada Day, I get super emotional. This past week has been a real test to see just how well I can maintain tears and laughter.. at the same damn time;) It's so easy to admire someone who gave back to the community. Someone who put on a firework display, gave out free hot dogs and burgers, free drinks, simply because.. they loved the community, and this country. I'm even luckier to have had that person as my dad.



Canada Days without you just aren't the same. Forever remembering every single thing you gave me, every single firework, every single hot dog, every single smile.. and by smile, I mean the ones you gave to thousands. You did that! You showed such love to complete strangers, and I owe every bit of kindness in me, to that.

If I could ever become even just a speck of what you are.. if ever I am JUST that, just a speck, I am thankful. You are the most amazing man to ever have graced my life, and I miss you more today than ever.. these tears keep coming, but I use the moments to keep every memory alive.

Happy 145th birthday, Canada. The greatest country in the world.

WHEN THE NIGHT FALLS..

"BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT THE IMPRESSION YOU MADE ON THE FIRST TIME I MET YOU. IT STAYED WITH ME FOR DAYS, AND NOW I WANT THAT FEELING BACK, BUT I'M NOT SURE WHERE TO GET IT. DO YOU HAVE THE ANSWER TO THAT? .. AND YOU SAY IT'S ALL JUST FUN AND GAMES, BUT OVER THE PHONE IT'S NOT THE SAME, SO.. LET'S TRY TO CROSS PATHS."
