Where is home?

I find it hard to fathom the thought of having one "home." "Where are you from?" is hard question for me to answer. I mean, I was born in Alberta and although I do not really like what Alberta has turned into, it still feels like home to me. When i lived in Alberta, I was in the mountains literally almost every weekend. I miss that more than anyone knows.

Norquay is my home simply because my family and friends are here. It is a good place to come back to. If it wasn't for me moving to Norquay, I would definitely be a different person. I have been blessed with great friends, and family. For this I am grateful.

Winnipeg has definitely treated me well. There seems to be a sense of beauty in the fact that there is dissonance when it comes to Winnipeg. Beauty in the imperfection.
Although different these places may be, they still hold a sense of home in my heart.

I still have a week left here in Norquay. Although I do not really feel like going back to the ol' prov hole right now, im sure I will soon.

Peace.

Bush League....

Tonight i had the privilege of watching a good friend of mine play a good game of rec hockey. Now, in Norquay our rink is known as the "polar dome," this is due to the ridicerous temperatures that this rink can reach. As a bystander, there are no heaters just carpets on the bleachers so you do not freeze your arse off.

The team comprised of friends from high school, some guys that were a few years older than me, but mostly just farmers. Now, in between periods i went inside to warm up. And as i did, one of the guys who plays on my friends team walks outside to his truck, and comes back with a case of "Pils" as it is commonly known as around here, or also known as "Pilsner." It's good to know that this town is still bush league. Right on.

Peace

It will be good....

It will be good to be at home again. As much as i trash talk the town of Norquay at times, it was a good place to grow up. But i think that is mostly due to my friends and family. It is a weird thing being with the same 5 or 6 guys all the time doing the most stupid things we could think of, to being in a whole new community of people.

Im looking forward to being able to drive like a jackass in Norquay once again, maybe get stuck a few times. It will be good. Im sure i will miss Winnipeg though, i have taken quite a liking to this city.

Peace
