so, i was a little pissed off yesterday...did it show? i hope not. it just gets to me sometimes..this city-or town. i'm no city engineer and would never think that i could do his or her job better than they but for christ's sake...this town is being torn-up at an alarming rate. main street is all fucked, camibie is undriveable at most times of the day, section of the west side are terrible, etc..why not just tear into granville while yer at it...and a lot of this is due to the RAV line that will be coursing down cambie street..and why? because the rich folks over on the west side didn't want to use an existing rail line that runs down the arbutus coridor. it's bullshit and it's the same in every big city in the world. so we end up spending x-number of times the amount of money due to the NIMBY attitudes of the wealthy..shit, i sound like a hippie...and the skytrain is a joke at best...years from now we'll look at that shit running down lougheed highway and other sections of the lower aminland and think, 'shit, we fucked up...that thing is some kinda ugly..." all the while it has ruined neighbourhoods and lowered property values...nice work. there's a reason for subways...and really, ghow many people really ride that shitty thing? this town is a shithole...i love it, it's all mine, i live here...but come on...our priorities are all screwed up...the olympics? really? more important than healthcare or schools or ....name it. the downtown east side is a mess, granville street looks terrible, the drug dealers are running the downtown...beautiful vancouver? really? tell me that great northern way is beautiful, the area behind the american hotel on main street near prior, main and hastings, gore and powell...really? beautiful? come on..who are we fooling? ourselves? fraser street? what do i know?
anyhow...enough ranting...nice day today ...rain. more rain. if it doesn't improve i think i may have to hit the road again. i see no film work in the next little while so...why be here..? my new couch has shown me even more defects so i have to deal with that i suppose...i'm woking on a couple new painting...which will be as bad as the first but it's something to do while it rains...
here are a couple more leftover pics from apex...new photos from around town tomorrow...
love and kisses...
