YAY FRIENDS!!!

     It’s been a while since the last entry. Nothing much has changed up here in the wild north other than the moustache is gone. Some people said it made me look like a drug dealer and others said adult film star, so yeah…thought it might be a good idea to shave.

I have been learning a lot though, about people and myself. Like I’ve mentioned before the culture up here is very different than anything I’ve ever experienced and it is sometimes hard to prevent myself from being dragged down. Not that I am better than anyone up here, it’s just that a lot of the guys can be a little negative. So to be surrounded by that and also have my own problems, doubts, fears and uncertainty….it can be tough sometimes.

Recently one of my new friends who has gone through a period of trials began a new relationship. I was filled with so much gratitude and hope that I wrote a song. That was the first time in a long time (like more than 10 years) that I have written anything for/about anyone….and to top it off it came out as a country song…YIKES! At least my mom will be happy with that.

Still quite disappointed about the lack of wildlife I see as I drive out on the ice roads. I guess they all hide when they see me coming.

My best bud Chris, came up to inspect how this project is doing and we did some serious reminiscing…had a great two days together and can’t wait till I move to the city so I can hang with him and his AWESOME wife (wrote that in case she reads this..but she IS awesome).
Tune in next time for updates about Lonnie and his love-life (warning….could be some PG material in that post).
