I was pleasantly surprised when my friend recommended we go here for dinner. Only a few short blocks from my home and i always seem to forget it's there. First off i saw some great photos from an artist under the name of Block Photo. Printed directly on canvas in small accessible sizes and reasonable prices. Secondly i was greeted by a gorgeous waitress named Amber.. who managed very easily to keep both mine and my friends attention for the evening.
Thirdly Beer.. tasty, fresh, and lots of great unknown options.
And lastly Food. I felt like Fish so i caved and got the Fish and Chips which was delicious.. beer battered with home made tartar sauce with yummy golden french fries and a salad with dressing you want to keep licking off the plate.
So success! Am i going back? Hell Yeah.

You brought me back

"Wolf Like Me"

Say say my playmate
wont you lay hands on me
mirror my malady
transfer my tragedy

Got a curse I cannot lift
shines when the sunset shifts
when the moon is round and full
gotta bust that box gotta gut that fish

My mind's aflame

We could jet in a stolen car
but I bet we wouldn't get too far
before the transformation takes
and bloodlust tanks and
crave gets slaked

My mind has changed
my body's frame but god I like it
my hearts aflame
my body's strained but god I like it

My mind has changed
my body's frame but god I like it
my hearts aflame
my body's strained but god I like it

Charge me your day rate
ill turn you out in kind
when the moon is round and full
gonna teach you tricks that'll blow your
mongrel mind
baby doll I recognize
you're a hideous thing inside
if ever there were a lucky kind it's
you you you you

I know its strange another way to get to know you
you'll never know unless we go so let me show you
I know its strange another way to get to know you
we've got till noon here comes the moon
so let it show you
show you now

Dream me oh dreamer
down to the floor
open my hands and let them
weave onto yours

Feel me, completer
down to my core
open my heart and let it
bleed onto yours

Feeding on fever
down all fours
show you what all that
howl is for

Hey hey my playmate
let me lay waste to thee
burned down their hanging trees
it's hot here hot here hot here hot here

Got a curse we cannot lift
shines when the sunset shifts
there's a cure comes with a kiss
the bite that binds the gift that gives

now that we got gone for good
writhing under your riding hood
tell your gra'ma and your mama too
it's true
we're howling forever

BC Pride

There is something so compelling and bang on about this recent tourism add by Tourism BC. You gotta be here. Right now i feel like snowboarding in the powder, go kayaking, and maybe taking a surfing lesson. You can do that all in one day. What country in the world can you say all that in one sentence?
