Hello people! First post in a while. Has been pretty busy for me and havent had much access to a computer. Been job hunting for bloody ages, traipsing around Vancouver with my cv. Nightmare. Have found a job in a coffee shop downtown. Its a start i guess. The past 3 weeks i have been living in the downtown area often referred to by the locals as the neighbourhood from hell! My place is just on the edge by Hastings and Main. Its a rough place, the poorest in all of nORTH America. Colourful.
The area is plagued by junkies, low lifes and general dregs of society. Its not really a hostile place, just very depressing. Have only a week left there before i move into somewhere better.
There are a few bars there, the kinds of places Bukowski would be seen drinking in.
Inside my place its all pretty new, not bad really. the people are cool. My room is a bit of a box however, the view from my window being a brick wall. Nice.
So apart from job hunting i have been reading alot (nothing else to do a at home) - Hemmingway, Bukowski, Philip K Dick. Nothing but dead guys for company.

Went to the university radio station and have training there in a few weeks. Hopefully you may be able to listen to me on the radio soon!
