Hi all... first post, bear with me.
While the Viewaskew flicks did not bring about a Homeric anagnorisis (sp?) deep within my soul, it did get me thinking about my own neighbourhood, that of Ottawa, the eerily dinky capital of Canada. I'm sure if Kev would live up here, he would probably get a deep chill through his spine, and not only that one that causes Canadians to shriek: "'Ts bloody fucking cold here, eh?!"
I work. I'm not a Clerk, I'm a federal gov't employee. Today, I played Minesweeper, ate white cheddar popcorn and picked my nails with some poor sod's pen cap, then returned the pen a false idyllic Samaritan. I go to school at a local university (Yeah yeah, go Ravens, yada yada yada), and do very, VERY little and still pass off nearly straight A's. You see, Askewdes, as odd and... uh... skewed? as your universe is, I live it every day.
Worst part is, it doesn't suck.
Jason, I know three guys who fit the personality archetype of your Brodie near perfectly.
Mosier, that guy who works the Shwarma (never could spell that correctly) place around the block, the dirty one, looks like Grizzly Adams too.
So what's the point of this?
I want to that the Askewdes for inspiring me to chronicle this god forsaken frozen yonder that life forgot, but that I have not. Probably won't be a movie, but could very well be a book.
Thanks y'all
Mike!
