This post is dedicated to Sylvie
As of yesterday, November 14, 2008,
I am officially a bum.
It dawned on me while I was at a party — my pal Danny turned 50. There was a crowd of… oh… I’d say between 100 and 150 people, anyone who was there last night can correct me if I’m wrong. Beautiful people. I knew roughly 20 percent of them.
At about 10:00 pm, while I was talking to my good buddy Sylvie, I had an “Aha! Moment”: after 15 years of financial challenge, I’m now ready to accept the fact that I’m a bum — it’s time to take the leap of faith.
Since this is fairly new and since I’m too tired to draw, I thought I’d illustrate this post with a photo I took in one of the lanes, here in Verdun Beach. Appropriate, I’d say, since bums often hang around in lanes and I’ve always been fond of them — the lanes, not the bums. Not that there’s anything wrong with bums.
And here’s another appropriate bum shot: garbage.
It feels so liberating to finally merge with my bumness.
Thank goodness I don’t have to change my wardrobe.
P.S.: I also have this thing for brick.

On my way back from Outremont, last night, I was waiting at Lionel-Groulx station for the metro to de l’Église when I noticed the WARHOL LIVE poster.
They’re all over the place.
I thought the lighting was cool so I took a picture.
When I turned around, I saw Debbie Harry’s reflection in
the dépanneur’s door.
And I thought: This is how easy it is to feel trapped.
It’s just a perception.

Today, I had a great Ah-Ha moment.
I realized why it took me so long to figure out what I want:
it’s because I didn’t TRULY believe, deep down inside,
that I,
a) can have anything I want;
b) deserve everything I want.
This magnificent realization brought on a sweet breeze of fresh air.
Making it possible for me to finally start having FUN with
the whole manifestation process.
This said…
I haven’t quite finished filling my first circle, yet.
But you can see that there’s significant progress.
All is well, my friends.
All is getting better
and better
and better.

I spent the week in bed with the flu. Fever, migraine headache, nausea, diarrhea, muscle pain…the whole blah package. So I had plenty of time to think: why was it taking me so long to start working on my Treasure Map? What was holding me back? Why wasn’t I more enthused about the game?
It turns out, I don’t know what I really want.
Oh, I know all the “stuff” I’d like to have, but what good is “stuff” if you don’t know what you want to do with the rest of your life?
I even came to a point where I wondered why I was blogging…and where I was going with this website. Of course, I’ve always been one to start a project, get all excited, eventually get bored, and quit. Been there many times, done that every time. But this time around, I want to keep at it. Because I believe this blog is exactly what I need to finally discover who I am…and what I really want.
How about you?
Do you know who you are?
Le Making Of could turn out to be more than I expected…
