A post in waiting

(I wrote this post a while back.... so it's probably old news by now... but hey, better late than never. )


Bonjour, mes amis. j'ai pensé je practice mon francais, parce que j'habit ou Quebec. Yeah right, like I have enough French vocabulary to write an entire blog. So, given my time constraints (I'm off the movies soon) and lack of vocab, let’s just get straight down to the nitty- gritty. As some of you already know, Nick and I have decided to apply for my permanent residency as common-law-partners. That’s right, I said it… we are applying as a couple who have, for all intents and purposes, combined our affairs and lived together for more than a year… “to the extent ‘Married like’ ” Now, I’ll be completely honest here, this verbal admission of our current situation wreaks of the word commitment. This is further compounded by the arrival of the 5 year Anniversary. Not that I’m getting nervous or anything, rather, that such longevity serves to highlight the aging process. Well, OK... maybe when I was 19 and whistling at random boys, I cant say I pictured myself in a relationship such as this; living in Canada and applying for residency as a 'Common-law- partner'. Although, it's crazy to think how much life can change because of a 'chance meeting'. This thought occurred to me as I sat on the side of a snow covered mountain with Skies attached to my feet.

Along with this temporary suspension of consciousness, I realized that without change, without difference we can become stagnant, stuck.

So, I suppose, the best way to outrun the ageing process is to live beyond your years.
