Shits and giggles mate. Its all bout the shits and giggles.
That said, havin had the shits lotsa times it aint no giggling matter.
I was a welfare bum back in summer of 92. Had a welfare check party at mine on a Saturday night. bought a case of beer, 12 for Sat. night and 12 for Sunday as at the time the Beer Store was not open Sundays. My buddy shows up round 2 am and asks me to sell him my Sunday beer. My response was that he could not afford to pay my price. He pulled a wad of 20s from his pocket and assured me he could. Where did you get that I asked as he was a welfare bum like me. Running with a rickshaw down town says he. I started the following Sunday. It took a couple weeks to get the hang of things but after a while I was making the equilavent of my monthly wally cheque on a Saturday, blowing the money as fast as I was makin it. Was going to a booze can down Collage and Dovercourt in Toronto at the time. I bet Mr. Harvest knew the place. Anyway the season ended and there was no rickshawin in winter at the time so back on welfare I went. Next season my earnings went through the roof as I knew what I was doing and had no problem whatsoever asking tourists for big time cash. My consance had gone out the window! That summer I saved. Still went to the booze can, still did coke and acid and all that but I also saved. In the fall I came up with this idea that I would travel round Europe on a Eurorail pass and had a kickass time, so much so that I did the same the next year. Then I went to the mid east. The year after I decided on Africa. I would fly into Nairobi and back from Joberg. Saw DP2 at the book store when I went to buy a guide book and after reading it both Uganda and Rwanda were added to my list of countries to be visited on that trip. Been travelling regularly since.
Im reallly fuclimg pissed but fespite that I can still hit a tarfet at 1000m plus. mayVRVe bnot tonight but it qint beyond the wit if man. Nowhammy.
