…here is my request.
You don’t have to play it but I hope you’d do your best.
I’ve been listening to your show on the radio.
And you seem like a friend to me.

I too grew up in the generation of the Radio.
Well, I meant how radio was, in the 80’s and 90’s.

There were no iPods, no Napsters, and no easy iTunes
where anyone can download their favourite songs readily and easily.

Today is World Cancer Day.

Remembering all those who fought and lost.
Those who fought and won.
And those who are still fighting.

Hoping there would be a cure
At least in my lifetime.

I have always said,
Whenever I die, I am going to have a little chat with whoever invented this horrible disease.
They’ve got some explaining to do.

Kung Hee Fat Choy, my friends.
Good fortune to you all.

No, I am not Chinese.
I just want to greet my Chinese friends a Happy New Year.

I may as well be Chinese though.
Some people mistake me for one when they see me.

Have you ever heard of that saying?

“A face only a mother could love?”

I have that face,
and this is the Mother who loved it.

Happy Birthday, Mom!
We love you very much.

I haven’t been back in Ottawa in a good while and I must tell you,
I really don’t remember it being THAT cold.
And THAT much snow.

Holy Gods of Rock! I want this guitar so bad!
The Dragon print is the back design.

It’s a Benzaiten Telecaster, by Fender.
Isn’t it beautiful?

Alright.

You know how much I hated 2013
so let’s clean the slate.

I make no promises that I won’t be the cranky,
angry old man that I have become,
but I will try to update this site as much as I can.
And maybe with more music.

Hopefully with more music.
And blog posts.

I actually dreamt that I was playing guitar on New Year’s eve.
So maybe this would be a good year.

I hope you were with your loved ones when the clock striked twelve.
Because if you weren’t, then what is the fucking point in everything?

Best of the New Year to you all!
