Dance 'til You're Dead

Sitting in an empty classroom on a friday morning, the azure blue skies and wispy clouds floating by idly as the sun shoots streaks of celestial rays across the riverside.

(above location not actually at SFU)

The university campus is so much more than expected, if you run away from the glassy dome buildings and concrete habitations.

There are gentle does watching you from easy distances across roadways, koi fish and their siblings exploring their upsidedown sky world, art students sans la bohemme lingering near their exclusive portable hastily built dwellings.

I’m still a little homesick for the vancouver carpe diem carefree life with travelling non-distances to art shows, conferences and street art, the surrey campus and their SIAT designer hungry crowd, that feed and gestate ideas on communication, interaction and c’est la vie changes of our world. Everything is changing again, another job and another crowd to assimilate into until the clock’s hands move again, but I think from the idle foreshadowing and prophecies of the previous two weeks.. that I can be happy here, too.

A few days ago I learned through a mutual friend on facebook that an old classmate, from our high school days, had recently died in a freak car crash while vacationing in Australia. I send my sympathies and condolences to his family and dear friends: he is a person whom no one ever had bad things to say, lived life cheerfully and expectantly, and will be missed.

He once added me on flickr late last summer and suggested we meet for photos sometime, which we never got around to doing. When I checked his flickr profile again today I realized he had had very few contacts (he was still very ‘new’ to photography) and had included me as a “friend” status (his ‘only’ friend in fact). I think right then and there my heart broke.

One of my close friends went to elementary school together with him, and had only just seen him the weeks before he left, making plans for a dinner rendezvous The memorial will be held at Bethany Baptist, Richmond BC at 3pm on Sunday February 15 2009. There is also an webcast link.

Highschool Graduation Memo:
“The journey is the destination. While facing the challenges that strike me, I look back with the fondness at the end of the road that has carried me throughout the hills of Cariboo Hill. My family was there in the beginning and continue(s) to enrich the adventure. I thank them (for) their generosity and their support. To those I leave by the roadside, smell you later.”
