Early Rise

I woke up at 8 am today, with nothing to do except buy christmas presents. Had a good weekend. Went to Fl0yd's Diner twice. A great place indeed. My pocketbook, however, cannot keep up the task of my overindulgent flights of fancy. I need to spend less. I hate the idea of opulent lifestyle right now. Actually, I've always hated it. I like the idea of just taking what a person needs, no more, no less, all the time. But that's so friggin impossible -- It's Christmas and I'm in one of the most expensive places to live in Canada. This city defines opulence like no one has seen it before.
A guitar, a studio, a small place to live by the beach, a garden or something. That would be nice. But I also intend on traveling the world. So who knows. I'm also not in Victoria for much longer, and when I look at this city through the eyes of its and mine own combined mortality, the intent is to go out and be wild.
Mainly though, money is an issue. Money money money. I should find a job. I have two coming up, but they're odd jobs. Meh meh meh.
Today I'm going to finish up the christmas shopping. I'm striving to purchase locally made goods for everyone, even though my family doesn't really give a damn about such things.
