This is a really beautiful letter you’ve written. I randomly found your blog, surprised you’re from Vancouver and am quite drawn to your writing. It’s refreshing to hear how expressive a man can be. Cheers.

You make a good point, and I wouldn’t have ever thought about it that way…but trying to be better is “needy” of us. I always think of “wanting more” as tangible things, but this is so true.
Improvement is good, but hopefully it won’t take over people’s entire lives.

Thanks for sharing your blog with me Pius.
Some good stuff you’ve posted here. Deep, sentimental, valuable…
Keep writing man. There’s a lot of people who could get a lot of “food for thought” from your experiences in life.
Sincerely,
Allan

I’ve been in Vancouver for 6 months now, at first I though ” yeah, they probably don’t like immigrants that much “, but after a while I figure it out, it is actually a problem even within locals.

I don’t really know what to think, I don’t like to rush a judgement, but last time I manage to somehow talk to a girl in a bar, after a cold see ya, I ran to ask her was what the problem? Am I to brown? Do I look weird? – I mean I haven’t had such a hard time dating women in Barcelona, London or LA.. places a lived prior to Vancouver…

She just told me, “if a girl is not attracted to you she wont talk to you, its the same all over the word” – I don’t know if you guys see the problem here! first, I don’t think she has left Vancouver ever, Second: so can’t men/women actually have a normal relationship now!?, we can’t talk, be friends, share a conversation or a drink if you are not a “Reproduction prospect” Isn’t that objectification of women?

It just seems crazy to me, I have good girl friends.. I mean FRIENDS I have had no intimate relations with them and yet they are valuable interesting people in my life, how is that bad?.

Most relations I have in Vancouver so far resembles this mindset, you become friends because a mutual interest: business, professional or social position, if such interest is not present: “There is no point in friendship, robot must turn right, important maters in hand”

I don’t know if there is a connection here, but Seattle, SF and Vancouver are Tech / software power houses, having being in the 3 before, I found kind of the same behavior, tech is cool and all, but common we ain’t iPhones yet.. chill a bit, explore your human side.

Wishful thinking for Vancouver to be hospitable like the east. Vancouver is a beautiful city by has a lot of ugly souls in it. There is too many socially stupid people that think being snooty is a trend and an in thing. I do not get it or understand why because it is in all age groups and all income brackets. Vancouver needs to go to church and read the bible and must stop looking down on others. Vancouver becomes a suppressing place to be living and makes you want to look for another place to live.

I’ve read a few just right stuff here. Certainly worth bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how so much effort you put to create the sort of wonderful informative web site.
