I went to a movie tonight since the folks had plans and frankly I was feeling a bit bored. I went to the theatre with no idea of what shows were on, other than Eclipse, which I knew I would be running late for. I got there and decided on "The Grown Ups" with Adam Sandler and a bunch of other funny guys, not to mention, Salma Hayek. It was pretty funny, for sure a "dude flick" if that genre exists, but enjoyable light little piece of work for a last minute movie watching experience.
After the movie, I stopped into the Bulk Barn, to browse a little bit and see what fun things were there that I could get. I was walking home and had some time before the stores were closed. In the store, I ran into George d'Eon. He's a friend of my parents and father of a former classmate, and lead guitarist for the band Wintersleep, Tim d'Eon. I got to chat and get to know George a little bit better this Fall, when both of us were volunteering with the Nova Scotia Music Week. He is one of the coolest guys I know in Yarmouth; incredibly honest, friendly, trendy and fun to talk to. He's also staggeringly generous and helpful, he seems like the type that would offer you a kidney if he found out you needed one. One day when he was visiting my dad at the office, I called for a ride and he showed up to pick me up instead. He was waiting for a meeting and knew he was less busy than my dad, so when he overheard my request, he insisted that he come give me the lift, to help both me out and my dad who needed the extra few minutes to prepare for a movie.
While wandering around the Bulk Barn, we ran into each other around the grains. I was scouting out some quinoa and picked up some bulgar to try it out, we chatted for a few minutes about these grains and he ended up picking up some Kashi flakes to give them a shot, prepared like oatmeal for breakfast. He seems to live his life in a very open way- open to people, open to new experiences, open to new music (during Music Week, he shared some serious praise for Stone Mary that he checked out at one stage and was thoroughly impressed by). I like his style of living and embracing the world and all of the beautiful things that is offers us, when we approach it with an open mind. Enjoy the pictures!
