My Apologies to Toronto
Dear Toronto,
To the city that bore me, I’ve been a naughty boy. With no regard for your splendor, your beauty, your opportunity and your loving embrace I left you for your younger sister, Vancouver. And then to top it all off I two-timed Vancouver and got into bed with your mom, New York.
What happened you may ask? Well I was a fool living in the suburbs so all I saw was the sleepy side of you. I wanted more, for my lust was high and whenever I wanted to F$%& you after a long day of work you would be sleeping and it would really kill the mood. You got fat, and so did I.
So I went to BC and joined the gym, grew my hair out long and spent night after night windmilling my black locks on stages up and down the west coast as I sang songs of pain, not knowing that the pain in my heart was my longing for your embrace once more. But me, the stubborn one as always, would not accept it. Maybe it was a quarter life crisis? That would explain the motorcycle and leather jacket.
Then I met New York at a New Years Eve party and I left BC for her highfalutin tapas bars, Victoria’s Secret underwear, Broadway shows and street maniacs.
But here I have returned. I came back to write the LSAT and there you were, right where I left you. I was in a funk, man. Then you showed me your beautiful side. You showed me that people here don’t suck as much as I thought. You gave me new and wonderful friends and I feel like an idiot. You have music, you have the night, and you have people who don’t bore me to death.
Please forgive my transgressions and accept this blog as my peace offering to you. I know I may be leaving you once again in September for law school but you and I both know that I will be back and that I will never love another city like I love you. One day i will return and perhaps I will be your mayor to make you more beautiful, more mobile, more cosmopolitan. I will wed thee perhaps with a new and more extensive subway system that will connect all your parts together into one beautiful beacon of light for all the world to see.
I know that I may discover that I will be really sick soon but I got the feeling that you will see me through. Thank you for the friends and for being fun again.
I love you.
