It was worth it

One return flight home from Osaka to Toronto: ¥103640 (roughly $990 CDN)

It's worth it.

In November, Lynne and Larry are coming up for two weeks. And I'm getting paid for it.
In December, right near the end of my second contract, we're given two weeks of off time. And I'm going home for it.

So get all the gear you need for a celebration, because I want to give you all a reason to celebrate. I'm coming back. And Toronto will never be the same again.

From there, the remaining money I've accumulated here will be spent in every little corner of southeast Asia that I can find. If all goes according to plan, they'll be enough money to get me started up again in Vancouver. Because the west coast has never seen the likes of me before, and that's where I need to live. At least for a little while. Maybe some more school. Or some nude modeling. Maybe open a vegan restaurant or two. Get back to acting.

Acting. Can I do it? Sure. Will I? Probably. But, unlike the aforementioned two-week vacation I'm taking across Japan with my parents, I may not bet getting paid for it.

And that's A-O.K. Because it might be the one thing in the world that I could do for free and still feel the need to do it, no matter how deep I find myself in the red. Passion.
