Victoria Day!
 
Anyone have big plans for the long weekend. I get to finish a project and study for an exam, which I write on Tuesday, yipee.

But then I am done school forever.

Hope everyone has good, much needed long weekend.

I might go down to one the Islands, but I'm not too sure yet. Otherwise, I'll be stuck at home reading for class, which is on Tuesday.

I was supposed to go to Niagara Falls, but I'm a little poor right now.

I'm just going to hang out here, watch some movies, hopefully the weather will be nice so I can go outdoors.

I went there once. They have a nice little bar district. Some guy jumped one of my boys while he was taking a piss.. Can't remember the name of the place. It was a strip club..

I want to say the Brass Rail, but I'm pretty sure that one was in Toronto.

We were pleasantly surprised when we stopped there because we were too sick of driving (from Oklahoma) to keep going. Nice town y'all have there.

it's a holiday where we celebrate Queen Victoria's Birthday. It's quite often refered to as "May 2-4", there are fireworks and crap, but mainly it's an excuse to pick up a 2-4 of beer and get drunk.

Victoria Day:

In Canada, the celebration of Victoria Day occurs every year on Monday, prior to May 25th. It is the official celebration in Canada of the birthdays of Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II. Victoria Day was established as a holiday in Canada West (Now Ontario) in 1845, and became a national holiday in 1901. Before Victoria Day became a national Holiday, people had celebrated Empire Day , beginning in the 1890s as Victoria approached her Diamond jubilee in 1897....


In modern times, it is a kick off to Summer. Many people head out of town to open up their summer cottages/cabins. I usually go to Whistler, but decided I will be more prepared for my finals next week if I stay in Vancouver, versus partying in Whistler.

This weekend marks the opening of all the outdoor swimming pools, water parks, etc.

I shall face the North, put my hand over my heart and sing Oh Canabis!

Wait...
