I feel so omm(d) out... type type type. what can I say? type type type.
I was a bit let down and for awhile I wasn't enjoying myself. OM was exactly as advertised, but I still went in expecting something a bit different. I suppose the problem lied with me. I had fun, I want to go again, I just feel, next year it’ll be better as I’ll know what to expect.
Night shifts sucked, so that definitely added to the problem, though I met a nice girl from OCAD that was working the night shift with me (Riki) and we made a fire (no fires allowed) and got yelled at by our boss.. it was a bonding experience. Haha.
Gotta love the peace, love, respect everywhere. It was a total little tent society of it's own, everyone sharing food, alcohol, drugs, ideas, and everywhere a smile. You could honestly just stop someone and start talking to them, no weirdness, try that in the streets of Toronto... mmm and yet, I didn’t total enjoy. Weird. I must be messed up. Or just, not shallow enough to believe it was reality, in any way, sense, or form. Ya, I guess I was looking to escape the media culture for some good old nature and truth and real people, and instead just got one more fabricated reality. So I felt gypped. Ya.

"That was when I realized. I asked myself could some of what these people be talking about actually be dangerous? And the best thing I can do is stay close to them, track what they are interested in and either hack it or try to confuse the spaces in which they operate". - Rob Van Kranenburg
