[Chuck Bronson]

In 1981, less than 7% of the population belonged to a visible minority group.  By 2008, this proportion had grown to 51%.

I was born at St. Paul's.  I still remember when white people lived in Vancouver proper...

It wouldn't be if you grew up around here.

I need to get my white on...  I belong on Vancouver Island, in a small white community somewhere where people are open, friendly, and can speak English.  This place has become 'cold'...



Don't get me wrong...  I don't have any hate on for the immigrants that have flooded in here...  They aren't Black at least, and generally don't cause me much problem.



Nonetheless, I am being 'suffocated' here now.  Too many people of ALL colours in general.  It would be nice to meet a chick with her shit together, with a similar vision and goal.  Always easier to make these types of moves with another person at your side.

I remember the first time I spent any real time in Vancouver. That was thirty years ago. It's not the same city anymore.

My Uncle grew up here, but moved to the Okanagan in the 1970's...  He rarely visits Van, as he has no reason to, but cannot believe how ruined it is here now...

Then  you need to get your shit together.  And work on your attitude.

These forums are just for fun.  Don't think for a minute that you can 'know' someone from a few pixels on a screen.  You cannot.

One thing that's good about being single, is you can be lazy and let the beard grow.  I don't always feel like shaving, and my customers/co-workers don't give a fuck what I look like!



The last time I sheared it off with the electric, I didn't even try to shave a sideburn (I don't do sideburns), but it just so happened I gave myself the funniest fucking boot burn by accident.  I should've taken a picture of the booter, but it kinda looked like this...

It's a trend.  My facial hair is a dirty blonde, and doesn't really look that great if I let it go for more than a few days...
