Caribana 2009: Toronto Summer at it's best





Well ladies and gentleman its that time of year again. Where the ladies dress less and the fellas hit the gym with hopes of impressing these ladies on the parade route.

Over the years, I have invested tons of money on alcohol, marijuana, clothes and club tickets. I was caught up in the hype of trying to be "cool" and be "seen" by all the socialites around the city and from out of town.

With all the Americans boastfully walking around in their XXXL white T's, Cargo Shorts and White Air Forces it is almost impossible to not get caught up in the Caribana utopia.

As quick as it comes, is as quick as it goes? Then when the weekend is over and its time to go back to work, it hits you and you are left with empty pockets, a high credit card bill and the cold breeze of fall hitting the back of your neck.

I chose to be conservative and do what I can and enjoy being around family, friends and loved ones. I will leave the expensive club scene to the Americans, teenagers who are finally legal and young adults ranging in the age bracket of 19-25 or with a 19-25 mentality.

Cheers and everyone have a safe and positive Caribana,

SAX
