I was at a wedding in Barrie on the weekend with Liv. The bride and groom, some friends of ours by the names of Stacey & Matiss, got married in a pocket of wilderness known as Camp Saulaine, or translated in english, Camp Sunshine. The weekend was filled with wondrous delights. It was a Latvian wedding, which gave me the opportunity to witness firsthand some of the interesting traditions associated with Latvian custom and culture. Out of all the weddings I have been to in my life, I will definetely count that as one of the most memorable.
It took me about 7.5 hours to get there, and it took Liv about 5 hours to get back. I hadn't done a road trip like that in a while, and it reminded me that I am less than stellar with directions to some degree. This was compounded further when I attempted going to pick Olivia up at a resort that the bride had taken all of her close friends to. I got lost in the woods of Barrie, in the night, and at one point, had ventured into a small rest of cottages that bewildered me. You know when you get anxious and begin to convince yourself that you'll see your destination if you just look hard enough? Well that was happening. I drove down some dusty road, and finally came to a stop in front of what was obviously a cottage completely made out of wood logs. Although all the lights were off, and there was what was obviously a hunting truck in the front lot, I came very close to getting out of the Jeep, knocking on the front door, and asking where the spa was. After doing A-team twists and turns through the woods, and then finally finding my way back onto a road, Liv and the bride drove me through the directions, and I finally found her. Phew...
Anyways, back to my post...
At the wedding, our friend Chris and I were discussing our candidates for the individuals we'd like to see banished to an island. This became a quickly interesting conversation. Although I didn't mention it, I want Tom Cruise on that island more and more each day. Especially as of late, he has been irritating me beyond anything I have ever experienced before. He is crazy, and that is part of the reason why I dont' think his marriage to Nicole Kidman panned out. Now that his current squeeze, Katie Holmes, who in my opinion hasn't done anything worthwhile except for that Sam Raimi movie, The Gift, is converting to Scientology, they are the new "it" couple. Tom Cruise tries too hard, and the ever elduing Oscar that he so desperately seeks has made him come across as an insane and desperate man. I think he has the capacity to be a good actor at times, but his burning cocky attitude gets me fuming a lot. Good turns...Mission Impossible, Minoriy Report, and Born On The Fourth Of July....and that is about it. Maybe TAPS, but that doesn't count because he was like 13 years old.
Other candidates for my island...
2. Lindsay Lohan.
3. Paris Hilton
4. Halle Berry
5. Anna Nicole Smith
Why can't everyone achieve a level of fame like John Cusack, and stay there forever?

Hey, I was looking for Olivia's blog, and I found yours! I think what you said about our wedding was very nice. I am glad I'm not on the list to be banished.
Bad news. Ever since the day you and Liv told me how much you love the piragi, I've been saving one for each of you, and one for Tiss and I. I kept forgetting about them, and now they're mouldy. Boo.
