So I’m trying to get my passport so that I can go down to the States and have lots of moped fun, right? Well, apparantly the documents I had are no good at proving my Canadian citizenship so I had to re-apply for citizenship (even though I already have a citizenship certificate), notorize a bunch of documents, talk to an immigration lawyer and pay a crapload of money. I went from $490.00 to $0.36 in my bank account doing this today. Luckily, I can still afford to go (sort of) because I have been hoarding money away for something like this and I still have all of it. But the people at Passport Canada are bastards. Total and utter bastards. Not that the Americans are any better with this stuff, but really, I have so much identification it’s ridiculous that just because I wasn’t born in Canada I have to go through all this garbage. Oh well, at least I can pick up my travel documents on Monday. I was really scared that I wasn’t going to be able to go and I’ve been looking forward to this trip so much. I’m going down to Indiana to ride mopeds with Bryan and his gang and it’s going to be a blast. I can’t wait. Now at least I can relax a bit providing everything is ok on Monday when I pick up my travel document. I won’t get my actual passport for later, but this is good enough proof of who I am for the American border. What a day! And to top it off, my green Garelli totally overheated on the way home. I’ve been driving it around like crazy all day trying to get this legal stuff taken care of and it’s just too hot for that.
