    I'm going to Winnipeg to visit my girlfriend in 18 days, will stay there for a month. I know it gonna be cold, really really cold for a guy who has been living in Texas for the past 8 years. But I hope to at least go out and do something on New Year Eve.

    Any advice and warning is welcomed.

    I know I will be very helpful:

    Late afternoon, another day is nearly done
    A darker grey is breaking through a lighter one
    A thousand sharpened elbows in the underground
    That hollow hurried sound,
    feet on polished floor
    And in the dollar store,
    the clerk is closing up
    And counting loonies trying not to say

    I hate Winnipeg

    The driver checks the mirror seven minutes late
    The crowded riders' restlessness enunciates
    The Guess Who sucked, the Jets were lousy anyway
    The same route everyday
    And in the turning lane
    Someone’s stalled again
    He’s talking to himself
    And hears the price of gas repeat his phrase

    I hate Winnipeg

    And up above us all
    Leaning into sky
    Our golden business boy
    Will watch the North End die
    And sing, “I love this town”
    Then let his arcing wrecking ball proclaim

    I
    Hate
    Winnipeg

    -sit by a campfire.
    -sit by a furnace.
    -sit by a fireplace.
    -sit by a heater.
    -sit by an open oven.

    I think that's about it.
