Bryan Adams and Tom Cochrane

Cocaine Princess here.

Today is our nation’s birthday. Festivities will be taking place almost everywhere.

On my May 2-4 post (o5/15/09) I explained how the long weekend is celebrated:

1.

Jumping into the car and driving up to the cottage to sit by the lake and fight off mosquitoes.

2.
Heading into the direction of the nearest grocery store to pile the cart with an assortment of BBQ food and grill the day away. (Shopping is done the day before)

3.
Spending the entire day chilling out on a beer patio.

Canada Day is celebrated in the same manner with 2 more additional things:

4.
Everybody proudly displays the Canadian flag or the Molson Beer Flag.


5.
Just about every patio restaurant and neighborhood pool party will have 2 songs blasting out loud during the course of the day at least 10 times:


The Summer of ‘69 by Bryan Adams (Hmm, we all know this cheeky song has nothing to do with the year 1969.... PS. It's one of my fave Bryan Adams song next to "One Night Love Affair")


Life Is A Highway by Tom Cochrane


Because no Canada Day celebration would be complete without those 2 songs playing.



Both are great songs but no party is complete without playing tunes by Madonna, Lady Gaga and yes, even a little Danny Fernandes.


Part of my celebrations will include going to the movies. "Public Enemies" starring my favorite actor Johnny Depp who plays the notorious John Dillinger opens today. I plan to feast on popcorn, jube-jubes and since the cineplex doesn’t carry Diet or regular Dr. Pepper, an icy cold Coke.



HAPPY CANADA DAY!
