The Naam


GREAT vegetarian / vegan restaurant in Kitsilano (Vancouver) and open 24 hours! The food is delicious, and I'd like to say the same thing about the vegan carrot cake with hemp icing, but unfortunately they forgot that. Going back tomorrow night though so we'll try again! The servers were very friendly, but also really busy. It's a really popular place! Even though it was full and there was a lineup, I still felt like my friend and I were in a small intimate little restaurant. so cute!

Nothing Else Matters by Metallica

Dedicated to Chris.

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters
