Rediscovering this blog

Oh my. I cringe at the grammatical errors and intentional de- capitalization of every single post. What was I thinking? I attempted to edit a couple but, in retrospect, that may have just made the date weird (like I would ever write like that now) - fifteen years later. Here's hoping I will finally fall asleep soon...

This is my new blog:

check it out!

or don't... either way, that's where it is.

it's a hard-knock life...

do you ever get theme songs from movies you haven't seen in ages stuck in your head? this seems to happen to me all the time, this again occurred the other night in particular when I was at work. some "annie" theme music was running through my head (provided it was the middle of the night and I may have been a wee bit on the delirious side) I also had the overwhelming urge to watch this movie again, in addition to other kids' movies that I haven't seen in a while such as the little mermaid, and robin hood and quite possibly even aladdin. where I work it is a bit loud and I wear earplugs so I can pretty much belt out whatever show tune I want without anybody even batting an eye, however when they sneak up from behind you it can be a little disconcerting as I don't really care for anyone 'catching' me whistling, humming, or singing "tomorrow, tomorrow" as I work.

as I was wishing I could relive a bit of my younger years in watching some old movies, I decided that why stop there? what I really want to do is go home and sit in my living room in the middle of the floor in my pajamas watching tailspin or ducktales or something while eating captain crunch or some other such cereal that is filled with excellent nutrients such as sugar and artificial colouring. then play outside all afternoon; hide and seek, cops and robbers, tag, red rover, street hockey, the possibilities are really endless... then another thought came to me... I wonder if anyone would want to lend out their kid to me for a day so I don't look like a complete moron for partaking in these activities all by myself at my age, (unfortunately I know of no such person who would rent-a-kid for the day nor a child who is hyperactive enough to keep up with me) then after eating the classic lunch of peanut butter, jam and cheddar cheese, with ketchup chips and kool-aid of course, I'd stay outside for another round of activities. then when the day is finally over and I'm about to retire for the night, I would read my favourite kids' books like the berenstain bears, dr. seuss, jillian jigs and her wonderful pigs, and maybe some golden books, then go to sleep. it's just been one of those days...

okay so maybe I am the only one who wishes I could be a kid again (not just for one day though) and anyone who may be reading this are thinking, 'wow, you are wack', sorry guys but I really don't care... I am what I am.


oh yeah, and I did watch annie tonight, and it really is a hard-knock life, but there's always tomorrow.

what to say?

okay so nobody informed me that blogger has hooked up with google... this was most helpful as it reduces the amount of passwords I am required to remember seeing that I have immense trouble in the area of memory though still feel as if I need a different password or two for everything. this blog has been a long time in coming a lot has happened since I last posted: I finally graduated from college, the fine institution which I attended gave me a nice folder thing in front of a bunch of people that hey you've been here for four years... here's a sheet of paper with your name on it, (as if I didn't learn that in kindergarten...) but I'm not bitter or anything...

After finally being released from doing hard time, I went home... then relocated... (apparently some people thought I was part of the witness protection program, though I can't say much about that.) I got a new job in which I get to stay up all night long and make 'stuff' being careful not to get maimed or killed in the process. I have applied for citizenship, was fingerprinted like a common criminal near a correctional facility, and will hopefully start flight school after I am sworn in (provided that I'm not deported and/or incarcerated).

As I looked through my previous posts, I realized that I reference snow a lot, or the lack of it, and figured, why break tradition? currently the weather conditions are not complimentary to those of us who like to snowboard, though I am attempting to go today, (for the last time this season), regardless. This is my ode to all the snowboarders out there:

We like the cold, we like the snow,
but most of all we like to go,
speeding fast over terrain,
miss the rail and feel sharp pain,
Through the woods and through the air,
we don't care if skiers stare,
the powder's fresh, my butt is cold,
somehow this sport never gets old,
I like to fly, I like to race,
to feel the wind biting my face,
so my hat's off to all those who,
like to ride just like I do.

Well, that's all I got for now, I'm out, keep your board on the snow...

testing, testing...

I did it!!! once again I cracked the secret code that is my password, so now if I feel so inclined I can blog here. If you want to keep up to date on what has happened the past year that I have neglected this thing you can check out www.liketohelp.com this is a site where I wrote random stuff about my internship in Suriname. I have actually neglected to write on this site also for about the past three months so any news you hear there will be old news.

In more recent news, I tried to give blood today but was told not to come back for a year because I was in a country where malaria was a problem and they didn't want my blood due to the possibility that I may have contracted it. This was a little annoying as they had already pricked my finger by this point but I was told that my blood pressure was excellent, my iron was good, and I have good blood-giving veins so I am planning a trip for the new year so if anyone would like to accompany me in giving the gift of life, let me know. Well, I'm going to stop here because I am being summoned by my bed which has been neglected for the past couple weeks.


and yes I know this is a lame post, but you have to start somewhere right?

got some time on my hands...

I got some time on my hands so I figured I would get some words out of my head: classes have ended, finals are over, and I am waiting for my seminar to begin... now am I quite bored and don't quite know what to do with myself... so I am sitting in the lounge and it is 2:22am as I am typing, I am watching 'stunt junkies' on tv which is very educational for me, helpful tips such as making sure emergency medical personnel are on hand to assist in case you screw up when flipping over a moving train on an atv while your mother is watching...

so I packed some more today, the last night of ball hockey was fun, minus the fact that my left side took a beating, I got pegged in the shin, quad, and arm, all within ten minutes of each other, I'm sure they will bruise nicely in a few days ;)

wow, I have noticed that commericals have gotten much odder as of late, some of them are funny but for other ones you just sort of sit there as your jaw drops because of the sheer stupidity of it, either wondering what on earth was that just advertising, or 'boy that gives way more information than was really necessary'...

ooh, I realize that it is Thursday now and that I get to come home in exactly a week, (which I have been told is approximately seven days) yay!!! oh my, today is become tomorrow, I think I will say goodnight so this is me signing off... and just like a radio show at the end of the night, I'm out...

it's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood...

Ok, so it’s been approximately fifty-nine days since I last attempted this blogging thing... it’s been so long I had to check to see what exactly a blog was... Anyhow I have since enjoyed my Christmas break, a youth convention in Boston and have returned safely back to school - it has been a really eventful few months...

seeing as I have a really bad memory I will start with today (slash last night), then attempt a reverse chronology from there...

IT SNOWED!!!! If I could say stoked in multiple languages I would, but I cannot so I won’t... there is an abundance of that fluffy white stuff on the ground now and it is finally starting to look like the great white north and I am now beginning to feel at home here in the mother land... I don’t use words like pretty or beautiful often when referring to frozen H2O but I can definitely say that the snow looked absolutely beautiful today, I don’t know if that is because there has been such a lack of it as of late or if it was just the way the sun was shining on that wonderfully frozen tundra, but it was a sight to behold...

alright, that was my attempt at a reverse chronology, (if that’s even a word...) and I have barely covered today so what I said about my memory was apparently truer than even I realized...

I am still doing the same job here at school as I have done since my freshman year (for those of you who are interested and even for those of you who are not) but there has been a welcome addition this semester to the dish-washing staff (Kaylan this section is dedicated to you...) as I was working one day with this “rookie” dishwasher (and I just say rookie in the sense that you just started, because you are like a pro at drying every third dish... ;) lol) she mentioned that I have not blogged in a while so I told her that I would write about how fun it is to work with her every Thursday at lunch and the occasional weekend... so this is me writing about that, disregarding her hopeless attempts to injure me on the job and put me out of work the time certainly flies when I get to work with her because it is fun/amusing/really dangerous to work with this particular individual...

as I am writing this I am resting on my tri-colour elbow (which happens to perfectly match my lacerated knee) and I remember what I did this weekend... I played basketball, it, unfortunately, was our last scheduled game of the season (I say scheduled as I hold on to the slim chance that we will have post season games) for those of you who may think basketball is a sport in which you can’t possibly get hurt, have I got news for you... you can!! if you’re playing basketball and don’t have any war wounds, then you’re just not trying hard enough... or maybe you are just really good and unlike me didn’t inherit the ‘wowiamaklutz’ gene...

well, true to form I am now procrastinating on some homework that I really should be doing for tomorrow so I guess this is the end of that, (whatever that means...) farewell, parting is such sweet sorrow... but that’s only because I feel this obligation to go do work, seeing that I am at an institution in which learning takes place...
