I almost forgot to mention: Luke, Paul, Jeff and I have our first show after about a year and a half hiatus as a band. We are going as "The Backseat Firestarters", and we are playing on Thursday November 16th at The Coach and Horses. We are opening for a band called Time, who our friend Carey drums for. Should be a good time so hopefully i see a lot of people there. |

Only a month left of this semester, i'm finished on december 11th woohoo! Two final projects and an essay to do between now and then, so im going to be rather busy. Which is fine, i've gotten used to this life lately. Lonliness doesn't help, but I know i'm not the only one going through it. I just though it might be different this fall... but women often say things that just lose all meaning after about a month.
Note to self: Never get excited about anything, especially if it involves women. Why haven't i learned my lesson? I should never get excited about a woman or expect anything cause i just set myself up for a letdown. I guess i was kidding myself thinking anything would work out over the border, despite being reassured I kinda knew it wouldnt work.
Whatever, being single is fine... in fact i would like to do it for a year or two, but i pretty much know that wont happen unless i tried.
I can't wait til the spring though. After school is a trip to europe! I'm beyond excited for this, and have waited a long time it seems. After that i think im going to be moving out west to Alberta for the rest of spring/summer to work at a resort hotel. I am kinda excited to get the fuck out of this place, and spend some time in a place where nobody knows me. I can go hiking for miles and miles and see no people i know, no buildings... just landscape. Needless to say i really hope this works out.
Thats all for now. |

Goddamn, too busy to ever write in here. Sorry to anyone who reads, im still alive, im just running around a lot. I should also apologize to some friends... i've had to blow some people off here and there and i don't usually have time to make phone calls. I didn't realize the time i would have to invest into my artwork... this week i finished two huge projects, one was late. Im actually supposed to be going to the studio today to work on a plaster cast, but Teresa hasn't called me yet. I definately miss some people. I'm probably going back to Aylmer on Sunday, because we are having our thanksgiving dinner on monday. Yesterday I had two hockey games back to back... auughhh soooo sore. They had to be scheduled like that because of the thanksgiving weekend. We ended up losing both games, but i scored in the first game from a nice pass infront of the net. My skating legs seem to finally be coming back; the first game we had last week was pretty shaky compared to yesterday. Anyway i should get back to doing something... |

Well life is slowing down a bit, maybe ill write something in here for all you loyal readers (hah, like anyone reads this). The art program is pretty exciting, and im really enjoying myself. I always find it kind of funny when people ask me what i do and i say visual arts... people are never quite sure what to say to an artist. They either tell you about the one time in their life that they were creative, or they walk away. Anyway i can already see improvement in my art from just a few classes. Hmm what else is going on, hockey starts in a week or two, i registered this week and a few of us are going to attend the captains meeting tonight after we jam. I guess thats about it, if anyone knows a good place for a job tell me cause i need money!

Finally a chance to write something, seems about time because so much has happened, is happening, and will happen. Im finally done my job, and I moved back to windsor on the sunday before labour day. There have been quite a few blurry nights so far, but also some very memorable ones. The Bar has been a meeting place for old friends this past week, and going there is always a blast. I met a really cool girl from detroit somewhere in there (tuesday the 5th to be exact); meeting and getting to know Dee has been an exciting and very romantic experience. My first class is on this coming tuesday, and i am really excited for the new major. I'll make another entry on this thing when my life comes out of fast forward though. |

Well, first weekend in a while that im not going down to windsor. I need to save money though, i have enough for school but i need to buy hockey equipment. The long weekend was fun, got to see some people. Went to Fort Malden for their little event with jyll, it was pretty fun because ive never been to fort Malden, and i haven't been to any kind of reenactment for a while.
This weekend is the Aylmer Fair. What a bunch of shit, i think it gets worse every year. The demolition derby last night though was very entertaining. The rides however, were less than impressive. The most thrilling part of some rides was that you thought you were going to die because of how unsafe they seemed. Tonight has a few possibilities, getting drunk is a must though. There is another demolition derby at the fair tonight (the smaller cars one), and there is also the BX93 Dance; and as much as i hate country music, those dances sometimes get crazy with all the drunk people from high school that i usually run into. I guess i'll have to post again to describe tonight, but for now i must go wash a car. |

| long weekend! |
[Aug. 4th, 2006|03:16 pm] |
Well shit the bed... its the long weekend already. So happy Canada decided to give us a holiday this monday. I'm heading down to Windsor for the weekend, taking a bus at 5:15pm like the last 3 weeks. Jeff is coming this time though so at least i dont have to sit beside some wierd person on the way down.
Hmm what else, I went to the Mandarin the other night, stuffed my face lol. Those chinese really know how to make a buffet.
The farmers tan is coming along nicely, i was starting to miss it when i was working inside at the pita pit last spring/winter hehe.
Two movies i cant wait for: Transformers, and Teenage mutant ninja turtles. Those will be awesome.
TTFN. |

Woohoo! My passport finally came in the mail. Now i just have to save some cash, and ill be headed to europe next spring... can't wait. I've been to almost every state and province (well ive been to all provinces, but no territories), but i have never been on a airplane let alone across an ocean. Should be exciting.
It rained pretty hardcore the other day during work. I was driving down to Rodney following another guy i work with because he had to drop off a brine truck, and it just came down in buckets, i dont think i could see more than 25 feet infront of me. Any other day if its not wet, it is hot as hell. Kinda a crappy summer i guess for working outside.
wow... exciting life i live eh? lol, hopefully something more significant happens soon. Civic holiday is coming up at least, and ill probably take a trip down to windsor for the long weekend. TTFN... |

Summer is going by pretty fast. Only like a month and a half and ill be back living in Windsor... which won't come soon enough; starting to get stressed out a bit. Work has been pretty hard, definately exhausted after most days, the heat is killer. Goes by fast enough though i guess.
Ma'mere (my great-grandmother) died a few days ago. She was nearly 100. It's kinda sad... because although i didn't get to see her too often, she did remember my name whenever i did have a chance to visit her. Time has a way of eating away at your family, and although death is omnipresent, it has always been a little shocking and depressing to me.
Hmmm what else... looks like a screwed things up with the gal i like... seems like indecision and anxiety got the best of me, and i overthought the whole situation. I guess going back, the simple words: "be my girlfriend" would have sufficed, considering that is now the last thing she wants. I told myself i would be careful after how things ended with my last two girlfriends, but i think now that i've been a little too careful; things seem to have totally changed. Ah well, i can't beat myself up over it, or continually try to convince her something is there. There will be tons of new people when i start my new program at university this fall anyway, and im not one to dwell on things.
I'm glad it stopped raining or i might have to cry... heh just kidding; it's just been a rough few weeks thats all, and not many people care. Stay tuned, perhaps ill update again soon. |
