Sep. 5th, 2006 @ 10:06 am Dear Andres, sorry for the bad news
Up until now, Andres's cottage party was the most unreal sick time ever! But well, Robs family threw down the sick dope jam and it rocked. Finally a weekend that felt like a vacation and zooom back to work.

Well, Friday rocked with MSN dinging me at work as Robs all "Im at my house desk!" WOHOOOO. Can't tell you how great it is to have you back man. Hell, I just may go out and buy a ....umm, I have no idea what I was writing there, Fargo just came in and I'm all distracted now.

Back to writing then shall we?

This weekend was great, it felt like all of our old cottage crews dynamic was there again, nothing but laughter and ridiculously good times with everyone. Just the way it should be :)

Arrived Friday with Rob and Andres to Robs cottage and the party started. Lets just some up a few days in a few words... never ending
party. The girls Colleen and Jess were pretty licked already and we contintued on that merry direction to the delight of the hot tub and other random party related events. Umm Saturday, some ATVing, more partying, Kawartha Dairy, ohhh, gosh, what never ending fun. The clam bake was sheerly outrageous, SO much good fun and INCREDIBLE fun. We all got up and karaoked our hearts out. Bohemian Rhapsody rocked, the End was ended to early, I was Adopted for Hey Juds (thanks whoever wrote that grrrr) the bobcaygeon crew rocked out and andres got spit all over. Boobies were overflowing and it was so much a good time. Thank you world. Thank you good friends. Thank you everything...I feel great! Back in the city with the lovely Fargo and living the good life. Welcome home Borobo!

Go world go... so far :)

Hi world! After a few days the bday has gone by and I'm rolling right along, my head will confirm that as it feels like it has been rolling for quite some time.

Where to start, bday simply rocked! I've been on a eating solid diet for days now and really need a break, its not that I'm getting fat just that I'm eating enough that I always feel like a balloon and not one of those ones with stretch left either.

Thursday nite rocked!! I hung out with fire boy and monkey girl, finally falling asleep on rack girls coach and arriving home at about 230... thankfully I came to work 2 hours late the next day so it was all good! Friday nite rocked to and Brian came over, he's been up north at camp for months and it was awesome to see him, we decided on some scout stuff and he's back en route to camp again...missing my bbq i might add.

Saturday rocked, I woke up not alone and then my darling and I set about the house putting everything in relative places. The rest of the day was spent cutting and organizing, Curti and Andre showed up around 5 and helped me put the last things in order.

Let me just say, TO MUCH FOOD! Ok, that rocked :) Everyone brought cool and compatible stuff. The crowd was good to, great Riverdale friends as well as those who would drop in and leave, people headed to sleep around 4am the last I saw and some other girls didn't stop talking all nite from what I've heard!

So many of my good friends couldn't make it and were away, like Colleen and Jess, Brian, Rob, Maria, DMP that it made me reallize how blessed I am to have so many great friends in this world. I'll stop there.

Let me just say that everyone rocks. Good times. Andres broke a chair. Funy weekend.

Haha peace world

Wow, after reading a friends journal I feel a little bit on edge... I'm trying to write more these days, then again, I'm trying to do a millions things all the time. Its my own decision but all this go go go go go AND go really means that I don't get a lot of personal time, I haven't had a day off that wasn't scheduled in over 10 months!! Not a bit of vacation but I justify it in so many ways lol.

Before I go on let me just say again what wonderful friends I have, from all different groups in all kinds of areas, good people everywhere.

As I continue, the reason that I'm online right now is to post something that I just read and was suprised to see, in particular on a CTV website, but I'm posting it anyways.

"The billions of U.S. arms and aid it provides every year gives the Bush administration substantial leverage in pressing Israel for a cease fire in its attacks on Lebanon," notes William D. Hartung, a Senior Fellow at the World Policy Institute.

"Other countries don't have that sort of cash relationship, where they go straight to U.S. corporations with U.S. money to buy weapons that are then used in the Occupied Territories and against Lebanon," adds Senior Research Associate Frida Berrigan, also of the World Policy Institute.

"And the great thing about this relationship with Israel is, Israel doesn't have to pay for itself. It comes directly from U.S. taxpayers in the form of foreign military financing."

The tight relationship between Israel and the U.S., the economic boon to Texas-based Lockheed and other U.S. weapons manufacturers, the silence from Congress and Bush's refusal to call for a cease-fire show the lack of opposition to the continued arms support from the U.S. to Israel is likely to continue.

"Bush could stop Israel in its tracks with a snap of his fingers," said Marjorie Cohn, president-elect of the U.S. National Lawyers Guild.

"But why would he? Israel is doing Bush's bidding and redrawing the map of the Middle East to facilitate U.S. domination. Bush began that task with Iraq. Israel is following suit with Palestine and Lebanon."

PS ROBOE, if you're reading this I hope you get your package soon...if you haven't already!

Did my company forget that this website used to be blocked? On a random whim I checked the link from my favorites and am delighted to have found my way through!

Hmmm what to say as of recently? Well, for one I'm going to read back through stuff and see where I was at the last time I wrote...it's like I'm visiting myself!!

Things have been oh so good recently! Lets see,
-I've been dating the beautiful fargo for the last 4 months, I may post a picture later but I'm not sure if I will.
-Dream Journey is still going forward, a major change towards the Cancer Society instead of the red cross is the major development, I've been bad at updating the site as life progresses but will make a greater effort on that for sure!
-Umm, a million parties, a million cottages, some tears and mostly good times ...yie, life rocks!!!

Love you world...I'll try to write more as I get more into this again...i hope :)

I'm just passing thruogh here, I've spent hours doing non work stuff today so I should do some I guess!?!

Lets see, everything is awesome!! YEP. Had a nice little dinner party the other night which was cool, Colleen Jess and Jesse were all over and Brian pulled off a pretty random appearance and dissapearance to!

Good times everyone...while I was looking for my resume I found this, thought I'd post it...

This is from sailling, I don't know when I wrote it other than it must have been near the start of sailing, fall of 2005?

I talked to my Mom and Dad on Monday, I put my Mom first in this because shes the one I know will miss me differently than my Dad. Dad has a respect for me that I've never known while Mom loves me crazy worried, its almost not fair to have so much love. The only thing I really regret about this possible adventure is a moment of pain caused to my parents who have given and continue to give to me more than I could ever rightfully ask.

I don't have much time to update today, other than all day but I have certain things I should do here at work in the morning first, and I'm well, let's get to the point.

I don't really mind work. I get to wake up, feel all clean and sober, work out, bike to work, eat healthy and then go home after a severe amount of socialization of all kinds (msn and verbal).

The depression I feel today is not for myself but for others, it's so depressing seeing people around 9am all signing on to their MSN, it seems so resigned, so given up, dare I say pathetic?

If I have a hero its the ones that are going to be signing on in 10 minutes, you know they arrived at work at 8:45 and spent the next half hour in line for coffee. So heres to my hero of the day, "that guy that shows up at work late but with a cup of Tim Hortons." He's my hero.

So I'm at work, day 2 or 3 of the parents being away and I'm still biking to work, haven't given into the car yet! Productive time to...I haven't even bought food or rented a movie once which is a so far so good situation especially since I cooked the first of 3 pizzas yesterday, the second this morning and yup, almost out of pizzas, one left, although my fridge and freezer is so overstocked that if I buy ANYTHING I'm way greedy.

Hmm, of note is that I spent HOURS last night redrafting my letter to the Red Cross and this morning I posted a very ambiguous letter which will probably leave them saying...what? LOL, I'm ready...I've got plans!

Umm, nothing really to much other interesting than that...just keep on going and don't look back. I'm still getting slack from the dancing singing lady who wants everyone else to be quiet but one step at a time baby!

WOHOOO.

Current Location: WORK?
Current Music: Puccinni - Musetta's Waltz
Not only is welcome to my life the name of my journal but today I will also announce that it is now an official feeling. But don't bother looking for it, it's unlisted.

I had a great weekend, Friday night I, umm what did I do? Oh, I watched some TV then read for a bit and went to sleep. YEAHHHH.

Saturday morning I was up real early, picked up the scouts and we did garbage pick up in the foul rainy wind that enveloped Toronto that day. Then I was productive until the evening when I saw The Sentinal which was pure American propoganda but probably ok since it builds their morale before they attack Iran. So I guess it's all good, for them anyways.

Sunday morning we were up and planting trees, the Scouts that is and it went really well with over a thousand people planting trees in one spot. Our troop were playing hooligans as we planted trees in a tree wall across a maintenance road, hopefully blocking vehicles from driving in the forest forever, we then proceeded to plant trees in the middle of a forest path to umm, for fun?

In the afternoon I ran some errands and saw "The Rocket" which was actually really good, impressive even.

Sunday evening I prepared my first letter to the Red Cross even further and it is now ready to go out! Today I find the whos and then they're gone.

This morning I got in real shit. Well kind of...

First things first though. I biked to work, did a 6 foot drifting power slide down a wet hill to avoid a car and then got to work, I don't know how I don't fall off the bike (knock on wood).

Arrived at work, dealt with after prank fall-out involving switching peoples desks around who left early on Friday and then moments later I was in SHIT. I was told by one of my colleages to leave their area which pissed me and some others off and then she came in to my office and asked me to not talk to the other girls because I distract them just by walking in cause I am a young attractive male. I felt like a chick in a short skirt, WTF can I do! Way to make the work place pleasant. It went on for a while including saying that I'm at risk of loosing my job because I don't even work here. bitch

Current Mood: better than yesterday hell yea
I have had a fucking crazy crazy morning!!

It all started at 6:50 at which point I rolled over, grabbed a book from beside me and read for about half and hour...ok.

Then I was out of bed and my mom was doing laundry which sucks cause I like to be on my own in the morning.

I was late out of the shower and bingo!! My nephew Andrew is visiting today so I said hello, received my mandatory car to play with and headed out the door. My mom yelled "be safe!" and I laughed a bit. Ever since sailing down the freezing northern northern atlantic in the middle of winter when all the marina dudes would yell "be safe" Pat and I would yell back "fuck safe! have fun!!" So I left, straight into a frustrating east wind.

As I biked on I realized I was getting later and later and then I turned the corner about a half k from work and there it was. GOLDMINE.

A road crew was working nearby and had parked their big flatbed truck ramp down on the side of the road, about 2 feet from the curb!! I biked by everyone and their truck thinking...noooo.

But my mind said yes.

I looped back through a nearby parking lot, raced back down the road, through the road crew...up the ramp of their truck and launched about 5 feet into the air, gapped the gap and landed on the lawn beside the sidewalk.

SO AWESOME!! I then biked as hard as I could away from the road crew who I had just passed through via air....ROCK ON!

Current Music: Stand By Me - Bruce Springsteen
I feel kinda sad now, I'm not overly sure why. I mean, everything in my life is so damned perfect it seems, but then again maybe thats my viewpoint and if I'm not ultra happy then perhaps everything isn't perfect?

I feel a bit lonely today and am debating stuff like if I'm going to be alone for the rest of my life. I dunno. These feelings are brought on by a couple of things but mostly thinking about my friends and how they seem so distant to me, in different ways to; also I know I am choosing a life of being on the move and for that I don't think I can ever commit to anyone and thats a little sad. In a sense I feel like I'm trying to change the world and its a big burden and I suppose I am and that it is. Also, the other night my great bud Rob went away, so many good friends were all gathered together that it felt like a cottage (lol). Colleen and Jess are going away even farther, Brian is going way up north and for a big change I suppose I'm the one staying in the city... what it's like to be alone with millions of people. Still, I know that I'm never alone as long as I have friends that love me, I just don't know what my near future holds.

My lamentations over, everything else in life is pretty awesome.

I lost 12 pounds since last night after dinner, thats kind of weird.

DAMN. I'm gointa play weekend in review and its only Sunday at lunch.

Right now I'm in the middle of an MSN conversation trying to help out my brother in laws nephew who is 17 and engaged to a 14 year old girl. After their 2 weeks of dating they're very much in love and thinking about making babies, if they can. I've tried explaining some facts of life ot them and I don't know what they'll do, it seems this is more than attention getting, odd stuff really.

Friday was awesome, it was full of hmm, lets go back a couple of steps. I left my house reasonably frustrated Friday and hung out with my old neighbours Hunter and Ian, it was pretty great and I really enjoyed myself. I had some great opportunities to talk to people who understand a little about canoeing and was offered some great ideas, in addition I was provided with real life media experience suggestions regarding press releases and stuff and am pretty damned encouraged. I remet a number of people at the maddy downtown toronto including a friend that just arrived from Ireland studying to be a doctor and another friend who spends his time flying around the world working on oil rigs, he offered me some encouragement at the end of the night that was really sincere, much about "just keep on going."

I was in bed at 2-3 and up at 7 for skydiving which was wicked fun. The weather basically sucked so we took our courses and then didn't jump, c'est la vie, next time. Thats all I'll say about that!

The evening made up for it totally though. I came home after skydiving and completly crashed for about 30 minutes, woke up at 6:30 to go to have an awesome easter dinner at Colleen and Jessicas. Realizing that there was going to be drinking involved I drank a good bottle of red wine in about 15 minutes and then collapsed into Robs van where his mom drove us to the party. I was buzzing pretty good when we whowed up and was quickly given the biggest wine glass I've ever seen. It was filled multiple times and I really enjoyed chatting and hanging out. We had great food and eventually we headed across the road to the park by which point I was really feeling good. I remember (i think) yelling at someone with a laser pointer and then Robs dad showed up and we were going home. I remember getting squished on the slide and lots of good times. Can anyone else fill in the blanks? LOL.

Then I came home, staggered by my family and went to sleep (passed out). YEAHHH SUNDAY MORNINGS!!

Also my Grandmother is here with us and we're going to have 9 people for dinner and moms been cooking all day....wohooo! WHAT A WEEKEND.

Wohooo! So, I have to start where I'm thinking. I just got off the phone with the skydiving school and it's on for this Saturday! Should be awesome and apparently as a second time jumper its like half price for me! WOHOOO DOUBLE (or half). So far Brian, Rob and I are committed with a couple of others saying that they will go as well. (of interest is that as I write this panic and the rebel emergency came on my mix and the last time I jumped was with Geoff)

So, for what you want to know. The girl at work and I tease each other a bit but I don't think that anything will come of it, for the betterment of everyone. Sometimes I forget the hierarchy of society, goooo stuff.

The weekend was awesome. My parents are going away to Ireland on the 25th (dunno if I wrote that before) and Friday night I returned and hung out with them at home. At about 10pm my mom came to me and my dad with some wicked Raspberry pie and says "if you're hanging out with the old people this is how we party!" haha. go mom.

Then Saturday I went downtown and had an awesome day with Dave, he bought a $143 hat at the only habadashery that I or he knows about and it is such a wicked Fedora (when folded down otherwise its just a hat) and then we went through Kensington Market which continued into a walk to the MEC area where I picked up a wicked knife for Rob at Marathon across from MEC. THE KNIFE KICKS ASS. Then we went back to Daves place, watched some Boondocks (so damned funny) and then saw slither which I thought was one of the worst movies I have ever seen although it was funny maybe twice haha, ok, it did have its moments. Then I went home, had dinner and was asleep, my party parents didn't even arrive home till an hour after I was in bed, geez.

I was up relatively early and enjoyed the no need to get out of bed situation that I was experiencing, including many re-rolls in the blanket and pillow over the heads.
Eventually I was out of bed and rolling into the day. I decided to go kayaking for the day got all dressed up. I put on my Farmer Johns wet-suit, sweat wicking champion-t and then my musto Foulies (foul weather gear) and was ready for the day, ohhh and I sported my way warm Gill rainboots which are so comfortable. I brought my outdoor survival gear, flare gun, double paddle and single paddle and was off. I went to the rouge park at the end of Lawrence at Lake Ontario and poked around a bit until eventually I found the remaining open stream area and paddled up the river, which was low and really shallow at parts. I came to 2 sets of rapids which I slowly investigated (going upstream) and eventually I just powered right up them which was damned fun. Then I enjoyed a lazy trip down the river to the car and back to home.

Yesterday was good, it was monday and I don't mind coming to work, especially when it's a 4 day work week! Scouts was really good and we played Scout style basketball, involving all walls and in many ways resembles Rugby minus the little throw in net. Rob was dunking like a madman and I drained a few 3 pointers but I was totally impressed by R (one of the scouts) who is like 5'3 and dunks over my head by first running into the wall and then boucing off of it BACKWARDS to dunk over my head, and damned if didn't just end up catching him instead of the ball lol. BUT later we collided and I got a great bloody lip which is still bleeding now, I hope his head is ok!

So life is great!!

WHOOOOOHOOO

peace yo

Apr. 8th, 2006 @ 10:06 am On a saturday morning such as this...
Well, I've been strong! LOL

Since I wrote last me and the married girl determined that yes a mutual attraction exists and I could feel us drawing closer and closer after work, thankfully we both got away before touching or anything silly like that.

Thursday night rocked. The scouts visited the cub group and instead of getting 3 new kids it looks like we might be getting 6! This is an incredibel boost to our troop who has not gotten any new kid from the cubs this millenia lol. Afterwards Bri had to go home and study for an exam due to the exam compression from the recent strike and Robo and I went and saw inside man, which although being a good movie was bordering on a lot of dumbness.

Waking up Friday was tough and after biking to work in the rain I was in a joker mood all day and I can't say that I felt all that productive. I did manage to distance myself from married girl intentionally and then unintenionally a bit to lol. But a good day I guess it was, exausted by 11pm I was in bed and woke up at 8am, pretty late for me. I worked out this morning, 300 toe touches which I can feel a little bit right now as I type and then a long, luxurious shower.

Today I hope to spend visiting with friends and under no particular pressure, I may visit my grandfather in the hospital but am not sure yet.

This is my day and I am going to live it to the fullest.

I'm not to sure whats been going on recently with me with women. I guess when it rains it pours, but sometimes it snows and hell, sometimes it apparently snows in April, and like that, some things just don't make sense.

Take for instance the fact that theres a beautiful woman 10 feet away from me at work, and I mean beautiful in like every kind of way. Then theres another girl, recently married. Well, both of these girls like me and geez, I suppose you should ask which I should like in return? Well, obviously I SHOULD like the single one but nooo, wheres the challenge in that? So instead of being happily with a beautiful woman, I lament and write in my LJ while blasting Pearl Jams "Alive." I can feel pressure building between us and of course I don't know what to do. What I should do I know, maybe it's what I WILL do that I don't know. Like take yesterday she asked me (After I told her about my parents going away) if she and another work girl friend can come over to my house and if I thought I could handle both of them. So fine, we're both interested but I can not help but feel that the morals of today are conflicting with my older morals, which coincidently clash very heavily with my body lol.

So thats me today.
