I still got a few post topics in queue; just some things I want to get off my chest. but for now I will just update my weekend. I still haven't decided if this is permanent yet. I might easily just forget to update for another 7 months
Anyways...
Wed/Thurs
So I get back to the boardroom I'm working at, any my team member and good friend tells me she's being fired tomorrow. Wow what a way to end a week. I felt so bad for her and I feel its not her fault, but business is a cruel world and you are going to have casualties. That's just insensitive... I haven't talked to her since but I really felt for her
Friday
My manager was supossed to come and review my work but it didn't work out that way. Since I lost my only team member on this job I'm sitting in the big boardroom alone. What a way to end a week...
Also my buddy e-mails me telling me he's going to a birthday party for a co-worker, and doesn't invite me. I don't really mind because its his company and his friends so I wouldn't expect an invite.. but something seems strange
Friday night I end up having a "date" with my friend Allee. She's super awesome and with her I can let my dork flag fly. We talk about games (she has the Sims and is addicted, for which I don't blame her) she lets me hate on Mac's (I hate macs sooo much, but thats another blog for another day) we talk about TV shows and hating on hippies and how people who work for the government are useless. It was a good night to rant and rave, I definitely enjoyed it. If only I had gotten drunk...
Saturday
Saturday morning was pretty dorky. I got up and printed out the answers to the exam I wrote 8 months ago. Yes the answers to that exam only came out like 2 days ago. I PASSED!! by the way. Anyways, I went to the website and got the answers, grabbed some McDonalds breakfast and went through the exam. Yes I'm a tool.. A HUGE tool.
After that My buddy called me up and we went golfing for most of the afternoon. Beautiful day to golf, I got to work on alot of my game and I feel I'm improving. My friend has a membership to a very exclusive country club and the pampering they do you to you just blows my mind. Such as:
- Leave your golf shoes (or whatever shoes you want) by your locker and they will clean them for you
- Give them your clubs after a round and they wash and scrape all the gunk off for you
- Open sauna, shower, and hygiene stuff for after the round because you've probably built up a HUGE sweat golfing
- Free drop off and pick up of your golf clubs, because walking in with your clubs from the parking lot is just unthinkable
Anyways after that we went to a friends house for a little party/ watching the hockey game, eating pizza with people. pretty social, and lots of fun. Ended up getting a lift back home
Sunday
- MSN
- Golf
- Fight night round 4
That is all
I'm rambling again, and this is getting long. Not sure what I will talk about next. performance reviews are Tuesday, we'll see if I still have a job by the next time I post
One Love...

So... like 7 months later
Ok so I totally forgot about this blog thing and I kinda went like 7 months without updating it. I got a tip (from someone who is fast emerging as a really good friend) that I should update my blog. She says its very therapeutic, but only time will tell
So whats happened to me?
Well, I went to Calgary in October and had an absolutely amazing time. Absolute time of my life while I was in the city. Unfortunately, I had issues back home. Someone I cared about decided to pull together a string of lies plus a whole load of bullshit and left me feeling just miserable for 2 months of my stay in Calgary. It sucks because when I just didn't think about her I was so happy; and I should have stopped thinking of her altogether and enjoyed my time there, but whatever lesson learned
What also really really didn't help was that they sent me to Fort McMurray. I swear as God is my witness that is the biggest fucking piece of shit of a town I have ever seen. I've never seen a more expensive landfill site with a bigger population of fucktards in my entire life. I will blog a whole post one day on how fort mac is the worst town in existence
Anyways my ex is there. and all those emotions came back, but with the realization that things had changed so much that whatever we felt for each other was meaningless, which hurt... ALOT...
Ok ok enough negativity...
Reasons why Calgary was awesome
- I learned to snowboard, and I got pretty good. Like black diamond good. I loved getting up at 8am on saturday with my best buddy. We were hung over driving out to the mountains, and boarding from 10-4 ripping around, cracking jokes, eating snow falling on our asses. End of day hop back in the car and drive home tired as hell, grab a couple beers, watch Scrubs and pass out...
- The women there are beautiful, fun loving and absolutely chill. Some nights at the bars dancing with some of the most beautiful women, just feeling lucky that a girl this gorgeous is dancing with me
- I made an absolute chill friend out there. Her name is Ginny and unfortunately I met her very late in my Calgary stay. She was absolute sunshine, just bubbling with smiles, and positivity. Any time I saw her I was just happy to be with her. I would wake up extra early to grab coffee with her before work because it would just make my day soo much better. I wish I could find a friend like that here, it would make my life
- Work was very interesting, required hard work but had great payoff
- City living is amazing
Ok ok this has gotten a little long for a first post... I will update on what I have been up to since Calgary next time
I guess
One Love

Don't call it a comeback
Originally I started my blogging site a few years ago because I was a coop on work term in the summer. My schedule was free for about 3 weeks so I sat in the office with nothing to do, and eventually decided I would blog about stuff.
It continued for about a year just blogging about school and bitching about exams and making countdowns and songs, and I had alot of fun.
Then someone decided to use my blog against me... Long story... So I stopped and didn't pick it up again
Now that the attackers have forgotten all about me I figured I would start my blog again. I think it's going to be a hybrid of talking about my life and what I'm doing, and talking about college football (my sports passion)
Now I bet the 3 people who actually see my blog are thinking "who the hell will follow a blog about a guys life + his college football rants." The thing is I really don't care who reads it or who doesn't. But ultimately I will post a little blog about whats going on with me, then post a rant about football or something... so you can stop reading whenever you choose
I'm blogging because I feel like writing stuff... and because Ia diary is gay. a blog is just nerdy.
What's up with me
Right now its just stress... I'm writing a big exam in September and I'm trying to study and keep positive. But everyone I meet has to ask me about how my studying is going. and everytime I lazily tell them it's going good
and people have to comment "you don't sound too excited" - no shit really? I'm writing a 13 hour exam over 3 days with 1600 people across Canada, you think I have a clue how I'm going to do? You never know if the exam will play to your strengths or not, this isn't high school, so how can I be assured of anything?!?!?
Other then that it's just golf, tv, friends and trying to keep myself in a decent frame of mind.. to respect the exam but not give up on it
T minus 5 weeks until I move to Calgary...
Overrated Football teams
So early in the colleged football season it's actually easy to pick the very best college football teams. Its all the teams outside of the top 15 who are given far too much praise for one or 2 garbage wins, and will ultimately never be as good as their hype
Utah - Ok ok so you beat Michigan at Michigan in the season opener. Congratulations, you beat a Michigan team with a new coach and new offence philosophy who has players recruited for the old offense philosophy. They lost starting QB, RB and top 2 WR's from last year. They suck, congratulations you beat nobody
Not only did you beat nobody, but you barely beat nobody winning by 2. So Utah will go one to beat a bunch more nobody's like Utah State, Air Force, Weber State. They will get into a bowl game and face a team from a GOOD division, and pull a Hawaii, get blown out and outclassed and have everyone say: "wow was Utah overrated"
University South Carolina - The useless USC beat the more useless NC state. Dear useless USC: Vanderbilt will kill you, Georgia will destroy you and you will be 1-2 and everyone will remember that your in the SEC, don't stand a chance and forget about you
Fresno State - Another team in a VERY VERY easy conference who will win all their in conference games and will get blown out in a bowl game. It's ok they will lose to Wisconson, and that will require 5 straight wins to recover from, so I can forget about you for a bit
Anyways that all for my first blog. Will probably post again in the next few days, nothing college football related until Sunday
One Love
