Summer is almost over, and I can't wait! Living under my parents again hasn't posed a problem hardly at all, but I just miss my friends in Columbia.
I've made a lot of money this summer, but have somehow managed to spend like 2500+ dollars since the beginning of June. The worst part is that I don't even own anything new to show for it. I have had a lot of fun though. I've spent the majority of my summer working at Michelin, Gym, Hanging out with new friends (interns at Michelin). Latley I've been having more fun, I've gone to the beach with friends, white water rafting, to the lake. I guess I really can't complain.
The house in Columbia is really starting to look sweet though. Still a lot more work to be done, but I think it will turn out good.
Jeff told me that Iceland(rink in Irmo) that had shutdown when I left may be opening back up as a new owner may be buying it. I really hope this is true so I can still play hockey.
The Harry Potter craze has caught onto me. I used to love reading as a kid, but really haven't read many books outside of school requirements since I was probably 12. I've gotten hooked again though, so that's good.
I'll be in Columbia this upcoming weekend if anyone wants to check out the house or hang out. Gimmie a call.
Also Josh, what's goin on while you are in Greenville? We should hang out. |

I love my mom, she is always looking out for other people, always putting other people ahead of herself. I think it's rubbed off on me a lot and made me a better person. That being said, she also has the ability to drive me insane. Rather than tell me everything she wants done all at once she says something, walks out of the room, I start to get back to whatever it was I was doing, then she walks back in and says something else. I shit you not... it happened for about 15 straight minutes just now!!! It drove me fucking insane, and the worst part was that she was saying stuff for my benefit tomorrow morning, but it wasn't important so I got frustrated. Stuff about us having bananas and cranberry juice for breakfast...
I called it off with April, at least for the time being. No one reason in particular, I think I started to freak myself out with some ideas floating around in my head. I keep going up and down every other day trying to decide if it was the right choice. If it's meant to be, we'll get back together though, we're still friends...I consider her a best friend. I respect her more than most people I know. Kind of weird hanging out since the breakup, but I'm sure it gets easier.
I've been the better person over the course of the past year regarding the "Emily hates Pat and April" kick. I know she often would blab about us to various people, some of it got back to me, some of it probably didn't. I hope the majority of you took it with a grain of salt, as the people who I actually respect the opinions of, I'm sure did. While I'm sure we were at fault on some issues, she certainly was being bitchy about various other things. I've lost a lot of respect for her after all the complaining to people who really had no reason to be involved in the situation. It was just down right immature on her part and got to the point where some of the stuff that was said generated many laughs. I never fought back with annoying gossip and stupid ass bitching, but that just seemed to fuel her fire. It seemed to involve April more than myself as time went on, but April didn't deserve that. I guess this is the first time I have really wrote anything about it...figured it was worth mentioning.
Internship is going okay. Don't really like it, making a lot of money. Been thinking a lot about my future. I've looked into the Peace Corps, but I am unable to join as I'm a Canadian Citizen, however, they do have a branch I could join. Another idea still floating around is the Disney program for a little while, until I figure out what I'd like to do with my life. It felt like I went from being a college kid to being a 40 year old business man over the span of a couple days. Almost e....*mom interruption*...veryone is older and make really stupid jokes. I don't want to do this for the rest of my life.
I'm taking six classes next semester, part time at the OG, and possibly a fall internship with the inferno. My brother has bought a house. We are fixing it up now, and it's going to be a sweet senior year. My best friend is moving back to Canada in a week and that is a bummer. I'm sure it will make for some awesome trips though.
K, that was a really long post. I think I'll play a little guitar before getting up at 6:30 in the morning, blah.
Hope you all are having a great summer! |

We're at our aunt's house for the next couple days in New Germany. Not really an exciting place, but still brings back memories.
I went to my old house in New Glasgow and the lady living there let us just walk in and look at our old rooms. It was pretty cool. Met up with a friend I haven't seen for a decade and we just sat down like we have been friends forever, drinking ALEXANDER KEITHS (great beer).
As far as the nights in Halifax...it's just been a crazy fun time. There's something different about the attitudes and personalities of people up here. You can just walk up to a random person and they will be all about just having fun. I love the people here.
Not gonna talk about the first night we went out...as it didn't end until 6:30 in the morning, and would be too much to type...
Last night was sweet... almost got into a fight with a guy at a small pizza diner. He was drunk and raised his fist to cathy and I stood up and yelled "Sit the fuck down and eat your pizza!" He stood up and said, "It tastes like crap anyway!" and slammed it down into the garbage. Stormed out. Eventually he came back in and apologized...haha I love it.
(above story doesn't have the same effect without all the great accents)
Ahhh too many stories to tell, I'm sure I'll talk about it whenever I run into you guys.
Oh yeah...DUCKS WON THE CUP! WooT! Josh if you read this far I got a txt from you but couldn't read it (wicked bad charges up here). |

I leave for a week to go to Canada tomorrow morning. It's gonna be non stop bar hoppin action.
My job is okay, I keep saying it's not great but then I hear awful horror stories from different ppl working at OG and it makes me feel a lot better.
Been going to the gym everyday, an 8-5 job makes that much easier.
Hope to see everyone more when I get back.
Have a good week.
GO DUCKS! |

So a friend of mine that I haven't seen or really spoke to much since I moved away from Canada found me on facebook. I looked through his friends and found another dozen or so people I was friends with growing up as a kid. It's crazy to see everyone all grown up drunk off their asses. Everyone seems to remember me a good bit and I already have my plane ticket to go up there this summer. I can't wait to be back home!!! |

I also forgot to take a poll on a topic me and Jeff were discussing:
What are some of the biggest disappointment cds that you can think of?
Mine:
1. Metallica-St. Anger(Complete joke of a cd)
2. Finger Eleven-Them vs. you vs. me(just came out a week ago...it's terrible...)
3. Weezer-I forget the name...the newest one...bad...bad lyrics.
What are some other cds that came as huge dissapointments to you all? |

| Spring Break Recap |
[Mar. 19th, 2007|11:13 am] |
Me and Ap went down to Orlando to see elaine. We went to the parks a little bit but not too much. Ate at some crazy restaurants, had a good time. Last Monday we got on our cruise which was fantastic. Way too much to type about, but I'll hit a few of the highlights:
1. Doing a tour of a bunch of islands on a jetski. Very fast wave runners, interesting info, and I got to hold this huge ass star fish which was pretty cool.
2. Way too much alcohol at some places.
3. Steak every night I wanted it.
4. Gambling...which I lost at...but still fun.
5. Crazy gameshow and magic shows.
6. And here's the crazy adventure of my trip...
On the 2nd day we went to Breezes Resort which was this really nice resort that had all you could eat and drink(alcoholic and non alcoholic) included. They had multiple pools including a swim up bar(it had bar stools in the pool). Had a skating rink, which apprantly was destroyed in a hurricane, that was disappointing. Long story short me and April, especially me, got completely trashed. We caught a bus that was supposed to take us back to our ship. The driver told april to get off at this stop and walk a certain way, so we did. But we got lost(we were in Nassau, Bahamas btw). Eventually a bahemian(sp?) cop car pulls up to us and asks where we are headed. We tell them the ship and show proof that we are on it and they say get in, we'll take u there. I remember sitting in the cop car slightly...So they drop us off at the dock we go on the boat and pass out...everythings good. The next day I look in our carry on bag and see a book. I'm like "April...what the fuck is this?" She has no idea so I opened it and it reads...
"Royal Bahemian(sp?) Police Report"
I definitely drunkenly stole from the police. It has all their records of tickets they gave out to people over the past week or so. So I guess a lot of people may have gotten off the hook for wreckless driving, etc.
Definitely one hell of a souveneir!
Hope everyones break was a good one. |

At work today someone filled out their credit card slip with my tip, then left me the blank copy, and walked out with the slip that was signed and filled out. A 45 dollar check too...dumb bastards!
Also and old man called me Satan...it was a joke I think...? I didn't really get it, but it had something to do with me offering them dessert, and he said it. Then he looked at me and said "You don't look like Satan!" And I didn't know how to reply...I just said something like, "I would hope not."
The end. |
