Life is good
Wednesday, September 19th, 2007Some people have very high expectations of themselves. I for one trespass into the realm of gnosticism at times hoping for nothing more than happiness in my life. I wanted to build a bicycle wheel, sharpen a pair of skates, get married, see the clouds from above and many other dreams of the sort.
I’ve seen things in this world that make me cry, but so much more of it makes me happy. Like my wife, my family, my sisters…who transcend the borders of family.
Some ignoramus accused me of being too old to be in school at 26 while I share the classroom with 70+ students and 17 year old students alike. It made me realize, if I could have one more dream fulfilled, it would be the idiot rednecks keep their unintelligent opinions to themselves. We each have our own paths and attacking the aspirations of another doesn’t make yours any more sound.
Everything you heard is true

This weekend, I was fortunate enough to see Gordon Lightfoot in concert. What more can be said…
You have reached the Wii age.
Saturday, September 8th, 2007
From my sister Loreyna and some other financiers who sent me money for my birthday, I acquired a Wii. I think this thing is as much fun as the first time I played Doom in the 90s. Nintendo is back with a vengeance.

Monday, September 3rd, 2007This semesters class schedule finds me taking courses from 4:30pm to 10pm. This means that in order to be to school on time, I will have to get out of bed at 4:10pm. To get 8 hours of sleep, I would then need to go to bed by 8:10am every day. I’m not really sure what this is going to do to my physiology, but I get my best essay writing done in the dark.

Priceless…

WiiKey: $20
LG8164b DVD Drive: $25
Spindle of 50 DVDs: $30
All this so someone can safely backup their Wii and Gamecube games. I’m aghast! It’s not about backing things up though, it’s about sticking it to the man. I do this because I can, I do this because I am beckoned by a spirit of inner personal rebellion against the confines of proper social behaviour and corporately induced boundaries.

I’m starting school in less than five days. Three French classes and two history classes…I’ll be updating the website a lot more now that I have important work to do.
Some things just work out.
Wednesday, August 29th, 2007Virginia and I are getting settled back into our cubicle of cultural segregation apparted to us within the confines of a dilapidating structure. I was in school this morning paying my fees and looking at my book list. (which has about18 books on it) My car needs some repairs so I’m driving it to a friend’s garage tomorrow on St. Joseph’s Island. Hopefully I can walk away with just my arm missing.
I figured out what’s been wrong with my computer…apparently my GPU has been running at about 100 degrees centigrade instead of a balmy 70–80 so my system was locking up. A soldering iron and some screws + duct tape later I was back down to 66!
Ellie, Lola and Petunia have moved back in without incident, except that Petunia is shedding mad underground and Lola has a weird green stain on her chest from a marker she decided was a little to comfortable in working condition.
Virginia is returning to school and Cross Country at the same time. School will be my full time job this semester on account of I can’t take the heat of the kitchen.
This post is too full of writing. Adios.
Home again
Monday, August 27th, 2007After galavanting around the countryside, it’s finally time to settle back down into the mundane and have a normal life for a few months. I have to tap out 2 more semesters in school before I can run off again.
I came home to find a 1000 dollar scholarship in my mailbox, so I’m off to a good start.

Four days, 40 Kilometers.
Friday, August 17th, 2007I just got back from a four day hike on the coastal trail. This is the second time I’ve hiked this stretch and it was much easier to say the least. Apparently a summer of living in the woods prepared me for the big trip. Besides ripping the tail off of a chipmunk and a pair of exploding hiking boots everything went really well.
