2:42 pm - Can't we all just get along...
|
A post from 2 days ago has forced me to turn screening on comments.
I will not use comments for a childish battleground. You know who you are and if you want to talk and or yell at me, phone me or ICQ me. Posting your feelings here is immature. I did nothing to hurt you and always tried to help you so I don't see why you are so bitter towards me...
All comments are welcome, even the bad ones (8
BUT they will all be screened first...

11:03 pm - Lookin out my back door...
|
What a day...
I don't like Monday's and today reminds me why.
Tried to rebuild a Customer's BV Data today, was looking good but ended up no good. Same problem in the end...
Well, good thing, tomorrow is another day, eh!
After all...it's only work.
Then again, it's all I do these days really.
Sad but true. Guess it's good for me. Had my dayz,
and then some, we all have to look ahead, but it's all up to you, my time is now. Even thou I am fighting it with all my party animal self that I am, LMAO. I have to stay focused. It could be better now or worse..., but only makes it worse in the end.
I always want to be happy, like I have been lately, but "it's always something", that never ends and if it does, maybe, I'm at the end.

10:59 pm - Me Rambling and other current non-significant events
|
Well, once again, long time no write. I will shoot me later.
Guess it's cause it's the same old shit lately, sleep, work, sleep.
Other than that, went to doctor's on Friday.
He took all of 5 minutes to tell me I have ear and throat infection, an assist on my ear and need surgery for my stomach issue.
They scheduled me to see a specialist for Sept 22.
Hello!!!!! I'm in pain!
I know the system is backed up but I think a month + for an appointment to see a specialist is pretty pathetic... I will try another doctor to see if I can get in earlier to see another specialist but it's prob a waste of time.
"More than lucky to be alive thou.""
Now I don't care just what you do, if you want to have a picnic, that's up to you, but don't tell me about it, I don't want hear it, see i just lost all my picnic spirit.
I'll stay in my kitchen, have a picnic in my bathroom (:"
Bob Dylan.
So anyway,
Hottest day of year so far, 36 C or 97 F.or higher. Good thing my work has aircon.
I only had to go on the road to do one service call today. Had to fix a printer,close to the shop. Had fun @ the customers, we were all laughing about buddy joking with his bitterness towards women/wife...been there, better now...LOL.
I like going on the road calls once in awhile to get out of the shop. Sometimes I ask for more road calls when I get bored or stressed of doing the office work.
It's been over 4 months and I am still really happy working @ ICP. It's hard not too thou I guess (:
Kevin is a great boss.He treats me with respect and helps me out with whatever, whenever he can.
And, almost everyone else working there is way kool and always willing to help.
Well thats enough rambling for one night I guess.
Til the next time you decide to write you dumb bastard.

In the mean time I need to fix the van soon as I really need to get to Oshawa to see my Children and my friends.

6:16 pm - Busy week and Sat. so far.
|
Wow, this week seemed long even for a 4 day week. We are pretty busy @ the shop and everything is going good! On Tues. went to Sweet cheeks with Ken for lunch, had my usual toasted western and couple drinks.
Wed., Thurs., and Fri. I went home for lunch and had ham sandwiches and whatever.
It's Sat now and just got a coffee from Timmy's and gonna play a few songs really loud to get me motivated. I don't feel like doing anything right now but sitting around relaxing. Gotta get some food into me...getting use to this 3 meals a day thing.It's becoming a habit...LOL...gained 10 pounds this month, going for another 10 pounds next month. Just sitting around with Shannon listening to tunes now, we are bored.
There is so much I should be doing but I just don't want too.
Just want to relax and enjoy the sunshine and listen to music. Always so much to do, have to slow down sometimes...enjoy what I have and what I don't...enjoy life while I can . I am so far but life ain't easy, no one said it would be. So many changes, such a short time. I am very happy, sad and stressed all @ the same time right now. It's really strange.

10:28 pm - The weekend and Mon.
|
Made it home to Oshawa from Etobicoke around 8ish. Was a peaceful night. Had the house all to myself. Just sat around and Listen to tunes really loud for a bit playing around on my PC , surfing and stuff...and watched some TV.
Sat I took Ashley, Sarah, Miranda and Stacey out to Zellers to buy Ashley's Doll, My Dream Baby. We had been looking for awhile now as they were always sold out. Ashley told me she found the Doll and pointed out there were only a few left and the one she liked was there. ( hint hint (: )
Then we went to Wal-mart in the North end to check for Sarah's doll but they didn't have it. She wants, Hush little baby. I told her we would go Monday if I could get the day off.
We went to far going to Walmart and found this huge fountain in a big pond and we stopped and went down by it for a bit, it was really kool but we had to go because Walmart was closing soon.
Sunday Shannon came home with everyone and we sat and had a few drinks.
We worked out a new plan on me moving, I will prob move out next weekend now.
IT's a better move for her and me at this point.
Kevin gave me Monday off work so I could pack and get ready to move and stuff.
I took Ashley and Sarah to Walmart in Whitby and they didn't have doll either so we went to Toys -r- us across the road, they didn't have it either!!!!!! We walked around Toys -r- us for awhile in circles lookin for something... then Sarah just wanted bubbles til
we find her doll somewhere next weekend or sometime. * I love shopping* ggeeeeeeee.
I finished loading Van up after bringing the kids home and found out Cyal just got suspended for a week in school. Next stop boot camp. I talked with about it but he doesn't want to talk about it...
Got home when it was getting dark, Dan helped me bring up a few things and we decided we would go put stuff in storage after work Mon.
Work was good today, accomplished a lot. Went to Sweetcheeeks with Ken for lunch.
Everyone was leaving and I was on phone for an hour talking to a customer til 5:30.
Dan, Ken and I went to put rest of my stuff in storage after work.
Just sitting relaxing now, should go to bed soon.
current mood: peaceful

6:41 pm - Crashed. and the last two blurred weeks.
|
ahhhhhrrrrrrrgggggggggg@@@@!!!!!!!!
I typed for half hour about the last 2 weeks and my power went out during spell check....shitty!!! oh well. Anyway, to sum it up. Last 2 weeks have been foggy @ best and just same old same old I guess, work, (went to sweet cheeks a couple times each week with Ken for lunch of course), family and friends that's what matters in my life and that is all going pretty good right now. What more can one ask for. Went for Easter dinner with my Mom, Jay and aunt Dale on Sun last week. I am so glad I went. Turkey dinner was great and we talked a lot about Grampa. Mom gave me a bunch of picture albums and pics from grampa's house. Grampa had pic in his room of my hockey days, when I was 12 i think, playing for Burt Robinson in Mississauga... Thanks to Angelo, my Godfather, what a man, he is one of few angels I know. He is so awesome. He even wanted to adopt me and one point. Unfortunately we only see each other @ funeral's nowadays. I seen him 3 times in last 4 years or so. He invited me to go down to Florida with him this summer to relax and go fishing and stuff. I think I will.

12:38 am - This Week
|
So much has happen, feels like more then a week.
First I moved half my stuff to new place, living with my sis again in Etobicoke, but still live in Oshawa. It rules living there, it's so clean and Kathy is a wicked cook, I really feel @ home, Dan he's always there to make sense. Kathy and Dan a pair of angels in my eyes.
I started this week by starting a new job in Mississauga with ICP and it's way kool.
I think the people here are great, including my bosses. I also enjoy the work I'm doing.
I do everything from help with purchase orders and RMA's in Business Vision, Help with scheduling and so on with Gold mine (a contact management program) to research and development, editing our homepage and working on PC's in the shop or on site. I guess I'm a floater kinda.There's no pressure from the boss's and all the people there are really kool people, there are many times I have laughed my ass off this week working here, they are all a good bunch of easy going people , enjoying life, there's always a joke or 12 a day..We always have a good lunch, short or long ones depending on how busy we are. On Monday Kevin (one of my bosses) went and got us Mcd's and brought back to office, then Tues Dan brought me to this kool establishment called sweet cheeks...and they were, woo hooooo...we had couple drinks and I had a toasted western. It was really good but U have to be patient to get your order...it's usually an hour lunch when we go there, really breaks up the day nice...
Wed. Ken and I went over and grabbed a hot dog from the corner hot dog stand. I ate half of mine, too many beers night before, wont do that again....during the week (:
Thurs. Dan picked Ken and I up at the shop and we went to sweet cheeks. We had a good time.
Fri I woke up and was eating my mini wheats getting ready for work and Dan came in the kitchen and told me that Grampa died over night, he fell down and had a heart attack. Didn't go to work.
WE went and got some storage for our stuff till we move in the new House. I wasn't in the mood to be there but you gotta do these things sometimes, then we went to visit Mom Fri night make sure she was ok and to give her a hug and kiss and say Hi.
We drove back to Etobicoke Fri night, I drove home Sat. after me and Kathy went and did appliance shopping and cloths for me all afternoon. I need up in Oshawa around 9ish. I drank all night and wrote a eulogy for grampa, gonna read it when we bury him.
Kathy and Dan picked me up in Oshawa to go to Lindsay for the wake Sat afternoon.. It was horrible, gramps just didn't look like himself.
The funeral home was around the corner from mom's house the service was two hours long and we left a bit early. Kathy stayed with mom to make sure she was ok.I walked back to mom's with Dan Jason his friend Chad and his gf, I tripped on a rock walking back to mom's house from the funeral don't know how I didn't see it, it was a bit dark , but still, so I looked back and thought I should bring it home for mom, she likes diff rocks, she even has a rock garden in front of her house and rocks around the house too. I did better then I thought, had to keep it together for mom, now both her parents are gone, within last 4 years and uncle Gary died un expectantly about a year and a half ago.
It must be really hard for her. I just did the best I could to comfort her today, never seen her that bad.
Today (Mon) we went to the funeral home and said goodbye to grampa then we drove to Norland to put him to rest beside Grama. The ground was too hard to dig up so we have to go back when it is ready, mom well call and let us know. I went to get flowers for Grama from the funeral director. Shane, he got them for us then asked if my brother and I could help. We move Grampa from were he was lowered down to put him beside the wall so they could lower next casket down. I picked up a pine cone for mom, she likes those too, after we went and visited Grama and put some red roses from one of Grampa's arrangements on her grave.
After that half the family went to one restaurant and we went to The Bonfire. Family fued, but that's another story. It was pretty good i guess. Mom looked a lot better by this time.
Mom's friend Mary is staying the night with her to keep her company, she is a really nice person, we thanked her as we left.
Stopped in Oshawa to get my van on way home, had a talk with Shannon for a bit then I left and drove back home to Etobicoke.
I'm happy for Grampa now, he's were he wants to be, free of pain and with Grama again.
current mood:  sad

1:06 am - Family Quarter
|
Today was awesome...
Went to Lindsay seen my mother and brother uncle and grandpa.
Mom, uncle Buck and I went to see grandpa. He is doing so much better then he was last time we went to visit.
I was so happy!!! He was so talkative and seemed really positive this time. I hope he can come home soon. He says he will be coming home soon (:
Tomorrow tells all basically, the big meeting. * Crossing fingers*
I always give myself a present ever year.
This year, the only thing I wanted was to visit grandpa,
The best present I've ever had was to see him happy today.
I want to wish a special thanks to Shannon , a great person and a great friend.
Thanks for the cake (: put a smile on my face!
The only thing I wish for more then what I already have is so far away it makes me sad to think I will never reach there again. It seems like a dream now...Why can't it be? So far and few in between..Round and round in the circle game.

1:59 am - The Wonderful Soup Stone
|
A sigh of relief has come over me this week, I feel good and full of energy.
Except for the fall I had today. Aradtech was here dropping off a web cam for me @ the time and he seen it all..I am a hazard to myself lol...
The last couple months have been bitchin...to make a very long story very short.
Worst in 6 years or so.
I was on the verge of a NBD... That NEVER helps thou....so I thought positive and worked to make things happen for the good.... and they are starting too, slowly but surely (:
Van broke down today and seriously messed plans up but I eventually fixed it and all is good, i think, lol. That'll learn me for procrastinating.
Cyal and Sarah are sleeping over tonight. Ashley stayed over @ a friends house.
We took pics on the web cam, played on the puter some and watched TV tonight. Sarah and I went shopping @ around 6ish to get supper and braky. We had sgetti for supper, really late, like 9PM or something. Going to take some pics of the kids tomorrow with the AGFA DC. I hope Ashley comes over tomorrow so I can get pics of all the kids.
wow it's way late.

My words are few today.
Day was long, @ the shop most the day.
.
Karma is all around us, it will set us free or bring us to our knee's, depending on our actions today and yesterday.
I was told early in my life, " plan on helping and treating others @ least 3 times as much as I ever expect to be treated back and help yourself because few will.
. Be happy for what you have/had and not what you don't have. " unknown
Ignorance brings bad Karma back too those who feed off it.
Can you fool me, yes you can, I will agree once again, let the Karma get ya and save my time in the end.
Goodnight.

Such a broad subject...
Am I blind, can U not see, it's no secret to me.
I am just a human being, if I am honest I will be free and have no anger inside of me.
I am surrounded by lies and am sick of the game.
It was a challenge, now it's insane.
Why is reality so hard for the brain.
Calling for umbrellas's when there's no rain,
What do we do when there is rain? Close are umbrella's and tell the rain to go away?
Sounds confusing? join the game, I just want truth , not a game, cause I'm going insane!!!

The show was great. Had a lot of fun , too bad the pizza was late and it sucked bad. We ordered from Double Double ( i figured it was going to suck, had probs with them before and have never ordered since, guess i should of mentioned that ) and they offered us a free one for next week but I think were going to pass.
I heard the wings were ok.
I will be helping move the store tomorrow ( as we did not get to it today ) and setting it up when we ( Les and I) wake up and get @ it. It's been a good but long week.
