I know you've been waiting. Days have passed, and you have counted them down, as has Anthony. Birthdays have come and now gone, but there is still dates in the future that are eagerly anticipated. Pulsradio sets the mood, and I think about what it would be like if you were here. I also think about what it would be like had you called me. Or what it would have been like had I the courage to talk to you. Let alone the little hand just touched the one, and that's not a stab at michael. That's just a. ricies. There is something inside Ryan. Something that you have been waiting to say. As you build up the courage to say it, it comes out. It does. But it's in a language that you can't even understand. Someone better pinch you, and quickly because you're speaking the hell croation, and the look on your face, and your accent is making it look and sound normal. Quick Pinch me. There is less then a week remaining to get the watermellon and pizza ready. Two days counted down quickly. And at first what seemed like a silly idea turned into smooth legs, and now I'm unaware of which is which and what is right. Unaware leaves the restless feeling, and thank goodnes you took pictures galore, and are going to be able to stablize them tomorrw when at the moment everything is coming down around you. Feelings of tired lurk, and loudly at that. Shrugging it off it's easy to reminisce about all that has taken place in the last hours, days, months, and years. You've covered your eyes and your ears for long enough. Boo. Open. Ricies. It's go time. With my new legs, comes a Joshua, and a 1/2 Duplex. As fast at hairstyles, times change, and if you aren't on the ship, you're definitly on the anchor. Either way you should be holding your breath, and wondering what is coming next. It's evident that something is changing. It's taking place inside others, and inside yourself. It's no secret that you are blind to the outside, but inside it's Crystal. and Slim if you win. Wait. Where did you go? La jeu fini. Korean Ryan. practice. Not french. When I look into the past it's hard to not, but looking around at the present, selfishly I still can't. Surroundings or somethings. Posession I know is going to change that as will reality. I talked about it actually alot tonight. You weren't specifically mentioned but if someone was keeping tabs on all of the times explicitly. Hollywood. I can't even say that I'm angry. Actually that would be an outright lie, as I am. But at the same time, money saved is money earned.? and holding hands with saving is time, and time almost wins. Pegs not get involved with time, when it it's so clear, and it's sitting right in front. As you go through a time like this, you'll catch some more sun. You'll workout, you'll run, which will leave people wondering whether this is just a quick faze as you work through your chemistry lessons, or whether this is a real deal, and you're setting yourself up for Post-DSI. If that is the case, mate, you're behind two protein shakes. I can wait though. Patience. Don't remind me. Virtue right? Thanks pops. Oh Shoot. Christina Aguilera better switch me chairs.

| Two Years, Two Months, Two Days |
PermaLink - Jul 5, 2006
Two years has quickly passed, and now with two months of contract polished I'm in my last two days of whitening. Two. Actually no three, and that is the number of days I am counting down until the Nelly Furtado Concert. Brett - Random to think that you and I ripped up the Stampede last year, Swollen Members, Sum 41, Fefe Dobson, That kareoke and of course Nelly Furtado. You'll be proud of the repeat I have going, 151 and all. Although sorry mate, I won't be soiling my pants, throwing up in bed, or waking up on a subway wondering wtf am I doing here. With both Germany and Brazil knocked out the world cup, it might not be the world cup final that alot of people were expecting. France and Portugal are still to play to qualify for the final, but after France defeated Brazil, I'm with them for the cup. It is football though, and in one game anything can happen. A todo list in the making, leaves me wondering what I'm going to be doing after work today. * Checks the weather one more time. * Verifies that it's still 30.. Plans a swim and a bbq. A raft with a quiet night on friday, and ready with game faces on Saturday. David Beckham Pepsi Commercial | |

PermaLink - Jun 6, 2006
Your due date has now two days since passed, and maybe 06-06-06 isn't the greatest day to be talking about it. Of course it's unreasonable to think that you would be born right on that day, but in the grand scheme of things, it's only a difference of hours, and none the less it's still a special day, and the oldest that you've ever been. http://www.lifebyme.com/the_ataris_the_saddest_song.mp3 This past weekend flew by. Edmonton kicked off in a big way with driving a truck full of kids and gear up to our Hotel in the West End. After settling in and a few team meetings later, we went to West Edmonton mall to eat dinner. Even looked around for a bit. As most of everyone had to race the next day, there was some swimming and then curfew. I polished the ring afterwards with a few of the kids that weren't racing. Can't say I really enjoyed it anymore than the first time, but the first time didn't I watch it with, yes, that's right your sister. Speaking of her. How is she doing? - Haven't you...? No It's been over 2 years. Friday was a gorgeous 28 in the sun all day. It is a crazy thought to think about the base that I've already had this year, and then to add on top a 10 hour day. I spent most of the day spinning yawns. To say there was some catching up to do with be a bit of an understatement. For the day: I would place most of my chips out for things having gone well. What are the odds that night though. I don't even like the Spaghetti Factory, and you would have thought after the hour wait we would have gone somewheres else. But. Maybe it was time for reality or whatever this is, to settle back in. That night was much like the first. Exchange the Ring for E.T., and Sirsten for and empty spot. Sorry E.T. But you are a bit comedy. Saturday turned out to be just like friday, although with less talking, more suntanning, and even more good races. The school did really well, and finished 2nd overall. Second to Scona, who fair enough, represented with even more than our 42. After hanging out with Melanie Fyfe for most of the afternoon, we left back to the hotel after a marathon wait for the official standings and banner. Last year we had a final wind-down pizza party at Pizza hut, and this year the plan was to do the same or to have it at Boston Pizza. Maybe at 5pm the restaurants were packed out, and they really couldn't handle having 50 people come through, but it still does not make sense to me a restaurant turning down soo many paying customers. After that we walked across the street to an Italian restaurant. The guy said that he didn't want us either. I looked at him, and said "There is 50 paying people ready to come through your restauarant, and you are going to turn them down". He looked at me, and said "You not phone". Whether we phoned or not, his restaurant was empty, and actually wait, doesn't matter. The dinner was pretty average, and after a quick run around at West Ed. I was starting to feel the two days in the sun, lack of water, and couldn't be stuffed roaming any more. That is how it was supposed to look. Anyways. Making my way back to the Hotel with my truck full again, it took me a few minutes to catch myself, and to come down. Sorry Josh, I got soo excited I was wearing my speedo already. Sociables, swimming, Greg Plester, Cowboy boots, yawns, and nights, and then.. The Ring. Again. Ok. I'm not in on the excitement; it was pretty average the first night, so I don't see a need to pack out a room with 30 people and watch it again. Ricies. Actually crispies, and all over the floor. Sorry Sirsten, how was I to know your spot would be taken just like that. Just feeling so embarrassed, the time hits me, and it's 5am. A sleep and I'm awake again at 11, still half knacked, and not really sure if I'm up for the waterpark. But. After a breif swim with the submarines, and a quick shock in the food court, I did go to the Waterpark. That reminds me. kent - 30$. If you minus the bunjee from last year, the waterpark was quite similar. Maybe I am getting old. I was on my way back to polish a nap in the truck, when Kent gives me a ring. We decide to enjoy another day of 25+ in the sun, and hit up Kelsey's patio. That's it then. Edmonton is done with. Load up one more time, and wait. Green Racer. Who said. Actually it will be good to have you along for the ride. Between Kent waxing a big ticket, and drafting off of Esther, we came in a respecteable second. Ricies. | |

A Readable Journal, for a readable time.
Things don't always sit like this, but there does become points in life; whether good or bad things just seem to well. sit. Wednesday May 24, 9:58pm. Although I've spent the last few weeks in Calgary, it's only been since last sunday that I've been a resident once again, and only a week I have been an employee once again. I have taken a contract for X amount of time as a Web Application developer. There actually is more to it then Dilbert jokes, and at the best of times it is as interesting as the title.
I've spent a good portion of the last year travelling, and with that taking this contract is definitely grounding, but falls nicely in line. I'm not writing off options of travel here, as even as soon as tomorrow I will be driving to Edmonton for the hockey game. There is also plans lurking to visit Nolan in Korea, but those plans have yet to materialize so until they do, I should probably get back to that which is more tangible.
With the Playoff run that is going this year it is safe to say that I've caught a little bit of the fever. It started off being invited over for tea at my uncle's house, and watching the first Flames games, and then when Kent and I decided to pick it up a notch for the Oilers, things started getting more interesting. I would say out of hand, because of the scene entirely, but we've been keeping ourselves in line. The first night that we went out was actually in Calgary on the Red Mile. It was for one of the last Flames games, and when they lost, the crowd turned pretty small and quiet at the best of times. That apart we made the national news, Sportsnet, live t.v. and both newspapers. It's random the news that a little bit of controversy can stir up. Although not working together Kent and I both made news on two more occasions, and tomorrow night is setting itself up to be the same. It's true though. Things are getting a little bit out of hand. I suppose I was caught at the perfect moment in this article, suggesting that I was part of it. Personally I think it had more to do with the spandex, and pegs not look into it further.
Oilers revelry turns ugly on Edmonton's Blue Mile - Calgary Herald - Edmonton SunThere were moments -- as hockey fans taunted and threw bottles at officers -- when it looked like the revelry on Edmonton's Whyte Avenue was going to turn into rioting, police said Saturday... But a small number of the revellers turned violent, facing off against as many as 200 police officers wearing helmets and holding up shields. Forty-nine people were taken into custody for the night; four were charged with criminal offences including assault, mischief and impaired driving...  "I shudder to think what would happen if (the Oilers) in fact win the series here in Edmonton," he said... Two men in their 20s were in stable condition at the University of Alberta hospital Saturday after being wounded in a double stabbing at a Whyte Avenue bar, Capital Health said...
Working two jobs here, amidst limited curricular activities, and the rest has the days racing by. It's true though, I've enjoyed my fair share of afternoon risings, and hours in the sun. I'll hold my color here, as to have something show for the last months. The last year. Actually few.
There would be some truth to me saying that my stomach is coming around. Slowly though. Really slowly. It's crazy to look back on past times, and then to compare it to the future, and be struggling lifting my foot an inch of the ground, while holding my arms out at a 45 degree angle. If things do happen for a reason, I'm sure going to be curious to sort this one out. In the meantime though, I'm on with the rehab and upper body strength, as well as some whey without cholesterol.
 I'd work into Conquering Canada, or Calgary or something, but Brett is doing enough of that in Korea, and actually this is some interesting media Brett. Bawling in fact. Music Video

At the height of the enjoyment, when turning back didn't seem like an option, I did it. I looked freedom straight in the eye. I took it. The travel tickets and tanned skin and packed them in for another word, a word that is escaping my mind. Wait. There it is. Sacrifice. For what, actually for Who is the better question. You're reading this, and you're trying to figure out whether it is for you. you're swimming mate. let me grab you a towel. Actually I'm swimming. Through a crowd of people in a twelve years girls swimsuit. You thought you had me with the . Is it cold out here? No actually it really is that small. 50$ cape, 12$ swimsuit, the look on your face when I said that. Priceless. You can have it. I'm already down the block. Super something. Actually can someone pick that superhero up off the block. he just wiped out, and he's bleeding something else. Mom do you think you can bandage that up for me? Mom? Mom? Mother's day. Yep, you're a mom alright. And probably even joining me today with that nervous feeling. Nervous. Actually. Actually. Sorrow. A sweet smell of it in it's greatness lies over the land. Plumes of smoke are rising and merging into the leaden sky. There is a man. And he is lying there. Nervous. And dreaming of green field and rivers. But for no reason, he awakes to morning. His lost paradise leaves him haunted. He can't decide whether it was his youth or his paradise. He's chained to that world, that has forever departed. He knows it's not enough. It'll never be enough. His knees tremble and give way. The night. One world. One Dream. One child. Unless. Twins? Time passes, the rivers rolls and he continues to talk of that river and of that loss and the dedication. Silent replies flow dark into a troubled sea. Grim invitations of what was and is to be. There is dust in my eyes as I go to purchase the letters. The silence is speaking so much louder than the words that I am lost for. Silence of a promise that is broken. How confused that look on your face. It's not just you. It's all of us. We're all a little bit confused. We're trying though. It's even a struggle at times. Straighten up you little soldier. You little cutie you. You'll hit your birthday pretty quick here. You'll be two. It'll be the only time in your life that you'll be able to multiply your age by ten to get mine. You haven't even learned to multiply yet. You little inoccent Monique Alrya. Or Piper Lotus. Or Jen. Or Christina. Or Shiba. I've got it written on my forehead. Daughter. That's right. Look at you.. Dreams on a thursday left me without the plot for what has quickly become habit. The end times interest me more, but - Did you really save those pills; and take them? Just about to get to them when New Zealands national anthem comes on and awakes the melancholy and the infinitie sadness. Look at him. He's cold. Minus six today in Siberia. |

Someone has a plan, let's even call it a dream. You don't believe it's possible. There could be a number of reasons; It might be because you honestly don't believe it's possible, but more times I think it's because you don't believe that you can do it, or are still gutted because you didn't do it... Put at extremes; you have two choices. You can support it, even if by saying nothing, Or you can steal that dream, and if you've done your homework you'll probably leave the person not even believing in it themselves. We grow up in a society that quickly beats the idea of a dream out of us. This happens all by an age, where we are left with shattered confidence and don't even know how to dream anymore. If you ask a kid what they want to do when they are older, untainted by reality they'll typically respond pretty quickly: an astronaut, a pilot, a horse trainer. There isn't near enough spaceships or planes to fly, let alone horses to train for everyone to follow suit of those dreams, but there is something in that child that is remarkeable, it's innoncence. You would argue that as kids we don't have any idea of what is best for us; I think more importantly it's that we just don't know yet what society is going to make us interested in. Everyone has aptitudes and interests; and along with those Weakness and dislikes. How often do both an aptitude and interest fall into line, and compare the difference from the early years to the later ones. I cannot know for sure whether it is society or a personal trait that tends us to turn our aptitudes into interests as we age. I would say that it's society, and then weakness on the part of the individual. It silently makes us not follow alot of our interests, because it makes us look a fool when we fail. We are guilty of it, and alot of the times without even knowing it. It really is nothing more than a selfish desicion that we make, that causes us all to lose. A personal shortage, that brings society down. Only by chance will a realist ever turn a dream into reality. Your dreams are the only limit to your success. If the fight can't be taken out of your dog, you'll make it. If not, there is something about the risk that makes it all the more worth while. |

For something that used to come so easy, I made a surprisingly big deal about it. Even if it did last only 10 mins. That is 10 mins longer than I lasted the day before. It used to be that my abdomen would last forever; and the rest of my body as well, for that matter. Today though, I strap on my watch for the first time in months, put on that wee trance machine and for 10mins of one foot in front of the other I'm running. It's brilliant. Tonight had it's fair share of ricies. Lettuce talk about education here for a moment, and who is the educator and who is the student. Don't even think for one minute that you had me sitting down in a desk taking notes. Don't even fool yourself into thinking that you don't want to do something, just because you believe that you can't. Your success is limited by nothing more than your dreams. Whoever said that is brilliant. That was you, you clown; so stop showing off. Put me in front of a class, and put a certificate in my pocket and we'll see who's showing off. Security this, and schmigly that, still turns 4 years into 38k. I suppose that is still more than the 4 that I just filed for, so who's taking and who's receiving. A. It's your turn to decide. Way off topic, and even a little bit uncalled for. You're making assumptions off things that you didn't even witness. Actually, can I please have my hand back... A few days of anticipation turned into a talk with Stella tonight. I'm not even talking about S.I.AM'S, although it does fit the description. Besides, that was days ago. We outlined a few things, but mostly just came up with numbers. Numbers that conflicted with one another. Give yourself a pat on the back. That french tutoring idea is brilliant. Talk about taking advantage of situation. Ken Ja na. There is no telling how they got soo itchy, but it's apparent that itching them isn't helping. If you can just put a hat on, that mullet is making too much noise; let me just close them for a minute, and see if that helps |
