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
