Yeah, always with the not being able to move fast enough in dreams. Stuck in slo-mo. Also, not being able to speak.

Colony is where it's at!

The Beach was retarded (especially the video game part. So dumb, I couldn't even believe what was happenning)

Hey great chatting with you last night.

Hope you're having a good day ... I'm stuck studying for the first three exams of six I'll have this week.

Hope to run into you on Jan 8th.

if you gave it a listen....here's hoping i didn't hurt your ears too much

Here's to being happy and feeling content. I agree with you. It's not worth stressing over. Sure, sometimes loneliness can get you down, but it's not worth settling for just anyone who fills the void. I know that I won't be happy with someone who isn't right for me, it's just a matter of finding the right person.

Yeah, you make me feel happy too

change programs? how so?


sounds like an interesting experiment there, oh my!

I agree. Being nice is always good. It pays off. People do rememeber. Yours is an awesome philosophy, and I belive it will see you through. You're very sweet , don't ever lose that.
Later.

Wow Kanmi,

Thanks for the kind words. Hearing from you really makes my day.
I like having a good person to talk to and it's nice to be able to tell someone what's happening in your life and even vent about all the injustices of the world.

I don't want to just whine all the time, so here are some good things.

-I'm sick, but that means that I got to stay home from work today. I slept in, went to the walk-in clinic where everyone was friendly and helpful. (plus, I was in and out in 15 minutes, and I got the good drugs for cheap cause I got Blue cross).

-I also went to the CD plus and listened to a bunch of albums on a little Canadian label "Constellation" that the friendly people at the store suggested to me. I even bought one of the Discs by a band called "Do Make Say Think". They're pretty neat. All the bands on this label have a similar sound (kind of a pulsing instrumental movie soundtrackish thing) and I kind of dig it. (plus all the cardboard album covers are really neat and well designed.) Some of them have windows on the front, and they come with a bunch of cards inside that you can switch around. I like graphic design when it's used for the purposes of good, instead of evil.

-My friends art project that I helped him with seems to be working.

-I went to a friends house tonight and watched Dodgeball.

-someone said sweet things to me.



Hey! You wanna come to my staff christmas party? It's this saturday at Tops Steakhouse, with a little friendly pool to follow. I'll pick you up at 6:00

Hey look! It's Steve the Pirate!

It seems to always be my way, that I'm my (coolish) self around people I don't care much about, but an acute moron when I'm around somebody that really impresses me.

I'll be all right. I've just been coughing up parts of various organs, and feeling like my head is going to explode. It kind of culminated the other day, and I think I'm gatting better.

What didn't help was that we have been so busy with work, that I couldn't afford to take time off, plus, I have been helping my friend with an art project in the evenings, and things have not been going as planned. I will say nothing more, than it involves motion sensors, relays, a stobe light, a ceiling fan, and photography. It makes my head spin just thinking about it. It'll be really cool if it works. Fingers crossed.

Yes, I would say that both oceandaemon and bcguitar33 raise strong points.

When I started working as an electrician, I had to kiss my hands goodbye. My cutucles are constantly torn to shreds from reaching into my toolpouch for stuff. (to the point where they always hurt, and sometimes crack open and bleed) As well, I generally have about 6 or 7 significant lascerations on my hands at any given moment. (You cut yourself and just tape it up and keep going). One guy I worked with was reaching into a joist space in an old house and got a sliver (actually, more like a shard of wood) buried under his thumbnail all the way to the back. He just pulled it out with his linesmen pliers and kept going. I, on the other hand, nearly vomited.

Also, I would definitely agree that the demographic of this website is more openminded to females in the workplace than, say, at a local Hooters.

BTW, it takes a tough mother to nail through thrree of his fingers and keep going. Ouch!

I know exactly what you're going through.
I'm nearly at my breaking point with student loans ... while I'm getting harassed about paying back my earlier loans - even though I'm back in school now.
I hope everything works out for you.
*Hugs*

It's wierd running into people you used to be close too. I ran into a girl recentlly, who I'd been very close friends with, and suddenly found my old attraction to her magnified tenfold. We'd been great friends as kids, but nothing more. Seeing her again though, made me wish that she lived here in Cali.

On the other hand... I've run into a couple of women I'd once been intimate with. In both cases, I realized that I had still been harboring feelings for them, but once I met them again, it killed all of that. Both of them made me wonder why I had ever been attracted to them.

What's so wierd, is realizing how much time has changed your perception. And wondering if they had changed, or if it's just you.

Wow. That was boring. Sorry about that. I don't think I helped at all either. I tried though! Really I did.

A profile pic! I make people work for a real pic of me. If they don't look past my front page, they just assume I'm Dangermouse.

HEY...BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE i GOT A COMMENT... Maybe I'm too busy, maybe I don't spend enough time on my profile... nice to hear from someone.
Need a back rub. If that could help I know a great "massotherapeute" (I don't know how to say that in english... sorry) in montreal. She's amazing!

ugh....winter here is pretty crappy and i hate it...



i used to have to walk up a decent distance to and from the parking lot to school...then someone with an upper lot space fucked up and got his space revoked and i happened to be #1 on the waiting list.....


i could deal without cable tv....but take away my cable internet and i shall kill you




deep fried candy bars?!!!! wow. and i though deep fried ice cream was weird...

Close. Very close. I live in Medicine Hat, which is the true redneck capital. More giant 4WD trucks than you can shake a stick at, and less ethnicity than could shake a stick at you.

I actually grew up on a farm just outside of a small town named Seven Persons, (just 1/2 an hour from "the Hat"). I went to an all cowboy school, and I was one of like three little skater punks that got picked on. Most of my friends lived in town anyways. (Silly footnote. I vowed that I would never listen to country music when I lived there. Now, I find myself really being drawn to bluegrass stuff like AA Soundsystem, and Nathan. I guess you can't escape your roots. I still hate pop country and all that garbage.)

Funny you should mention thrift store shopping, cause we just returned from "Midnight Madness". (Every year before Christmas, downtown keeps all their businesses open till midnight with sales and stuff.) Regularily downtown is so dead, but on "Midnight Madness" a lot of people go down there, and they block off traffic and everyone just walks around and shops. Well, just so you know, things were kind of shutting down at 10:15, thats how old the population of this town is. It's kind of a retirement town. Oh well, it's still cool here, (in an uncool kind of way). We went to Salvation Army, and a few pawn shops, but I didn't really buy anything cause I'm a good boy who saves his money.

Um, not to insult you or anything, but do you consider -8 to be cold? Maybe it's just cause it's beginning of winter, and you're used to warm weather, so when -8 hits, it feels coder than it really is. Cause, um, it's not really cold here until -20. Some days we actually get -40(although not yet this year, thankfully). Actually, the air is pretty dry here, and I think that makes a big difference. You know how people always say "Yeah, but it's a DRY heat"? Well it works both ways.

I usually like the winter. I love snowboarding and sledding, and all the other stuff. But I work outdoors a lot (I'm an electrician), and most of the houses I work in have no power (Which is why I'm there), and thus... no heat. It's often colder inside than out, and to my dismay, I have found myself growing to dread the cold.

Yes, no tv and no beer make Homer something something. I have given up cable as well, and I feel much better because of it. I used to tell myself that I only had cable for Simpsons, and Motorcycle Racing, but I would sit there and watch it even when nothing good was on. What a waste of time. Some days I miss it, but really I'm better off without. (I just need to find a way to watch my races).

Also, it was right of you to eat that pineapple. You should have heard the shit it was talking about you. I used to hate pineapple, until I had a fresh one. I tell you, for my money, nothing beats fresh pineapple. Soooo good.

Soooo, you have beautiful, dark, messy hair eh? That's hot.

Yeah, I've found that the ideal answer to the profile questions changes from day to day, depending on how the world treats you.

How did this guy screw you over, if you don't mind my asking. If it's too personal, then by all means you aren't obligated to tell me.

Anyways, you do seem to be a really pleasant person. I obviously don't know you very well or anything, but I like that you have positive things to say, and it's generally been pretty uplifting for me to hear from you. Thanks. You're sweet. And take it from me, sweet will get you hurt. I'm sweet too. I guess everyone gets hurt, but it's how you handle it that shows your personality. What a disjointed paragraph this has been. Welcome to my head.

You're name is back! Good to see you again! As soon as I got used to the first name change, you went and did it again! I'd scold you, but I'm not really one to talk.

You forgot the hot chocolate! Blankets, a warm fire, a hot individual to cuddle with, and hot cocoa, with minimarshmallows. It's an essential, yet often overlooked, piece of the equation.

I love winter too!!

Ah, the girl of many monikers. You should change your name every day, just to keep people on their toes.

How on earth did this Jerky McJerkerson discover your name on here, and know that it was you. Without any pictures he would have to be a pretty good stalker.

Sounds like you need a kind of witness protection program, or like suicide protection program.

Yeah, I need about an hour in the morning also. I like to ease into my day. A relaxing shower, good breakfast, a little music.

I went to Japan with a friend of mine about 4 years ago. The plan was to find jobs and just kind of check the place out. Luckily, he had been there a couple of times, and he was teaching himself the language. (He are smart)

The previous time he had been there, he worked at the Capenwray, which is an international Bible school/ center for groups to have retreats and stuff, and so, when Tanazawa (The owner of said establishment) found out he was coming, he offered that we could stay and work there for room and board, and a little extra spending money (like a couple hundred bucks a week, which was a lot, cause we didn't have to really spend anything.)

We served meals, did housekeeping and renovation stuff, and a lot of maintenance and yardwork. (The coolest thing was that I got to design and build a brick layout for a spanish style garden.)

Anyways, the area where we lived was kind of a resort town (like Banff) at the base of mount Fuji, so it wasn't all crowded like Tokyo, and it actually felt like home. Tanazawa and his family all spoke very adequate english, and so we got around fine. It was a lot of fun, cause I too am just enamoured by Japanese culture and style and stuff. Japan was really the only place I really wanted to travel so badly that I actually did it.

I absolutely despise the current mustang. The new one has a much better front end, but still lacks independant rear suspension (translation- It steers like a pig by the tail.) I too feel that Ford has very little to offer me. In fact I don't really like any current American cars. The old muscle cars are cool (Not all of them though, still hate the Mustangs) I like little Japanese cars (not all of them though, cause the Civic is stupid). I would say that there aren't many categories of anything of which I like everything in them. (huh?) I'm quite discriminating in my tastes (not like racial or sexual discrimination), but something has to pass rigerous scruteny and prove itself worthwhile before I will give it the COOL stamp of approval. My friends and I are notoriously hard on movies and music and pop culture. In fact, that may be a little part of why not too many of us have girlfriends. We probably come off as sounding pretty harsh, but really, we just don't accept something because it's "new and improved", or because everyone else likes it.

Wow, talk about a rant. This probably belongs in my journal more than it does in yours. I think I might steal a portion of it for my own use... if that's ok with you.

Anyways, FULL HOUSE. READ EM AND WEEP!

Hehe, I might just change my alias too. You didn't think changing your alias would draw that much attention did ya?

Hey, when are we gonna see pics of your tattoos?

I agree with your idea of wanting to be in love and I will add to that I don't neccessarily want to be loved in return although it would be nice. I can deal with the non-reciprocity of love if I'm blindly in love which I have been. Man, the landing was tough on that last dump though. whew!!
