Summers Passed

2006-08-03T19:35:00.000-03:00

I miss cottage life. Everything was so simple. So laid back. So happy. Every time I go back there I come back with great memories...something this summer has, for the most part, lacked to date. The cottage is being sold this summer. And I plan to take advantage of it while it's still around. This summer has been lackluster so far....change is in order. Some changes are wanted, others not at all. Some positive, some negative. I like to this positive will win out in the end...it's always come around before....

This will be missed.

Shadows

2006-02-27T02:33:00.000-04:00

They say life in the real world begins when you finish university. I've been struggling to find this 'real world' that is spoken of. In search of this, I have found myself on the other side of the country, back home, and now in Ottawa. Thus far my search for the real world has uncovered nothing but feelings of doubt, loneliness, and uncertainty....a feeling of being lost.

For a period of my life recently, a new month meant a new province. A new province meant a new city to learn, new bus routes to get lost on, the now familiar streets full of strange faces. Along with new expectations and opportunities came the doubts, insecurities, and sleepless nights that seem to follow me wherever I go, like a shadow.

I guess the question is.....what IS the real world? How do I find it. Will I even know what this real world is, if or when I find it? I'm beginning to think that maybe I left my real world behind when I decided to pack up my life and jump on that plane. If great friends, family, fun, and love are it, then I guess I did.

I hope I can soon outrun these shadows that have been following me around these past few months. When I do, I know I've finally found my real world.

I miss this.

See video here...........sometimes it is delayed between audio and video so don't be confused if it doesn't seem to match up.

BUY THIS ALBUM...or download it, but shhhhhhhhhh. However you do it, just listen to it. I can't stop. Maybe I'll start a regular music suggestion on this thing...if anyone is listening that is.

View of downtown Vancouver from Granville Island. A few pictures merged together into a panorama. You get the idea. Much more visible in a new window so it's bigger. Thank god for that camera I bought or I would have gone crazy in Vancouver.

On the road again....

2006-01-26T00:53:00.000-04:00

Alright so basically here is my path from november until right now.

Pei --> Toronto --> Vancouver --> Victoria --> Vancouver --> Toronto --> Montreal --> Ottawa --> Quebec City --> Pei --> Ottawa.

Now I seem to finally be settled down again. Three months, about a thousand pictures, and who knows how many miles travelled I finally seem to have a home again.

Now all I need is a chiropractor to fix my back from sleeping on couches for two months straight and I'll be all set.

I am going to try to make a conscious effort to try to get back into this blogging business. I've said it before I know, but I think I can really do it this time. I am feeling inspired by this music I'm listening to right now and it's making me want to write. So from now on when I need to write a post I will turn this music on and let my fingers do the walking. Stay tuned....

What music am I listening to? City and Colour.

Game Time!

2005-07-14T09:58:00.000-03:00

So being bored at work I often play games on the internet. I was looking around certain sites that I go to often and came across a very weird name for a game.........
Now it may just be me, but does anyone else find the name of this game kinda weird considering it's a children's game site? See what I'm talking about here....

Somewhere, there is some nerdy game programmer laughing and snorting at the fact that he actually got that game to the internet I'm sure.

Help

2005-07-11T09:24:00.000-03:00

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Been pretty busy with work, school, golf, drinking, etc. Feels like I haven't had a lot of summer yet......one week.

So the point of this post is simple. I'm finding it very hard to decide what to do with my life in the fall once I'm done of school, done of work at dva since I won't be a student........
That being said, I am asking for people's thoughts as to what I should do or what they would do in similar circumstances. Any ideas or suggestions you have I accept with open arms, so lets hear them.

2005-06-18T14:21:00.000-03:00

Damn You Bridge! You make use prisoners on our own Island.
Imagine life without this bridge.......cheaper & more frequent road trips, access to canned pop, fireworks, and Angie's! Can't help but think life would be better if this Bridge were free....or at least cheaper for Islanders. Heck even a buy 4 get 1 free type promotion for locals would be acceptable. I mean come on! We have to pay to leave our province.

Let's rise up against this unjust imprisonment! Who's with me?!!?!?!?!?!?

This post goes out to all the nurses/science students out there who may be able to help me. All my life I have twitched a little bit right when falling asleep as I'm sure lots of people do. But lately, it's getting out of control. It has transformed from a slight twitch to more of what I would call a violent full body spasm that literally lifts my arms and legs up off of my mattress every couple of minutes until I finally get to sleep. Just wondering if anyone knows what the hell causes this??? It's getting in the way of my beauty sleep.....and we all know how much I need that!

If anyone has any insight let me know please!

Know what's gross? Hearing someone having a shit in a public washroom. Groans included.
They should make those stalls sound proof or play music in there or something..........

Just had to vent since that just happened to me.

Search for the Great Canadian Jacks

2005-06-08T10:36:00.000-03:00

On the drive home from Halifax this weekend, the boys(Bordo, Jimmy, Rick, B) came up with an idea. Drive across this great country of ours and document the ultimate roadtrip on film. Pretty common thought among people like ourselves I'm sure, but I wonder how many people actually go through with it.

That being said, I make this post as an offer to anyone who would actually be interested and able to do this at the end of August. I myself will be done of school, done of work, and looking for something to occupy my life. So I am in for sure. If anyone else is game, leave a comment.

T-Minus 75 days.

Scene from B's Dreams, Take 1. ACTION!

2005-06-07T13:27:00.000-03:00

So lately I've been having some epic dreams. Like the kinda dream that seems to last for hours on a continuous story....very vivid and movie-like. For instance my dream last night:

James and I were driving down the Trans-Canada highway over by sober's music. All of a sudden the car I was driving got stuck in gear, and I was thrown from the driver door onto the street while Jimmy was stuck in the car. It went into a couple houses and finally came to rest. When I went to see the damage, there was none done to the houses at all, but the car was crumpled into the size of a garbage can basically. Jimmy crawled out of it unhurt somehow, then the house we crashed into had a kid they kinda hid cause it was a mutant with a deformed face...ever see the movie "Wrong Turn"? the kid looked like one of the people in that movie.
Then there was a big storm by the hilsborough bridge, waves were coming up to the top of it....me and rob had to get to a soccer game in vernon river....lots of crazy shit happened between town and there. We had the cops after us for some reason....just a really looooooong, weird dream that could have very easily been a movie.

So I propose a challenge to everyone to build a machine that can somehow record my dreams. I will give anyone that can do this a 50% share on the earnings from all of my "Dream Movies" haha. It's a sure bet....get working!

Untitled (This is a post)

2005-06-02T13:06:00.000-03:00

After seeing the new Simple Plan video called "Untitled (How could this happen to me?), I became very frustrated. Why name a song Untitled if you're going to put something in brackets afterwards anyway? Isnt' the purpose of an 'Untitled' song name meant to give it some sense of deep meaning....a 'no title could express what this song stands for' kinda thing?

Anyway, after being very aggravated by this Simple Plan song every time I see it, I decided to look up how many other Untitled(This is the real title) songs I could find. There is a rediculously large number, and here they are:

Untitled (How could this happen to me?) - Simple Plan
Untitled (How Does It Feel) - D'angelo
Untitled (Union Blood) - Rancid
Untitled (The Color Red) - Pearl Jam
Untitled (Fantastic) - Slum Village
Untitled (Wicked Child?) - Radiohead
Untitled (Come To Jesus) - Chris Rice
Untitled (Tayter King Song) - The Cavedogs
Untitled (Lovers Turn Into Monsters) - Bright Eyes

And last, but not least........Mudhoney with no less than three:
Untitled (Snip It)
Untitled (The Fortez)
Untitled (Wooden Legged Cowboy Buck)

Of course I am overreacting to this, but it just gets under my skin. That is all.

Team Cystic Fibrosis

2005-06-01T14:14:00.000-03:00

This is a warning to all Mens soccer teams on PEI....Team Cystic Fibrosis is on the pitch! That's right Clark and Clow are re-united once again on the Churchill Arms dynamo. While best known for their unbelievable P-VO skills, never before have you seen two soccer players work in such union. In fact, you may not see us as much more than a blur while we juggle around your defense. Be sure to keep an eye out for the dreaded 'you know it' right foot kick....it may be a kick to the shin, or it may kick a blistering shot into the corner of the net. One thing is for sure, when you hear those three words, you best get out of the way. Consider yourselves warned......

YOU KNOW IT!
