You know, I often think about updating this blog. Or I'll think of something that'd make a great post, but then I don't follow through. I think that dial up has a lot to do with it, and my computer's mouse and keyboard working only intermittently is also the source of some frustration.
I'm in the Smithville library updating this time. It's not as exciting as you might imagine.
I'm looking forward to the holidays this year. I am every year but it's going to be nice to celebrate them in Canada again. I desperately want it to snow though! I'm very excited about Fiona's visit to Canada in 1 week as well. I want it to snow as much to show off how MUCH show we can get as I do just to have a lovely white Christmas.
It's going to be weird to be home but have Ayden away though. He'll be in Madagascar and celebrating his first Christmas away from home. I'm going to miss that guy.
Anyway, this is more of a ramble than a post, but it's kind of the mood I'm in today.

Job Search '09: Conclusion!
I took a little while to decide to post this after writing the last entry. I don't know why, but I am terribly sorry. I realize how, for many of you, without a constant record of the daily goings on in my life, your own lives seem to start to lack meaning. I know this, and yet I persist in my irregular posting patterns.
And back to the point...
I start tomorrow. I got hired at The Second Cup as a barista, but in the end turned it down for another job as a barista/shift manager at Starbucks. I have purchased my new black trousers, 2 new black shirts, and a lovely pair of leather dress shoes (I had to search long and hard for these, because I was committed to wingtips and brogueing and leather uppers. The result was more expensive, but completely awesome in all ways.) all washed (okay, not the shoes, but they were treated!) and dried, and ready to go in the morning.
I don't know how long my shift will be, nor where the remainder of my training is going to be, but I know where and when my first shift starts, and that's enough for me!
I can't wait for the money to start rolling in! Legal employment! Oh man, it's been a while!

Job Search '09 II
So, yesterday I went back out, once again, into the cruel world, to hand out resumes, fill out application forms, make good impressions, and secure employment.
I realized early in the day that the 15 resumes I'd handed out the day before had a small typo. Where it should have said that I worked at Blockbuster Video in Grimsby, it instead read that I'd worked at Blockbuster Video in Blockbuster Video. I fixed it and printed 15 more resumes. What else could I do?
And so, the adventure commenced again. Mom came with me this time and acted as the getaway driver. Our first stop was in Smithville at a pub. Our second stop was to get breakfast. In fact, after this our pace never picked up until much later in the day. After handing out about 5 resumes, Mom pointed out that I had a toothpick in my hair. I'd put it behind my ear and not noticed that I still had it hanging there. Then I noticed that my shirt had come untucked at the back, and that I looked like a jackass. So I tucked it in and kept on trucking.
By the end of the day I'd handed out my 15 resumes (bringing the grand total for the last 2 days to 30 resumes out there in circulation) and I'm planning on heading into Brantford later in the week to try to circulate a shit load more. And hopefully I'll get so many call backs that I'll get to pick and chose.
Oh, and if anyone happens to be reading this, how 'bout dropping me a comment. I'm like 10 posts in with 0 comments on each.

Job Search '09
Today was the day that I passed out a bunch of resumes. Well, it was the first day that I passed out a bunch of resumes. I'm planning to pass out even more tomorrow.
But anyway, for those of you who're interested, I will now chronicle my days exploits...
I awoke, took my mother to work, and prepared myself for a days job seeking. I left earlyish in the day, and headed directly into Grimsby. I was prepared, and brought with me all the things I felt I would need during the day. A stack of resumes, a thermos of tea, my wallet, and my cell phone. I was ready! I had just enough time to accept a phone call from Fiona in Reading and talk to her a bit about her unfortunate living situation (from what she's told me I gather it's like living in a smokey dog house. And that's not a pleasant combination!) before heading out.
For a large portion of the drive into town I was stuck behind a large tractor with an even larger attachment on the back. He took up the entire road, and pulled over to let oncoming traffic pass, but cared not for the traffic backing up behind him. Eventually he turned, and my quest picked up speed.
My intention was to secure a job as a waiter or barman (or barrista) and thus I haded out resumes to each pub, restaurant, and cafe I passed in town. The first few pubs took my resume but weren't hiring. The first cafe said that had I put my resume in 2 weeks ago, I'd have probably had a job by now, but that they'd just hired. The 'Judge and Jester' asked me to come in again to talk on Monday. I like the sounds of that, and thus, I plan to revisit this local on Monday.
Then I drove towards Hamilton and realized that I'd had to pee since I got in the car. Subsequent to that, I'd drank the tea I'd packed and now REALLY had to pee. So I went to Subway and used their bathroom. I then, purely out of guilt, as I could have saved the money, bought myself a 6 inch sub. It was delicious and came to less than $4, so I didn't beat myself up much about the expense. After that I dropped off a few more resumes before hitting Upper James and finding that I hadn't printed enough resumes. Thus my search continues tomorrow.
Hopefully when I get home (I'm rocking the high speed at Caistor Central School at the moment) I'll have a slew of messages on the machine offering me greater and greater employment opportunities. However I've still printed out another 15 resumes to hand out tomorrow.
Wish me luck, and I'll keep you posted.

My Steampunk Style
The Ragamuffin
29% Elegant, 21% Technological, 37% Historical, 44% Adventurous and 69% Playful!
You are the Ragamuffin, the embodiment of steampunk playfulness. Chances are, you approach the genre from a much more casual and lighthearted standpoint than most other fans. To you, there is always an element of play inherent in the genre, and you may very well enjoy fashion as much for the opportunity to dress up as for the style itself. You probably wear goggles as an accessory, and rarely as actual eye-protection. Your outfits are likely to incorporate a lot of brown or cream, and combine large boots, Victorian corsets or vests, aviator caps or bowler hats, and gypsy skirts or slacks, simply because you like them all.

Strange, but true
I don't know what it is. Maybe it's being back in Caistor, perhaps it's the autumnal weather we're starting to experience (I loves me that autumnal season! 's my favourite of all!)
But I'm feeling inspired. I'm feeling creative. I'm feeling motivated!
The catch...
It's not gonna help me get any money flowing in (that's right, I want a full on flow. None of this ebbing BS). At least not in the short run.
But perhaps. Perhaps if I manage to maintain this level of inspiration. Perhaps if I can remain motivated. Perhaps I could accomplish something that would be incredibly satisfying, worthwhile and ostentatious. (Although that last one is really optional. It's not really one of my main criteria.)
Anyway, I'm feeling bloggsy lately as well, so perhaps you'll all get to hear about my exploits and chronicle my progress. But in the meantime, riddle me this...
Who the heck were the ancient sea kings?

Little beasties
I've been watching, and really enjoying, a television series that I borrowed from the Dread Pirate Dobson called 'Supernatural'. In essence it's about a couple of brothers who go around hunting cryptids, demons, ghosts etc. etc.In the 2nd episode of the 1st season, the show centred on the Wendigo. That got me thinking. I used to have a tremendous interest in all things cryptological. Truth be told, I still do, although it's an interest I've done little to nurture in recent years.
And strange as it may seem, the Wendigo seems to keep popping up. Like in the 'Yak Wendigo War', part of an online comic strip called 'Scary Go Round' (I can't find the exact link, but it's in there somewhere. It's worth reading anyways, so go make yourself a pot of tea and work away.) introduced to me by the Dread Piratess Gil. And... well, I guess that T.V. show I was talking about earlier. Anyway...
So I got interested and looked into it a little. And now I'm hooked. I'm going to have to go through all my books here and scare myself half to death before I attempt to drift off to sleep. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, or ever worthwhile, but what the hell eh?

Poor little fellas
So while I was sitting around the Doras Gorm (Dur-ass Gur-um : Blue Door : Our little cottage) I got to drawing on the computer in MS Paint. I first drew a naked man running down the road into the distance, then a man with no nose standing next to one with two, then a robber and two lovely aliens, and finally this...
...which I liked best and, thus, decided to post it for all the world to enjoy. I hope you do.
And please, pitty these poor fools, for they know not what they do!

I already miss the place!
Enough of the single pictures posts (for now anyway).
Instead, I'd like to give everyone a little taste of Galway, the city in the west of Ireland that's been my home these past 8 months.
The song in this video is by a group called the 'Saw Doctors' who're from up the N17 from Galway in the fasted town in Ireland; Tuam (Rhymes with zoom).
You mightn't belive me when I tell you, but it's a pretty accurate representation of life in Galway.

Mixin' it up a little
And old logo I made a few years ago, and a new list of songs that I dig right now (in no particular order)...
I'm neither proud nor ashamed of anything is this list! They're all songs that I like, some I hear all the time, others that I've only heard a couple of times. Hopefully some of them you've never heard either and like what you hear! Let me know which of the 5 you like best!
1) Slow Disco - Izabo
2) Jerusalem - Matisyahu
3) Sota - Shantel
4) Joyeux Calvaire - Les Cowboys Fringants
5) How Can I Protect You - Aslan

Puppets rule!
I had been told that I hadn't missed much by not watching 'Hell Boy II' but I wanted to see it anyway. It was good enough (and as it turns out the Elves ACTUALLY speak old Irish!!) but missing it wouldn't have been a terrible loss to me either.
What it did do was get me very excited for the Galway arts festival! Especially when they go to the Troll Market! Here, have a look...
This is Hellboy...
And this is the parade in Galway...
And this is the parade in Galway...
Okay, so the pictures I found don't ACTAULLY contrast the 2 as well as I'd wanted to, but whatever, it's the best I could do!
The parade is done by a group called Macnas (if we're lucky) and their website is here...
http://www.macnas.com/index.php
Also... I don't know why the pictures go under the rest of my blog info. I don't now how to change that! Oh well!

Pictures are worth... making up for not posting?!?
Well I don't have the internet very often! So it's not easy!
But here's a quick snapshot of what I've been up to these last few weeks...
I was filmed for channel 5 and the BBC...
It was a travel show around some of Europe's more eccetric locations. I got to be in it at a monkey sanctuary where I had been volunteering. I think they're going to make it look like there is an ostrich there who's in love with me!
This is a garden that I've landscaped for fun and profit out in Connemara. This isn't the best picture of what I've done but it's better because it's got the mountain in the back!
And this is me enjoying one of the 3 new toilet plungers I've recently purchaised, so that I might juggle them!
But now I have to go to a VIP concert down at the docks. I won tickets on a radio show Fiona signed me up for! The band is from Dublin and are called Aslan. I have no idea who they are, but food and drink is provided!!

Overdue
Well, I've been up to a lot since last I had the internet. I've been robbed by gypsies, been stalked by an ostrich, taken 3 BBC producers on a boat ride through islands of angry monkeys, found cash work, knocked my finger nail so hard it's in the process of falling off, broken irreplaceable crystal, met and dinned with famous actors and politicians. The list really does go on and on, but I won't bore you with the details.
That's not what this post is about. This post is about the quality work that I've been doing here in Delgany. For example take this first picture here...
This is what the old barn looked like through the small door in the back when I arrived. As you can see it's a shambles and a terrible mess. Nothing lovely, quaint, nor romantic about it at all. Then, after 1 day I managed to sort things out and create this...
A much more picturesque and useful space to house this curious little pooch who's wandered by to see what all the fuss is about. All in all I'd say I'd not done bad for a days work!
(Incidentally that's the neighbour's dog and his name is Pie Face.)

What in the world...
I don't really know what to say about this. Please watch it and leave your thoughts as comments.

Actually, perhaps it's best that some of you (you'll know who you are) do NOT leave their thoughts as comments. After this video, I'm not sure how much more I can take!

Adventures on the horizon
For the time being I'll be leaving Galway, and heading once again for Ireland's east coast, and the county of Wicklow! I've been out that way once before, and spent some time at Carraig Dulra living in a yurt and enjoying life out of doors! And as it happens, I was told that I could rock up again for a visit and don't need to give notice.
So that's what I'm gonna do. I gave 'em the heads up but not even I know exactly when I'm gonna arrive!
http://www.dulra.org/Then, (or possibly before) I've been invited to a monkey santuary, also in Wicklow, to help fix a shack. This task involves me making a small amount of money which is more than welcome, and also the opportunity to learn to sail!
http://www.monkeysanctuary.com/
So for the next month or so that's what I'll be up to. Possibly longer as there's a family fun park in the area that, apparently, might be inclined to hire someone such as myself. In case you've not picked up on the pattern here, my cash flow has flowed a little more freely than I'd realized up 'till recently!

Enjoying the good life
Last night I went to the Crane Bar, in Galway's west side, to say farewell to a Swiss friend of mine. I've often been to the Crane as it has the best, and cheapest pint of Guiness in the city. (This fact is of course open to contestation.)
The difference was, this time I really listened to the music, and it was very good! I've often thought it very special and lucky to be able to hear music like this any given day of the week, but have rarely actually sat down and appreciated it. Last night I did just that, and broke down to do the 'tourist' thing a take a video of the whole thing.

My new Facebook App.
I made a sweet ass application! You should log into facebook and then follow this link and take it. Then you should come back here and leave me a comment to let me know how it all turned out!
It's a very insightfull quiz regarding your soul's archetype. That's right, souls have archetypes! And this quiz will clarify for you which is yours!

Aha
Done! The match is over (and it was a good one, unless you're big into Man. U.). But more importantly...
The update is done and up!
Let me know what you think of it!
I'd also like to add a little context to the picture I've selected for my profile. I know it's horribly unflattering, and that's why I picked it. It's important when viewing the picture to remember that I was not horribly sick, vomitously drunk, or dead when it was taken. It was just a bad moment to pull the trigger.
God it's terrible!

This blog is pretty shitty at the moment I know. I'm casually working on an update that's not only much cooler, but should be much easier to read! It's not as revolutionary as I'd like it to be, but I can't be arsed to learn enough code to rewrite the whole thing the way I'd like to see it.
I can't even write this entry because it's the Manchester United vs. Liverpool match on at the moment and it's actually pretty good.
The crux of this post however is hold on, and keep the faith. This blog is going to be better soon!

Travel Journal
So here's the deal. Last time I came abroad I kept a pretty good travel journal. It turned out to be an amazing pain in my ass, so this time I've been more neglect. This has turned out to be a stupid choice as now I have no written record of my adventures. And to compound the problem I've been updating my blog about as often as I experience sunny days in Ireland.
SO...
For now I'm not going to chronicle anything. going to contribute a picture of me and my old shoes at Fiona's birthday party, and a link to a cool music video I found on my Uncle's you tube channel. The man in the video is NOT my uncle.

Step back
So I'm apathetic and lethargic regarding this blog recently. I'm gonna try something different with it when I get internet back on a regular basis. 'Till then, watch this. It's very simple, yet very cool.

At last!
I've been wanting to make a sock monkey since Berlin, and today I did it! He's made out of a pair of toe socks which gives him both a cool head of hair and pretty awesome vice gripping hands.
That's his tail.
