Life, The Universe, and Everything

This summer I’ve spent a lot of time looking for a place to live, and stressing about what I’m going to do with my life. The funny thing is, though, I’ve done very little about finding any answers. I like my job at Rogers, but it’s definitely not what I want to be doing. I’ve known this all summer, but since all my friends have come back to town, I’ve become more motivated to get out, and find something new. I’ve signed a 12 month lease in Holmedale, so I’ll be here for the year, so whatever I do it’s going to have to take place in or around the GBA (greater Brantford area).

My problem is not that I have no options, it’s that I have too many options, and don’t know what I’m looking for. I know that at some point I’ll go back to school, for either my masters or another degree/diploma, but for the time being I want to try something new. I also want to travel before I get too loaded down with debt and responsibility. I want to do something that I actually care about, and something that I will enjoy.

I don’t know what’s going to happen or what I’ll end up doing, but stay tuned and I’ll keep you abreast of my upcoming travails.

Rockin' the LPM

Sometimes I get bored at work (I’m serious) so I tend to watch a lot of music videos on Launch Cast. My favorite videos at the moment are

En El Camino, My Doorbell, Thanks That Was Fun, and La Bonne Etoile.


The videos look a lot better once you have a membership, but I’m not going to encourage that because I don’t want to prostitute myself to the man anymore than I already have. Either way, you get the gist, and if you like them, I’m sure you’ll be able to find a way to see them in higher resolution.

Keepin' it festive

I’ve been thinking a lot about stuff that I really like to do that I don’t ever do anymore, and one of these things is going to community festivals. I’ve listed 2 events, and dates which I’m definitely going to try to attend. If you’re interested in going, drop me a response. The more people who come the merrier, especially if you can drive, and don’t mind taking others.

Harder to think than I thought.

Blogging is harder than I thought it would be. Sometimes you’re just not in the mood to write anything. I’ve sat down a number of times in the past couple of days and typed out blog entries, and then looked back and decided not to post them. I’m either not comfortable presenting all my ideas to anyone who happens across my site (thusfar my list of visiters includes Jim Tucker, and Shabudabu) or my entries are just uninteresting. There is so much that I want to say, but when I try to express my ideas they come out not sounding like I had intended. It’s frustrating and discouraging, but I guess that’s just life and I’ll just have to trust that the longer I blog the easier posting is going to become.

The New(er) Me!


I really don't know what else to type today. I got a new haircut (not pictured to the left) and I worked for a really slow 9 hour work day. I'm gonna try to personalize t his blog a little bit so I can make it feel more like something I created, that reflects my actual personality, and it is to that end that I am posting this picture. I'm hoping to find a way (reading back to what Shabudabu explained to Jim Tucker about 5 months ago on my blog) to make it my new profile pic. I've discovered that in my absence, Blogger no longer requires Piccasa or Hello!! (HURRAY!!! [although I feel strangely slighted now]) Wish me luck!

Bloody Daffodils!!

Bloody Daffodils!! After months of trying, I actually remembered my user name and password!! I was actually starting a new blog, and I entered a user name, and was like ‘Hmmm, I wonder if that’s what I entered last time?’ AND IT WAS!!!! I can’t even believe I’m back online with this thing! I still have no idea how to work it!!
