01:35 pm - I missed you all. :) So glad to be back.
Old Friends - Simon and Garfunkle
Old friends,
Old friends
Sat on their park bench
Like bookends.
A newspaper blown though the grass
Falls on the round toes
Of the high shoes
Of the old friends.
Old friends,
Winter companions,
The old men
Lost in their overcoats,
Waiting for the sunset.
The sounds of the city,
Sifting through trees,
Settle like dust
On the shoulders
Of the old friends.
Can you imagine us
Years from today,
Sharing a park bench quietly?
How terribly strange
To be seventy.
Old friends,
Memory brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fears

Slipknot - Fuck This World
Fuck You All!
Running out of ways to run,
I can't see,
I can't be,
Over and over and under my skin,
All this attention is doing me in!
Fuck it all, fuck this world, fuck everything that you Stand for,
Don't belong, don't exist,
Don't give a shit, don't ever judge me.
Picking throught the parts exposed,
Taking shape, taking shag,
Over and over and under my skin,
All this momentum is doing me in!
Fuck it all, fuck this world, fuck everything that you Stand for,
Don't belong, don't exist,
Don't give a shit, don't ever judge me.
And don't you fucking judge me!
I gave you all my love, livin' in your own hate,
Drippin' hole man, lost step, no fate,
Show you nothin'but i ain't holdin' back,
Every damn word i say is a sneak attack,
When i get my hands on you,
Ain't a fucking thing you can do,
Get this coz you're never gonna get me,
I am the very disease you pretend to be!
I am the push that makes you move
Fuck it all, fuck this world, fuck everything that you Stand for,
Don't belong, don't exist,
Don't give a shit, dont ever judge me

03:52 pm - New plan...
Alright, since LiveJournal no longer appeals to me and it's just a weird ranting place now... I've decided to make it a bit creative for myself. Every now and then I will post lyrics to songs that I have painstakingly found that best sum up how my day/week (whatever) has gone. This will make my posts a bit more meaningful because I will seriously take the time to find songs that accurately depict my day. Then it is your duty (if you even care) to look these songs up and listen to them to get a sense for where I am. Or just read the lyrics. But sometimes the song says more than the lyrics. This also means I will no longer be expressing my opinions and thougths through my own words or judgement. From here on out, for entertainment and emotional factors as well as some insight. LYRICS ONLY! Enjoy everyone. :)
You get two songs today. Been a weird week and I'm so emo...
Beck - Lost Cause
Your sorry eyes cut through the bone
Make it hard to leave you alone
Leave you here wearing your wounds
Waving your guns at somebody new
[chorus]:
Baby you're a lost, baby you're a lost
Baby you're a lost cause
There's too many people you used to know
They see you coming, they see you go
They know your secrets, and you know theirs
This town is crazy, nobody cares
[chorus]
I'm tired of fighting, I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause
There's a place you are going
You ain't never been before
No one laughing at your back now
No one's standing at your door
That's what you thought love was for
[chorus]
I'm tired of fighting, I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause...
The Smiths - I Know it's Over
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well. Enough said.
I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Oh ...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me ?
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
(Though she needs you More than she loves you)
And I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Over and over and over and over
Over and over, la ...
I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real
And you even spoke to me, and said :
"If you're so funny Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you're so clever Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very entertaining Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know ...
'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms..."
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over
Love is Natural and Real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is Natural and Real
But not for such as you and I, my love
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can even feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...

12:37 am - Walk Away
So you say you fell in love
And you're gonna get married
Raise yourself a family
How simple life can be
Somewhere it all went wrong
And your plan just fell apart
And you ain't got the heart
to finish what you started
Yeah you fell in love
And you went and got married
Had yourself a family
How simple life can be
Somewhere it all went wrong
And your plan just fell apart
And you ain't got the heart
to finish what you started
The ones that you loved
The ones that you left behind
The ones you said you're trying to find
Are they trying to find you?
Somewhere it all went wrong
And your plan just fell apart
And you ain't got the heart
to finish what you started
You walked out that door
To find out where you belong
To fulfill your own selfish dreams
I think you might have forgotten

12:40 am - Even honest men lie...
So I exploded last night... And again tonight. I was holding it all together so well but can't do it anymore. Yesterday I made an appointment to go back to therapy... like I have so much time for that right now. *rolls eyes* Just a lot going on again, and been working on the divorce papers, so that obviously has brought up a few issues once more. I'm trying so hard to find balance in my life, but I think as long as I have so much on my plate, I'm going to be struggling to keep it all together. I have less than a year of school left, I need to hold out until then. Once school is done, I have a MASSIVE burden lifted from my shoulders, I get my 3 months off to tour Europe and Australia and Japan. I'll be able to collect and gather myself, then come back to a nice job and NO other commitments or obligations. It's going to be wonderful. That's what's keeping me going right now.
A friend of mine, yes you're a friend, gave me some advice a while back. The advice was to try staying single and figuring myself out. Well she was right. I'm loving this single thing. Being alone is good. As much as I enjoy loving someone and having the comfort of another person, I'm also enjoying being able to do what I want with no repricussions or no one to answer to. Once I get all this other stuff off my plate, I'll be in a much better position to attempt a relationship. Thanks for your advice mystery friend. I hope you're not upset about our confrontation... I realize now that things I said could have been taken out of context and applied to you, but that was seriously not the case, I would have made it the case if it were. I think you know that.
I see now that even though we think we're honest, and try to be as much as possible... Honesty doesn't always have anything to do with lying. Even honest people lie. We can't avoid it, or we are faced with dilemmas that can't be solved. Puzzles and situations where there is no out... It just happens. I would like to say that I've always been somewhat fair, and generally honest as a person. I've definately been becoming more so since I left Sears and started getting a proper education where I have been taught other methods to deal with life situations. (yes it's all part of that rounded education that all engineers get).
To the point now, I was put in a position today where I was asked to betray myself, or betray my loyalties to the company I work for... I did something I never expected... a third option I guess. I took the proverbial bullet not only for a customer, but my company, and my reputation. I'm not sure how this will turn out, but I saved the reputation of my company, by tarnishing my own by purposly making myself look like an idiot. It's a difficult situation, but I was smart about it... I now have an opportunity to take an idea I've been working on at school for my senior project and market it to not only my bosses, but several other companies in the same industry. Was that dishonest? A personal agenda? Did I subconciously sabotage a whole system for my own future personal gain? The egg on my face now, may be replaced with a lot of respect and probably money as well in the near future. We'll see how this pans out. Could blow up or go the other way. *shrug*
Either way... even honest men lie.

03:12 am - Far Behind...
With friends like you, who needs enemies?
you ain't right, you ain't never gonna be,
you're out of the car, I'm afraid you've been declined.
you shake my hand, while you're pissing on my leg
I'm cuttin you loose, I don't need this misery
your soul is toxic, you ain't no friend of mine.
You talk real trash when i'm not around
to build yourself up, you gotta to tear me down.
you'll have to excuse me, i've got better things to do.
you smile through your teeth, you talk out your neck
every chance you get you're gonna stab my back.
your time's run out, i've got nothing left for you..
I'm leaving you far behind.
I'm leaving you far behind.
Stop wasting all of my time.
I'm leaving you far behind.
So I'm pulling out the weeds, i'm taking stock
you can talk the talk, but cant walk the walk
Your narcissistic ways have gotten the best of you.
So I'm leaving you to sink, in all your glory
For you and me it's the end of the story.
Get out of my way, I've got better things to do...

12:30 am - *yawn*
Nothing much going on around here. School and work, keeping me busy as always. 2 more semesters to go. I simply cannot wait. *sigh*
You know what really bugs me? People who add Suicide girls to their myspace or facebook, and then talk about them in public like they know this person or something. "Oh ya I've known them for a few months. We go way back." (to 3 months ago, when you added them to your list and never talked to them.) or "Oh 'Erin' released a new set today, she's so awesome and funny. What's her suicide girl name again so I can search her other sets?". pfft. Whatever...
Also, since when did being kinda whoreish become 'cool'? I mean, it's always been something to be looked down upon. Even when I used to be a whore. I didn't do it to be 'cool'. But now it gets all the WRONG kind of attention. Peoples life choices confuse me. But I guess I was there once too. I guess if you've got it, flaunt it, and if you can get it, get it. You're not young forever. Just some people lately have been making some choices that I'm not very proud of them for because I expected a LOT more out of those people. Lots of potential is being wasted, and every time I open my mouth, I'M the bad guy... Sorry for looking out for my friends.
Maybe I'm just a bit jealous. For many reasons. But mostly because I'm here busting my ass off working full time AND going to school full time, as well as doing all this crappy travelling for work, PLUS online schooling on top of it all to finish sooner. All the while people are out having fun, living life, enjoying their 20s and getting laid. :P
On one last note... I wish certain people would start talking to me again. I miss their company and quality conversations. I hope you know who you are... I'm so Emo lately. *le sigh*

09:37 am - Out of Hospital now...
Yes, for reals this time. hehe
I was in the Hospital all day yesterday with SEVERE abdomen pain. I woke up at about 6 in the morning in excrutiating pain and didn't know what to do. So, being the doctor loving guy you all know me to be, I took some advil and tried to go back to sleep. Well, at about 7 or 8. I really don't remember now, I was up again, this time in such severe pain I was shaking, my vision was blurred, and my eyes were watering. Nope. Didn't go to the doctor yet. I'm tough, I can take it. Then I started vomiting. All over the place. I eventually got enough control over myself to drive to my family doctor. After collapsing on the front desk trying to make an appointment, they put me through to my doctor right away. He examined me for 10 seconds and called an ambulance.
While sitting there waiting for the ambulance. I called my mommy and told her what was going on. Called Peter, and got him to call my work and school.
I got to the hospital and was put through pretty much right away after doing some admitting of paperwork and throwing up a bit more. They immediately gave me some morphine and gravol. And let me tell you... that was friggin fun! Some of the pain went away. I was still in rough shape because they didn't know what was wrong with me yet and wanted to wait for the Doctor before doping me up completely. Doctor came in and asked me some questions. He determined it was a kidney stone and arranged for a CT-Scan. I got something called Torodol, which is an extreme muscle relaxer I guess to stop my kidneys from trying to push the stone out. They also gave me more morphine and gravol. I went to happy land. No more pain, ANYWHERE... Emotional or physical. lol
I eventually got my CT-Scan after about an hour or so and they found a 2-3mm rock in my kidney which was pushing it's way through to my bladder. They kept me in the hospital for a while to make sure it was going through and not getting blocked. And last night sometime. Who knows when because I was pretty doped, my mommy took me home. She got me a booster juice on the way back though. I remember that.
Any way. I pissed a piece of that rock out last night sometime. It fucking hurt like you wouldn't believe. Even with the morphine in me, and the vicodin they gave me... I still have more to pee out, because they put these drugs in me to break the rock up into smaller pieces so it is "easier" to pass. I'm still waiting for those other bitches to come out today sometime. I can't wait. The morphine is gone, so I'm on Percocet and Vicodin right now to compensate. This is quite easily the most painful thing I have ever experienced in my life... And the passing of the stone(s) is even worse. It's going to be a long day today. I'm in bed right now dreading taking a wiz...
They told me once the stones are gone, I'll feel fine with pretty much no pain. Just some minor discomfort from passing a stone. hehe I really don't understand, from the size of the one I already peed out, how these things can cause so much pain. They are TINY little buggers. The tubes and paths from my kidney to bladder to pee hole HAVE to be big enough to compensate. What's the big deal? They don't even know what causes kidney stones. They used to think it was calcium build up, but proved that to be untrue. Doctor told me people just get them, randomly, and for no reason. So why so much pain for something so small, that I didn't do anything to deserve? Terrible. If it was because of something I eat or drink or whatever, I'd sit back and say "ok, I deserved this." But with no real cause? This is wrong. hehe Alright, post over. I'm going back to napping. I'm tired. These drugs are fun.

That is all I have to say today...
Goodbye.

GAH! Sorry, that was totally an inside joke and I got a lot of concerned phone calls and e-mails. Glad to know you guys care though. I thank you all for that very much.
HOWEVER, this is a post related to a converastion I was having with someone about how I'm dying, and I only have a good 50-60 years left so I better get my shit together. Seriously... I'm already like 1/3 done. GOTTA GET A MOVE ON!
Sorry for the confusion folks. I apologize.

10:51 pm - Campin'
Returned from camping today. Had some fun, but realized I hate camping. I probably have for a while actually. I decided that in the future, "camping" will now involve a trailer, or perhaps an RV rental of some sorts. Going camping and the whole thing is nice and all, but setting up and sitting in a super hot or super cold tent just doesn't work for me. All the garbage and junk that needs to be taken out and put away. Packing the truck, blah blah blah. Oh well. We went river rafting a bit this weekend too, got sunburnt. But no surprise there. hehe
I've been feeling awkwardly lonely lately and I don't like it. Somethings gotta give in that department. Being the 3rd wheel to Peter and Katie or Josh and Heather is getting old fast.
I regret a lot of the mistakes I have made in the relationship department. Still a few ex's that I feel I could have been quite happy with today if I had done things differently. My therapist insisted that is healthy and helps to make me a better person. But I dunno, it feels counterproductive to me to think about all the things I could have done differently to make relationships work when I should be looking forward. My past 2 or 3 partners have been SUPER awesome, and I'm having a hard time believeing that I'll ever find anyone as good or better. I am a screw up when it comes to having amazing things handed to me and then pissing it away. *sigh* Oh well. Onward I go.
I'm tired, off to bed. This weekend drained me. *bows humbly*

12:06 am - Never had a song that describes how I feel so accurately...
The spring air makes me alive
The rain washes away
I’m given another chance
But I hope the leaves don’t die in the end
What’s the use in surviving?
If we’ll only lose the fight
Thanks for the experience
One time’s not enough
I learned a lot through your actions
It never was so opposite
Right now I still feel lonely
But a new season will come
And now the leaves are dying
The winter air is here
I knew that this would happen
But not so soon
What’s the use in surviving?
If we’ll only lose the fight
Thanks for the experience
One time’s not enough
I learned a lot through your actions
It never was so opposite
Right now I still feel lonely
But a new season will come
I want to breathe, the fresh air again
But the time has passed
So I will enjoy this, fresh winter air
Until the new season
Right now I am indifferent
I never felt so warm before

01:03 am - My bogus journey...
hehe I'm in room 420... That makes me feel gay beyond belief. Stupid stoners.
Anyway, my adventure to Edmonton began today. Went to work this morning, took care of some stuff and then drove out here at around 2 or 3... Got in around 6:30 by the time I finished fighting Edmonton traffic.
It's kinda boring up here... I can't get WiFi on my DS so no online mario karts for me. I bought a Nintendo WiFi USB adapter, and good news, IT DOESN'T WORK WITH VISTA! I was totally going to format this thing and put XP on it while I'm here, but I forgot my friggin XP disks and only brought my Vista disk. *sigh*
Well, sleep time now. Gotta sit at a booth for 6 hours tommorrow doing jack all.
It's really cold out here.... Bye.

11:05 am - Head Pains
Well, I'm having an issue lately with what I'm going to do with school. I'm getting really high up here at work and I'm being prevented from going further because of school. Right now, it looks like DeVry is going to be closing down anyway. I'm thinking of just taking one more semester to get the diploma programs all wrapped up which would give me certified electronics, computer and network technician status. Plus I'd have that little bit extra Computer Electronics Engineer thing going on on top of it. That way I still walk away with 3 diplomas and I haven't wasted my time. DeVry is getting way too expensive for something that is closing down and my quality of education is dropping substantially. Either way, I have a sweet job now, which would get even better if school wasn't in the way. I'm pretty much set here if I leave school, plus with those 3 diplomas, there is no way I shouldn't be able to get an awesome job if anything ever happened here. I'm getting experience in all 3 fields as well, so it all makes sense. I think I'm gonna do it. I'll see what I need to do to finish those 3 diplomas and be done with it. I'll go for my engineering degree later at UofC if I ever get around to it. Good idea Jason. :)
Went to Lethbridge this weekend with Peter and Katie and hung out with Peters Sister and her boyfriend. It was kinda fun actually. I mean, didn't really do much more than I normally do at home. We sat around and all hungout, played some video games, went shopping. That sort of thing. *shrug* Good to get out of Calgary though. It was nice.
I purchased myself a new Nintendo DS. Something else to keep me occupied. Got Star Trek, Metroid, Tiger Woods Golf, and Theme Park here to start.
Also, I went to the ONLY Zellers in Lethbridge... Now, Zellers and Marks Work Wearhouse are supposed to be distributors of Dickies clothing in Canada. I dunno if any of you have ever gone to find Dickies at either of those stores here in Calgary, but apparantly they get this "distributor" status because they carry one type of pants, in one or maybe two colors and sizes between 32-36... Well, that angers me very much. Don't call yourself a distributor if you can't carry a full line of Dickies clothing. I hate you... Well anyway, I go to the Zellers in Lethbridge, and they have a WHOLE FREAKING SECTION of Dickies clothes. I was so happy. 3 different styles of pants in like 4 different colors, Sizes from 28 through 46... Shirts, socks, underwear, gloves, hats, shoes, EVERYTHING. I got me some new clothes. Pretty frackin sad when you need to travel down to the only Zellers in LETHBRIDGE to find a selection of Dickies clothing. What a joke. I'm going to open a Dickies retailer in Calgary. So many people ask me where I get my Dickies from, it's insane. I get most of it off the net because our "distributors" are so lame... Whatever. I'll be making another trip to the States soon too, at which time I'll be stocking up again since it's half the price there too. And with our dollar so high right now, it's totally worth it.
I was looking to buy a new truck last week, but I decided that the one I have is in awesome condition, there is no sense in giving myself a new bill to pay every month for no reason. I'll wait until I'm sick of this one or it starts giving me problems. My parents want to buy my Blazer though, so I'll keep that in mind too. *shrug*
My love life sucks right now. I need to get laid too. I'm getting so stressed and aggrivated, the phrase "you need to get laid" definately applies here. *sigh* But, I can't seem to find anyone suitable right now, or the ones I do find that way live far away and I can't find the time to date them... And I really forgot how shitty dating is. It's so lame and time consuming. Blah
That's about it for me... I'm boring. I'm gonna go back to work now. And by work I mean play video games while the bosses are out. Smell you all later.

12:24 am - Well then...
So Telus has this feature where you can view all the text messages that come in and out of your cell phone. Apparantly Bell has been doing it for a while. None the less, Telus took it upon themselves to e-mail me every text message sent and recieved from any phones on my account since Jan 1, 2007 as an "example" of the new feature. lol
Some interesting conversations... Very enlightening, that's for sure.
Also, that is a lot of damn text messages for the past 5 months. Dear god. It's not a bad feature I guess. If I ever lose my texts for whatever reason, or need to go back and find old messages. Unfortunately, other than the e-mail they sent me, I can't go back further than 4 weeks on the web site. Good thing they sent me the e-mail with the past 5 months. hehe This has to violate some sort of privacy issue... Makes me wonder whom over at Telus gets to read my messages, or who else has access if they're "Stored" on some server somewhere. Creepy.
Oh well, such is the modern age I guess. Reading some of those messages has depressed me. I'm going to sleep now cause I feel ill and tired and bored and exhausted.
Star Trek owns my soul. :D
