I should be practicing. I have a wedding to go to in two and a half hours to sing at. Three songs, all of them church-y but I don’t want to practice even though I know I’ll sound like shit if I don’t. So I’m just taking a breather from Ave Maria to blog a bit since I haven’t all week.

Last night I went out with Christina and Rachel to see a small ‘punk’ concert in the middle of Ancaster. It sucked but that was only cause the bands were fledgling and they just need time to work on their stuff. So it was okay. Afterwards, we took a gander around Value Village to see if there was anything interesting to buy. I managed to find a couple of shirts that I enjoyed enough to buy. We went to the Rude Native downtown after that for a bite to eat. They make good bruschetta there (and yes, I know I typed that in incorrectly. W/E) and Sangria which was the first time I tasted that. I was lucky to be around a couple of 19-year-olds cause I felt brazen. :laugh: Afterwards, Hess St. was having it’s Mardi Gras party so we went down to that. Christina gave me her license for the bouncer to check and I got in no problem. I guess it was cause I was wearing a hat Either way, I got in to the BAR and I was HAPPY. We didn’t drink much though cause Christina needed to drive us home and I didn’t want to spend all of my money right then and there. Drinks were like five bucks a pop anyway so I only had a couple: a gin and ginger ale and a rum and coke. Whatevs. It was fun testing the limits of Hess St. I’m sure I wasn’t the only underaged drinker but I was definitely one of the happiest for getting in

If I don’t post again soon I’ll do it now. I’ll probably leave a sticky above the last post so people don’t have to go searching for this info: I’m going to Ottawa from June 27th to July 9th and I won’t be able to do anything with my email probably so if you send me a form, don’t expect to get a response until after the 9th. I’ll still have access to the website and will probably update every now and then but I won’t have access to the email so yeah. You can email me just don’t expect a response back anytime soon

We are on the verge of purchasing digital cable for our house again and it ended up in a big fight between my parents and I. My mother and I were on one side and my father was on the other. He knew nothing about our wanting to move up with the cable package. For ten extra dollars we would be getting a bundle of digital channels. Of course he had to object to it :angry: It further proved how much alike my father and I are. We get angry quite easily.

Hello, hello. I’m glad so many of you liked the layout. For those who are wondering, the man is David Beckham, star soccer player for the Madrid All-Stars team (or something to that effect; I’m not too knowledgable when it comes to his profession).

For those of you who keep coming from the Usher Online website looking for Druex is Sexy go here. The webmaster has incorrectly written out the URL and it’s directing a lot of traffic to my website. Sorry for the inconvenience to you folks

I’ve had a tough weekend working with my mother at a bar mitzvah. I made good money though to add to my Ottawa fund so it’s all good. In a week’s time I’ll be on a bus going north to Ottawa I can’t wait cause I haven’t seen my bella since Easter which was soo long ago it’s not even funny

Back again, this time with a new layout. I decided to make a new one after getting home this morning at seven. I thought today was Friday and not Thursday and I went in for my eight hour shift only to find out I wasn’t scheduled to work. That was a big pain in the ass cause everyone had a good chuckle and I didn’t have to get out of bed so early this morning. What made it even worse was that I got up to find pouring rain outside my window. Somewhere, Noah was building himself an ark this morning. Thankfully, though it has stopped and I spent my morning working on this lovely David Beckham layout.

If anyone wants to hear the technical aspects, here goes: I found the images in the new Vanity Fair on stands right now. What attracted me to Beckham was the fact that he’s fucking gorgeous. There are some men who are handsome and then there are David Beckhams. Definitely not the sort of men you can simply brush off. Anyway, I bought the issue cause I really don’t know much about the guy apart from he’s hawt, he’s married to Posh Spice and he makes grown women weep. Annie Liebowitz outdid herself in the photography so here I am making a little shrine to his semi-nude rock hewn body.

I just found out that I need to go in to work in about 45 minutes. Some asshole called in sick and I just got talked into working three hours. Ah well. It’s just a little more money in my pocket. Speaking of which, I was worried that I wasn’t going to have enough cash to have a nice time in Ottawa and Quebec City with Leah in a week and a half cause I managed to spend about a hundred dollars in a week. Yes, I was very upset with myself. But to my surprise, when I checked my bank account this morning to see how much I got paid I found a hefty sum in there. I’ve managed to save over $600 thus far. If you know me, this is a very big accomplishment for myself. Especially since, for the most part, my debit card has stayed by myself.

I’ve had my weaknesses. I buy food when I go out, I bought the new Matt Good CD on a whim (cause it had TOTALLY skipped my attention that he was releasing one, so when I saw it I got all giddy and practically skipped to the counter with my purchase) and I’ve been buying things for Valo when I shouldn’t (Valo = hamster). But, I am really proud of myself. I’m starting to learn how to manage money. It feels good to be able to do so! Now all I need to do is emurge from my road trip with some cash intact

You know, life can sometimes throw you a curveball. It hits you, you fall flat on your face and you sit there dumbly for a minute wondering just what the hell happened. I’m not talking about anything really substantial, but I’m sure that analogy can be applied to pretty much anything. A few days ago I received the rejection letter from the fanlisting network regarding my application for the Matrix fanlisting. Many of my close personal friends know that the Matrix is my all-time #1 favourite movie. Ever. I mean, ever. Movies come and go, but the Matrix will always be there for me. So I was of course crushed when I found Hoppy had chosen someone else to build the fanlisting, especially because I thought for sure my application would have convinced her. Of course, it honestly didn’t but whatever.

Right now it’s 6:24 in the morning. I just checked my email and found something incredibly wonderful, though. A few days ago, as well, the current owner of the Mr. Smith fanlisting decided to offer it up for adoption. I being crushed by the letdown of not getting the Matrix of course sent her an email. I found out that she chose me to be the new owner just a few minutes ago and it’s like a ray of sunshine on my weary back. I’m weary because of work, by the way. Don’t forget I just got home from a night shift

There are things in life that seem trivial to others. You who are reading this right now may not be interested in fanlistings, may not even know what a fanlisting is (they’re addictive, believe me!). To me, they are a great hobby. I don’t have many in my life. Since I began designing web sites two and a half years ago, well there really hasn’t been anything else that has caught my fancy. So, in this incredibly long-winded post I believe I am trying to make a point. The point is, just because there are momentary setbacks in life - whether it is in regards to a fanlisting, a bank loan, a lover or whatever else - things will always come back up again.

I suppose this is just the eternal optimist in me rushing out and greeting you in the morning. I’m off to start that fanlisting now, though

Thank you for the uplifting words, all. I just had a bad day. I hate bad days. They suck so bad. :crazy: :laugh:

I don’t know whether country living is better than city living. I’ve had quite the gander of the country today as we drove through the Canadian shield to get to Parry (Perry?) Sound. Farms are pretty much all the same looking. The only difference would probably be the colour of the Ford truck sitting in the driveway.

I counted 52 stone men people had made on the boulders lining the 404 highway on the way back to Hamilton. Then I fell asleep and woke up in Barrie where there was no more Canadian shield. On the way there, I saw a stone penis someone had cleverly made. I guess they were tired of making stone men.

I’m tired, sunburnt and incoherent. I’ve been in a car for the past 5 hours with four other kinda smelly people. It’s time for bed.

There is a moth on my wall; his name is Eddy. He’s been around the house for a good portion of about a year now. Its probably not the same moth but it may as well be, they all look alike.

Depression sets in when you’ve got no love in your life and your primary job is serving customers on a Saturday night. Customers that come in through the drive thru holding movies from Blockbuster, wearing sweatpants and usually in the company of their “significant other”. It makes me wonder what I’m doing wrong. I’ve realized my main problem is that I’m not doing anything. If I’m not at home, I’m at work or with my girlfriends. I have no male friends to speak of. I wouldn’t dream of going out with anyone at McDonalds, though that may be because no one has ever expressed interest towards me there.

It’s just another depressing Saturday night.

On the plus side, Leah had a great date with a boy she really likes
