I really picked the wrong time to lay off the double doubles. I realized mid last week that it's "RRRRRRRRRRoll Up The Rim to Win"season again. My, it sure came up quite fast this year didn't it. I usually do my part to boost their profits in order to win as much as a free doughnut or coffee (and yes, sometimes I smile and do a dance when I get a free coffee/doughnut) just to see if I can win all my money back in either, what is it this year, one of 500 prizes of $1000, one of 100 Panasonic 42" Plasma TV's, one of 10,000 iPod Nano's or one of 30 Toyota Hybrid Camry's (personally I'd rather have a BBQ or one of those nasty Shwinn Tim's bicycle's than an iPod, mine sucks and has corrupted and need to reformat every time I try to load music DON'T BUY THOSE!!!).
Now, I say the wrong time because since I've started in this Aircraft Manufacturing industry, I have gained a bountiful 30lb's and an activity level to do anything that would warrant me gaining that much weight. I can't say I've made some good choices either but damn... I would have thought that there would have been more activity than what I'm doing now. Regardless of the fact, I'm on debt reduction mode (yes, lots of KD, hot dogs, cereal and peanut butter are quite visible in my, quite near, future) so I can pay down my debt the quickest way possible. I'm just getting tired of always trying to get by... so, I'll cut down my play time for a bit and put some cash down on my bills. Firstly is calling Telus and getting my bills reduced.
I'm also getting tired of buying new pants to replace the ones that have hardly been worn to begin with. So, I'm going on a No Tim's diet and only having ONE repeat ONE coffee per week (plus it helps with the debt reduction b/s). So... Operation RED TAPE has officially been launched, I'm going to cut this red tape, I figure I can get rid of most of this debt in 2 years baring any complications that RED TAPE hasn't been planned for. Other than hooking or selling crack on the corner... this is what must be done.
So, after all has been said and done, Tim Hortons can go to heck as I drive by any number of 6 Tim's places, either the one in the Esso station or the restaurants themselves. I'll choke down more water if I have to... after all... water is free... to some point I guess.

In our lives for a reason....
So, I got this message from a really good friend of mine. She's an awesome person and we have a lot of fun together. She's not normally one to send forwards but I'm glad she sent this one. It's all about the people in our lives and how they come to us...
"People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime."
I thank those who are/were a part of my life at any stage and in future stages who have helped me grow into who I am today

Do you have it???
If you have it, you don't need it
If you need it, you don't have it
If you have it, you need more if it
If you have more if it, you don't need less of it
You need it to get it
And you certainly need it to get more of it
But if you don't already have any of it to begin with
You can't get any of it to get started, which means
You really have no idea how to get it in the first place, do you
You can share it... sure
You can even stock pile it if you like, but you can't fake it.
Wanting it, needing it, wishing for it,
The point is, if you've never had any of it, ever...
People just seem to know
If you need it, you don't have it

Choices Choices Choices, and some other stuff...
Ok, so here I am faced with another nasty ass'd dilemma. Just when I had thought I had made a choice to stick where I'm at... I find out that one of the guys my dad went to Bosnia with works with the city and they are in serious need of class 3 drivers and that any time I'm ready to switch... ARG!!! and for those of you who know anything about me, I'm horrible at making decisions... And just when I thought I had figured this one out.
So, on to other things. Why is it hard to date??? I've got numerous girls who are friends who are wondering why I am still single. I mean really... I think the one who should be asking that question is the man writing this message thinggy (thought I was gonna say blog weren't ya??... :P). So, just about everyone has told me that I should be married/steady relationship like, but really... my longest relationship of ANY type is no more than say... oh.... 5 weeks... and that would be stretching it a bit. Is it also wrong that I'm just starting to figure out how to date? At 27, you would have thought that I would have had that all figured out by high school.
Here's how things are looking. I've done the Internet thing... almost to death. There's a little cutie that I've been talking to at my regular Tim's and I've been wanting to ask her out but I just can't spit it out. Arg... that pisses me off mostly 'cause I so want to do it... but can't...lol I'm not alone in the asking girls out, that makes me feel a little bit better but doesn't solve the fact that I'm not outgoing enough to ask someone out. I just can't ask someone I don't know out... that I can't do... I need to talk with them for a bit and find out about them... I mean... what if they are dealing crack on the weekends? Or turning tricks to pay for college.
Anyway, I may have to face the fact that I'll have to meet someone like myself, not as outgoing and likes to hang inside and watch the Discovery channel for hours on end because we don't want to get too involved in anything out side our front door. Not that I'm opposed to sitting at home some days, but I really am wanting to get outside and enjoy life and start having some fun. As much fun as MSN friends are, they are online and I'm trying to get OUT of the house. The past day and a bit, I've been looking at joining a pay internet site, just because I am just figuring out this whole dating thing. And who knows... I pimp myself for a little under a month, and if it goes good, then I can keep going... but until then, for those of us who have done the Plenty of Fish thing.... I'm sorry. Most have had good luck, but I... have not.
That's how things stand for now... Later!!

Jonesing for a ride...
Driving back from work today, I suddenly realized that I won't be going back to drive truck back at W. T. Safety. Damn. I need that ride in the truck... I felt as one with the truck!!...lol ya right. I wish I had pic's for y'all to see, but... 'cause I'm a dumb ass and forgot to bring my camera with me to the truck (it was sitting in the car) to get my picture taken with the truck.... ugh. I'm a dumb ass... I miss shifting the 9 speed, the gearing down, the gearing up... all of it. Plus the fact that I'm sitting at least 4 feet in the air... it was awesome. And what I REALLY miss is the turbo whine when I'm running through the gears.
Reviews are coming up soon and I have nothing really to show any improvement since I first started. The way this place does reviews is that everyone gets a review at the same time... around tax time it seems, other than the individual employee's anniversary. Weird, I know, eh? But getting back to the topic at hand... I don't think my review will be all that stellar. I mean... you create the same part 60 times and tell me how enthused you are to continue on with, even though a different part, for another 60 times. Yea... I thought you might think that. I'm not all that challenged to work hard... or... work... for that matter. I miss the physical challenge when I work... I really dislike sitting around and watching my tummy grow bigger than my pants... Honestly, the best job I had was my part time job working at a Real Canadian Wholesale Club when I was going to school. I felt great with all the physical activity and keeping busy... was awesome.
So, to combine all those needs into one... I'm going to get a 2nd job. Maybe get something under the table... maybe not... dunno yet. All I know is that I need some cash to start paying off some bills... as I'm not doing it fast enough on my own right now. Ah well... It'll all work itself out anyway.

New area to forget about... :S
Hey, So here I go again, only this time I hope it works a lot better than the "myspace" account of which I started to gain a girls attention. Yes, I've even tried to do that, but to no avail. I'm hoping that those of you who frequent my never changing MSN Live Spaces. I've done some crazy things to gain a girls attention...lol That had to have been one of the worst ideas ever.
I'm going to try some different things on here, try up loading some cool pic's and if I figure it out, maybe a vid or two. This "blog" (man, that name really bothers me for some reason) will be going through constant changes to make it mine.
So, to start this on the right foot, I passed my road test today so now I'm qualified to drive a tandem axle vehicle with airbrakes... take that to mean, I can REALLY kill a bunch of people now....lol I got this for me mostly... it's something I've wanted to do since my dad got his... it was one of those things that I've always wanted to do since I saw the big trucks on the roads. I'm glad I have it, because now I have another door open to me. I'm looking at fueling aircraft at the airport on the weekends and maybe one or two nights a week. Looking to drive off my license so it wasn't much of a waste of cash... but I guess it's not a waste if I wanted it for me... right??
Anyway... Gonna turn in... hope ya'll like the new message thinggy... that's what I'm gonna call it now... my message thinggy, k?
