Light years later or so it seems, I find myself here. On this what seems like an endless vacation, I have found myself in Winnipeg, Manitoba if you care to look it up. Winnipeg is home. When I drive downtown late at night, and it is still warm enough to drive with the windows down, since all of the concrete is heated up from the day, bon iver playing on the stereo, the sights, smells, lights, and people just hit me. And I am home.... truly home, not just where I live currently. But where everything is. When you choose to live so far away (1600 kms) give or take, you think that nothing will change and everybody is on pause until you return. The only thing that hasn't changed is the memories, and most of the time that is ok. Have you been home lately?

not quite yet

So I knew my timeline was somewhere around the line of having to post again before it was a month a part. So I am a little early. Actually I had some free time and I was sitting in front of a computer waiting for something to finish so I figured why not. Well in 5 more days, I have been on my vacation for one month, and I have accomplished a whole heck of nothing. I went to vancouver for a week and half, and ate some pretty incedible food. I have been coaching the soccer team, tomorrow and for the next two weeks before I travel home for two weeks, I am going to work in a cabinet shop just for fun. So basically that is my plan, I wished at this time I had something funny or witty to say. But I just don't.... I need to make some money.

How to Walk With Confidence Through a Dark House

"Fill the house with things and people that deserve to be knocked over, upended, smashed flat, broken, spilled, cracked, punched, kicked in the face and cursed at. Turn off the lights. Walk."

hmmm

So I've spent all day today, organizing the office into the simplest manner possible. That anyone no matter who you are could find anything pertaining to anything that they are looking for. On Friday morning I start my 3 month vacation..../young persons crises/ Back to Vancouver in a couple of weeks, my brother in law is flying out to visit me there. Ppl better not be touching shit on my desk while I am gone for this extended period of time. I am going to sneak in from time to time to set up little booby traps that will tell me if someone has been using my desk. Although it could just end up being the cleaner.

Remember ...when friends were new, dreams were un-shattered and worries few...when recess was too short and life was too long...decisions came easily without need to belong...when storks delivered the babies and passions weren't so strong...friendships were un-broken...right was right, and wrong was wrong...when bad things didn't happen...when only skinned knees brought tears and the night light in it's socket quieted all our fears...when farewell meant just for summer and real friends didn't part...the fun went on forever and never left a broken heart.

I wish I was a little kid again when all I wanted for my birthday was cupcakes for my entire class & for everyone to sing happy birthday to me.. and money never mattered because when I was little.. --» [ whatever i wanted i always got ]

I’m just an immature little kid.
I sing when I walk down the street.
I still pee with the door open and dance to the sound of the shower.
My favorite holiday is Christmas & I stay up extra late. .
When it rains I run outside in the mud.
Growing up is for nerds. <3

gave up

I had a whole post typed that that encompassed pretty much everything from when I last posted. So than I hit publish, and my whole post was deleted and blogger told me to try again. So than I gave up...

"Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak; sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go."

I'll try again when I muster up the courage.

I was going to type a blog.....

I have been meaning to make a new post.... But I've been staying at the cabin and there is no internet. I know that may be hard for some people to comprehend, no internet, cable/sattelite tv, no radio, shotty cell phone coverage. But it is in the forest, and there is a mountain view, there is running and hot water, there is two great labradoodles, both vieing for my affection. Each becoming more and more pushy when the other gets it. Although I'm sure some people would not appreciate an 80 pound dog lieing across you while your in bed to wake you up at 7 in the morning so they can go out. I on the other hand don't mind it. So your wondering if your so content with your non internet, how are you posting this? Well it just so happens that I have a massage appointment this morning, and despite it being 2/2 stat holidays I went into the office to get some work done, and obviously to blog about it. I expect minimal creative energy to go into this blog while I am at the cabin, which is for another 3 weeks. I know, I know more minimal than I already put into yet? The answer is yes. I would post more interesting things if I knew how. It just become laborius when you want to post more than 2 pictures, and type something. Or has anyway succesfully attempted to upload a video. Crikey am I glad we don't have to pay by the minute when using the internet, I left that over night once, and it was still uploading the next day. Well I am going to attempt to set out what I planned to do, and that it is get some work done before my massage, and get back to the cabin before the dogs hate me.
