Time slips through my fingers and gets replaced with Zeds

I spent a lot of time talking to peope while writng my post yesterday. That is probably why some of it doesn’t flow. Also my brain is weird like that and I just lose track of what I’m saying and my brain is weird like that.

Jason, yes the poleman taught me about a new term. The shocker is two in the front and one in the back. Well the Minivan is two in the front and 5 in the back. Priceless.

Random Old Picture

Yeah I need a haircut, I had too much of a headache to get one, also it was like 6 by the time I got home and I was hungry.

I like linen paper, I hope it is not too over the top, it may be though.

Kitty had a nightmare or something. He was a sleep in his bed by the sliding door. All of a sudden he jumped out of bed with such force that his little kity bed went sliding out from under him and flew at the glass door. He sprang up and was in the middle of the room in a flash and he was looking around everywhere in the room like he was going to be chased or attacked. Oh little kitty, were you dreaming that my nieces were chasing after you or one of them real mean kittys outside.

I am pretty sleepy right now. On Mondays I wake up half an hour earlier to get ready to leave for work a half an hour earlier. Yesterday instead of putting the time forward on my alarm I put my clock ahead 30 minutes so I woke up got dressed and started drinking milk in the morning an hour before I had to. I climbed back in bed and tried to catch the sleep that I was missing out on. On the bright side Kitty came and put his head on my elbow and fell asleep. Right now he is beside my belly trying to sleep, well he stopped purring so I think that’s what he is trying to do. He doesn’t purr like a normal kitty or as often but I loves him all the same.

I better myself for Kathy, she drives me to want to be better, do more. Learn more, improve myself, learn more about myself and others. Get a fresh perspective. I really love her. I think about her often while working, not too difficult a task since my work currently is not too difficult a task. I have a beautiful picture posted on my wall with her. When I am feeling down I just look up and I am instantly reenergized. My heart feels warm and I go on. : )

The Pole, The Man, The Wonder

I have made $5 in interest in January. I am such a financial genius. The sad part is that I have forgotten or at least it is in the deep cracks in my brains, that is to say my personal financial knowledge is. It is rather sad but I would be struglling a lot to figure out how to do my own taxes. I accidentlly brought some nudity to work but no one really noticed except the two people who were looking through my pictures at the time.

Speaking of pictures.

I eat too many delicious beans.

I am pretty tired today. I spent another wonderful weekend with my honey. Unfortunatley I can’t for the life of me find work around here. A position that I could do they wanted 3 years experience and it was a 6 month contract. I was looking through the job bank at Laurier, the only thing I could be qualified for is tree planter but I hate digging. I still need a haircut as well anyways.

I might get some more Olympic stuff to wear but I am not sure. Originally I wasn’t going to but than I found out for 2 weeks of the year I could wear it at work and that may sway me, also the extra 20% off but there isn’t anything there that exciting for me that I may want to get. Maybe a black version of the hoodie sweater that I already got, but I already have a lot of hoodies so it would be just another to go in the closet. I don’t really wear hockey jerseies a lot so my Buffalo one will be much more than enough. I guess I am OK and do not need to find a way to justify me purchasing more clothes.

My name is Dean and I am addicted to spending money on trinkets. That should be obvious, I have purchased so many small toys and stuffed animals, weird shells for my tank and laser lights for it. I had collected a bunch of Bionicles. I have a bunch of video games that although I play it is rarely, I just don’t feel like it, I guess with that I was hoping for more of an interactive experience with more people. Today I contemplated stopping by Zehrs to get some grocery store sushi, some for today and some for lunch tomorrow if I had to drop Chris off at home. His house is by the Zehrs which tends to carry more sushi. He drove his truck home so I didn’t have to, which was nice. I purchase things on impulse and I regret it pretty much right away (like when I got the learn french software) or later down the road. I still go to the malls every weekend or close to it. I am glad to say it is mostly for viewing purposes. I still have the urge. I really can’t say that I have beaten it since I still have high visa bills. I am slowly saving more, very slowly. I would like to have a higher paying job. It is really sad and I am embarrassed that after 4 years of university and having been out of it for 2 years that it took me so long to find a job and that the job I did find pays scarcily over 25000 and really only requires a high school diploma. I feel ashamed of myself every morning when I wake up at 6 to go and work for the next 8 hours under my potential. I am so much more, but I am not, so says my job. It is said that our jobs are a part of our identity. Usally when you just meet someone one of the first 5 questions will be What do you do, and from that the other person begins to form their own take on who you are. Meh, I wish I was Batman.

The other thing that bugs me is the act of shaking hands when meeting someone. I am not too sure why, I think it is because it seems so formal and rigid and I am not hip enough to liven it up. I guess just also making contact ith another person, especially someone I just met. I was just thinking of this because on Saturday Kathy ran into, (well chased more like it) Tudor and Laura. This would be the first time I met Laura in person, only saw he in a car before. She shook my hand. I wanted to hide behind Kathy. It just seems like such a normal thing a normal person would do. I am somewhat normal but I just got uncomfortable. Maybe it is my many years without human contact or lack of being around normal civil human beings. I don’t know. I always just liked waving my hand saying hi at a comfortable distance. It just seems to say Hi and keep me safe from the ass kicking I likely deserve.

The snails, zee are everywhere

^ 710ml pops for 2 dolla at food basics, oh yeah. Unfortunately they weren’t the iCoke bottles so no points for movie tickets. I am finally listening to metric, they are pretty plain so far, although I am just two songs in. They are quite listenable though and I think they will grow on me. I remember hating Cocoon Crash by K’s Choice at first but now I listen to all their songs, they got a quiet pleasurable listening experience to them. Makes me warm and fuzzy. I remembered how to transform my megatron, it took me an embarrassingly long time to finally remember. They are very clever with having to turn things around and move them from one end to the other to get it to change forms.

I sneaked a surprise on Kathy, after two years I finally got around to printing a picture of myself and framing it for her. I am quite the narcissist, I know. Actually we are both in the picture hugging, ahhhh how cute. Who wouldn’t want to have a picture of all this.

The cat looks angry at my nieces. He is just sitting down and he hears them coming so he just casually walks towards the sofa to either go behind it or under it.

I enjoy using torrents as my VCR but today while watching Battlestar Gallatica, even though it was a really good episode I just zoomed over parts just to get to the real meaty parts of Battle Star. No real reason, just because mostly. I did it to Stargate last week as well. Maybe I have lost patience for TV. Today I guess I was just pressed for time because of the oh so important sale at Food Basics. I forgot that Waterloo does have a Food Basics, a very ghetto one but it is there across town. Weird the last couple of days random people have been asking for directions to the ice rinks. The first guy was asking for RIM park specifically, the second guy wasn’t too sure and I forgot about the closer ice rink so I sent him to RIM Park too. I did sound very uncertain so I’m sure he stopped and asked someone else for help because my directions were very vague. I didn’t even give my parents the right directions to that ice rink that is closer and that was for my graduation, whoops. I’m glad my sister caught that and straightened it all out.

I’m halfway through the article and I don’t see what is so magical about Metric but I sure do like Monster Hospital.

Damn I thought there was a spell checker.

It’s Snowing! And I want to lick Chicken Balls

It is snowing, and hard. This morning Kathy and I went downtown to hit up the farmer’s market. I wasn’t sure how busy or how many vendors would be there since it is the weekend but it was pretty full. A lot of yummy cheeses surrounded me. Kathy and I got an octopus. I hope kitty plays with it. The money goes to help rescue kitties so it is all good. It was a little chilly when we first got there. When we left it was raining, at first not too much, just a nice little shower but the drops just kept getting colder and bigger. The chinease grocery store by the farmer’s market has hot food ready to eat. I wonder if it has chicken balls. Oh so yummy and tender, I must eat chicken balls. I’m not sure the name of the building but we ducked inside the one that had the Sears outlet. It is no longer there. It was the first time I went in through that entrance, there really isn’t much in there. We hit the carbon computing store to see if they had any neat cases for laptops. They had some sleeves that seem to just mostly protect it from scratches and the occasional bump inside of a backpack but not too much. They had some armour laptop bag that were just solid and padded.

They also had a neat backpack with all kinds of pockets. Damn I need a new Mac. Now prepare yourself, for tonight we fornicate!

When we got out of the computer store, the rain began to turn a bit more snowish. The bus was fun at this point when we got on since the front was crowded with strollers and wheelchairs and people not realizing that chairs can be moved so at the front we weren’t all crowded, meh. After we got out of the yarn and food store it was just absoletly snowing. It was hard to lookup. At least it wasn’t extremely cold.

We might go see a movie later at school, should be fun, and damn I like chili and beans. I need to get my resume together. My nephew is having his birthday party today so I am missing out on ice cream cake. Oh yeah my big pleco died and so did all my other recently purchased fish. There is something wrong with the water because almost everything in the tank died at once. Except for the snails which are still everywhere and are not going away. Apparently they consume dead flesh and clown loaches eat them. I had my nephew look them up and find a way for me to get rid of them that didn’t involve me taking all the rocks out of my tank. Without realizing what 50F is he told me they would go dormant and hiberate in the rocks if I could get my 110 gallon tank that is indoors to that temperature, than I could vacuum them out of the rocks. That child is daft, or at least didn’t realize what the temperature is.

I still suck at pool

It has been so long, I miss playing it, I had a free hour so it came out to 1.26. I don’;t miss paying for it, it got ‘spensive sometimes. Lazy rainy day. I got called by a headhunter, I think they tossed out my resume as soon as they got it since she sounded like she was in a hurry and would send a package immediately. I didn’t get anything so I guess I suck again. Which I agree with. I thought I had more stuff to write about but it is appearing that maybe I don not. Yesterday I slept in until noon today I slept in until 9.30. I guess I am no longer a night owl. Oh well now to do the depressing work of looking at my resume.

My fish are dying

There were a couple here and there, yesterday none. I come home today and I thought a plant was in the filter because it was very clogged. It was about 4 or 5 fishies. They all bit the bucket at one time, odd. I am worried about my pleco. He has been out more, even when the light is on. Not only that but he has been much more active moving around and sucking on the glass all over the tank and moving from spot to spot pretty quickly. His body doesn’t look quite right. The cat is really enjoying it. He continously jumps from the TV (that is next to the tank) to the top of the tank and back down trying to get at the fish. Sometimes he’ll stand up and look in (as best as he can). He is so fascinated by the tank, he spends so much time looking at it. Even sitting on a chair away from it he just turns his head to look at it. Yesterday it looked like he was going to try to sleep but instead he stuck his head out from the chair and looked behind the chair so he could look at the tank. He is very silly.

Well it looks like Zellers has been sold, or well at least a recomendation was made, unless someone tops the offer it might go to him. Strangely enough I got a letter in the mail from HBC saying I am no longer an employee of Zellers. I am a Bay employee now, at least according to my paycheque, the difference other than that is nothing.

I was thinking of signing up for a flickr account but for the cost of 2 years and a bit I could just buy another hard drive to back up my photos. I’m not sure if the power supply in my Acer could handle it but I guess I could always temporarily retire the 8 GB seagate in the other one, ole reliable. I need to figure out what I should do with RRSPs, I don’t have much and I think I may want to hold on to it in case my job isn’t around much longer. Scotiabank has the worst mutual funds, in 9 years I think I am almost at the amount I initially put into them.

Oh well I have some fish to net out of a filter.

oh yeah

My pee is going to explode.

My urethra can hold it all in because I am all man. I should have filled in my endorsement form by now but I still haven’t. I don’t know why but I always seem to sabotage my career the most. I can do so much more to help myself out but I just don’t feel like doing anything. When I’m at home I just feel like lying on the couch and waiting for the timme when I will get up to lie in bed. And repeat. The only time I really feel like doing something is when I’m at work not wanting to do my current job, but that usually passes in a bit.

I don’t get why people like participating in fashion n’ motion, it seems I dunno superficial I guess. Maybe just because of the massiveness of the project and they get to meet and get twirled around by a whole bunch of people.

I have had a bad eating weekend, pretty much all junk food, including a large thing of onion rings smushed into my poutine. At least I haven’t had an chips. The new vending machines at laurier are loud. Someone ordered chips from one, from the noise that came from the machine I thing it put a bunch of chips into a new bag and filled it with air and seaaled it or something. I couldn’t think of any other reason it sounded like a vaccum cleaner. I’m such a slug, I don’t feel like moving, not even for DDR, I don’t know why, I don’t know what will break me from this habit. Maybe it is the food but I doubt it, even with better food I still don’t move. Maybe it is because I don’t really move or walk anywhere anymore. I just sit at my desk all day, before at least if I did nothing I’d be standing in place, or at worse leaning on something in one spot. I don’t really feel like starting any sort of new projects or reading other than light reading or trying to learn anything or really follow through with anything. Maybe it is just the weather, maybe it is the toll from being oon the road so much, I should sleep more. I did last time and it was soooo good.

Oh Kathy can now be found at http://heavenlyevil.com

Oh yeah Kathy’s olympic hoodie seemed to have a bit of a stitch problem on her hoodie’s front pocket. At the top at the ends of where the pocket is they have both become undone up to the point of where the vertical stitching is. Oh well, I still have the receipt.

Oh well I am going to go watch Kathy play DDR and bounce around. Maybe she’ll wear the skirt I got for her.

Headache again

I’m not too sure where it came from but I think it was the food. I have cold chills now and I feel like my skin is rippling above the surface and that it is loose, I bet it could peel off.

The weekend was a quiet one, Kathy studied on Sunday, on Saturday we pretty much watched TV and bummed around. We also go some Olympic Hoodies. They’re real neat, they have an extra pocket in the front to put an iPod in. I found out that Tim Horton’s has some meaty chilli and that carrying two 6 packs of pop bottles is a pain in the ass, especially when it is cold. I was cold and Kathy wasn’t, very odd. The same thing repeated as we were walking from the bus to my parent’s house.

On Friday we went to the mall, came back on a very crowded bus only to turn around and go back to the mall and watch Narnia. We were dropping off packages that we got at the mall. I go to the mall a lot for a guy trying not to spend money. I drove Chris home today and avoided the temptation of sushi. I slept most of the way home, or at least was in a state of half and half. My lack of sleep probably has more to do with why I am not feeling very well.

I need more blankets, my nipples are cold, actually nipple.

I’m sick cough cough, bah.

I stepped in cold, wet dry food.

It was still moist! and it was dry food, the cat carried it all up the stairs in his stomache for me. A great way to wake up. Work feels so dead endish right now and why not it is for me but I have only myself to blame, I don’t open my resume much or at all.

I got Battlestar Galattica min series, a bit more than I expected but I had it covered with a gift card. Time seems to go by so quickly sometimes I wonder how much of it I have wasted, there is so much more I could be doing. At least it is January, time will feel slow for the next while at least. Some day I need to shrink my pics and put them online.
