In 2006 I,

*Finally got out of school after many long years, but am halfway to an economics degree. It’ll be completed…soon….

*Moved to Moncton more or less on a whim really. Had to change the scenery and give things a bit of a fresh start. With that in mind, aside from the school hiatus, I…

*”Retired” from playing music. In a Jay-Z sort of sense really. I was just burned out on it. Although it was tonnes of fun, and being on stage and rocking out is as addictive as sex for those of you who want to know. Always craving it, even today as I write haha…

*Landed into a real-live “grownup” relationship, full with all the grownup consequences and problems that come with. It’s still ongoing in a sense, but what is known is that right about now, coincidentally with the end of 2006, this relationship is ending, at least in it’s first incarnation. Things are evolving and we’ll see what happens in the new year…love you Mandy

*Drove down to Halifax and saw the Stones, again…also, saw this year Motley Crue, Kayne West, Alice Cooper, heard Sloan as I was walking to the grounds but missed them unfortunately-as I did when they played Reflections during the Junos and we decided going to the show was a poor idea. Also saw C’mon, and…ummm…many other local Halifax bands in the first half of the year that are escaping me at the moment.

*Got what I consider to be the start of a real job, after many false starts. Technically it’s really a call centre and our jobs aren’t real secure, but it is with the Government and that’s a start in my book. Just need my name out there. Also, I took the leap and applied to jobs in Ottawa, Toronto, Fredericton, Halifax…really lots of places…Toronto, Kingston, Gatineau….wrote many tests in my free time, and I should be hearing back from some in the new year real soon.

Not sure at all what 2007 has in store, but judging from appearances it may be quite the eventful year. Here’s hoping they’ll be welcome, happy events.

Take care of yourselves out there.

So, not much to report. Well, I do definitely see one part of my life is over – no choice of my own really. In all honesty I was really hoping I would be included in the evolution of the relationship, but I get the feeling that in my case, I’m not invited. Bummer. Yeah, you could say that again.

In true fashion (as per my life experiences) I wasn’t so much informed, as I was just ignored until I got the hint so to speak. In case anyone wonders why I burn bridges so seemingly easy with people from my past? Well, truth is the bridge was burned before I looked. I just refuse to let a new one be built out of spite. Sad to say, but I think this might be a case of history repeating itself if I’m not mistaken.

Fuck I hope I am.

Adios.

Headed home to the good ol’ Annapolis Valley on the 23rd (tomorrow!) bright and early, after an evening shift at work, and a possible stopoff at Doc Dylan’s to see some band (mostly going cause Gadge and Sophers will be there really). I’m looking at the schedule I have, and I’m not sure how it will all play out. Thinking I may have a 24 hour layover in HFX on boxing day or so, depending on a number of factors really ($ mostly, might have to wait for payday on the 27th to head back to NB)

I wasn’t going to go at all, but numerous calls by family members inquiring as to my proposed whereabouts, and offers to pick me up at least halfway, kinda made my decision for me. To be entirely honest though, I was looking forward to letting it go this year, too stressful right now to enjoy it, but whatever. As I see it, may be the last time in a few years I’ll be able to do this again (especially if dad moves to BC for good in 2007).

I do wish anyone reading, not reading, existing, standing in line with me at Superstore, asking me for change, or anyone out there who hats my guts for no good reason a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year, contrary to popular belief, I do believe it will get better as we all trudge along in time.

Adios.

Hasn’t been exactly a happy holiday season so far…or an orthodox one, as far as my life is concerned based on its past experiences. I’m swept up in the middle of something that is quite possibly one of the hardest situations I have ever had to deal with. To those who think I’m exaggerating, well I’m not. I am definitely being put to test here..one day at a time.

And no sorry, I won’t elaborate here, what Amanda and myself have to go through right now is bad enough without the extended viewing audience, sorry.

On a lighter note, I cut myself with a survey yesterday at work on the knuckle, (bad paper cuts at work) and now the cut opened up again….getting cuts on joints sucks, not a fan.

Hmmm…not even sure 100% what this is saying…but me and my blog personality test addiction have to see this posted

Find your own pose!

So, I am back. In the new place in Dieppe, still at StatsCan, and still feeling like I’m killing time. All the time. I suppose when I die that feeling will disappear.

In other news, not sure what my Christmas vacation plans are yet. I am off from the 23rd to the 27th. We’ll see when we get there I suppose.
