Sorry for the no-updatingness for the people who actually consider reading this every once in a while. Normally I'd update somewhere (LJ, my Wordpress homepage thing, MySpace) but I haven't found rhyme or reason to do so. Maybe I'm just in a slump of not needing to write down my thoughts, but I'll try to put something here every once in a while to satiate those who may actually care.
Nothing really changed in 2006; I turned 19, attained a drivers license to let me drive on my own, got a bunch of computer stuff I can't really use, had the heart dragged around twice, made a few more friends but none of those things aren't of big enough importance (the drivers license is kinda) or are too transient to really care about. One of the main things was that I've realized what friends and family I care about and who I don't care for past the confluent versions of "hey, how are ya?" in the workplace kinda thing.
I guess if anything 2006 gave me a direction to set myself in. Aside from motivational issues, I know what I want to be doing with myself in the next few years.
1. Music
2. Blogging
3. Working my ass off
4. Staying on Vancouver Island
5. ...and hopefully, find a girlfriend, ha.
Maybe you'll hear from me again here in a few months, and maybe you'll be listening to me in a few years.
I'll start off by saying; I really don't know how to explain what's been going on lately; It's been kind of ridiculous..
The new episodes of LOST start tonight... I'm excited :D It doesn't have a great appeal as it did in the first season when everything was still sort of a mystery and anything could be speculated about what the purpose of the island was. I'll still keep my eyes glued to the TV though since the show is at the point where you have that... connection with the characters you could say...
Life has been peachy, but everything is so repetitive and I don't like the direction that it's going. I want to move away, but I don't want to leave some of the things that I have here. I started reading job postings all the way over in San Francisco on the net yesterday just because I could, and because maybe I could find something that would let me start a new life... as dumb as it sounds...
By the new year, I'll be moved to Alberta and be working in the oil fields making over $400 a day, but it's the furthest thing from what I really want.
I want to live hereI want to make music
I want her, and to give her everything
I want to follow a dream
I want to help people
I want to be a writer
Don't get me wrong, I like working all day for a living, but what I'll be doing is the opposite of where I see myself and I ultimately see it as the bi-polar of my happiness right now. It's not something I'm being forced to choose, but I don't see any other avenue developing and I need to be doing something right now; or at least something better than dishwashing for a mini-restaurant in a supermarket.
Oh, life... Why must ye be so darn compulcated?
Thankyou for listening to me rant and vent...
Vox still needs that lj-cut function.
Today marks the first day that I've met someone in real life after talking to them for a short time on the internetz. It was kind of an odd experience, however it was fun nonetheless. I like to talk to people for a good while before I intend to meet them; which obviously didn't happen here, but we had a good conversation or two going.
We sat in Future Shop (Canadian equivalent of Best Buy) for an hour and watched 'Anger Management' on the home theater setup... it was horrible in store and the people don't know how to make it look and sound good worth crap, but the couch we were sitting on was simply orgasmic. I mean, the movie was pretty decent, but I've seen it too many times to really get a good laugh out of it... You know what I mean. Adam Sandler is the bees knees and Jack Nicholson is just pure awesome sauce. I kind of wish they would be in another movie together; but really, I just want another Billy Madison or Waterboy out of Sandler before age sets in....
I also showed them around the town, since they're only a transient visitor. We were going to go see 'Lady In The Water', but our bus systems cut off after six o'clock so they had to take it back to the place she was staying at or face a four-hour walk... We said goodbye and I started to walk past the mall and ran into another friend on sheer coincidence. We picked up two more people, and had an awesome night of swimming and pizza. I've had way too many cans of 'full throttle', but it was worth it all.
Since Vox has more of a personal feel to it, I'll start opening up the floodgates and throw some more personal posts in here every once in a while, but I'll stick to things that let you get to know me a little better (you'll know when to skip these posts from the 'personal' tag :P )
This is a song I listen to every morning while getting up and dressed as of late.
