Seasons Greetings to All!

Well people! It's almost Christmas and this will likely be my last post for a little while as I will be busy for the next while.

First I would like to say that I still haven't had time to work on the book again yet. However when all the hustle and bustle calms down, I promise I will get right back at it. I think that in the new year I will have some more time to really devote to it. I would like to have the first two chapters done by the end of January. I will let you guys know as soon as I get back to it.

Ok so as you all know Christmas is a time to share with family, friends and loved ones. I hope you all remember that as you're celebrating your holidays this year. I'm more aware of that now than i ever have been, and am very much looking forward to spending this time with everyone as usual and with a certain special someone who came into my life this year. :) This whole year has been the most amazing time of my life. I hope that 2007 is all that 2006 was and more! I have a real good feeling about things to come for me those around me in the coming year.

Well hope to see you all on the 27th at my party. Happy holidays all! Talk to you all soon!

Ok I know you're all probably getting fed up reading this thing almost every day now. Oh well... I guess this means my monthly record of posts keeps growing as I post more and more this month.

I did get some more work done on the book. It is now nearing page three. I know I know... Thats nothing but i don't get much time these days at all. And the only time i have any inspiration is when i should be sleeping, so I don't know if progress on it will ever go fast. So far I have the first seven or so chapters plotted out. I also have alot of ideas for the midle of the book. And of course I do know what is going to happen in the conclusion to the story. And no you will have to wait to read it to find out all the details aside from what I post here on it. I think it will be an exciting story filled a fair amount of action, good character developement, and maybe even a couple of interesting twists but nothing like those crappy suspense thriller movies that have been popular over recent years, like that m. night shamalan CRAP. I hope that I can make the characters and the setting appealing enough to hook the reader. Well i will be asking people for opinions once the first chapter is writen. I look forward to that.

Frustration abounds these days as things seem to build one anoying thing after another. Just don't know how to handle it all these days. It seems that ever since early this spring i got a fresh start on life. Literaly. It's like I've been learning to live life all over again one agonizing lesson after another. I just wish I could have one moment where there was not something detracting from the hapiness of the moment. I guess life is all about learning to deal with all the minor anoyances, and learning to forget the major ones. It's kinda like my life really started at age 30 not age 0 months. I don't know if anyone can relate with this but I'm frustrated with things because a lot of people mostly family expect me to go on being the person i was up till last winter, and I wish to never be that person again. I am so much more now than what I was. At least I think so. I don't want to go back to being that person again. I just don't want to... I REFUSE to. I'm not saying I've totally changed into something that people won't recognize or not care about anymore. I like to think the important parts of me haven't changed, but i would also like to think that the things that have changed are important too. I really do think I'm more successfull at life than i used be. And as i learn more about life every day I hope to prove it soon.

My life is not wory free of course, and is far from stress free. I just want a fair crack at a decent career and a comfortable life. Too many things are in the way of that right now. So untill i learn to deal with those things, I'm stuck here beating my head against the wall. Maybe the problem is I'm a new person trying to live in an old life. Maybe what i need is a new direction in life. I know i have the start of that now but it is only the tip of the ice berg. What i really need is a radical change in direction in my life. Don't get me wrong I will never give up what is important to me. Truely important that is. You all know what I mean.

Well i've wandered down the garden trail a little bit this time but i just needed to vent a bit. So there you go. Happy holidays to all and talk to you all soon.

Ok people. Here again... I know i've been posting here alot lately but what can i say, I'm hooked.

Ok well tonite I headed over to Tracy's place to watch the survivor finale. Got there long before that was about to come on. So Kev calls there for me and says him and the b'ys are going downtown and asks me to come along. So I'm reluctant cause I wanted to spend the night at tracy's watching survivor and stuf. So she says that i don't need to stay, so i think about for a bit and decide to meet the b'ys downtown. So we go to Dooley's for pool and went over to Christian's afterwards to chat. It was a blast and I enjoyed myself. Tracy didn't mind since she was busy decorating at the time. Thats alright tho cause I'm gonna do something special with her soon one of these days soon. She just doesn't know it yet. I think it's best that way.

Well once I'm done posting here I'm gonna probably do some work on the book. I'm looking forward to getting the first chapter done and seeing what it looks like at that point. I might even look for feedback after the first chapter is done rather than waiting for the first seven or eight chapters to be done. That way i will be able to tell early on if I'm doing anything wrong with it.

Well can't wait for the holidays to comence. I'm hoping it will all go well and that it will be a christmas to remember. Would like to do something special with Tracy earlier on christmas eve. Would like it to be a surprise. Good thing she doesn't know the address to this site... hehehe Ok so any of you who are coming to the party on the 27th let me know. Most have confirmed already so i'm just waiting for Jony Zero and mark realy. Russ don't know what he's doing that night. Nothing strange there.

Christmas eve is going to be the best tho! :) :) :)

Well see you all over the holidays and keep checking here as the days progress as I'm posting here all the time now.

Thats life in hell's motel...

Well here i am again people. Surprise, surprise.

Well tonite me and Tracy babysat Abby. Steve and Sarah had a dinner to go to so we looked after the little darling :) Never really got to play with Abby that much before, but i really had a good time. Made me forget about my own problems. Speaking of which I had an acident today in the car. Hit a van. Took the front bumper right off of the car. Dented the guys rear door panel. He was cool about it and agreed to let it go and keep it off of insurance. He said he didn't care about the damage on his van as long as i was cool with it all. Well Larry was ok with it. He said it wouldn't be hard to fix and to not worry about it. SO all is cool. I'm happy as long as everyone else is. Mom and Larry were just glad that i was Ok so it's all ok with me.

Had a nice chat with Steve tonite after they got back. Which is nice cause it's something we haven't been able to do in a while. Had a breif look at the new Zelda game for the game cube. It seems cool.

Oh yeah me and Tracy will be busy watching movies for a while since she got a loan of a ton of movies off of Steve. I'm cool with that tho. Looking forward to taking it easy for a while now.

Heading out to Gander with the bro on thursday. Should be a nice break from things.

Well. Here I am the third day in a row, updating my blog. Thats a new record for me. :)

Well the Kev-o-meister is back on the rock. Got in at the air port tonite before 7 pm. A bunch of us were there to greet him. Of course there was me and Tracy, Steve and Sarah, mark and Kev's dad. It was nice seeing him for the first time since the summer. Looking forward to good times over the hollidays. Can't wait to see your gig on the 20th Kev! Hopefully you'll play some of your new songs. :)

Well today was a busy day. Tracy finished her exams today. I had to go to walmart to get a refund on some junk for mom. Also took Tracy's mom with me since she wanted to get some shopping done. Me and Tracy headed back to my place where i had to get some chores done. Then from there we went out for supper and finally (as mentioned above) we went to the airport. Spent the rest of the evening at tracy's watching tv. So all in all it was good day.

Got paid this week so that means that I'll soon have my christmas shopping done. I think it will be a busy weekend. Tracy and myself will be babysitting over the weekend for Steve and Sarah. So that should be fun. "Ok Abby time for bed! We're gonna watch movies on the big screen lcd tv and home theatre sound system!" Hopefuly sunday will be a quiet day.

Well i guess there's not much else to say at this time. Everyone enjoy this time of year as it is the season for sharing with those around us and is meant to be a time of great joy. Talk to you all soon, and take care.

Ok I know I only posted yestday, but I feel like posting again. So BLAH!! :P

So last night I sat down and started writing my novel. Thats right after twelve long years and two failed attempts at making it into a paper and pencil rpg and a currently ongoing attempt to do so as well, as well as plans to do a computer rpg, the story is finaly ready to take shape. Using my old notes i used to plan out the story plot for the video game i am building an original manuscript. I hope that it will turn out half decent. I already have enough material to start writing the first seven to eight chapters. Chapters will likely vary in length from ten to fifteen pages. So far i have a little over half of the first page written. Once i have exhausted all of my current material i will let people read what is done at that point. Once I am a couple of chapters in I will start plotting out the rest of the book. I can't say what the story is at this point though i think Steve may have an idea if he can remember reading my game production notes. Well keep checking here to see the progress on the novel.

Well tomorow is the day. The day that kevin gets back for the hollidays. See you soon buddy. Tracy finishes exams tomorow so thing should be interesting for the next while. Busy busy.

Off to do some more shopping with mom today. She's hoping to get a bed mattress ordered today and have it delivered in the next few days. The one she already ordered was over two weeks in the coming so she canceled the order and is getting a refund and going somewhere else.

I'm hoping to some more writing done tonite on the book. Well thats it for me right now. So I will talking to all soon. Happy hollidays all.

I'll show you how it's done... Just watch old jet jockey in action!

Howdy people. Getting closer every day.

Well really looking forward to seeing Kevin again this week. Well Kev when you come in on Thursday evening my and Tracy were planning on meeting you as you come into the airport terminal.

Ok well the Christmas party dated for the 27th is definately a go! Most people are confirmed and I'm pretty sure everyone else will show up too. Going to be fun. But in the mean time we will see you all at Steve's for Christmas eve.

Well things are a little hectic this week for me as I spend the evenings at Tracy's and then it's home again during the day to do chores for mom. Well Thursday Tracy's done exams so it will staedy go then i'm sure till christmas.

Do or do not. There is no try...

Well here i am again. I'm hoping to get the rest of my Christmas shopping done this weekend. I've only got four names left on list of people to buy gifts for.

Well not much to say this time. Just thought I'd post anyway since i was bored. Looking forward to the Christmas hollidays. I'm still planning on having my christmas party on the 27th, so let me know if you can make it and i will post a final date for the party.

I was going to make some of gifts for this Christmas but it doesn't look like i will get enough time to do that this year. But i think after christmas i will try to draw and paint some posters that will eventualy be given away as birthday gifts throughout the year, unless of course they turn out realy good :P

Well nothing else to say really. so I will catch you all on the flip side.
