Well people I had the stomach flu over the weekend. Got sick late Saturday night. It was not good at all. Spent the last day recovering. Tracy looked after me so it's all good now.
Havn't really seen much of anyone lately. Saw Jon, Kate and thier little one saturday at the mall. The baby is adorable :)
Wednsday now I guess me and Tracy will exchange valentines day cards. Friday we're going out for dinner and all that. Should be fun. Looking forward to it.
Hmmm... Been wondering about something lately... May have some big news soon. Don't want to say till I know for sure though.
Not much to say this time... Talk to you all soon.

Someone got themselves a letter in the mail the other day...
Well here I am on a stormy Friday evening writing a blog entry with my new keyboard. I was looking forward to getting out of the house tonight but with the way the weather is already thats not 100% certain. Waiting to hear from Tracy too... Called a while ago but she still wasn't back yet. Oh well...
Well it's been a slow week i guess... Got a little work done on the book again. Even though I only got 2 and a half pages in the word processor, it actualy translates into 7 novel sized pages. So my guess is it will be a somewhat lengthy book. At least in novel terms. As it is i got enough ideas right now to fill upto the first 70 pages, standard size. my guess is that will be about 200 novel pages. Wow... Going to keep at it so when the first couple of chpters or so are done i will let people look at it. that won't be for a long time yet though.
Ok well nothing else to say... Guess i should wiat long enough till enough stuf happens to actually post about before I post again. Later people.

You were never one for waiting...
Well here we are nearing the end of the first month of the new year. I guess it's not really a new year anymore is it?
Well people i guess i don't have to remind any of you that February 14 is Valentines day. For the first time in my life I can say I have plans for valentines day. Yay! Well this will be the third dinner me and Tracy have gone out to.
Well moving on I have some more notes done for my book. Hoping to get some more work done that tonite. Thinking of doing a few small edits to what i have so far inculding deletions and rearangements. Still have to settle on some of the major details of the story. After all i want it all to make sense.
Well tomorow it looks like i will be sending in my registration forms for PCDI (correspondence school). I'm looking forward to doing the electronics specialist course with them. It seems to be more hands on then courses offered by competetors and it's cheaper. Really looking forward to getting another piece of paper to hang on my bedroom wall. And maybe it will help me find a job.
Speaking of which i will be starting my job search this week. Hoping to get a job in computer sales which will lead to a technician job.
Well not much to report this time sadly. Chat with you all soon.

When we unite we're falling higher...
Well howdy there people. The last week has been a bit of a challenging time for me. A few days ago i came to the decision that i was finally going to move out on my own. But when i found out that social assistance and healt care couldn't help me out with my living expense, that kinda burst that balloon. But having the last couple of days to think about it i am really happy the way things are going now. It's just that it's been a little confusing lately and i went off half cocked the other day, not really taking everything into account. But I'm feeling much better now and more confident of where I'm going to in life. The past year has been a real learning experience and I can see that looking back over my blog entries since last march. I've really come so far in such a little amount of time and to be honest it I still have so far to go.
Well I've been thinking lately, and I've decided that i need to expand my horizons and going back to college right now is imposible because of finances and red tape. So i've been looking into correspondence schools. I was origianly think of doing the elctronics course i started before going to Lawrence College, but have decided that ICS will not meet my needs. So i did some browsing and found a place called PCDI, and low and behold they also have an electronics course. The content and ciriculum go light years beyond that of the ICS program and am pretty sure i will be enrolling in the program when the forms get mailed to me. It is very afordable. And I read over the site very carefully and they provided so much more information about thier courses and staff that I am confident this will help me in my career. When you read about thier instructors being industry leaders in thier field and can see student testimonials where other correspondence schools do not do this it makes the choice clear to me. This is the school i want to teach me. And as i keep saying I am still going for my A+ certification as well. All of this combined with my current knowledge, skill, and education should help me on my way. I'm hoping to be a PC tech of somekind by the end of the year. I know it's going to be difficult at times but I know i can get there. I just have to keep clear sight of my goals and keep at it. I know i can do it. If there's anything i've learned in the last six months it's that i can achieve anything i set my mind to. For now i need to set atainable goals to which i know i can work towards, always keeping the bigger goals in mind, and always keep moving forward. This aplies to everything in my life not just my career. As long as i can see that i am always making progress of somekind I will be happy.
Well as for the book. I'm going to do some work on it when i finish this entry. Steve gave me some good ideas tonite, which i will keep in mind. Rather than continuing the actual writing of the story, I am going to do some character sumaries to help me with story developement. Also i will make notes of some of the more recent ideas i've had for the story. I will keep you guys informed of my progress.
Well thats what things have been like lately. Talk to all soon.
Reading: book of revalation
Playing: populous
Listening: helloween - better than raw
Watching: the omen boxed set
Eating: ham and pancakes, pizza pockets
Writing: beyond braxis the novel
Soon studying: A+, electronics specialist with PCDI
Wishing: that i could get back to some of my old hobbies

Another year, another adventure
Well here we are. Welcome all to 2007. Hopefully this year will be filled with many happy moments for all. I hope that this year many of my long term goals will be met and that by the end of the year I will have the direction in my life that i have so long craved, and of course i wish the same for all of you.
Well people i guess you all know it by now but Jon D is now a daddy. Congrats to you man and kate. You guys suprised us all as much as i'm sure you suprised yourselves. It's wonderful news and I'm sure you two will do great as parents. Congrats again.
Ok well it was a great holiday season this year. It was nice to be sharing the holidays with someone for the first time. Kev, i realy enjoyed seeing you and Catherine for the hollidays. It was nice getting together with everyone as well.
Well things are going prety good for me right now. I have a lot of plans for the near future. I'm thinking of enrolling with ICS and doing an electronics correspondence course. I am still going to be working towards getting my A+ certification. I just need to sort out all the details for that stuf. Also i would like to get back into some old hobbies of mine as well as one or two new ones. Hell, I might even pick up work on the old computer game again. I realy need to set some priorities as i work towards my short term goals. As for any long term goals go i need time to figure out how current plans are going to work out. Then I'll see about things from there.
Well folks thats it for now. Talk to you all soon.

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!

A gagle of grenades with all the pins pulled out...
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.
