Ski, Bowl, Sleep. Relax
I realy enjoyed my recent geography assigment which felt more like colouring a simcity2000 map.
I may infact pursue human geography in the future, seems like it might be cool, that said, i need to own some simcity4 because im way behind in the times in terms of simcity skills. Perhaps john could teach me? Indeed.
Went skiing with (mostly) a 'high' commerce following; bromwyn (my housemate) on the social exec prepared a trip of 48 of us on a big yellow school bus to go to a 2 hr away ski place (kinda like lakeridge size) perhaps smaller, for a solid day of skiing, or in my case hardcore, ass mashing, head bashing, face grazing, powder (in the eye) blasting good time. Indeed i choose the snowboard as my weapon of axion choice because i knew it was gonna be a smaller mountain and i get bored on ski's if there aint like tons of routes to take. So i did all the little jumps on the blue routes, stuck to myself for most of the day, and met up with ppl randomly on the chair lifts, it was a relaxing and fun time for me. Aside from the one Complete bail onto my head which (2 days later now) i still ache in the neck from. And aside from the cat scratch slide all the way down a vertical drop (or close to one), i really did do quite well, though without Mike DAWG, it wasn't the same intensity of 'No Fear' as was when we Attacked "Le MASSIF" last year. I miss that trip even if it was a 300$ bonage cash drop. Oh and the 2 hour ride there was a 4 hour ride back due to retarded bus driver woman. She was like so cool till she went the wrong direction for over half an hour.. Well played bus driver woman.. well played.
Now the KEY to my skiing was truely having my new $120 MP3 player, 128mb, doubles as a disk drive & voice recorder.
I justified it as a "neccessity" and bought it last week. funny how i classify it as a necessity. But man .. i love having a little tiny tiny device to walk to school with and snowboard with. It's grrrrrrrreat! And it's putting me back into a better mood. I'd say this weekend of chillaxing has definetly brought me back to my old self. BOOURNS for the last week of bitterness.
Aight and Friday i cleaned up with a $25 win at weekly poker night, which truely has become weekly. I love it. MY dream has been aquired. However, attempts made to hook my laptop to the Tv have been thwarted by the poor quality of the movies when transferred to the TV .. damn slow ass wires... it works fine on my compy but BLAH... well il return this crapola for 60$ i guess...
Oh and Cameron bought a sweet Leather jacket the other day and i saw a "flask" that id really like to buy, and i got some tips and help from ppl. I have now justified it as a necessity and will attempt to find a good price on a "flask" for my (as cameron would say) drinking problem.. Rubbish i say, rubbish. (i like nvr do btw)
And i have stopped playing stupid Survival project for the most part.. id love to take wayne/raymond/kevin on in that game tho, for fun.
Status = lvl 3 boots, lvl 3 magic, lvl 3 sword. (earth, wind, water; respectively)
Me and cam play soccer 1v1 all the time, but thats the extent of my playing.
Also i've stopped playins subspace for the most part.
Most importantly i've managed to go to bed before 2 pm .. sometimes even 1pm for the last week. And im waking up a bit earlier too.. So im actually doing good for myself and it feels good.
And i too am on the job serach. I was bummed out at getting a rejection from Chubb insurance, but i will press on.
And after much internal debate i am goign to go against "friend" hearsay recommendations to not go after a summer managment painting job. I think it ust might be a great thign for me. Even if it means a lot of work time.
I can handle dat shit yo.
But my true callin still lies in group activity leading, i think i should have tried out camp counselling; i think i woulda loved it. Too mbad i nvr like camp from the delegates point of view when i was little.
Wow long blog and im not gonna lose it so ill post .. b4 blogger does dumb shit to me
