Well today was fun! Haha, we had no water at the house. Well... Technically, we had water, but I notice a huge leak in one of the pipes after I was ready to leave for work. Unfortunately, the leak was near the pressure tank, and there was no cutoff valve before the leak. So, I had to shut off the water at near the pump, which killed all the water supply to the house. =( Oh well! I got to get soaked and find new clothes. Funny thing is, I barely heard the leak in the other room, so if I would have left, the water would have leak into the house the whole day! Thank the Lord, that I found it before that.


Work was about the usual. A few laughs, 'that's what she said' comments, a lot of coding, some documentation writing, and overall a rather quick day. I only have one day left!! =) Yesh, I get off for Easter this Friday. I still enjoy my job, and I think it's beginning to grow on me. There is gonna be a few crazy upgrades down the road, so I better enjoy it now before it gets all hectic. Haha, bring it on.

WOW! The gym was insane today after work. I did my normal workout, but I had an insane moment. I was trying to do dumbbell presses, and the most ungodly smell came upon me. Now, thank the Lord again that I was pressing light dumbbells, but with one swift inhale, I about dropped both dumbbells. I looked and spotted this guy taking off weights on a bar near me. He was doing squats, and I'm guess he must have strained a tid bit too hard. It definitely was not body odor. I felt bad, but man, I had to wait till he left. Part of lifting is breath control, and with that smell lofting about, control was out of the picture. Hey, it was an adventure none the less.

After some deadlifts, presses, inclined press for my feet, and various other back, shoulder and legs, I left like a old man hobbling off to my car. Needless to say, it's stick shift, so I had a good time getting home. =D On my way home though, I got to talk to a good friend, Boots! I missed hearing from her. She's still a trooper. Hurt her arm about a month ago and is still playing hardcore for her lacross team. I give her major props! We both agree that this is hammock weather, and I totally want to make my own! (Bay Hammocks of Nova Scotia) I so want to go up there!

Well, it's about time to wrap up. I'm gonna try to write more. Tonight ends with me wrapped up in some blankets, and a thousand pillows all around. =D!!

Wow.. so many exciting things.. so little time.. Welp, this weekend was a busy one for sure. I kicked started it off with a live band at downtown York's Swing Dance. It was a great night! I enjoyed the music, as always, but also got to meet new people and catch up with old friends. I think for the first ten minutes of the dance, I just watched people dance. One of my favorite dancers is Jason... Haha, he moves so smoothly, yet he always adds a bit of humor in his dance. Lolz..


Saturday was a very new and thrilling moment. Around noon, I left with my dad and uncle to go on my first Pheasant hunt.. Totally AWESOME! We ended up getting around 10 birds, but I think the most fun was watching the dog track down where the birds were at. As soon as he'd detect their scent, he'd go on point and wait for us to flush the bird out. Ha, there were so many times that my foot could have stepped right on top of the bird, and I still could see it. Plus, the dog was so fast! I believe I almost tripped over him three times. Tucker (Tucky) definitely loved to hunt for birds. Overall, it was a really fun time, and I got to have a little more time with my dad. I don't get that too much now-a-days..

So, after the pheasant hunt, I was stuck on duty for chores. Having the Spring Cleaning bug two weeks ago, I nearly destroyed my entire living space. =D Haha.. well, the problem is, I was on a role and then the stupid day had to end. I guess I forgot to mention, I am killer when I'm working on a project. I give it %100 and then some. BUT! I am the worst procrastinator in the world.. Yeah.. I have the hardest time starting things. Granted, once I get going, I do a good job.

Anywho back to my story.. My aunt and uncle (the one I went hunting with) were coming over Sunday for an early Easter get-together.. Needless to say, I, having a mom who loves a clean house, was giving a list of chores and things to pick up around the house. No worries, I'm used to it, and she's not overbearing. All I had to do was clean my room up, clean the bathroom and vacuum.. No biggy.. except my room look like the aftermath of Hiroshima.. Well.. I decided that tomorrow would be a better day, so I pa-diddled the rest of the night away..

Ahh.. beautiful Sunday... It's 1pm, I'm getting out of bed... and.. !!! Oh crap.. First of all I looked like crap, so I covered my bedhead with my Irish pub hat, and set straight to work cleaning the basement (where I live). With a few good hiding places, some duct tape, and a lot of vacuuming.. I got my room up to tip top shape in three hours.. whew! Just don't look under my bed.. ;)..

Well Sunday was a blast anyway.. I had grilled shish kabobs mixed with potatoes and cake afterwords!! Yumz.. It was a very happy moment.. If you can't tell already.. food is like the main highway to my heart.. I just love it! =D

Hold Me As I Dream

Sleep I'll never escape
Yet tonight I'm so afraid
To look into my mind
Past memories forever played

Dreams take my breath
As I wake in cold sweats
Dreams make me angry
Bring back long regrets

My eyes slowly closing
My strength all but gone
Sleep won't stop coming
Creeps closer every yawn

Tears held back knowing
Hardships to come again
Inevitably sleep will come
The torment to begin

Someone hold me please
Alone here I lay
Darkness steals the light
Dreams float my way

Sins cover my soul
Shameful as can be
Past to present darkening
Even God can't look at me

Sleep now taken hold
But I can't scream
Someone hold my hand
Hold me as I dream
