Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Friends and Family!
Effie I hope you had yourself a fantastic day! --> shout out to Effie!
I've had myself a great day. I woke up and wake n baked then made a giant feast. (to which only 3 people showed up) (damn flakey Jasper people) It was still great though. Drank hot chocolate and baileys for most of the afternoon before switching off to gin and lime aide. Mmm. Played some Nintendo64, thanks sister!, drank some gin, and smoked some bowl. I'm feelin' pretty amazing at this moment.
Over at Matt and Nicoles. Turkey and all the fixins are cooking, people are gathered. Will probably make my way over to Stone Mountain later. Promised I would. Really the only thing stopping me is myself. I may drink too much and not make it. I think I'll manage though. Let ya know how it goes. I'd upload some photos but I'm not on my computer.

moved onto Kokanee.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Holy Shit! This is looong overdue.

Hi Fans! I realize I may no longer the have the small amount I have if I keep this shitty updating thing up. So here goes a big one. You'll see pictures from Brenda's visit home, this past Sin Sunday, me skiing in the Canadian Rockies(!) and a few others. Hold on to your seats! You might be in for a wild ride! This is just a picture I like.

This pot has a story. Here it is;
I had a french couchsurfer staying with me. AK, is what I called him. I couldn't say his name, Aourell. "You say your 'R's wrong!" is what he yelled at me one time that I tried. Anyways, the pot. So one day AK tells me he's going to go for a walk to get a treasure. (tray-sewa, that's how it sounded when he said it.) Alrighty, whatever. He comes back like an hour and a half later with a safe hanging off his backpack. It's heavy. He found it in the river. He had to chip away at the ice for like 30 minutes to get it out! So he brings it back here, we defrost it, and one day I come home from work and theres a birth certificate on the arm of my couch. I pick it up and take a look and it and wonder where the hell AK got it, I know this kid! Not well, but I know him and he just might want this thing back. So I get his number from Matty and give him a holla. He's pretty stoked to hear I have this thing. Comes by a bit later, smokes a J with me. I'm happy. We finish'er off, he says he's going to leave and says, "You can keep that." and points to the bag. Fucken' eh! I was out! Perfect!

So there's that story.

Me! As I look every morning for my bike ride to work. It's barely morning. The earliest I ever work is 11am. It's pretty slack. I like it.

Last Sunday! This is AK with Mattys "Russian Hat" on. This was a fun, silly night.

Matty as Crocodile Dundee. Me with a golden pocket watch. And Marcela with the Russian hat. I was pretty ham hammed at this point. Jager. I love it.

And again. I meant to only upload the first one. But then this one came too.
Rockstar! Russian Rockstar!

This is the joint that got me too high to write a blog post. The paper was coated with resin. Is that how it's spelt? I'd usually check dictionary.com in a case like this. But don't know that this would be a word they'd have. Brendas visit! She got here on Sunday morning, like 7 am, and left Monday afternoon, 1pm or so. It was a quick visit but we had a silly Sunday evening. It was so great to see her. I wish Graham could have come with her.
Ho'boy! I was clearly done by this point. But not actually, that's a pornstar cocktail in my hand. Mmm Mmm. My tongue was blue by the time I got home.

And aparently that's all I've got. I tried to upload a video of my skiing. But the internet connection is shit right now. Not a big deal. I'll try again some other time. Maybe. No promises. My camera was broken for a little while there. A couchsurfer fixed it. Thanks Martin!

I don't have photos from the fire. But I read in the newspaper that 7 apartments were damaged. What happened is some buddy was deep frying some dinner and the oil caught fire and then somehow jumped it's way into the vent and since this is Cavell the vent probably hasn't been cleaned since the place opened a bazillion years ago so it caught on fire too and then it migrated into the walls and up the floors.

When I texted my Sister that my apartment building was on fire her response was, "Effie says take pics she want to see it on the blog!" A minute later she sends, "She also says STOP......DROP....ROLL" Thanks for the advice Effie!

Well, I'm stoned and I'm going to watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire now. Peace.

Fire Fire!

I'm not at home. I've voluntarily evacuated. The other corner of my apartment building is on fire. Was going to update tonight (I'm lying) but now I can't. No need to panic. They seem to have it under control. I didn't even get off my couch when the alarm went off. It's Cavell. The alarm goes off randomly fairly often.
Let ya know how it goes.

I was gonna write my blog, but then I got high....

Sorry

Hi. I was sick for just over a week and pretty much just vegetated on my couch. I do realize that it's been for than over a week since I last updated but that's just me. While I was sick I started a post one day. Then I got tired or bored or something and just saved it. Went back and read it. Shit. I'm a ramblin' man. I talk about texts from last night and lame shit like that. Wait, tfln isn't lame. It's hilarious. I suggest everyone checks it out. www.textsfromlastnight.com

Anywho. Just here to say that I plan on actually updating with photos on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.

Brenda has moved away since I last updated. :( I miss her. She came back last weekend for a night and gathered some of her things and her and I had a great night out. So I'll post the pictures from that.

AND! I'm going skiing in the fucking Canadian Rockies(!) on Monday! I am so incredibly excited! I made the plan last Tuesday so I've had a while to be looking forward to it. Can't wait! Pictures will be taken and posted for that too.

Speak Soon xx

Oh! What a Night!

So, as I said in the last post (and yes, I realize this one is late) we had a rocker of a Halloween. I wore my costume all day long. I was the only one at work dressed up. Tim aka Slime Ball. I take full credit for this costume. Just sayin. He unfortunatly had to work all night long. Cab driver. 6pm to 6am.

Cavewoman, Crazy Cat Lady, and Raggedy (ragitty?) Anne getting ready to go out. By getting ready I of course mean pre-drinking.
And another. We're a little bit further along in this one. Red ruby vodka with ginger ale was the drink choice.

Showing her true colours. Showing my true colours? No! My roots!
Alix and I on the cab ride there. Alix wasn't really prepared so she kind of just had parts of everyones costume. She worked it.

We always cram wayy too many people into the cabs.At the legion. They kept throwing glow sticks at us. I actually ended up with bruises on my index and ring fingers because of how I was holding them all night. I had such an obsession with those damn teeth. I tried my hardest to be wearing them in every picture taken of me. I didn't succeed. Totally loved this couple costume!Just plain ol' love this couple. This is a really good shot of my fake eyebrows. I loved them. Had tonnes of glue in my real eyebrows the next morning and that glue was not the easiest thing to get out. Probably because I used crazy glue. It was all I had that would stick. And I used a minimal amount. Definatly the end of the night. I'm drinking water and my eyebrows have fallen off.

So we went from Raquels to the Legion to the B. Jess and I kinda of wish we'd stayed at the legion. It was good. They had DJs doing their thang. The B played the same tired ass songs it always does. Still a fantastic night. I was home by 3 which is a fairly early night as well. Loved it.

As Usual....

As usual, I've gotten off track again and haven't updated in quite some time. I had a rocker of a Halloween, so much so that none of us even went out the Sunday night after. I'll post photos on Monday or Tuesday. I have those 2 days off.

Pumpkins!

We carved a couple of pumpkins tonight. I'd say it went fairly well. The first cut is the deepest....

Jess had never carved a pumpkin before tonight. They don't celebrate Halloween in Aus Land.

It was weird.

Lets all eat the guts!

Meow! My finished product. I've got to say that I'm pretty dang proud of it.

Brenda carved a clown. Jess helped her. I didn't want anyone helping me with the cat. I was feeling greedy and wanted to do it all myself.

Happy Halloween! I cannot wait for tomorrow. I'll be dressed up all day long at work and well into the evening. Heck! I'll probably still be in my costume at 7am on Sunday morning.
Be sure to party safe!

Family!

As sad as it was to say goodbye to Baba it was really nice to see my whole family together again. Just like when I was younger.

The whole family. Grandpa, his 4 children (my mom, and uncles) and 14 grandchildren and step grandchildren. Woah.

The oldest cousins. Rebecca, Katrina, Sister, Jessie and myself.

The oldest cousins and my Momma!
For Baba.

My new tattoo. I'll get it filled in the next time I go home.

In Loving Memory

This post is for my Baba. She sadly passed away on Tuesday, October 20th. She was a beautiful person who would help anyone if she could. She will be missed by all of us. Her little buddy Maxi. (also lovingly known as "Red Beard")

Baba, Grampy and the cats.

Had a farm.

I've been in Comox since last Tuesday, the 6th of October. It's been a good visit. Some sad parts but there's no need to dwell on them. Last Saturday Momma took me over to Mark and Vals place. I ate a brownie (one of the pot variety) and then played with farm animals. Getting my hair outt've my face before I deal with the pig. I look like I'm marching. "look out, Pig! I'm comin' in!" On a fucking mission. I was making a pig face and looking the pig in the face. Oink!Sister and the two piggies. I'm fairly certain the one on the ground is SkidMark. If you rub Skids tummy he/she/it will almost instantly flop over. Doesn't even give a shit what it's going to be landing. FLOP! The one with the dirty ass I believe is Ricki Lake. She/he/it doesn't do anything quite as cool as SkidMark. She/he/it kind of just runs up to you and leans agaist your legs. It was fairly annoying. I have healing hands. Didn't you know? WARNING: Roosters will attack if you sport a tie dyed shirt in their presence. They do NOT like to be the 2nd most colourful in a crowd.

Yeah, the rooster was not a fan of my tie dye. He chased me a couple of times. Not okay. An angry rooster just given 'er in your exact direction is a frightening situation to be in. (PS this is not the actual rooster that came at me. This is The Ron's rooster)Echo! She's old and limps. But man can she HOWL. Pretty sure she ate that apple. Bellies and Sister. Bells looks um-impressed. (snort)
Horse shoes! It was Val and I against Momma and Sister. Val and I won. We only went to 5 points. I got 2 of our 5 though. :)It was probably this cheer or dance or whatever I'm doing in this photo that made Val and I win. It could have also been that we just plain old rocked. Hullo! Family! Myself, my lovely Momma, and beautiful Sister. Love you girls!

Friday night was Donnie and Brittany's engagement party. I proceeded to get smashed and had to put myself to bed much too early (in my opinion) and therefore there's a lack of pictures.
Britt looks so happy as she gazes up at her slightly mentally challenged fiance. Har har har. Just kidding Donnie. We all know you're not actually slow. I'm probably all angry that I finished the Jager. Brittany gave it to me. I kind of blame my outrageously smashed state on it. It could have also been all the pot I was smoking. Ya know, the combination of the two. Moooustache! Pretty sure I went to bed very soon after this one was taken. And only remembered that I'd had a moustache on my finger after I went through my pictures the next morning. I went for breaky with Raia and her Mom on Monday. At Becky's, of course. Totally love that little restaurant. We went to the Shamrock Pumpkin Patch afterwards. They had all these spooky halloween decorations up. I liked it. I got to hold a chicken. I stepped on one later. It was brown. I was totally sober too. Got a free sucker inside the barn, thats what's in my mouth.

I'm looking forward to going home to Jasper but I'm going to miss this home too. I wish I could combine Comox and Jasper and make one superior home.

PS. I did infact wear the EXACT same clothes on both Friday and Saturday. I even slept, wait no, passed out in them on Friday night. Gorgeous, I know.
