Tales of this and that

Well well well...
Nearly July and I think that I am nearly caught up for once. I seem to have bills ready to go, and as long as all goes well, should have things well in hand but the end of July. New roomies are calling for the extra room finally. And work seems to be taking a turn for the better.

Which means of course that it will all be upset soon enough as a lady enters my life. It always seems to track that someone does that just as I get things organized and upsets my applecart with a single look or such.

Blogs I read and sites I go too

Just a group of fellow geeks and freaks, LARPS Edmonton

My ex "evil master's" blog

An ex coworkers' blog

A fellow geeks', who gives the bestest back rubs every, blog

A fellow freaks' blog, who writes good slash

A random blog from edmonton that I found and have been addicted to reading of late

Finally caught up, kinda

It looks like my exile will end soon. Atleast as far as work is concerned. We finally got some good hires and seem to be making progress normalizing the resturant. With that said, I expect it all to come crashing down shortly. I'm at my wits end with work, and have decided that if offered a different job I would take it. Even started to apply for some select jobs round town etc.

On the home front I am still screwed with the house. Never before was I ever late on bills but since Trevor screwed me over for rent I'm about $700 behind on them. Hopefully soon I will get another good roomie and get things back into line.

A. is still hanging out with me which I thought would stop after she started dating C. since he and I have been at odds for years. She told me about a month ago that she thought it would all end in 6 months, that he would get bored and leave. Lately it seems to be mixed singals from that end. One day he's in the dog house and the nest they happy as larks. Who knows what that girl wants and if she'll every get it.
Her comment to me the other day really hurt. She said that there is 4 or so men in her life;

C.
S.
J.
and me

and then said that we all fill different roles;

lover
friend
shopping buddy
and puppy dog

What hurt was that she then told me that J. is the puppy dog (but he shares the doghouse with C.) and I am her shopping buddy. After two years of knowing each other and dating for 1/2 of that, I was really hoping to be more than a shopping buddy. She said it as a joke I'm sure but it hurt none the less.

An other one bites the dust

Good God we can't keep staff. Yet another 2 have left since I updated, then we hired 4 and one of those have also quit!!!

Good luck getting my days off next week.

ARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH !!!!!!

Half way thru

Half way thru my month of exile...

and I think I'm going stir crazy and / or dying.

For those that saw me at my last public outing (Seeds / Paragons) I still have that hacking cough. I can't seem to shake it at all. And now it's starting to keep me up nights and such. Side effect I guess of not really having had a day off since then. As expected work has kept me quite busy. Over the last 8 weeks I have working a minimum of 60 hours per week with a 6 or 7 day work schedule. And to think my Area Couch is starting to question is I have health problems? No, I just have sleep problems, as in not enough.

So other than work I have ventured outside my cozy lil home but once since then. And that was to see a dissapointing SW : Esp 3. Like Winter said "great story, bad story telling". Could anyone really have turned over that quick? What was it like a 45 second seqway in the film. Come on Lucas, spare us maybe 10 mins at least.

But I should try to rest again. I need to be up early enough for work that I can get some downtime over to Tallboy and to Reds.

If anyone is talking to my garden bitches, it's been rained out for about a month I think :( And if anyone wants to drop me a line, I'll never complain. The boards have been all to quiet this month for both Youseff and Tomas.

A little aside

Well, it's time to find another entry for this blog and , well, all I have is what I know. An old friend has encouraged me to write, or atleast try to write, again so here it is. Unedited, uncomporisming, my poetry for all to see.

Midnight Darkness

What do you do in the the dark of the night,
when all light escapes your reach,
when shadows walk open in the world
and fear grips your inner heart.

What do you do in the dark of the night,
when your suddenly alone and don't want to be,
and no one seems to come to your cries,
and shadows stalk your every step.

What do you do in the dark of the night,
when little remains of the world outside,
and you cannot recall the memory of sun,
what do you do in that dark night.

How do you carry froward when hope is gone,
what can you tell yourself when your alone,
who can you seek to chase away the fear and terror,
when can you escape this nightmare world.

I know what I do in the darkest night,
when fear and terror in my heart take flight.
I grip the pillows every more tight,
and hope against hope for mornings light.

For what it's worth there it is. If you hate or like it is up to you. Maybe if I don't die of embarssment I'll put more new poems up, or some from my book.

Sleep tight all.
