Series Starts tonight

Well I should do a weekly-wrap up I suppose. Lets see Sunday and Monday I just tried to stay warm and not freeze or die on my way to work. Tues on my day off I did nothing. Weds I worked as well. Thursday when I came to work I realized I had gotten approved for my new shift, instead of working from 3-2 now I will be working 9-530 which I think is alot better. Just waiting to finish up the night here and go home for the weekend
  I will be playing a 50 match 2$ heads up poker series with a guy on pokerstars. We are going to start tonight. I would definately say I am an underdog in this but hope to gain some experience in heads up play by the end.
  So I am off this weekend Tammy and Taylor will be over tomorrow and I am sure we will prob go out since I havent seen her in a week. Its hard with us working diff shifts but we make the best of it.
  Other then that not alot to write about right now so I think I will end as usual with peace.

A 10 day Update

I was suprised to see it had been 10 days since I blogged. Basically there hasnt been anything to blog about.
  I was at my bros Weds, Thurs and came back Friday morning. It was my nephews 2nd birthday. Boy is getting big I tell ya. We ate lots played some XBOX with my brother played some Scattergories which I won. Also my sister in law had a friend up to so was nice to meet her. Then yesterday I came back  to Freddy on the bus and Tammy picked me up at the bus station. We then went to lunch with her friend Vicki and Tammy's daughter Taylor. After that we picked up Tammies mom and went to their place. We ended up there all night due to the weather being so bad. I went home this morning and went to sleep. \
  This must be the season for babies as well. My good friends Eric and Lisa had a beautiful baby girl this week and 3 other people I know are expecting.
  Other then that not alot to blog about I did apply for a new shift at work which would be nice to get. I also had my performance review done and I did well with that and was happy
Well its back to calls for me I guess. Peace

Yo Yo Blogging fans I am back after a week of not blogging,

    Not sure what might pop out of my head onto this paper today lol. So on the weekend a 22 year old decides to try and assassinate his senator. While doing this he killed 6 people while she is alive. What kind of world do we live in where people are so filled with rage and hatred that they feel the need to kill innocent people. This further proves that people in this world are hurting and that everyone needs to open their eyes and try and help the hurting people around them.
  I also read in the OBITS today of a 2o year old girl who took her own life. How sad that a young lady would feel so alone and hopeless that she had no other option then to kill herself. Please people realize that there are people who care about you and will listen and believe in you. Reach out to your friends and loved ones. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. The sun always shine in the morning.
  This is a depressing post I guess but its what and how I feel right now.
  On the other hand Tammy is coming over Saturday and I am going to meet her child and her family (yikes)
I am sure it will be fine as things are progressing well in that area. She is a great gal and I enjoy spending time with her and talking to her.
 Well thats all i feel like writing for now so Peace

  4. Be in a good relationship with a lady
  5. Improve my personal financial situation.
  6 Get back involved with activities at Church
  7. Make a profit playing cards by the end of the year even if only 1$

Well this is my last work shift for the year 2010. This year I have worked on two opposite ends of the country in two vastly different Climates. So i figured this blog would be a quick edition of the year 2010 in my life
   The year began with me in Fort McPherson NWT. I was there working for Co-op. New years Eve I think i just stayed home as far as I can remember anyways. Then in the middle of January I came home for 2 weeks which was greatly enjoyed and needed. Feb Mar Apr May I was working back in McPherson for Co-op. this had good days and bad days depending on what kind of mood the boss was in. There were days he was very hard to deal with and other days he was great. One of my favorite times was when the olympics were going on and we had the TV set up at the store so people could watch as they shopped and we could watch when we had a minute. I can remember watching the gold medal hockey game in the store after we had just closed and the 4 employees and myself just jumped for joy when Sidney scored the goal to win.
  Spring came and I met Eddie and spent lots of time at his place unwinding with a cold beverage, eating and playing bingo there as well. This was my place to go along with Glen and Connies to get away from work for few hours.
  In July I came home and started working back in here in Aug and have been ever since. I played ball for the summer and now play poker once every 6 weeks or so with the boys. I am seeing a great gal now and hopefully that continues.
  All in all it was a good year i guess and hopefully it continues. To you and yours May 2011 bring nothing but joy and happiness

Peace

Christmas is done for another year

Well Another year of Christmas has come and gone. This year was a mixed week as Tuesday we buried my good friend who passed away. After that I came to work to find out they had given me the whole day off for Bereavement when I didnt ask. This was very much appreciated as I needed it.
  Weds I just finished up some last minute preparations and Thursday I was off to Saint John to spend Christmas with my Grandparents which was nice. I realize each year how blessed I am at my age to have 3 of my 4 grandparents still alive. This is something I never take for granted. However like people everywhere I do think of lost loved ones. My grandfather passed away when I was 10 years old and the funeral was Dec24/1991. I miss him greatly and think of him often at this time of year.
 So we got to Saint John around 130 and spent Thursday with my grandparents which was a nice relaxing day. We had Supper then relaxed in the evening. My grampy and I played crib and he beat me 2 out of 3 games. I dont win to often but he likes to play and I enjoy it as well. We then went to bed for the evening around midnight.
    The next day my brother Jeremy and his Wife Emily got there around 1130  or so and brought with them Eggs, Bacon, ham and sausage and bread for toast and cooked up a wonderful brunch. We had a great time together eating and laughing. We then opened the gifts they had brought and the ones we got for them. After the brunch I decided I needed a nap. Once I woke up it was time to go to church for the christmas eve service. This was a good one hour service. We then came home and watched the original version of Miracle on 34th Street. I greatly like this movie. After that my moms friend Keith came over and spent the night there
    Christmas morning We got up around 930 and opened our gifts. I got 2 nice jackets a couple of books, a few nice sets of pants and shirts. And I got a badly needed wallet. After that we had a good breakfast again. Keith then had to leave but later that day we had a wonderful Turkey dinner that my mom and grandmother made although I must take credit as I cooked the squash and it was terrific. After dinner and relaxing I again lost to Grampy in crib lol this time 2 straight.
  After that it was talkin on the phone time and then sleep. This morning I got the 930 bus from Saint John and came here to work. It hasnt been to busy tonight which is nice. I think I am going to watch a movie after work which will be nice. I do work again tomorrow then am off for a day then work two then 3 off.  So thats my Christmas recap. I hope everyone had a joyous time with the friends and family and everyone has a happy new year.

Peace

What Cancer Can not Do

Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple love.
It cannot shatter hope.
It cannot corrode faith.
It cannot eat away peace.
It cannot destroy confidence.
It cannot kill friendship.
It cannot shut out memories.
It cannot silence courage.
It cannot reduce eternal life.
It cannot quench the Spirit.
