Change as I know It

Well I figured I would take some time to update since Its been two weeks.

  I have been watching with interest the proceedings in Egypt over the past few weeks. I have watched an persecuted peopled tired of the way they were being treated, people who cared about their country and the future for the kids, I watched them peacefully yet forcefully take their country back. The resignation of President Mubbarak and the lifting of emergency rule will finally allow the people to be free and democracy to flourish.
 This shows me that people in this country when unhappy can peacefully make their point and impact change in their city and country. People no longer need to be silent about the misplights of others. Its time for people to stand up to end poverty and in equality in our land. Everyone has the right to a safe place to live and a meal to eat. I am calling a generation of people to stand up and shout that we wont stand for the status quo anymore.
  Our society needs to be a leader in equality for all and be a society that shouts at inequality and injustice when it sees it. This means Tougher sentences for criminals. Enough of this probation for beating women or driving drunk.

  Anyways I am off for the weekend going to see Tammy and relax. Hope everyone has a great weekend and remember to stand up and shout if an injustice occurs.

Time for an Update

Well here I am working another exciting night. I have worked alot of nights over the last few months but that is coming to an end. I am starting a new shift next week 9-530. I will now be able to have a life again lol.
   So whats new since my last update. Tammy and I are doing well. I guess our relationship is now facebook official. She is deathly ill with the cold this week however and I hope she feels better soon. On Saturday her and Taylor (her daughter) came over and visited for awhile. Taylor played with a sticker book that mom bought and then we went out to Walmart as Tammy and I both needed some supplies.
 After doing this we went out to dinner the four of us which was a nice time. Later after we dropped mom off then Tam and I went to her place and watched Twilight Eclipse which I told her was not bad even though I would never admit it in public. We then went to a couple of places where her friends had gathered. We didnt stay there to long and then I went home.
  So I have couple days off after tonight which I think I will relax and take it easy. I have a couple things to do and stuff but most likely will be staying in due to the massive storm we are supposed to get.
   Sunday I will go to church and then I think Tammy and I are going to her brother in laws to watch the superbowl. Lets go Packers.
  Well other then that not alot going on although I have been watching with interest the protests and stuff in Egypt where the common man is taking back their country in order to better their lives. I am supportive and admire them as they fight for change that is needed. Their country is on the road to freedom and democracy. I will continue to watch and see what transpires.
  Well back on the phone for me and then home to stay in during the storm. And as always PEACE

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

  2. Live in the same province for a whole year
  3. Lose about 15-20 pounds
  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$
  8. Advance above current position at Job

That is all I can think of currently. SO I guess I will end for now. I can always add more later

Peace

Thursday, December 30, 2010

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
