Spit It Out!!!!!

So I finally looked up the lyrics to Spit It Out by Slipknot.... I told Cory a while ago that I would sing that song with  him and his band for the next Span Zan Fest next summer....  I may have bitten off more than I can chew... Like I've loved this song for a very long time now, and I pretend to sing along when its playing, but I totally forgot about just how fast it was!!!! Like all Slipknot songs its fast, but the vocals are especially fast...  and its a more vocal orientated song... so I'll have to be bang on.... this is gonna be so hard, but I'm looking forward to the challenge,,,, I'm gonna write out all the lyrics, and start bringing my ipod to work and just play that song over and over again, and work on singing along... I figure I have a little over 8 months to perfect it, and I'm sure we'll start actually practicing it in 4 or 5 months... I'd like to practice with the band for a good while before the show... its one thing to sing along to the track, but a live band will be totally different.   and infront of ppl too.... not to sure how that'll go... haahhaha,,, but anyway.....
So its getting kinda close to Christmas.... here it is December the 8th.... I've only bought 2 parts of Emily's present.... I still wanna get a few more small things, and I also have to get a bunch of little stuff for her stocking.... so yeah, I have some stuff to do still.... although Emily pretty much took care of buying Christmas presents for all the families,,, so thats sweet, and she wrapped them all up and everything,,, we'll probably send those out sometime early this coming week...  then yeah,, I guess we have less than a month till we fly back to PEI.... that should be awesome!!!!   Not gonna be there for actual Christmas this year,,, but shortly after, so it should still be good.... and we're also pushing back Ises Night this year!!! so thats gonna be fantastic!!!! Cannot wait for that!!!! its gonna be on the 4th of January this year,,, a day after Emily and I arrive.... so hopefully we'll still be on Alberta time and be able to stay up and partying all night!!!
But anyway, I should get going,,, I'm supposed to finish up our thank you cards from our wedding,,, I did one yesterday and it was hard!~!!! hahah, but whatever, its gotta get done... So yeah,,, till the next time

Sunday morning speel

So,,, Sunday... November the 4th 2012.... 10:18 AM..... Em is at church....  her first time going out here... since we've moved to Alberta I mean...  she asked me if I wanted to go with her... I kinda chuckled a bit, and said no thanks... I don't know why she would think that I'd start going to church with her out here...  none of my opinions have changed about it,,,, but whatever, I'm not going to get worked up about it...
 So yeah, its my day off,,, just having a little smoke now.... pretty good... although no matter how much I smoke, there's always that stupid cat doing something.... So Emily and I got a kitten like a week and a little bit ago.... and she's cute and small and funny and all that kinda fun stufff....  but she's also annoying as fuck!!!!! the friggen thing never stops!!!! its so annoying!! its a good thing that the dog is starting to play with her now, cuz that tires her out a lot! That is the whole reason we got her in the first place,,,, was to get tucker a playmate. And so far I think its working.... They keep each other busy a lot of the time... but still the cat gets to be too much!!!,  But anyway,, as of right now,,, I can see both of them, and they are both  asleep!!! so I'm free to have some full,, thats right, Full alone time!!!! its kinda weird,,, this almost never happens anymore,,, its kinda weird,, but I still really love having some alone time.... I get it every now and then when Emily works nights during the week,,, but usually its not for too long, and I have muay thai on tuesdays, thursdays, and fridays, so that doesn't leave me with much left....  But its still all good because we usually do get at least one day a week together,,, Like today,,, today is both of our off day...  I think we're going to go to dinner and a movie.... not sure where yet, but maybe somewhere nice,, we have a bit of money now... plus I get 2 more checks this month!, thats pretty sweet...  but I guess there is still a few things we want to get for the apartment... Like just last night I wanted to get this sweet projector instead of a TV... but she doesn't think its necessary...  I'm not even going to get into what's necessary and what's not... but lets just say there has been some things that I've questioned that she said was "necessary",...  ...
But anyway,,, I'm way too distracted to try and write right now....  so I think I'm gonna sit back and watch episode 2 of a tv show called Misfits,... I'll try to write sometime this coming week.. maybe try to make it a semi often thing now... we'll see... till then...

quick post

So I originally thought I had a lot of stuff to write down,,, and I probably do,,, but I don't really feel like writing much tonight... So with that,,, here goes...
So I got married a week and a halfish ago... ... ... I have so many wicked things to say about my trip home, time on PEI, the wedding, and the drive back,,,, but for now, I'm not really going to talk about it... I'm tired,,, my head hurts,,, my nose is stuffed up,,, and I just want to fall asleep,,,, but even sleep is hard to do lately... haven't had a really good sleep in a while now.. can't even remember when it was.... I guess it kinda started when I got sick in Winnipeg... thru up more in that one day than I did in the entire year leading up to it... I don't know what kinda bug or virus I got, but it was awful!!!! and I don't think I'm fully recovered from it.... Not to mention, my wife's wisdom teeth are coming thru and causing some serious pain for her,,, which sucks all around!!! when she's not happy, I'm not happy.... I know thats kinda how it goes with marriage, but this really sucks... we're both sick and feeling shitty, and neither of us are really getting better yet... that, mixed in with all the shit we have to get together and take care of.... its just a really hectic time right now.... I know she is doing her best tho,,, I know it doesn't seem like she did that much today, but I know she did,,, I know she did way more than I know or can see,,,, She is super wicked!!! not just for me, but in general... She is already making my life easier,,, well maybe not easier,,, but better.... I guess I'm just curious to see how this is gonna work.... I mean, we both know each other really well, and we have been together for a long time now,,, but its official... it actually happened... We are married.... so yeah,,, I guess it has hit me,,, I just don't know how to handle it yet... I'm doing the best that I can,,, just not sure if its enough,,, or at least, the right amount..... Anyway, I'm even more tired now,,, so I'm gonna go crawl into bed with my wicked beautiful wife, and try to get some sleep... some good long sleep.... so, till the next time, when I hopefully talk more bout the wedding and the preceding events,,, but till then....

Chillin in Toronto...

So here I sit in Toronto Pearson Airport.... still have around 45 mins till Boarding time.... Been sitting in this airport for a good 3 and a half hours now... Just waiting till 8:10 to board... then I'm off to Moncton cuz they couldn't get me a flight to PEI till 2morrow night.. which is super lame!!! Not Impressed... First my first flight was delayed 2 hours,, then they told me that the plane in Toronto would wait for us, cuz there was 13 of us from Edmonton who were going to PEI... then once we landed in toronto, they said the flight had left, and we had to stay at a hotel for the night, and fly out the same time 2morrow afternoon... but that was bullshit, there was no way I could wait all the way till the next day to get a flight to PEI... So they said the closest they could do was fly  me to Moncton,, with no transportation to PEI... so I called Em, and saw if she could give me a lift... she agreed, so I set that up.., and the stupid assholes at Westjet only gave me 20 bucks for supper,... so yeah, needlesss to say I was not happy with what happened... so I was kinda a dick to all the agents I dealt with... but I don't give a shit,,, they really fucked up this time.... Anyway,,, so I've been sitting by my port to my plane for the past hour,,,, Spent a good few hours in a restaurant having a nice steak and fries,,, along with a good 4 double rum and cokes... so needlesss to say, I've got a goood clow on.... Just hope I can stay awake till my flight leaves... doing pretty good so far... watched 3 episodes of The League... so glad I dowloaded that this past weekend... definetly kept my attention for the past while.... so yeah, now I'm just gonna sit an chill for the next hour or so... hope that boarding starts early for my flight... Then yeah,, ,supposed to land at 11:40 PM 2night.,., Emily is going to pick me up there, then we'll drive to the cottage for the night.... Its gonna be one long ass day!!! I got up this morning at 5:30,,, after going to bed at like 3:30... so I'm running off 2 hours sleep,,, ,Could not sleep on the last plane for the life of me... I was so tired,, but I still coud not sleep,,, not sure what was up,, but yeah, I'm starting to feel it now... Super tired.... just trying to stay awake till I get on the plan,,, then once I'm on and in my seat, I'm just crash!!!! Hopefully anyway.,,,  We'll see... but yeah, for now , I think I have enough time to watch one more episode of the league,,, then I'm just gonna wait around till my flight leaves.... So yeah, till the next time,,, maybe later 2night, but ya never know....

4 more days till I get to go home....

So here it is monday night..... I fly back home to PEI on friday morning at 8 AM... I am so stoked!!! Not just to see Emily,and all my friends, and having my bachelor party, getting married, and partying after....  But just to be back home for a bit.. its sad, but I'm starting to miss it a bit already... Like don't get me wrong, I like it out here and everything,,, but time changes,,, and now that I've been working at this place for a while, I'm starting to see the politics.... and it sucks...  Thats kinda the nice thing about starting a new job; you have no opinions, or judgements towards anyway,, everything is just new,,, but once you work there for a while, you find out who the lazy ppl are,, what ppl to stay away from,,, what ppl you can't tell what to,... all these little things,,,, and I'm starting to get into that stage... it sucks a lot... like I still try my best to stay out of everything,,, I stay in my booth, and only come out for breaks and lunch,, try not to talk to anyone as much as I can,,,, but still I manage to get pulled into stuff,,, I guess it has to come eventually,,, but yeah, work is going ok now I guess,, I'm just looking forward to this "vacation"....  
So yeah,,, I fly to PEI on Friday,,, arrive at 6 pmish.... Emily and I are gonna go for thai food, then head to the cottage,,, have a nice relaxing first night back.... Then saturday is my bachelor party!!! so we're going paintballin at 2 I guess,,, then I'm not sure whats going on after that... haha, I guess thats most likely the point, but yeah, I have no idea whats happenin,,, what crazy things Dave has planned, if any,,, which I'm sure he does.... I just hope shit doesn't get too crazy!!    Then yeah, not sure exactly the specifics on the whole next week,,, all I really know is we're getting our marriage licenses on monday,,, having our rehersal dinner on friday,,  then get married saturday afternoon(hopefully outside), then party all night... till 1 am, then Emily are outta there! staying at a cottage someplace,,, then I think the plan is to start driving the next day around supper time,,, drive for 3ish hours, then camp our first night.....   which would be soooooo awesome!!!!!  Then yeah, long drive the next day, till we get to Tony's place... now we're not sure if we wanna stay there the night, or drive another 4or so hours till we get to Emilys sisters place...  whichever happens is cool.... then the next day we drive 3/4 the way to thunder bay, and camp at a sweet spot there(apparently), then drive to thunderbay the net day, and do a bunch of hiking and exploring where Emily went to school last year.... Then the next day I think we're driving all the way to Manitoba, and maybe seeing Jeff? but thats not for sure yet either,,,,, if not, we'll find  a place to camp that night,,, then straight to Edmonton the next day,,,   Thats the rough plan for now anyway,,, we'll see what ends up happening....
Anyway,,, I just went off on a long rant there,,,, now its time to calm the fingers down....    So yeah,, onto some serious matters,,,, this whole getting married thing... wow... its kinda coming up fast now....,,, I know I'm not really ready yet,,, with all the stuff that I need to do, but yeah,, its crazy how fast this came,,, I remember even a few weeks ago how it seemed soooo far away,,,,, shit I still didn't get my groomsmen their wedding gift yet.... not even to sure what I'm gonna get,,, I have a few ideas,,, but they aren't that cool of gifts I don't think... I wanted to get somethign awesome... but all the guys are pretty different,, so its hard to get one thing for everyone,,,, uhhh, soo difficult...
Anyway,, I still have to have a shower,,, then I'm off to an early sleep,,, and Cory is driving me to work 2morrow,,, thats gonna be fantastic!!!!  Alright, till the next time...

wednesday night

So here it is on Wednesday night,,, I'm just sitting at the edge of the living room to the patio having a smoke,,,, getting ready for bed.... It was an ok day today... I didn't really accomplish much at work,,, but it didn't really matter... I think I'm starting to finally adopt their slow working attitude... like I'm actually taking as much time as they think I should take... lol,,, like today,,, I could have easily finished those 3 wear rings, 2 throat bushings, and that one rework wear ring.... but then I wouldn't have anything to do tomorrow.... so I left the 2 big wear rings for tomorrow morning.... gives me something to do first thing..... So yeah, then after work, I came home,,, talked to Emily for a short bit.... then watched an episode of sons of anarchy... getting crazy now... episode 9 of season 3.
Anyway.... I realised at work today that this is my last weekend here before I go back home.... man that's coming a lot faster that I thought it would.... I knew it would kick into high gear at the 2 week mark,,, but now it just seems ridiculously close.... tomorrow is thursday.....  then friday I get rides to work with cory, and the days are usually interesting,,,,,  saturday sunday will be my last sleep in days in the king sized bed alone..... wow.... thats crazy.......  Then yeah, 4 days next week and I'm off to PEI on a plane friday morning at 8 AM.....   Its going to be a crazy time!!!!  But yeah, like Emily said, we are going to do so many things in the next month.... like one month from now, so much will have happened!!!, I'm going to try to write in this once a day during my entire trip to PEI,, and as much as I can on the drive back out here....  which should also be an awesome time!!!!  but yeah, thats time to come,,,, I should be updating about times that have passed.... but maybe another time,,, its getting to my bed time now... so I should be leaving,,, so with that.. I'm gone....
