Shits and giggles....

Hey,
What a nice weekend... Friday I spent most of the afternoon downtown stopping in the various shops/coffee shops/pubs...hehe... it was fun. So I brought Betsy to the doctor (my car to the mechanic) and it turns out all she needed was oil. I figured I'd drop a quart in her on Thursday night on my way home and Friday when I brought her to see Marz's dad he said she was fine. All I need is to lube up the ball joint so that when I turn left she doesn't squeek. Anyway after that Mars and I figured we'd go for a beer as Marz has been couped up because of his ankle. Anyway the rye and ginger was good and Marz and I ended up getting a pretty good buzz.. It was 6pm and we were half in the bag... it was great! So then we bought some meat and had a BBQ, after that we played some poker at Anick's till 3 or so... Yesterday I went to the downtown market and the Dieppe market. During the afternoon Anick Marz and I went to Benny's cottage for a swim in his pool. Fuck I love that place, it's so quiet and relaxing... OMG! Benny's dog, murray, is obsessed with catching a squirrel, no seriously it's the funniest thing ever. He will sit by this tree for the whole time that he is outside. He will continuously stare at the tree all day and if you tell him that you see a squirrel he will try to climb the tree... LOL! it's great. Last night was pretty chill we played some more cards and shot the shit... I didn't feel like drinking as I was working this morning...

So this week marks the one year anniversary of my whole "Gym/diet" thing... I don't want to rant about this but I'm very proud of myself and think that I should at least mention is as I been thinking of this over the last few days. Over the last year I've notice a few big changes; first of all I've notice the physically changes, obviously, I've lost about 35 lbs, well now it's 25 because of me gaining some weight because of the constant training. but I've lost 35lbs of fat anyway, but the biggest change is the way ppl speak/approach me. I'm not sure if this is a good thing, it's harder to know who is trying to be your friend for the right reasons, at least when I was fat when someone spoke to me or whatever it was because they either just want to talk or truly like the way I was. But I found myself not being myself when I was overweight. I didn't feel the way I looked (if that makes sense). Anyway I feel great and I think that that is the main thing. This week also marks the 1 year anniversary of my break up with Julie, I'm so glad I'm not with her anymore and that I'm over her, this time last year I thought I was going to die. No really I found myself drinking myself just fucking senseless... on top of that I would go jogging every day and to the gym 4 times a week and I was working 40 hours. I was keeping myself as busy as I could, which was the best thing for me at the time, I also dated a couple of ppl that I was interested in at the time but now that I look back I don't think I was very fair to them, even to this day I feel badly about it. I will never make this mistake again.

Next weekend I'm going Kayaking on Saturday. I'm supposed to go with Monique but I'm going if she comes of not. I will go alone if I have to. I'll bring a book and park my ass on the other side of the Island and read. I think this'll be fun and relaxing. I would, however like it if Mo would come.... (got that Mo!)

So that's it for today, I think I've wrote enough for one day... Ohh.. Julie is now with her billeting family.. for those of you who don't know that billeting is, it's when each member of Katimavik is taken in by a family for a week and they go about doing some stuff... fuck I don't know what they do but they do stuff... ok... and in 2 weeks I will see her... I'm really looking forward to it but I think it's going to be sort of stressful as she will have to tend to her Katima-family as they are coming with her. I'm glad to be able to meet them but I feel as though I won't have time to just chill and be myself but who knows right... actually I've just realized that I don't know what I'm talking about.. why wouldn't I be myself... I don't know I'm tired. what I'm really looking forward to is when she's back permanently... mmmm....

K I'm outa here...
Thanks for reading....
