Woohoo!! I can have a job, finally!

Let's just hope that the mafia likes my qualifications ;) I speak good, and I'm relatively oblivious to anything happening around me short of a sack of valencia oranges travelling in a circular arc that happens to be coincident my head.

Hi again. Long time no see, folks. I'm still around. Still alive, and most certainly still kicking.

I've been told many things, many times. Seems like everyone these days has an opinion on how the world should be, but very few people are making changes. I don't know if that's a new thing for our generation, or something that's always happened, but I just didn't notice because, well, you know, I was like 5 at the time. Wow. How vague was that whole paragraph? Let's just pretend that I didn't write it, okay? I won't say anything if you won't.

Living in a condo here all by meself(sp) is lonely though. Of course, noone else in their right frame of mind would be able to tolerate my habit of 'asleep at 1, up and ready to go at 6.' Maybe I've finally snapped and have reached the point where the brain has given up and no longer uses that time to organize things - instead, it goes into the massive "in pile" in my head and gets cleared out with every round of tequila?

Or maybe I just need some more underwear gnomes. They're nocturnal, but quiet. And if South Park has taught me anything, it's that they're always friendly and up for some cookies.

Mmm. Cookies.

Tonight, I am meeting a girl named Ashlee.

She likes pink, is extremely intelligent, and hates daytime naps. I'd suggest not telling her to take one unless you have to. On the other hand, she exhibits so many independence attributes that it's amazing - even if it takes her a little longer, she will get it done. That's something that I don't see too often these days.

But, kids are so amazing, aren't they? A friend of mine is about to have a baby, so I'm living vicariously through him and finding out just what it takes to make a baby tick. Apparently, the answer is "a lot."

Strollers, carriages, organic baby food, little mesh nets that babies can chew on to mash up their food so that parents wouldn't have to do it for them. It's all on the completely opposite end of the spectrum that I am sitting at - but I guess that's why I can come across as an uncle.

Same way that I like pets - I don't have any nor do I have the time to devote to one (out and about far too much), but everyone knows that I enjoy playing with them now and then!

Yep.

Sad again. Another trip passed up, I had my bags ready, and had to bail as I was booking the last minute flight.

*sigh*

No vegas / Joshua tree. My harness needed a good workout too. Had to settle for a lowly local joint - we found one route that was PURE stemming, which stated (quite blatantly) at the bottom that there was "no handholds". Yes, I had that same look when I saw it and then looked wayyyyyyyyy up in the air.

That's fun.

Oh, and in 2 weeks, snowboarding, yadda yadda ya.

On the other hand, I don't get to play hard enough lately. Bah.

I am very sad.

I could have been in Puerto Vallarta right now. There are so many places that I COULD be, and it would've been an amazing way to cap off the final days of my travelling binge. Alas, reality calls, and back here I came.

It's been an extremely productive few days, at least, so I don't consider it a waste of time, but you're always caught up with what could have been, you know?

At least I had a good cup of coffee to start the day, along with some good lychee drink stuffs.

I was DD at a house party the other night. That meant that not only was I amusing myself at the antics of people that were sobriety-challenged, but that I was pappa bear. One of the girls had her daughter with her, and I ended up playing and chatting with her most of the night.

At one point, she decided to teach me how to do a cartwheel and show off her other gymastic moves. It was here that I realized that me doing a handstand is a very very very bad idea. Well, not at this point, but more of then my head was heading straight for the ground with my feet not too far behind.

It was at this point where I realized that gravity seems to affect everyone, but it seems to taunt me. After several nasty falls within one day, it's finally hitting home that it just might win. One day.

But I'll have my revenge, and it will be sweet.

La vie da loca!

The past week has been unreal. From waking up to the sound of crashing waves from the ocean right outside my tent, hosting several old friends who have joined me for the next little while, canoeing with my mom on a quiet little lake, to hiking in the forests of BC with good company, it's been a crazy week.

In retrospect, I really was all over the map, and am glad that things are settling down for a little more balance right now (even if it is temporary).
