i will be in ireland by this time next week.
exciting and fun times ahead.
also i have a big pack now. hurrah.

sooooooo i am planning a trip to ireland for a few weeks with a pal for st patties.
i am feeling better, i was just so tired of so many people yesterday. so yeah.
what is up this world?

a tad depressed, a whole lot of alone.
come on 2011, you can do better than that.

so its been a busy time. in order of the last weekends of my life i will do a recap. starting with last weekend. lets try point form:
-Went to Lytton, aka Canada's hotspot, and went river rafting with the family. weird to go on a family outting but it was way fun. saw many fishing bears and natives alike haha. i really think river kayaking is something i could get into. we shall see as time progresses. pictures:






then the weekend before we went up to green lake in the cariboo district of bc. it was great. its up by 100 mile house. we had giant fires, saw more bears, wore toques. a combo to be enjoyed.






the weekend before this i was in seattle. we checked out a mariners indians game. baseball isnt the best sport or anything in my opinion, but we usually end up going once a year. the most hilarious part is getting 5 drunk guys jammed into one hotel room. oh and the piroshky piroshky. heavenly.






the weekend before this i was up in tulameen again. also bears there. a lot of bears this year. its supposed to be a brutal winter, and i look forward to the changing of the seasons. so refreshing. next weekend i will sleep in. and it will be nice. also the chicago bears are 2-0, my nfl team to cheer for. hockey season starts really soon. i look forward to it. also spending time with this lady.

iphone pictures sometimes suck, but i am tired, and goodnight.

so tulameen camping was fantastic. we won gold medals in the volleyball tournament. my jeep got really dirty. we enjoyed sitting in rivers. we hiked to an amazing water fall. sadly we had no campfires, as per the almost bc wide campfire ban. we listened to a lot of mellow music. next year we are talking about getting a cabin. who knows what happens. so much changes every year. its pretty amazing and terrifying all at once. i played in a beach soccer tournament out in vancouver on the weekend. we didn't do too well. but we tried. and we won, tied and lost like friends. i am so stuck on listening to the great lake swimmers song changing colours. i recommend it to anyone wanting a mellow song with tambourines. i finished reading generation a on my camping trip. did not see that ending coming up. my friend just got back from a trip abroad in europe for 7 months. staying mostly in denmark, but he went everywhere. he is convinced i would love ireland. and so now we are planning a trip to ireland. why not right? i want to move. it's an urge that will pass. maybe i should just move and get outside. when i got home from tulameen my modem killed itself. i have since replaced it. what a hassle. this weekend we are going white water rafting. i will load pictures. anyone want to be friends on here? i feel like more friends. why not hm? couple more camping trips this summer. got caught up talking about winter and christmas with a coworker today. life is so exciting its fun to get carried away reminiscing sometimes. thinking about pursuing a barista. picture time.

so is there anything better than sitting in the sun listening to old prodigy and loving life. at this time i was supposed to be doing a hike around 4 lakes, sadly the trail was closed as per bears in the neighborhood. and i don't know if any of you lovely ladies would agree, but i think that i may be a tasty treat. either way it didn't happen. so now i am looking for something to do. 3 day work week next week! 5 days of camping with buddies! oh yes, last weekend i went on a hike with 3 of my buddies. a place called cheam peak. there was a lot of snow. we slid down some, my knees knocked while i prayed to not slide down others. maybe i post pictures of what we saw. we were a little over 2 kms in the air. there were eagles below us. that's a good way to judge it. yes, excited for camping trip next week. the annual tulameen blast. we are in a volleyball tourney up there as well. we've been practicing so we are pretty much fantastic. sexy ladies be up in review right now. off to spread the love!
ps was sent this link at work, and i laughed a lot.

there you have it. intense!

soooooo im down 50 lbs. been awhile away from here. its not like i did it in 2 weeks or something crazy. its been just under a year, and i definitely had the excess to lose it. my goal is to get down another 20 by the end of summer. and then to maybe try to tone up a bit more. the core is a little flabbier than i want haha. i have been enjoying running. basically 6 days a week for quite awhile with a little cheating. i am totally single now. tempted to after a friend of mine since about grade 10. i dont think my standards are amazingly high or anything. i mean i want some substance, but in vancouver i can basically meet no one. life has thrown a lot of curve balls in the last 2 and a half years. i think i want to get a new tattoo of a compass. i need to get another touched up reallllly bad. unbelievably bad. anyways, i feel like connecting with some people on here again. i mean the membership just got charged on my credit card, so what the hell right? anyone wanna chat? say yes, and then we can. hurrah! oh and on the tattoo note, any recommendations on a good place vancouverish related? hmm?

i have been missing. you are all still gorgeous and what have you, but i met the most gorgeous girl. and then i dated her. and now i date her. so yea. cheerful. buuuuuut she is in mexico for two weeks on a school thing. and i feel incredibly needy and awful. but i have been helping look after her cat. who loves me. more than my buddy who is supposed to be watching her cat. its nice to feel happy. what a difference a year has made. happy is the new depressed. also, new jeep in the works. and some tattooage. glory. go team canada? haha olympics be wreckin my sched. hows you?
oh yes, new picture.

that is me, on valentines day. i played risk. i won risk. always take africa boys n girls.

this is what it looks like to dress up as a panda, and commence getting drunk. hurray for me. i might've found a job working at a hydraulic shop, which i have done in the past while i wait for trains to move. so all in all, its been a good week. any halloween costume ideas pour moi? if so do tell. my birds lost his mind and is eating comic books!

anyone know how to make a jetpack? i need one. for truesy.
oh yeah, because i'm going to a costume party on the weekend and its a space theme. and i am wearing a panda costume with a jetpack. if i can find the jetpack. so ideas, i am open to them.
oh yea, was in seattle all weekend. awesome times. too much beer. cheap beer. if i lived in the states i would be an alcoholic, so it's for the best i don't. at least for the moment. we saw a baseball game with 4 of my buddies, and then wandered the town drinking cheap beer. then passed out. and woke up to a broken car, and amazing donuts. so life isn't all bad.
