Had a physical today, and have been given a clean bill of health to continue my dive training, which I intend to do this coming weekend.

Now, the way the course has been set up is that there are four ocean dives: two at Whytecliff Park and two at Porteau Cove. I did one already @ Whytecliff and was working through the second when my...

Had the most AWESOME adventure today; the day I finally did my first open water dives in the ocean!

Woke up real early (4:30am), but we needed to be at Whytecliff Park by 7am (there was a bike race going on nearby that meant we needed to be there before any traffic problems blocked off the way. Kitted up and headed out into the ocean...

Well, that sure fuckin' lasted, didn't it?

Just got a call from Boston Pizza. It was the manager. She wanted to tell me that she didn't think it was going to work out, so she decided to let me go.

This after I finally started to feel happy for the first time in ages. This after I filled out an application form for Income Assitance...

I know my last blog was full of gloom and doom, but it's amazing how much things have changed for me since then.

The biggest, of course, being that the very next day, I got a call from Boston Pizza in Pitt Meadows, saying that they wanted to interview me for a job. And within five minutes, they said that they wanted to hire me....

I'm tired of life fucking me over.

I'm tired of wasting my time trying to find a job.

I'm tired of life giving me what I want with one hand and taking it away with the other.

I'm tired of making any effort at all to try and fix this.

WARNING: Long winded rant ahead. Sorry for it, but I need to vent.

Well, the past couple of days have certainly been filled with suck. Where do I begin?

1). Managed to lose $20 I knew I needed for other things at the casino tables @ the PNE, forcing me to dip into my dwindling reserve to cash to make sure I had food for...

Second week of dive classes over and done with, and I've got to say that I've found these two to be a lot easier. There were a number of things I wasn't too comfortable with (mostly the "giant stride" and "backward roll" entries), but on the whole, I'm beginning to feel a lot more comfortable underwater, and am looking forward to going to Whytecliff Park...

Well, this week certainly has been awesome.

I started off Monday getting ready for my first ever scuba class. I was excited and nervous at the same time, but we managed to get everything together and into the water. And I gotta tell ya, the rush of taking my first breaths underwater energized me in a way Ive never felt before. It certainly was a...

Don't have time to do it now, but tonight I promise a blog wherein I gush about how amazingly awesome-o my week has been. Stay tuned!

On a lighter note, today's the day I finally begin my in pool training for my dive course. Cant adequately express how excited about this I am. Ive been waiting six months for this date to arrive. Its gonna be awesome!

My mom caught me surfing the site today (I generally don't surf SG is there's the possibility that my parents are nearby), and while she wasn't that mad about it, she did say that she doesn't want me surfing "porn."

I was a little miffed about this. I've seen a lot of people give SG this definition, and it upsets me. SG is a lot...
