Finally time for a proper update.
I'm sitting in an internet cafe on Kensington after a loverly steak lunch.
So here's my holidays in a nutshell.
For Chrismas the hotel threw us a party on the 22nd. It was a formal dinner in dance with very cheap drinks. I met a girl 10 minutes before going. We went together. I tried seeing her for a bit but she had this nasty habit of sleeping with other men. That didn't bother me so much... it was the fact that she wouldn't sleep with me that had me discouraged. Met another girl. She's a real sweetheart and she has a nintendo gamecube (+1). I'm hoping to take her out after i get back from Edmonton.
Christmas was a bit nutty. We worked twelve hour days all week except for Christmas Day. That day was a solid 16 hours. Did 2 overnight shifts for New Years Eve and the day before. New years was cool... we did a countdown with champagne in the Staff Caff and then wen toutside to watch the fireworks. With a full moon and Mount Kidd as a backdrop, the fireworks were absolutely unbelievable.
Heading up to see the family tomorrow. Should be fun times with plenty of belated Christmas shopping. And speaking of Christmas.. I wrote my own Christmas carol
*ahem* open E tuning (D,Bm,A,G-first four lines... alternates to A, Bm, G for the second four lines) 4 count timing finger pick it
Christmas is a time when people gather round a tree
To worship some guy who's been dead since the year zero twenty three
They claim it is a holiday of peace and love and charity
Not because comercialism that we all know live and breathe
But still I see you running down to the department store
Where you'll spend a thousand dollars on a diamond cause you want to score
With your significant other who won't love you anymore
If she thinks that you just cheaped out with a card
Christmas is a time when we get drunk and celebrate
And buy presents for people we like and none for people that we hate
The food is always tasty good the portion sizes great
Which is why so many people leave this holiday overweight
They claim that they will lose it all starting on the first
It seems like an overblown lie so i don't know what's worse
They try to join the gym but there's no money in the purse
Because Christmas leaves us all a little broke
Christmas is a time when all the homeless people freeze
Because it is to fricken cold at minus twenty five degrees
And some commit a crime so that in prison they can stay
Cause burglary gets you five months which brings you out to May
Cause then they are all warm and fed not living on the street
And freezing to death seems much worse than sodomy or getting beat
And in Canadian Prisons they always serve you meat
Some even have Nintendo Sixty Four
Christmas is a time when some of us have to work
To give people with too much cash a false sense of worth
We wait on all them hand and foot they've been spoon fed since birth
Which is why Christmas is my least favorite day...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I like your song. You seem intimately familiar with prison life, hmmmm. I went to the gym on Saturday (like I almost always do), and it was freaking *packed*. Sadly, most of those people won't keep going, resolution or no. Homeless people freezing makes me sad.
