Another lazy saturday blog post. Took a four day weekend this weekend by taking today as a vacation day. also four day weekend next weekend and then a five day weekend. i'm pretty excited for this february, lots of reading and laying in bed until the afternoon wanes. Moved into the new place in the middle of january, its in ill-hoods so its a bit scary. i love my roomates, love the place (will love it more when my actual room is finished) HATE the neighborhood. honestly, there has been two instances of the past 2 am door pounding. We were dumb enough to actually open the door on one occassion and were greeted by a severely intoxicated person who didnt believe that we didn't know where charlotte tailfeather was and that we weren't the people who owned the entire condo complex. I dont think he had a malicious bone in his body, but he was a mess and was not getting the idea that we didnt know that person and didn't know how to get a hold of her. I guess thats what you get for living a few hundred feet away from the windmill pub.Also, the walls here, pretty goddamn thin, hearing my roomies have sex while i lay in bed with only my extra pillow keeping me company is losing its lustre.
Going to invermere at the end of the month for a little snowboarding and alot of drinking in my roomies gf's condo, should be good times, but i haven't been in a long time so i'm sure i'm going to be like a new fawn out on the hill slipping and sliding everywhere, should be embarrassing, but i seem to be pretty immune to that.
Still working at dell for now, got a job offer to go up to hay river for 65,000 a year to start, but its hay river and i dont know if i have all the qualifications for the job, i'll look into it, i'd be dumb not to, but i wouldn't bet on me going up there.
sports, still playing in the greenpepper hockey league (www.gphl.ca) and starting to get my legs back, playing dodgeball in a league on thursdays and starting baseball again soon.
oh and i have a gripe with places like weight watchers and other places that have height/weight calculators on their websites. Honestly, its like fear mongering for people who are thinking they could be getting a bit pudgy (like myself). i'll let you know i'm 6'1/6'2 and i weight 220lbs. and they say on there that i'm 50 lbs overweight, if any of you saw me, if i lost 50 lbs i'd be a waif, its honestly unhealthy for them to use only height as a parameter for guaging what weight you should be. what about overall body size? my shoulders are way wider than normal and i'm barrel chested, how can you compare that to a person who has thin shoulders and are a little more streamlined in the chest, there is like 20lbs there. i know i'm ranting, but i'm sure they're dragging people in there just by scaring them with weight propaganda like that. and p.s. i like the ladies with a little bit of meat, i think thats more healthy than being incredibly underweight, and more attractive.
Thats pretty much the update. I'm sure i'll think of some more things that anger me, but i don't want to be a beacon of negativity, so i'll just add one per blog, that'll be my limit.
keep your stick on the ice,
Trav.
