Smoked out!

Monday a bunch of us men went out into the wilderness to seek fame, fortune, and smoked out eyes and lungs. We succeeded. Now, Scuitto lake isn't the most rugged or inhospitable wilderness we could find, but we found ways of making it a little interesting. This camp out consisted of manly things such as eating with our hands, peeing simultaneously off the same rock, a big fire, manly stories, and sleeping in a van when we could brave the wind chills and snow no more. K so they aren't the manliest things we've ever done and that last one... well not very manly at all but for a short, 16 hour, Remembrance Day camping trip it was quite nice. Tim, Mike, Cade, Behn, Seth, Curtis, Matthew.M, and myself braved the cold winds of a camp out monday night, it was swell. We ate hot dogs, and... well pretty much just ate hot dogs...Built a big fire.. that was soo smokey, even my sleeping bag... which was in the van... now needs to be dry cleaned.
Every room I have been into since I got home, now smells like smoke. I have showered now but, my jacket, 2 sweaters, a knife, and some leftover food are absolutly tainted by smoke, hehe.
From there, Curtis dropped me off at home, where I prepared for work in an hour. Let me tell you, if I hadn't been getting paid time and a half, I would have walked off the job I was so groggy. I am pretty sure I was thinking what to say to my customers and actually saying something else... hopefully they weren't offended.

All in all a good Remembrance Day... I do have to say though, I am not a big remember the war kinda guy. I have pretty much no relatives that actually fought in WWI or WWII that I know of... I am sure being in the war must have been tough though. The veterans have gone through a lot, and probably still do go through a lot.

So I am doing pretty great, have my N, cruisin' around town whenever I want... well not true at all actually... I still have to fight for the only insured vehicle haha. BUT SOON, I will have money and an insured car, and then no money for gas... waaahh us teens can never win can we?
I already feel like the errand boy... after like, a lot of errands... like.... 2 pretty much... hahah
Driving is sooo sweet... I used to not like it but... it is alot of fun. Especially being in the car by myself... I can take corners as fast as safe but not have anyone yelling at me... and turn my music louder than normal. yay!

I went to play drop in hockey on Monday and found out that it was cancelled Monday and Tuesday.. there was a tournament going on. So I stayed and watched for a bit, it was Midget AAA which is 14-17 year olds... pretty much my age. Actually I was pretty impressed... it was very exciting, I would rather watch this than WHL. The guys were pretty good at hockey, pretty good skaters, but there were a lot of turn overs and stuff, I wished I was out there. Someday I will get my chance to play on an actual team. After watching for about an hour, I picked up some pizza from little ceasars and brought it home to my family.

We have just stared some renos in the house, finished some but the best are yet to come. The best news, Lanny has moved from downstairs to upstairs and in 2 and a half weeks, me and Andrew will have pretty much the whole downstairs to ourselves. YAY!!!!! We will be sleeping in my room, and have all our instruments and computers and junk out where my moms bookstore was, which is leaving our family. We are also turning the downstairs bathtub (which has problems) into a shower stall, it will be grand, how are we going to have the money for this?... I have no clue, God will provide as usual. We are going to have the best studio in our downstairs ever... Electric, bass, and accoustic guitars, drums, and a keyboard. Pretty sweet.
I don't know how I am going to do with having another bed in the same room as me... I dont know how Andrew is going to do haha. It should be ok though!


LOST!!!
I am regretting saying... I am in love with this show now........
I know I know very hypocritical of me... But it is amazing.
I used to say it was dumb... but thats just because everyone was raving about it, and I fealt left out haha.
I have borrowed season one... which I have seen 50% of already but it is not good to watch in snippits. Soo I have been exploding through episodes the past couple days.
I love th whole cast... very well picked...
I would have to say my least favourites are Michael, Jin-Soo and Sun,, they have proved to be super annoying soo far... and of course my favourites are Hurley, Locke, and Kate... sometimes Jack... but he can be pretty... know it all...
EXCITING!
I have deffinetly not given up on 24 though, I still love my Jack Bauer... and will never leave him.


Life is awesome! I couldnt ask for more right now, other than my whole family being together... stoked for Christmas. I could possibly use a job change buuuuut... I cant complain about their flexability.


Love you!
stay off the roads! hehehe
You'll be hearing from...

I am sorry to hear that you are a fan of Kate. In time I think you will learn to love Jin as much as I do.

I am so pleased that you enjoy that show...it always hurts my heart a little bit when people say they hate it.

You Hypocrite..I cannot believe you.
Hahah, Oh and for your information..Locke is the stupidest character ever.

I say you are never going out in the van again alone after those confessions.
But actually you are kind of a little bit like mostly a good driver so... I am still proud of you.
