| New Truck |
[13 Jun 2008|10:47pm] |
Well I replaced my car that died in a tragic fire with a new (to me) truck..
1996 F250 XLT 4X4 SuperCab, power locks, power windows, captains chairs with lumbar support, Air conditioning.. 1997 7.3L Turbo Diesel, newer ZF 5 speed transmission, upgraded flywheel (dual mass replaced with a single mass), new tires, blinging rims, spare set of rims, new alternator, a/c compressor.
It has rear flood lights, tow package, 1 ton rear axle (read not breakable by me)..
I will immediately upon returning from hawaii, be installing my stereo and speakers (200 watt mp3/cd player and 230 watt speakers), fabbing up a front winch bumper, installing the winch, lights, CB radio. I will be out looking for 33inch or 35 inch mud terrains to mount on my spare set of rims. Also a 4 inch lift will be aquired and when i wear out the front axle I will replace it with a solid Dana 60 front end.
Other things will be added as deals find their way to me.. lockers, etc..

In my long quest to remove everything of yours from my space I continue to find things.
Today I find a little booklet thing you put together with pictures and poems you said you wrote..
Every single one of those poems I checked on the internet were stolen from other peoples blogs...

| I broke my arms |
[02 Jun 2008|05:07pm] |
So last night (22 hours ago) I jumped over a tennis net, and didnt make it. My foot hit the top of the net, i got tangled and my full weight came down on my outstretched arms.
I was paralyed with pain at first, but after some rolling and whining I managed to get up and even opened a bottle of water. Then I guess after the shock wore off the pain started and my arms seized up.
Meredith took me to the emergency ward in Ladner and we waited 3 hours to be admitted. I got xrays on both my arms and the results were not good, but not terrible.
I have a hairline fracture in my left elbow in one of the bones, and in the right I split the end of one bone in my right elbow. The split bone(so sayeth the doctor) leaked blood and other goo into the joint and paralysed it.
So my left arm is free and the right is in a fibreglass/tensor bandage cast.
I could barely move last night and this morning, but, keeping with my superhuman like powers I now have full extension and rotation in my left arm. Hurts horribly but I can move it. The right arm no longer needs to stay in the sling, it doesnt hurt to be just supported in the cast.
My prediction for the next 24 hours is 50% strength in the left and being able to unwrap the cast on the right for a shower.

| I got paid to do nothing.. |
[01 Jun 2008|02:17am] |
The past two days I have been paid for no real work..
Friday I spent 2 hours waiting around for a truck to go on a parts run and another 3 hours driving around in a big ass dodge diesel 3500, done right up with all the BD performance stuff you shove into it. I am paid too much to just sit around and sweep so doing something semi useful was better than letting me off early I suppose.
Saturday (todayish) I DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! FOR EIGHT HOURS!!
I got there early.. started at 8:55 and dicked around getting the shop ready for my expected customers. Adrian and Ben don't show up. Jeff fucks off to "the bank" for the entire day and the owner and the foreman are gone for the weekend. So that leaves me in charge by senority, but since the guys fucked off all I was in charge of was myself. No trucks came in so I actually got paid to sit on my ass, read, sing loudly, work on my tan, nap, clean my car, wander aimlessly, and rub dirt on my hands so i could wash them for something to do. It was retarded, but we have to have someone on the floor incase a customer drops in heh.
So hilarious..

| Im back! |
[29 May 2008|07:53pm] |
Since my other blog isnt deleting my posts after they are a month old I am coming back here..
I had a dream last night
Hmm
I think I saw the future last night..
In my dream I was walking through what I assume is a small auto repair garage, there's car parts on the floor, and a dusty looking chevy blazer in the corner. The sun is bright and high in the sky and when I look from outside through the bay doors I can see a rectangle of light and part of a person. I walk inside and allow my vision to clear and its filled with things. Shelves line the walls filled with radios, flashlights, a first aid kit, car batteries, spools of wire, bottled water, and other assorted things. The rectangle of light is a small door leading outside and the part of the person is now a dark silhouette.
I make my way through and after a moment of hesitation I step through the door and the sun blinds me. All I can see is a work bench and someone working on something at it. I can hear the sound of metal scraping against stone. As my eyes get used to the shock from darkness to the light, I can make out more of the person.
He is wearing black boots, the leather is worn down in some places but still holding together. Dirty/dusty forest camo pants and a black wife beater. Theres a pistol in a thigh holster on his right thigh. A large knife in a sheath on his left. His hair is short and thin but no bald patches.
Now I can see clearly and I am on the otherside of the bench and I can see the man's face. He has a series of scars under his right eye all over the cheek, might have been a burn scar. Another scar from above the left eyebrow to down on the left cheek and theres a piece of his eyebrow (the hair) missing. His right eyebrow is pierced.
Its me.. maybe 10 years from now..
I take a step closer and the man(me) stops sharpening his blade and slams it down on the table. Dirt comes up and things fall off the bench. He puts both his hands on the edges of the table and lifts himself up slightly.
"They're coming.." he whispers..
And then I wake up..

| Kamloops |
[24 Mar 2008|08:47pm] |
If I can remember everything I will try...
Friday at 10am,
We hit the road and decided to take the fraser canyon instead of the coquilaha. There was reports of snow up there and the canyon is more scenic anyway. The original plan was to go to kelowna and meet up with Jess (Merediths cousin) and have dinner out there. Instead we just took our time through old highway #1.
We stopped for lunch at the Kanaka Bar Cafe in Boston Bar. I got a damn big mushroom burger and it was only $6!!!! WTF!? lol After that we came to a forest service road outside of Lytton and took out the guns. Meredith took to a handgun really fast especially since it was her first time with one. We dumped 2 magazines in the 1911 and 2 in the rifle and went back on the road.
Thank Zombie Jesus I took over 200 pictures so I can remember all this..
Next we came through Merrit and took the back road to Kamloops, we stopped at a weirdo campsite thing where a bunch of squatters were living and I got to drink fresh river water, so good. I took some in a bottle and drank it later.. soooo good.
Another stop was taken in a creepy cemetary, the oldest grave marker we could make out was 1912 and the youngest was 1946. There was a headstone that said Mary Raspberry!!
uhhh then I dont remember much except for taking video of all the cows we saw until we got to kamloops.
In Kamloops we got to Jess's place, changed, showered, went out for dinner to Kelly O Brians, which in kamloops isnt disgusting like in surrey. We met Jess's boyfriend Chris who is a server there. I had a Philly Subwich, so fucking good, prime rib, mozzarella, red and green peppers, red onion all on a toasted bun.. so good. Then after dinner we went back to our temp home and watched 40 year old virgin and slept.
Saturday:
We got up early and drove 320 kilometers to Nakusp to go to magic healing hot springs. It was great, the hot pool was 105 degrees and there was a cold one at 55 degrees... That was fucking cold! This woman just walks in and sits down so I thought it wasnt that cold. I ask her how cold it is and she says not bad so I plunge in. It was friggan glacier water, I was out of there so fast. I eased into a 2nd time and that was okay, but there was no way I could hang out in there.
It took us nearly 8 hours round trip to the hot springs and back so we had dinner in salmon arm and a bar called the barley station and they had a station burger on the menu. I felt closer to home a bit.
We got the liquor store just in time and apparently Jess didnt read the door and pulled instead of pushed. We had a mini heart attack thinking we were too late lol.
Pre drank crown and coke at Jess's while the girls got ready. I was done in a record breaking 5 mins :D ( I showered at the hot springs so all i needed was a new shirt and some gel) We got a ride with a girl named Mel who drove a nice jeep. Her goal was to pick up a guy and I guess have him take her home so she didnt need to drive again. She succeeded lol. Pre drinking is definately the way to go... I bought a lot of drinks and only spent $75 and that included uhh... 5 double crown and cokes, 3 glasses of wine (2 for meredith 1 for Jess, none for me haha) and two gladiators and a vodka slime. I love gladiators so much haha.
That night I saw drunk Meredith, so funny. She was keeping with me drink wise and then I broke ahead while she just got drunk. We were leaving the bar because we were going to try a new place and I figured we would just go home because of how drunk she was. Well... fuck.. she found her second wind. She was doing tae kwon do in the streets (bruised my wrist sparring with her lol) climbing scaffolding on the way to Kelly O Brians. so funny. We get to the restaurant and its all locked up, Chris and the other guys let us in and Meredith comes in talking a scottish accent. She sees our server from the night before and yells JAAAAAMMMESSS and then proceeds to talk in her scottish accent. Then the alcohol finds its way back in control and she is passing out in a booth. We finally get a cab at like 3am.... Meredith and I leave, Jess stays with Chris. The cab ride was $12@!! thats so crazy. Anyway I get her into a bed, I head off to bed, and then I hear Jess in about 4 or 5am... she is crying.. Meredith talks to her for awhile and reports to me and we all go to sleep.
Sunday:
And let the hang over begin...
We didn't do much of anything sunday. I being the champion drinker lost my hang over a few minutes after brushing my teeth, the girls were out most of the day. We made pancakes for breakfast. I took a 3 hour nap and woke up to mexican food being cooked. It was delicious, Jess and Meredith = awesome cooks.
Later that night Chris came over and we played cards and drank strawberry smoothies full of vodka. Pretty good, I am the drink master.
Again went to sleep probably around midnight..
Monday:
Woke up this morning feeling great.. why?because it was 10am.. shit! had to get up and leave. I had doritos and coke for breakfast, we were told the coquihala was free of snow so we took that for the extra speed we'd gain. Didnt happen, 20 mins to the toll booth and we got snow, at the toll booth and it was coming down pretty good. Had to go 30 - 40 km for what seemed forever. Rest of the drive once we got to Hope was good. I took a lot of photos and we stopped for lunch at white spot in Chilliwack. Got home shortly after and I was surprised by my mom with an amazing easter present.
One of her co workers is from mexico and she got her cousin to smuggle me up a bottle of Mezcal!!!!! it is legit too. worm and everything. It is right from Oaxaca. The holy grail of tequila haha.
Now I am posting on here, and ready to shower and sleep in my own bed, not some guy named Davids (he wasnt home, I wasnt sleeping with him, fuckers)

So... I think I have become a mule for Charlotte...
She likes the american mountain dew. American Mountain Dew has caffeine in it, and Canadian mountain dew doesn't because of a rule that clearish drinks can't be caffeinated or something. So am I smuggling illegal goods?

So I made a trip to a foreign land.
Had jack in the box which was delicious, but it explains why Americans are so fat.
Went to Bellisfare, which was alright, I got a pair of nice Magnum Service Boots, paid $52USD which was about $47CAN they are retailing for 120 - 150 online. Got a 15 inch high carbon stainless knife with compass and fishing kit in the handle for $12!! retail $45. An invader zim shirt for Charlotte, it has the doom song on it from Hot Topic.
I was unimpressed with a lot of the stores there, except for big 5 sporting goods, that was great. If only I could import firearms I would have a brand fucking new mossberg shotgun for only $200!!!!!!
I am heading down again at the end of the month, going to venture further in and maybe find a surplus store or something.

I am broken...
I stepped on a large gauge steel wire this morning, into my heel about 3/4 of an inch. Pulled that out, cant put pressure on my right heel. So walking like a gimp has put stress on my left leg, hip and foot already worn out from running this week. My right forearm has a football imprint in it, we were tossing a football around during a break on monday and instead of taking the ball to the face I chopped it with my arm. My chest/sholders/arms are sore, I added 30 pounds to my workout. My back is sore from the retarded stoolchair things I have to sit on in one of my classes.
So far my head is still intact...

It has happened... the hippies have invaded the post secondary school system....
I walked into the gym for the school orientation and the first thing I see is a circle of chairs. On those chairs, drums....
Oh no I thought... Hippie drum circle...
I smelled for the scent of granola and body odor which for so many drums should have been quite strong. No hippies to be seen or smelled.
Then it hit me... WE WERE TO BE THE HIPPIES!!!
As if on cue the Lead hippie came out with long grey hair in a pony tail and shoes obviously made in a country by adults or atleast willing children. He then motioned for us all to take up the empty chairs with the drums. I fled to the bleachers and hid behind a fat kid, figuring once he got up the bleachers he wasnt coming down anytime soon. I was safe for the moment until the grand master hippie harassed us into clapping. The first row of each set of bleachers clapped for fear he might come closer and kill them with his granola breath. Crowd mentality ensued and we were all clapping. There we were, zombies, feasting on the rhythm.
The rest of the day is kind of a haze, somehow the hippie rhythm caused me to hand over $600 for an armful of books and think it was a good deal.
You win this time hippies.

All the ammo you need + steak dinner if you will shoot gophers on my farm.
It's from an ad in a local saskatchewan newspaper.
That is the most awesome thing ever, I know what I am doing next time we visit Saskatchewan.
Free Ammo, Steak Dinner and I can shoot every gopher I see.. it's like a lottery you can win everyday.
