spontaneity.

I haven't been able to post in a while, due to my computer dying. How unfortunate, but thank goodness for warranties.

This weekend I was supposed to be going on a kayaking trip with my buddy, Erica, but unfortunately she had to cancel on me. I'm a little bummed by it or at least I was until this morning. I think I just decided to go on a road trip. Eastward bound? I think I will leave Thursday evening after work. Who knows where the night will lead me. Am I being crazy to go on a trip when I don't even know where I'm at with my finances?! Oh the joys of spontaneity.

office chatter.

Ever work in an office before?

I remember when I finished high school, I thought to myself, "Self, you are going to love the real world! No more clique's, no more gossip, no more drama!"...Boy was I wrong!

Some days are better than others, but today has been an interesting day. One of my co-workers is complaining about an ex-husband...even though they have been divorced for over seven years. Another is complaining about finances, but then buys rock band and is taking the kids out for their third fast food meal this week. The celebrity gossip queen is ranting and raving about the death of Michael Jackson. And lastly, yet another staff member has been hit by a car (don't worry, they are okay).

Everyone has something to say about everything.

Clique 1 is complaining about the ex; Clique 2 thinks the staff member that was hit by a car is an idiot for not pressing charges in the accident; Clique 3 is totally getting involved with the MJ chatter, while Clique 4 is talking about a person in Clique 3 who is going on a date with someone in Clique 1.

This office is more difficult to grasp than the TV show LOST! I wish there were some pop-ups or something.

However, I suppose I am just as bad; I am writing about all this nonsense, aren't I?

Well, my fifteen minute break is up. I should get back to work, or rather, put my music and headphones back on so I don't have to listen to this office chatter.

a few of my favourite things.

I love the smell of coffee first thing in the morning.

Last night my friends invited me over for dinner, hangouts, and a sleepover. I kindly accepted the offer. After hours of talking (and a few bottles of wine) we decided to pack it in for the night. Once in bed, I noticed I had a visitor. Their new kitten decided to use me as her mattress. She curled up on me and cuddled all night, or at least until she decided it was time for food. Than she ditched me and woke up her mom to be fed.

I got up and hopped into the shower. When I finished, I came out to a fresh pot of coffee being brewed! I enjoyed my java on the balcony in the morning sunshine, then packed my things to walk to work. Yet another favourite, going for a walk before work AND getting to rock out to some tunes while doing so.

I love singing with a huge smile on my face. Especially, when you pass by other pedestrians and traffic. Getting to see everyone's puzzled expression as they pass by makes my day. I am sure they all wonder if I am crazy, or on some bluetooth device. Its makes me happy knowing that someone probably laughed at me, than told the story to their coworkers about "this crazy guy was dancing this morning and...".

Yep, today was a great day to wake up.

just me.

For those of you who do not know me, yet, here's a history lesson for you.

Please note, my "writing" is not well written. I blame it on the fact that when I write, I do it as if I am talking; which is also messy. If you do not like this style, then feel free to read something else. I am not very knowledgeable, so you will see a lot of repetitive words and/or made up words. For my ignorance, I apologize.

I write to ramble. Life, death, friends, and who knows what. I may add in some extra things with stories by friends or interesting facts throughout the blog. For example, DID YOU KNOW: that the dot over the “i” is called a tittle. I love useless bits of information, because they are the things that save your ass in final jeopardy...But, I digress...about me:

I'm not your average twenty something year old guy.

My mother is incredible. She has raised my brother and I; not to toot my own horn, but I think she has done a great job. My dad has a second and a third family. We all keep in touch and see each other from time to time. Recently, I have stopped trying so hard to make our relationship work. Our relationship is very Cat's in the Cradle by Harry Chapin. I have a younger brother, an older half-sister (that I have not met...yet), an older step brother, and two older step sisters. My life has consisted of a lot of women, so naturally I grew up thinking that the male race was something to dislike. With age, I have realized that the whole human race is crazy.

Life is crazy. I have lost touch with some friends, but have made new ones along the way. I am very creative, but don't do nearly enough creative things anymore. I have lived with a variety of people in a variety of homes. I have had some pretty special relationships, and have lost a lot of important ones; and I don’t mean misplacing them.

That's most of my past in a generalized nutshell. I’m sure I'll have more explaining to do, but for now I suppose, that's good enough. So there it is. just me.
