02:45 am - CRACK HEADS!! I can't believe how disgusting people are in smaller towns when it comes to drugs. I am staying in staff accomodations in a FOUR STAR hotel, which are absolutely amazing... However, I've had two roomates now in which i've come home to them smoking CRACK with some strange hooker. My coffee table is full of coke remains, pen caps and ashes. Not to mention the smell is absolutely atrocious! The fact that this has happened TWICE now, is just insane. Both of them are cooks. The first guy has since been fired, and my new roomate got send HOME tonight for being a complete space case in the kitchen. He apparently started twitching while he was trying to cook and went into a trance. He was putting out plates that were just HORRIBLE looking and threatening the wait staff because of sent back orders. I've been moved into a guest room for the next few nights. WOoo Hoo! They are kicking him off the property tomorrow. Thank the lord. Hopefully this'll be my last move, as I am moving BACK into the original staff apartment next week with two new guys who just started. I swear to god, the next fucker I see bring crack into my living space is going to get knocked the fuck right out. Mark my words. I'm gonna go Tyson on his ass! I'm no stranger to the party life. HOWEVER, everyone deserves a second chance. I just don't want to be around it anymore. I've NEVER smoked crack, and nor would I EVER think of it. Its the most disgusting thing ever. I've never been around it either. Just looking into his eyes last night was enough to want to stay far, far away. He looked completely alien like. A zombie. MIndless, Heartless...just fucking LOOPED.... The fact is; You're living where you work. This IS NOT YOUR HOME. Don't bring your nasty habbits with you. They don't belong. Man, NOTHING is easy with me. ITs always DRAMA. Just when I think things are going smoothly, the Soap Opera Starts again! Current Mood: angry Current Music: Proton Radio

04:43 am - The Lost Soul. The Found Spirit. Its been over one year ago today since I've posted on this thingy, and my last post wasnt a nice one! However, that same person I was being cross with, has reminded me to maybe update, and let everyone know whats happening with my crazy ass. So, i believe last I was in Vancouver, working at gay bar. Well, that job was short lived and I soon found my way into the Adult Entertainment industry. As much as most of you would like to believe i was 'Strippin', I was FAR from that. I got a gig managing a strip club. Well, maybe not as far off from stripping as I would like it to be, but it was quite the adventure! The money was amazing. I had a great time mingling with the wanna be rock stars, Hells Angels, ex KGB's, but enough was enough. The drugs, money, sex and rock n roll was overwhelming and I just had to stop. I fell into a pit of depression which most of you know I am no stranger of. I couldnt see myself doing that for the rest of my life, and 7 months being at a strip club from 10am-1am was just killing me. Literally. I was losing weight rapidly from not eating, and too much cocaine. I got down to a measly 165lbs, which is sickly. Needless to say, I got smart and I hightailed it out of there. FAST FFWD. I moved back to Windsor, got myself cleaned up and working back in a normal nightclub bartending. It was great, but still really unfulfilling. I had a great summer, I met a wonderful girl named Jordan. We spent the entire summer together going places, and having a great time. I stayed sober ALL summer. Except for the copius amount of alcohol I was consuming! I joined a few sport leagues. Beach Volleyball, and Softball. What a blast! I was faced once again with a decision of moving to Italy, and seeing europe. It sounds like SUCH an amazing idea, but I what after that? I've still to go to Post secondary and get some kind of degree that requires you to be ANYTHING in this world. So, once again i decided to go somewhere for work. FAST FFWD. Here I am. In Ft. McMurray ALBERTA! 5 Friggin hours NORTH of EDmonton. For those of you aware of your Canadian Geography, we're qualified up here to see the Northern LIghts. Thats right folks, THE AURORA BOREALIS! The things you're teacher told you only was visible in the great white north. Well, thats true. I'm in the great white north. ITS FREAKING SNOWING HERE IN OCTOBER!! I landed a job as an auditor at Radisson Hotel & Suites. Its a great job. I am completely under qualified for the job (story of my life!) but I am learning a great deal and this is going to look spectacular on the resume! I've been here all of 2 months and want to go home. Jordan is still there. Waiting for me to get back. Bless her heart. I love her to peices and I believe I am going to be spending the rest of my life with her. Its bliss I tell you. BLISS! I am making some killer money here. This place has more jobs available than people willing to work. A little lesson on Ft. McMurray. This is the place where the Canadian Oil sands are. Suncor, Syncrude, CNRL. Those are the three manufacturers that are producing the crude and bringing in BILLIONS of dollars of Canadian Revenue. They estimate another 100 years of oil is on these sites and its produced a BOOM town. This towns realestate has doubled in 3 years. A trailor goes for 300,000$! I kid you not. This is the ONLY place where the middle class live in Trailors. They pay people to work at Burger King 14$/h. Gas stations, restaurants, etc. are all paying signing bonuses. Its INSANE. The weirdest town i've ever lived in. Anyway. I hope you're all doing just find and dandy and I will be returning to Ontario before Christmas! ta ta for now.

06:33 pm - .............i wanna laugh and cry at the same time. I got a job in a gay bar. In the Gay village of Vancouver. Called "CELEBRITIES"..apparently Britney Spears was there recently....its a busy place...very upscale. Apparently really good money. Problem is, all bartenders have to serve first. ME? A WAITER?....A "COCK"TAIL water, nonetheless...oh boy. I dont know how to feel about this. Money vs. Pride (no pun intended). BC rocks. Its had its ups...and its downs as I expected. I am homesick as hell. Ive never experienced homesickness before. I've also never been 2500kms away from anyone i know before either. My life is one big adjustment period after another. I really like it here, I would hate to ever have to leave not on my own terms... Hope y'all are doing well. cheersche. Current Mood: grateful Current Music: Crave - Jason Moore

06:25 pm - Well looky Who It Is..... I know i havent updated in a REALLY, REALLY long time, but to be honest with you I just havent had THAT much to say. Although life in the Big Stink isnt THAT bad, its boring enough to not have anything to say about it. Then Why is he updating, you say? Well, i got the FUNK out of Windsor and headed to Montreal for MUTEK. ITs an electronic music festival that lasted all week..... I have TONS and TONS of pictures.. I am going to spend the next little while to figure out how to post them on here.... So, lets see... ITs 6:28pm now (Friday).. Lets see how long its takes me... . . . . . . . . . Well, I didnt figure it out. Actually, its now 6:29 and i've decided to just fuck it and find one of them Photo-onliney-sharing-thinger-mabobs.... i found one.. But I think its going to take a while for them to all upload.. So, I leave this update as a reminder of more to come... Stay tuned people! Oh btw... I hope everyone is doing well! I miss you all...

03:42 am - Finally....An update from the W.DOT. Here I am, sitting at the computer at 3:44am....with nothing to do. I was just about to go to bed when I started thinking about you guys and gals.. As well as things are going here, I still miss Toronto. I miss the smell, the cars, the crowded subways. I miss walking down the street and being harassed by bums every second block for some change, or how about a cigarette? LOL. Every morning (or afternoon) i wake up and think of something productive to do. So far, i've been tanning almost every day i've been here. That takes 10 mins. Ok, so what else? I've contemplated running... That never happens. So, tomorrow i've decided to go and get my ass a gym membership. I figure, if i'm spending money on it, i will probably use it. I went and saw the Passion of Christ today. Very well directed, great interpretation (if you want to call it that, I grew up being told that EXACT freakin story..). ALl in all it was a good 2 hours spent. Its an important issue (with the Catholics) and Mel Gibson at his finest! I mean, what more can you ask for *rolleyes*. What else? Lets see.. I scored my ass a bartending job to help me ease into a social life and meet some new people WHO DONT HAVE FUCKING BABIES. Its going really well. Making some good money and meeting some really awesome people. Back onto the babies thing. What the hell is it with these fucking towns and people having babies? Im pro choice, I dont care if you think that's wrong...BUt god damn it...If you are a baby, YOU SHOULDNT BE HAVING A BABY. PLain and Simple. I dont care if you're 20. BITCH YOU DONT HAVE A JOB, OR A HUSBAND orrrrr A family that even cares about you, what in the HELL are you doing having kids. So many of my friends have kids.. And still snorting coke in oposite rooms. ITs sick, it makes me sick because these people are unfit to have children, yet they see NOTHING wrong with it. Saturday was my first REAL night bartending in a busy place. It was pretty cool, my cash out was $12 over on a 2400 sale night.. (which is amazing, btw).... I saw someone get a beer bottle cracked open on their head, that was cool. Um, what else? OH YAH! They have $2.50 Chicken Shawarmas!!!! fucking Incredible! I got 2 of them mofos. Living at HOME again really sucks. I mean, with having a "dinner time" and people asking me where I am going all the time and what time I will be homee...I am just not use to it. There is an upside to all of this. Me and my father are getting along FINALLY, i've been here what, 3 weeks now? And we fought for the first 2. Now, we have come to an agreement. We areboth adult...Both equally as stuborn and both equally likely to get on eachothers nerves. Another upside, is I get to spend time with my half brother. That's pretty cool..... Anyway, Im off to shleepies. I gotta get up in the morning (hopefully) and get some shit done! I MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON! (maybe in the next week or so ;)) Current Mood: contemplative Current Music: Armin Van Buuren - A State of Trance.
