On our way home from Orpheus, my dad and I almost ran over a pidgeon. Stupid thing was walking across the road... literally walking. But I think if we had hit him we would have been "at fault", because he at least was staying inside the white lines :) It was actually kinda cute. | | Wednesday, August 31st, 2005 | | 10:07 pm |
God, I need to find a job!! I am done working with the city, but now i need to find something else. Unemployment sucks. Anyone with any ideas, feel free to pass them along :) Thanks! | | Friday, August 12th, 2005 | | 6:45 pm |
Eye Opening...
Homophobia and You: I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian. I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman. I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights. We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time. I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room. I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me. I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again. I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear. We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men. I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me. I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman. I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman. I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male. I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men. I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that. I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual. I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me. I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind. I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love. I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male. Re-post this if you believe homophobia is wrong. Please do your part to end it. | | Saturday, December 25th, 2004 | | 3:16 am |
Just want to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a very HAPPY NEW YEARS. Best wishes to all!! | | Saturday, December 4th, 2004 | | 12:34 am |
Curling
Wow, tonight was amazing! Ok, so we only have a 3-3 record and we are in like 9th place or some fuckin thing. Tonight I was playing skip and I played amazingly, we won the game, and I made some of the best shots Ive made in a long time, it was rediculous how well I was playing. I think that the pressure of being skip really makes me play well, it has been a while since Ive played skip, and I miss that pressure and the fact that if you miss your shots, you give the end to the other team. Can't wait to play that way again! Maybe tomorrow morning :) gnite | | Sunday, November 14th, 2004 | | 1:32 am |
stuff...
Is it just me or is anyone else rediculously busy these days with school/ I have 4 term papers coming up that are all due the week of the 22nd-26th... and I havent started one of them yey!! I have done some research, but that is nothing. I have one due on the socialization of children I have one due on a minority groups relations with a majority group (I'm thinking homosexuality vs. hetereosexualitly) I have one due on Vampirism, which will hopefully be more interesting than I expect it to be. And finally I hav one that I think I will be doing on single parent families, and the difference in expectations of boys vs. girls. Plus, I have a few small position papers that are not gonna be easy, but should be small at least.. Then, if that wasnt enough, I have to apply to teachers college and have everthing in my the 1st of Dec. I am starting to think that taking a year off would be to me advantage before applying... hey, at least they'd look at my marks from this year..... Oh well, I'll have to see :) | | 1:22 am |
Curling
I know that my only posts lately have been about curing, but I dont give a shit! I am just trying to keep track of things. Fridat night we lost in the last shot of the game, which is a bitch and a half, to my dad's team nonetheless. Friday nights 1-2 Saturday morning we had a good game, and the end result was a tie (Kiss that sister), so now we are 2-0-1. We are in third place now on Saturaft norning but because the point alotment is so small, it doesnt make a difference this early in the season. So there's still hope. I have been playing really well lately myself, but this weekend i wasnt exactly on my game, even though today i got a lot of my shots back.... hope that I can keep that up. Till next week... for anyone who cares :) | | Saturday, November 6th, 2004 | | 8:14 pm |
Curling
So second week, lost on Friday night (1-1), won on Saturday morning (2-0), but the game last saturday morning was just a practice, so basically in that league, (1-0). 2-1 in total I guess. | | Tuesday, November 2nd, 2004 | | 10:33 pm |
YAY!
Gotta love freaking out completly about your midterm cause you think you're doomed, and then getting it back to realize you have got an A+!! Now just have to wait to get my other midterm back, hope i did well on that one too. So far even though this semester isnt really enjoyable, I'm doing pretty well, I have nothing lower than a B+ in any classes. | | Saturday, October 30th, 2004 | | 12:51 pm |
Let the season commence...
So friday i started curling again, which I was looking forward to. My Friday night and my Saturday morning teams look promising, and hopefully we can do well this season. Friday night we won. Saturday morning we won. I played very well personally. 2-0 record so far, so my season's gotten off to a great start! | | Saturday, July 17th, 2004 | | 4:25 pm |

Work, School and Shit
Work has been going well recently, so far has been a good semester for both school and work. I applied to become director at my afternoon program, as i have been there forever, and it just made sense, but they have to do interviews. So far there is only me and one other guy that I know of applying, and i really do want this position. If he did end up getting it, I would probably be able to deal with it, because this guy is older than me, more senior, and he IS good at the job. I wouldnt have a problem working for him. But still, I would like to do it myself. My school semester, as most of ours is coming to an end soon. This has been a pretty good semester. I wanted to make sure i got no lower than a B in any of my couses this semester (final grade), and so far that is still possible... but stay tuned. Let's just hope. Other than that, I have just been trying to relax, and go out... try to enjoy life. I went to see Riverdance at the NAC on Sunday night with Jenn and Jeff. I had a great time. At first, even though I assumed that I would enjoy it enough, I didn't know what to expect from the show. I had seen the previous two in the season that we bought (Jesus Christ Superstar, and Miss Saigon) which were both shows that have always liked anyway, but Riverdance is different. I ended up really enjoying the show! The energy was amazing, the music tremendous. I would recommend it, and i cant wait till next season (although we dont know what shows are coming yet). My Psychology of Religion class is on of the most interesting ones I have ever taken. But i will say, Freud and Jung have some more than interesting (and strange) ideas about religion. Christmas is coming, I am looking forward to it, although something tells me that this year things are not going to be the same as they have been in years past. I'll have to see. I need to save up enough money to pay for my tuition... i HATE debt! My cousins school (St. Petes) is doing the musical version of Les Mis. I dont know whether to get excited or jealous. I also dont see how in the blue hell they are going to pull a show of that magnitude off. I doubt St. Matts could have done it, and I dont know how they will either. But either way, I will still go to see it. Anyway, I just thought that I would post an update on a bunch of crap since I NEVER do anymore. Till later, | | 9:14 pm |
Curling
Friday night league: 0-3 Its time for us to pick up our fucking socks, what the hell is wrong with us! Saturday morning league: 3-0 Thats all well and good, but the problem is that you only get two points for a win, and one point for every end (in this league anyway), so point wise, we ended up tying! God damn it. | | Saturday, November 8th, 2003 | | 4:26 pm |
Curling is back!
It has been a horendously long time since i posted in this thing. A lot has been happening in my life. But i would be writing a book in order to go through everything, so I figure i will just NOT do that! Curling season started up again on Halloween night. I am having fun so far, and both leagues are turning out quite differently so far. Friday night league: we are 0-2 to start the season. Saturday morning league: we are 2-0 so far, but the first game was a practice game, so it is more like 1-0 instead. That is how my season has started. Now, I know that there is a great possibility that none of you give a shit, but since this is my journal, I am gonna post updates every now and then about curling, even just to keep myself up to date. Oh well, I may even post some other entries too. But for now, that is it | | Saturday, September 13th, 2003 | | 7:02 pm |
HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY MEL AND JAY!! SEE YOU GUYS TONIGHT! | | Saturday, August 23rd, 2003 | | 4:05 pm |
After the blackout that we all had to endure, I bet that that lady on the energy conservation commercial must be feeling like a complete failure these days! | | Friday, July 25th, 2003 | | 9:19 pm |

Je ne care pas... or something like that
That is just something i said to some of the french kids at work, and it just stuck in my head. They thought it was quite funny. Well, the first 3 weeks of camp went by pretty harmlessly, the only one of the weeks that I didnt really enjoy was the 3rd, the group we had totally sucked. The first two weeks I had a great time. Finally, the computer camps end. This week I wasnt really looking forward to either, since I have never enjoyed working Animal Adventures. It is normally a huge waste of a camp, and I have always hated the little whining kids that we had. This week has been completly different. We have an amazing group this week, with some of the coolest kids I've had in a long time. Again, like all camps it will end tomorrow, but at least it wont leave a bad taste in my mouth for Animal Adventures... at least until I have to do it again. I am really looking forward to next week, the week that I have anticipated the most all summer. Since one of the groups camp was cancelled, there has been some shifting of roles, shifts being cut and such. I was freaking out cause i didnt want to lose any for this week (afterwards, I could really care less I suppose). We got our shifts for next week today, and I am working every day with the camp that I was anticipating. I was thrilled, it is gonna be a great week. I do however feel really bad for some of the other staff members who have been totally shafted. I know how it feels. It has happened to me in previous summers. Some of them are quite upset, and with due cause. The ORC pool makes me really tired. I just thought I would throw that in. One more day of camp and then the weekend: Wrestling Pay Per View BBQ at uncles on sunday Pirates of the Carribean hopefully. OAK!! OUT | | Friday, June 27th, 2003 | | 8:43 pm |
So yeah..
Well, my chinese symbol is ICE And I am Gay Care Bear, everyone may now go and figure that one out... Past three days have gone by in a flash... unfortunatly. The last day of school was quite nice, the program went quite well. The PD days were a blast. I was given a lot of responsibility, since there was a problem with staffing and the director never showed on Thursday. It was great though, they were so appreciative of my efforts. The whole staff helped a lot though, we worked well together. Also, aside from some really annoying kids, the group that we had was great. I got to see some of my favourite kids that I have had ever, and it was really nice to see them after a year. I have gotten to know their father really well over the past year too, I see him all the time at the OAK. I will miss having them around, as they wont be at my camps this summer. Ah well, what you gonna do? I have a pretty good weekend lined up. Tonight, gonna go out for a while, tomorrow night probably the same. I need to wind down after a tiring and fun couple days. Sunday, I am going to see Jesus Christ Superstar at the NAC, one of my fav musicals, so that should be a blast! Then after that, its back to summer camp. While I think the lineup of camps I recieved this year blows bulls, I am looking forward to hopefully another exciting, fun summer. And now, let the weekend begin |
