The Joys of EBAY...

I must admit that I absolutely love ebay. Its a really useful place to get almost anything that you can think of. Over the past year I have bought subway stamps, a t-shirt, beer labels, hockey tickets and other junk. I have also sold those hockey tickets that I bought and made a nice dollar off them. I recently bought a dvd to give to my sister for xmas and some old school American beer labels that I will use to decorate my bedroom door. American beer truly sucks but their labels are really flashy...you would think those two things would cancel each other out...haha Anyways in honor of my recent purchase, I thought that I would write a small blurb to honor ebay for making the lives of us last minute xmas shoppers so much easier. Thank you ebay!

Well I am off to the north for xmas on Saturday. Kind of ironic when you think about it. While most people go south for Christmas, I'm headed north. What a jackass! Seriously though, my folks live 3 hours north of here so I will be spending xmas up there as always. Its always great to get home. Good company, good food, cold beer...you can't ask for anything else. Anyways I will be out of town from Dec 18th-Jan 2nd then its back here to resume schooling/making money. I may post while I am home but I'm sure my time will be occupied by eating/sleeping/playing with the dog/going for walks/watching Canada kick ass in the World Juniors. Yeah...and the World Juniors are in North Dakota...what the hell is up with that! :S

I also thought that I would give a shout out to the city of Washington, DC for, just like everyone else, deciding to turn their backs on those poor (former) Montreal Expos. Why is everything about money nowadays? Man....the Expos couldn't stay in Montreal because they were not making any money. Now their move to Washington may blow up because Washington can't come up with the money to build them a new ballpark, something that was promised in the deal. What the hell happened to the days where people used to play baseball in a hay field with a 2X4 and a rock?? I want those days back!! Anyways, here is a link to a story on this. I just shook my head when I read it..http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylc=X3oDMTBpNWZic251BF9TAzI1NjY0ODI1BHNlYwN0aA--?slug=ap-expos-washington&prov=ap&type=lgns

Anyways thats it for me! (as George Costanza says...go out on a high note). Later all..

Storm of the Century

Man what a crazy storm out there tonight. Took my half an hour to make the drive home from work, a drive that usually takes me 5 minutes max. The forecast called for like 2 cm of snow but I'm sure we got 15. Oh well, at least the plough finally came to plough out our damn parking lot.....no more fishtailin around....oh wait...that sucks haha

Anyone ever see that Hitchcock movie "The Birds"? I swear it was like something out of that move at 3 am this morning. I get woken up by at least 200 crows flying into the trees outside my window....I look out and they are just sitting there cawing. It was the freakiest thing that I have ever seen.....and I've seen some freaky things in my time. Meanwhile I'm posting a link to this movie http://http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056869/. Its a great movie and you should probably watch it if you want to understand what I'm talking about....when the birds are sitting outside the school....yeah exactly like that.

I was playing guitar last night and I broke a string....it sucks. Just thought I'd toss that in there. I gotta get my guitar restrung and tuned after xmas.....its squealin like a cheap hoe on crack.

Anyways I think I'm gonna spend the rest of the night playing xbox and watching tv....since its stormin like a biatch out there can't do much else. Later peeps..

I'm BACK!

Ok that was kind of over-dramatic. Anyways yeah, haven't been around to the old blog in awhile and since blog is now an official word, figured that would give me a reason to come back....I think...? Anyways....yeah....alot has happened it the last month. Not really but a few exciting things have happened.

First, I'm done classes for the semester. I'm now working full-time for a couple of weeks until I go home for x-mas. Yahoo lots of money for me :) Going home for x-mas is great....I mean its not even about the presents anymore. Its about spending time with family, eating like crazy and all that other good stuff....I'm so pumped haha Its all about partying with your hometown friends too....you know....just hanging out. Anyways, I'm really looking forward to it.

Second, I went to the Tragically Hip concert this past weekend in Saint John and let me tell you, they were awesome! I mean I've been to a couple of Hip shows before, but this one blew my mind. I gotta say, if you've never seen the Hip in concert you got to.....even their entrance onto the stage was unbelievable. They came out from backstage and you could see their silhouettes in the backdrop. It was totally cool. Then they opened up with Vaccination Scar....unbelievable opening. Followed by two encores, first one which included New Orleans is Sinking.....what an awesome concert. We stayed at a hotel near Harbour Station too so all in all it was a pretty good time. The only thing I have to say is that the city planner who planned out the layout of Saint John can go to hell....haha I think it took us as much time to find the hotel as it did to drive from freddy to sj.

Well thats about the only crap thats happened to me in the last month. Apparently Sum 41 is playing in Saint John in February so that might be a show to see....considering I didnt get to see them when we went to Halifax. Damn rain....

I'm at work on my lunch break which is almost done so I'm out....later people.
