Heelys

So i've been busy again, watching way too much TV, finished 24 hours of 24 in one week :) the new season rocks!!! been playing with my heelys they ain't as easy as they look, luckily I haven't killed myself or bailed too badly yet... a few close calls tho...

Work is going well, wrapping up another short stint and looking for a new one, trying to decide what my next step is... life is a little too complicated sometimes.... where's a magic 8 ball when you need one.

Spent last Sat with kids all day, it was quite the experience, tiring, but very rewarding, the morning started off with a group of Grade 9 Kids, followed by an evening with 3 adorable little girls 10, 6, and 3 and then capped off with a 'camping trip' with a 3 year old... what a day! I'm not sure how parents get the strength and energy, but I'm amazed at what all of you are able to accomplish on a daily basis.

Got a poker game coming up on Saturday, looks like 12 people so far, should be good times I hope, lets just hope I win ;)

that's about it, hope y'all are doing good out there and that your new year is off to a good start... I have updated the picture galleries and will be putting some more out there by the end of the week (got a bit of spare time while I wait for more server accessories)

Another Sad Story

People really have to stop doing this kind of crap.

It hits home even more, because I've been here, and walked on this beach

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

sorry, it's been while since my last update, been busy with lots of stuff...

I finished my course, passed and wrote the exam a week and a bit later, I'm now officially a Vmware Certified Professional (VCP) which is great, can't wait to make use of the skills.

Benn playing with my server at home, ordered a drive array for it which comes in soon!! I'll be torn between that and the pair of heelys that are in the mail :)

Played with the new Sony wireless home theatre system (not really wireless, but good)

Ate heaps of turkey and xmas food over the holiday, must have gained a few pounds no less, but got to work it off last night at the Whiskey for their New Years Eve bash, it was quite a good time, tons of fun, and actually one of the most pleasant New Years Eve's I've had in a very very long time... my friend lost her brand new phone which really sucked, and we had street pizza to end off the night..mmmmm...beef and mushroom. hehe had some random chic at the bar tell a guy I was her boyfriend and we traded hey boyfriend hey girlfriend greetings at each other the whole night...classic.. danced up a storm, and got to watch Calgary beat Edmonton in the hockey game on the big screen,.... I can truly say I've never danced while staring at a hockey game on a projector in a suit before..lol

and then the best part of the whole night!! came home, got ready for bed, then came downstairs and watched 4 hours straight of my favorite show 24 it was awesome, I was quite excited and by about 8am was ready to pass out, and I did. It's 3pm now and I'm gonna get off the couch, have some brekky and get back to 24... only 20 hours to go !!!

hope you all had an awesome new years eve, and that you all have a wonderful, prosperous, and happy 2006!!!
