Today while on break a suspicious person tried to get me to let him in one of our doors at work to "promote a new spa, give away some free pampering to some ladies" after about three times of telling him to go to the main entrance and inquire about having a memo posted about it, he finally accepted that unauthorized personnel are not allowed inside. About 10 minutes after break, the power went out, during the 20 seconds before it came back on, I was sure it was a terror incident. It appears it was just lightening related though.
Other then that stuff and spending time with Kelly, and catching up on sleep, I have not done much, things should pick up though now that the week is nearing end and a very busy few days of festivities are approaching.

He's Got All The Pizza
Last night I went to Kelly's dance recital, which featured one kid just standing picking her nose for most of the dances. Thankfully it wasn't Kelly.
It was finally a decent populated night out, as it appeared most of the city was at the OH. Kelly, Vanessa and myself walked from here, avoiding fireworks that were being shot off in the downtown, I had a brief conversation with Cst. Daigle, we stopped in the Sobeys parking lot for a moment to speak with someone, then there was a Malcom M. sighting in the Irving parking lot, which it has taken me a few days to put together it was him.
Once inside the OH, it was initially very empty, but once they turned down the lights and played love hurts in memory of last weeks Nazareth concert it filled up and was extremely full by the end of the night.
Memorable moments include the conservative party local representative's daughter providing free shots all night, tshirts and left over light up things from the Nazareth concert the week before. I'm pretty sure that providing alcohol to voters to sway their vote is illegal, but maybe just at the polling stations.
Eric F. was noted pushing 5, (five) empty beer bottles off the ledge in scruples, oddly nothing was said or done about it, most likely because he would have beat the fuck out of anyone who tried. Some how he was calmed down and no one was a casualty, although there were a few tense moments.
James H. made a comment about a large girl that she, "just needs to have her other hole fed."
A few people got in the fire truck on the third floor, oddly again nothing was done about it.
I went to the bathroom, waited for the stall to become empty( I don't use the urinals in case Billy M should show up) A person we all went to high school with who was in Vettel's graduating class came out of the stall, said to me, "don't go in there right away okay" I said okay thinking he made a mess and shit all over the place or something and said I would wait 30 seconds, he made me promise, however I would have went right in to see what the fuss was about. He ended up not going far as a friend appeared, they went in the stall. A few seconds later they were done. When I went in, half their cocaine was spilt on the floor. I enjoy getting asked not to use a stall because someone is too lazy to put their coke away for a few seconds.
Kelly contemplated pouring a drink on a few people, it appears she enjoys doing this every time we are out, this time however it had nothing to do with me.
What I enjoy about the OH. compared to other clubs is there is very little noise music, it is mainly party favorites, and its like a celebrity outing because everyone knows everyone. I even saw the guy who kept me from choking at Greco on donair wrapping years ago.
We ducked out about 10 minutes early, a brief conversation took place with cst. cooke, then we went to pizza twice. This was probably the funniest part of the night, as nipples for pizza was negotiated by someone, however the idea didn't fly.
Kelly ordered probably the largest possible order, two pizzas and garlic fingers and pop. Once it was ready we were standing outside waiting for a taxi, roughly everyone who walked by made some comment about the 3 boxes of pizza I was holding. No matter where I turned I could hear, "he's got all the pizza."
Prior to leaving there I had a short conversation with Shawn D. who walked home with a girl up Radio St. Moments later a guy came along mumbling Shawns name, went into pizza twice, had a look around, came out and wandered across the street and up Radio like he was a dog tracking him or something.
The taxi took too long, so we gave up and walked home, it seemed to take forever, once home, the food was very good.
Tomorrow it is back to work. It appears its a very busy time here, with Canada Days and the Rock and Roll Weekend approaching.

bloc quebecois eat babies
As Kelly mentioned in her latest entry, Wednesday nights outing turned from a non alcohol night to myself finishing off the rest of my prince igor here, then having a couple of rum and colas at the OH. It was a pretty straight forward night, the usual "who are these people and where do they come from" Wednesday night type of crowd, with some more familiar faces like Kenny M. and Eric and Mark F.
I enjoyed watching their antics for a few moments, we sat with James H. and some others for a bit and left early. Then it turned to be anything but a normal night out on the walk home as the drinks hit Kelly unusually hard and a few weeds were thrown at me for no reason.
When having my lunch today I was watching a Paul Martin news conference, I got to it just as Lisa Lafeme from CTV said the words, "bloc quebecious eat babies" at the end of her question, I'm assuming she was asking if Martin thought they did, as everyone else does. Laughter broke out, and I enjoyed the rest of the news conference, and Martin had a good answer to her original question and followed it up with, "and that is probably why they eat things like ice cream."
I'm surprised Harper's not in the COR party. Voting for NDP or Green is just like voting for the Marijuana party, your throwing your vote away, put it to good use and vote liberal even if you don't like your local member. All the shit people say about the liberals is just that, shit. It's pretty easy to point out a bunch of flaws and ill doings, when they are the only ones who have been in power for years, it would have been the same shit no matter who was leading the country, although in my opinion it would have been handled a lot worse.
Today the Mustang underwent major service. 6 hours and $600 later, I was informed that the car is still in top notch shape, with only a hint of rust on a brake rotor, and on the u joint. It now has all new filters, new plugs, had the rear end taken apart and re lubed, transmission service, and about 12 other things done for its 100,000km service. It now accelerates and brakes like it did the first year of driving it.

What's My Age Again
I will start off by saying that I had a viewer the other day who got to this page by searching google for the phrase, "miramichi girl video"
An interesting topic was brought up on a Third Watch episode the other day. Sully said something that I often think about and is one of my fears, it was along the lines of, "Its like I went to work one day and I came home, went to bed, got up and 25 years were gone. I blew it. Back then I thought by now in my life I'd have a house, kids, so many things I would have done. I blew it and I never even knew I was in the game."
It got me to thinking of how fast time has gone by in my own life, and I guess its the same for everyone. To me its like I woke up and went to high school one day, we made bumper cars in envio sci. class out of card board boxes when we were suppose to be doing a school recycling project but our teacher was at the office dealing with someone who came to school drinking, Kenny said Bootfuck a few hundred times, I did 20 laps around the upstairs with Vettel during lunch playing various games he created, Brian slammed his books shut after answering a question wrong in Mr. wayes class and turned to reading perfect 10 the rest of the afternoon, I came home, went to bed, got up and here I'm 5 years later. I've done a lot in the years since high school, and I have sat around a lot as well, it was a good balance. I don't regret any of it and wouldn't change any of it, but shit it has gone by fast and there were a few things I thought I would have done and experienced in those years but haven't. I guess the moral is, life doesn't wait for you, every day is valuable, and if you keep putting things off it eventually catches up with you.
I can imagine what my mid life crisis will be like, I hope I buy a Porsche and the BHT.
Today I woke up and had 3 hot dogs with everything on them, then my next meal was a big mac meal courtesy of Kelly. I suggest no one ever have hot dogs for breakfast/lunch and a big mac for supper, I feel like my heart may give out at any moment.
Lately I've been deprived of sleep, my sister and brother in law and nephew are staying here while their house is being renovated. My sister and nephew have to be the noisest people in the world and create large messes. It can be 12am and they will yell out to each other if they are in separate rooms and the rest of us are sleeping. The bathroom, I couldn't even see the floor of it today after my sister dumped all her shit she uses for a shower out on the floor. I think doctors use less items to perform surgery.
The most exciting part of today was seeing Marv driving with passing out Weldon. I was tempted to follow them, to see if they have a secret club or something.
Only 4 more days until I return to work.
Tonight may feature a non alcoholic OH trip with Kelly, and Chris.

You Must Be Graduating!
Today I'm struggling to hold on to consciousness after only about 2 hours of sleep.
Last night had many highlights, some of my favorites include;
- Arriving at the OH to find the Dawsons playing pool with cmac and trying to converse with Vettel and Snaggle.
- An earing wearing guy was talking to Vettel for a bit, although he appeared straight, something was definitely up with him. He claimed to work at the prison, but didn't really know the official name and advised me they were hiring, when in fact they aren't, they just finished a hiring drive a month ago. He also talked of smoking hash, weed and cigarettes and enjoyed talking about pool sharks. My bet is that he was not a worker at the prison but one of the inmates on a free "drinking weekend" or he escaped.
- I was over charged for a double rum and cola, I thought it was odd but after living in Moncton and paying ridiculous prices for drinks there, I let it go. My next trip to the bar I was advised that I had been overcharged, apologies were given, and a free double rum and cola.
- Rubens Barrichello was on hand and intoxicated. I'm about 70% sure it was him. The guy looked exactly like him and Rubens is in North America for the F1 events last weekend and this weekend, so I will forever pretend it was actually him. He was with 2 women most of the night, dancing, and jumping in and out of the cage and swinging off of it. I tried to obtain some photos of him doing so to send into a tabloid, but the lighting would not permit it. A close up photo op with him was hoped for, but we left early and didn't cross paths with him.
- On the walk home with Kelly and Andrew, Andrew found an item, which I won't name. A little further down the street we discovered a grad cap(probably from the same owner of the other item), Andrew put it on over his hat and wore it the rest of the way home.
- Once home, I tried making them peanut butter and toast, however the peanut butter was fucked. Kelly was in the mood for pizza, and I was too awake to rest, so Andrew and I set out to pizza twice. 37 seconds into it, Andrew decided he must take his shoes off as they were causing issues. He walked the rest of the way with none on, and on the road itself as it was less rough. Only one car passed by slowly observing him wearing a grad cap over his hat, carrying his shoes, walking in the road. Pizza Twice was closed so we went to subway where I held up the line waiting for Kelly's text message order. I had to call her as it didn't arrive to me fast enough and relay the order instructions over the phone. Andrew got a free cookie.
- There was a brief meet and greet with M. Russell and others who appeared to be using the "hold your finger in the air and see which way the wind is blowing and that is the direction we will walk in to find a party" method.
- We walked back to my place through downtown, stopping off infront of the OH for a moment to talk to Jeremy and others, and everyone tried to take the grad cap.
- By the Royal Bank, we were solicited by a prostitute, on a bike. She made the comment, "You must be graduating" She then got on the bike and came up behind us and circled around and said something, but it was not audible as she was slurring pretty bad.
This morning my cat woke me up twice, as well as a crow and 4 other birds, between the hours of 4 and 6am. And I can't forget Kelly's pulling my one blanket off me, saying she was cold, and arguing with me over it in her sleep, while she had a large, oversized comforter right beside her.
Today included a trip to ritchie wharf where there was about an hour of conversation about various adult related sites and other related issues with Cmac. It always amazes me how someone can say one line from a video or a single scene description and everyone knows what video it is and has seen it. About 20 minutes were spent with a hornet situation, which was eventually taken care of by the security guard. Tom's has the best fries I have ever eaten in my life. The burgers are shit.

Random Numbers
Weekend Recap:
Thursday BHT visit Highlights;
- Top secret stories from Jimmy M.
- Ryan T. admitted to a well known true rumor about a one armed girl and also told a good Perley T. story, and harassed the people he was with rather well.
Friday BHT/OH JeramboFest/BHT Draft Challenge Highlights;
- Prior to going, Kelly, Vanessa and myself drank here. While they played with their cell phones for about 20 minutes I consumed half a pint of Absolut. I then took girlie down the street to do her business, recreating the episode of the Osbornes where Ozzy takes his dog for a walk while he was half in the bag.
- At the BHT the sub bartender had to go get me ice for my double rum and cola, oddly he didn't go into the large freezer for it, but went out the side door, and appeared a few minutes later with some in a bucket. I don't want to know where he obtained it.
I believe it was mostly a classic normal BHT outing with non stop laughter and many inside jokes. It was learned Craig is also a Platinum Blonde fan. Andrew and I played a best of 3 pool challenge, for those that are not aware, we play very well while intoxicated. It was a close match, with him coming out the victor. During the first game Craig put some money in the jukebox and "just pushed random numbers" It ended up being a very good selection of music from 3eb, marcy playground and even magic bus by the who. It was at the end of the game we learned of Snaggle's having to be rushed home sick.
- Kelly, her friends and I went to the OH where the only people I knew there were those of us who had been at the BHT. It was a shitty crowd. My first stop was to use the bathroom but there was puke all over the place, and I mean all over the place like in a maxhardcore video, so I had to go elsewhere. Other then that it was pretty quiet, Kelly danced with her friends and I wandered around with people. I recall Matthew S. and Jerambo spilling most of a grog on the bar, and in the chaos I wasn't asked/forgot to pay for my drink.
- Kelly and I exited to subway around 1:30 and some of the BHT participants were already there. I was appointed Jimmy M's new best friend, Cst. Cooke came in and ordered some food and get harrased, then Kelly and I walked to my place.
Saturday I was picked up by Andrew and Snaggle, we went to Turnbulls where he told a few good stories, then later in the night we headed to the races. For 5 years now they have been saying "we expect more cars next week" There were only 2 hobbystock cars, 4 sportsman, and maybe 8 of the new 4 cylinder class. The modifieds were too slow for my liking, and the feature for them was a classic yellow after yellow with long delays realigning the cars. I now recall why I stopped going there years ago. It's a shame that the competition and management is shit, as its a great track.

Sea Shanties and Wet Panties
Kelly and I rented Club Dread last night. I saw it advertised, but didn't know what it was about. Thankfully it turned out to be a very good movie. With lots of dirty proverb type references, and an 80's, early 90's adventure comedy style to it. It also passed the suspense/scare test, as Kelly jumped a couple of times during some of the murder chase scenes. Here's a good review of the movie. They sum it up well by saying, "The film itself is an interesting hybrid of the 80's slasher movie, the 80's teen sex movie, and the Broken Lizard sense of humor. Broken Lizard being the same creators of Super Troopers, which I have not yet seen, but may after enjoying this movie.
Today I woke up to watch some more Third Watch first season, eat a lot of food and then go pick up my cell phone which was just fixed as it was programmed incorrectly. On my way out, I splashed the strikers a bit. It was my good deed for the day.
I went to the liquor store after that, I enjoy the "Is he old enough stare down" some of the employees there use. Just ask for ID and do some math.
Jeremy's scan of the BHT review, I wonder if they knew pizza was served if they would have put it on the "Best Places to Eat In Canada List" with the Cunard.
Andrew's comments about finding porn. I only recall finding porn once when I was younger, it was while walking home from elementary school. I took a different route that day for the first time. It just happened to be garbage collection day. It was like a golden nugget shining on top of a few boxes on the curb full of garbage. I walked that route home every garbage day after in hopes of finding more, but never did. Thankfully the internet came to be, or I would still be walking in my old neighborhood on garbage days trying to have another treasure chest find.

Nothing interesting has occurred in the last few days, not even during a trip to Sobeys in dtown last night which usually has something funny occur, or something in the store pisses me off. Like boxes all over the isles, or the one item I'm looking for is one of the few items that is out of stock, and probably in the boxes that are lying on the floor waiting to be restocked.
Tomorrow the city empties out to protest about the rumored hospital cuts. I haven't seen this kind of community togetherness since the eve of the great liquor nb strike in the 90's. I can recall a line up out of the pleasant st. location all the way to jane street, and a person who will remain nameless who lives 2 houses down from me, taking a bat with him to fight to the head of the line to make sure he got his fix for the night before they closed. We thought he beat someone with it, as an ambulance showed up and took someone away, however it was just a pregnant woman who rumor had it, got beat up by someone because she snuck ahead in the line, but I think she just went into labor. I always enjoy a good childhood flashback.
Its time to go do something.

Shit, Look At The Old Toilet
I was woken up by the title phrase yesterday morning by the plumbers helper who will rename anonymous, but most know him for his jumping the Newcastle Blvd train tracks once.
Finally after a year, the upstairs bathroom is now once again fully functional, with new toilet and sink. I will be having the ceremonial first use later tonight.
Today featured a trip to Beresford and back.
Right now I'm off to Jingle Janes, or Jungle Jims or whatever you want to call it, for some supper with Kelly. I'm not sure what will occur after that, possibly some absolut consumption.

Rectal Rooter
The cable guy showed up today to put a few extra outlets in, he was driving a white unmarked van, I got worried for a few minutes that it was an accidental rectal rooter setup, especially since they called and asked if they could come over early when Kelly answered the phone.
Right now the plumber is here fixing the downstairs toilet, it seems to have broken after about 8 years of service.
Tomorrow I go for a job interview for a transfer position at work. This one has a 6 week training class that doesn't start until June 28th. Its not a job I want to do, but I figure around here, I probably won't find anything else in the month, so I might as well relax for June, do the paid training class in air conditioned comfort in July and early August with every evening and weekend off.
Last night Kelly, Vanessa, Joey, and I went to see The Day After Tomorrow. Scott Daley was sitting in front of me. I was worried something would upset him and he would storm out of the theatre like that day in enviro. sci. class. Although with the cast of us in that class I can understand why he lost it a few times, and am surprised that he still teaches. I'm sure he has nightmares of Kenny yelling "Boot****" to this day though.
I think soon we will see the city for sale on ebay. I counted the businesses for sale today and the ones that have been recently sold or will be sold soon and its a pretty big number. The next thing for sale will probably be the bridges and the hospital. Here's what is currently for sale; the old courthouse, bens, centennial foods, the river inn, jubilee center, the legion(newcastle), club classic, the doolys/keystone kellys building, parks dairy bar, the old smt station, flett dealership property, the old ambassador in Chatham, and northumberland square which is being or has been sold to some company in Toronto.
