sleep

How wonderful it would be if I could start sleeping again. Because for the past few weeks, since the purchase of my new house, I haven't been able to sleep properly. I wake up continuously all throughout the night. I haven't slept soundly, nor with any peace. I am so tired, but am being denied the peace and rest required to live properly, and in good health.
It's royally, fucking, pissing me off! I just want some fucking sleep. Some real rest and relaxation. Is that too much to ask?

Dreaming

Okay, so I want a tattoo. A particular tattoo that hasn't received much positive feedback, but that I want all the same. A Mr.Clean looking fellow, standing there, non-descript face, fairly muscular, arms crossed over his chest, wearing blue jeans and a white t-shirt, black boots. With white angel wings coming out of his back over his shoulders. White feathery wings. Now I've been told by those whose advice I hold dear, that it would be a very "white power" type of tattoo. Now I don't know if this is b/c I used to be very much like that, or what, but I don't see it at all. I think it't be this really cool angel, kinda like Gabriel or Michael or something. Maybe I could have a sword strapped to his side. But to me, it's a symbol of God, an Angel, His angel. Either way, I think it would be a kick ass tattoo, and I'd love to have it.

Interrupted Posting

I did have a post, I was halfway through writing it, when I stopped to chat with my buddy Sean from SAIT. I hadn't talked to him in a couple of months, so I wanted to see what was up. His brother died last month in a car crash at night. Looks like he swerved to miss a deer. I can't really write anything else. I'll finish the post later.

I'm sorry dude.

Beautiful

My friend Stacey posted this. It's absolutely beautiful. It made me cry. I watched it over and over and over.

Mad Props

Hats off to these brave souls.

Worst Part of the Day

This is the worst part of the day. The final walk up the stairs for the night, leaving the quiet dark of the main floor, making sure all the doors are locked. Getting ready for bed, and turning off the light. Sliding into my big, empty bed. All alone. My brain a whirring, a million thoughts flowing through my head. The most prominent being lonliness.
It is nice that this place is becoming home. And the days are fine. It's the nights. That's when the lonliness hits me.

Home

So my house is beginning to look much more like a home. My parents, who are absolutly wonderful, came over again today and helped me out with some more cleaning. My mom finished organizing my kitchen, and my dad washed my kitchen floor and walls. My brother and I moved some furniture around, so things are starting to finally come together. It's nice having my carpets cleaned as well, they feel a million times nicer.
So yeah, I'm loving this place. I just need Mama Bean here to complete it.

Yummy

So this was growing in my bathtub. So after a long day, and a horrible evening, I go to have a shower and find it doesn't drain. So what do I do? I took out my plug and went exploring. This is what I found.

Woo Hoo!

This is so awesome!

Pots

Okay, so I have these pots that I got from a friend of my dad's. He commited suicide when I was in high school, and b/c my dad helped his wife with the funeral stuff, she gave him all his dishes. Which were given to me. The pots are these heavy ass cast iron things that annoy the fuck out of me. I like the fact that I can just put them in the oven, but they are so heavy, and take longer to cook than the thin steel ones.
So out of curiousity, I looked up the company name on the internet today. "Le Creuse" And find out that they are these high end fancy ass EXPENSIVE pots. Like my smallest pot is worth $99 US. How retarded is that? And I was just going to go and buy myself some new pots and give these away or something. Crazy... I still want new ones, but I like the fact that I have fancy french pots. :) Oh, and the plates and bowls and cups and shit? They are all this fine china stuff that I just use all the time. Hehehe. Now if only I could get some more tupperware instead of this cheap rubbermaid shit.

My House!

These are pictures of my new house!

Doh!

I keep forgetting my camera at my parents place, so I haven't uploaded the pictures yet. Sorry, I'll do it from their place tonight.

Today is the day!

Since I woke up an hour ago I haven't been able to sit still. I'm just so excited. Today I take possession of my house! Shortly here I have to go to the insurance office and get that sorted out and then it's off to Airdrie to do my walk-through, and the place will be mine!
I feel like I should eat something, but I'm not hungry. I didn't sleep well last night. It's like Christmas morning, cept this is going to put me into so much more debt than I have ever been in. My plans are starting to fall together. In high school when I started my millwright apprenticeship I planned on buying a house in my early 20's. I also planned on being done my apprenticeship by now, but a few setbacks, and wonderful events (ie. Jo) life is starting to come together. Now I just have to keep it on track.
Yay for new houses! Pictures will be posted today. (H, where do you post your pictures in that little online gallery?)

In Response

In response to the comments in the previous post...
Of course you can come see it! I move in on Friday. Everyone is invited to come check it out anytime after Sunday. Okay, I take possession on Friday, Saturday will be cleaning, and Sunday will be move in day. So anytime after that. Unless you feel like helping me clean or move.
As for your list of things to say, Irish Wristwatch was our favorite. I think I've actually written a post about it before. About how we used to try and get other students doing presentations to try and say it. Or how we'd trick the prof's into saying it. So much fun...
I'm so excited about moving! I hope they haven't left it in too much of a mess. I got all my gas/electricity/water/sewer hooked up, and let me tell you what a hassle THAT was. I get my internet hooked up Friday night, and am going to get Vongage (VoIP) for my phone, so we'll see how that works.
So much fun!
Oh, and I'm about 95% done packing!

Chicago Bound

Woo Hoo! I'm off to Chicago for 4 days. A nice little holiday. See my Jo. Good stuff.
Oh, and I move into my new house next Friday!
