Tuesday Morning Truths.

Today I have an interview at the Tim Horton's on Henderson. I really don't like Tim Horton's, but this is just until I can find something else. I'm not gonna stop job hunting. Right now I'm hanging in the Second Cup Coffee place on Portage and Main. If I buy a coffee, I get to use the free Internet wireless. It's nice. So I had that residential hearing the other day. So now, at the end of every month, I have to pay 100 dollars to Sussex until the 500 bucks is paid back. Yes, that's right, the amount was reduced. I only had to pay for one month and a week of rent, since i vacated the first week of September. Student loans called, I only have to pay them 150 a month at the end of the month as well. So far, 250 bucks a month mandatory costs. Not so bad. I still owe shaw too, so I was gonna pay them 100 a month, so 350 a month. and I'll pay my mom 100 a month, so 450 a month is my TOTAL costs. round up to 500 to account for paying my phone bill. That's reasonable I suppose, provided I get this job at Timmy's.

Well, that's my post of today, I can't think of anything witty. Maybe I'll post some more writing next time. Ta Ta for now.

Afternoon Amblations from Severe Procrastination

So yesterday I went job hunting. Dropped off like 10 resumes or something like that. It took me four hours to do all the walking. ugh. lol. Anyhow, so come 2pm, I ended up having an hour to kill downtown while waiting for my mom to get off work. So I got myself some coffee, and sat down and doodled in my notebook, and then I started writing some little tidbits of stuff. So here is a compilation of all those tid bits, as written in the little notebook.

silently he sits
staring
out the window
he sees people
some
are his future
others
are his past
he longs for someone
to be present in the presence
of his present
one who presents
lots of presents
perfect presentation
in this present nation
he resents the mint
that is resentment
monetary resentment
which mint to resent?
that canary named larry
was he quite hairy?
quit the smite he had that night
with that broken traffic light
perhaps today he can pay
the fine that binds and grinds
after lines have torn the page
its perfect time to earn the wage
of monkeys tolled for using sticks
and dirty men for waving dicks
a truck takes bucks
but so do ducks
both emit waste
only one emits gas
lay a mint upon the floor
laments of the sick and poor
the hidden ones who we save for
help that man, theres always more
cross the street
with quickly feet
your steps are sure
roadkill with no fur
semantics
of some antics
that great math class
with sums and ticks
the complacence
of children playing store
they add breadth and width
"bring breadth and come play width cents"
the ramifications
of my ruined vacation
from bad medication
and poor ventilation
the sins of our nation
unseen information
let loose your formation
of small ammunition
at the end of term, oil
the gears of your life
with the tears of the past
refine them into fuel
after a monsoon
the lights will come on soon
in the dark we see nothing
what difference will a light make
the bird is fluttering
trapped in the mouth
of many scruffy felines
at the printer are there line fees?
shop at the square, its only fair
why not, with equal sides?
but squares are weak
though all sides equal
so why don't we try angles
with triangles instead
a pirate, he swash buckles
at pier eight, she washes buckles
appearing late, he merely chuckles
that smeared plate, caressing knuckles
that funny hat
he's a communist
spray a cat
he says, come you mist
bitter cause he bit her
butter he figured would lighten the mood
but her food was well flavoured
so they used water instead
from daisy or pansies
sprout pollen or poetry
it depends on the roots
if warmed up within, syllables flow
if withered when dry, to bee hives they go
health brings one to be green
disease makes the other glow green
one lasts a lifetime, the other a season
but both can bring joy to a mother
a dozen of one could be overkill
a dozen of the other causes romance to swell






yah, it's kinda neat i suppose. I just sort of free wrote. off the top of my head etc.

This part always stumps me, what am I actually talking about?

Hmm, so here I am at my mother's place. Using her computer and her noisy keyboard. Obviously noone types on it as much as I type on my own. I can type between 80 to 100 words per minute, so I wore out my keyboard pretty fast. My own computer has been making me angry as of late. The cd drive stopped reading discs for some reason, and so I'm gonna have to replace that. It's sucks I know, but there's nothing to be done. It's plain old worn out. Figures that it would happen just as the warranty runs out. Just another case of Murphy's Law I suppose. Anyhow, I suppose that shouldn't keep me from using it for internet, expect for the fact that it's also been running real slow as of late too. Needs a defrag or a reformat, however because the cd drive isn't working, I can't reinstall windows or anything. They all require a working cdrom drive. It's all really frusterating, and easily fixed if it weren't for the fact that I have no money to get the parts. *resounding sigh*. Anyhow, other than that, life's not too bad. Going tomorrow to hand in a score of resumes to a score of businesses. Hopefully I can have a job before the end of September. Or at least before the rental board hearing on the 23rd. It'll probably look alot better for me. On a positive note, Since I haven't had to be working at Tim Horton's, I've been able to grow out my beard again. Feels real nice again. w00t!. Gotta love the ability to grow facial hair.

Anyhow, I should hit the sack soon. I have to be up at 5am so for now I say toodles. You shouldn't eat noodles, unless eaten by spoonfuls.

Bidding Adeu to a Humble Abode

It's nine thirty on a Sunday, and here I stand at the oversized windowsill of the empty apartment that was my home for 3 years. As I cleaned up during the day today, I kept stopping to survey the apartment, and remember all the good, bad and mediocre things that happened over those 3 years. So I figured I'd give a summary of some of the apartments highlights and lowlights.

I moved into this apartment in August of 2005. Two and a half months earlier I had graduated from highschool, and boy was I excited to finally have my own place. It's what any young adult aspires to. So my girlfriend at the time, Brittany, the wonderful girl that she is, helped me to move into the apartment, and even gave me some of the old furniture from her place that they were gonna get rid of. It was a nice little apartment, and I was proud of it.

So two weeks later I started university and my girlfriend started school in The Pas. Loved the long distance bills on those phone calls.

A month after that, me and my girlfriend sat in the apartment with her crying because we were breaking up. Her parents hated me because I didn't have a rich family, and the long distance relationship just wasn't working out too well. It was a sad time, but we both knew it was for the best.

So after that, things started going downhill. I was running out of student loan money, my brother moved into my tiny apartment, and I was starting to get depressed. Winter was approaching, and so the days were short, and nothing happy was happening in my life. I was doing bad in school and nothing seemed to make me happy.

I managed to make it through the winter and come april 2006 I started working again, and paying rent, and getting happier cause it was summer, and by the time fall came again, I had some money saved up again, and got the student loan, and started school and things looked.

Come winter time though, I was doing bad in school AGAIN, and feeling depressed and all that same stuff over again. needless to say, it wasn't the greatest of winters anyhow.

So fast forward to summer, I started work again. summer was the same. worked all day, came home, worked the next day. etc etc.

Winter was better, but nothing significant happened, it was a good winter. Quit university cause I got smart and realized it wasn't working.

Now it's the end of the summer and I'm evicted because work shafted me on hours and I couldn't pay the rent. Oh well.

Yah, the last few paragraphs are rushed because I need to get to bed, gotta be up early tomorrow to get out lol.

The Spun Run!

Here's a goofy little poem I wrote just a little while ago. The beginning is rough, but the ending half ain't too bad.

dilly dally, fiddle faddle.
Up a creek without a paddle.

pitter patter, cocker spaniel.
I tell you now my names not Daniel.

Holly dolly, molly wolly.
Can you find the hidden folly?

Speckled pickle, nickel wrinkle.
Oh the stars how they do twinkle.

parting smarting, carting fodder.
The federales, have they caught her?

winky pinky, ranky danky.
Is that a tear? Please pass my hanky.

funky runky dunky tunky forky.
When you leave please don't forget your door key.

gump rump and tumpety stump.
your out of gas, jump to the pump.

pork and rork are soon to plab?
the milk has spilled, give it a dab!

spenny renny tenny lenny.
eat no food to save a penny.

mend the bend in destinys end.
your mind to blend what bakers spend.

fun is spun inside the bun.
so fun to run from lovers shun.

mine the spines of golden lines.
so fine the fines of endless shines.

clean your spleen you speckled bean.
your average mean to glean whats keen.

sand the hands of theiving glands.
throw down your ties to roaming clans.

roam the tomes of ancient rome.
breathe in the moisture of the foam?

now to sow the timeless cow.
can you foresee the future plow?

cart the part that ought not be arts.
let loose the throng of poisoned darts.

done is the run of this poetry spun.
what fun it was to have spun this run.
