Could it be an Omen?

So the college has not called! I have been waiting very calm and quiet. But now I think I might just cause a riot! It seems that know one knows why I am not "processed" yet. Have they cashed my cheque, you bet. So wtf? It turns out that the lady who would have all of the answers is not in till Friday morning., maybe Monday! I have wondered aloud if I should go to this college. I remind myself that this is a special case, although I find it hard to believe that all applicants who need to test for entrance would go all the way up to Fort Mac to do it. I don't care, now I am not holding my breath and Monday will surely come, as will my admission or rejection by the college. It certainly has been a drama but still it is a career path that seems comfortable to me. Yet still I wonder, about the trouble, to send me yonder. Yet I wonder again, are these innocent mistakes or! Could it be an Omen?

Poor me, I don't think so!

What is with the friggin weather? Look at this shit! All over my truck and the street to top it off it is slush rather than snow. It took all the might I could muster to move the heavy crap off of my windshield. I can expect a power outage with this kind of freezing rain/snow. I don't want to sound flipant but it would be nice to see a little global warming about now. The winter has been long enough and while it hasn't been brutal, it has been a hard one. You might remember the pics of my trip to Lethbridge at Xmas time. Yes it is time for sunshine and April showers not WINTER STORM WARNINGS! Yet this is afterall Alberta, the land where snow in July is not unknown. Where you can get lightning in a snow storm. It is a place of rugged beauty of pastoral scenes and dramatic cityscapes, all in all it is home. Even in this weather I could think of worse places to be. The first that comes to mind would be, outside with this frozen nuthatch clinging to the elm tree in my back yard. Po

Time to get back in the swing

I can't hide anymore! I have been busy with music, physio and life in general. This has become an excuse, this life thing, it must stop! I have neglected my blog long enough! It is time to write. Finding things of interest in my life seems to be the hurdle of the month. This is yet another whiny excuse "My life is so boring". My life might be just that but it does not mean my thoughts have to be the same. I have things to comment on, lots of er things......perhaps I will get a cup of coffee and think about a few posts. There is my new "style" (as pictured) to comment on and the new stores that have opened in my little town. The point is I have to commit to writing or else I will never get better at it. Time for that coffee, then some writing, then some breakfast. Time to get back in the swing!
OK I am totally drunk by now. So what is it that enables a person to become Emergency Techs? This is so foriegn to me. how can these people do the things they do? They don't know about your kid brother or your ex wife's condition? What are you gonna fuckin do? This is what these folk go through every day. amazing!

I love rock and roll!

I love music as much as I love women so it only makes sense to have photos that combine the two. Again an apology for not being around but between tunes and life I have not had the time to blogalot. What I find distressing is that for as long as I have been away I should have tons to type about but I don't. Of course there are a hundred things that I could write about, maybe I am experiencing blogburnout, but have no interest in writing at this time. I probably have most of my creative energy being used in lyrics and tunes, sounds good, lets go with that. So I will put down some quick notes in hopes that it will look something like a blog. I still have not heard from the college and so I am forced to go old school on thier ass and use a phone to call and see if I am in or out. My Eldest had a dream in which I was a nomad and my truck would turn into a tent/igloo! I worry about this dream that she had. I think it might be an indication that she is worried that I am going to be a va

The things we think as parents!

My eldest is pregnant and determined to have her child unmolested by Television. An honorable gesture to think such a thing but Really only a gesture. We have such ideals when we are new parents, women more than men, men going a little more gaga when it is another man being born. Yes it would be nice to have our children protected from anything which might come it's way. I know my daughter is not stupid about this so I won't be either. No it is just the thought of those days gone by, when I would wonder aloud as to what my kids would be like, I always felt they would be ok but with no other predictions. They have all been such good people and kids that I am insufferably proud of them. I think my daughter will be the same with hers, a parent who is proud of everything the wee one does. Keep the kid from TV! Pffftya! The things we thinks as parents!
Hello fans! I am still in Lethbridge taking in a band tonight, my exwife's blues band, featuring my middle Daughter as lead singer on a least half of the stuff. So I'll be heading back home tomorrow. Give me a day to download photos and do some editing, by next week I should have a few posts to post.

On the road

I am in foriegn territory for the next while and I will have a number of posts to put up. I am not doing it right now because I want to add photos etc, so the posts will have to wait.
