Well it was a good run! The job hunt is now on. I wasn’t fired, I was let go. My boss no longer can afford to keep me.
A good friend showed me the way, I mentioned how I loved Foxfire and they suggested I check out www.flock.com
I am in love! Such a time saver, so handy - so AMAZING.
Just had to share that with you…
I don’t know why I always do this to myself? I wanted to wake up at 6:30 a.m. to go for a jog, to be healthy. What do I do? I end up hitting snooze every 5 minutes all the way until 7:55 a.m. so I have just enough time to roll out of bed, grab my computer, and log into work. Okay that’s a lie, we all know I logged into work from bed - but you get the picture.
I could blame it on the fact that I didn’t have a long healthy sleep? I tried to stay up and wait for contact from Dave (Default is in South Korea right now with Trapt playing four US Military shows). I passed out and he called maybe at around 1:30 a.m.? I could go look at my phone to see when the 82 country code called me but I just sat down after standing making breakie (scrambled eggs with shiitake mushrooms, two strips of reduced sodium turkey bacon and a pint of fresh orange juice straight from Dave’s juicer (I’m house-sitting). So back to lack of sleep, maybe that’s why.
One of the things that keeps me hitting snooze is that I always end up having these trippy dreams in between the 5 minute intervals. The only lame thing is now that I’m fully awake I didn’t take the time to try and remember what they were - instead I lamented in the fact that I missed a morning workout. Ah well, I still have my trainer at 11:30 a.m.
Later today I’m going to do some music posts if I get a chance (between my Legal course and Spanish lesson). I want to write about Soul Side In and do some research on Channel Eight and Columbia.
I’m getting excited for Seeds for the first time. I never knew that my boyfriends band once was part of Seeds. But last year we checked out a lot of different shows that had to do with Seeds - it’s an exciting time in the Vancouver Music Scene! There’s a few familiar faces in this years Top 20 and it’s too bad that you can only vote once per day. I’m definetly looking forward to the shows this year and posting about them!!!
More to come.

Okay, so I’m going for it again. Two weeks of health! Today is Day 1 and so far so good. I woke up early and did some cardio, I had to cancel my trainer because I can’t leave the guy doing the windows in our house in our house alone. So that just means I have to do my own extra exercise and I want to do more cardio too. Started the morning off with a protein shake, then a fruit smoothie for mid-afternoon snack. Dave and I are planning on having a shrimp salad for dinner so I’ll probably have some lean pork for lunch and then some almonds for a snack before dinner.
I’m pretty excited for it this time around, because I’m really feeling motivated this time.
I’m also pretty excited because I just squared up my credit cards and have paid my bills in full early for June!
Things are going pretty great right now. We had an amazing weekend with the kids and getting our patio ready for summer.
Dave leaves tomorrow for South Korea. He’ll be gone about a week and we won’t have our berry messenger to communicate with! So we’ll only have Skype – thank goodness for that! I’ll be house sitting for him while he’s away, I always like doing that because I can take full advantage of the juicer and I’m also away from any tempting food that our house is just full of!
I’ll write a more interesting post later.
I’m really taking a shine to my online course right now. I’m a bit choked at myself for getting 80% on my last quiz though, I really want to excel at this and 80% is not excelling. I’m taking a Legal Administrative Assistant course right now and like I just mentioned, loving it. I love learning all these new things and refreshing on old ones. It makes me more aware of everything and I get blown away by rights. I’m especially looking forward to the Family Law course. I want to know everything about it. At first I thought I might like to work in an office that focuses on Family Law but now I’m not so sure. I want bad guys and action - although that can be seen in a Family Law office…
We’ll see how things go. Just wanted to put it out there that I am very excited.
I feel the need to make a new post but in all honest I don’t think I have much of interest to talk about.
I’ve uploaded (with the help of Alison - thank you!) the upgrade for wordpress and if you don’t use wordpress then you have no idea what I’m talking about but let me just tell you that this upgrade has made everything a whole lot easier and I love it - which means I shouldn’t have an excuse not to blog anything.
Dave is going to South Korea at the end of the month. That is super exciting! I was going to go along too but it was estimated that to fly there on points it’d be about 100,000 points to get there, and considering I only have 117,000 points I figured best to save them for other shows and also when he’s away longer than a week.
I’ve now, as you can tell, have made my site semi-private. I’m still going to be completely open and say whatever I want on here, I just want to know who is reading my site. And it honestly doesn’t matter WHO reads my site, that’s what it’s here for. But at least this way I can monitor a bit and have that much more control over it. So now that you’ve joined - feel free to leave comments 
Also you can RSS to my website so that you know when I post updates…
I have an idea for my next post. I’ll maybe do it later when taking a homework break or when I am done school work. Actually I have a couple ideas now… I’m pretty excited about them 
Lastly, I’m finding lack of motivation when it comes to working out. I have a trainer three times a week but I’ve cancelled it this week (mostly because I am really busy with work and school), but lacking the effort when I’m at home and have basically a full gym downstairs with a stair-master and treadmill.
I am currently hungry, going to spoon up a scoop of peanut butter and share it with a banana - yum!
Yesterday I felt inspired to draw - it felt good. I don’t always feel like this so when I do get this feeling it makes me happy. I have a feeling that I will be holding onto this inspiration and drawing a few more things in the days to come. Maybe it’s the sunshine that sticking around, whatever it is I’m not ready to lose it again just yet…

As I sat here thinking about what to write about I thought, how about I write about my New York trip but then decided not to as I am just plain ol’ tired of talking about it. Then I thought maybe I’d dissect a music video, which led me to wanting to talk about Lil Wayne.
I have decided that when people ask me what my “favorite band” is I’m going to keep saying that I don’t have one but I really love Lil Wayne. I have found myself so infatuated with all of his work. When I was in the airport I was flipping through the Rolling Stones article about him, I never picked up the magazine but I’m going to pick up two copies of it today from the bookstore.
Lil Wayne was born in New Orleans and his career started in the industry 13 years ago. He’s sold over 6 million units. Here is an excerpt from the bio posted on his website (www.lilwayne-online.com):
Now with his highly anticipated sixth and arguably his best album The Carter III, Lil Wayne’s career and legacy is set to climb to even greater heights. “I made The Carter III so that whatever song is on, it will stick with you forever,” says Wayne. “That’s why I took my time with it. I wanted it to be a classic.”
Here are some of my favorite Lil Wayne songs:
I Feel Like Dying – Lil Wayne: I by no means do drugs or am an addict but this has got to be one of my favorite songs of his, maybe it’s just the beat and creativity in the lyrics that take me to a different place…
My Life – The Game ft. Lil Wayne: I just really feel this song. Maybe it’s because I’ve had 10 friends taken from me unnaturally already in the short years I’ve spent on this planet. Murdered – stabbed and shot, OD’s, vehicular manslaughter… RIP Justin, Chris, David, Leon, Leuth, Shawn, Clem, Claudio, Doug, Loy…
Official Girl – Cassie ft. Lil Wayne: I’ve posted this song before but I just love it so much and I love the Lil Wayne part in it also. I love everything about this video; the styling, the words, everything.
Overall I just wanted to put my word out there that I think Lil Wayne is going to go down as one of the greatest lyrists. His talent is so completely amazing I am sure there are so many more layers to the onion that is Lil Wayne that I am not even close to reaching yet.
I challenge you to spend some time listening to his work.
If you figured this out, I have one thing to ask: don?t you have anything better to do with your time?
