An open and frank declaration
Drivel
I found boredom
1I think a lot of people get bored. They might be sitting at home on their computer, telling me they are bored. But I am doing the same thing and I am not bored.
Also, maybe I am waiting in line at the store, people around me get impatient, perhaps they are bored. Again, I am not bored (music helps).
I don’t necessarily think music is the interesting part for me. My mind just functions in a way that I can entertain myself in various situations. I might look forward to something ending, or starting, but in the meantime I can usually fill my thoughts with something. Perhaps the next blog topic to write or what i’m going to set my facebook status too, hah.
However, I did find out how to get bored. Waiting for someone for an unknown period of time is BORING. If I can foresee the delay, i can brain wander, but if it could end at anymoment and action commences, I have to remain in this state of preparedness. I hate that. I need to learn not to hate that because I will almost certainly have my life intertwined to another and there will be times when our timings are not perfect and will require waiting.
Or maybe I will die alone, but not of boredom! 
hah.
I'm a monster
0I was dissecting my dinner, a whole chicken. I felt like a monster, tearing muscles from the cartilidge and bone. Other chickens would hate me, and more than hate, but loathe, fear, shun. An enemy on the most basic of levels.
But hey, its just how it is, they are made out of meat, don’t hate me for being an omnivore.
I wonder if I can parallel this to a psychological or sociological insight. Like how some dentists rip out teeth but its just their job. A loved one might make you feel crappy, but maybe they are doing that for your own benefit. I dont think it translates to “some people are just bad and you have to deal with it” we have free will in behavior. I suppose we have free will in diet, but I just like meat too much. Rawr, i am eating your leg stupid bird!
beware the ides, and reviews
0I survived the ides of march. Did you?
I have been living with a cat and I have related this to people. Some just walk around, want attention, then get out of the way when work needs to be done. They make noise and might cuddle or sit on your lap but they don’t really contribute or have any depth. Of course they are just animals but if i get a girlfriend who was like that, I will light my socks on fire, then i should wake up, give her a can of food and kick her out the door. (No i don’t have anyone like this right now, I am just hypothesizing future problems because my life is so vacant of real problems)
I also minireview some things!
(more…)
you make no sense
0Seriously Sheridan, you make nooo sense. Your wife will need to read every psychology book twice. Or just stick probes in your brain for mind-reading. I wonder if Jean Grey is single or if Professor X has any daughters.
Become a fan
0I was messin around on facebook today and browsing a bit. There is a system where you can say who you are a fan of. I thought awesome! I am a fan of such cool people… but no they aren’t pop singers or actors or even politicians. They are my real friends, I can smile and cheer them on because I know their actual character. Can you endorse Tom Cruise and be his fan? Maybe you liked his MI movies, i did. But then it turns out he’s kinda crazy. How can you be a fan of someone else that you only know from a staged perspective.
Maybe i’m your fan… unless you’re a celebrity.
Being Healthy
1So yesterday i was tired from shopping all day and walking. It was around dinner time and I just said.. whatever I’ll get a box of kfc. It came with some sides which taste like how i imagine prison food slop is.
Anyway I found this today, which will take a long time to load and might break the flogblog thing in facebook
So how do you eat healthily (yes it has -ly)? I’m eating a carrot right now, I have a box of not-candy granola bars to take to work as well as a 6 pack of v8s! I also like bringing yogurt for lunch. And eating lettuce. Just for lettuce sake.
Employee and churching it
2So! I am finally an employee. And I likeit? I’m pretty tired from
1 waking up (a few times… joys of crowded home)
2 debating about making a lunch (I just shoved yogurt and deli meat in my pocket)
3 showering (brr its cold! my towel felt cold/wet before even using it)
4 walking to work (3km takes ~30min it was quite icy though),
5 getting set up at work,
6 going to dollar store (coat hangars+shaving cream woot woot) / starbucks for lunch,
7 being at work reading and meeting ppl,
8 walking back,
9 making dinner (leftover fried chicken/spinach roll, some lettuce+cheese, and banana loaf) and
10 firing off my emails, IMs and this blog.
Its only 8pm but i’m pretty much prone and don’t feel like moving. I can’t wait for my bed to arrive (next week) cause right now i’m in the common room couch and its not really my space.
Back to work, i am working on undisclosable (shh secret) game (sports?) project! Yay, i’m being a keener too because i love sports and games. There are a lot of technical people who come out of university with degrees and i’m not really one of the typical types. I see myself like the managers and leads in many ways, so i hope to learn a lot where i dont know anything and work my way up there soon.
Yesterday, I double churched, something that i’ve done many many times back home just for something to do. This time i’m trying to find a ‘community’. The first church i went to was quite small, met in the movie theatre and talked about community! They are starting small groups at the end of this 4 week sermon series. It seems maybe too small, but i liked it on some level. Second church i went to was a PAoC pentecostal tabernacle. It was in yet another old style church (there is an old-style church on every corner) with a vast majority of seniors with a few ‘youngins’ , but no middles? I really enjoyed the worship and the sermon was delivered quite well too from an older but hip irish fellow. There’s another church (mennonite brethren) i want to scout at the evening service but i can see myself going back to this pentecostal one most sundays. They are having a young adults meeting on dalhousie campus on tuesday that i’ll check out. Next week i will check out either the baptist church across the street or the on-campus ‘real life community’ church . lots of choices! they are all good i’m sure, but which is best for me?
how long until i make this home?

Another diary of f to the izzax
0H to the izzally
F to the izzax
So the first day I was zonked, i got to the airport at like 8 or so, had a BK enourmous omelette burger. Shuttled into town, met roommates, set up my room (ok, i just plugged in my laptop and took socks out of my PC) inflated my bed, nerded it up, and slept.
Day two, was shopping day! I woke up really early and set up my 360 to play some of my christmas gift! Halflife2… i’ve played it before so i just wanted to get to a cool part. Its truly an amazing game for those who havent played it. I haven’t finished it yet so i have to do so to earn my gamer reputation back. (Its my job now)
I walked over to the mall and checked out the bay, which has like the scariest stairwell ever, plus when i got to the top, it was locked so i went back down and was actually hoping not to run into any rapists. I made it back down and took an elevator up to the bay. It’s connected to this ‘mall’ thing that has a couple random things, vacant spaces and some professional offices. Oh, there’s a yoga studio upstairs, a pile of ladies (no mom, i doubt they were single or under 40) were getting out jst as i showed up. I was pretty depressed since i thought this was the main mall other than the downtown strip.
I walked outside and found out that there was a shoppers, walmart, sobeys, and a few other random things connected, but not indoors. ONe of those random things was a first choice haircutters and i got my hair cut! yay. The lady who cut my hair chatted me up well. I was on my way to check out sears which was one of the bigbox things that i saw from the bay. Well! Sears is connected to a real mall, you know the kinds with stores and people and things to buy! It looked pretty big, and has 170 shops! even though they are including some that are accessible outdoors.
I bought some hooks, garbage can, shampoo, mandarin oranges, mug (that got smashed on way home), slippers, duvet, and a bed! I found a pizza place buffet which also had salad and pasta. Oh, this is my first non-snack meal since that BK omelette. Needless to say i need to buy some groceries. But hey! all you can eat! I got way more than my $10 worth, and i would love to go back, they had this sweet barbeque steak pizza that was so good. They also had two dessert pizzas mmmm. Pizza delight!
Bed arrives in like 10 days though 
its really comfy and i bought a frame too so i can sit on it and so i can have space underneath.
So now its morning, i dont know what day it is. Hah. Groceries day! As soon as its a bit warmer out and the stores open i’ll go hit superstore which is nearby. Meanwhile i am writing this all up and waiting for gossipgirl to finish downloading
Halifax is where i am
2Halifax is nice, seems like my parents will get the last laugh and make me break down and get some slippers. My feet are mostly cold or wet feeling even indoors. I feel like I’m camping so far.
I travelled and slept mostly on day one with a bit of flames victory partaking. Now as i write this, its almost time to go out and explore and buy things. I am fully representing calgary well with flames jersey hoodie and hat! They just see the albertan money coming so i hope for extra good service.
