im starting to understand why parents hate their sons for
getting tatoos. obviously some tatoos have an ugly nature to them and are not "clean" as in the idea behind it maybe because of a gang or what not, but if said parents son got a tatoo saying "come home troops" or "we love you canada" or something clean and strong like that their parents would love having this on them or at least let them get it...

where has the time gone
Well is that time of year again, summer. Its not official yet but it will be soon. Im going to be really busy this year as I have signed up for many shows and have plans to attend weddings. First up is the hamilton show, then I think theres a bit of time untill either the st thomas show is on or the folk festival I don't know.
I have been feeling a bit better about things. Im into my 2nd book of the artemis fowl books,well its actually the 3rd installment. The bookstore in st marys person said the arctic incident is the first book but it's the 2nd one so im on the 3rd and I havent read the 1st one yet.
oh well ill get to that at some point. Lots of grass cutting this week. We got our massey back but the other 8n is not working so we towed it over to this place just a few minutes drive from here but was a hair raising time as I had to keep my feet on the brake not pushing it but had my feet resting on it incase something were to go wrong. Nothing went wrong but heck going up the hills was very hard to do as there could be a crash and my eyes were watering and I couldn't stop to wipe them. But yes it was fun!!
Anyways ive been having some banff dreams lately and I don't like them. Someones sending some sort of message to me during my subconsious thoughts should be illegal..
anyways sad to see the canucks lose last night.
night

reflecting on banff
in the last few days ive been reminiscing about the days that i lived in banff. Seems that some of the things i put in the past are coming back into my day to day things. I dont spend every day in a starbucks but, i do see one every few days and it reminds me of someone. Someone i knew a bit and am thinking of alot these days, not like a "im really like you " thinking more of a "wondering that she is ok" kind of thinking.
I stand my ground on wanting to be with an airplane or to find someone else to talk to etc...

fed up trying to get the drive mowers belt back on?
Well heres what i did today, normally i would call the local garage or get someone to to fix it but i found out all you need to do is raise the lever/mower deck as high as you can without breaking it then get someone to raise the belt and hopefully i should fit back on and you are good as golden

how closure should be...
I know that when most people break up its hard and we put the memories in the back of our minds. This really does not solve the problem it prolongs it and makes it so that its not forgotten. What we should be doing for closure should be filling out some sort of legality forms. In these forms you would write as much as you could about what you have wanted to say since the breakup. After you write all this and the partner fills it out you get a form of emotional closure and a phsyical closure. This would prevent or at least help prevent stalking or Unrequitted love. At least even if there was no love you could at least carry around a piece of legal paper that says you and someone else had a relationship and it lasted for XXX number of years. You broke up because of this or that. It would allow full closure of sorts.
It would help me greatly, to know what I did wrong or what I said or did that made things change for the people who no longer want to talk to me.
Does anyone agree?

Just completed a bit of work on my computer on the insides...i had to look at if the PCI slots are PCI or AGP card slots so that i can tell waht kind i need to upgrade my video card.

2010 in review
about this time every year, i try to do a wrap up of the big things i did this year.
December=31/ January 1st- went to mark langois's buck and doe, and then closer the the "hour " we went to cobble hills to hang with freinds drink and be merry
January-nothing big
Febuary-Olymipic Week @Cobble. I entered a snow volleyball comptetiton and won a pair of mp3 sunglasses, and a box of mike and ikes. My team of allan brander, matt and me. We won by default.The team we were supposed to play left the hill. Good times.
March-nothing big
April-birthday
21st-went with fundraisig team at JAM to Air Combat Zone. Meeting was nice talked about all the cool plans and then went to the sim room. i was d-man, derek was cardinal, paul was ??? and dave was maverick. Someone shot me down, but....but...i shot someone else while falling down to the ground.
May-3rd, mom in an accident on the way home from the doctor, was rushed to local hospital and put inder a medical coma of sorts.
19th Traci flew to the west to get her car and drive home. The plan was for me to meet her in winnipeg and continue to ontario. I landed in winnipeg 21st or something.She didnt even have time to park at the entrance before i hopped into the car and we were on our way. We stopped overnight in kenora, then continued to dryden where we had planned the night before to go see a friends parents place and they werent home so we took some pictures isntead...
We continued to drive past shale rocks and trees almost like a cartoon uses the same background in animations or cartoons. Untill ta-da the lakes started showing up. We continued all the way through northern ontario and i drove a bit.The night before, we planned out where we were going to stop over and we thought wed go from kenora to wawa, stay over and then try to continue on from there. But it got late and i we saw a travelodge at the side of the road and we were both yawning alot, so we said its about time to stop.and so we did. That night we opened the map and made a plan so that we knew what we were doing the next day. We did quite a good job of planning becuse we drove all the way home in one day from marathon, mind you we stopped a million times to take in the view. What a beautiful place northern ontario is. We also stopped a long time at the most beautiful place on the border of northern and southern ontatio Perry Sound is beautiful town/city and we stopped for a photo opp, supper and some particualrily famous ice cream at the floatplane base...
This is about the time the signs start showing the 400 series freeways on them instead of the normal highway one. We are coming into an area of ontario ive seen before, as its not like what i had been driving in before i got to that point. Id never been in northern ontaaaaario. And then my cool and i know what im doing ego comes in as i had started to remeber a secret way home we used to drive to skii hills near arthur and had not driven this route in ages. We managed to make it home before sunrise the next day!! The END

Mark Dailey passes away
I grew up with a tv with 3 to 4 channels. One was usually london, then kitchener and toronto and sometimes (with the right antenna setting wed get CBC. So i spent a lot of time in between those channels and one channel in particular was torontos city tv. Everytime the programming went to commercial youd hear mark dailey say "city tv its the news out here " or something. Wasnt much but it has lasted all these years...
Toronto will miss you mark.
Toronto will miss you mark.
its december
hey world its me. Im blogging again. Not that anyones listening that is. Im watching a lot of corner gas, dr oz and a few others. I have been thinking aout ony 1 thing...the boeing 737-200. It's the most beautiful aircraft ive ever seen. Not to forget the 727 and 707. The old smokers as they used to call them. Not sure what they were smoking but they were loud. I love the 737-200 because of how wonderfully cool it looks. In some angles it looks like a flighter plane.
Cobble hills is open soon.
Snowing here at the moment
