Who am I giving blood to?

Friday was a great day, I gave blood, got some stuff done around the house, went to work from 1-8, and then just hung out with Alex. Me and Alex gave blood together, good thing she had enough iron in her blood so she could give it this time. Last time we went together was like early summer, and she couldnt give it cause it didnt sink to the bottom of the cup in the Cu(II)SO4 solution meaning you dont have enough iron in your blood (hemoglobin), haha okay maybe I am nerd. But I saw it on the paper the solution make up, and thought I would tell you guys to eat alot of greens and meat before you go. Its a really go experience. It will be my third time next time. I Like doing it. Knowing you're helping out people that need it is great. Plus I am a universal donor so anyone can use my blood, atleast i think. So I can help out potentially anyone. They have alot of very great questions they ask you in person before you are allowed to go give blood. They ask you about 30 questions about if you have had sex with a guy after 1977, and its definitely a no. Also if you have been to africa or have had blood from africa. Its a real snooze, I kinda laugh and sleep to pass the time during these questions. They are useful for gay people, but seriously just ask me my sexual preference and if I have been to africa it would be all over then. No more stupid questions and no more wasting my time. I beat my new old record which was nice, last time i gave a pint or whatever they call it in 4:58 and this time i gave in 4:41. They were pretty impressed, said I had a great heart, and were proud of me that I beat alex by a good 2 minutes. But its no doubt I beat her, cause my heart is bigger and what not.

Needles will never stop scaring me though. I get this idea that they really hurt when they dont. The nurse said that i prolly gave blood pretty fast cause my heart rate was up because of my apprehension of hurting needles. For the record it hurt, and also hurt if I moved my arm even a little bit. It was okay when it was out, and I got soup after with a pop. So we had lunch for free from Canadian Blood Services, and had a great time giving some life to other people. Its almost volunteering it feels like.

Well gotta jet, going to church tonight and gonna go see my dad for a while. So if you have anything you want to say please post a comment. Even u non-bloggers can post stuff on here, just under anonymous. Just sign your name with a comment or w/e about the blogs. Talk to you later.

I just need to know, that I am something you will be missing

Another post! Can it be true?

Haha 8 or so hours I was here writing another post. Just helping my mom clean up the house this morning who was sick so stayed home from work. So I am done helping and now waiting for alex to get over here so we can go donate blood, and maybe go out for lunch, I will see if time is on my side or not. Usually time is not on my side, cause I never have any time to blog, or just anytime for anything else. But usualyl I fill my free time with alex and just MSN, so you think I could blog while on msn. I thought I should blog again faithfully cause Benj's blog is getting mad at me for not blogging and alex wanted me to blog again haha. Atleast if I do somethign I should do it right, right?

So today I am giving a part of me to unknown strangers, I feel like a prostitute, for the second time. THe first time I gave blood was earrly summer with alex. Alex couldnt do it cause she had low iron/hemoglobin in her blood and she was denied, but like a faithful friend at that time, laughed at me with a needle in my arm because it hurt like a son o' gun cause the vein was not like normal veins. The vein was off to the side a bit and it pinched, and I really do hate needles. I think that stems from the dentist. UGH dentist needles creep me out. Huge needles being put into your gums. I am starting to get woozy. Maybe cause I am hungry and working off of 6 hours of sleep or less.

Along with giving blood I am working at 1-8. We have a going away party for this one supervisor who is going to Western Wats: Phillipines. She is goinng to a different country to work at western wats, I cant believe going across this town to work at western wats haha. They have like 1200 people working at this call center where we have like 30-40. They do 4,000 man hours a day. Thats crazy shit. Phillipinos just like sherrie are crazy. But what else is there to do in the phillipines beside pick bananas, work at Western Wats: Phillipines, or just be a surfer. I could see my self going there for fun, but not to work for a year like candace is. I dont think I could leave everyone here, friends, family and most of all Alex.

Its crazy a month and a half ago, I was like every other guy without a girlfriend, Every guy hosting a sausage fest, by going to movies with buddies or w/e and now I have a girlfriend, and now no more sausage fests. Haha never will I look at groups of guys the same way haha, but they may have girlfriends too and just are getting out and need a break for a night just like I do sometimes. Not that I want a break for alex, but I do have nights where it dont work out that we hang out, so we just take that night off. Its a great feeling having someone you care about, and for all you guys that feel like you have no chance, dont worry The Lord has plans for you, Plans for you to prosper and not harm you. That was a sketchy Bible quote, but just remember your chance will come , you just have to trust the Lord our God.

OWWW!!! I am flossing my teeth and they are telling me its been like a couple weeks since I last did it. Flossing is a real pain in the neck, but the floss was here, so I decided to do it while I am bloggiong. To pass the utter boring time while just blogging and listening to New Found Glory. If you have time go out and buy New Found Glory's new cd "Coming Home" its like a massage for your ears. Every song is great, but enough about that. I must go take a shower soon so I smell good for the nurses. I also must get my thinking cap on, because when you give blood you must answer all these weird questions. For example "Have you had gay bum sex with any guy since 1977." Like these questions are effed up. Who cares? I am giving you blood you better be happy. Well the Screening process is brutal, but I think i iwll be able to get through it again haha. Its pretty simple, the only question I have to answer yes to is "Are you feeling well today" haha thats pretty simple. Well peeps time for me to jet.

You have my heart in your hands, So dont let it go.

Earth to Kyle

Well I trust you didnt die while not reading my great blogs. I know they are an endless source of fun and amusement. But I have been busy with other things, mainly procrastinating on putting another post on. But back by popular demand, a post from Kyle.

So life has been pretty busy, well not busy with many things to do, but busy doing the things I do. Working, Alex and fundraising have been taking up my time. Also the gym has been taking my mornings 4 -5 days a week up. But I can see results, so it makes it all worth going. Life really passes by if you are busy with stuff, days fly and next thing you know you're going to church again. Not that that is a bad thing. Church is the best thing you can do for your life.

Western Wats is treating me well, minus the 8 hour shifts of doom. I work 1-9 tues-friday and then 9-5 on saturdays, its been heck, but I have been supervising and its going real well. Monitoring the people that call our respondents (people who do surveys) is the best job really, you get to still dial which is the lowest job but still fun after 5 hours of monitoring. Also doing product supervisor is not bad, you get to boss around people who were just like you 3 weeks ago, now you get to tell them what is up, and what to do. These may be more responsibility but they also have time for chatting with people, taking unscheduled breaks and chatting with other supervisors about practically nothing. So Western Wats is going as good as it could be at the present time. Like I dont want the job, but I need to get off my lazy ass and look for another one. Plus its not like I dont have a job at the moment, so I aint really being a bum.

Fundraising is going good. I have been showing up to all of the functions that we get money from, but I didnt sell tickets to a play thing we had. It was 20 bucks darryl said we didnt get which is fine. I would rather work 2 hours and make that up haha, like I really care about 20 bucks. So right now I am selling bulbs and hamburgers to make money for that trip. Its a real pain in the ass, not having everything handed to you anymore haha. Must work to go to mexico, then work at mexico. It will be fun, cept for this Idea of leaving my precious girlfriend at home, well she will be out visiting people in calgary and cranbrook or whereever. But I will be hanging out with pretty cool people like Alissa and many grade 12 and 11 kids, even the grae 10 kids are pretty cool. Mexico is in February, and there will be many more fundraisers to go, we also have auctions and even a slave auction where we do work for people who pay money for us. It will be interesting to see how much I fetch haha. Me and all my muscley glory haha. So look for more posts coming up soon here.

Well I think i should jet, thats what is happening in my life at the present time. Plus Alex, she is happening! She is so hot, and I am having a great time with her, if any guy who is single at the moment has an interest in a girl, I suggest trying to act on your feelings and try to get the girl to be interested with you. Be as interesting as possible, and be yourself. That is my words of wisdom, Be Yourself Around the Person you Like. It really is attractive if you are yourself, and really dont try to be fake. So dudes and dudettes, take it easy catch ya on the flip side.

If you are the shore, I am the waves begging for big moons.

My Supervisor Job

So at "THe worst job ever" they offered me a job as a supervisor along with some other gals. Today was my interview and it was like 45 minutes wasted out of my long 8 hour shift. SO that was good, and I was kinda pumped for the supervisor job. This means taht I get to boss people around, not dial on the phone and be more socialable. So she talks to me about the job and such, and tells me the other 2 people that will be trained also on it. These people have been working there for like 2 years each and I have been working there 7 months so this says how good I am at the easiest job ever :P.

So today my favourite person in the whole wide world came over. I am sleeping, well half asleep cause my brother just left for school so that was noisy, and then I hear Taking Back Sunday's song "This photograph is proof (I know you know)" the chorus is playing in my pants on the floor. So i quickly get up to get it thinking it will be brian wanting to go to the gym, but it was Alex, and she is like "My class is canceled so can I come over" I was like "Oh yeah for sure!" and she is like "I will be over in 30 seconds". So by this time I am still in my bed, so she comes over I quickly brush my teeth just in case, and because I do have morning breath. So we dont do much, she helps me clean up my kitchen and we watch some tv, and clean up some sticks in my yard. Romantic eh? Well I think it was, well I guess anything with the person that u like or are in love with is fun. Alex can really turn a boring task or two into fun for the whole family or maybe just us two. Haha.

I am wondering have you ever felt sluggish? Well maybe if you were just fat like me you would've felt sluggish. Well to get to my point of this random paragraph, I suggest anyone wanting to look hot to get a lady, you should go to the gym. The gym really gives you a tonne of energy (yes benj, a tonne), releases happy chemicals in your brain, and even gets you in shape. THis is a real good mood booster, self esteem booster, and confidence booster. Since going to the gym I am not really self conscience any more. Well I have a little bit or a belly, but still I feel alot better. I used to be like a 40-42 waist, not I am down to a 36-38 waist. I think that everyone should go to the gym. If you dont feel good about yourself the gym is the best thing you can do. You can go to pick up chicks, get ur muscles ripped like me and brian, or just go to be in better shape. I think if you are feeling down about urself and ur body image, you should go to the gym. But to get results u must go many times, over many weeks.

Time to go again, I thought I would do another pointless blog cause realyl I was bored, and some people like reading them. If you read them just write me a comment so I know that you are hitting this blog. I know it may be alot to ask, but me, Alex, and Benj have all posted comments. So Comment on my blog, give me ideas what to write about, remind me about stories to write about. So yeah.

I love you more than words can say, and I think thats cool!

Yay for subs, and nubs!

Okay so you think this post is gonna be lame cause really, who knows what subs and nubs are. Rightfully so, and who cares right. But if you didnt have these two things then nothing would be fun. You need fun in your life to keep it real. If you didnt have anything fun in your life, then what would it be. All you really need is the Lord in your life, but the Lord puts things like subs and nubs in your life to make it fun.

So today Justin Egger, a guy from the worst job ever (Western Wats) installed my subs for me. Me and my dad had the sub box made by ourselves. After replacing the amp, and borrowing it from him we finally got these 2 8inch subwoofers kicking. These "subs" as stated in the title, are awesome. They pound as well as 2 12 inchers. They are really good, and sound better. I had to wait for like a month for them to be in, as I bought them with money from my family for my birthday it was well worth the wait.

As for Nubs, these come in all shapes and sizes, and are as numerous as long as young boys are being created by loving parents. These snot nose punks play computer and xbox games and suck at them. They are essentially called "newbies" as being new to the game, but then you get into even slangier slang which produces nubs. These nubs suck at all the games, and you can p'wn them. P'wning is when u can pawn them like pieces of pawns in a chess game, and own them in the game. THis is a great way to boost up self confidence on these types of games. You need thse in halo 2 to have alot of fun. Nubs are the funnest to kill cause they are the dumbest, and dont understand how I can kill them so quick.

These two things usually make me happy, and I am usually happen except when my gf is upset or sad, and when I have to work. These things if you dont have you should really try atleast once. Get a pair of subwoofers, and get a bunch of newbies together. Bunch of punk ass kids, who cant do anything. Nubs are like my best friend and my worst enemy on the game of Halo 2, where me and brian spend countless hours p'wning our oponents and winning game after game. Brian does the killing and I do the shock troop. I may die more but I have fun shock trooping it, and killing people is not all its cracked up to be.

So i gotta get up early and brian is coming over to go to the gym after he is done work and then we are gonna go work our chest muscles. So if you are in lethbridge and wanna come see us, come to the fitness club around 10:10am. Its fun stuff had by all.

Dont worry, we are all dying anyways.

Summer Antics

So I hope you all had a good summer, this is the last post and day before school starts for younger siblings and most of my friends and just everyone in general. As you can see from previous posts, I dont have any plans for school at this moment, I know next year though I will be going somewhere.

SO I hope all of you had a good summer. I had way too much fun for more then one summer in mine. I hung out with friends, volunteered in Oliver BC (next to osoyoos), went camping for a long weekend and worked at western wats (the worst job in the world). It was all good, late nights, long days, hot days, fun times.

If you are ever in the area of Oliver BC, i suggest that you try and get to the Okanagan Gleaners. This is a place that makes soup mixes for third world countries, or places that need it. So me and my youth group, and my amazing girl friend Alex went. We worked with many of the regulars and a 20 year old named steve. We worked in 4 hours in the morning and then in the afternoon we went swimming, to the waterpark in penticton, and just took it easy in the afternoon. It was hot and some days smokey, and we all had a fun time. In the evening we ahd fires, and had devotions. It was very fun and I suggest everyone try it. There is free camping there and we slept in a prune tree orchard.

Also this summer we meaning me, alex, brian, kevin s, mike b, and michelle s all went to Writing on Stone. Kevin was really bummed out cause there was no writings on the stones. There was writing on some stone that was on the other side of the river and in this different area, but we never got around to seeing it. WE went floating down the river, wrecked a dinghy, ran in the hoodoos, kevin ripped the ass outta his best khakis, and we just had fun all around. The alright but kinda down side, is that my mom came out there to see me. Haha it was nice, she gave us money for the store out there, and we all got a nice treat. We got yelled at the first night by the park ranger, and had a good laugh at his expense.

So those are the major things I did this summer. I also went to a concert with my brother in calgary. We got lost many times in calgary, and almost couldnt get our tickets from the ticket office, but my name was on the order form on the coputer and we got a written letter from my mom and we also had her credit card. We had all our bases covered but almost didnt get them. It was good we saw someone from western wats there and her cousin and we were right in the front. It was so fun, but I got hit in the face in the mosh pit, and tried to push that guy over in the circle. It hurt like hell, but I got through it and he really didnt mean too. He also had a twin brother who was there and alot more sane then he was. It was a great concert but on the ride home I was nodding off, and I dont remember driving home from fort macleod to coalhurst. I tried everything like cold a/c on my face, loud music, but I still nodding off. It was scary for me and my brother, but we are home safe.

So that was my summer antics plus hanging out with friends and going to the gym alot. Been working out with brian, and hanging out with him alot. Its been a summer full of friends and fun stuff. This has been the best summer of my life so far, and I even snagged the best girl in the world. If you havent noticed me and alex vanseters are going out, and its been the best experience ever. If you want something to fill up that something in your life, seek the love of the Lord to fill your life, and try to find that someone to share yourself with.

Well I have to go cause that girl friend of mine is coming over, and I gotta clean up :P haha. So watch for more posts about stuff you dont care about.

Hasta Lasagna, I got my eyes on ya!

Worst Job of all time gets better!

So as you or maybe just Benj and Alex have read I did post about western wats being the worst job of all time. Haggling people for their opinions, and getting yelled at by black men when i dont respond back to them right away. So this "Worst Job of all time gets better" title that I titled this post.

So my boss tells me that she needs to talk to me in her office, I am like uh-oh flash backs to the Guesthouse and Superstore coming back to me. So we walk to her office, she is asking me if I am nervous, and I am to tell you the truth. She is a nice boss, but still bosses always have to man the wheel and do the dirty work. So she is talking to me about her trip and such its nice and light, and she says she wants me to be a supervisor at western wats. I am in contention with 4 other people for 2 spots which is good, but she feels that I have a great chance.

If you hadnt know supervisor at the hell hole of Western Wats would mean watching over people, monitoring them, running projects all that fun stuff. This would be a good job for me I think cause I am so into all the people there, good reputation with most, and plus that looks hella good on a resume'. So this might turn my experience from western wats from a bad one into a semi bad one, with bits of fun and more responsibility. Plus the pay goes up a bit, and the responsibility is what I like. But still i need a career job something that can shoot me in the right direction. Like I said my two biggest ideas right now are electrician and x-ray tech.

I have yet to decide, but that decision between those 2 career paths really depends on whether i find a job soon for electrician. Alex helped me write up a resume, and so I am gonna apply on tuesday with resumes in hand, and ambition and nerves. Its real nerve racking, applying for jobs at places taht you know will probably reject you cause you are a first year apprentice. Even though they have been in the same place when they were my age. We all have to start somewhere why cant they see this, how I need an employer. But I will update you with everything that happens. Its going down on tuesday so anyone that has encouraging words, email them to ironman88_@hotmail.com.

Dont cry, we are all in this together
