Good to be back...

In canada that is. As you may or may not know I was in mexico for a week and a bit with my youth group. We had a great time building relationships, houses and even going to the beach. We went down to mexico primarily show God's blessings in our life and try to show it to other christian/non-christian families. It was really rewarding to see the thanks we got from our family that we built for. THere was 3 groups and we all built double houses which are still small houses, but better than what they had. We all made beds to suit the number of people in their house, bought them a propane stove thingy and even added electrical to the house. We had lots of work to do, but got our house done in 4 days. It was really fun to work with the guys I worked with. I may have pictures in upcoming blogs.

Funny story about my camera and why I dont have pictures on here, its because my camera got sand in it from the beach when we were in mexico. I put my camera in Alissa's bag, and some how the sand got in my camera, and now some of the buttons dont work and even the shutter/zoom dont open. Its quite sad. Also my billabong watch which I got on my 16th birthday and has been my best friend since then decided to stop working when it got sand in it. Oh well I already have a new watch from slave labor walmart. Good name for that place.

Other news Michelle my cousin who has been living with us for the past while and using up the third room in our house finally moved out. It was a mutual agreement to leave, and she is living at her boyfriend's cousin's house. It was kinda sad not to see her here anymore, but I know she is fine somewhere else. When she moved out curtis moved back upstairs, and we both got queen size beds. Its nice to be able to finally stretch out. I was sleeping on what I believe is a twin mattress forever. Have you seen how big I am? I dont even know how big a twin is, but its barely enough to hold me. SO that is interesting. Finally having my own room after like just about 2 years of living with curtis :S. Its been hard. He is so messy haha.

Yesterday I went job hunting. It was pretty disheartening as being the fourth time I have dropped off resume's for an apprenticeship as an electrician. The electrician/get my life on track bug was really wanting me to try again. So just as I got back from Mexico, I thought I am going to really try and get an apprentice so that I can go to school in the fall. It also helped the Triple M were being asses and putting me on nights still which means I cant go to church on sunday nights, go out for wing wednesday, and even go to Coram Deo. Sad eh? But this can all change. Anywho back to my disheartening time or was it. I go to about 7 or 8 places, and nothing. Everyone is hiring later, or not looking which is all their stories. But this time was different. Deltec one of the companies in the industrial section is looking for apprentices, and so I applied there. The owner (that is right owner) talked to me about my experience with electrical, when I can quit triple m, and about other things. He also wanted me to bring by some references, which looks very promising. This is the break I have been looking for. I am looking forward to going back to school and apprentice.

So that is what has been happening since January 13th, so sorry to keep you waiting benj...I know its been a long schlong time. Well I will have pictures of mexico and other fun stuff later guys.

How long it has been

Its been a while since i have posted. I have felt guilty about it, and my new years resolution was to blog more...and work out more and I have been doing one of those things. Blogging wasnt one of them, but I am turning over a new leaf, and I have more time to do it. I have this whole saturday off, alex is coming over soon, so I need to kill the time with something. Benj also prompting me to blog is a good reason.

So in the new year on the second of January I come to work and guess what the roof of my workplace is ripped off. So we come in and there is shit everwhere, pipes broken, natural gas leaking and yeah. It was a schmozzal, and we had to go to hangar 5 for work. So we go to hangar 5 and its like fricken sardines. You know sardines the game? its like that but working while doing that. It was very cramped and now we have a 3 shift rotation from the 1 shift a day work schedule. Its around the clock craziness and I have to work the 3-11 shift and it sucks. Have to change my whole schedule and sleeping pattern and have to try and get to choir at 7pm on mondays. So thats pretty interesting.

Also Billy Talent, Rise Against, Moneen, and Anti-Flag will come to lethbridge here in like 10 days. It is gonna be really awesome. I am going with mybrother who got the tickets for his bday. I had to pay for mine but thats alright. If there is a concert in lethbridge and its not rap or country I am there. So that is what I am oding. Think about me next week when I am at the Enmax Center killing little children in the mosh pit. Little children being Derek. If you see him kick him in the balls for me. Capeesh?

Sorry about not posting I will have more to come I am just bored of blogging and alex is over so I have no motivation to blog anymore. So I will blog tomorrow again guys before I go to work at 3. Talk to you all later.
