October 07 Morbid Hold 'emLearned a new poker game... it is kinda morbid though, but it does
sound like fun... not too sure how people who are not playing (watching
from the outside) would interprit it... which could be a problem...
anyway... here are the rules: You're never too dead to play. Tombstone Hold 'Em is a live action, cemetery-based version of Texas Hold 'Em poker. Gravestones are your pocket cards. Pick your favorite graveyard, and go play your respects. The Tombstone Code Just about every tombstone can be turned into a playing card, if you know the trick. To figure a tombstone's suit, eye the shape of the stone: - Curved or wavy on top? It's the curve of a heart. - Flat on top? It's flat like the edges of a diamond. - Pointed or peaked on top? It's just like a spade. - Statue or fancy ornament on top? It's a club. To figure the face value, count the number of people listed on the stone. - If there’s only one person listed, look at the last digit of the year of death. .2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are what they are. .1's are Aces. 0's are Tens. So a gal who died in 1898? She's an 8. A kid who died in 1951? He's an ace. - For a stone with exactly two people listed, ignore the years of death. It's a Jack. - For a stone with exactly three people listed, ignore the years of death. It's a Queen. - For a stone with four or more people listed, the years of death. It's a King. So the big stones and the sepulchers? They're usually your face cards. Setup Choose a local cemetery. It's the only place you can play Tombstone Hold 'Em. Bring some coins or poker chips, a deck of cards, and a watch. At the cemetery, split your group up into teams of two, and divide the poker chips between the teams. Each turn, one team is the dealer and sits out the hand. The dealer lays out the community cards and keeps time. This role switches each hand. Next, set up your poker table. You don't need an actual table-just a flat surface to lay cards on, like the ground. Playing a Hand The main thing to remember is this: Tombstone Hold 'Em works just like Texas Hold 'Em, only backwards. At the start of a new hand, each team antes up two chips. Then deal ALL five community cards at once-the flop, the turn, and the river-face up on the table. Each team has 3 minutes to leave the table and pick any two pocket cards (tombstones) they want, to make their best 5-card hand. The only rule in picking your pocket pair is that teammates have to be able to touch both stones and each other at the same time. So you're touching one stone, your teammate's touching the other, and somewhere in between you meet. If you can't make the reach, you can't pick the pair. Claiming your Pair Before you run back to the table, make sure you've claimed your pocket pair by placing a single chip on each tombstone. Once a stone has a chip on it, nobody else can use it until the chip is cleared. After 3 minutes, the dealer yells "Last call!" and everyone runs back to tell what hand they made. If you're late back to the table, you fold. Best hand wins the pot, with the winning team is required to show 'em: take the other players to your cards and prove your hand. After confirming the winners' hand, everyone picks up their chips and goes back to the table for the next round. No Ties, No Duplicates In case of a tie, the first team back to the table is the winner. Each team sticks to the standard 52-card deck-no duplicates. That means if a jack of diamonds has been dealt as a community card, you can't claim another jack of diamonds in the field. Likewise, if you want pocket aces, you can't find two "Ace of Hearts" in the field-you need aces from different suits. However, if two or more teams report back to the table having claimed separate tombstones that decode as the same card (a king of clubs, say) that's fair enough. VARIANTS Real Tombstone Hold 'Em pros like to play with a few more tricks and variations. Solo Tombstone Hold 'Em If you don't have enough players to form teams, you can play as individuals. In that case, each player will need at least two chips per hand, to claim the pocket pair. Likewise, the individual player must be able to touch both tombstones at the same time with any two parts of his or her body. Tournament Play If you have more than one deck of cards and enough people, you can run multiple tables at the same time. Games work best with 3, 4, 5, or 6 teams per table. Teams can switch tables any time between hands. While you're at it, you and your partner can split your chips and switch partners any time you want, between hands. At the end of the tourney, the team with the most chips wins. Or put together a final table of the best teams for a high-stakes finale. Betting and Bluffing Before teams announce their hands, there is a single round of betting. The last team back has to bet first, second-last back bets second, and so on, while the first team back can see how everyone else plays it before deciding what it wants to do. Just one betting round, and everyone raises, calls, or folds according to standard poker rules. To collect the pot, the winning team must show its hand, unless all the other teams folded out. Then it's up to the winning team to decide whether to take the table to see its pocket pair or to let 'em wonder if it was all a big bluff. Dirty Scoundrels If you're playing with folks you don't quite trust to leave other people's chips where they oughta, you can play the steal-proof, cheat-proof variation. You don't have to leave a chip behind to claim your pocket pair. Just make sure you remember which tombstones you picked, and stand by 'em until the "last call" if you want to make sure that no one else from your table picks them. Highly recommended for tournament play. Jokers If you find a tombstone of someone who died on your birthday, and you've got the ID to prove it, you can use it once as a Joker during the game. August 03 Kim-Jong Il shoots a 38...The greatest round ever played !
|
No lesser authority than Pyongyang Golf Club's resident professional, Park Young Man, together with Kim's 17 armed bodyguards, can attest that Kim played the full eighteen, all holed out, off the back tees on a crisp autumn morning in October 1994. "He is an excellent golfer," said Mr. Park.
The Dear Leader, faithful to the national philosophy of 'Juche', or self-reliance, has never had a lesson. Indeed, his heroic 38 under par score was his first and only round of golf! When he learned that this was a full 25 strokes better than any other human had ever achieved, far from being tempted to take the game up seriously, he decided that there were greater challenges to his intellect and atheletic ability, and has not touched a club since.
In search of an 'official' comment, we went to US PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem. Seemingly embarrassed by our questions, Finchem finally, and grudgingly, broke the code of silence, putting a very different spin on the story. "Yes, it's an amazing achievement, but he's just too good. We don't want him over here. We're lucky he's got a day job as a ruthless tyrant and a fully paid up international terrorist. Otherwise this man could be really evil if he was let loose on the guys on tour - he'd nuke 'em for sure!"
Yet, even without revealing his secret to the world, the little man with bad hair from North Korea has done the golfing world a great service. For as the debate about the impact of technology on the modern game rages, as journeyman pros wonder if they can ever hope to compete with Tiger Woods, and as experts predict that Tiger himself may lose interest in the game because of the lack of serious competition, we can see that there is no need to worry. Until today's so-called 'Masters of the Game' can shave substantially more than a shot a hole off their best ever scores, the ultimate challenge of the lowest round will remain out there. Knocking Kim Jong-Il off the top of the Dear Leaderboard will not be easy.Twisted F-ing Sister!
Every single song was amazing, especially We're Not Gonna Take It, The Kids Are Back, I Wanna Rock, and You Can't Stop Rock and Roll, well, every song that they played really...
There were a bunch of people carried off by the police, most of them didn't strugle, but there were the odd few who did.
Wish I had a damn camera, I would have taken a bunch of pictures and put them up, I was almost right at the front (1 person back from the fence that seperated us from the stage!). Woulda gotten a bunch of amazing shots from there.
Even got to shake Dee Snider's hand, and talk to him as he was signing my shirt!
Then I hung around a bit and played some carney games... I played the plate smashing game, where you throw balls at plates that are standing on a ledge. You need to smash 2 plates, and I kept on getting only one. Then I went over and tried my luck at another throwing game with "cats" standing up on a shelf, you had to knock 3 down... I wasn't very good at that one either. I then went to a game where you have to pop balloons with darts, the guy that was working there said even if I missed everything I still got a prize, and so... of course... I missed everything, I got a little fish as a prize. Then I played again, and he said that he would give me four darts and count each one as 2 pops. I hit 4 balloons and got a bigger stuffed animal. Then I went to the guess your age thing (while I was standing in line for the autographs some girls said that I looked 23, so I said what the hell...), and evidently they were right cause the girl that was doing the guessing was way off, so I got another stuffed animal. Not sure what I am going to do with the animals at the moment.
Anyway... gotta get some sleep, its 1 am.
Believe in Rock and Roll!

Political Satire
Work, Jeff Healey, and movies
Well... its been a while since I have put anything into this.
So here we go.
Mostly
I have just been working non-stop sometimes as many as 80 hours a week.
I also got to work nights for two weeks (12 hours per night). That was
ok took my laptop in and read the first Harry Potter book (I know...
DORK!), it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. We didn't really
have much to do during nights so it was good to have something there.
I
have also seen Batman Brgins (that was a while ago when it came out) if
you haven't seen it yet, go see it, it is an amazing film). I went into
it thinking that it would be another really bad movie based on the
comic book genre, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. I was even more
surprised by the new Batman, he was amazing for the part (Christian
Bale), very cold and unemotional, just like Batman should be.
I
also bought a bunch of movies these past weeks, I got The Godfather
Part 2 (still an amazing film), Cheech and Chong (sp?) Up in Smoke (a
classic), Shaun of the Dead (hillarious), Rocky (an amazing film),
Monty Python's The Life of Brian (now write it again 1000 times!),
Monty Python and The Holy Grail (Fechez la vache).
I also bought
some books, George Carlin's "When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?"
(very funny, even though it was quite crude at some points), and The
Onion news article collection from 2003-2004 (very funny as well).
Also, I bought myself a 20 Gig MP3 Player, I have barely filled half of
it with the music that I have.
Last Night I went to the K-Days.
That was pretty fun, I just sorta walked around looking at things (and
watching people fail miserably at the carney games), then I went over
to one of the stages where some guy was doing a Hypnotist act (not so
sure that he actually hypnotised them, but it was really funny none the
less). Then I walked over to the (what I call) Beer Tent (can't
remember what they really called it) to watch the band that was there
play for a bit (some local band doing covers, it wasn't too bad). Then
at about 8-20 I started towards the whole reason that I went there: to
see the Jeff Healey Band (pictured below). While I was walking over
there I saw some glorified martial arts (looked pretty fake to me, but
I was impressed with the little kids breaking boards), they made it
look like all they did was throws and stuff, which I know is not true
(I was in TaeKwon Do for a couple years).
When I finally got to
the stage, there were already about 1000 people sitting and standing
around waiting for it (I was half an hour early so I was surprised by
this). The concert started more or less on time, and he played a bunch
of amazing songs (Hoochie Coochie Man, See the Light, Angel Eyes, and
many more) with some of the best guitar solos that I have heard live.
He then let his band members play some songs (and sing as well) I wish
I knew what the songs were called cause they were pretty damned amazing
for songs that were coming from his "back up", even the second
guitarist took lead sometimes and played some solos, as did the
bassist. Then he stood up and walked out, but the crowed kept on
cheering for him to come back, and he did, and he played one more song:
While My Guitar Gently Weeps, which is one of the greatest songs that I
have ever heard (he did a very good rendition of it). He even stood up
and did a solo (which is pretty hard for someone who is blind to do and
not trip over anything). Then, when that was all over, I went to the
left of the stage and bought a DVD of another one of his preformances
for 25 bucks (kinda steep I guess), then as an addded bonus, he was
signing autographs, so I waited in line for that and told him that the
set was amazing, and he signed my dvd. Great times!
Keep on Rockin'

Jeremy Roenick Can Kiss My A S S
"They [the NHLPA] could have listened to the players who had an idea of where this was going - myself, Robert Esche, Jarome Iginla, and Chris Pronger...I really took a beating, a couple of guys took a real beating in February because we decided to do what we wanted to do and claimed that we should have signed that deal in February...If we would have signed that deal in February, in terms of what we're getting now, we would have looked like heroes. Right now we look like a bunch of idiots...The deal in February beats the [expletive] out of the deal we're gonna sign in July
Wow... so you guys look like idiots because you lost a couple million of your overpaid salary this year? Boohoo...
"It's unfortunate we had to go through a whole year to realize the [expletive] that was going on. We've hurt our league, we've hurt the reputation of our league and the integrity of our league by sticking up for something that might not have been the right thing to do."
So it took a whole year for you guys to realise that you were being paid way too much?
"If people are going to sit and chastise pro athletes for being cocky - for being suck asses - they need to look at one thing and that's the deal we're going to be signing in about three weeks. Pro athletes are not cocky. Pro athletes care about the game. Everybody out there who calls us spoiled because we play a game - they can kiss my ass....I will say personally, personally, to everybody who calls us spoiled, you guys are just jealous, and screw you guys because we have tried so hard to get this game back on the ice to make it better for the fans. And if you don't realize that, don't come. We don't want you in the rink, we don't want you to watch hockey. Period."
You get paid millions to play, others have to work 44+ hours a week just to make ends meet you spoiled cocky suck ass, even I do more work than you and I am only an 18 year old. Last week I worked 80.5 paid hours and got a mere 1400 dollars for it. I would give anything to get paid even a fraction of the money that you make for playing. Screw you.
"We might have won in 1994, the owners will win in 2005, somewhere in the middle let's make the fans win once in a while. Let's get the game better and get back on the ice and play."
From another part of the speech... I mean rant:
"It's the worst I've been defeated since the 1992 Stanley Cup playoffs against the Pittsburgh Penguins when we lost four straight...I think we all are to blame in the situation we're in...granted I really believe that the owners need to have a system that's gonna help them make money...I think the players are gonna make their money, they're gonna make a lot of money regardless, especially the top players of the league....but we have to have a system that's also gonna let the owners make their money, because if the owners don't make their money there's not gonna be a league to be played in....it's gonna be more than any sports organization has ever given up in the history of sports [the new CBA]...I've given $7.5-8 million dollars out of my pocket to try and get this game back on the ice, and a lot of guys have also."
Now, to a real person 7.5 to 8 million dollars would be a lot. To someone who has been making millions for years, it is probably not really that much, the equivalent of me paying 700 to 800 bucks.
And now because of their stupidity, the players of the NHL are going to be making less money than they would have been making if they had settled when this whole problem started. Thats poetic justice. By the way... way to commit carrear suicide there Jere.

Michael Jackson Aquitted of all charges, invites children of the world to a sleep over to celebrate
They based their decision on the fact that MJ is a “normal person just like the rest of us” , and that “he has feelings too”. Though the free seasons passes that the J man handed out to each of the jury members right before the case was handed over to them did not do any harm.
A quick recap of the trial (for those of you who didn’t watch the blow by blow on tv)
The prosecution opened their case with a good solid what if:
What if there was more going on than we think when he invited those children over at the Neverland Ranch. And… what if he did give them wine?
The defense countered with another what if:
What if he didn’t.
The jury took down notes.
The prosecution then brought in their first witness (Bubbles) who just made a monkey of himself and also made a mockery of the court, so had to be removed.
The defense then called Kevin McCallister… I mean Macaulay Culkin to the stand, who proceeded to redo that funny scene from the Home Alone, you know the one where he puts his hands on his face and screams. The defence then asked him if anything had ever happened between him and MJ, he looked over at Michael, did his trademark scream (out of horror), then said that nothing had ever happened between them. He then walked up to the jury, signed their copies of Home Alone and walked off with cheers erupting from the jury, and the audience.
The jury took down notes.
The defence then told the jury “Does this look like the face of a man who would be able to do a thing like this? I mean look at him! Ugh!”
The prosecution then used their what ifs as their closing statement.
And of course, we know how it ended.

Coicidence? I think not!
Star Wars
Evidently there was a last minute rewrite that saved it from going the way of the other two films, and for that I am thankful,as is George I am sure, because I am not sure that the Star Wars universe could have survived another dissapointment in the series.
But... for gods sake, what is up with the commercials?!? Do we really need Yoda telling us to drink Pepsi, or cars, or what ever else he is trying to push on us? Does GL really need more money did he not make enough with the other three movies alone to set himself up for life? Damn commercials! I wonder if GL even drinks Pepsi... he probably drinks coke products, its just that Pepsi paid him more so he went with them. He probably didn't even see the offer, his lackies probably just did it for him... ugh...

Poem
A King and A Friend
A King and a friend,
Slay’ed,
One in bed,
T’other as he fled,
For what?,
To become the despot,
Of the lands of Scot,
All for naught,
A prophecy,
Which was lucidly,
Taken in fallacy,
By the dame and He,
Two, insane,
A whisper campaign,
Attempts to destroy the thane,
Does but agitate his mane,
An unsightly irk,
By his close friend’s smirk,
His image a murk,
The seat its perk,
Here comes a sire,
The good Macduff and his hire,
Who fight fire with fire,
And exact their ire,
Suicide,
Of a poor maid,
Could cope with her trade,
Only with the blade,
The final strife,
Over a dead wife,
End of a life,
With the end of a knife,
-- Sean Sandy 06/12/2003
Work, Jessie and money
Well... I am an idiot... I just typed up the whole thing and then I hit the X and closed Firefox... bugger... oh well... here we go again.
Working at the refinery is kinda getting annoying... not to the point that I am actually getting annoyed at work... but it is just getting tedius. They make the three of us (Steve, Danica and I) do menial tasks such as sweeping, orginizing cupboards, and putting BBQs together. They seem to be in total dissarray when it comes to us summerstudents. Danica seems to be the one that is taking this the worsts I am not sure exactly why she is, but for some reason she seems to be getting pretty angry while we are working. Maybe its all the guys that work their making comments like "Did you break a nail?" and stuff... maybe its the actual work, I am not sure yet. Today we had to chalk marks on the pavement so that we could paint those lovely no parking lines on the road. When we were done chalking we went to our supervisor and asked for the stencils so that we could make straight lines on the pavement. They told us to wait until monday to do that. We then proceded to tell themm that the chalk lines would not be there on monday (they weren't really chalk, they were soap stone, which will probably disolve if there is any rain at all over the week end), our explination for doing it at the moment fell on deaf ears... bugger... oh well we will have to do it again... c'est, as they say, la vie
I called Jessie yesterday(and woke her up... oops), she seems to be doing good, though she is scrambling for work and stuff because she didn't really get any full time summer jobs for some reason (not sure exactly why not at the moment). Her uncle is not doing very well though, which is not really helping her sleep pattern. She goes and visits him a lot, which is good, but she doesn't seem to get a lot of sleep when she is over there.
On a slightly happier note: I GOT PAID!!! 400+ bucks for working for 4 days, that is more money than I have ever made in my entire life (sad but true).
Keep on rocking
--Sean Sandy
School's Out!!!
School is over!!! YAY!!!
I had four exams this time 'round ('cause I dropped Math 110... 50% is not cool on the transcript). For the most part they were easy
Physics 100 was the first one that I had to take... I went in there not knowing what the expect on the test, because last time that we had a test in that class, the teacher put questions on the test that we had not covered in class... for some reason she expected us to know how to figure them out. It is not a wonder that the class average for that test was 38%. This was the hardest one and I still have no idea how it went. I found out that the class average was 49% from Laura... hmmm... not good.
Next up... Psychology 101. It was pretty easy (I think), though it was harder than the last three tests that we had in that class. I studied a lot for this exam though so I think I did fine. I was in a competition with Jess on this one... I challenged her to get a better grade than me on this exam, in hindsight it probably wasn't that smart because she has beaten me on every single one of the exams in that class so far.
Next on the list was Physics 150 (Astronomy), it was very very easy, I was done before they had even recorded that I was there. This test had 80 multiple guess questions on it. It took me about 45 minutes (if that).
Finally, the last test was Computer Science (COSC 104 H)... This exam was pretty easy, but it took a long time (much like the teacher said) There were many questions that covered all of the stuff that we did in class over the half year. The only question that I had problems with was the first one, it was a question where I had to write a recursive program (one that calls upon its self until it finds an answer).
Now I am at my aunt and uncle's for the night, and tomorrow I fly out to Edmonchuck and then I start to work on Monday... I can't wait to get a good paying job! Its awsome, and I should have a bunch of money for the next year.
Anyway... summer is here, so why am I inside on my computer!?!?! Oh ya... because it is night time and I am leaving tomorrow so... there is no point with me being outside...
Rock on!
--Sean
Shave and a Haircut... 23 dollars!?!?
Well, finished school a week ago. I even managed to miss my last class... only because I thought it was at a different time (duh). Oh well... it was just physics... not really anything that important... its not like she can teach or anything (38% class average on a test proves that just nicely). They said that they were trying out a new method of teaching a course, with out the standard lecture format... Well... hmmm... I think that method failed miserably, but thats just my opinion (as well as that of many of the students).
I got a haircut this past week... now, instead of looking older than I am, I look a lot younger than I am (I also decied to shave, which didn't help :P). It really shocked my friends here (especially Jessie). Jonas, Jess and Jamie didn't even notice that I had shaved, which was really funny :D. They did a double-take, I have never seen anyone do that before, and Saturday I saw it three times!
We went to quiznos on Saturday as well, where I had a Philly Cheese Steak Sub, it was pretty good, but it was damned expensive(over 11 bucks for a sub (7.99), a drink and chips(1.79))... I think I will stick to Subway and Mr. Sub where the prices are much better. Tomorrow I start studying for psychology, I chalanged Jess to try and get a better grade than me, which might be tough for her cause I am actually going to study this time 'round ;-), unlike the previous times (I pulled off a 76 and a 70 without studying, which is a solid grade of B+ and B- respectively). Though I don't know what marks she got on the previous exams, I know she got what ever she did with extremely high levels of study so, not to be cocky or anything, good luck Jess! You are gonna need it!
Tomorrow I have to get up at 8-15 for breakkie... So see ya!
Rock On!
--SeanAssignments, Photos, and Lacto-hobos
Finally finished the Computers assignment, took me almost all day today of just straight working on it. Good thing that assignment 5 is a lot easier to do, and I am already done the first half of it.
Also finished the last Astronomy assignment but, since it is so late, I will be doing the two quizzes tomorrow morning, before my 11 o'clock class. I will also be finishing off my last Physics lab, which is just a graph that I can make on my computer and print it out. I like the end of this year, very little homework for once, and no rushing me to get it all done before the end of the year.
Jonas and I are going with Jess and Jessie to pick up their pictures tomorrow, well... later today... at 12. We are going with them because they got scared by a man who wouldn't leave them alone. They pointed him out when we were sitting in the bus station after we went bowling. He looked very "greasy", and not the kind of guy that you would want to be around. Evidently he bothers people all the time, and the police have to talk to him a lot.
Jonas and I are done the week of being "Lacto-hobos" tomorrow at suppertime, so I will be eating some meat finally after a whole week without. I hope that I don't over do it on the meat, and get sick...but hey... what ever happens happens eh? not really much you can do about it. Seriously though, it wasn't all that bad being a veggie for the week.
2 days of school left Rock And Roll!!!!
--Sean Sandy
Aliens and a Home for the Summer
Finished my last Physics Problem Set yesterday, it was probably the easiest one that we have had to do so far. I finished the whole thing in about 3 hours, then I handed it in before it was due (for once I wasn't in a rush to do so, it was good). We still have a Physics Lab to do, which sucks big time. I am not sure when it will be due, I hope that it is not due this week, cause I have to finish my computer program that was due yesterday.
I thought that both assignment 4 and 5 were due yesterday... but evidently when the teacher said Monday, he meant the 18th not yesterday... that is what I get for not reading the top of the sheet eh?
We watched Aliens yesterday, I have seen it before, and I still like it, its an amazing movie. It was pretty funny when Jessie jumped at the face hugger part, you know... when it was running around the room that they were in... good times.
I think I have a place to stay for the summer, and I don't think that I will be paying much rent, which is totally awesome. I would be staying in Edmonton... which is not too far away from where I would be working in Fort McMurray.
Rock on
--Sean Sandy
Final Cut
Watched final cut last night in Jessie's room with everyone else there (Jess, Jonas, Jamie, Lindz, and Matt). It wasn't a bad movie, but it was kind of predictable at the end. I mean comon of course he has one. The premis of the movie was pretty damned cool though.
Got up late today (11 am), then Jessie came down and said good morning, that was fun, with her it usually is. The reason that I got up so late was that I stayed up till about 3 am lastnight looking at stuff on the internet, I really lost track of time there.
Yesterday I accepted the job at Shell, 14.25/hr here I come! My phone is knackerd, it has stopped ringing, so I have to let my machine take everything, and then I pick it up if I am there. Kinda sucks, but oh well, shit happens eh?
Today I have to go sign up for the friday Unix tutorial. There is also a test in COSC 104, its open book, so I am not worried, shouldn't be too bad. But first, its lunch time so, see ya!(maybe I should get dressed first)
--SeanHmmmm...
Well I called the Shell person back today, and no one answered there, so I think I will be calling back again today, and sending an email as well. Didn't really do much yesterday, I just worked on my computers program, watched TV and hung out with Jessie.
The stupid program isn't working for some reason, and I can't figure out why it isn't. I have posted the program on Developer's Shed in hopes that someone has run accross this problem before.
I got a little help from the site (I just checked), but the help that I got doesn't make sense, so I guess that I will have to figure it out by myself, or I might have to go to the teacher and ask him for help.
Only two classes today! COSC 104 and then Astronomy yay!!! Also going to the gym to run 2K+, should be a good day.
Stupid alarm clock went off at 6 am today, evidently I forgot to reset it to 8-00 so... I was awake for 2 hours before I went to breakfast, not that it was very useful to be awake at this point in time, I just stayed in my bed listening to music and drifting in and out of conciousness.
Job Offer and sleep
Got a job offer from the Shell Refinery in Fort McMurray last Friday, they are willing to pay me 14.25 an hour for doing odd jobs. That is awesome, considering that I have never had a job before. I am calling them back today after I find out exactly whenI have to be back at Trent for soccer pre-season.
Slept upstairs in Jessie's room again last night. We had a lot of fun, until she got tired and went to sleep. For some reason, we always sleep better together than we do apart. I am not sure why this is, but even if I get less sleep, I am still better rested when I sleep up there.
Today I have to get coach Claud's number so that I can find out when I have to be back for soccer, then I am calling Shell to confirm. I get to work from May 2 till Sept 2 at the latest. I would make about 10000 dollars if I worked 8 hours a day and no weekends, but I also have to pay room and board, and taxes, and stuff so... I will probably only get to keep about half of it, which is ok with me, I've never had more than 500 bucks at any time, and now I will have 10 times that.
Rock and roll
