If anybody actually reads this.

You are cool.  I barely update it, but people still read it?

These last couple days I have spent time installing a CD player in my car.  This car is probably the most stupid car for what I am trying to do.  Drill this, cut out that, use a hammer there, break that, pry this.  It is hard work, I called future shop to see what they would do, and they guy said, I can’t really explain it, but for 75-100 bucks we will do it for you.   So I caved, I booked my car in to get it installed.  Then I just felt like I was giving up on myself.  So I went back out, half way done, and now I feel good.

It’s been a long time

It has been a while since I last posted.  I’m sorry that I have left my faithful readers in the dark for so long.   The other day I was reading an article about Scott Neiedermayer and Teemu Selanne not being sure about whether they should retire or not.  To me this is a joke, the season is already underway, and they are still deciding.  I don’t know why they have taken so long to decide.  They are not particularly old, they are still producing, why not play?  To me I think of it as, they just won the cup and they want their 15 minutes of fame to turn into 16 minutes.

It’s a nice day… If you are a duck

I heard that the other day when it was raining. It always rains up here. I think we have had 3 sunny days the 3 weeks I have been up here. I can’t wait to get home. Today we got really muddy at work, but it was ok, we worked hard and now we have a few days to just chill out. My cell phone is dead, so I thought I would write a pathetic blog. Apparently my dad is trying to call me.

Peace.

Hello Mudda, Hello Fadda

Here I am at Cigar Lake….

The days are long, the nights are short. I messed up my mouth at work the other day, but the nurse gave me Tylenol 3’s, so I think I will be fine.

My day starts at 5 AM when I get out of bed, go eat some breakfast, usually toast and coffee. Then I meet up with my crew, Mitch, Louie, Ben, Dana and Tony. We head to the site around 6, have our toolbox meeting, then fill out our 5 point safety cards, and head out for work. We install liner until around 10 when we go on coffee break, once done our break we finish up odds and ends from the morning until 12 when we go for lunch. After lunch we work again, repairing and installing more liner. We go for coffee around 4, then head back to work and finish up until 6, when we are off for the day. Smelly and gross we go eat supper together. Then we split up from there, I usually go shower, pick up some munchies, and head to the main camp where I log into the internet and watch some TV. I head back to my small room around 9 and read for a bit, then finally lay down for the night around 10.

Today we finished up slime pond 3, so now we just have a few more repairs and random things to do before I head home on Thursday.

If you want to know more, leave me a comment and I will answer it.

P.S. I went northern fishing the other night. It was fun. I want to go again.

If you are sitting at the edge of your seat.

Don’t, you will probably fall off.  I am up at Cigar Lake so I haven’t had much internet time.  Now I do so I will fill you in on my feelings.

Formula 1 getting fined one hundred million dollars for having papers that a former Ferrari employee gave them is dumb.

That New England coach who got fined a bunch of money for recording another coaches signals is also dumb.  Thats sports, you try to get the edge.

Cigar Lake is kinda boring.  Alot of alone time.  I did laundry today.  Thats how bored I was.

Against my better judgement….

I will tell you this story. Last night my dad and I were shingling his shed. I had a few hard hats laying around the house, so we decided to wear them, you know, to look legit. So we set up some make shift scaffolding, using this really sweet ladder, and a few 2×4’s. I was going to put a bundle of shingles on the roof so it would be easier. I climb up on the ladder and get my dad to hand me the bundle. Well, I wasn’t in the right position to lift it up and onto the roof so we sat it down, right on the edge of the scaffolding. Now this caused the end to sink, and the other end to rise, in a quite a big hurry. At the opposite end of the scaffolding, the end that was rising, sat a utility knife, blade out and all. So as the bundle of shingles sink to the ground, out of the corner of my eye I see this knife, flying through the air, and hit my dad in the hard hat. Wow, we laughed about that one for a good 5 minutes, when my dad said, let’s not tell mom.

Yeah, I’m living at home.

I finally clued in yesterday that I am living at home again. I have been gone for a a couple years, I came home last summer and left for Regina again. In 2 years, I haven’t done any housework. I haven’t had to. My mom has been so thrilled at having me home for a bit of time, she never asked me to clean anything. It was a perfect life. The day before yesterday my mom left home at lunch to go to work for the afternoon. She told me to dust while she was gone. I laughed, it was a pretty good joke, until she came home and was mad at me because I didn’t dust. Yesterday she made me vacuum before I could eat supper. Welcome to the real world I guess. The real world sucks.

What do we got in this world when it spins when it swirls

The title of this blog had nothing to do with the actual blog. It is just some lyrics out of a crappy eminem song.

I recently discovered the wonderful taste of Orange Obsession Milk. It is awesome, tastes like creamsicles.

My grandma is staying at our house for a bit here. We rented her a wheel chair the other night so she could go out. I have since mastered doing wheelies.

While I was doing wheelies in the wheel chair one of my friends text messaged me. This is how are discussion went.

Hey

Hi, whats up?

Not alot. just sitting around, you?

pretty much the same, just sitting in my wheel chair…

WHAT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN A WHEEL CHAIR

Wheelies

What happened?

I eventually told her that I was fine. It was a pretty funny 15 minutes of my life though.

Should Christians get tattoos?

While I was planning on getting my first tattoo, I was faced off by many people saying that Christians shouldn’t be tattooed.  Often saying tattoos were against the Bible.  Some people even quoted Leviticus 19:28 to me, “Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.’  Even now that I am planning on getting my second tattoo done, I hear it more and more.

Not being a person to just pick one verse out of a chapter of the bible and buying into it.  I did further exploration.   It turns out that there is more laws in this chapter that I think many people don’t pay attention too.  Often they make excuses for not following these laws, but it is still wrong for a Christian to get a tattoo because the Bible says so.  One time.

Here are some other laws that the bible mentions in Leviticus 19.

19 ” ‘Keep my decrees.
” ‘Do not mate different kinds of animals.
” ‘Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed.
” ‘Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material.

26 ” ‘Do not eat any meat with the blood still in it.
” ‘Do not practice divination or sorcery.

27 ” ‘Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.

Well, if you were to say a Christian shouldn’t get a tattoo,  I expect that you also only wear clothes made of one material, no cotton polyester blends for you.  I expect that you only eat steak that is cooked all the way through, no medium rare for you.  I also expect that you have hair of amazing lengths, and for you guys,  I expect awesome beards.

Personally, I don’t think that it is a sin for man to shave the sides of his head or face. I don’t think it is a sin for us to wear clothing of more than one fabric. I don’t think it is a sin to eat a medium rare steak… and I also don’t believe it is a sin to get a tattoo.

32 new emails

I have been gone for a while now, out at Waterton National Park, working.   It is sweet.  Everything rocks out there.   I came home for a couple off days.   I got back and checked my email. I had alot of messages.  I have a couple online groups I am in, I figured out the most effective way to get rid of lots of emails is to delete all the old emails because the new email has all the different posts in one super long email.

This isn’t the point of this post.

I finally got my first comment on my only youtube video I have ever posted.   It was an english project.  Watch It.   I was excited about this comment.  I thought someone actually liked what I put up.  Apparently not, because they told me where to get a hot date.

Speaking of hot dates.   I forget what I was going to say.  Shoot.
