Month: August 2005

it begins…

the time has come for me to begin my journey.

for those that don’t know, i am planning on moving to Canada and with such a move, i have decided to work on a site to begin chronicling my efforts to move to our neighbours to the north.  mind you, this isn’t going to be an overnight move.  i’m still a good year and a half away (as you can see from the countdown on this page).  but when i move, it will be quite an adventure.

to begin with, i won’t be flying up north. oh no… i have a car i need to bring with me. so i figured if i’m driving, i’m gonna make a trip out of this! and a kick ass road trip at that!  during this road trip, i plan on stopping a quite a few cities, such as ???, ???, ???, and ???.  what’s that?  oh… right.  you see.  i don’t plan on telling anyone where exactly i will be going (except those that need to know for safety/emergency reasons).  it makes it more fun that way! (those that can read a map probably have a very good idea where i’ll be going)  😀

speaking of making things more fun, a person who i think will be of incredible help in this transition will be accompanying me (i hope).  i plan on flying my friend Jackie from Toronto (along with her friend) down here to Houston.  she has really been wanting to visit Houston so this would be the perfect time and opportunity for that to happen.  but it won’t be just here she’ll visit.  i plan on making my away around Texas, making stops in Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas.

like i said, this is still quite some time off.  for something like this, you wanna plan ahead and get everything in order (and more important figure out how much something like this is gonna cost ya).  but this is the start.  on this site, you’ll hear me rant about filling out forms, learning the metric system, and.  and as the time grows closer, you’ll start seeing more content, including videos and pictures of the journey.  as i said…

it begins…

dream chronicle #0508310739

i had this dream this morning…

it occurred in an airport (which i don’t know why cus i hate airplanes).  no airport i’ve been too. it was definitely imaginary.  while there, i met a woman that i started to talk to and got to know.   the only thing i remember is that she was heading someplace in some city i never heard or while i was heading on north.  for whatever reason, we both had to go to some kind of meeting or something in a field in front of the airport.   during that meeting, i saw the woman i was speaking to earlier.  we all had to go back into the building so i lost track of her.  i had to find her.

before going back in, i had learned that there was another guy looking for her as well.  i had to find her before he did.  yeah… i know… i just met her and i was already afraid of losing her.  how sad is that?  either way, i kept looking and looking, but nothing.  i even looked in a grocery store that was in the airport.  don’t ask me why there is a grocery store in the airport.  😛  i kept seeing the guy that was looking for her as well.  we both finally gave up when we ran into Fred Willard dressed as a security guard at the front.

he explains that it appears the woman we were looking for wasn’t the woman we were looking for.  the woman we were looking for was the person that was sitting next to her at the meeting.  the person we were looking for had left already.  thanks, fred!  way to really break my heart.  last time i watch on of your movies!

so, needless to say, it sucked.  for the second time, i lose the woman in my dreams.  but this wasn’t the worse of my problems…

just after that, i got a call on the phone from my friend Steph.  we were just talking and whatever when someone else came on the phone.  it was some guy with the same name as her ex-boyfriend, but it didn’t sound anything like him.  i don’t remember exactly what this guy said, but it was threating to say the least.  i kept telling the guy to put Steph back on the phone, but he eventually hung up.  i kept calling back and tried other numbers: nothing.

in a panic, i kept walking around not knowing what to do since i assume i wasn’t even in the same town.  then i kept hearing people talking about some kind of riot going on in Houston.  i immediately woke up and turned on the news and realized i was awake at that point…

and that i was late for work…  😛

KTAT FM – offering complete crap all the time

no… wait… that’s clear channel…

so, here’s the deal.  i’ve been told i have a voice for radio by some of the people i talk to on the phone at work.  i can’t figure it out.  maybe you can.  enjoy.  (it’s better than i sound today… 12 cartons of cigerettes will do that to ya…)

(warning: what happens to your ears after this isn’t my fault.)

wording with no meaning

i love sending IMs to my friends with just bizarre sayings that have no meaning.  for example…

Me: i’m tired of people like you always praising the goodness of dandylions.  you never give the daffodills the credit it deserves!!  for that, i curse thee!  CURSE CURSE CURSE!
Friend Who Has No Idea What’s Going On: ???
Me: that’s right!  be confused by my ever so confusing rant about nothing in particular!  give in … to it’s POWER!!!
Friend Who Has No Idea What’s Going On: Um, sure.  I’ll get right on that.
Me: great!  thanks!  just put it on my desk when you’re done  😀
Friend Who Has No Idea What’s Going On: Cool
