Surprise! caught you off-guard!

Hello friends,

It's been a while since I last sat down to write in my blog and looking back I normally start my posts like this, I just can't seem to get into the habit of posting regularly. It makes it all the more special when the 6 or so people who read my blog get an update I guess It's so exciting and such.

I have finished my unpaid internship, it wasn't really all that bad and I get to be on T.V because of it.I was however a little let down because I expected it to be a little more informative maybe get more hands on experience or have a mentor showing me the ropes. All in all I got a taste of what the production industry is like and it is a job I wouldn't mind doing in the future if my career path feels like it needs to take a turn in another direction.

I have taken up a second part time job because the first one wasn't giving me enough hours (what can I say we are not called starving students without reason) So now I can only hope to expect that people downtown will recognize me as the guy from Booster Juice and the guy from Sport Chek. The new job is great so far and the management team seems to be pretty good which is a nice change from the management team I am currently working with. Another perk of my second job is the insane discount I get on a lot of product that I really really like. The downside and I guess there always has to be one I have become the epitome of a mall rat, I work at the 2 malls in the St John's area and there have been days when I have worked at both of them (it kind of hurts my soul a little because I despise both of those bastions of consumerism).

Have you heard of a band called the Pre-Raphaelites? I hadn't either but here is a link to their MySpace . Please don't get too attached to them because the reason I am posting about them is I went to their last show ever.They are a local band from St John's and a friend of mine dragged me down to their concert for a night of tunes and a dancing good time.I was not let down I had a rocking great time danced till I couldn't dance anymore and at the end of the night grabbed a set list for me and my friend as a token of my first and last time seeing them. After a quick search I found THIS which is where you can download their album for FREE.St John's has a multitude of great musical talents and I really need to get out to more shows before I see another bands Last show and fall in love with them again.

That is all for now I guess don't get your hopes up for a new post too soon, it will come when it is ready.

Later Days

I NEED to get away

My life makes me want to vomit.

Life recap word-vomit in blog form

blogging comes in a series of spurts, thus this begins a new series.

I haven't blogged since school ended so a brief overview since then:
~ I passed everything and had a pretty swell G.P.A
~ I spent my first three weeks of summer vacation looking after my aunt's kids
~ I am still working at Booster Juice and have a potential job at sport chek in the near future
~ I bought a bike which is in for repairs because it broke 6 days after I bought it
~ I am doing an unpaid internship for part of my schooling with a film production company (but it isn't as glamorous as you might think)
~ I had to think back to the Fergie song of the same name to remember how to spell that word
~ I have been reading a lot more lately which makes me super happy ( book suggestions greatly appreciated)
~ I am constantly tired
~ A bunch of friends have left for the summer and some have left permanently and this makes me sad
~ I read Tuesday's with Morrie Lenore and it was super sad but also semi inspiring at the same time
~ I can feel my sinuses starting to act up but I am telling my body that it is secretly not allergic to grass, dandelions or cats and that it should just relax and not try to kill me this summer.
~ Work is overrun with drama and secrets and lies and sometimes I feel like I am working in high school
~ I need sleep
~ more (potential) posts to come

Later Days
