Shine On You Crazy Painter

The weekend is over and the bathroom is almost done
Thank god for that, our house is in shambles
totally the fault of Ikea
On the plus tho the finished product looks good
Silky Bamboo/ Cream of wheat
basically a brown wall and a cream coloured trim

Remember the tractor I have talked about in past rants
Well it's supposed to get picked up today and brought
to my mechanically inclined friends house for a fixen
I actually am starting to think the tractors cursed
We'll see if she goes

Saturday A friend of mine was killed in a snowmobile accident
Today It's in the paper
Kinda makes it official reading it
He was a hilarious guy
funnier then most
lived life at 900 mph
gonna miss the laughs out at camp
and the always new lingo
I guess the saying is true
Only The Good Die Young

Delicate Sound Of Thunder

This is a lengthy debate

The one where everyone has a theory

but this morning I bet everyone's theory was shot

You all know when you walk under a streetlamp

as you pass under it It goes out

Weird you say

well it happens to me all the time

but in particular this morning

2 separate street lights went out 2 separate times

normally the odd one will go out when I'm near it

timing? luck? energy to or from your body?

take your guesses

I'm miffed???????

Paint It Black

So today I have a mission, besides digesting the tuna casserole I ate

I have to find a good aptitude test online

I want to be prepared for the call, to take my test for pipe fitting

A test that has adding,subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions

Some basic trigonometry and a few word problems

It's been 12+ years since I did fractions or a test for that matter

Good thing I learned all that useful stuff in school

I used it when in my everyday life?

Winter projects

Doing round three in the bathroom at the two two six

round three of painting that is

Step 1 - fix and patch all holes

Step 2 - paint Da Primer

step 2 - 1/2 Tape around shower and non paintable areas

Step 3 - paint Da Walls

Step 4- paint Da trim

Repeat steps 3+4

Step 5 - paint Da Door

Step 6- Clean up and move everything back in

Step 7 - Hope Ms Doodle is happy with the colours

Also

I have another door I tried to sand for 2 hours on the weekend

a door for my porch, no luck getting the 3 layers+ of paint off

now it's in the backyard just screaming for a belt sander

That's a weekend project.

Till Then.........

The Waiting Game........

Hello Sports fans
An extra long weekend for me thanks to the flu
During the weekend I watched the Leafs lose surprised??
I also watched the Rangers lose
in a shootout, which is not that bad
but they still lost
Then I started thinking about the team names
Why are most teams named after a city
and only a handful after the state there from?
NY Rangers
Chicago Black hawks
Boston Bruins
Toronto Maple Leafs
Vancouver Canucks
and
Minnesota Wild?
Why could they not be the Minneapolis Wild?
or the Rolly(sp) Hurricanes
or the Miami Panthers
I was just wondering how or why they chose em like they do?

I also became a crazy eight's professional over the weekend
1 win 1 loss I would say that's semi-pro anyhow!
The cards were french to add a little spice to the game
I also learned how to play the meanest air guitar over the weekend
I got it free from my friend radmad

What was cool was yesterday I had to go to my old high school
talk about a blast from the past, wow the place has not really changed
anyhow I was there to pick up
pick up my transcript that is, I needed it for my new career move
All said and done I turned in my application for apprenticeship
Now I wait
I hate waiting............Sigh!

In It For The Money

TGIF
"They" say if you wish for something out loud
subconsciously you try to achieve that wish with out even knowing
I wish the pipe fitter job would just work out
there I said it.
Work
I been here 2 1/2 days this week
I hate it....feels like I never left
I'm also in a lottery pool here
so far we won SFA except once we each got $100
Gave the pool leader $30 today and I still owe em $50
I wish our lottery pool would do better.
I heard they are starting the No BS contest on Monday
I hope so cause I could use the cash
2 Months ago
I borrowed some cash from a friend
to pay for the safe return of my driver's license
(the one I lost for too many parking tickets)
I got to pay him back soon
odds are he's not worried about it
but I am , because he did me the favor

I have come to the conclusion I am
super happy with everything and the way it's going
Ms Doodle , friends, family, fun times, cooking lessons
the house, the cat, the plants , the new job prospect
the list could go on and on..In my life, money doesn't really matter
but for some reason it keeps biting me in the ass
The broke ass that is
It truly is the ONLY thing I stress about
I guess life's not that bad!

I was thinking about the duration of this blog
How it all started, how it grew
Did y'all know I was gonna call it
"Headlight Morning Glow" instead of "Drink The Kool-Aid"
The choice was clear and obvious once it was made
however that old idea popped in my head this morning
It all came from a song I heard 1000 times before
Here's a hint
"She said the best thing you can do is hang around for awhile"
No idea well I'm in a good mood today so I'll tell ya
It's one of my favorites

(Of course the solo-acoustic version is way better)
Have a Good Weekend!

My Baby's On The Level

If at first you don't succeed Try again and again

Always a few roadblocks to deal with

So I learned that high schools still out till Jan8Th

I need a copy of my transcript for the pipe fitter job

got everything else together except for that

guess they want to know that I graduated

Monday is the day I hope

Gonna turn in the application and wait

Then there's a test

Gotta brush up on my math

fractions mainly

I graduated many moons ago and the old saying is true

"Use it or lose it"

needless to say GONE

Scary

Started smoking outside now at the twotwosix

pain in the ass but the house smells better

smells cleaner and so does the cat

I must admit I cheated the new rule last night

but for 99% of the time it's a go outside kinda feel

A resolution if you will

Is it possible to have a "fan" of your blog

probably more then one out there

but there more voyeur readers

Unanimous or anonymous

I spent the greater part of the morning

thinking about where my money actually does go

there's alot of robbing peter to pay Paul type thing going on

I never took juggling lessons

I never miss a payment

I just don't have any cash left over.......ever

So I started thinking

Where does it go?

I got a new budget programme I'm gonna try out

Hopefully that will clear the zits on my face

or gimme something to do at work.

Put On Your Shoes, Hit The Road , Get Truckin

Happy New Year!
Well 2008 should be interesting
I have some "resolutions" of my own
First I wanna say this blog has been going for a year
give or take a week
Gonna keep it going as best I can
I will admit it has been tough to write everyday
Since my motivation is taking a blogging break
It Might be contagious
Today I'm gonna go down to the pipe fitters union hall
Gonna throw my name in for an apprenticeship
If all goes well I will have a new job
exciting and scary
Thing is I'm the best I can be right now
Gonna be making the same money per year as 5yrs from now
That is NFG
I'm broke now with no relief in sight
So I decided
I need to grow and Change is good
I'm gonna take a chance
After all is that not what living is about?
