The Saltwater Room

"Time together is just never quite enough

When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home

What will it take to make or break this hint of love?

We need time, only time

When we’re apart whatever are you thinking of?

If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?

So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?

All the time, all the time "

Grad '09

Oh, my, word.

That is all.

No, I was lying. Terrible habit, I know.

I love you folk so much, and I am so blessed to know you. Not to mention getting the opportunity to graduate with you.

Our dinner was fabulous, and I can't wait to do further things with you.

With love.

A tale of two incredibly handsome men.

So, I actually lied, this story is about Josh and I.

(Which makes this a tale of one incredibly handsome Josh and sidekick. Bollocks.)

So, today started pretty well, got up a bit earlier than normal. Around 9:30. Got all ready for my day, you know how it goes. Around 10:30, Josh phones letting me know that he is on his way to my house so that we can drive my vehicle down to Juniper to partake of some sporty activity. I know, you read this and scream, "What! Matt doesn't do sports!" I know. I was startled as well. I played a rip roaring game of soccer. Even scored a few goals. Didn't know I had it in me.

After finishing our most satisfactory game of soccer, Josh and I departed. We stopped at McD's in Valleyview to get some drinks and a little lunch. Which was superb, obviously.

Afterwards, we decided to head for Aberdeen. Perhaps to hit some golf balls around up at the driving range on Aberdeen Golf Course. We got up the on ramp into Aberdeen, but there was a great deal of traffic in the way, Josh being a superior driver decided that it would be in our best interests to head to the Pacific Way on ramp. We were puttering towards home, when we saw a camper van type vehicle parked on the side of the road. Making sure that the person was alright, I took a closer look. A lady in her mid sixties was standing in front of the camper looking mighty distressed. I rolled down my window and asked her if everything was alright. She told me that her car had broken down, and I told Josh to pull over onto the side of the on ramp. We hopped out of the car and walked over to her. She told us that she was from the east Kootenays, visiting a girlfriend in town. She had no way of getting a hold of a tow truck, or of getting a hold of her girlfriend. Josh started to talk to her, checked some things in the camper. During this time, I phoned home to get a number for a tow truck. With the tow truck on it's way, Josh and I stuck around to make sure the lady was ok. A half hour after parking on the on ramp, the lady was back in her camper and heading to Canadian Tire to buy a new battery. It felt really good to help this poor lady in her time of need. Sweetest little thing. I regret not getting her name, really quite sad actually. I hope the remainder of her trip goes wonderfully.

After that excitement, Josh and I headed home, grabbed our golf clubs and headed to the driving range. My meagre golfing skills have degenerated significantly since my last time out.

Now it's off to work for seven hours. Oh boy, what a way to end the day.

P.S. 

I wonder, did anyone else see the hand of God moving today? He was certainly with Josh and I.

Well, alright.

So, something unexpected happened yesterday at work.

I got employee of the month.

Holy crap.

Also, we got new salads. A co-worker and I made a new snack wrap using one of the new salad dressings. It's practically equivalent to ecstacy. In your mouth. Impressive, I know.

Umm, not much else, grad's coming up. Nerves are flaring about life. You know, normal teenager stuff.

I'm leaving, goodbye.

It didn't turn out the way I had desired it to.

I've made a decision. I should have traded my ticket in Coquitlam and stayed there for the weekend. Just puttering around and getting into trouble.

I could tell you the story, but I would rather not go over it again at this point in time.

Ask me in person, I might be inclined to let you know.

In unrelated news, I am in my first black mood of the summer. Yay. At least I know that they are significantly less common in the sunny times of summer.

Tomorrow will be better. Isn't it always.

So, I keep trying to blog, but I don't want to.

I'm sure you understand.

I have no exciting tales to regale you with, nor do I have any advice to spare at the moment. This situation is most uncomfortable for me. Nothing to say.

Oh, yeah, filler time.

Ballroom Wonderings

I can see your mask,

It's burden

It's pallor shines on your skin

And it hurts you

You look sickly dearest

So lost and insincere

Lost and insecure

A dance, you dance

A masquerade of fear

Take my hand, my love

I will take you far

You're looking fine dearest

I'll hold you close forever

I'll hold you tight

There is a light in your eyes,

A glimmer of truth

A happy glimpse of future

Ensnared am I, the watcher

~Matthew McIsaac

Holy madness

I want to get my hair cut, but it takes so long to grow. So I won't. Ever.

I got a raise at work. A few days ago. $0.20 raise. Pretty sweet. Top of the raise...thing. Twenty cents is the most money you can get for a raise. Yeah, you want to work at McD's now, don't you. I also got my crew trainer manual. Which when I actually sit down and go though, I will level up to crew trainer. Another twenty cent raise if I do that. Which would be lovely of course.

Enough about my amazing job.

Herald park, holy bologna, I am so excited. There will be shenanigans. Oh so many shenanigans. Excited!

Grad is fast approaching. Along with responsibility and the end of our care free ways. ;) Maybe not quite that drastic, but man, it's close.

I have an exciting body mod plan for the summer, talk to me about it. Alex doesn't like the idea. Since she is silly. Hahaha, so so silly. =)

Picture time!
