The Annual OMGIHASNTDONETHISINAWHILE Post


Yeah, even though I'm the only one that reads this. Time for an update.

I'm about to start a new job tomorrow. It's just Walmart, but I needed a job for the summer. It pays right?

I'm also hoping to run a 5K on Sunday, which should be pretty awesome.

I think with the whole Twitter/Facebook thing becoming major, updating this blog isn't something I go all gungho on.

I went to the 2010 Olympics though as a famed "blue jacket" and it was pretty cool. A once in a lifetime experience for darn sure. Some pictures are in this post.

Love life since last writing, I had a girlfriend, but I had to break up with her after a horrible night.

SAIT is done. I got back from the Olympics and realized being a travel agent is not fun.

Also, I still work at the Saddledome and find myself being punished alot for bogus reasons. One of the supervisors is really just on everybody's nerves.

Stampede? Fuck that. I got fired at the end of 2009's Stampede, for possibly the most dumb & drama filled reason ever.
Tanya also got to run with the torch. :D

Wow... holy crap.

So, hey. I haven't even thought of this crap in like a year.

Let's start this off by saying that the Roughnecks are totally the 2009 NLL Champions BABY!!!



This season was a pretty crazy one for me. Running a fan bus (then having someone else take the helm), going to Edmonton for an away game, meeting people at the Champions Cup from Wingszone and basically making alot of new friends, and becoming alot closer with the players. To have it all finish with winning the Champions Cup was pretty SWEET.

So, I'm now at the Saddledome leaving the world of Cineplex far behind. It's been okay. It's frustrating getting to work the West Gates over and over, but that's out of my hands. It's not democratic there for sure.

I worked the 2008 Stampede as a Gate Attendant at Olympic Gate 5-12. I'm going back and it's gonna be awesome! Can't wait.

I'm also going into SAIT in the fall which is wicked. Travel and Tourism. Should be cool, they go on trips too, so maybe they will go to Europe or Asia and I can go, cause I'll never get to go with Mom and Dad.

Speaking of trips, we went to Varadero, Cuba. It was cool, except for the flights. Even though I'm a fan of flying, the plane seriously pissed me off.

Here at YYC, we didn't have any problems with Transat at check-in, however our plane didn't show up for like an hour after 10:00, and we had to fly to Edmonton. >:-(. Where does it make sense to do YYC-YEG-VRA? The other way, I could understand. So, that added about 45 mins to the trip ontop of 5 or so hours. It was a red-eye too which sucked. And Transat is cramped like a mofo. Seriously. Not comfy at all. And the movie was "Twilight" which also is fail.

The actual trip was pretty awesome. I made some great friends from Toronto/Vancouver/Ottawa. We partied it up at the disco and had to barricade a girl in her room. (When I think about it now, that was totally a fire hazard). Got stupid drunk. Swam with dolphins which was pretty cool.

Coming up I have Russell Peters at the Dome, No Doubt/Paramore at the Dome, WWE RAW at the Dome, and WWE Smackdown/ECW at Rexall. WOOT. Pike and Jessica are coming too, which is gonna be fun. I have great seats as well.

I have to find a job though, cause now that the Flames/Hitmen season is over (Thanks for failing Flames) I have only concerts to work, and that's not enough. I've tried everywhere. IKEA, Cineplex, Toys R Us, Shakers, McDonald's, Calaway Park. It's stupidly ridiculous.

Oh well.

I want to read some of the old stuff on here, so yeah... guess that's it.

Look, it's a blog from me!!

Hahaha!! I haven't blogged since Live Earth.

Since then (rapid fire):

I started school again with Japanese, Foods, Spanish.
I dropped Japanese. I flipped Foods to Block 1 and replaced Block 2 with Drama 10.
I replaced my spare with Dance 15.
Dance 15 has become my favorite course EVER!
Spanish 10, suprisingly difficult.
My grad ring will not come off my finger.
Kaitlyn is doing me a massive favor and getting me a shirt from Spice Girls in L.A.
I saw Hilary Duff again but this time in Row 2. I saw Troy and Ryan. Hilary even saw me during "Wake Up".
I quit the theatre, under VERY weird circumstances involving Chinook. Cineplex oddities.
I screwed SCENE out of 2000 points along with 1,100+ people on Facebook.
I'm going to Avril Lavigne.
I started volunteering at Canadian Blood Services. It's really fun. Last night someone put on their comment card that she was impressed with my service and dilligance (ME specifically).
I tried to donate plasma, but failed miserably. The first time I got sick and we passed it off as having a empty stomach, but the second time we figured out that it was the anti-coagulant. It was a good experience though and I learned all about the plasma process.
We had a party the other night for CBS at the Calgary Zoo. It was so fun. We ate so much and laughed a lot. They had those wishing tree things and I wished for "To get through this final Dance project... & Darren's plasma". BTW, this Dance project is ridiculous. I've got to leave a major mark in Lacey and Ruth's hands which is not cool. They don't get that either. It's a real test in emotions.

I don't know what I'm going to do tonight, I might go to LaserQuest to renew my membership and play 3 games (and get an application), or go to Chinook and watch Enchanted. But it will probably be Chinook cause I didn't realize that I didn't bring the application I already completed during the weekend with me. You think I would have, because this Dance Central duffel bag I have holds SO much.

Alright, so there is the bell. Probably blog during Spanish LOL!

Transfer to Scotiabank Chinook?

I found out last night that Chinook make $2.00 more then us for the exact same job.

WTF?!?!? And Dylan by some miracle got hired there.

There is so much to consider, as I get a real sense of family at Westhills. I really am thinking about it though.
