I am in Fact Awake...AKA...Alive

So sorry about the large gap in posts. I have kept meaning to get somthing up here, but havnt really had much to talk about, just been busy working (at work and at home), playing video games and doing oh so much driving. (back and forth to work, driving to calgary or edmonton for the girlfriend, etc)

But i have honestly felt bad about neglecting this realm, and have finally been called on it by a couple friends, so I decided to just do it.

the writers workshop that i have gone to a couple of time is starting up again this thursday, so i am really excited for that, i can pretend I have a social life outside of my girlfriend for 1 day a week for the entire month of February. YAY!!

Things are acctually going really well for me these days, in my life in general..besides being bored alot of the time.

I am getting into better shape, and i am now 100% student loan debt free (since the begining of the month), so all of my money is acctually MY MONEY. My girl friend is also getting into better hsape, although stressed about schoool., my mom has lost lots of weight in the last 8 months and her blood pressure is the lowest its been in a number of years. and the best news of i I got just on Sunday

I went to visit my dad, he is no longer going to the hospital everyday, nor is home care coming to him. The doctors are still a little worried about his lungs and the nemonia and that. but somehow, through all of the crap that he went through, almost dying and such a couple times, he is somehow cancer free. back in sepetember the treatments had no affect, so it should still be there and more likley futher progressed...but yeah, all of a sudden completly gone from his spleen

he is still very weak, and it is still going to be a long haul, and he will never be the same as he was, but things are going very well....so that is big weight off all of our shoulders.

and on one more note, i am learning a new worthless tallent , of whihc i already have so many( solving rubik's cube, juggling, unicycling, contact juggling, etc) i am now in the process to being able to rip Phone books in half....i cant quite do a whole red deer phone book. but if you were to take a big phone book and tear it down the spine in half, i can do that with pretty much no problem....so thats pretty cool...or at least makes a good party trick.


so there yo have it, an update, finally. hopefully they will become more regular in the coming times.
