Well it’s just one of those busy days that I have today. I have to wait until 9am when the bank opens to go and get some money. Then do a lot of running around today to get some things, then make supper for my lovely wife and head off to work until mid-night. It’s not that I mind work at all, actually it’s quite fun. That is until tonight…..
In the lurch of all this economy crash, I got laid off. Long story short, I was working for a friend of mine in the Engineering field until there were signs of his business crashing. I was getting paid up to 8 days late, and I have a family so that is unacceptable. I quit, and started working at the movie theatre that I worked at before I was in the Engineering field.
Sooooooo….. tomorrow there is an international film festival here in town. The sad part is that I have to move 6 prints from one side of the theatre to the other with no realative ease. I have to wait until they are finished the last show, and move them on a special cart to the other side of the theatre. It sounds simple, but one little mistake could lead to me never getting home slightly after midnight. Soooo we will see how this goes tonight, and if something serious happens I will let you know on Monday.
Saturday will be a good day, kids are gone to thier sperm-donor of a “father” so Terra and I are alone this weekend, tomorrow is a benifit party for a lady with cancer. So we are going to get drunk a little bit. Should be great.
Well I see it’s been since June 15th since I made a post. WTF is up with that? I have no idea, but the main reason is for the transition onto the podcast, which may or may not being listened to. However I should at least make a daily write up in here about what is going on. So from now on I promise that I will make every effort to post. Everyday. Yes you can get the Crazy Cubicle on iTunes once a week, so I suggest you subscribe to it. If you want to subscribe to it directly I suppose I can help you with that.
Hey check it out there it is. Recently I sat down with Napoleon from Watch With Mothers (http://watchwithmothers.net/) and we had a great conversation about WWM and what they are all about. I think I am seriously their biggest fan, and that’s true because I do weigh an astonishing 375 pounds. Not that I am proud of that, I just wanted to take the opportunity to plug another project I am working on (See I am very self promoting which may or may not be so good.) I am working on myself (biggest project of them all). And I am going to chronicle the journey for those of you who are interested. I am going to chronicle it on WordPress at http://25pounds.wordpress.com/ and also I am starting another podcast to be done weekly as well here http://25pounds.mypodcast.com/ . I really have no fear to put it out there that I am obese, and really I am going to stop talking about that here. I am going to do video blogs sometimes, and mostly podcasts. It will be great. So check them out.
Ok before I go, I know Kanye is getting a lot of heat this week so I will lay off of him. He knows it was wrong, so mark my words.
Kanye (Feat Taylor Swift) coming to your ears soon. It will be a great end to a crappy story. But we all know Kanye is like that after all he is the one who said that George Bush hates black people or something like that.
OK Talk to you all tomorrow. Laterz CC fans, love peace and chicken grease.
Since it is well worth mentioning, there were two major championships handed out this weekend. The Pittsburgh Penguins won the Stanley Cup defeating the defending champion Detriot Redwings in 7 games. I love this story because it was great to see the best hockey player in the world get his first Stanley Cup, and continue to keep his young career off to a bang. Sid the Kid is amazing and I wonder how much longer they will call him Sid the Kid. But I watched the whole game, it was fast paced. And it was simply amazing. There were a couple of tense moments near the end of the game, like Detriot scoring a goal and making it a one goal game. And then a puck off the cross bar. It was great though.
Now last night there were was a boring game last night in the NBA, actually it wasn’t quite bad, but I don’t like Kobe Bryant. He may be good, but he isn’t that good. He isn’t Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, or even Lebron James. One guy that I have come to like out of it all is Dwight Howard. Man that guy can jump. At the All Star Game a few months ago he set up at 12 foot basket and he dunked in it so easy he could have set up at 14 foot I’m sure. So in case you have noticed the Lakers did win the NBA championship, and last night in LA, there were riots, and fires, and stolen goods. It’s crazy how stupid people get. So for now until 2010 when the Spurs win, I will end my recap of the worst final in recent memory (because the Lakers won, and I don’t like them. I would have given a better recap if it were the Orlando Magic, they would have deserved it).
Recently my wife and I got tattoos done. I’ve always wanted one, so I knew what I would get should I get one one day. Mine is Superman logo. I know it seems a bit geeky, or childish. But I have always liked Superman since I was a young lad. I actually have a Superman phone that rings with the music, a 3′ action figure, a kyte, a placemat, a poster, a bank, a small action figure, a watch, a pillow, lip gloss, a necklace, a hat, and now my tattoo. Great job by Joel took 2 Hours it’s really sweet.
My wifes tattoo took 2.5 hours. It’s sweet too. Check it out below.
It’s been a while since I posted last. Lots have changed since then, and I would like to keep it all up. Problem is that there are 3 areas of the web to check out the crazy cubicle. And for now it will have to remain that way until I can get them all together. So for now I am going to update you on the new ways to check out the crazy cubicle.
New Podcasts
Podcasts are available, and I love the fact that iTunes is so easy to use. You can check it out on iTunes, and there should be a new podcast there weekly. All you have to do is search crazycubicle and it will show up. Or you can click here -> http://crazycubicle.podbean.com and you can subscribe to the feed there. That is the other location of the podcasts as that is where I am hosting it.
I am looking to bring the crazy cubicle to more areas of the internet then porn resides in. Okay that is an impossible task. However I am just working with these 3 areas to bring you more cubicle. I am working on podcasts at a rate of about one a week. I am looking to get one out within the next day (possibly today). So keep looking, and check out my new art work. I drew it myself, scanned, and adjusted just for you.
Yesterday was pretty uneventful, if you think working 12 hours straight being uneventful.I wake up really early and hit the gym.I should do this all the time, and most times I have to beat myself to get up to go do it.If I honestly had to do it for myself I don’t think I could.But I made a promise to my wife, and kids that I would.And I have to keep that promise as a husband and father.I have to be honest.I can’t believe how far I have let myself go.But it is a long road back, and I am going to take it.
Anyhow yesterday was kind of neat.I will take the Piqued road, and make it so that no one knows who I am (except a few), and change the names in the stories.I am at a place in Northern Sask, that is all I can say about that.I am working at a mine.There is another engineer who is from the same town as I am, I will be calling him Benjamin Grimm.There is also Kid Rock, and Red Bull.For now most of my day yesterday was with Kid Rock, and Red Bull.Kid Rock works well for him, he is the youngest, looks sorta like Kid Rock, and is from NFLD (Newfoundland).Red Bull is from Sask, he is a native Indian.And an all around great guy.We spend the day playing with a sonar machine.It was really quite fun.Then I met Red Bulls cross shift who I will call….well actually give me a day on that one, I haven’t quite thought it out yet.Well I am off to work again, its 6:34 local time, and I hate the time shift.I would be at work already in Sudbury and when these guys still have 4 hours left in their day, I am usually done.I can’t wait for days like that.
Today is the first full day of me out at site.Emotionally I am just not all here.I am still at home with my lovely wife.I really hate being away from her.She is just that good baby.Anyhow, I actually hated the flight yesterday.And if that pilot is an indication of the class of pilot that this aviation company hires to fly people around, it’s no wonder that they are soley contracted out to the company that brings all of us here.You get spoiled flying on big commercial airlines like Air Canada, it’s still nerve racking, but at least when you are landing you aren’t wondering if you are taking your final breaths in this life.Now I am not kidding, I am an ok passenger on a plane.I am not too nervous, but I am a little nervous.I don’t go crazy and I don’t need medication, however I could have used some yesterday.Here I am enjoying my flight, and takeoff and air was good.Service was way better on this plane then the bigger ones.However we get to our first stop on the way to the mine, and as we are landing I am feeling the plane pitching left and right, and turning to hit the runway.Now I am no professional, but I could land that thing a lot better than that.I gritted my teeth fearing the worst, and nothing happened.However the slamming on of the brakes didn’t lessen my fear too much.We took off again, and we had another stop, this landing was a little bit better.The last take off was good.And then we flew off to the mine site.We are in the air for about 45 mins for this flight, in total the whole flight (which was delayed for 45 mins) took about 2 hours.Last approach, and pitchy, fuck I thought that it was the end.That we are going down, and my wife will get a call saying I am now runway splatter.Totally not cool, but to my surprise the handicapped pilot landed the small ATR on the big runway.
I spent the rest of the day in training, and then crashed early this time, it was about 9 o’clock SASK time, but 10pm my regular time.This morning I was up at 4 am local time so I don’t throw off my clock.I hit the gym for the first time in ever, but it felt good.Breakfast was great.Now I am in my room for my first full 12 hour shift.I wish I could sleep, I found out recently that I have sleep apnea, and I will need a machine for sleeping.Which should give me more energy, and possibly help with losing weight.So when I am at home I get to go for that test.Anyhow I am off to work, hopefully I get to post this sometime today.
Well, the time is here for me to fly away half way across the country. I don’t know what it’s like really to wonder what it would be like to live in a small country. Canada is quite big, really when you think about it, it’s like from China to the UK it’s really huge. And it’s all ours. So it’s like I am flying from somewhere in the east like say southern russia, and ending up in western / northern russia, it’s quite large. Anyhow I am going to work at a uranium mine for a little bit, it should be fun, I will keep you posted.
Small post today as it is family day a holiday in Ontario, check ya all later.
So I’ve not had any time to blog, and next week doesn’t look promising either. As it turns out on the 17th I am heading out to Saskatoon, then North of 60. I will be on a 2 week in 2 week off rotation. And the summer time in my beautiful city will be warm, I will be freezing my balls off. However I will be taking this time to use the beautiful facilities at the mine I will be going to, and getting in shape. So it will / should be good for that very reason. However I will miss my wife, and kids. That is the hardest part, and I know that will be hard the first flight out. She will have a hard time to drive home after that.
I guess the hardest part about being away for such a time is feeling alone, and seperated. It sucks, and really is hard on any kind of relationship. However (and this is mushy yes), love will keep us strong.
Short one today, and all week as I have to head out to another mine site, and have some fun doing the JHSC stuff that I need to do. Should be fun, YEAH!!!
Thursday night is the reason I hadn’t posted on Friday. I went for a sleep test on Thursday night at the hospital. The wires they hookup to you make you feel like you are invovled in alien abduction investigations or something of that nature. So you have to sleep whilst having 100 cables running from various parts of your body (I’m actually suprised they didn’t hook them up to my balls). Anyhow now you have to sleep with all these foriegn bodies on your body. And in a cold room, air conditioned (in the winter no less). I woke up and checked for my balls which in their bid to keep warm retreated for the evening. But the worst part is that my uvula was swollen. No word of a lie. It was huge. This has happend before, most times when I had to sleep on my back, but not this bad. Anyhow the long story short is that it’s still a bit swollen on Monday morning.
Onto other news, I am still gearing up towards my first pod-cast. Once it is out, I will let you know.
Looks like the Pope has irritated some Jews. The Nazi claims there were no Jews killed by Nazi gas chambers. Fucking liar……we all know they were you bastard. You’re evil, and you made Pope John Paul II cry.
