9:14 pm	Went to vegas again for 4 days at the end of august . was a pretty good trip . Went down with around 15+ people for a friends stag and stagette . We left from Coquitlam at 7:30 and Blitzed for the boarder at aldergrove where we spent an hour southbound, which for a friday morning on labour day is pretty good . After the boarder I got a full tank of gas for 89 bucks USD ( 130 litres ) and we headed for bellis fair for some shopping before the flight. Got myself a nice watch and some DVD's . Lucky I had been before to vegas at this time of year or I would have been in trouble cause it was dam hot - 41C ! Only really got smashed on the friday night the other night i was drunk for sure but not to the same level as friday . Saturday after waking up at 6:20 ( stupid internal clock set on work mode ! ) i tossed till 9:40 and then went down to the pool and tanned for 4 hours .. getting minor heat stroke in the process but a great Tan! Like i never tan unless i'm on vacation cause its just so many other things i would rather do here then tan . But when i actually decide to tan i tan amazing , Even and nicely goldened which is really good cause I was on some pretty hardcore Meds that yellowed my skin and that ws before the huge allergic reaction i had to them where my body was covered with like 3000 + hives that luckily went away like horus before i left ( thanks you Anti-histemines !). The strip club that we went to in Las vegas for the stag was simply Unbelievable ! I have never been in a place that was soo nice ! And not like nice cause of hte girls and dancers and stuff , they where nice though but the decor and the fanciness of the place was simply unbelievable . It was like Ceasars palace in there ! if you ever go to las vegas its simplily a must go . Current Mood: calm Current Music: Billy talent - Navy song (Comment on this)

9:51 pm	I am Dave , Full on Stairguy Well Franco , My boss has fucked his back up good . REAL good . Xrays physio and meds . If he has a herniated disc then hes out for a good month That means that i'm taking on 100% of the installations . the last 2 days i have been working completely alone and have completed 4 houses on my own already . like i have been doing this for like 3 and a 1/2 years now but here and there when working on my own . Now its me only installing . Its kinda cool to do stuff that i have seen franco do lots but never done myself yet . ANd then do them just like he would and having it turn out good :) So lets here the good and bad. The bad - my hours are going to go through the roof Longer days cause its only me . I still am going to keep 1 day off aweek . I'm done with 7 days a week for this summer maybe i'll do another month straight next year. The good - getting like a 100% raise since i'm doing all the install. Going ot have to hide the money better from the government now :( I'm also looknig for warehouse space to start a shop finally . I know its been a while i have been talking about this but i really wanna do it now . beforei buy a house to see if i can make it . Cause i fi try it after i have a house then i can possibly loose my house if shit goes bad . but while I'm still at home i can risk it with out loosing everything. Bought a laptop for work too . to keep track of all my invoices, Pictures from work , and estimates for jobs as well . Its a pretty small but durable ! Its a semi Rugged meaning its Drop Shock and water resistant so it can be taked on the job site with out fear of breaking or something . The case is a Magnesium alloy meaning its 20 times stronger then ABS plastic( 99% of laptops out there ) CAn you believe its almost August already ? Summer ? what summer all its done is rain ! Bah oh well looking forward to vegas to get some much Needed R&R&D . Also had a GREAT weekend , met up with my old elementry school best friend after 3 years of loosing touch , then went to Marthas for her annual july house party. Saw some people i hadn't seen in a long time and also met some new ones. Should be an interesting summer :) Current Mood: happy Current Music: young parisians feat ben lost - jump the next train (kyau vs albert remix) (2 Comments |Comment on this)

8:37 am	Dust in a the wind Well i'm doing alot better . Like way better then i thought i would have done . I basically thought about it non stop for a month . Every day , morning, night so on . And i'm to the point now where i'm simply sick of thinking about it . I have pretty much come to the conclusion that it was a case of " Right guy , wrong time " Had we met 2 years later and had we had the communication peice , I'm know things would have been different . But its not 2 years later its now , Shitty deal but i got to live on . Had a date last night Just met for a coffee with a girl i met off the net . Nice girl but kinda ditzy and a tab chubby. No chemistry but it was good to at least get out there and be ready to start seeing other people for them , I went through a period where i would see sheena everytime i would see something that reminded me of her ( thats a tough part to get through ) After that hung out with Sab Maj tyson rayray and graham , played mad foosball and stuff like that , drank beer ate pizza . good times . Saw the new HP movie , and 1/2 through Goblet of fire . I will be caught up for Half blooded prince ! . Its good , very dark , almost feels like a batman movie . Transformers also rocked . Oh and I love billy talent too and music in general . Great for self therapy . I swear i must have scared some fellow drivers by my SCREAMING along to songs in my truck .

6:27 am	Little bit of closure Well I had a talk with sheena on sunday . we hadn' t spoken for 2 weeks and i had to many questions that needed to be answered . I relise you can't make anyone do what you want them to , they want to have to. She gave me a time when things started to go wrong back in mid march , she couldn't quite peg( or tell me maybe ) what when wrong exactly though. She did admit that she did love me at one point in that boyfriend way that she previous said never happened. This relationship suffered a HUGE comunication breakdown. She said that she started to pull away in april , I didn;t notice and if i did i accounted it to her new job and training that was stressing her out not that something was wrong with us , cause if it was i was hoping that she would have told me something. she said that the communication problems where her fault and granted most of it was i should have been more aware still cause it was both our fault i guess. Why do women always think you are pyshic ? A small factor of the relationship started on hte wrong foot cause she stated going out with me right after a bad breakup where she got emotionaly destroyed . I had no idea she was that messed up from it when she started dating me and part of the reason she dated me was she knew that i was a safe bet i guess. Other then that she says she not affraid of commitment just commitment with me cause she know that i'm not the one for her and i guess i have to respect that she thought it wasn't meant to be( i still think if he had the communication part that we could have made it work great ). I know she has already moved on cause i would bet my mitersaw that she has already started dating other people and i guess i should as well. She said that she also found her eye begining to wander in the last months . And i can understand that if you eye begins to wander and you begin to develope serious interest in other poeple then the one you with alot of people will go after that . But the eye always wanders its weather or not you act on it. I guess i'm old school or maybe i just value commitment differently . I always looked at that as temptation and also factored in the fact that someone new is fresh and unknown , but if you got past all that would you still feel more into that person then the one you are with ? I expect relationships not to be easy , I think if it is too easy there might be something wrong. The big thing about it is i guess is that in that pursuit of happiness i really thought i had found one of the "ones" and i guess the thought of it was soo joyful that i glazed over some of the problems that should have been addressed sooner . Being so close and yet being back at square one . I really think i'm at the acceptance stage now in my 6 stages , with trailings of depression.

5:54 pm	Wow Man ... I always said there are 6 stages to break ups . 1 - Shock 2 - Sadness 3 - Denial 4 - Depression 5 - Acceptance 6 - Recovery Now the funny thing is that i had a great talk last night with a good friend of mine , a real heart and soul. We talked about what i think went wrong , what happened and stuff . I don't believe in " the one " I believe in " The ones " cause in a world of 6.7 Billion people , lets say 1/2 are female . that leave 3.25 Billion women . I know its sappy but to think that there is only one out of that 3.25 billion for you is pretty absurd . Maybe she was one of the "Ones" but it was certainly not our time . Now i feel really good today. Had a good sleep , good day at work and spirits where up . Now i have had everything in my list of 6 stages in some respect . I was in shock . I was sad , denial that it was over , Depression . But i have accepted the fact that she doesn't want to be with me in that way right now . So does that mean i'm actually on recovery ? Or am I still in denial ? I know it would seem that only 8 days would be far to little to get over an 8 month relationship , But maybe it gets easier when you get older and quicker. Am i carrying baggage ? i don't think so . will i conpare future women i date to her , Absolulty , cause who doesn't compare New women to exs ? Some say it isn't fair but with out anything to compare to how can you relise how great someone is ? PLus i have sunday off which really makes me happy ! . maybe thats it haha Current Mood: optimistic Current Music: Elise Estradea - Insatiable (1 Comment |Comment on this)

5:41 pm	Well I'm single again :( . Don't really wanna get into it right now but the jist of it was like a drive by shooting . Totally out of nowhere . So yeah happened sunday night was offical wedsenday night . So yeah I miss her , And am totally confused and left open as that huge part of mylife just vanished . Funny how when you are in hte stages of recovery from break up how much you notice things that you never did before . For me its actually finding the meaning in song lyrics or listening to a song a hundred times before and then hearing it for the 101 time but its like hearing it for the first time you know ? . and its funny how many techno songs are about love and borken hearts too . take this one , never REALLY listened to it before btu it matches my mood right now Nicole Spomberg - Resurrection (Gabriel & Dresden Remix) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm at a loss for words, there's nothing to say I sit in silence wondering, what led me to this place? How did my heart become so lifeless and cold? Where did the passion go? And all my efforts seem like chasing the wind I've used up all my strength and there's nothing left to give I've lost the feeling and I'm numb to the core I can't fake it anymore Here I am At the end I'm in need of resurrection Only you can take this empty shell And raise it from the dead What I lost in the world What seems far beyond redemption You can take the pieces in your hand And make me whole again And yes i'm stealing this style of lyric posting from a munkie (4 Comments |Comment on this)

10:18 pm	Its been awhile ! Yup it has been awhile since my last update . Lifes pretty good . Its freaking cold right now with lotsa snow outside . My truck for being only 2 wheel drive does pretty good in hte snow as long as i'm working cause then its full of tools and metal spindles . the other day i went out to see Casino royale and i didn't have my tools in the truck and my rear end was a tad more squirrely , fun... but squirrely . Got good and sideways on one turn , lucky i have experience in drifting from drifting hte parts van when i use to work at Don docksteaders . Man those vans where fun and i beat the SHIT out of mine :) . Works going really good , very busy . I'm itching to open that shop though now as i'm not really pleased with how much i;'m making . I wanna move out and buy a house this decade so i better get on it . I have a girlfriend too now . 2 and 1/2 months and everything is pretty smoothsailing . Very happy . i hope i don't jinx it by posting on LJ . in the past as soon as i say " everything good " on LJ everything falls apart LOL ! Casino royale was a good movie but it didn't feel Bond to me . well it didn't feel New bond to me , you know ? Like it didn't have nearly the same amount of gadjets and toys like others . and didn't have some huge master plan like a laser that can vaporise the pentagon or anything . PLus the offical game of James bond is Bacarat not poker ( but hte pokjer was cool cause most north americans know poker and who knows bacarat ??!?!? ). They did stay true to the Rule of James Bond's cars as that Sweet DB-S astin martin didn't last longer then 5 minutes . Poor car . The intro was cool with all the Free running . Still have to go rent District b13 . as it was the first big movie to involve free running . I love beer. Carling Black label inparticual . Its good cheap easy drinknig beer . who needs a expensive import beer when the 15 bucks for 12 pack taste actualyl good ? Also in other earth shaking news I like coffee now ! . I'm acutally old enough to like the taste of it . maybes its just that i like tim hortons coffee ? 24 starts soon again too . Jack bauer is my hero !

10:11 pm	I wanna live my Next live backwards LIVING LIFE BACKWARDS You start out dead and get that out of the way. Then you wake up in an old age home feeling better every day. Then you get kicked out for being too healthy. Enjoy your retirement and collect your pension. Then when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day. You work 40 years until you're too young to work. You get ready for High School : drink alcohol, party, and you're generally promiscuous. Then you go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, and you have no responsibilities. Then you become a baby, and then... You spend your last 9 months floating peacefully in luxury, in spa-like conditions - central heating, room service on tap, and then... You finish off as an orgasm. I rest my case.

11:17 pm	Garfield I don't know if any of you read the Province Comics or are fans of Garfield but i am . Now It is true that for YEARS garfield has been the same predictable thing over and over but I will say i still enjoyed it . BUT , lately "Hopeless with the women "John Arbuckle Has actually started to date "liz" the vet. that he has had a crush on since like i remember reading in the late 80's . But to think hes actually doing it now is so heart warming to me for some reason. Sadly enough i think its cause it gives me hope in some sorta " if jon can get a girl so can I " strange thing. I also suspect that this means they are going to end it soon , kinda like finishing up the story . Well good luck John ! (2 Comments |Comment on this)

6:55 pm	Life and shit Ok So yeah whats new with the Dave man ? "The Doodamus Prime" as matt calls me . Well this is my 4 day off in a row for starters , Crazy i know eh ? Like me Dave , the Workaholic But no material is ready from the shop and the stuff that is the people are not ready for installisation . Sooo what did i do with my time off ? I Build a table and two storage Cabinets to organize all my LEGO into , now i only have to sort it all into the trays and stuff . That should only take a Year or two since i can't stand sorting for more then an hour and am easily distracted by Battlestar Galactica ( the new one ). OMG GREATEST TV SHOW EVER , like you might think " I don't like sci-fi " but its is really really good. I'm also easily distracted by DOTA , for those who don't know thats Warcraft III - Frozen Throne , Defense of the Ancients . Its like what Counterstrike is to halflife. Other news . My hands are almost healed after some intense burning and cutting action. I had 3 3rd degree burns on my left hand and i had 2 puncture wounds on my right hand . Both burns are healed but my thumb must have some sort of fogien matter inside because it keeps pussing up and refuses to heal . most annoying . I have been keeping polysporon on it but it still is being a pain , I might have to do another round of home surgery with my rubber band Trunikit and go digging around with a needle or a pair of pliers to see if i can ripe out whatever is in there , This time i'll try not to pull out any fatcells , almost made me faint last time , seeing my own fatcells . ( yes i'm "We Todd it ") My Silly fish "Plauge" won't eat , hes on a dam hunger strike for 2 and 1/2 weeks now . It acts all hungery comes up to the top ofhte tank , i put food in , he bites at it in his mouth but then spits it out , Swallow you Dork! I feed him top quality food too . Oh well "war" doesn't seem to mind as he eats all of his food. On my other tank " Big tail" my Massive feeder goldfish with low and behold , a BIG tail has cancer. At least it sure looks like it cause he has a big growth on the side of his body , He doesn't seem to care though looks and eats all happy. Strip my little Pleco although fed alot still is the same size as when i bought him . i Guess hes on a Growth strike , either that or hes a midget/dwarf fish. On the Forever Disappointing search for a mythical unicorn ( a Girlfriend ) I might have a breakthrough , I met a girl online named thesera , nice girl , nice hair , good job , good personality . Not sure if we have enough in common for anything long term but only after 1 date its always hard to tell , Further investigating might reveal something positive :) I should have a lego party one day, people can come over and build with my lego . Relive childhood stuff Played a wicked board game with matt and Marc last night too called " hunting party " most rocked ! Also somepeople bring out Hyperness in me , Mainly my Best friend Matt , " Lets go do some fucking stuff ! " Stupid thumb PEACE PS . if anyone has a working copy of starcontrol 2 let me know please I love that game.

9:28 pm	Still alive and kicking yeah me no update as much anymore , don't know why , i like to read other people stuff more then write about my own haha . Any way , been helping my best friend matt out alot lately with S.O. issues and his new places hes moving too . Camping May long Rocked , 4 days of Bliss with tons of people , Hot tubs , Chainsaws , Lotsa Beer , Steaks .... Mmm . AFter that i had only had 3 days off from may long to july long weekend , then july long weekend happened and i went camping again .Stave lake this time . Got 2 flat tires ( my tires where almost done anyway so i wasn't to mad i'm glad actually that i punctured my old tires instead ofhte new ones i got the monday after i got back ) Any way the one thing i have learned that Nothing beats owning a truck. Like don't get me wrong when its hte curvy road and stuff i miss my honda prelude , or when trying to find parking spots , or filling up at the pump . But you know , an entire year of that doesn't add up to one weekend of Trucking on the dirt road where cars can't go . Its worth it . I will have to cut polish my truck though now . later Heroes of might and magic V rocks too btw haha (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:03 pm	Parkour ! If I was younger and had better knees and no fear of killing myself . I would SOO learn to Parkour . Parkour is the act of getting from point A to point B though any way . if that means jumping over subway tracks or vaulting off of 1 story buildings . this is a clip from a moive or something but it gives you a good idea of what it is . Seems very Jackie Chanish some would say http://www.metacafe.com/watch/29618/run_escape_jump/ Looks fun .. or maybe i could just watch others do it haha (2 Comments |Comment on this)

So i as i was poking around in there with a needle i accidently pulled out some fat cells ........ that was something new . Fat cells are creepy too cause they are really sticky and are stuck to other fat cells so if you kept pulling on one it would keep coming out ., very gross . So i cut it wth a knife and stuck the rest back in .... Yeah home surgery is kinda gross . In fact i felt queez during it when i saw my fat cells , almost passed out .
