It's 8am EST

And I've got about 100 hours (add three on Wednesday for time zone differences) until I'm home. I've got to shower and eat and help set up the trailer on the truck then we're outta here. I'll be back to civilization on Wednesday.

-Cya then

Watches and Stuff

I put my friend's songs to CD, so now I can sell the CD for him sort of as a salesperson... yeah. Oh! My Dad came home today with another watch from his boss. His boss goes through watches like crazy, and Dad always gets them used, from his boss. So today the watch came to me, it's all fancy with it's peace-sign hour hand and glow in the dark paint on the hands and numbers. I couldn't have gotten this watch a moment too soon, seeing how I've needed one since December.

Tonight, I go out for dinner. It's with my Mom and Dad and Dad's bosses family. Something fancy, or mexican. Whatever, either is good enough for me. Dinner wasn't supposed to be until late tonight, like 8pm EST or even later but... Yeah, it's a Friday and somebody got the bright idea that we should all go out early to beat the rush of Friday night diners. If that's the case, I might miss chatting with.. let's call her "jolie". That's a lot better than having to make up descriptions all the time. So if I go out early tonight, I'll miss chatting with "jolie" before she goes on her camping trip.

I leave at 7am tomorrow morning to "get the hell out of dodge", on my way back home to Canada. 4 days of driving, I'll be back Wednesday morning. It'll be a long drive, and I'll be missing everyone like crazy. Just hope there's electricity at the campgrounds we'll be staying at. I've got batteries that'll need daily recharging for my MP3 player. Oh, speaking of which, I've got one more CD to make, but I need all the music first... I'll go do that now.

-Songs that remind me of her

Ken Luellen - My Queen

There's this little girl I know, met her about a year ago
Man this girl is so fine; everything she says blows my mind.
(Yeah)

I think she's sexy, love it when she shakes her butt for me.
I think the way she sings is heaven; I've never met a girl so lovely.
I think we've got something, never going to give it up on nothing.
And I gotta let you know she's everything.
You've got to know that she's my queen. My little queen.
(Yeah)

She's so cute when she smiles, makes everything worth while.
Going to make her love me more. Going to love her all the days I can't ignore.
I can't ignore.
(Yeah)

-Rawk on

Days Go Bye

It's been 21 days since I got my first email from my girl in Winnipeg. 21 days... that's a long time. You can go through rehab in the same amount of time, right? Like that Sandra Bullock movie where she's in the clinic for alcoholism. What was the name of the movie? "21 Days" I think. Yeah, so it's been at least 21 days since the first email, but not since the first time I ever saw her. Nor was it the first time I talked to her. And now there's 11 days, 11 nights until I'm there, in her arms, or something.

I just put on a, uh, what's the word for it? Tank top, but what a guy wears. Not an undershirt, so it's not a 'wife-beater' but it kinda looks like one. Either way, it's sized 'small'. Go figure if there's still room for me to grow into it. Though, this is Georgia. Anything sized 'small' is really meant 'small on a fat man'. Mmmm, greasy chicken. My preference? Non-greasy, boneless chicken.

I've got... I think I've got roughly 38 hours until I'm on my way, out of Georgia. So today it's already too late to get outside and lay out in the sun. My tan that I actually managed to maintain for more than 3 days, is starting to fade. So I'll sit outside tomorrow, trying to darken myself. And again, when I'm back home in Canada. I've got to look good for my girlfriend, don't you know. Now that puts a smile to my face when I think of that. Big ass grin. Ear to ear. Mmm, 11 days away.

Oh yeah... got side tracked again. Happy times, oh yes.

A New Found Glory - The Minute I Met You

I would like to start off by saying
I had everything to do with it
You may think that I lie real well
You can tell that I'm holding it in

Never mind the time
or the spinning of your head
I could tell my life was changing
Since the minute I met you

And If I stop ever thinking of you
I'd probably choke on the words I never said
If I stop ever thinking of you
I'd bury my heart and fall back in my bed
And what a sight that'll be yeah

I will never tell you this
But I'm scared of falling apart
It may seem like I'm holding it together
But the weather is making it hard

Never mind the time
Or the spinning of your head
I could tell my life was changing
Since the minute I met you

And If I stop ever thinking of you
I'd probably choke on the words I never said
If I stop ever thinking of you
I'd bury my heart and fall back in my bed
And what a sight that'll be

All my friends surrounding me
Just cause you made it this far
doesn't mean you've made it

And If I stop ever thinking of you
I'd probably choke on the words I never said
If I stop ever thinking of you
I'd bury my heart and fall back in my bed

And If I stop ever thinking of you
I'd probably choke on the words I never said
If I stop ever thinking of you
I'd bury my heart and fall back in my bed
And what a sight that'll be

-And what a sight that'll be yeah

A New Found Glory - The Glory of Love

Tonight it's very clear
As we're both lying here
There's so many things I wanna say
I will always love you
I will never leave you alone

Sometimes I just forget, say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you crying
I don't want to lose you
I could never make it alone

'Coz I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that you're dreaming of
Gonna live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love

You keep me standing tall
You help me through it all
I'm always strong when you're beside me
I have always needed you
I could never make it alone

'Coz I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that you're dreaming of
Gonna live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love

It's like a knight in shining armor
From a long time ago
Just in time I'll save the day
Take you to my castle far away

I am the man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that you're dreaming of
Gonna live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love

-We did it all for the glory of love

Hum drum

I've got three days left here in Georgia, and today wasn't very good. Not that anything bad happened, I just spent the day with my best friend at his house, playing PlayStation2. I had fun today, except for the cloud of "you're leaving soon and you won't see anyone here for a long long time". It was like this once before, last year, after I graduated from Georgia and moved back to Canada. Hrm.. I'm looking forward to getting back to Canada, but I know I'll miss everyone here.

-Two weeks of happy days, coming up

Best Day Ever!?

That's how I feel about today :) I've talked with tons of people over the course of the last 18 hours or so. I've lifted a lot off my chest. Early early early this morning, I got to chat with a friend who's visiting in California. I can only hope I helped her understand her situation better. Then just an hour ago, I got to chat with my sexy significant other in Winnipeg. We cleared a lot of smoke, so to say, about expectations and feelings, etc. And this afternoon I got to talk to my best friend, and his wife. Well, it was mostly talking with his wife, but she really knew how to listen and offered some good advice. I just finished chatting with a highschool friend of mine who is doing very well. She's the one who I came to the rescue of at Graduation 2001. I don't know if I wrote about that here, but I might later on. And now I'm chatting with the same person I was chatting with early this morning.. or not :D she has to go now.

So I feel a whole lot better, now. The trip to Winnipeg is only 13 days away now, but let's put this into perspective because the days haven't seemed to add up -->
3 days left in Georgia. It's Tuesday now, I leave Saturday morning, early.
4 day drive back to Canada. So, Saturday all day, to Sun, Mon, Tues. That's 4 days, right? Back on 30th or 31st.
5 days in Canada. This is what got me. When I calculated the first time, it was only 2 days in Canada.
1.5 days to Winnipeg. The best way to end the best summer. This'll top today as the best day.
So now that I've got all those questions/statements lifted off my chest, I feel as if her and I are closer. Not that you, the world, needs to hear all this. We're taking it slow, it's sloooowed down. We're all matrix and shit, dodging bullets in slow motion. That's us. You can call me Neo, call her Trinity. Follow the white rabbit, y0.

-You make me happy

Not Much Going On Today

I woke up on the couch, for the first time in a week. My brother got back from Orlando, Florida yesterday. He picked me up a guitar pick from Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. So today I woke up on the couch at 8am, because my Dad was walking around doing work stuff in the living room and kitchen table. I woke up again at 10:15am which was late enough for me. I fell asleep early enough last night (before 2am). Today I had the Georgia girl over at the house, which will be the last time I see her in at least a year. Good enough for me :) There's only one girl I want, and I'm seeing her in 13 days and 14 nights.

I talked to "Henry", the guy I'm hitching a ride with back to Canada. He says that he may leave Georgia before Saturday, depending on how he's treated at work. Right now, he's over at "The boss man's" house, talking with him about stuff. I'm not saying I want to leave right away, but I do want to talk to my sister. Well, that and I'll be within free phone calling range to Winnipeg. I miss you :)

-Counting down the days

Party at his place

Tonight was the StarWars party that I didn't write about here previously, I think. I went (mostly against my will) as a Retired senator. I wore my grad outfit and painted my body blue. Fun stuff. I spent all night cooking fries.. I mean, uh, "Jawa Fixins". "Bantha Burgers" were also served. Drinks were served, as well. Here's some of what I can remember: Calmino Coke, Tatooine Vapor Shakes, New Spice Cola and more.

-Time to get some shut eye

Oh yeah, I got my friend's CD !!!!!! So now I can advertise for him in Canada and hopefully sell him some CDs!!! I'd say "You like what you hear? Send a money order to this address for this much money and you'll get a CD back in two weeks". Oh yeah, he's going to make it big time.

-Really time to sleep now
