Wassup? Not Too Much.

It's been a little while since I posted, but that's not to say that nothing has happened. On the contrary, a lot has happened. The problem is that most of it is not that interesting. Charity and I are still searching for teaching jobs, but we're not having much luck. Right now we're weighing our options and deciding on our next move. Something will come up, I'm confident in that, but it may take more time.

Something happened recently, though. I sold my 1986 Mercury Capri. It has been known by many names: the Crankmobile, the Crapi, the Beast, but now, it's gone. Believe it or not, someone made me an offer for it and I sold it. I had often dreamed about restoring it to its former glory. It has a lot of sentimental value to me, since it was my first car and I have many, many interesting memories involving that car. Such as the night Keith Nemez and I drove off into the night just cause we felt like it or how it would break down every time someone tried to borrow it for a date. The memories. But, there's no sense in keeping a pile of rusty metal sitting around. And maybe, the fellow who bought it can get a few more years out of it, which would make me glad in the end. I have some pictures of the good old girl. If you're interested in seeing it, click here.

Today was Tracy Ens and Cory Adrian's wedding. It was great. Tracy looked beautiful and Cory looked like he was having a blast. It was nice. I got to see some friends I hadn't seen in a long time. Heck, I hadn't even seen Tracy in over a year. Sometimes, I find it strange to think about how many people I've met and friends I've had over the years. Tracy has been a great friend to me. Several years ago, we would go for coffee often and talk a lot on the long drives back home from college. But, as time passes, you start to go in different directions from people. That's not a bad thing. It's not even always a sad thing. It just happens. The only real sad thing is when you burn your bridges and ruin your friendships. I'm thankful I haven't really done that in my life. I'm still friends with the people I was once friends with. I just don't see them so often. Sometimes I'd like to, but they are spread so far out. Some of my best friends live in Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Alberta, even Japan. Not too many are left around here. I'm not lonely, though. Not really. I do have some remarkable friends here in the Saskatoon area (even though I should do a better job of keeping in touch with them). Furthermore, I know that when I go to Nova Socita, Manitoba, Alberta or Japan, I have people I can count on for a good time of fun and fellowship. Also, I have Charity and she is the best companion I could ever have. Today was good. I felt like I was reliving old times with some friends. I hope to rekindle some of those connections now that I'm back here in Canada.

Well, it's been quite a day. Thanks for reading. Keep in touch, eh? Take it easy. Later.
