so it has been a while since i last posted here before today.  A month and a half.  I’ve lost the drive to blog, but i guess i’ll try and pick it up again.

So i’m going to quickly re-cap what’s been going on for me:

  • i go to dance practice 2 days a week, wish it could be 3 but i work during one night of practice
  • i have done 3 showcases for popping in the last month and a half
  • all i can think of is dancing
  • i am going through a personal recession, cash is tight :(
  • i re-addicted myself to playing video games
  • my addiction: Call of Duty 5: World at War
  • i didn’t go to the club for most of january, ended up going on the last weekend of january
  • i have been to the club almost every weekend in february
  • my cousin from TO came to visit on Valentine’s weekend
  • I spent Valentine’s with my cousin, and Billy Fung, hardly a romantic evening, i’d say
  • movies i saw in the theatre:
  • Push
  • He’s Just Not That Into You
  • Coraline
  • Saw the Boyz II Men concert last weekend:  OFF THA HOOK
  • i bought 4 tall mirrors and set them up in my room so i could see myself while practicing popping
  • my so-called “friend” marek has ditched me several times already
  • i am looking for a place to practice popping on sundays, like a dance studio
  • i am bored with my life right now
  • i have acquired an additional 3GB of music, mostly funk and hip hop
  • there was this one girl i liked but it didn’t quite work
  • we are still friends
  • i think i need to start working out hardore again
  • i learned that the popping course being offered at the UM is of no benefit to me
  • i ended up teaching the teacher what popping really is
  • i still have not heard from my “ex”, no contact, not even in passing
  • sometimes i just want to leave winnipeg
  • i am excited the winter is ending
  • can’t wait for BBQ!
  • started hanging out with Lee again
  • it’s been years since we did
  • started hanging out with Keri again
  • it’s been years since we did
  • i’ve been thinking about teaching popping formally
  • but i know i’m not good enough or qualified to teach it
  • when i go to work i want to leave right away
  • i find that traffic is much lighter after 8:45AM
  • i hate traffic first thing in the mornning, such a buzz kill
  • had starbucks once in the last month and a half

So i guess that’s all i’ve got for now.  I’ll try to update this thing more often (Sorry Gracie).

job fail and life win…. to MONTREAL!!

I’ve decided that if i ever lost my job, by getting laid-off or fired, i’m going to pack up, sell my house and move to Montreal. So right now, i’m in a state of perpetual “don’t know, don’t care” 

Because the headquarters of the company decided to move itself to the states, it has now been considered an American company, so its value is ever decreasing. There is a pay freeze, no raises, no bonuses, no nothing. So what incentive do i have to perform?

The combination of the pay freeze and my new decision of leaving winnipeg makes me not want to be the “model” employee. It’s like Office Space and i’m Peter, the guy who just doesn’t care anymore. I’ve learned all i can and i’m not being challenged anymore. I think it’s time to move on anyways.

I’ve also toyed with the idea of just quitting and moving my ass to Montreal. Why Montreal you ask? First and foremost, my nephew is there and i will have the chance to watch him grow up. Montreal is a wonderful city, not too big, not too small, and there are ALWAYS things happening there. There’s always a concert, festival, or celebration happening there. People that live there also seem more relaxed.
