The eerie quietness of this small town which I am temporarily calling home is slowly becoming funny. Powell River is a beautiful town during the day but the sketchiest piece of land when it's dark. However I am proud to say Powell River knows how to party. Last night my roomates and I along with our manager's wife went out to the local hangout spot "The Westview" it was awesome! Live band, who might I add had some pretty hot band members, good cheap drinks, and fun wide age range people. We had a good time!
I am becoming accostumed to the familiar hellos and How's it going from strangers. It's weird how everyone knows each other, and how if one does not know where one's child is they don't panic. It's so funny, our manager's son did not show up for dinner time all his mother did was go outside in the front yard and yell his name a few times and then the phone rang. A neighbour called to say that her son was playing in the pool at their house. hahahaa.. my roomates and I were like man if that were in the city the police would've been called. There's no yelling a person's name and someone calling.. that's just funny!
I saw my first bus today... and someone knew who I was. The taxi's are old station wagons, the news of the town was the grand opening of Staples and the new dollar store! Things are funny and great! We walk everywhere, the rain doesn't bother us too much. The sun is freakin awesome when we get it.
Small town life however is just too slow for my taste. I'm so used to having so much to do, and well if it's not sunny here in Powell River there's nothing to do! Things close at 5pm everyday! only thing open are the pubs. We drink and be merry on rainy days.
I am at the hospital now...nightshift. I am sleepy.
okay i have nothing to say right now.. i feel like ice cream.
until next post.

A Jumbled Thought
My first post and I sit here wondering what I should be spitting out. I don't enjoy HTML but I figure I should learn and stay in this game called technology. I'm sure HTML is actually becoming obselete but whatever. Anyways I came here to share where I am at, so here goes.
I recently got a message from one of my best friends. This girl, whom I admire to the max, opened my eyes even more to how cruel this world can be. She told me about a time, on a very familiar topic, that made her very angry. She told me how people wear these "masks" around certain people and when one person is gone this mask is usually removed. My best friend told me this person spoke unkindly about me, and that she was hurt by the words coming out of her mouth. This best friend stood up for me. She knows me well enough to back me up and defend me and I love her because of that. This masked person has always been skeptical of my being, and I told my best friend that I've grown used to it. I've grown accustomed to the negativity, I use it to feed my growth. Being able to see this negativity allows me to become more positive with my life because I don't want to be like this masked person. I know I shouldn't use that, but it just gives me that picutre of a person who I do not want to become and it helps. My best friend showed great loyalty standing up for me infront of the group and that sometimes is hard. Was it not the Lord who said that Peter would deny Him 3 times? It's difficult to do, be loyal when such a strong presence is near, or if a crowd might out number you. But my best friend did it. Why can't we all do it?
There are so many people who witness people talking behind a person's back but do nothing. It's difficult to get the words out right but I think it's better to get things out and let people know if they have problems with another person they should talk to each other face to face, don't use others to be middle ground for you to complain. Wow... even just typing I feel myself contradicting myself. See, we all are guilty. But we need to not only find a way to trust others but trust in ourselves and trust your thoughts. It's human nature to feel guilt... allow for it to help get the words out, once the words are out you may lose a friend but in the end if you were meant to be in each other's lives then it will happen, time will tell.
My best friend is amazing, so are my other 5 best friends. If it weren't for them I don't know where I would be right now. We had our drama countless times but these people are a blessing to my life and I thank the Lord everyday that I have them in my life. Other than my family these 6 are who I trust with my life and I know God had that planned for me.
It's funny how I am speaking so spiritual all of a sudden. Yes I know I am very into my spirituality but I rarely speak with it so this is sort of new. hehehee.... I guess it's a good thing. weird but good! hehehee...
Hmm...what else to I want to say, I've recently met this person who just always makes me smile. No matter what type of interaction I get with this person wheather it be a poke on facebook, an msn conversation, a text message, phone call and/or in person I get this great warm feeling and it just lets me smile. I could be having the most hectic day and for some reason time slows down. I could be sick, tired, or annoyed but still I manage to smile. Right now just typing this little paragraph about this person is making me laugh... so I shall end it with a small little poem I wrote about this person. Thanks for reading everyone.. until next time.
"Wings"
Arms crossed, smiling.
I haven't smiled like this in a while.
Smiling is somthing that sends a warm feeling shooting through the body.
This warm feeling allows one to believe anything is possible.
Smiling is like having your favourite flavour of ice cream after a hard day.
The smiling that happens when I cross my arms this certain way,
makes me giddy
makes me laugh
makes me want to smile even more...it's possible!
Anything is with this amount of smiling.
I wonder if i loose the point of arms crossing would I still smile?
I think so...memories, thoughts of the time...
Right now I'm smiling... and my arms aren't even crossed anymore.
I like this simple feeling.
I'm going to milk this feeling as much as I can
Cuz I don't know if I will be able to keep this feeling.
I'd like to, but right now it just doesn't belong to me.
For now I'll hold on to this feeling
The feeling that is keeping me sane
The act of crossing my arms is stuck in my mind and I enjoy it there.
It will be sad once I have to give it back.
But I know it doesn't belong to me, so if I do have to part from it,
I will always remember how that feeling
Made me smile.
