The Briar Patch

So summer is almost over, and I haven't ranted in awhile!! So I guess today I am doing a fluff piece about my summer so far. It hasn't been amazing so far. I mean it hasn't been bad at all just pretty meh! First off on the writing front my chance to publish with Channillo expired but when I have something good enough or that I feel good enough I will ask them again. Plus if I wanna release bi weekly I will need a hella lot of chapters done to stay ahead. I have been working on a 30 day writing challenge but it ended up taking almost 90 because of my shitty wifi..... Also I think I am about to go through years of writing in my office and finally organize it. I wanna say this, summer is the best. I love walking around the neighbourhood at night smelling backyard fires. I love wearing shorts, tees shirts and sandals and hellz ya I like watching the girls of summer! I like fishing, camping and boating. I like the sun being up in the sky up late into the night and not drivin...

DISNEY!! Of all the challenges this one is easiest to write. Cause I know exactly what I am looking forward to. The return to Disneyland. Come this fall I will be going back for a second time. I am 35 and cant wait to go!!! I first went last year, 33 and thinking I was heading to a gloried K-days where I might see some characters. Damn was I wrong! We had booked 4 days and I thought it would be too much. How long can you stay in the Kingdom a mouse built?? I will never ever doubt you again Mickey. First off I love Cali. And I love L.A. Just landing at LAX gets me pumped. Anytime I get to fly anywhere I am happy! Pac said it. I love L.A It is the happiest place on Earth. The customer service is the best in the world,the employees work their hardest to make it that way. One night my fiance had a blister on her foot. A park worker went and found her a band aid. When she said she was going to do that I didn't actually think she would be back! Any place with that great of custom...

I am going to take some liberty with this one. Cause I don't remember my 21st birthday. My first thought is this challenge was written by an American and 21 is the big birthday like 18 is here in Alberta. I do however remember my 21st birthday quite well. For overall party it may be the most memorable birthday I have ever had! SO I am going to write about that day and hell that whole weekend. I moved to Edmonton when I was 20. I moved in with two friends. (A couple. Never do that....) Anyways shortly before I turned 21 we went our own ways. I got an apartment just off 107 ave in Edmonton. If your from E town you know how lovely that place is! It was a shitty little one bedroom with paint peeling, a faulty lock and stove knobs that didn't work. I wont lie, I was a bit bummed out. The two of my oldest friends called. (Here is a side bar. They have been together for 17 years now. Married for 9. I introduced them when she was 17 and in high school with me and he was my boss and w...

Fuck lets be cliché but honest! My overused word is fuck. I will admit SADLY when it comes right down to it I do have a pretty foul mouth. I am not sure when that happened, sometime over the last 15 years. I mean when something really is annoying, for example you run three boards short build a deck. You hit yourself with a hammer, Sidney Crosby wins a Stanley cup I like the phrase Cunty Whore but then I picture my mother frowning and don’t use it often. People get so offended by words. I mean one of my good gay friends hates the word fag. So I don’t use it around him and find myself using a whole ton less in general. I have a couple friends who hate the word retard. One of them can tell the world’s most crude jokes. (What is the difference between a priest and a zit? A zit waits until your 12 to cum on your face) But is offended by the R word. Being a wannabe writer I understand the power of words BUT I can’t really think of any words that really offend me. Anyways that is a side tang...

What I wore today? Seriously? That is a pretty weak topic, but I guess it is a challenge to get one thinking. So Challenge Accepted. It is 26 degrees. I wear the same thing is summer that I have for oh the last 20 years! Board shorts and a tee (Usually a skate tee. Oh and that’s a lie, like every silly person I did wear jean cut offs in the 90’s. Thank fuck that went away.) Anyways I pretty much always wear the same thing in the summer shorts and a tee. I go have khaki shorts for nice important things but in general board shorts do me fine. Skate tees and board shorts. Today it is a white Hurley shirt, is Hurley even still around?? And hand me up Alpine Stars shorts. My “Little” brother is almost a foot taller than me, so I get hand me ups….And sandals, always sandals. Plus a quicksilver ball cap. I wish I was richer and could afford Crooks and Castles or Diamond but sadly that is for richer people or teenagers. Oh but please don’t think I am trying to recapture my youth or some...

Something I would say to an ex? Huh that a fun topic, I think for most people it is supposed to be a bitter topic. A long angry rant. For me not so much. I mean ya like any person I have had bitter moments and junk but the fact is I do still talk with my exes so really I don’t have anything juicy to say but I guess here goes what will be a short entry. First would be my high school ex. Now I know most people will say doesn’t count, we all had them no big deal and so on. Well I was with her for 3 years. All of high school. In my mind that is a pretty big time in one’s life. Let’s just say it didn’t end well. I was pretty hurt and bitter, for a while. I would think most teenage boys would be. But I learned some things from it plus looking back I do have some good memories. She also had some rough times happen but got through them so now looking back I am pretty happy for her. So the only thing I would say to her is Hey you had some cute kids! Congrats hope life is good to ya! Th...

Define strange traits.... Like to some people what I think is strange would just be normal and what I find normal could be very strange. I know one thing that I find strange about myself and then had to ask for what other people thought what strange.... SO the thing I know about myself that is strange is I cannot pee sitting down. Seriously.Like if I go into a bathroom just to pee and sit down to do it well it wont happen! Is that TMI? Here is a bit more I cant poop in public, if I am sitting on the crapper and you walk in I have to stop. So at work when I am "sitting in my office" if you walk in everything stop and I play on twitter some more. I am told I am too random. I often sing and random songs, right now I have been singing the Doug song from hangover and I haven't watched it in years. Also I sing kids songs a lot, I think that is from sitting with my little brothers and watching Barney over and over. On top of that I quote a ton of random shit in day to day ta...
