The Briar Patch

January 17th 2014, currently was my last move. For anyone keeping score that is 14 moves in the 14 years I had lived in Edmonton. This time I moved to St. Albert. Also KTs was the single longest place I had lived anywhere in the last 14 years, so it was sad to go lotsa good memories there. On the bright side it was a crazy warm day for January. Like plus 10. The Frenchman, Bud and Diablo helped me move. Had a bit of a headache, the night before Tats had friends over that were in the living room until late. So even later Diablo came upstairs and we had a couple drinks and a last couple games of NHL hockey. But the day came and we were done early in the afternoon again. We did the normal thing and BBQd burgers and bought a flat of beer as she had some helpers too. However it wasn't like some of my moves. No one got super hammered, only Bud was actually there late. It didn't take long for me to be replaced. Only a week or two something unexpected happened. Bud moved into KTs. He...

Dogs are funny. They cannot communicate with a hello but they have mastered that simply with a look. They can tell you when they are hungry, have to use the washroom or when they just wanna play. They are more loyal than almost any human I have ever met. When you are sick they come to cuddle. I am not sure what humanity has done to deserve dogs. Cats I get why we have them. They are evil. They show no loyalty. They expect that they can shit in a box and you will clean it up.  Most of them don't come over for cuddles. They are the exact opposite of mans best friend. I had a friend say to me once, lock your wife and your dog in a trunk. When you open it a few hours later who is happy to see you? Pretty sure you know the answer. On top of that you can train them to do anything and they are happy to do it. To put there life on the line for humans. How many people can say they do that? They are just a great animal. I have had my current lil buddy for almost three years now...... Here is...

So I have yet to win the lotto, gonna say that sucks. Still not rich and still have to go to work. Maybe it is western alienation but why are the lottos always won out east? On the flip side I cant wait till tomorrow as I  get better looking everyday! My littlest brother is moving to Edmonton next week. For his first year of University. Now I understand when people feel old. I remember the day he was born. Moving in with the ole lady and a friend. Let it be written record I don't think that is a great living arrangement. The whole third wheel thing never works. It was what I did when I moved here. When we moved apart there was some bitter feelings. But I do wish them BEST of luck and hope they end up better roomies than we were. I put that on my brother though to be a good roomie as it is more on the couple, they can make things awkward..... The biggest thing in my personal life recently is my poor puppy was sick. Canine Pancreatits. My buddy is a 1 year old blue Merle sheltie. S...
