Totally Shameless and self indulgent post for today .....enjoy the view! Is there any better reason to go!

Home.....

2007-02-24T14:21:00.000-07:00

How excited am I to be going home next week! Even for a few days..... It confuses me though. I love Halifax with every last fiber in my body but I feel like a trapped animal when I am there for more then 2 months. Perhaps I could live there now but I am not ready yet, there is something about being home. Isn't there? A feeling of comfort, familarity and memories, but then again there is a desire to live a different life. I think I am doing that for myself right now. Banff is definately not the ideal place to live but it is getting me closer to where I want and need to be. I hope you are doing the same........Living for you!

Believe........

2007-02-17T14:48:00.000-07:00

Expect the unexpected..... even if it is at 7:45am and it lasts only a moment. Believe in it!

Congrats are in order....

2007-02-17T14:12:00.000-07:00

Congrats to 2 of my favorite people......Max and Mandy! Although I don't e-mail you nearly as much as I should I wanted to give you a huge shout out. Congrats on the wedding! These two are very special to me and I am ecstatic in this annoucement! After what I am sure was a beautiful proposal while cruising around Hawaii, these 2 just couldn't wait to make it offical. You cannot deny true love! I miss you guys. Wishing you a lifetime together and continued laughter for the rest your lives!

Hali Famous Locals working the Halifax Scene...

2007-02-17T10:02:00.000-07:00

During my daily peruse of the Halifax Herald I stumbled across these two names on numerous occasions, Rebekah Higgs and Spesh K. Although one is only someone who went to school with me. (Spesh K) Rebekah whom I haven't spoken to in years, always had a natural flair for preforming for an audience. I probably haven't seen her for more then a few minutes since junior high. I love that aspect of Halifax providing an outlet to let these artists, both very different in their target audience expose their talent. Check them both out respectfully at their ECMA showcases if you can grab a few minutes from your busy schedules!

From the Chronicle Herald:

...the Music Nova Scotia showcase is in the roomier confines of the Seahorse Tavern, with Rebekah Higgs, Steven Bowers, Jill Barber, Hotshotrobot, Carmen Townsend and Dr. Dfunkt.
If you’re not in the mood to bar hop, this is the perfect spot to park your keister.
Onward and upward, the next stop was the 72-Hour Jam, at the foot of Citadel Hill in The New Palace. At this point it was a mini hip-hop showcase, with Wordburglar, Spesh K and Ghettosocks tag teaming through an hour-and-a-half of boisterous and clever rhyme spitting. The crowd wasn’t as big as it could have been, but the night was relatively young by New Palace and 72-Hour Jam standards.

How much do I love that I haven't been in the newspaper since I was 4 years old. That was because I was getting a facepainting by a clown on the Halifax Commons! Loves it!

Much respected shout out to Spesh K. I don't know that I ever met him but his stuff is really good. Check it out: http://homepage.mac.com/baldassarre/Copernicus/iMovieTheater45.html

Very cool video, from doing a little research on the web I hear it's got quite a bit of rotation on MuchMusic!

Some his Songs can be heard as well on CBC Radio: http://radio3.cbc.ca/nmc/artist.aspx?name=SPESH-K&readmore=true - 18k - or great site on him http://www.urbnet.com/speshk/index2.html

or try googling him. Trust me it is definately worth your time!

WOW... just been doing some research on Rebekah on the web! I had no idea! Check her out!http://www.rebekahhiggs.com/index2.html and www.myspace.com/rebekahhiggs

I absoultly need to pick up one of her numerous CD's when I am back in Halifax! Is it odd that I feel proud, I really excitied to check this out totally wish I was able to go to their shows on the week-end!

Update: I have actually been able to listen to a few of her tracks on CBC Radio one, Honey you are going far! Her stuff is truely amazing. I am blown away by this girls talent! I can't wait to see what she'll come up with next!

Things to watch out for when your making out....

2007-01-06T11:10:00.000-07:00

Hopefully Nicole and Joel are safe...

I have just read a startling discovery......

Did you know that the bacteria that cause most Stomach ulcers in transmitted back and forth from "significant others".....What??!!

So next time your making out remember to think before you stuck out your toungue because you could get ulcers, herpes of the lip and stalking if your not careful who you smooch!

Cheers

Beware of the Make Out Bandits!!

And Never Make Out with Kevin Federline!!! Oh Brit what where you thinking??!

Knocking the boots but not without your socks....

2006-12-27T11:17:00.000-07:00

I've been procrastinating writing about my fab Vancouver trip and all kinds of fantastic things to blog about but this needs to be blogged! So as I am reading the newspaper from Hali-town on the web as I sometimes do (one must keep informed on the happenings of little Hali even if we can't stand to live there at the current time!). As it turns out we Atlantic Canadians (although I haven't lived there in years I am hardcore through and through) like to wear our socks whilst getting it on more then the rest of the country!

Sex in Socks?

It should knock your socks off.

But apparently not in Atlantic Canada.

According to a recent national survey, people here on the East Coast are more likely than anyone else in the country to have sex with their socks on.
"On average, it was 31 per cent across the country, but in Atlantic Canada it was 41 per cent," said Linda Whitehead of McGregor Socks, which commissioned the poll.

How much do I love it! I just wanted to state that most certainly I have had mind blowing sex with East Coast Boys and I most certainly was not wearing socks! I don't know that I could even had remembered my name at that time ! My favorite mistake! Just thought this little piece of news from our fair Herald needed a little bit more light shed on it! And the East Coasters needed a little shout out for being great lovers! Always use protection but a tube sock is probably not your best choice.

Is you Dog CARDA certified?

2006-12-08T18:53:00.000-07:00

So on my very busy day at work today...Yeah Right!!, I was looking up some wintery activities as I really have been avoiding my dear friend the snow like the plague! Anyways among many lovely things to do I discovered these poochies! What are CARDA Dogs you ask? Is this some form of Hypoallergenitic Dog? They are the Canadian Avalanche Rescue Dog Association. The are specially trained dogs who are search and rescue ready to find people buried under the snow in the event of an avalanche. I didn't even consider avalanches when I thought about coming here but I love idea that these loveable dogs are the key part to the rescue operation. You can take a specialist course and then you and your dog are on call in case of trouble. Well I do have my heart set on a lovely Pomeranian, someday I think I may just have to consider a larger dog so I can volunteer for avalanche rescue. So if your ever(hope you never are but) buried under the snow in a horrible avalanche don't worry I'll be there to save you..........Okay you can stop screaming now! Plus did I mention that guy in the photo is kind of cute!

ETHAN!!!

2006-11-30T19:00:00.000-07:00

Actor Ethan Embry was mugged at gunpoint by two men Sunday night outside his Studio City home. TMZ has confirmed the "Can't Hardly Wait" star told police that two men recognized him from his film and TV roles, and robbed him and wife Sunny Mabrey in their driveway. The thugs allegedly stole Embry's wallet containing $400, a watch, and threatened Mabrey. As the men fled in a silver SUV, one eyewitness tells TMZ that Ethan raced into his house, emerged with a handgun and fired three rounds -- though it is unclear whether they were in the air or toward the vehicle. Police, however, refused to confirm this information to TMZ..

I don't care if he is married, he is my love and always will be!! For those of you who don't know, I meet an amazing guy who looks just like this guy and was completely smitten! Was back in the crazed rave days, I was so young and so much in LUSH! Last I heard he was an E-tard. Should like him up when I go home! I am sick y'all! Hope my Ethan is okay!

Thanks to Pink is the new blog for reporting and also TMZ.com

Today's trend is "Hypoallergenic Cats"!

2006-11-30T17:50:00.000-07:00

Was flipping through a magazine, working hard you know... When I came across this article in a Magazine. The title " Nothing to sneeze at"

The cat allergen is a potent protein secreted by the cat’s skin and salivary glands. ALLERCA has focused on naturally occurring genetic divergences (GD) already present in cats that do no harm to the cats in any way. The resulting ALLERCA GD hypoallergenic cats will now improve the health and quality of life for millions of cat-allergy sufferers.

While some breeds of cats have been promoted as having less allergen than others, scientists that have tested this hypothesis have shown that all cats, regardless of breed, produce allergens. The ALLERCA GD cat is the only scientifically-proven cat that helps those individuals with feline allergies and was developed using proprietary methods under ALLERCA's pending patents.

The first breed of the ALLERCA GD hypoallergenic cat is friendly, playful and affectionate. The ALLERCA GD cats come in all coat colors and patterns. The coat is medium-long with low maintenance and minimal shedding.

I found this so interesting as I cannot be near a kitty without getting the drippy eye(watery eyes) and the runny nose. I have always liked that kitties do chase a certain vermin out of the house. This now gives me a new hope that some day I might be able own a pretty Himalian. Too bad though because for now they cost a mere USD $3950 plus another $1000 for transport. He shall definately be an indoor cat! If your interested in finding out more check out the website: www.allerca.com

.....Can't believe it's this time of year again!

2006-11-25T15:28:00.000-07:00

Well I've gone and done it, I have put the Christmas CD on for the first time! It's November 25th, that's right only one month until Christmas. I am a bit disgusted and extremely happy as well. Christmas and I have a love/ hate relationship. I will not get to deep on how I sometimes can hate this joyous season. Truely I can't beliieve how quickly this year has gone by. Christmas always comes upon us so quickly even though we have all year to get ready for the season, we always seem surprised when it comes closer. One of most favorite things about Christmas has to be the Muppets. I generally have a marathon of Muppet Christmas Movies, to kick off the holiday season. I definately think that Christmas shows are one of my favorite things about Christmas. After listening to the CD for a bit now, I have to say Christmas music is also another one. I have also already bought my mini Christmas tree for the apartment. I have started doing my christmas cards, so I guess really I am not really procrastinating this year as much as I thought. This will be my second Christmas away from home. I am definately a bit sad about that but I do think it will be alot better then being on the ship for Christmas. It is just about missing family and friends. Well Christmas celebrations on the ship were okay but working on Christmas day as a seaday was definately not a joy. I still need to get my advent calendar, a tradition that my mom started for me and I seem to carry on. Why wouldn't I, it's chocolate! Yesterday was what they call "Black Friday", the busiest shopping day of the year for those of you who don't live in the mountains. I hope you got some great deals and I wish you all the best as we prepare yet again for the Holidays!
XOXOX

They are seriously the devil.....

2006-11-02T20:53:00.000-07:00

I have never been so obscenely digusted by anything quite like this pathetic excuse of a company. My currently bill says I owe almost $200 dollars....excuse me what the f*ck?? I don't even talk to anyone not to mention your incompatent sales idiot down at the Cascade Plaza, Maybe if he weren't so busy licking pu**y instead of working then maybe I might have a better opinion of you. No wait....I think the fact that the moment I call you "your systems are down" therefore your screwing my credit with your inaccurate book keeping!! F U Rogers...FU!

Some posts don't need words...

2006-10-29T09:51:00.000-07:00

Well maybe a few, these photos were taken on my way to work this morning.......

But that's america for you...

2006-10-23T20:30:00.000-07:00

From Moby's blog (From Bill Mayer).....

Wake up and smell the burning planet. The ice caps are cracking, the coral reefs are bleaching, and we're losing two species an hour. The birds have bird flu, the cows have mad cow, and our poisoned groundwater has turned spinach into a side dish of mass destruction. Our schools are shooting galleries, our beaches are cancer wards, and under George W. Bush -- for the first time in 45 years -- our country's infant mortality rate actually went up...

But that's America for you -- a red herring culture, always scared of the wrong things...

...Because we have an entire economy built on asking young people what they want, making the cheapest, sleaziest form of it they'll accept, and selling it to them until they choke on it and die....

...In conclusion, we can pretend that the biggest threat to "our children" is some creep on the Internet, or we can admit it's Mom and Dad. When your son can't find France on a map, or touch his toes with his hands, or understand that the ads on TV are lying --then the person fucking him is you...

That's some powerful stuff

The wanderer

2006-10-23T19:21:00.000-07:00

Where does my life lead me? I make decisions in the spur of the moment, they usually soulely are in the benefit of making myself happy..... Is this a problem or a solution for me? A wanderer I was called the other day by a non-influential person in my life. Just a random lady who I had a brief interaction with, called me a wanderer in a negative way. Should she have the right to comment on my decisions in my life without knowing who I was/am/ will become? On either end of the spectrum she made it her choice to state the obvious. I love what I have done so far and only believe that for the rest of my days I shall enjoy life as to be honest, you never know when you might not be able to live your life! Never harbour in your mistakes, I don't believe in the negative of mistakes as they teach us not to do things again. Are you happy in your current situation? Yes well congrats so am I! If not what are you doing to make your situation better? Do you let oppurtunities pass you by because it's just more convient to remain the same? Have the fire, the desire to have an influence. Certainly most of all don't ever let the routine in everyday life get you down, never forget to believe in your dreams. Back to being a wanderer, I accept it! Not in the negative sense but it the supremely positive influence. Was anyone close to me surprised to see me leave again? Not at all! Do I miss them more and more each time I leave them, of course but it is for the greater good. I feel very strongly that I do not surround myself with fake people. For this reason I'll never be alone. My friends are my most treasured possessions.

Just be...

Your Enthusiam is a Reflection of the Fire that Resides in Your Soul

You can travel the world
But you can't run away
From the person you are in your heart
You can be who you want to be

It's been a long time coming

2006-10-16T13:40:00.001-07:00

Well it's been a long time coming, I should have been blogging for a while now. If Joey can do it, so can I! Anyways been in Banff for just over a month now. Loves it! It is very relaxing and there is good people out here. I so miss my peeps at home! Wait hardly anyones at home anyways! I am finally going into Calgary on Thursday (so excited). Definately need to go SHOPPING!! Need some winter duds because we are suppose to be getting some snow today! It's all good, I have been waiting for it for a long time. I think I am ready. Also wanted to post a photo of the gem that I am working up here. It's really beautiful and not too many people know a whole lot about it! It's Ammolite, a 76 million year old fossil. It can only be found in Alberta, I have also included a photo of Moraine Lake from my trip to Lake Louise with Char, was so good to see her! Lake Louise was a total let down but Moraine Lake was totally worth the drive. We saw A Momma and Baby Bears, Coyotes..was so great.
