Well would you look at that. Today is the 1 year anniversary of when I opened "In Myself". Having just looked over some of my previous posts, I am absolutely amazed at how much has changed in little time. Things really have turned around - for the better, finally - in a time frame which was certainly unexpected.
That all be said, I took the time to assemble this short chart to show how things have changed. Even then, I simply cannot cover all of the things that have happened. In any event...
And lastly:
Blogging level: Then - high (nothing to do!); Now - low (lots to do!) :D.
-- Over and out
Ok, here we are. It's weekly catch up, and I'm absolutely burned out.
Evidently, I haven't been Blogging anywhere as much as I'd like since the arrival Christmas, but I hate to leave my precious online-diary (that's what these are folks - face the music) neglected. I don't even know where to begin to cover the last three weeks, but I'll do my best. It goes a little like this:
Hair:
My hair's longer than it has ever been before in my life.
HotorNot:
I once had a total of 17 double-match girls on HotOrNot.com and am currently speaking with five of them. Oddly enough, three of the five happen to be a great distance away from where I live. Whilst one of them lives in Vancouver (Mandie), the other four live in Calgary (Sarah - yes, that Sarah), two in Burnaby (Wai-Lee & Kendra) and one in Taiwan (Tiffany)
I recently got back in touch with Sarah -it's a long story - and have been talking to her about the possibility of flying into Calgary so that we can meet-up. Meanwhile, the messages between the two of us have gotten quite personal - not in regards to private life, but sexually. Not online-sex per se, but a definite tension. That's all I'm going to say.
Another girl who I just recently met on the site is one named "Wai-Lee". Thus far, we've only exchanged one email with each other, but let me tell you - big wow! I reckon she's one helluva of a girl. As she pointed out, she was stuck dumb by the fact that I not only had an IQ above ".5", but had something to say.
And the girl in Taiwan.... is just brilliant. She's not only very expressive, but artistic.
Meanwhile, Kendra's a Christian and Mandie is a complete video-game freak. They are all very different from each other, and I can't wait to talk to each one of them again.
Music:
Hmm, where are we here... Oh yeah, Rush and Porcupine Tree. 'Nuff said.
AutoSavant:
Just finished writing a new automotive article for AS, and having taken a long writing-break, it was an absolute pain to write. Took what seemed like forever.
Facebook:
I'm afraid to admit it, but I'm addicted to FB. I've been wasting countless numbers of hours on this site, and it's only getting more addictive as time passes. Not only have I've since long accepted my mother's invitation to be added as a friend, but we've exchanged a few emails - nothing of real importance - just a simple "Hi, how are you doing" kind of thing. Thankfully though, in contacting her, I've gotten her to post some old photos of myself (unknown age)
Oh, and I got my father to join Facebook too... (he's already addicted)
Miscellaneous:
I'm still looking to sort of my education, but my transcripts from Alberta have not yet arrived. It's taking a long fucking time. I suppose I'd better give them a call as I would not be the least bit surprised if one of those goverment hacks lost my request.
Over and out.
Wow - can you believe that tomorrow marks the beginning of the year 2008? That said, isn't it just hilarious that people didn't think we'd make it past the year 2000?
You know, this year's Christmas was just fantastic. And actually, the same can be said for the last several months. I can't say that I've had this much fun, nor this much happiness in a long while. Though I have my "down-times" periodically, I generally feel rejuvenated as an individual. And can you blame me? I'm 40lbs lighter now than when I arrived in Vancouver in late February. I look like an entirely different person.
But not one that I don't want to be. Funny though it sounds, I now feel as if I am the person I always wanted to be. Especially concerning how I look - I'm now confident - for the first time in a long time - about the way I present myself to others. I'm comfortable with my body, my face and even my hair. I've never quite been with my hair, but now after 2+ decades, I can say that finally I have a hair style that I am pleased with.
I like the way I look. I like the fact that my personality combined with my looks attracts a certain specific type of girl; girls that I not only find attractive physically, but have the brains to keep my intellectually stimulated. Sure, I'm not in a relationship at the moment, but I've since gotten more "Meet Me" requests on HotOrNot.com. They could all turn out to be nothing...but I'm always hoping for the best. I want a love to spend time with.
That all being said, I truly feel as I'm a different person. It's hard to explain if you haven't undergone a drastic transformation yourself, but the feeling is almost indescribable. It changes your perception of everything around you.
And yet despite my improved appearance, I felt as if I've managed to retain my beliefs and opinions on what-not. In fact, my improved confidence has do nothing but strengthen my enthusiasm and expressive character. I'm greatly proud of who I am, and will not change that for some one's benefit.
Additionally, I'm now at a point in my life where I'm starting to reassemble the shattered pieces. I'm going to get education back on track come the New Year, and that alone, is going to change my life.
I'm in a happy place both physically and mentally. Never in my life have I not only gotten more joy out of listening to music, but being in the public and talking to others. There's something to be said about that.
I dunno about you guys, but I love to read other's Blogs. Actually, I enjoy reading them as much as I do updating my own. I find it highly interesting to read those of people that I don't know. Here are a couple that I read:"I am a tragic hero"http://lolasneverland.blogspot.com/The Blog belongs to a girl named "Lola". Lola is 23 years old, a vegetarian, is training to be an actress and from what I can ascertain, lives somewhere in Utah. She's an interesting character; undoubtedly intelligent and ultimately charming. I very much enjoy reading her posts because she seems like a cool person.Another Blog which I recently started reading is:"A Day in the Life"http://elizabethboom.blogspot.com/This particular Blog also belongs to a girl and her name is "Elizabeth". She's a much different individual than Lola; more opinionated, more snippy, more aggressive and irritated by smaller things. Well, that's all for now. I'd better be off, got to go for my daily walk.
Wow, having just looked through my Blog archive I am almost dumbstruck to find out that I've been blogging for a solid 7 months. I'm amazed because it feels more like 1, maybe 2 months at the most.
Suffice to say, I'm glad that I decided to open a Blog. It gives me a peace of mind, a place where I can say (and talk about) anything I'd like and of course bitch, moan and complain. Additionally, It does well to fill my hours of boredom and, well, it's just exciting to update it because it's mine. Think of it like painting a murial; painting a new section (or writing a new post in this case) is an accomplishment, an occasion. And of course, a personal Blog does well to keep track of my life; seeing what I was thinking, or doing, back in March.
You know, when I started Blogging I was confident that I'd be writing a post per day, but obviously, I was way being far too naive. Shortly thereafter, I decided updating my Blog every two days would be more feasible, and though that worked for a couple of months, I soon found it to be tiring. I eventually realized writing on the basis of interest and time would be best the option and thus explains why some months have 19 posts where as others have 35+.
Though, whether I was writing 5 or 20 posts a month, I soon came to the conclusion that Blogging was an addiction. No doubt about it. Blogging is like playing a great video game; you just want more and more. And after a month of screwing around with my personal Blog, I opened one devoted to another great interest of mine, Kate Beckinsale. And following that I opened "The Speed Barrier" (in July) and just recently (in September), "Celebrity Pix World".
I must admit though, if there is any downside to having multiple Blogs, it's that it requires a great deal of dedication, time and work. People often fall into the Blogging trend without realizing such. Browsing around, you're guaranteed to stumble upon more than a few Blogs which have just 1 or 2 posts before it's owner decided it was too much work to update it. I definitely understand it though... As I mentioned some time last week, there is a strong possibility that I will be closing "Celebrity Pix World" due to insufficient time. Make no mistake, I knew It'd be hard work from the beginning, but thought I'd give it a go anyways.
Again, those Blogs are:
"Celebrity Pix World" "The Speed Barrier"
KateBecks And of course, the one you are now reading.
Blogging is just great. Though I must admit I never would have started one without the help of a friend. I have my friend James to thank for the inspiration for opening this Blog. Without him and his Blog, tis never would have happened. Thanks James! =)

Oh, and by the way, a new episode of Heroes is on tonight. Cannot Effing wait.
Meanwhile, the new season of BBC's Top Gear started last night and I of course watched it. What a fantastic episode, and more in lines with the "old-school" Top Gear. Nice work boys.
Over and out.
