re: todd harris
it's not like i didn't keep looking at the deuce even when there were no new posts for weeks, it's just when i leave stuff for too long it gets really hard to come back to it. there's usually too much to say although i don't do much of note these days, but i could compare it to how i haven't been to the doctor probably in over 5 years and somewhere in that time it became less about not wanting to go the doctor and more about being afraid of getting in trouble from the doctor for not having been to the doctor in like 5 years. the exact same thing happened to me with confession when i was a kid, you always had to say how long it had been since your last confession and after i got to about a year without going i thought that length of time between confessions was a way bigger deal than the stuff i confessed. and i think that applies here because i think a what, 7 month absence with no warning is a bigger deal than any of the reasons i haven't been around.
basically i moved back home after school cuz i couldn't afford not to and i left behind a lot, and it's been pretty depressing and i guess that makes you fall out of touch a bit with people, and internet people even. i've been working at the stupid government for seven months now, yikes. seems like all my friends from guelph are in or headed in the next few months to japan or one of those countries. i hate it here but friends leaving for things they're excited about somehow strengthens my conviction to stay and watch the real world on mtv.ca until my brains turn to mush. i really can't picture anything after this year. i don't live at home anymore and i'm not even sure if i'm better or worse off for it, one thing i'm certain about is that is hasn't made it any easier to find things to do in ottawa. i hate my job something awful but it's been a bit better the last two weeks as the rideau canal is open and i can skate to work. my oldest sister had a baby in august and named him sam. my uncle died last week after a pretty awful time with cancer. i paid $150 for a hockey stick. i really really liked rabbit, run, and i just finished black swan green by david mitchell which was lovely. i think that about covers it. hey everyone, how have you been? a quick summary of the last 6 or so months will do.

i'm still an asshole. but with a "nicer" haircut. i have a new tv. and a new house. i'm just glad you're okay. spring training starts in a month. yippee.
is the girlfriend that got the ipod a few entries below a new one or the same one from before, returned? how's your son? i'll post pictures of my sis's baby next time i'm at my parents'house. he's super cute.
oh yeah same gf. we worked things out. things are good there. she's graduating fine arts this spring. my son turns 12 son and i turned 30 in august. and i found 5 gray hairs on each side of my head. i found that i enjoy betting on dogs. and am pretty decent at it. my son isn't a lil boy anymore so that's depressing. he's this kid i see getting bigger all the time and has his own style and what not. it's weird. for so long he was this lil guy i could tickle and now he doesn't want the tickle.
I can't believe you've graduated already and are working at the gov. you guys all grow up so fast! I'm sorry you're having such a shit time in Ottawa. I would totally hang with you if I were still there.
I'm still in Chicago. same old same old, I guess. oh! I got my own apartment. that's be a little bit of heaven. but yeah, that's it.
I haven't throught about how old you son must be now, todd, in a long time.. preteen? god, we're old.
i don't know what to fill you in on because i don't know how much you knew in the first place. good to have you back(?) though.
i'm pretty sure i've left you guys for that long, or maybe even longer in the past.. so no big deal.
i'm at a weird point in my life too, because right now all my friends and people my age are about to graduate.. most will probably just go home and live at their parents for a while, because most people in my town just do that. but i've been working full time for over 18 months now, and i'm just now at the point where i know what i want to do and where i want to go to college. so i'm struggling with a) figuring out where to go, b) coping with leaving my lucrative job c) making sure i'm not miserable and without friends when i get there and d) trying to pretend it's ok to be 22 and be where i'm at right now. basically, i would give anything in the world to be 18 and know what i know right now.. to go to the right college for the right things.
something in that post of yours prompted that, that might've been random...
oh, i quit this nhl season a few weeks ago, btw. so good luck having someone here to talk hockey with.
you can't just quit on an NHL season mannnn. This is coming from a Leaf fan too I mean come on.
todd harris and others that might be interested: wanna do a fantasy baseball league? is pimf still around to join? we'd need others too leagues are only fun with at least 10 teams.
this'll be my first year doing fantasy baseball, yes, i'm down, i already signed up for a team, but i'm not with any league or group or whatever and i believe i can have up to five anyways, so fill me in on what to do and i'll be there
i'm in but i can't guarantee i'll be a good participant. especially once summer rolls around. i haven't done fantasy baseball since el duque was still playing for the yankees.
I love baseball, but I havent done a fantasy league in like 5 years. I doubt I could muster the enthusiasm to keep up with the whole thing. As far as a 6 months synopsis. Got a new job, which I like, working for this golf marketing company (www.coursetrends.com). I spend my days updating websites, managing email accounts, and compiling user databases and doing proactive marketing based on the databases. It's pretty decent overall and I get to play at all of these bad ass courses on the cheap. Try to keep my website/blog updated as much as possible, but I end up going out to happy hour too much lately. I <3 Mohawk Grizzly Bar ($1 beer and $1 whiskeys almost all the time and I know the bartenders so I almost never have to pay cover for the shows after happy hour). I just got netflix too which is cool. My buddy just started getting his boat all spiffed up for summer, so I can't wait for it to get warmer and get out on the lake. SXSW is coming up and that's always fun. I think thats about it.
