Summer So Far.

Summer has been awesome so far. I just got back from Granville Island, which, is pretty touristy but also very cool place to get some farmers market type stuff, see some shows, check out some beer at a brewery. Other fun things I have done include: play some per 3 golf at the pitch n' put course, stare at the water from the beach, dance until 3am at a lesbian bar. Vancouver really comes to life in the Summer, makes the rain all worth it.

I've been wanting to eat better. The thing is that I don't really know how. I'm not a cook, if you've listened to out Podcast then you would know that my culinary skill starts and stops with heating things up. I want some sort of routine so I can eat better without really having to think about it. It's also difficult when you live alone, I have very little patience for cooking a whole meal just for myself. When I think about this I just get confused and stressed. I wish I was rich enough for a personal chef.

On a shitty note: My $200 Brooks leather bicycle seat was stolen last night. So I'm pretty unhappy about that.

I want to rock and roll all night.

SO I have a couple days off, and what do I do? I stay up with Moses and some employees from the Chill Winston all night drinking and playing music. I had a genuinely amazing time. the only shitty thing is that I have to stay up for a optometrist appointment that I scheduled for 11am today. Needless to say I am extremely tired. Slamming an energy drink while you're walking home at 8am and everyone else is heading off to work for the day is one of the most surreal things I've done in a long while. I'm starting to feel my 1.5th wind or something.

Um what else? That's it.

Hey Guys, thought I'd drop my blog a line and let you all know I'm not dead. If you are missing my (semi) regular blog updates and you haven't checked it out yet, some of my friends and I started a podcast over here. We've got five episodes up now and it's been a blast recording them.

I've been thinking more seriously about what I want to do with my life on a long term basis. I decided I'm going to pursue screenwriting. Although maybe not since I just tried to spell it "screenwrighting", that might be an issue. I guess that's why we have spell checker! I'm thinking about grad school for the Fall of 2010. Not sure.

Man 2010. When you see it written out like that, really makes you feel like you're living in the future. Speaking of the future, if you have and hour and 20 minutes to kill, I'd go check out Google Wave because I'm pretty sure it's going to change the internet as we know it. Email, Instant Messaging, Project planning and collaboration, Networking and Blogging just to name a few.

That's really it for me. I've been working and watching a lot of movies. Moses has been keeping busy, working on his Goldsprints event which kicks off tomorrow. If you like bikes and you live in the Vancouver area, come down to Pub 340.

Anyways,

Campy

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Hey blog readers, it's been a little while. Sorry to keep you waiting. Lately I've been writing more. I feel like I need to be doing something creative all of the time, or I get really depressed. The weird thing about that is every lazy bone in my body tells me that being creative is too hard. So I guess I need a bone removal surgery or something.

Also big news. Moses Barrett, Dave Metzger, and I have started a podcast. This is another thing that's going to take up more of my time and taking away from my time blogging. If following my blog is one way you keep track of what I'm up to, well you may want to check out the podcast. It will be updated every monday with a new hour (or so) long episode. You can stream or download.

Just a warning about the podcast though, if you DON'T want to hear me speak openly and frankly about sex, drugs, or worse (Like for example we talk about our own penis size in the first episode) then you probably won't want to listen in. Stuff get's pretty vulgar. If you had a hand in raising me, sorry if this is a disappointment to you, I'm pretty sure I'm still a good person.

Anyways Here's the link check it out! the 321 Podcast!

Two days later.

So far I've been able to write something every day, although it has been very little each time. On Monday I'm going to start the 100 push ups challenge again from week one. Tomorrow is Sunday, and I think I'm going to see about rock climbing with Ben. I haven't picked up either of my instruments, hopefully I figure out a real routine by Monday.

At any rate I've been feeling slightly more productive, and I hope this trend continues.

Back in Vancouver

So now my vacation is over and I am back at it again in Vancouver. The blog will probably be updated again. I had an awesome time in Oregon, I saw many people who mean a lot to me and I got to try new things. Joel introduced me to rock climbing and I learned that even I can become a karaoke star. I took some videos that will probably only be interesting to me and the people in them. You can look forward to seeing them in the coming week or two.

I have a few resolutions coming back to Canada. Firstly I want to drink less beer and eat a little better, and eat out less. I want to exercise more, I want to check out the rock gym here, and ride my bike more. I want to practice my ukulele and guitar regularly. I want to write regularly.

On the writing, Dave and I have worked out something of a workshop for writing. He also started a blog to help everyone stay on the task of writing something everyday. I joined it, but I haven't started. I plan on starting today.

I think all of these goals are doable as long as I don't waste too much of my free time. Out of 24 hours in a day I typically sleep for 8 and work for 8. That leaves me 8 ish hours of free time subtract about an hour for traveling to and from work/ getting ready in the morning. 7 hours. If I write for 1 hour and practice music for 1 hour that leaves me 5 hours. Eating would probably take another hour. 4 hours. Man I'm gonna have to stagger some of these activities through the week. Because I still need to find time to work out, read comics, watch my stories, hang out with friends, and talk to Roof. Who, you know, is awesome.


It's all very complicated. Wish me luck.

Got To Bike It Up

Joel and I made this video yesterday. When I say Joel and I, what I mean is Joel made the video and I picked the song. Also I worked my ass.
