Gen and I just got back from our day in Philly. We got to see some of the historic sights (namely the Liberty Bell) and we toured South Street for a few hours. I dropped a good bit of money there, but came away with some nice things: green Adidas shoes, a tin Guiness sign for Slick & Red's, a Frank Sinatra poster, a mock Phillies t-shirt that ( Read more... )

What a tumultous summer this has been. I've been quite the busy bee. There's my work, which includes bartending a few nights a week, whilst working on renovations to the bar on the days that I'm not working (and sometimes on the days that I am). There's the ridiculous lifestyle I've been living in a new house. Then there's my relationship to ( Read more... )

I'm sitting here in Gen's room, in her pajamas, typing on her computer, but she is not here. She had to work this morning. What shit after the 4th of July, huh? As well as Gen being gone, so is my car. We left it at our party-host's house last night. It was an alright 4th. Not my typical drunken 4th of July bonanza, but fun. We (Gen and I) ( Read more... )

So here we are, back in the good ole US of A. That trip is ridiculously long. I'm glad to have that behind me. I'm excited to get back home. I just wish I didn't have to fly out tomorrow night. I'd rather just get up in the morning and get home tomorrow evening instead of the next day. Oh well. I'll be there soon enough ( Read more... )

I just got back to the cabin after having our final dinner in BC. It was quite the supper too: Big ass steaks, baked potatoes, and grilled salmon. Mmm... We've definitely eaten well on this trip ( Read more... )

Today was another windy day, so nobody went fishing. Instead, we sat around played poker all day. Fun stuff ( Read more... )

For the first time this vacation, I've stumbled onto some 'alone time'. Everyone else is out fishing. Although I think I disappointed my dad a bit by declining to go out this morning, I've quite enjoyed the little break from everyone and everything. I got up around nine, and had breakfast with Frank and Larry. (Everybody here has names like ( Read more... )

My dad and five other guys are playing poker right now. It's 9:30 and the sun is still setting. Last night, it didn't completely set until about 10:45. It's different here in British Columbia. We are definitely nestled in the heart of God's Land. We're staying at Escott Bay Resort on an indian reservation. It's about 200 miles from anything ( Read more... )

I haven't talked to my girlfriend in two days. I don't even know if she's my girlfriend anymore. I don't know what to do. There's definitely something still between us, at least for me. And while I realize that, I don't know if it makes much sense to go on, as we've clearly been drifting apart. I've been trying not to think about it. I want ( Read more... )
