It’s been many a month since my last real weblog entry, much to the dismay (I’m sure) of everyone that used to read about my life. I said it when I first started doing this: I’m going to get lazy and abandon it in the woods somewhere, where it can stare back at me with those sad eyes. Well, as often occurs among the deadbeat fathers of this world I ( Read more... )

I am in Bellingham.

No, not to visit, not to stick around for a few weeks, and not for just the summer. I'm here through Christmas.

These past few weeks have been upheaval, to say the least. I now have a car (with car payments, insurance payments, and maintenance payments), an apartment (with rent), furniture and a job (almost). I don't have ( Read more... )

I'm sick, and not in the good way. Like, sore throat, feeling awful kind of sick. I think I got it from Tiffany (the new girlfriend) by being overconfident in my immune system's ability to handle any issue. The result is that I'm missing yet another day of weight training (no good, no good!) and I need to go to bed now instead of in three hours ( Read more... )

So, for some of you it’s been more than a month since my last entry.  I apologize, but every time I think of something to write I’ve been sidetracked by something else that needs doing.

I went and saw Derek Webb the other night and during the proceedings I finished a thought I’d been mulling over for the last few months.  Inspired by my pen pal, I’ ( Read more... )

God works in strange ways sometimes. I’ve been in a bit of a slump since Valentine’s Day. It proved to be a confusing day (I had to start working through how I feel about a friend of mine) and a sad day (I found out that Covenant Bible College, where I spent a year, is closing). I worked through that only to make a minor screw-up in a game that ( Read more... )

It seems as though my attempts to regularize my updates have come to naught. Still, I've been somewhat busy, and I will only get busier: I need to up my daily reading to roughly 100 pages (I have a 300 page book to read, FAST, a 100 page book to read ASAP, a 50 page chapter to read by Thursday, 40 pages by Monday, and 120 pages to read by Tuesday; ( Read more... )

So, people are probably wondering what is going on.  Or you're not, but whatever.  Sunday has passed and Leanne and I have talked things through.  Given that our knowledge of each other is extremely limited (we met on the 17th), we're taking it slow.  That means, though, that we're taking something slow, and that something is dating.  So yes, for ( Read more... )

So, I was walking to class today, strolling along in the crisp morning breeze.  With cereal bowl in one hand and a bag around my shoulder, I was master of my world.  I was even wearing my slippers.  As I walked past the mail centre, I saw a small, round, goldish object on the ground.  Curious as to what it was - smaller than a loonie, certainly, ( Read more... )

My apartment is rather spare at the moment. What do I mean by spare? Well, I’ve been living on yogurt and canned soup lately thanks to our lack of pots and pans. We have eggs, pasta and pasta sauce for the making of the bachelor staples. Reigning as Dark Lord over them: pasta alfredo omlette with breakfast sausage ( Read more... )

I have returned to that institution of academic excellence-cum-nonsense known as Trinity Western University.  (Get your minds out of the gutter, it's friggin' Latin.)  I can definitively say that I am enjoying myself.  The travel was a bit maddening, as I took public transit back from the airport and accidentally took the local bus from Surrey to ( Read more... )
