I've been playing a lot of poker these days.  Like everyone else, I guess.  And I've been getting pretty good.  Bluffing when I need to be and reeling in the sharks when I got pocket aces.  Big risks equal big payoffs.  But I keep losing my game at heads up.  The vodka kicks in and dances with the weed in my system. I get impatient and go all in ( Read more... )

This is it. Maybe because I'm a little high. A bitch who's worth it. This is what we're looking for. Nobody's perfect. It just has to be worh it. Like everything else in our lives that we work at or put up with. I'm not perfect. fuck, not even close. And neither are you. But to someone out there, you're worth it. And someone out there is ( Read more... )

It's funny how memories
Keep bringing you back to me
Just when I started to get myself together again
Thoughts of you
Come creeping in
Met at a party in June
Wasn't really tryin' to notice you
You looked at me with your sweet brown eyes
You walked up and said, "Hi"
Who would have known
That a love affair like ours would grow
Then slip away?

I'm winding down the last four weeks before leaving for Calgary! Things are looking up. I finaly got my letter of confirmation for transfer to Calgary Tower. James is handing in the letter with our rent application first thing tomorrow morning. Signed and co-signed with the rent deposit! woah. I'm slowly sifting through my things here at home ( Read more... )

I hate being reminded of you. It feels intrusive. The past comes out of nowhere and rears it's unwelcomed head into the present. seemingly so out of place. I had white wine today. I was looking to escape with a book and a journal and found myself dining alone. A new hobby I've developed. I sipped on white wine. Suddenly I thought of Cabbage ( Read more... )

I went to a funeral last Saturday.  It was dark and cloudy and raining.  Why does it do that?  I felt like Holden Caufield for a brief moment.  The part in the book where they describe the ducks.  anyway.

The last time I saw a burial was my dad's.  But I was 17 and in the heart of it all so I didn't get as much of a "hmm" moment out of it.  Not in ( Read more... )

Nicos! you have to meet the new bartender from Milestone's. Pretty sizlin'. Love that accent! (for about 2 hours) Nice man. Needs a green card =)

We're having a Poker night sometime this week. Ladies interested?

5 Weeks left. I need to save enough money to make the move to the west coast. I've seen this before. 16 days straight. Two shifts a day. 55 hours a week. Going insane. Drinking too much (mostly because the bartenters at work give you bottomless pints and I've been hanging around with Gah-reth the Scotsman!) I have stopped wasting money on cabs! It' ( Read more... )
