So I got myself a dog today his name is Jasper, he was rescued from the Rez just outside of Calgary...

I've heard two different takes on whether or not he is house broken... so we will find out...

he currently doesn't have any manners though.... and I think my roommate's dog is afraid of him.

OK so here are my beefs with the 2010 Olympics...


First off there is no women's ski jump... the IOC says its because there aren't enough competitors.. which is a crock of shit .. there are about 25 competitors.. and some summer olympic sports don't even have that many.. so its a total load.

Secondly, the IOC wants to change the Canadian Ski suits from Red, Black and Yellow to Red, BLack and White skin suits.... the Red, Black and Yellow suits have been worn since the days of the Crazy Canucks! How can they change a tradition like that?!

and for my last point... the stupid IOC is saying that the Canadian hockey teams are NOT going to be able to use the Hockey Canada logo. Like umm hello thats a tradition too!! That logo is the symbol of Canadian Hockey everywhere!!! how can you just say no to it? Ok yes, I understand that wearing the logo or not wearing it isn't going to affect the outcome of a game... but its a symbol that almost every Canadian recognizes! How can you take that away from us?! and in the year that we are hosting it too! and its not fair to other countries either who now have to change their Olympic Jerseys from their national logo!

Now I didn't know this earlier but apparently the IOC started this with Beijing, with soccer (football) teams saying that they could not wear their countries whatever on their olympic jerseys.

and this is all because the stupid IOC says that sports federations can not have their logos on Olympic Jerseys ... I think its total BS!!


Here is the article for those of you that wish to read about why I'm ranting.

I GOT THE JOB AT WESTJET I'M MOVING TO CALGARY!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

So I went to Calgary last week with my aunt and grandma... we were driving my aunt back home and then grandma and I were flying home to Toronto. I got a cold.. yay me!

I had a job interview at WestJet for their call centre, I haven't heard back yet but hopefully I'll hear something soon and hopefully I've gotten a job... in the meantime... Destiny Tours.. the place where I did my field placement and the place where I have done most of my traveling with, has asked if I wanted to work one or two days a week in their office for the next couple weeks because they are really busy with their new venture. They want me to start this week on Wednesday and Thursday.. now unfortunately, I still have a cold and a very gross nasty cough... now seeing as I will be answering phones and such I don't think it would be right of me to agree to start because, how gross would it be if you called into a travel agency and the person who answered your call started coughing and hacking in the middle of your conversation? Yeah I don't think it would be right. But my dad seems to think I should go do it anyway because it might lead to a permanent position... which I don't think will happen... and if I were to get the WestJet job I wouldn't continue to work with Destiny because I'm only getting 9 bucks an hour there and WestJet starts pay at 13.40 an hour... so really I'd be dumb to stay at Destiny if I got the WestJet job....


I don't know what to do... like should I start Wednesday regardless of my cold? Oh Yeah and I'd be staying overnight with my grandma while I was working there... do I want to risk getting people at Destiny sick and my grandma sick just because I need the money or should I wait and start next week when my cold will most likely be gone?

Any suggestions? Please help.

So I'm driving to Calgary on Monday Sept 1st with my Aunt and my Grandma.. and I'm flying home on Sept 11th with Grandma.

Grandma gave my Aunt (who lives in Calgary) her car, so my Aunt flew in to drive the car back to Calgary but Grandma didn't want her to go alone so Grandma said she'd go with her.. but because Grandma hasn't been feeling so well, she asked me if I'd come along so she wouldn't have to fly back to Toronto alone.


I'm kind of excited

I'm really bored. I don't have a job, even though I am trying to get put on the schedule at my old job seeing as I have finally returned from doing my field placement. This isn't working very well haha. So I've posted my resume on Monster.ca, I got a job offer to be an electrician hahahaha weirdo! but yeah I'm really bored and I have nothing to do with my life but read and sleep and maybe eat if I feel like cooking... I've been eating apples mostly haha. yeah I know its weird but hey, at least I don't make a mess by cooking stuff and dirtying plates and all that bs.


really bored. oh yeah I've also played everything puzzle/skill game on Bored.com.... thats pretty sad ... and I've memorized the words to every song from Rob Zombie's Educated Horses album that I downloaded on Sunday. yay me.

So I've decided that I hate boys... Well more like I hate what they do to me.

Have you ever like seen some guy and he just totally makes you blush? and you get all excited to see them even though they probably don't even know you exist?! I hate that... boys are stupid.

I hate them.

I hate that a stupid boy can do that to me.

Does anyone else feel the same way?


Rawrs.

I just came back home from my Grandpa's funeral in North Bay. It was a really nice service, lots of people cracking jokes and telling good stories about how great Grandpa was. My cousin Peter wrote a really beautiful poem about Grandpa and it was so hard for Pete to read it but he got through it and it was beautiful. It was really hard for everyone, my brother took it really hard, and when he get upset, I get really upset. I think the hardest part was going to the cemetery and watching them place the casket on its final resting place, it was a beautiful place, lots of trees and you could see the lake from his plot. I can see why he would want to be buried there. I really miss him a lot and its still sinking in that he's really gone, its been like a bad dream, it doesn't feel real. He was supposed to live until the leafs won the stanley cup, he was supposed to live forever, its not fair that he's gone. I know it was his time to go and he didn't have to go through and more pain, but it still hurts really bad.

We call him Grandpa Hockey, because both of my Grandpa's, my dad's dad, and my mom's dad are named William or Bill, so we needed a way to identify them from one another, yes I know they look different and are from different size but if you said 'Grandpa Bill' we'd ask 'Which one?'. So one day mom said we were going to see Grandpa and we asked which one and she said the Grandpa at the hockey rink, and from that moment on, we, my brother, sister and I, called him Grandpa Hockey, and Grandma is Grandma Hockey. My dad's dad, is Grandpa Horsey because he owned race horses, his wife Joyce, did not want to be called Grandma Horsey (hehe) so we called her Grandma Joyce. So Grandpa and Grandma Hockey are my mom's parents, and its because Grandpa loved hockey, he played, he coached and he was a die hard leafs fan as you can see from my previous paragraph. We really miss him.

Mom hasn't been taking it well, every time she went to the casket she lost it, it was really hard on my cousin Geoff, Pete's older brother. Geoff ( I call him and Pete my uncles even though they are realyl cousins) is 42 almost 43 years old, so he has known Grandpa for almost 43 years, I couldn't even start to imagine how hard it must have been for him, and Pete is 40 so he's known Grandpa just as long, Geoff had a wonderful speech too, he only got through half of it because he was hurting so bad.

Grandma has been really strong, I haven't seen her cry, but I think its because she feels that she needs to hold it together for the family. She is so strong, I wish I could be strong like her but I know deep down that I'd never be able to handle losing my loved one, my husband of almost 64 years. Yeah, Grandma and Grandpa would have been married 64 years this September. He was such a great man, I can't believe how much I miss him. I miss his smell, I miss his voice, I miss his stories and I miss everything about him. He was everything to me, he was my father when my dad wasn't physically with me, he was my brother when my brother wasn't there, he was my confidant when I needed him to be, and most of all he was my best friend.

I miss you Grandpa. You will always and forever be, my Grandpa Hockey.

May 28th 1926-May 27th 2008

Started placement on Monday, my second day was today. Dad came out (its like an hour and a half drive from home to where I'm working) to tell me that my mom's dad died. My Grandpa Hockey died. I'm very sad. haven't cried but I want to.
