A lot of leavin' left to do

About Me

As of January 6th I am in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec. Leave a message, and I'll get back to you... sometime. :D
I'll have my cell on me, so should anything blow up or explode you can probably still get ahold of me in a timely manner...otherwise you'll just have to leave a message there as well. :P
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- Artist: Dallas Green
Song: Hello, I'm in Delaware
So there goes my life,
Passing by with every exit sign.
It's been so long,
Sometimes I wonder how I will stay strong.
No sleep tonight,
I'll keep on driving these dark highway lines.
And as the moon fades,
One more night gone, only twenty more days.
But I will see you again,
I will see you again,
a long time from now.
And there goes my life,
Passing by with every departing flight.
And its been so hard,
So much time so far apart.
And she walks the night.
How many hearts will die tonight?
And will things have changed?
I guess I'll find out in seventeen days.
But I will see you again,
I will see you again,
a long time from now.
My body aches,
And it hurts to sing.
No one is moving.
And I wish that I weren't here tonight,
But this is my life.
And I will see you again,
I will see you again,
a long time from now
And I will see you again
I will see you again a long time from now

I'm a freeskier at heart :o...nothing better than a day on the mountain. I'm pretty laid back and like to hang out with friends when I can cause when it comes down to it life is all about the people around you.
I don't drink really much at all anymore. I will if the situation warrants a good celebration but this last summer has taught me a lot about wasting money on booze haha.
I'm bilingual so I can read/write/speak in both English and French...although I don't think I've had to speak French in forever :o. Oie time to go back to Quebec for a while lol. I've given up framing houses completely. It's a long story, but my main focus right now is getting into the military. Hopefully I'll get selected for the program I want. It's all been a long and "painful" process (that began in Feb, 06) but I find out what's going on with my application very soon. So if all goes well I could be off to basic officer training this coming January.
Bottom line, I'm easy going, not easy. I'll admit that I can be a rather complex person so I need to try and enjoy the simple things in life and that means hanging out with my friends a lot of the time. I can be very quiet and introspective but I can also be very outgoing if you catch me the right mood. I'm very goal oriented and I tend to set expectations of myself rather high...sometimes too high. Call me driven.
I've learnt a lot in the last year. Sometimes you just have to forgive, forget, and move on. A lot of things in life aren’t worth the pain that you think they are. Human nature is a funny thing...there’s a lot of things I would like to be mad or angry at people for, but none of us are perfect and that skill called mental discipline is a tough one to master. I'm not saying that excuses everyone for everything but it certainly makes life easier to understand and accept.
My new motto for life? "Deeds, not words."

My Interests

Hanging out with friends, skiing(freeskiing, backcountry/big mountain), exercise, cross-country running, making the almighty dollar, movies, music…all the good stuff.

I'd like to meet:

Someone different from me, maybe not in every way, but I really don't want to be with someone that’s a carbon copy of myself. That’s just boring. I don't expect everything to always go smooth...tension is good for a relationship but that being said I don't want someone I can't stand to be around haha. I want a girl who can stand up for herself and do what she wants to do. I don't need someone that can't do things on their own and needs to use me as some kind of crutch. I'd rather be with someone that has drive and passion, someone that won't give up on what she wants to do and what she wants to achieve in life. Someone that can put me in my place when need be, but also will be there for me when I need it the most. A girl that leaves no doubt that she’s the one…

Music:

Ahh seriously I think I listen to almost anything. Hip-hop, rap, rnb, rock, punk, country...lots more too. Lately...Death Cab, Tom Petty, Taking Back Sunday, The Fray, Dashboard Confessional, City and Colour/Dallas Green, old school rock and random amounts of country(Rascal Flatts, Dierks Bentley).

Movies:

Blood Diamond; Certainly the best movie I've seen in a long time. Clerks II, damn funny. Sin City, just extremly original and entertaining.

Television:

Family Guy, Simpsons, That 70s Show, The Unit and House. Yes that s right Dr. House is wicked :D Oh I also have a strange addiction to "The O.C." yeah weird I know but w/e! Oh and "24" the best series on television by far!

Books:

Anything intresting about history etc. I don't read much fiction. :) Currently Reading: Issues of SWAT Magazine, hah

Heroes:

Seth Morrison...still hucking massive cliff airs, and sick pow lines, and a killer attitude to boot. Members of our courageous Canadian Forces, you're all heroes in my books.

Sworn In, and off to French Land!

Life on Hold

So it seems like since I'm going away for quite a while in January that it has been pretty much pointless starting anything new; relationships, friendships, projects, hobbies...pretty much anything. I...

Just go away.

Arg...I'm just having one of those weeks. I can't sleep right lately and my thoughts seem to be spinning out of control. Every time I think I'm moving on my memories spark up again and pull me back do...

Dreams come true and those only in memory.

Well I finally got my call yesterday from a Captain at the recruiting center to inform me that an offer of employment had finally come through. I accepted the offer, got some information, etc. So...

Waiting is the hardest part.

Several weeks ago I finally got news that I had been selected to become an Infantry Officer in the Canadian Forces. I can't explain how big this is for me. I get a free education, good pay and benefit...

I feel 19 again...well for a moment at least.

First off, I thought I was supposed to hear from the military this week since the selection board was this last tuesday, but apparently it can take weeks to a MONTH to find out if you've been selected...

Well first of all, I updated my profile a bit. The about me section was somewhat of date, so its fixed now. I've been thinking a lot lately, mostly of things I don't want to, but its funny how the m...

4 years and now its time for me to say goodbye.

I never thought it would end this way hun. All along I thought there was a chance for us...I thought that all of this couldn't be for nothing. But now I have to move on; for I don'...

Well that didn't last long.

Well, it was there and then it was over almost as soon as it began. I guess I'm okay with it...I'm sure I'll miss her, but its probably for the best. There is still someone else I can't let go of and ...

Not single? WTF?!

Well I went on a date with Tara for the 3rd time on saturday. Things got a bit messed up so we ended up just hanging out at Hawrlak Park for a bit then off to Moxie's for dinner. I'm not a real fan of...
