It's been a while since i've had a hilarious or interesting dream. I thought that putting on a nice thick foam mattress would do the trick, but it hasn't. I feel that along with my night time sleep adventures, my dreams and goals in life are fading away too.
Maybe I dream too much, or maybe i have dreamt all the dreams that i could dream. Maybe i'm just becoming normal. My days are bland, sub par. At night i feel like a zombie, just walking about aimlessly around the bushes to get to one house, just to go back to my own.
My dreams really define who i am and who i want to be, but without them, i will slowly turn into a zombie and that is totally opposite of what i want to do. I want to save people from the zombies, not give up and join them. I've seen too many movies to get taken down by dumb zombies.
Something in my life has to change. Some type of fire needs to get started deep within my loins. Maybe tonight I will dream big. I guess we'll see when i wake up.
Goodnight.

Breakfast on 8th
I went for breakfast the other day with some of the sweetest dudes i know. Did the old fashion 5:30 am start that never happens very much in this day and age, and it showed. Everyone was pretty tired and beat, but it was still an up lifting time.
Why is breakfast one of my favorite things in the world?
1. The food
-You don't get ham and eggs with rye toast everyday. It's the best tasting food ever and gets you filled up for a better start to your day.
2. The people
-I would never go if i didn't have people to go with, the food is good, but you can't enjoy yourself alone at that early in the morning. I have the greatest conversations with people. Made some of the greatest friendships over a slice of toast and a cup of coffee. It is a time for me that i really feel united with my friends.
3. The price
-For me it is one of the cheapest meals of the day. You can go for lunch and supper anywhere and not find a deal that is like breakfast. $6 and you are filled and content. Nothing better.
4. Nicky's
-They open at 5:30, and on rare occassions i find myself there at that time. When your food is the first on the grill and comes out so clean and radiant with goodness, it takes breakfast to a whole new level.
If you don't go out for breakfast very much you should try it out, if you do, good for you.
Breakfast club October 13th.
Be there.

I woke up this morning at 5am, to the worst sound in the world...your alarm clock.
"Shit...." I'm already thinking about the end of the work day, getting home and just jumping into bed and going to sleep. Not a good way to start your day, especially if it's your first day of work! Your one month vacation just ended and your already complaining about having to work.....can't believe it. One month flies by when you have nothing to do.
A hard day of physical labour under the brutal hot sun, which is weird cause we haven't had a nice hot day in like a month. The heat made me week, the short sleep i had because of my bronchitis didn't make things any better. I felt as if i couldn't keep up at all with my new crew. By the end of the day i could barely lift my arms, but after twelve hours of concrete work, i got to go home...
Blogging is not one of my favorite things to do, i love to read them and hear what people have on their hearts, i just can't write them very well. So bare with me, there is a good message at the end of this.
...back to our story (blog)
I get home and I say my hello's and the usual double double routine you get in after going to one place for years. You just see the same people you've known forever and there is no fire, no excitement, just your normal everyday routine.
I jump on the dishes and start washing them, every dish i think about who made the mess and why didn't they clean it up; even when it's my own. Why am i having all these frustrations and small little pokes in my side? Why am i letting things get to me?
I go to my room and just sit down on my computer and start thinking of everything I am going through, and not only that, what so many of my friends are going through. People are just having a tough time trying to pick where to go to next, where as some people are just having a tough time getting people to stay. Have i ever been down the coming and going path. better believe that. finally feel like it's coming to an end, but you never know..
People are just confused and frustrated because of the uncertainties of their future. I think about that so much, where is this job going to take me? What is God's call in my life? What is the next step in my life or is there another one?
Heartbreak is another one of the numerous problems that i've seen in the majority of my friends and myself. Deaths, breakups, shut downs, friendships breaking....the list goes on.
People just getting down on themselves for no reason.
I could talk for hours about the negative things that i've been hearing and seeing this last little while, it's easy to...
but i'm not..
After a good three way talk between the dream team from room to room i went for a drive, got some new tunes the other day on my ipod from turdis and thought i would listen to them. Got some Timmy Ho's and listened to some Living with Lions. Started an awesome journey of thought around Regina... ok. now we are getting into the good part, so if you have read and understood what was going on...good for you (by the way- i can get down on myself for crappy blogging all i want cause i know i'm not an awesome writer like dirtynico)...proceeding...
I didn't have to get up this morning and make the decision that this was going to be a crappy day because i'm sick and had a bad sleep and had to go to work. My job was sweet, lots of hard work, and i got along with the new crew so well, on my first day. I could of just cleaned the dishes and been cool with just being a member of the dream team and contributing my part to keep the house half descent, but i chose to take the negative side.
So much in life, my life, your life, your friend's friend's life we choose to take the negative side. It's so easy to just forget about life and get caught up in routine and not even think about the awesome things happening around you. I don't want to end up letting my work take over my life, or my friends to have school or work take over theirs. I do want to hear about the bad because I care, but mostly i want to hear about the good. Mostly i want to speak the good. But it's all a choice.
I'm stoked because tonight i made a decision to make this year the most kick ass year in the world. I didn't need to have anyone around me to influence me or use as a crutch for entertainment, i found contentment in driving in my truck to sweet tunes. I'm going to be living a life jumping off bridges and cliffs. Not living to work, but just working to live. Not to live in the background noise, but be a presence in the room. To remember that life is meant to be lived, not held down. Cause life is awesome, even if you can't see it at the time.
So for people who stuck around to see where my story was ending, i hope your one of the many i was talking about, and i hope that you can make this year the best year ever, even if your here or not, even if your busy with school, or consumed with work....or both to the ambidextrous
There is alot of good in the air, use it.

Just the beginning...
I haven't written a blog in so long it is not even funny, but with moving to a new but old city and starting out totally fresh, i thought it would be cool to start up another one of these.
This first post I won't write very much, but I'll let you know what you will get into as my blogs progress. I will talk about just about everything, because it turns out my mind doesn't ever shut up and always has me thinking about something. My dreams in particular i will talk a lot about, but that's only because they will almost make you laugh everytime, because they are just so ridiculous.
I moved back to Regina, if you didn't get the "old new" comment i left earlier. I'm living with Tim Ashworth again, but a new roommate Nic. Love those guys both to death. This time coming back is new though. So many things have changed here, people have come and gone, changed, just what you would expect. So have i though, I've seriously have moved at least three times in the last year, done some school, went to work. Came back changed.
There is a huge struggle with coming back to an old place changed though, so many different battles that you have to deal with day in and day out, just with fighting the battle of going back to the way things were.
I hope in a way that people will read these blogs I'm going to put up and maybe get a little more understanding of where my mind set is now a days, hopefully inspire someone, maybe even make someone cry of laughter...that is an ultimate goal. I know this was short, but it was an intro.
enjoy.peace.love
