I'm homeward bound babay!!!!
Following Nick's (thatnickguy's) usage of a new blog idea a few weeks back I shall try one of my own and borrow a page from John C McGinley's character Dr. Percival Cox from the hit show "Scrubs" and do it in question form to a generic question asker. Those familiar with the show will note that if any of these questions are asked in real life that unlike Dr. Cox I will not hurt the parties involved, I just wanted to reference Scrubs as the show is freaking awesome. Anyhoo on to the whatsits!
Q: Coug, you sexy priapic s-o-b where have you been hiding your sexy self from the last few months? What's new?
A: Not much and thanks for noticing by the by, I have been working like a sumbitch and getting more in debt so I am headiiiing home! Yes, you heard it correctly I am moving back to Saint John as of September 14 after the show "Time Flies and More Ives." (TST show September 10-13)
Q: Why are you moving now though? I thought you liked Fredericton?
A: I do, I really do but people have got to move on and I am very homesick and rarely do f**k all with my days off except sitting around my apartment while the friends I do hang around with are working and the ones I used to hang around with are all moving away (I'm not giving anyone shit for doing this, it's just a matter of fact).
Fredericton has been awesome but I've been here a year more than I should've been by all accounts. Now don't get me wrong, I don't regret anything about the last two years even moving back up here from Saint John. It has been wonderful experiences, many of them learning and all of them fun ones. But the fact of the matter is this, I have my degree, I really don't want to continue studying Communications because I'm losing interest and I do not want to waste money on school that I'm not interested in pursuing.
All I'm doing is working to stay in a bachelor apartment that is more expensive than it should be and doing theatre here and there to make life interesting up here. That's all great but I'm 24 for God's sake, I'm single, no debts aside from my MasterCard and I should reserve this kind of monotony for when I'm married and have a family or at least until I get a job in politics (ZING!).
.....
I'll be staying at the main homestead until the new year kicks around and then I shall find a new pad. I'm really excited to move back as I realized that I love my family and I need them around me just as I'm sure they need me. Plus I gots the makings of a neat jazz combo on the way, which reminds me I gotta get back to Ron about playing the bass...*mental note*...and we're good!
Also the Saint John Theatre Company looks pretty happening so I'm interested to see what will happen if I audition there. Plus there's the music scene, oh God have I missed going to shows and playing open mic nights! Also my radio show MAY get back on the way I just have to see what the dealy-o is with any openings in the schedule at CFMH.
I used to look at going back to Saint John as an admittal of failure, like I couldn't make it on my own or make something of myself but now that I've grown up I realize that I do love my city. Even if it still smells like a rotting butt....
Cheers and love,
Coug :-)
ps. Message me if you want to do something before I head out, weekends maybe a bit tough but ask me ahead of time and I'll do my best. I move into the suites in Rigby as of August 30 until September 14 and then I move home that day. Second week in September is out as I'm doing a show that week and from the first Saturday of September my loppy butt belongs to Ilkay and Matt Hines. I work 4:30 - 1:00 AM so you'se all knows and I need to make an appointment to get a haircut before I go so K.J. I'll be coming to see you!!!
