When I meet up with people I don't see normally and they ask me what I've been doing, all I reply is "Work." What I never mention to most people is that whenever I'm not working, I'm spending countless hours/mental energy/money on Magic. I've been going to a ton of tournaments, coming oh-so-close to top 8ing. This truly has replaced frisbee as my ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is my 27th birthday. It just feels like such a large number, 27. Overall, the 26th year of my life was acceptable. Now I look at my life and wonder what I have accomplished and where I'm going. I can really section my life into four different categories:

1. Professional: Last year I was still working for the Rosen Centre. I actually ( Read more... )

No wonder it looked shitty outside when I woke up. It's gonna rain today. That makes frisbee slightly less possible. I'm trying to play more because I stepped out the shower the other day and I looked two months pregnant ( Read more... )

I ended up working on New Year's Eve, which didn't really bother me. I worked from 3PM til 2AM. I ate noodles as the guests of the restaurant counted down the new year. After work, I went to a co-worker's place and hung out with some fellow cooks, shooting the shit about work til 5AM. Surprisingly enough, sleeping on a hardwood floor wasn't as bad ( Read more... )

Thoa and I went to Shingle Creek today to go talk to someone about the possibility of myself transferring or at least getting hours at their newest sushi bar, Banrai. Thoa's main contact, Chef Richard, was not there. Apparently, he just went on vacation. From what I understood, Chef Richard is the head sous chef and is in charge of most of the ( Read more... )

I've been off work since last Wednesday. I took two personal days on Friday and Saturday so that my paycheck wouldn't take a massive hit. I was supposed to be off until this Wednesday but I got called in to work my regular shift on Tuesday, which was acceptable. However, Chef Mike called me today to tell me that I had to come in much earlier for a ( Read more... )

On paper, I should be quite happy with my life. I have a job that I love to go to. I have friends who will be there for me if need be. I have a family that doesn't dispise me. I should be doin' good. Why is it that people always ask me "Are you alright?" as if to say that I do not LOOK alright? I suppose the answer is that I'm not alright, and I ( Read more... )

I'm out of shape. It's super cold outside and i was so lightheaded at tonight's league game. We lost and i could barely feel my toes and fingers.

You know what's not awesome? Toothaches! I had this terrible toothache Sunday night downtown at Sex Toy Bingo (an event where a drunken DJ (Korndogg) holds a bingo event for... you guessed it, sex toys) and it lasted all night. I tried to sleep but just stay awake in agony. I eventually went to sleep at 8AfuckingM and had to work at 2pm. Work was ( Read more... )

Starting from last Friday, I have a whole fucking week off. The reason is because the hotel is just so damn slow and they don't have any work for me. Well, I was supposed to work that Friday, but with deductions and cost of getting there, I calculated that I would only make $40 for 8+ hours of work. Fuck that, I thought. I went and played Magic ( Read more... )
