Update`

2005-11-20T20:52:00.000-06:00

Figured it was time to update.

Weekend
Had zou on Friday as always, went great. I was expecting Robyn to come home (she's in Toronto if you didn't know) On Saturday morning. I picked up my messages off the phone after zou to find out she was coming home on Friday Night. Excitement...RISING! She was home all weekend. Went back this afternoon (Sunday) We went to a hockey game last night. She said she likes going...aha I dont' make her! I really don't! . Went to that, then watched...married to the mob last night. It's some real old movie, it wasn't to bad actually. Church this morning, Lunch with her family, airport, video games, Hockey Game tonight. It was a pretty good weekend. Next weekend...get to do it all over again :)

Hockey
Blades Weekend Record - 1-2-0 They lost to some super tough teams. Moose Jaw and Vancouver. They won tonight against Swift Current in a shootout. The winning goal was unreal! Colton Gillies...unreal, he is 16-17 years old. Should get drafted into the NHL. That's all I'll say.

The Simpsons
There is a new simpsons episode on right now!

That means I need to go.
I'll be back later.

Look who comes crawling back...
How long has it been...1-2...months? Long enough...without any further....a do...(?)
David Lettermans top 10 reasons I have not blogged in so long...

10 - The Blogger site was down, I swear!
9 - Stuck on a school bus that had to stay above 50 mph, leaving no time to blog
8 - My computer crashed
7 - My car crashed and my computer was in it
6 - My hands were both amputated in the car crash
5 - I was in a coma
4 - My passion flew out the window like the dog from peter pan
3 - I lost my marbles
2 - I got a new tv...no time to blog
1 - Terrorists attacked my house **

**this statement in no way, shape or form, is intended to offend anyone or anything. If it has done so...lighten up. ***

*** if being told to lighten up offends you...try smiling ****

**** if being told to try smiling offends you...it means you probably are offended because you know you don't smile enough which makes you quite an angry person and not very enjoyable to be around *****

***** if being told that your not fun to be around offends you...the reason your not fun to be around is because you get offended easily!

------------What's been goin' on----------------

Since Sept 20th - Zou started, I sold a car, the blades are tied for 2nd spot, Trevis Smith was exposed (as if we didn't already know), I checked into drug rehab only to find out I was addicted to snorting a mixture of sugar and flour, Robyn got hired as a flight attendant for Air Canada, I lead goal scoring in NHL 06 on Xbox this season (most likely has something to do with my future wife being gone so much) and that's about it.

There is no real reason for no blogging except for the fact that I really didn't feel like it. But due to popular demand (or not so popular...mainly just my mom telling me that she wants to know what's going on in my life...) I am back and better than ever...or maybe I am just back.

--------Flying--------

I have a somewhat healthy fear of flying. Not many people know this, in fact, almost no one knows this. There is just something about flying at 200 miles an hour 40000 feet above the ground over mountains and large bodies of water that scares me. I don't know what it is. To many movies probably.

Stat of the day
Your more likely to be killed by a donkey than you are in a plane crash...True Fact!

Back to fear of flying. So it makes that kind of funny, somewhat of a coincidence that my fiance (I hate that word! ALOT!) has been hired with an airline. It's also funny that we can fly any where in the world for virtually nothing once were married. This is a real nice perk, if your not afraid of flying. In all honesty it will be extremly nice to be able to go to Paris for a weekend or take a trip for 5 days to Australlia (not sure if that would actually happen, but it's possible). Your all thinking....wow...that's so awesome...he's so lucky...
also realize that it requires your spouse to be gone a substantial part of the time each month and a very confusing and incosistent schedule.
So yes there are perks to it, but with ever perk there comes a negative. Robyn has been able to be home on weekends to this point. She is gone from last monday till around Dec 3rd I beleive. So that is a good chunk of time, but it does give me time to perfect my cyber slap shot and practice my gang leading skills via X-Box...both skills will come in very handy later on in life, I am sure of it!

-----Work-------
Work at the church has been going ok. It's been alot tougher this year than other years. Alot of days or weeks for me have been very up and down. I had a big change in my "philosphy" of ministry over the summer which brought a big change in my faith and life and how I go about the job and things like that. It has been a very positive change but has brought some challenges to the job. Is this really what I want to do? If it's not, what else can I do or would I want to do? Is all the pressure and politics and everything really worth going through? Some would say "well of course it is, your "furthering" the kingdom." I don't really like that thought cause it's making it sound like working in a church is more important than ministry outside of a church, which is definitely not the case! How much longer can I go at this pace? What will change when I get married? Etc Etc. Just alot of questions in my head about everything which make it tough sometimes to figure out the answers, not to mention try to throw together a program and message every week :) It's going well though. Most days I do enjoy what I do very much. It's just the down days that make a guy think.

Anyways...that's kind of where I am at these days. Doing well and I hope to update this alot more often than I have been and I hope the readers come back.
Heck...people might not even check this at all anymore...but for those that do...You rock my world like a little country girl! (it's from a song...not from my heart :)

Peas out

Tkachuk Suspended Cause of Weight
That was the heading of an article I read today. For anyone who know's a little hockey. They probably have heard or know of Kieth Tkachuk, Captain for the St Louis Blues. Anyways...I read today that he was being suspended from the team because he was to fat. He had to lose an "undisclosed" amount of weight before they would let him play again. How harsh is that! It's kind of funny to me...I just see the players filing onto the ice...right when Keith walks past the coach he pulls him aside and has a little conversation.

C: "Not Today Keith..."
K: "What Why Not Coach"
C: "Well...how do I put this...your a fat ***" (A hockey Coach would swear...)
K: "What???"
C: "You heard me.....Do you see that pile of sand over there Keith?"
K: "Yeah Coach..it kind of looks like a beach"
C: "Yes...yes it does...we had that hauled in espescially for you!"
K: "What Why?"
C: "Well...what I want you to do...Is take off all your equipment, put on this tiny speedo..."
K: "ok???"
C: "Then I want you to go lay down on the beach..."
K: "Ok??"
C: "and make whale noises..."
K: "What?"
C: "Maybe flop around a little bit...It would add to the humor...fatty!"
K: "But Coach...."
C: "Do it tubby, I'll buy you a donut..."

Today if you think of it. Take a moment of silence for Keith Tkachuk as he is discriminated against for being overweight. Or you can donate money to the Wheezy Keith fund...Check or money order only to...

Quote of the day
You know...God is like an apple...You don't really see the core but you know it's there which is kind of like a tree cause, it comes in all different sizes...like underwear...One time I got a wedgie and my underwear ripped worse than a plastic bag...that you get groceries in. CRAP I AM OUT OF MILK!

2005-09-13T15:11:00.000-06:00

Haven't posted in a good week or so. Here is a little update on what's been going on with me since you heard from me last. Went to a riders game, fell off the church stage onto my back four times, helped with kickoff weekend, drove a stock car, garage got graffitti'd, went to two blades games, recruited 4 leaders, bought four new fish, mowed my grass, bought nhl o6 and madden o6, (for very cheap might I add). And a bunch of other random stuff I am sure. It sounds busy....maybe even exciting but it wasn't really. There were some exciting things like driving a stock car and the blades hockey tournament, other things that made me mad like my garage getting hit (I have a target on me I swear!). Anyways...quite lovely.

It's just one of those days
This could be read as a poem or something...but really, it's just how I feel today

Why I feel like blogging today. Well I have been at the church for 3.5 hours this afternoon and I haven't done a thing. Other than look at houses, cars and jobs.
It is just one of those days.
Not one of those "good" days as you would put it. More one of those "bad" days. It seems as though in full time ministry these days come more often than for others, but who is to say really. It's just a day where I just want to quit this whole ministry thing, find a well paying job, have no worries about my income, etc.
Just one of those days...
Ministry is so strange...for those of you in it or close to someone who is you may be able to relate. It's not really a job, it's a life. For me...I am fully engaged in this 24/7 in my mind, body and soul. There is no escaping it. I can't watch a movie w/o looking for video clips. I can't watch tv without figuring out the characters problem. I can't read a book without taking quotes from it. When they say full time it's full time. Even if it's part time, it's still full time. Maybe this is me just complaining and having alot of self pity but...
It's just one of those days.
I am sad, I feel burned out and the year hasn't started. I feel like crying and being comforted but there is no one around.
It's just one of those days.
I worry about my money because I don't seem to have very much. Maybe I shouldnt worry about it, but if I run out of money. I am in big trouble. It would be very easy to find a better paying job than this. Very very easy. But is that really what I want. Today it is...tommorrow it might not be. Who know's.
It's just one of those days.
So today I have just sat and stared at this screen for abit. Then at the wall for abit. Trying to figure out my options. Trying to figure out my life. Trying to figure out why no one has asked me if I am ok today. Yet I am no further ahead. Probably further behind. But I guess...
IT's just one of those days.

A dream of mine : To be a full time speaker, wether it be christian, motivational, whatever. That is where my heart is. That is what I enjoy the most.

A dream of mine : To maybe someday run or work on a ranch. Maybe it's the farm kid coming out in me. The lifestyle is not easy, but it's laid back. It's at peace. I am tired of feeling restless.

A dream of mine : To be a hockey scout. Wouldn't that be the best job in the world. If you like hockey?

A dream of mine : To write a book that inspires people or helps people in their job or life.

A dream I once had : TO become a full time youth pastor with no schooling, just experience. Maybe the problem is I am living my dream right now but am feeling like the next one is taking to long to come or I am not doing anything to get me there? Who know's?

A perk...

I just had a phone call from the president of a sports business and scouting school. For an interview to take a course. Interesting...

That's all for now, I need to go and look at the wall some more :)

yummy

Titles bother me...I can never thing of anything witty or intriguing enough to make you want to read this...the end....with that...

Well...I followed through on what I set out to earlier this week and I bought a new car...last night. It's a little hummingbird of a car (that is what it sounds like cause there is a hole in the muffler...well a second hole) it's a 1997 Suzuki Swift, 5 speed, 3 cyl, black, very basic, it is in pretty good shape and should save me alot of money on Gas. So the second part of this is...

CAR FOR SALE

1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
Drives like new
6 cylinder, (I think)
Blue
218 000 Kms
Excellent Shape
Asking 3500$ (w/0 repairs)
4500 with repairs
(windshield, drivers side lock, back panel, stereo needs to be installed) minor things that do not affect the drive or quality of the care at all.

Forrestry Farm
For the first time in my whole life I went to the Forrestry Farm/Zoo yesterday. **note avoid the butterfly garden till after the weekend...we saw 1 butterfly...ONE!** Anyways, it was pretty cool. Monkey's are crazy! I decided that instead of Kids I would rather just have monkeys. I could watch them for hours, just in awe of them. I am wierd maybe but man, they are so so interesting. I have been finding lately that I am seeing God in the small things in life, like how amazing monkeys are to watch. Or watching praire dogs, it just makes God more and more evident to me. Last Night Robyn was just walking out of the house and she turned and screamed right when she got outside. I didn't think to much of it cause...I am a heartless jerk (just kidding) she just pointed to the corner of my house. There was a huge spider and he was about half way through making a web. It was so cool, I stood outside for about 15 minutes after she left to watch the thing, it was simply amazing how precise they are with making a perfect web. I couldn't beleive it. Just another little thing that blew my mind and showed me a little more of God.

I was going to upload some pictures tonight but I am feeling a tad tired and it's pretty late. So I need to hit the hay...bed...This was a tad uninateresting but it'll get better I swear :)

back for good

2005-09-01T01:42:00.000-06:00

well, i got home...monday night from the great mountains...the mountains i lust after! I just wanted to say that. Anyways, it was a great trip. We had awesome weather the whole time except for the last night it poured! We were in a tent for anyone who is wondering so it made for a damp night. We got lucky that we decided to camp in the woods abit away from the campground. When we woke up early the next morning we walked to the campground where we were supposed to camp and there was a stream running through it...right into the site beside us...and underneath their tent...we packed up and drove home. All in all we saw kananskis lakes, bow river and pocahontas (those were the places we camped anyways) it totalled alot of driving but we saw alot of cool stuff, it was great overall. May post some pictures later on...

gas
so how about those gas prices! When they jacked up to 111.9 i made it my goal to buy a new car by the end of this week. It's thursday tommorrow and I think I may be able to achieve my goal...are suzuki swifts girl cars? I don't even care. if I get 40 mpg in the city and only cost 30 bucks to fill or so...I won't complain...I can probably run faster than it can drive off the line but that is beside the point. Spend money to make money...ugh

Tragically Hip
Has anyone else thought of the song "New Orleans is sinking" in the past couple days???
So here is my theory on this whole thing that is going on. Just a theory, opinion...some people may not like this at all, might make them upset but I think it's insightful...for me anyways. Most people that read this probably know the story of sodom and gamorah (sp?). If you don't...the story is from the bible. The two cities are pretty bad places, lots of sin and turning away from God and everything, in the end God punish's the two cities by knocking them down...

Time warp to present day...

I am not a knowledgeble guy when it comes to "stuff" but I do know for a fact that Mardi Gras (one of the planets biggest parties from what I hear) is in New Orleans, I also know that the bright colors, clothes, mask's, etc, represent something...not exactly sure on what it is so I won't say for sure...If I recall it was something to do with representing other Gods and things but don't quote me on that cause I am not 100% sure. Anyways, I have just heard that New Orleans just isn't a real wholesome place to live...do you find it funny that 80% of the city is underwater? Do you find it funny that last year there was a hurricane that was coming straight at the city but veered at the last minute...do you think it's funny that this year the same thing happend...and at the last minute the hurricane veered...just not quite as much. My theory is that this whole thing is very biblical and in my own mind it's very evident that there is some sort of punishment on the city...The city is below sea level which means it is not going to drain soon. So many other problems will arise from this. Anyways, that is just my opinon...it was the first thought that popped into my head when I heard the story...

another little tidbit I find interesting...
Amsterdam, a place with alot going on...not so much of it good stuff...is also an entire city that is below sea level...just something that makes me think abit about location and how much control God truely has over this world. Is there such thing as coincidence that two of the more "sin filled" cities in the world are in valleys? To me it just makes God so evident and powerful, it opens my eyes so much. To others it might not mean anything and this may have been thoughtless and inconsiderate blabber. That is ok to...what's your thoughts on this? leave a comment if you got's any...

anywho...I am off to bed
blogging should pick up again now that the summer is over and I am around a little more.

off again

2005-08-24T10:52:00.000-06:00

I won't be around till probably next monday...I am just waiting for a knock on my door and then I am off camping in BC for a couple of days with one Mr. Ryan J. Acobson. Should be great, we have no plans, no goals, no dreams, just a car, some money, and a wild passion for adventure...yeah...I tried to make it sound really exciting. Anyways, till monday,
happy thanksgiving.

a couple weeks ago i blogged about how I kicked a couple kids off the trampoline at two in the morning and they came back and slashed it...once...well I just got home...not 20 minutes ago and I look in the back yard...joining that one giant slash are about 7-8 more...the same size or bigger than the original...I am waiting for the cops at the moment...I am raging right now...brb

well cops just showed up and filed a report and everything...he said in this case cause it is a repeated instance that insurance may cover it so that gives me a little hope..

He said my other option is to set up a sting operation...ahahah I kind of laughed and thought "dang that would be fun" I don't really know what I would do, they always come when it's dark...night vision on the video camera may come in nice...then I could hude on the roof of my garage...then throw a weighted net over top of them, then handcuff them to the trampoline, call the cops and then proceed to throw water, urin and fecies all over them until the cops got there...that could work...
I'll come up with something...that is my small update...i spoke this last week at camp, it went real well again...I think I am off to BC on wednesday to go camping for a couple days before youth starts back u[p into full swing again so if you don't hear from me again for a week or two...that is where I am...again, if anyone has an extra trampoline lying around or like a spare 350$ it would be very much appreciated...or maybe if anyone knows who these little punks are...that might even be better....AHHHHHHHHHH
bye

2005-08-13T15:11:00.000-06:00

The cops came and talked to methe other day about the recent events in the area...area meaning...my backyard. They told me they can't really do anything...which they can't...so what it comes down to is I am pretty much screwed. That's so cool...

I spent my week in two different places...one..at arlington beach hanging out and two sitting at the church watching men talk on a big screen. I enjoyed the first part of my week alittle more than the second part of my week..something about watching old bald men talk doesn't really compare to hanging out with your future wife. I don't know what it is.

Lastly...I will be gone for the next week to speak at the last camp out at arlington so I won't be here or there...well I guess I'll be there...just not...here.

My hair hurts!

I must go pack, gnight

posting - a blog of rage

2005-08-06T23:19:00.000-06:00

I haven't been so consistent blogging as of late...inface...i think i have been so inconsistent that no one even checks this anymore. but who know's really??? only the counter I guess...

At this very moment I am watching the x games...this might not mean much to anyone...or to me...there is just something about a guy doing a 100 ft long back flip 50 feet into the air that just makes me smile...so insane! winter x games are more my style which leads into the next topic...

I don't snowboard very much anymore...that sucks...what sucks more is that I don't really care to much. I think it has to do with living in Saskatchewan...please God call me to...anywhere else...Iraq atleast has craters from bombs that I could snowboard in (not sure if it snows there though) but in case you were wondering...we do live in the flattest part of the entire earth!

Hoodlums - a great story
so...Today was a long day for me...a long and angre and frustration filled day. It all started last night at 2 am...all I can hear with my windows open are the trampoline springs being put to use. I am thinking "this is nuts" so I go back to the back and kindly tell the kids (2 of them I know...a couple I have never seen in my life) that I am having troubles sleeping and it's time to go to bed. The girls that I know were cool about that. Apparently the guys weren't. I only saw one...because he just got right up in my face...wanting to fight me...(he was 14 and a bit smaller than me to say the least) He was making me pretty mad and...well the only reason I didn't drop the kid (or try) was because of my job. He backed off abit and started offering me money and alcohol to keep jumping on the trampoline. I don't know what the obsession with that thing is. Anyways, I told the kid that it was my property and they had to leave...so I come back downstairs and about 20 minutes later I hear ppl stomping around on the deck. I just assume they are going to jump again and I just forget about it and fall asleep.

I woke up this morning...walked outside and looked at the trampoline "that looks weird" I thought... "there is water on it" I got closer "what is that" I get up to it "ohh...." At this point anger and frustration just start to take over. There is a 2 foot gash in the middle of the trampoline and then an 8 inch scrape/gash on the side...the little jerk came back and knifed my trampoline!

ANGER!!

So I talk to the two girls that were here the nigth before...they informed me that the guy was getting all lippy with their uncle and grandma...they called the cops on them a couple times and the kids either went to jail (which is hilariously right down the street) or got away. I am assuming they got away. So this afternoon I gave the cops a call and they are stopping by tonight or tommorrow for coffee...or something.

I have tried not to make this bigger than it is...but man...if anyone has seen me on a trampoline...it's evident I spend alot of time on their. This is bugging me a whole lot! My hope is insurance or somethinc covers it but I am not counting on that. All in all I am pretty much screwed. The emotions I feel are...anger...rage...a little bit of fear...more anger and rage...sadness

I realize that the kid that was in my face was carrying a knife when he was trying to fight me...that scares me a little bit...

I also realize he is a kid that has gotten off to a bad start in life...that makes me a little sad...

I also realize that it's going to cost me some money to get repaired or get a new one...that makes me mad...

and finally I realize that he is a 14 year old punk kid who thinks he can get away with anything he wants at anyone's expense...that makes me full of rage!

Some ppl may be thinking "but your a youth pastor...you should....." And yes...I am a youth pastor...that is why I am being completley honest about this! :D ANyways...that has been my day. If anyone has a trampoline for sale...let me know.

on a lighter note
I had a dream I really beat up a guy bad three nights ago :) ahaha, so much violence...and rage...

working
Well it's start of August..youth starts up soon (not really soon but...If i say soon it makes me feel more pressured to get things rolling) And I have gotten quite abit done...way ahead of schedule...one thing I am just starting to work on is recruiting leaders...
This is the survery for a leader...feel free to fill out and leave it in the comments...or not...
A survery for future leaders
Do you love God?
Do you love kids?
Do you like kids?
Can you handle kids?
Do you know what kids are?
Do you like having fun?
Do you like stepping out of where your comfortable?
Do you want to step out of where your comfortable?
Would you if you were asked?
Would you if you weren't asked?
Would you if you were forced...physically?
Do you like me?
Do you love me?
Can you handle me?
Do you know who I am?
Can you be around me without going crazy?
Do you want to be a leader?
Would you want to be a leader if someone showed up at your front door carrying a baseball bat?
Would you skip town?
If you were to skip town...where would we find you?

I think that is all...as you can see...I am very intense on getting committed leaders this year :D

That;s all
One last thing, do you ever just kind of sit and watch tv...and like an hour later you actually realize what your watching and your like "what am I watching" or "why I am watching this?" All day this has been happening to me...first it was like the boston local news, then it was a fishing show *hate fishign shows* then it was the 9th rerun of sportscentre...now it's a driving show...ugh...I have to go change the channel...gnight

awhile ago i blogged.
well i just got home...
i was away for two weeks at arlington beach camp. 1 week to just hang out and 2nd week to speak at a jr high camp. It went really really well to say the least. One of the smoothest weeks of any camp i have ever spoke at. I am not sure how many camps I have done in total now. I am just thinking about it...maybe around 11 full camps in the last three years. Anyways, I am back home now...I am glad that my house didn't burn down, my aquarium didn't break and flood my basement, my mailbox wasn't to overflowing and my trampoline wasn't torn to shreds. Anyways, i need to unpack and relax, i'll update later.

hi

2005-07-14T22:21:00.000-06:00

Starting Now
What a week
Well, the time has finally come. I know I joked about it abit in the past but I just couldn't hold it off anymore. I simply was just missing her to much and I realized that we were meant to be together. So I made some phone calls, bought a couple things. And the special day finally came. That's right...Shaw Cable is no longer in the Miller Residents. I have switched back to Sasktel Max once again. I took advantage of Shaw by taking there 3 month free deal...but after that...the bill was just to much. I apologized to the Sasktel Cable guy for disowning him for a couple months but like any good family member, they forgave me and let me back in.

Getting moved
I got all my stuff moved to the house finally. Thanks to Hindmarsh, James for giving me a hand. I love it that I was offered 2 trucks today. How does that happen! It's ok I guess....bullriding is awesome. The calgary stampede hilights are on...grrrrreat.

Baseball
Playing abit of baseball lately. I feel like I am playing better than I was. I did miss an easy ball tonight but I guess that's how it goes sometimes. I kind of hate the sun. I can't pick up the balls off the bats at all when I am playing the field. Which meands I can't tell where the ball is going until it's half way to me...or near me. My batting has improved alot this week...that feels good to actually swing and hit something.

And Finally
Well the time has finally come. It was just time to move on in life I guess. So on Sunday July 10th I had a decision to make. Now looking back on the whole thing I am pretty happy to say the least. Just the thought of the future makes me smile and just well up with joy. The news....I asked my lovely girlfriend Robyn Pogoda to marry me last Sunday. Since I am happy and smiley...it could only mean she said yes. Which she did. So that is the big news in my life. We are no longer dating...but engaged. Some ppl will read this and be choked that I didn't tell them in person but things have been abit of a whirlwind this week so I apologize for not having talked to you (if your upset). Anyways...I am super duper pooper scooper pumped and..yeah...everything is good. All smiles!

Batting/Baseball
I don't know if this has anything to do with anything...but before I was engaged...it was definitely on my mind alot...I didn't think it would affect me that much but before I was engaged...I was batting like 0-91 and just absolute crap...since getting engaged I am...7-9 (I am not sure what walks count as so I am just putting it as me getting on base) 7-9 - seems ok...

I am tired so I am gonna go and watch the cable guy...the movie...not the guy...peas out...

oHHHHHHH
only 1 more sleep till willy wonka and the chocolate factory YES YES YES

2005-07-06T22:00:00.000-06:00

I can't wait till the new chocolate factory movie comes out. *High pitch screaming* AHHHHHH SO EXCITED!

New Jack Johnson CD
Yesterday I was killing time getting some pictures developed so I swung over to the Music Store (forget the name of the one in circle mall)
Anyways I noticed on the shelf a cd called "a few live songs EP" by Jack Johnson-G.love (g-love not glove) and Donovan Frankenreiter. I quickly wiped the tear from my eye as I ran over and grabbed the last copy before the person beside me (ok it looked like no one had touched the shelf but whatever) I bought the 7 song cd for 10 dollars and took a long short drive to listen to it. Yeah for them for this cd! They use an accordian (I think it is) in some of the songs, simply strange and loveable! GET IT! 9.5/10

Kid and woman at batting cage
I spend to much money at the batting cages. I started to go a little less often when I saw a 13 year old kid and then a women stepping into the 80 mph hour cage and just hitting like it was nothing. It was pretty cool, but kind of hurt my self esteem...alot!

creepy baseball watcher
Right across from my house is Kilburn Park which is home to the Hilltops Practice field and 4 little league baseball diamonds that are occupied every single night. Last night I went over to watch a came, I was bored and had nothing to do. I got there and sat down and all the parents and stuff were all just looking at me. Everything went silent and I could sort of here whispering behind me...since I am not on tv I am not thinking they were saying "look, that's thomas miller, he's so dreamy" they were probably saying things more like "i think that guy is a pedaphile, we should call the cops" I decided to add to the mysteriousness by leaving half way through the game. Acting as though I had "got my fix" ahahaha, suckerS!

baseball update
my broken shin
We played our first baseball game in awhile tonight. I actually hit the ball tonight, I struck out twice (one caught looking), 1 single and one walk, 1 RBI and 1 freaking hard foul ball right off my shin. This is how it was in my head.
"ok..set up..just like the cages, breath...GOOD PITCH...SWING...I HIT IT...Oh it went foul...oh what the heck is that insane pain in my shin...oh man....that really hurt...I think I am going to cry...no...they will bench me if I cry...act tough...oh gosh...my leg hurts so much...quick wipe that tear...breath breath breath..." Just a second mr umpire...that really stung..."oh good, i get some more time...I am never going to swing at a ball again! I wish I had a wheelchair right now...ok...let's just get back in there...ok ready...shrug it off...here comes the next pitch...oh that's going way outside...OH CRAP! THAT CURVED! Please don't call a strike..."
STRIKE 3 "Oh man..I am so useless...man my leg hurts"

There..that was a peak into my mind during my third at bat. Notice no swearing..that's cause I work in a church!

Moving Update
I am almost moved, I just need to get couch and atble and aquarium...truck truck truck truck truck truck! ANYONE?!

Ehaha
Yesterday I transferred my fish to the house into a smaller aquarium...to transfer them I just filled up ice cream buckets full of water and put the fish in. nd the adventure began.
Here is an interview with one of the fish involved in the transfer.

Thomas : Thanks for being here today Stripey...
Stripey : Your welcome.

Thomas : I know it must be tough to think back on the recent events so thsi means alot
Stripey : Your welcome AGAIN!

Thomas : So tell us what happened
Stripey : Well I was just swimming around this new circular thing and there was a big liquaquake.

Thomas : Ahh what?
Stripey : A liquaquake, you know...like where the water starts shaking...anyways...a big quake and all of a sudden I found myself outside on the land.

Thomas : Was this your first time OOW (out of water)
Stripey : Yes...it was quite nerve racking, the air was quickly taken from lungs and I began to drowned in the oxygen. It was atleast 2-3 minutes before the hand of God saved me from under the magazine and put me back into the bucket.

Thomas : Under a magazine
Stripey : Yes I somehow ended up under a magazine on the ground

Thomas : Well...that is quite a story
Stripey : That's not all...just when were about to make it to the promise land...our motor vehicle starts to spit and sputter...luckily there was a fuel bunk nearby, or we may have died in our own filth.

Thomas : Thank you very much Stripey, any last words
Stripey : I just want to say a should to snakey and red tail sharkey...your the bomb, and to the giant salmon! WATCH YOUR TAILS !@#!%!

Thomas : I am sorry folks. Our censors were not on that one. I apologize to the families who heard that. Thank you again Stripey.

Finally

I have been living without a trampoline for a couple of years now. Last weekend I got mine from home and set it up two nights ago. Last night...it all began...kids came out of the wood work...10 in total in my back yard. Everywhere from 2-15 years old. Today I woke up around 9...I heard the trampoline being used...ahah, wierd...an hour later, i heard water running. I look in the back yard and the kids have set up the sprinkler to the trampoline...by now I am thinking "ok...this is getting abit much..." so I talked to them, made sure they asked, talked to the mom, made sure she wouldn't sue me, and now...it's 10:30 at night...and the kids are still on the trampoline...seriously...there has probably been 20 kids through the yard today and tha trampoline has been in use since 9 this morning...that's...13.5 hours. They even offered to buy it off me today. I may not have a choice if I don't get a chance to jump on it. So crazy! ANyways, from a ministry stand point it's rad cause they are all Jr high age...but from a privacy stand point...it's not..private...anyawys. I am hoping it's just a novelty and it will wear off in a week or two. Here's hopin it dies down abit.

I have3 to go ice my knee and shin, peas out...comment if you feel like...it makes me feel cool.

2005-06-30T19:21:00.000-06:00

I got moved over this week, I am still minus a bed, a couch and kitchen table, also my big big aquarium still is there as well. I just need a truck and a couple extra arms to get that stuff moved over. But it can wait.

I think I am heading out to arlington tonight (thursday) for the weekend. I can't decide, but I am really not doing much in the city. So choosing to drive for awhile to see my girllfriend sounds pretty appealing (although she was in town yesterday for her brothers grad).

I just don't feel like packing anymore.

Graduation
I have been to three grads in the past month. Which takes the total to...6 I beleive. I won't talk about them...

Still No Car Accident
I had an oppurtunity to get into an accident yesterday but Robyn was with me and I just couldn't bring myself to pull in front of the van. The passengers side would of been smooshed. I am sure there will be more oppurunities.

Bi's
I think I made a pretty good buy today. There is a little "everything" shop by my house so I stopped in there and noticed a brand new palm pilot stashed in the corner. I asked if it was for sale...it was. The guy asked 80. I said 50...and I got 50. So that's cool, a new (old) palm pilot for 50 bucks. I have been wanting to gegt another one. I used to have one but it broke due to...alot of things. I don't really have any excuses to miss meetings anymore. That's ok. It will be helpful.

Blades
A couple weeks ago I got my blades season tickets. Perfect (half of them was my birthday present). It's going to be a good winter.

Puppies
I don't have any puppies. I don't even want any. Espescially female puppies, their urin kills grass...now that I have a yard. I don't want dead grass. No more Puppies!

This is getting a little bit extensive. Just wanted to post to see if ppl would leave comments about nothing on a blog about nothing. Peaz Aud

short

2005-06-23T22:20:00.000-06:00

Well,
this won't be a long blog, or even entertaining i don't think. Just a quick update about what is going on with me.
NOTHING...
and done...

Ok I'll go into a little more detail.

Car Update
I still haven't gotten into a car accident. I actually had a chance to get into one that I could have maybe passed off as the other persons fault. But my dang reflexes got the best of me and I got on the break. I think I am going to tie my feet together from now on when I am driving! Much harder to make a fast stop!

A little note

If you see a blue 1994 two door Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme driving anywhere. Do whatever you can to run into it. (It's even funnier cause there are alot of cars that look like mine around) Just make sure the liscence plate number is...uum...uhh...green...make sure it's green. That automatically eliminates out of province hassles. There, blue car, green liscence plate, hit it! But make sure you hit it really hard! Preferably on the passengers side (Just trying to be safe)

Baseball Update
Games this week - 3 (1 slopitch, 2 baseball)

I just want to talk about baseball. The season started out and I had two fairly good hits, some ok plays and a pretty big butt load of confidence. Usually you would assume after a couple of games you would start to feel abit more comfortable, start hitting better and everything would just fall into place.

I feel like I am kind of working backwards at the moment. I was 0-3 tonight with 2 strikeouts, last night I was...I am not sure. 1 walk, 1 strike out and 1 pop out. Maybe I am in a "slump", maybe I just haven't gotten my game back since I was 13, or maybe I just...well...suck. I can't relly decide what it is or what to do. I feel like I am hurting the team by being there. I love playing but dont want them losing because I screw up. Anyways...I am loving playing real ball, just need to step up abit. We lost last nigth and tonight. Ugh...

Anything else

I am slowly getting thigns into boxes to move. Hopefully by next Friday I am moved...

Also...steak is good...

2005-06-20T12:05:00.000-06:00

Here is another delightful weekly update

Baseball and "Baseball"
Last week I played three games in three days. Baseball is not a super physical sport (espescially if you aren't hitting the ball) so it wasn't a bad thing. I am on two pretty good teams from the looks of things. Slo pitch we are sitting in third place over all and have a couple games on the first and second place teams (we haven't played as many) in baseball it seems like were doing ok. We haven't lost since I started playing and we have won every game by over 7 I think. I assume it has everything to do with my wicked awesome talent :D Ahah yeah right. For the baseball fanatics I am batting .428. Which is pretty good in my mind but it sure doesnt' feel good. Playing on two teams is crazy. I think I have atleast 3 games a week not to mention the conlicting nights where I have a game with both teams. Who do I play for? I have no idea. Enough about this.

Poor Spuds
This just in...potatoes are being discriminated against! I just heard on the news that some british farmers are trying to get the term "couch potato" taken out of the dictionary cause they feel it is giving the "humble spud" a bad "wrap" (the words of the news story). The story brought a tear to my eye. I never realized how our society had discriminated against the poor vegetable. Nothing was meant by my ignorance. It just sounds good to say "couch potato"...nothing else really flows as well as that does..just imagine saying these terms to someone...
Couch Broccoli - You can only say this if the person has a big green afro
Couch Pea - Well obviously we all think of a urin soaked couch
Couch Bean Sprout - Way to long to just blurt out at someone
Couch Apple - That's not even a vegetable
Couch Cucumber - this would only work if the person was really tall...and round or a leprechan or dressed up as a booger
Couch Radish - For some reason the word radish reminds me of a poopy diaper.
Couch Carrot - To many "c" sounds.
Couch Parrot - This may work...but is calling someone the smartest bird in the world...really an insult. The bird can friggin talk! They are basically humans with wings!
Basically my conclusion is that the potato should just suck it up and feel happy that it is getting just that extra little bit of publicity. Like they say in hollywood...any publicity is good publicity.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - July 15th
I can't wait! It looks wierd! Jonny Depp ROCKS MY WORLD!

Herse Accidents
A herse - something that carries a casket (not sure of the spelling) anyways.
I was driving down a street today. I turned right and BLAM right there was a herse backing right up. We didn't crash...heck...we didn't even really come close to crashing...but the thought in my head was "I wish I would of hit that herse" cause honestly. How funny of a story would that be! Maybe I am sick and morbid and twisted...but I really would like telling that story.

My Plan
I got my car about 3 years ago and have been putting on quite a few miles. The old girl is starting to wear down a little bit. Not bad...a little tune up would probably do her well but anyways. I have a plan that could not only save me money. But maybe even make me some money. The past few weeks I have been a little more alert than normal when driving...because...I am just waiting for a driver around me to make a minor mistake...cause my plan is to get in a big horrible accident and get my car written off and take the insurance money. The only way I can do this though is by being in an accident that is not my fault.

The mission
Trying to get into an accident but not causing it.
Trying to get into an accident that is 100% the other persons fault.
This is so hard! I can't cause an accident but I need to get into one. WHAT AM I TO DO! The only thing I can do is hope that someone driving near me blows a tire ...swerves into me, crashes me a little bit and then I "lose control" give my car a little extra gas into the nearest light post or telephone poll and the plan is complete :D I hope I don't get hurt!

Animal of the day
The wallabee
I don't know much about the animal...I really just like the name.
It's like...if there was a guy named "Blade" and I didn't know anything about him or even know him. I would probably tell people he was my best friend cause he had such a cool name. Is that wierd?

MSN NAMES
Everytime I sign onto MSN I always think "what should my name be" and then I look at other ppl's names for idea's and all I see are young kids, teens, even adults...expressing their love to their "signifigant other" through there name. And I think...what better way to do it...Rather than telling them to their face, type it in on MSN and then let everyone else see. Maybe the best idea ever thought of in the whole entire world. Here some names I have seen or thought of...to express my love to "my signifigant other" through my msn name.

My love is bigger than a giant mennonite perogie
I love you more than that one really cute duck we saw by the pond
How can I go on without you...pushing my wheelchair
According to Mcleans Magazine your the best girlfriend ever
My love for you is like the titanic...except for the sinking part

Then of course there are the names that are taken from song titles and lyrics. An example I have recently seen would be "Can't take my eyes off of you". Some of my fab choices would be.

"You are so beautiful...to me...Can't you see?" - That lady
"Bawitdaba da bang da bang diggy diggy...etc" - Kid Rock
"Let's get it on" - Marvin Gaye

my favorite choice

"Her eyes are as big as her bubbly toes" - Jack Johnson (Robyn loves it when I tell her she has bubbly toes...ahahaha. I am laughing out loud cause that is so wierd and untrue"

Then finally there are the names that are 9 sentances long and don't really make a whole lot of sense...

"I love you so much that when I see you next I might hug you and remember when we through rocks at that lamp and then a skunk came and at that big toad. Your the best! I love you so much that I am going to go hang out with my friends tonight and maybe bring your name up when we are shipping shitzu's around the world to be sold on the black market"
-------------------------------
Well I hope this has been good...
I finished pretty much everything on my house last week "floors, paint, ceiling, etc" so I hope to move in this week. I need a truck to haul over some of the smaller stuff before Itake over the large things so if anyone has a truck I could borrow for a day or two (i'll trade you for my car...but only if you try to get in accidents) that would be ideal.
931-0038 if you wanna make a trade for a day or two...
I have to go make a portfolio...

Next time...
How to kill time when your girlfriend leaves for four months
Why Puking sucks
New and improved pick up lines
and maybe even another interview with one of the fishes...who are all looking forward to the move...or dying on the way.

2005-06-13T15:42:00.000-06:00

Well...it's monday afternoon and I am sitting on my parents computer at arlington beach thinking..."I should of brought my x box."

Thursday night I drove out here to surprise my lovely girlfriend a day early. We hung out for Thursday and Friday, shot off some fireworks and Saturday afternoon drove to my old stomping grounds. Caronport

Weekend
This weekend my little and only sister graduated from Gr 12 at caronport high school. Man...so crazy. I remember when I was graduating I felt like I couldn't get any older or smarter or anything. I just felt like that was it. I felt so old...now I look at her and think "there is no way you are that old..." Anyways, it was a real good weekend, saw quite afew peole I graduated with, my sister sang a couple of times and won some pretty rad awards. "Fine Arts Student of the year in the school" or something like that. There were for "extra curricular awards" Male and Female athletes of the year and fine arts male and female of the year. So that was pretty cool. I was impressed and maybe even proud... :S Yeah I was. So cool.

Movie Review
8mm
ActorsNicolas Cage, Joquain Pheonix (Ladder 49), Other ppl I don't know
1/1100 Stars
In the beginning it appears to be just another NiCk Cage action movie where he plays the same character that get's the crapped kicked out of him and he comes out victorious in the end. This does happen but....
Probably the second most disturbing movie I have ever seen (first place will always go to "The Cell" with Jennifer Lopez) Mr Cage is a private investigator and he is called to investigate a strange film that a widow found in her husbands stash. The video is a porn video and in the end the young girl is murdered on camera and that's all. The wfe wants to know if it is real or not. So Cage looks into this whole thing and get's all into the underground pornography ring and get's all caught up with crazy freaky people. There was some pretty disturbing scenes in the movie, not much nudity, just alot of sick crap! Don't watch this movie! Super blah!

Mp3 Players
I am not sure if I wrote this down already but I bought an MP3 player the other day and man it's cool! In 50 years it should save me money on burnt cd's. I didn't pay that much for it, (SALE AT FUTURE SHOP) the only problem I have with it, is that it is red. I don't like red!

Welll it feels like I should go lay down again.

Iam back in the city tommorrow. Hopefully before 6.

Kevin is Deif 1 the same parks as Parc Canada? Off of Confederation Drive?
Or is it over where we were before, just a different field?
Leave me a commentor or I'll call. I'll try to be back by then but I can't promise. My mom and dad are away for a funeral and my mom is coming back to the city wth me so it depends on what time they get back. Hope I can make it, but no promises :(

And...updated

2005-06-07T13:23:00.000-06:00

I am back into the swing of this blogging thing every two days or so...bling bling (just to make that whole sentance rhyme). So here goes another edition of "blogmus with thomas" (I am like eminem, except not as white).

Maury Povich
What a rank show Maury has birthed. It used to be somewhat cool, clean and wholesome, now it's just Jerry Springer without Steve (the bald body guard) same drama and conflicts and everything. I have no respect for that show anymore. Anyways last night was one of the "paternity test" shows to figure out who the father is. (That is all the show does anymore).
At first I thought this one test was sort of a joke. There was a girl...a caucasian girl (that means white in case you didn't know) and then there is a guy. A caucasian guy (white again). They had been dating for quite sometime and apparently had a kid together. Only...the girl wasn't sure if it was her boyfriends or not cause she had slept with an african american (black) guy. Now I don't know if maybe the boyfriend was blind or the mother was blonde but....THE BABY WAS BLACK! Seriously...it was so funny...like who are this guys friends that they couldn't say
"hey man...I am not sure if that is your kid or not..."
"well why not"
"well, your white and your baby...isn't!"
I really don't know how the boyfriend did not cue in on this. Anyways...they revealed the test and obviously it was "you are not the father" and the guy was just devastated...he seriously had no idea that his black child wasn't his. I laughed my head off. Not actually cause if I actually "laughed my head off" you would probably be receiving funeral invitations, not reading this blog.

Question of the day
Do they send out invitations for funerals?

Song of the day
My friend Rylan made a song for a wedding this past weekend. I listend to it last night and it rocked my world...Go here to listen to it! I dare you!

Baseball Update
Last Night I played my first REAL baseball game in about 6-7 years. Maybe even more. It went pretty good from my stand point. I made some plays in the field and batting I went 2/2 with 2 singles. So that's pretty good, I was surprised I could actually hit the ball. I would hope so after spending my life savings at the batting cages. In the end we won 20-1 I think and they let me keep the pair of pants that they gave me to play in. I think that means they want me to come back but....they may have just forgot to ask for them back.

I have a slo pitch game tonight but my gift of prophecy says that it will be rained out.

There serious Part - Vancouver Drug Addicts
I watcehd a documentary last night on Hastings Street in Vancouver. A place I was able to work at for 15 days of my YWAM deal. PRobably the most impacting 15 days of those 7-8 months. A little background on hastings. It is the poorest postal code in all of canada. The worst drug area in all of North America (worse than LA, Detroit, etc) Child Prositution Capitol of North America(don't quote me on that but that is what I heard) and a whole bunch of other crazy stuff. Anyways, as you can imagine (but probably can't imagine) the place is just insanely different than anywhere I have ever been.
Last night they were doing a documentary on some of the addicts down there and they profiled a couple of ppl who were former junkies. Anyways...I wasn't sure what I thought about this...but instead of going out and telling ppl they should quit drugs etc etc. They went out and they would take ppl's dirty needles in exchange for clean needles, give alcohol swabs, etc. They weren't really stopping drugs, they were just making it cleaner and safer so ppl wouldn't share needles, leave them on the ground, etc. In the end I came to the descision that what they were doing was probably for the better. It wasn't really helping anyone stop but it was helping keeping them safe which is more than what I am doing to help those ppl down there at this moment. I fell asleep before it ended...argho

Random Countdowns
Leanne (my sisters Grad) - 4 days
Till I move - Unknown
Till baseball is cancelled - 3 hours
Till I am not sore - 4 days
Till Jack Johnson's new cd - unknown

Ugh

2005-06-05T01:41:00.000-06:00

I am covered in tiny shards of fibreglass (also known as insulation) and I can't sleep at all. Everytime I move there is a tiny burning sensation or poke or prick somewhere on my arms or chest or somewhere. What am I to do! I can only shower so many times. I am never touching that roof again! I finished the cieling in the basement on the house. I just need a truck now to pick up some wall stuff and floor...anyone own a truck. For serious I need a truck asap.

Jobs Left To Do

Paint Upstairs
Pick out paint colors for upstairs
lay down carpet downstairs (no idea how to do this)
rewire lights in part of basement so they don't explode in my face (again)
lay down laminate upstairs
Finish walls downstairs
and other stuff that I make up along the way. As soon as I finish those four things I am moving in. Hopefully by next weekend it's ready to go. I need to mow the grass.

That's all...Kevin, I need directions for Monday if you read this. If not, ill call your cellular fone.

A thought in my head today
"This roof is teaching me how to be a sailor...well atleast the swearing part."

Back on the Band Wagon

2005-06-04T00:57:00.000-06:00

I haven't done this in awhile. I'll say it was one of my holdiday's for the year but I am back on the band wagon with lots of things to talk about. Even if I can't come up with things I'll make up stuff to talk about.

Zou
Well the "program" wrapped up for teh summer last Saturday. What an awesome night that was! We had 90+ kids out, hot tubs, professional spray painter (amazing pictures man! wow!), Rylan Shultz came and played music, this rad slip n' slide set up on the front lawn, Volleyball in the gym, road hockey (never realy got going), frisbee golf (it was kind of windy tho), we threw three computers off the gym roof, and squashorama which was my favorite, tossing up fruit and veggies and eggs and smashing them with a tennis racket. I am not sure what else was going on but it was just a great night to say the least!

House
Not moved yet but working on it alot. I am in the middle of putting up a new ceiling in the basement and painting down there. I just have to put down the carpet and it's done down there. then paint and floors upstairs and it's ready to go. I am liking doing it for the most part but I am just antsy to move in. Robyn surpised me Tuesday Night by showing up in the city for a couple days so I haven't gotten anything done since then, she is gone now though so I'll be back to work. Yeah good story...

The Rest Raunt Review
Last Night was Sara (Robyn's Sister's) birthday so we went out to East Side Mario's on 8th street. I ordered the firecracker bowtie shrimp and started to eat. It was only around my second bite in and I started to get this strange feeling in my throat and stomach. About 15 minutes later it was about time for me to get outisde for some fresh air as fast as I could and about 3 minutes later if you were driving down 8th street you would of saw me puking my guts out in front of east side mario's on the grass. It will probably be awhile before I go back...

Shrimp
On a side note I think I am allergic to shrimp...The past 3 times I have had it I have felt like all the poo in my entire body wanted to come out my mouth all at once...YOU GET ONE MORE CHANCE SHRIMP!

Family Guy Quote of the Night
"erica you know i love you but I gotta come clean
I'm not really a man, I am a woman
actually, i am not really a woman, I am a horse
actually, I am not really a horse, I'm a broom."

"Ok ok...so how do you feel"

"To be honest with you Diane, I'm surprised"

Music Review
Matt Nathanson : Pretty mellow acoustic guitar, I am not sure what I think of him right yet but he sounds like he is worth checking out if you like the stringed instruments and voices. 3 starts out of 5.25..ok never mind. I don't know if I really like him at all.

That's all...I am going to go to bed, later..
I like commece...i mean comments.

World Update

2005-05-25T20:58:00.000-06:00

Baseball
1 homerun
2 triples
lots of singles
slo pitch **shaking head**
We won both games last night...both games were actually called in the fifth inning cause we were winning by so much. I am not sure exactly of the scores. I think the first game was like 19-0 and the second was was 19-6 or something. I am not sure.

American Idol
Ok so I haven't watched the show that much but everytime I have I pretty much want to marry Bo Bice. Not actually but man that guy is so rad. Anyways...the show just ended and he lost...I don't believe it. It's actually probably better for his career that he isn't under contract with American Idol because they would take away what he really has I think. I am predicting he'll get pretty big anyways. He just has the charisma about him. Anyways that's all...

Long Weekend
I spent the long weekend out at Arlington Beach helping out with an event called May Rally. It went over pretty well I would say but that event needs to get some momentum back into it again. It used to just be amazing when I was in high school. It's just lost abit of zaz I guess you could say. "Kids" just don't seem to be into it as much...it doesn't help with YC being the weekend after I wouldn't think. Oh...I also got to hang out with my girlfriend which is pretty much the highlight of my so far. Yeah I have had a pretty un interesting life but it was good to see her. I am not a huge fan of being apart again. It's pretty much worse than being shot in the face with a water gun full of tabasco sauce.

Furnaces
Guess how much furnaces cost...alot!

Countdown
Till Last Zou - 2
Till I move - I don't know
