I get away to play golf and practice @ Deer Valley and then I go back downtown and drink Irish Whiskey. My first couple of months in Regina I totally lived downtown: weightlifting, drinking caramel machiatos @ Atlantis.

There is a City Hall forum about municipal waste management until eight on tuesday. I hope there is a will to use it for biofuel production instead of cellulose.

I saw enough live music this winter: Veruca Salt’s version of “Bullet with Butterfly Wings” and Champion shook the foundation before The Hives blew the roof off the building.

I bought a PSP to relax when I am not working in my apartment.

I am writing a story about the dynamics of a egotistical and a settled persons. I explore my ideas. I am currently looking forward to writing the first draft.

This is beautiful writing because it makes eyes wide-awake. I stopped and enjoyed my self this weekend. I also had a few beers watching t.v. @ the brew pub downtown.

I moved to Regina a couple of months ago. I am continuing to write my story and play guitar. I am bothered by the lot of litter but I persevere.

I didn’t know there was a fight between the girls. I just thought they weren’t talking but its a silent war. What are they fighting for? I am trying to organize a meeting to resolve their issues. But I cannot attend because I am just starting work and there is no need to leave.

I am spending the day returning to Regina and watching curling live. The weather is turning and hopefully the snow will be gone soon. I want to save the save the snowflakes like kittens but then the reality of cold sidewalks breaks it. I like living in the city although I am mostly disgusted.

I am basically settled in Regina: I have an apartment with stuff, work and a third place (but not Starbucks).

I am content with my excellent writing skills.

I am continuing to look for work in Kamloops. This pilgrimmage began in August ‘06: I took some plants from Prairie Plant Systems, jumped off the Uni. bridge, flew to New Zealand…now I am unemployed and living at my dads. I don’t know if this is progress or not.

I may settle in Saskatoon. I got sophisticated and developed some hobbies there. Now I may just take it easy in BC. I have an espresso machine @ home so I can make good coffee there and a few six-strings, computer and car.

Winter is ending too.

I am definately overwhelmed by my responsibilities and looking forward to a trip west this christmas. I am then planning to take some university courses and continue working in the coffee shop part-time. I am now working wednesday - sat. mornings. I am living in different part of Saskatoon and not too scared. The weather is depressing although I am managing to make time for outdoor activities like walking and shovelling the drive. I may try skiing in BC and pinot noir wine. Then I want to go to the beach.

Today I had a good morning and did laundry. Then I walked too exercise in the gym. There are free-weights and cardio machines and tv and coffee. I bought a cup of coffee with milk and began lifting weights. I went back outside and sat on the bus to work and read a magazine. It was enjoyable. At work I cleaned alot of garbage. I went to my basement suite. I reflected on my couch and wrote some. Then I played guitar and the child upstairs bothered me. I just wanted to cook Tea but I discussed the story she is writing. I didn’t tell her about the story I am writing. Then I stir-fried beef and brocolli and onion and rice. I don’t know how to use chop sticks properly but I am learning in the “not really big city”.

No telephone booths, stiff collars, necessary noise, language and clean skin in the north. I had another adventure canoeing and fishing which was peaceful and now my adventure in Saskatoon continues. I am gonna take a dinner and talk about it at my moms tonight. I am also busy seeking jobs.

Today my feet were rested and the walk to the outhouse felt like I was back inside a house in New Zealand. Then I went back inside and started a fire to warm the air. Then I put on the propane hotplate a pot of coffee and some Denver sandwiches for breakfast. After enjoying the warmth I went outside and tried fishing. I got my line caught and had to get the canoe to unhook my Plug.

After fishing, I stayed in the porch and cooked some hamburger melts on the barbeque which I ate with cold Tomato juice. After dinner I began putting on layers of wool, as the fire was almost exhausted. And I was far and farther away from the heat in the kitchen where I wrote and played, and in bed where I read and slept.

I am in Winter and tree-planting and I can't wait to leave. Maybe I will go away from the cold and start living in California. But Saskatoon is holding my leash. I have to find other work and that is a bummer. I need to eat and sleep here.

In Mot. I would start my days around 4:30 in the morning without an alarm clock and I wouldn’t have coffee. I was poor as the job was mostly new and the pay was based on production so I didn’t make much. Now, I try to start each day around 5:45. I have money to drive to the coffee merchants in S’toon and buy a coffee before I go to exercise.

When will I stop talking about New Zealand? Work, Work, Work, Work, Work, Volunteer!

28/07/07 Notes:

I have sympathy for myself therefore I am taking it easy and procrastinating.

My job at the Uni. ended yesterday: more time for playing guitar but no fresh ground pepper

I am about to start June with good times I’ve aggreed to rent a bachelor located downtown in City Park. But I don’t think that I deserve it. Nor my summer reading. And no one is reading this. I am staying at my moms in the meantime and I’ll owe I will continue listening to my gut which is not easy. But I am a grown up with my possessions which will furnish the apartment I’ve aggreed to rent. It is located downtown in City Park. I should be able to it.

I am enjoying living at home although I am trying to move into another spot in Saskatoon while I am totally making my own schedule; my tasks include writing in my blog. I haven’t given myself a lot of time to put my feet up and sleep although I may do this sooner or later. But, please continue to read my entries and leave comments for me.
p.s. I like the above image of my writing pen, sketchpad and some thread I prepared, which are unrelated yet there seems to be a curved line drawn on a piece of paper on the coffee table in the common room where there was a beautiful view and we would listen to Snow Patrol or was it the Weakerthans. Actually I can’t totally remember. The view of Saskatchewan, and an expression and my madne
