Monotony! I hate you!

Yes! I hate monotony! My current definition of monotony is polishing everything in sight with recycled, stripped up sweat pants (there's actually a company making money just selling boxes of ripped up sweat pants. Is that legal?). Where as my previous definition of monotony was pushing symbols back and forth across a computer screen. Will I ever be happy with my job? Well, give me a month on that question.

So how did I golf? Do you even have to ask that question? I was, however, mildly surprised (okay, shocked from disbelief) that I kept my ball on the fairway most of the time. I started the round with six balls and ended with six balls. Of course, one of the balls was one I found on the 5th hole, so it just replaced the one that I lost passed the same hole. I actually hit the ball way to hard and, ahem, hooked it into some tall grass on a hill, and, thus, it was lost forever.

Highlights:
- Using only putters on certain holes
- Watching guys tee off beer cans
- Almost hitting the golf marshal with my ball after being chided into trying in but not really meaning to do it (that's how much control I have over that little ball)
- Actually paring the final hole
- The terrific steak dinner afterwards

Lowlights:
- People drinking too much
- People drinking too much and picking fights
- People drinking too much and picking fights and actually being the one picked on

Yup! I got into a little tussle. It wasn't too bad because the guy was stinking hosed, but what sucked was that this guy was considered a friend of mine. He actually smacked my drink into my face while I was drinking it. I thought he was joking around although I didn't find it funny at all, but when we ended up on the ground I new he was serious. No provocation other than someone had stolen his steak dinner while he wasn't looking, and no, it wasn't me. No punches were thrown thankfully as I'm a lover, not a fighter (Michelle is probably laughing really hard right about now). We just ended up on the ground, and I held him securely until someone broke us up. I was a little upset at him, especially since he couldn't remember why he did it. He only said that I did something to upset him (not his actual words) but couldn't remember what. Not good enough for me! I told him not to talk to me till he was sober on Monday. Well, today he came up and apologized, and he said that he couldn't remember a thing. After he told me how much he had to drink I could understand why he couldn't remember. I just told him that I would only hang out with him till he had a certain amount of BEvERageS and then I'd find someone a little less violent to hang with. I don't need that kind of stuff in my life.

Other than that, the night was good. I turned in after the golf course portion, and apparently missed a whole bunch of more fighting. Which is just fine with me! I'm a lover, not a fighter (stop laughing, Michelle, or they'll never believe me).

The rest of the weekend was pretty tame. Played some PS2, read a good book, and watched two good movies. If you ever get the chance, I really recommend a movie called Run Lola Run. It's a fun little German movie set to some good techno and is just strange enough to keep me interested. Check out the link I've provided, but if you ARE going to watch it, I recommend using the subtitles as the voices that have been dubbed in make the movie unwatchable.

Well, that's it for this instant. I have some things to mull over that will affect where I'm at in the next month or so, and I'll let you all know what they are as soon as I've worked out everything. Until then I'll be secure with the knowledge that I've teased you all with that little tidbit. Ciao!

Sorry to here about the Monotony Derek. Isn't it monotony that makes the world go round. No it isn't, I am just teasing. So you still remember pushing symbols across the screen. Come to think of it I haven't pushed a symbol around for quite a while. I have been stuck working on this huge MLU report for the Quinitsa. And I am sure you want to know, and No I did not cause the ferry to sink. Natasha has a firm belief that they were all drunk and that is why and no other reason. You know her she is funny that way. Also BC Ferries had us sign a non-disclosure agreement with regards to the Queen of the North, but here is the kicker. They offered us ten dollars to do it. What a slap in the face eh? I think it would have been better had they not offered any money at all. And no, we didn't take the money but we signed the document anyways. It was kinda funny cause Earl had emailed Dave saying what a wast of time working on the fire equipment manual for the North and now it is usless to us. Go figure. Anyways I guess I have blabbed on a bit. I am happy that you had fun with your family. Talk to you later.

Regards,

Tymen
 
Hey Derek, LOL about Mike and Shannon hacks. I think they would be proud. Quote "I told Mike to act his age once, so he went senile". that was great. I even asked him if he read your blog in the last little bit, he said "I don't have time, I sit in front of the computer because I have too". then I asked him have you been playing any card games lately??? Guess what his answer was. I just shook my head. I'm not that great for reading your blog but I do try for once a week. Tim Hortons still wants me to keep playing. I've one 2 coffees and 2 dognuts so far.YIPEEE. TTYL, DAN.

PS. Kathi has been reading your blogs every now and then to. She told me shes enjoyed most of them.
