Some changes (career wise) are coming up rather quickly it looks like. After some phone calls made, and some resume beefing-up-of done. There is a good chance that by the end of the year I will be working in Brazil, or the United States on a "28-on / 28-off" schedule. Starting at a great pay, and being able to finally start travelling more for work. It's an exciting change, but it's gonna be tough, again, to try and live normally. This way I can live anywhere I want, really. And I can fly anywhere in the world as long as it's as much as, or less than flying home. So, those are some solid perks. The new position would be a senior-operator on a Underbalanced Drilling package. I could explain it, but it would take a lot of time comparing and a lot of oil-field jargon. Check out Schlumberger's Oilfield Glossary and learn yourself up!

Anyways, I'm making one more call this afternoon and I'll know for sure next week. Stoked!

Not now Chief

There's a few things that ring in my mind. One is the ear infection, the other is my main hate for the general population.

I made my presence at Lake Louise on Christmas Day, which is the first time in more than a year that I've rode on the mountains. (aka since I've broken my self). It was a beautiful success. But then again, not so much.

I've found myself to be one of the most hopeless, drag-your-feet romantics lately. I don't even know why. I have a pretty good meaningful conversation with a girl, and I want to continue it. That's ( as much as I hold myself in a regard where i would just berate and reiterate what I just berated) not like me. I hope it means I'm growing up a bit. The fact that I've been drinking all night and can still vent all of this means a little. But not much.

I hope to make my case certain when I meet that beautiful girl that steals my black heart and makes it red again.

It's been a while

So, I was on vacation for a while. But for now, this is how we roll:

Friggin' cell phone

I lost my blackberry. I kind of feel relieved, and I kind of had it coming (since I skipped it across the highway the other day because it was making me mad). So, I guess it'll be new phone time here shortly, working nights 100km from Grande Prairie doesn't help my situation at all.

Cha

I really have to start finding some new things to listen to, but you can always count on the classics

Finally

Well, I finally decided to splurge a bit and purchase a new computer. (I justify the purchase by telling myself if raises the health of my sanity).

Really though, I've just spent the last month in the middle of nowhere (Kakwa Wildland in Alberta) lifting heavy things and raping the environment (It's my job to).

So really, other than that, I went to the Calgary Stampede last weekend, and it was exactly as I expected. Too many pedestrian half-wits, and a whole buncha cowboys and bikers. But for some reason, I did meet a bunch of Irish folk, and travel in a limo, and have a hot-tub party until 6am. But that's nothing out of the ordinary, my expectations can not be exceeded anymore. I find myself quite bored with life, so what it comes down to now, is travel travel travel. Florida in October, Vegas (30th birthdays round 2) in January, and either Europe, Australia, or Thailand in the Spring. If I'm going to have nothing to show for my money, I may as well do it in style.

Ok

So my computer died, so I'll be posting on the fly from my blackberry for a little bit until I decide I want a new computer. Worst day.
