The Bacon Solstice Jan 31 2010

So note to self getting home at 2:30 am and waking up at 8 sucks. I swear my eyes were shut until I turned on the shower and stepped in thinking it was going to be warm but no it was cold as balls. Other then that unpleasant surprise the morning was uneventful.

Just going to say this bacon is the best. I knew that my lunch had a sandwich with bacon in it and it got me through the day. Then when I ate said lunch I had two sandwiches one with and one without. So now came the dilemma sitting in the staff room at caps. I had to choose the correct sandwich to each first because of course I wanted the bacon one last; I know what your thinking “look inside the sandwich”. That is cheating and that’s not how I roll. Anyways long story short I won. Evan 1 lunch 0.

The ride home was a little weird because it was still light out. It was the first time that had happened in a long time. I think that the winter solstice should either be a holiday or a huge party because it officially is the start of the days getting longer and less depressing (as long as its not raining or snowing).

After getting in I plunked myself on the couch thinking hey I will read a little but my body had different things planned. Instead I fell asleep for 3 hours then woke up because I was super hungry. Left over meatloaf anyone? Anyways that was the day if life is worth living its worth recording.

Birthday Fun Jan 30 2010

So today was and is going to be a good day. Work was busy as heck everyone was still sick. Then I came home ate some meatloaf which is awesome. After which melt a little sick but her that’s what happens when you eat pure fat. It is gunna be short today because I am headed out to my best friends birthday party, and I am already running late. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

Been Better Jan 29 2010

We all have highs and lows today was defiantly a low. I am a firm believer that foreshadowing happens all day every day. Today for example everyone at work seemed to be sick and irritable. When I get home to the inevitable fight I try to approach it with a level head and ask for nothing more but a calm tone and a logical thought process. But when someone is in the heat of the moment that is hard to comprehend. Afterwards a little upset I went over and watch the buds play a little poker (I was to late to join in). It was good to see them, and even better to laugh with them. The best thing is knowing that they are there for me. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

Evan vs. Toddler Jan 28 2010

Good morning world. It sure was not a pleasant start to the day seems how I was literally yanked out of bed at 7a.m. this morning because the bus a.k.a. my mom was leaving to go downtown. When we get down we spend some time with my favourite nephew; this kid is legit he knows what he wants and how to get it. It helps that I’m like his idol as well. What can I say I am the best uncle in the world for a 2.5 year old, at 3 maybe things will change.

After a ride in my favourite car in the world Audi a4 (I know its entry level but I don’t care because Audi’s are amazing). The ride was brief but the 6km’a was totally worth it. I ended up getting most of my camping gear sorted out which was nice... and expensive. Then proceeded to walk home with what felt like 400 pounds on my back.

Natasha made a beautiful dinner that I can still kind of taste. It was really nice to sit and chat with them. I can feel that we are getting closer and that we are building a common respect for what we respectively do. Afterwards Austin and I watched a little kung fu panda before I left to go home.

The pit stop home was brief before I headed over to Kristi’s for a movie night with a few buds. Anyways I am being anti social and should wrap this up. Remember if life is worth living it’s worth recording.

Evan Vs. A Train Jan 27 2010

Got to love Saturdays. This was an especially good Saturday (Wednesday). Kev and I got up mountain biking early today because he is done his exams. We rode burke but went higher then I have ever been. It was about an hour hike to the trail head that we were going. The trail was called STC and it was scary as hell. Kev ripped ahead while I was riding slow crappin my pants. I was pretty comfy on the bike for the first three quarters but the last little bit sketched me out because I crashed then that was backed but some technical riding which is not my strong suite. After getting back on the fire road we decided to ride my second favourite trail. For the first time I was riding the man made parts of the trail. All in all I think I advanced my riding skill a little more.

After getting home had a quick nap then it was back on the road. The 45-minute commute to the velodrome was topped by my epic race with the train. It seems at least once every month this happens. A train will sneak up below the highway and do to speed limits it can only go about 35k an hour… so the only logical thing to do is race it. Sounds easy but the Highway is anything but level. In the end it edged me out but not by much. The cops writing speeding tickets told me I was doing 34 so not that bad.

Once at the velodrome did my standard workout, and because I am out of shape this was a lot harder then usual. The hour at 40k an hour quickly became 50 mins. I quickly changed and rode home The ride home SUCKED I bonked worse then I have in a while. The commute home which is primarily downhill took over an hour. As soon as I walked in the door at ate more then I have in a long time. The proceeded to lay down and have a sore stomach…. But man was it worth it.

Possibly the biggest news is with Eagle Ridge Hospital. Got word today that they are backing me 100%. My blog will be linked on there website, and they will help me with the promotion side of the ride. I am over the moon with that news. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

Renovation Jan 26 2010

Man today went by quick didn’t feel like the day even started. Now that may be because I had home made brownies and was running off of sugar most of the day, but hey who cares. Work was busy with not only customers but renovation work. It felt like I was up and down a ladder about 500 times which realistically is not a bad guess. On the plus side we are getting close to the finish and it looks amazing.

Came home on the bike ripping it like a mad man. Around the corner I was making zoom noises (which makes you go 10% faster). Dinner was dinner everyone seemed a little testy tonight I don’t know why. So the perfect solution was go upstairs and sleep while they had the Michael Jackson movie playing super loud. Anyways I am out. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

It's A Thursday Jan 25 2010

So here is my day woke up, worked, then came home. My ride home sucked I was super hungry and tired as balls. Once home watched my regular youtube channels. These usually consist of Fluffeetalks, CTFxC, SxEPhil, and Shaytards. These people are arguable the face of the modern age on the internet, and all seem to be very genuine. It is kind of weird though because much like these daily blogs through the vloging process you see these peoples lives evolve. It is almost as if you have these personal stories with these people. Even though you don’t know them you get upset and fe these emotions when they don’t fallow up with there promises. I then proceeded to fall asleep through the entire canucks game, and had to settle for highlights. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

Some Hope For Hati Jan 24 2010

So who overslept and missed his morning workout? Evan! On the plus side I had a pretty stellar sleep, and another night where I had a good dream. I am finding my dreams are getting more realistic. So much so that it is getting kind of sketchy. Didn’t get lunch till almost closing time because it was hella busy. I would rather that then do renovation work so I will take what I can get.

Got home and had a really nice chill dinner whilst scream about the new Orleans game. WE WON! So stoked they deserve it; they are by far the coolest team in the nfl. After that re-watched the hope for hati telethon while doing a core workout. Now I haven’t given yet because I feel that our country itself is in debt by hundreds of millions of dollars and need to support and recover ourselves as much as any other country. Now I know that that is a cynical way to look at it, but life is about balance. Lend a helping hand but don’t extend that arm so far that it dislocated the shoulder. On that note Dave Mathews and Neil Young KILLED IT! Best song of the night. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

Luke Warm Tube Jan 23 2010

Got to love Saturdays it’s the one day that everyone gets to lay back (most people at least). I totally forgot that I made plans for the night when I said I was going to the velodrome last night. Hanging out with Kristi is always a good time though. It is nice to bond one on one with your best friend. Aaron and his girlfriend came over and we got in the not as hot as it should be tub. It was super relaxing and tiring actually. Had the first moment in my life where I felt old. We were reminiscing on memories from elementary and the old neighbourhood. It was not a bad thing because it was nice to relive some of that stuff it was just odd. Anyways I am off to bed remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

Slow Day Jan 22 2010

Really today was basic nothing really exciting happened. I find myself trying to make my commute by bike more of a challenge. How fast I can do it? How close can I cut the corner? Stuff like that. I find it amazing because it works. As each week passes I learn more and more about each corner and take more and more risk as trivial as that may sound on a bike. I have to watch it though because once you get confident that’s when shit goes down, and it will go down hard. Mind you I do kind of want a new helmet.

I was pumped to get home and set up my tent but the ground was still to wet, and I don’t want to break in the tent that way. The end of the day was typical watched a little tele, and fell asleep with the cat at my feet. Tomorrow the track. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

BUSY Day jan 21 2010

So 8 a.m. the phone rings. It is my dad and he says ill be there in 15 minutes. So I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying tog et everything ready. My directions were horrid because my printer had very little ink left and only had time to write two sentences. In the end we got on the road and rolling… until the boarder where I mentioned the trip and had to go talk to immigrations. It was all useful information that I needed but with a wounded dad it wasn’t the best timing.

Anyways my directions were awesome and got us there with no hiccups. Found American alpine institute. It’s a pretty awesome little house that has super ballin gear inside. One of which was my new awesome tent. This thing is legit that’s all I can say. Figure if you are gunna buy a house (tents) for a year you shouldn’t cheap out.

So after the trip back home walked in the door and got a phone call to go mountain biking. Of course instead of doing nothing ill mountain bike. Rode kev’s sweet fuel ex 8 and ripped the but out of the trails. Kev was feeling the hills though because he decided to ride his DH bike that’s a cool 46lbs.

Dinner was good but was no match for the awesome canucks game, and shaving my head. P.S. The beard is coming back its official. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

Good Day jan 20 2010

Let me just start off by saying pancakes are the best way to start off a day. I realize they have no nutritional value but I really don’t care. The only problem was I ate them to fast and felt pretty bloated after. But I had the perfect cure for bloating… a 10k run. Me and my buddy gregg went for a run and it was pretty sick I guessed the distance of the run perfectly on the nose 10k. He then drove me home in the most ballin vehicle ever. Yea you got it I rode in a street sweeper. It freaked me out because it has two sets of pedals and twp steering wheels which turn as he turns etc etc. The one thing he said is don’t touch anything; now this was tough because I wanted to use every one of the 50 switches in it.

After that spent some time sleeping and doing laundry and getting all my stuff ready for the trip to the states tomorrow. Then spent the rest of the night chillin with my good buddies Mia and Mario. Went to wings at the pub even though I didn’t have any was still good to catch up with them. Remember if life’s worth living its worth recording.

Road Trip? Jan 19 2010

I wont even talk about work today because I could feel my hair growing the entire day> I was super hyper, and I think every customer thought I was on acid or some awesome drug. Got home and ate a beautiful steak. This thing was so nice I cried a little while eating it. Every bite was better then the last. It was so good it didn’t even need steak sauce. Sorry my mind is everywhere right now. Played some counter strike next which really reminded me of high school metal fab class where would have like 30 person lan games that where just a riot because everyone got so into it. The road trip part was because I want to go down to the states and pick up my tent for the trip but no one can drop everything which blows. And going by yourself is hella lame. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

Something New Jan 18 2010

So I woke up today the same time I usually do. Then proceeded to eat the same cereal I always do. Had A shower like I always do. Rode my bike to work, and saw the same guy at the bus stop like I always do. I think writing down these daily occurrences are only amplifying the need for change they are showing me how routine a simple life is. We work to play for a couple days, then rest to work some more. Now don’t take this as anything depressing because I have 0 to complain about. I simply want something new. I don’t know what said thing is. Maybe something that is old but can be re introduced would suffice. We shall see.

I watched public enemy tonight the story of john dilanger a real American bad ass. And he lived his life the way I could only dream of (minus the robbing banks part). Day to day with no worry of what had past or what was in the future. I noticed in the movie the repetition of a theme of black. Now whether this is saying his lifestyle brought death to the people around him, or the lifestyle he lived was not as joyful as it seems I will never know. That is unless you change something and decide to live in the moment for now, and see what it brings you. Or rather what you take to it.

Sunday Blues Jan 17 2010

So I had a really weird dream last night. This river in poco was about 4 times the size it regularly is and a sky train derailed onto the riverbed. Now after that a sea bus drives by with a few people I recognize in it. Panicked I run beside the sea bus in nothing but my underwear and they didn’t pick me up. It gets weirder I meet up with a few buddies and we go to this school they say they want to go inside it; now this is where it goes super weird. I remember decided consciously what to do in my dream, and I decided to run down this goat trail and climb a fence and proceed to backpack down this trail. I have never had that before actually be able to control my dream.

Funnily enough that was actually the highlight of the day work was work came home and read a little. The only thing was trying to find some food was almost impossible because I have eaten everything and anything in the house…. Hooray for shopping. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

Tired As... Jan 16th 2010

So I didn’t get to sleep till about 3 a.m. last night so waking up was brutal. Work as busy and to be honest I just wanted to sleep. What was the perfect remedy to that? Breakfast for dinner. Made myself some pancakes and bacon. It was what I thought to be a perfect solution but no dice. I ended up thinking yea I could do a workout then sat down for a second and fell asleep for 4 hours. That brings us to 12 a.m. and the day is complete. I know thrilling day, but you pay to play. Remember if life is wroth living its worth recording.

Swimming and a Movie Jan 15 2010

So today was hella busy at work had a lot of catching up to do. I am gunna keep it brief because the buds are about to meet me back at my place. Good day went swimming love the sauna feeling great, couldn’t think of a better way to end a nice night then watch a movie with some friends.

Super Sunday Jan 14 2010

So woke up way to early today because my pops swung by to pick me up and take me to his place. I had to help him clean his entire place then take him to a few places. This took a lot longer then I thought I would but I really don’t care because he needs me at this point so I am more then happy to oblige. When I got back made myself some chicken pot pie and talked on the phone with Kristi and mia my two really good buds. Now I am usually a hyper guy but on the phone I take it to a new level. There is never a dull message or conversation that’s for sure. I don’t know what it is I guess the whole numbers and speaker thing push my buttons the right way… no comment.

Other then that watched the kersey shore. This show seems to be getting more sloppy as the show goes on. I have to say its kind of my guilty pleasure though. It’s the perfect workout show because it does always keep you entertained, and takes the mind off the pain your putting your muscles through. O yea about the chicken pot pies man they sucked. Took way to long to cook, and they were a goopy mess. Evan cooking ftw. Anyways happy Sunday (or Thursday to you normal people). Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

Near Death Jan 13 2010

Good morning world.. or good afternoon I guess if you wake up at 12. Was a stellar day ate meatballs, and wore a shirt with a lighting bolt. AAA the small things in life. Other then that having a few friends over tonight to catch up. O and almost died mtb’ing today. No big deal or anything. This one puddle looked about 1 foot deep turned out it was actually a portal to hell. If that helps to describe how deep it was. Front wheel got caught and went almost over the bars. Other then that got super muddy and did some chores. Relaxing day topped off with 60 mins on the bike. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

Damn You Mr. Hiccup Jan 11 2010

Hey Evan what day is it today? Tuesday….? Wrong it is Friday. So pumped and it showed. I don’t think that I stopped singing for more then 10 mins at work. Because we were listening to possible the lamest station ever (fun fm) it was like cats nails on a chalkboard. The other thing is fun fm, really? You are promising that I am going to have fun all the time. That is an impossible thing to do.

The worst thing was that I got the hiccup at 5 separate points today. Once in the morning, 3 times at work (which is kind of hard to explain to customer when they think your having a semi seizure), and now of course again when I started typing on the computer. It is the worst feeling ever because u have no control. You feel them coming but sometimes they physic you out and wait that extra second. Then at that point you think you have won the war; then bam it hits you again.

Other then that the only other thing was dinner where I made some meatballs. I went downstairs to go eat them after 30 mins of cooking, and of course I forgot to turn the damn oven on. Blame it on the hiccups. Remember it life is worth living its worth recording.

Hump Day Again... Jan 11 2010

Today start weird and continued that way through the rest of the day. The weird part was it was the exact same as Sunday. I ate the same food, did the same jobs at work. The I came home and had the same dinner. After dinner I spent time on the trainer. I don’t know was a little weird. I hate routine and it appears as though routine has struck me. I think its time to switch it up with some night mountain biking. That’s the perfect remedy. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording… That sounds familiar as well.

Happy Hump Day Jan 10 2010

Congrats we made it half way through the week. Good morning listen to some load music and eat some awesome cereal… cherrios anyone? I finally got my music working while I am in the shower again. Boy howdy I sound like 50 cent in there I spit rhymes so smooth. I am like silk… mixed with gravel.

Today seemed like a day filled with meat. Lunch was meat loaf. When I got home it was meat pies. Cholesterol warning. I felt a little guilty so I brought the trainer inside and watched the jersey show train wreck whilst burning some much needed calories. Short day, short blog. Remember if life worth living its worth recording.

Biking And More Biking Jan 9 2010

Woke up late again today which seems to becoming the norm. this kind of scares me because my moms wont be around to wake me up this upcoming week. So if I shit the bed and not wake up I am screwed. Got to work and got a lot done today which is weird for a Saturday. Met some pretty cool people to which is always nice. I also had the velodrome to look forward to.

The commute to the drome which usually takes about 30mins by bike was very pleasant nice warm night for a change. The only side affect is it made me lust for warmer weather so I could ride in shorts and a jersey instead of full commuter garb. Let me just say I am out of shape. After two weeks off of riding tonight was brutal. I went in with the mindset that I could do my regular 1 hour at 40k an hour. That was not the case I got 30 minutes in and said holy cats this sucks, and then struggled for another 10 minutes. On the plus side it was really good to see everyone again. It was pleasant to swap stories and just talk about nothing; then go out and ride. Those guys are almost like my second family.

The ride home sucked I was tired from riding and didn’t have anything to eat so I was starving. Once off the bus I limped the bike home the extra 12minute commute. Literally got in the door and started piling food in my mouth everything from meatloaf to cereal and everything in between. When you burn as many calories as I do it isn’t as bad as it sounds. Remember if life’s worth living its worth recording.

Family Dinner Jan 8 2010

Who woke up on time today? I Did, and man did it suck. I woke up before my alarm infact. I got a hot coco in me and I was set to go. Boy howdy did that come back to bite me in the butt later though. So work was busy had a lot of catching up to do because of course its my Monday. I apologize my thoughts are kind of everywhere today and cant really organize them that well.

Anyways I got home and my step brother his wife and nephew were over. My 2 year old nephew is the biggest bad ass out there. If he was a gladiator he would be the guy with the full helmet and the net. How does that fit his personality? I do not know, but you know what I mean. After a nice dinner he started to warm up to me again. It usually takes 2 hours or so but by the end of the night we were having our regular games. I spy (first time playing that). He taught me a lot what I view as black is viewed as the colour dark to him, what is red is lighter dark. Then for about 30 minutes we went back and forth saying yes and no in different patterns. I cant explain it but it legit is actually fun… even for me. This might say that I have the mental aptitude of a 2 year old. I wish life were that easy. I wish I could have no cares.

Enough of that though. I simply realize that I am growing up, and I want to make his childhood as grand as mine wise. Pass the torch to a new generation of family.

Half Marathon Anyone Jan 7 2010

I am gunna keep it short and sweet today. I woke up today to no internet… o no the world is coming to an end. What was I to do to fill the day. What else but a half marathon. Why you ask? Because my biking shoes were at work so the bike was off limits; or at least the bike that didn’t have a flat tire. I was way to lazy to fix a flat though. In retrospect I realize that the effort to fix a flat is small compared to that of running a half marathon.

Anyways was half way through my run at a good clip when my legs fell out from under me. My knee was killing me, and my calves felt like they were on fire. Not to mention I look like a scuba diver in my balaclava. So I made 3 pit stops on the way home to rest. Then once home I slept for 4 hours. Woke up then ate watched the nucks game and now bed is awaiting again. All in all a good day. Remember if life worth living its worth recording.

Mountain Biking + Chilli = Good Day Jan 6 2010

First thing is first sleeping in is amazing. Not very often do I get to experience this gift but today I did. That was until I got a phone call from work asking to follow up with a customer from the previous day which I have no issues with. The started to the day was typical nice and slow. No chores needed to be done, and a new season of my favourite show top gear was awaiting me. I love my 1870 Vauxhall but watching that show lets me drool and hear the sounds I hope to experience one day.

Next up was getting ready for a little night mountain biking. Now as a roady we are vain. Our kit as to match otherwise you look like a fool. Mountain biking is as bad though. You can’t show up looking wack, actually the more wack you look the more legit you are. This was the predicament I was in. Anyways not a big deal because its night time and I was going to be pooping my pants riding anyways. After riding down to the shop got to pick up the new mountain bike and man is this thing sick. 9 grand for this beast and they trust it to a goof like me.

So Kev finally got off school met me at the shop but we had to make a brief pit stop at the dirt jumps to sell his bmx to a kid. It amazes me these kids flying out of bowls and stuff run bikes with no brakes. Not sure whether I have a lot of respect for them or should shake my head. I think it’s a case to case thing.

After waiting what seemed like forever we got up the mountain as the sun was setting and started our 15 min rid e up. Once at the trail head we had our pre ride orange and set out. Now I have a super bright light n ym bars so that I can see with. Now this had one flaw on a switchback I cant see the exit because my bars are forward but the bike has to go the other way so I see nothing. Anyways at least I could see something Kev on the other hand had one small head lamp. I don’t know how he did it he was still faster then me. After ripping through about 40 mins of tails I was sufficiently scared. It is something about wet logs, deadfall on the trail, and not seeing anything that makes it so much more difficult. Near the end of the trail I was right on Kev’s wheel and he stops dead seeing these reflectors in the bush thinking it’s the start of a new trail. Then he just books it and says “THOSE WERE EYES”. Upon discussion we like to think it was just a coyote but realistically it was a cougar. Needless to say we didn’t go down that trail again.

Once home got some chilli in my sore body then went upstairs thinking “hey its only 8 pm sweet”. Low and behold I fell asleep and 10 pm came very quickly. But let me tell you the nap was worth it. Well that’s all I got on a good Saturday. Remember if life’s worth living its worth recording.

Scorn For A Scone Jan 5 2010

Hey Evan guess what day it is… duuuu its Tuesday. Wrong. It’s FRIDAYYYYY!! Automatically the best day of the week I don’t know why just is go with it. Work goes by fast mainly because I am in a very good mood. Customers love it because I talk even more with my hands. To put it in prospective I talk more with my hands then team America when they give the secret signal. Only one problem the baby bells I left in the staff room where frozen and un eatable. On the plus side I got myself a couple scones from cobs. Let me be the first to say they are gods gift to man. When you bite into a cinnamon scone u cry a little. Not because your enjoying it but because you are sad your almost don’t it. That’s is why you buy 4 at a time and get a discount. I personally think I am simple saving the planet by restricting tears shed.

The ride home was cold because I forgot my winter pants. Picture this tight leggings and a super loose coat. Mix that with a balaclava and you have the makings of a rapist… or me riding a bike home from work. Home was fine dinner was good because I stood watching the Canada junior game and pooped my pants when we went to overtime. Then after that chilled. Pleasant night all in all. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

Sleep Talking Jan 4 2010

So today started a little weird I kind of work up this morning around 5 and said hello to my step dad and don’t remember anything else. It is hard to explain but I was conscious enough to talk but not to remember what I said. Then to top it off turned off my alarm without knowing and woke up late.

On the plus side I got a ride to work, where I had a day of getting ready for inventory ahead of me. Ask how excited I was about that at 4 o’clock in the afternoon upstairs belting out lyrics to my favourite songs. When you say it that way doesn’t sound to bad but trust me it is.

The bus ride home today was pretty sketch this one guy would stop staring at me for the entire time and I didn’t want to make eye contact for fear her would strangle me. Thankfully he didn’t get off with me and smother me with a garbage bag. Dinner was delish we went to this super cool Japanese place that plates there food amazing. Shout out to sushi town 101... they are legit. The only negative is when I got on the trainer for my workout the spicy salmon roll and don didn’t feel so hot. Thus why I turned the lights in the garage off so I could just focus on my breathing and not the inevitable shart. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

Chill Day Jan 3 2010

Sunday is the only day during the week that is designed to be chill. I don’t have to do chores (save those for the days off), sleep in, and a short day at work. Today was no exception I was lazzzzyyyy. Got up later then I wanted to because apparently I needed 1.5 hours to shave my head this morning when really it takes 15 mins tops. More important then anything I opened a new package of underwear. I just have to say new underwear feeling is amazing its like a light comes on top of your head. It makes you realize how stretch and gross its brothers are.

Work was pretty laid back as well. Lunch was amazing it seemed to take the entire day for it to end, and I even slipped in a little nap. The end of the day quickly approached and the 5 o’clock shoppers came in. got to love em keep you there 30 mins after your shift. Anyways the ride home was dark but all my lights were working for a change, and my new balaclava is warmer then a beaver. Plus it makes me look even more like a terrorist then before. Although that last point may not be such a good thing.

Came home with goals of a workout… that didn’t happen. Instead we had a nice family dinner that centred its conversation around my sister lack of pooing in her new house but hey that’s what makes us family. Afterward I jumped into my new camera and a 300 page book on how to become less of an idiot with it. Let me tell you it was a mind bender at some points. The book quickly ran over time which left me no time to do my nightly workout. Meh just got longer tomorrow. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

Back To The Grind Jan 2 2010

Its official the holiday season is over. I woke up to the sweat smell of a dieing Christmas tree and decided it was a good morning for Reeses puffs and hot chocolate (the ultimate diet). Needless to say I was not so pumped for a full shift at work, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was busy as usual and the frustrations of customers last week seemed to have been toned down; people have chilled out a little. The only negative that I could think of was Shayla couldn't stop by before she left town.

The end of the day came quickly, and I called home to make sure I was taking the bus home (rare because I usually bike). Again I was surprised the answer was no my sister came to town and offered me a ride. By offer I mean I bribed her with a slurpee on a day where our high in Vancouver felt like 7 degrees Celsius. It was worth it. I came home to face my tower of clean laundry in my room and have still not organized it.

A quick 20 min workout was short and sweet because I had other things on the mind… main my future with the race team. I decided to halt my training with the race team for now. My reasoning was that the riding seemed to become more of a job, and I need to dedicate more time to my trip. All in all another good day especially since it’s Sunday is sleep in day! Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

A New Year Jan 1 2010

For 2010 my resolution is to update a journal (blog) every day for a year. For all those reading my name is Evan over the next months maybe even years you will get to know me and what’s going on at that point in my life. My grammar my not be the best, and I may not always make sense; all I ask is that you appreciate the words that I write.

2010 defiantly started with a bang. My friend Joe had his annual new years bash at his place.
