RMC videos

So I found these sweet RMC videos to just give you all a taste of what my first month in Kingston is going to be like. Looks uber fun and I can't wait.

Do I have to title this blog?

So much to talk about. Hmmm I'd start with the Scrubs season finale but my feelings on the subject are very deep and I can become easily long winded when I discuss that passionate subject. All I'm going to say is Keith and Kim are horrible characters (Hopefully Ashley reads this and decides to disagree about it with me). Keith is whipped and well Kim is just horrible (how could she lie to JD?! about his own child!). Like I said I'm quite passionate about this show.

The next good viewing I've had lately was the SCS Drama Club's production of "Whodunnit and to Whom". Which to start off with was amazing. I didn't really have a hot clue what it was about before I went and was sorta thinking it might be some really predictable play. Once again I was wrong. The plot was amazing, reminded me a lot of that movie "Stranger Than Fiction". I'm not much of an acting judge, but I'd say the acting was top notch. I'd hope anyone involved in it is proud of their accomplishments!

Saturday was a work day. Picked some stones and harrowed. Luckily around 5 or so I was able to slip out of working and headed up to Lake Audy, which was awesome time despite poor weather. Spent the first night in a tent, which was a little nippy at times. Sunday we just hung out, played some cards, walked towards the bison until we lost our nerve, took a small driving tour, jammed 8 people into a two man tent, rebelled against the adults (which worked for some), did some napping, and I think that somes it up. Spent that night in the camper, which was much nicer then the tent. Packed up and left, hung out with Adri a bit more, and then I came home. Amazing weekend! Got to relax, didn't worry about anything, my mind was cleared, and it was just great! Now here we are. So not much this week. My first election is tomorrow! Regina on Saturday and Sunday for the Regina Military Tattoo and some tour deal of some RCMP deal.

I Wish You Were Here - Incubus

Old song but also a great song.

Under 50

42 days till graduation and according to that link 48 until I start my training. What does that mean? I've got about 46 days of civilian life left until my 10 year marriage to the CF starts and man am I excited!

The Office Clips

So here are some clips of the show The Office. I spent this morning laughing at these clips so hopefully you find them funny. I had Tiffany confused at what I was laughing at!

Dig - Incubus

We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easier to identify Look me in the eye
And ask for forgiveness;
we'll make a pact to never speak that word again
Yes, you are my friend
We all have something that digs us,
at least we dig each other

So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you'll count on the me from yesterday.
If I turn into another
dig me up from under what is covering
the better part of me.
Sing this song
remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone.

We all have a sickness
that cleverly attaches and multiplies
No matter how we try
We all have someone that digs at us,
at least we dig each other.

So when sickness turns my ego up
I know you'll act as a clever medicine.
If I turn into another
dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song!
Remind me that weíll always have each other
when everything else is gone.
OK, each other when everything else is gone.

Less then 50

So in less then 50 days. 49 to be exact though closer to 48, I will be a graduate of Shoal Lake School. Less then a week after that I'll be over my head in real life and military life. Man am I excited. Everytime I go outside to work on the farm I get even more excited. That's because everytime I do farmwork I'm reminded about how much I don't want to spend my life farming. Did you know that in the Manitoba Job List Newspaper the school handed out that Farm Manager is the only job in the province that a annual average starting salary can't be mentioned?! I must say who wants a job where the salary is that unpredictable. Though you can't knock farmers. It is the most important career in the world, because with out them we wouldn't have food, and with out food life would be quite difficult. Did you know that farming is one of the oldest professions? The other oldest being prostitution. I guess we all know where the caveman's priorities were the day they decided to come up with professions. Though I guess we should all be happy their priorities were in those two areas or we wouldn't be here.

So I still have yet to recieve any paperwork from the CF, which is frustrating, though I know for a fact I'm not the only one in that boat or as I prefer airplane. It is undoubtedly part of the hurry up and wait lifestyle that every known military and military organization seems to have built into it. Though in my mindless meandering on the interweb I did find this little gem of info about my near future http://www.rmc.ca/military/ji/index_e.html

It's a good little read about how my life is going to become extremely fun in my eyes (despite the amount of work and such) or extremely hellish in the eyes of people who think it's like hazing. Anyways I gotta get up early tomorrow. I'm biking to school from now on as much as possible hopefully to get in better shape, because I'm quite out of shape and I have very little time to change that so that I don't die of exhaustion on IAP.

So Lately

So my last blog post was a review of Casino Royale. Once again I'm going to do a little review of the recent movies I've watched. Probably, because it's the only stuff I have to talk about these days.

We'll start with Alpha Dog or as the world knows it Justin Timberlake's adventure in the acting industry. JT's acting wasn't to bad to be honest. Though it's not hard to act like a spoiled suburban kid who's life consists of smoking a few Js, drinking, partying, and whatever else suburban kids do in California. The remaining actors were B listers with the exception of Bruce Willis who had a whole five minutes in the movie. The main B lister being Emile Hirsch who played the main character who's name escapes me. Alpha Dog was a true story and if this group of kids had sex every few hours then I'd say the movie was accurately portrayed. I wanted to watch a movie about some spoiled suburban kids who kidnap a kid. I did not want to watch porn, if I would have wanted to watch that I'd have rented it. So anyways back to bashing the movie. So these spoiled kids kidnap a 15 year old boy who coincidentally has an older brother who owes Emile some mean green. Emile the gang leader who doesn't really do much leading gives the kid to JT to take care. JT smokes some joints with him, drinks a beer or two, hooks the kid on smoking, and offers to let him go eventually leading to a friendship. The kidnapped kid even develops a love life while in captivity with some pot smoking older girls. So the dope smoking, partying lifestyle is portrayed for about an hour and a half. Then Emile decides maybe killing the kid is the only solution, though I'm sure giving the kid back and taking their chances in court would have been better. So one of Emile's pals picks up JT, another pal, and the kidnapped kid. Drives out into the desert. One pal freaks out and stays in the car, JT goes with the kid thinking that the shooting thing won't actually happen, the pal who picked them all up pulls an UZI and shoots the kid dead. Then the entire gang becomes divided and runs from the cops. Eventually getting captured and finally ending two hours of crap film.

Lastnight I went and watched Lucky You. 2 hours of Texas Hold'em with some minor A list stars. Not a bad movie considering what little material the movie was made out of. The main star in the movie was Eric Bana. I spent most of the movie trying to figure out what other movies I'd seen him in. Those movies being the Hulk and Black Hawk Down. In this movie he plays Huck Cheaver a professional poker player. The poker playing and freebird lifestyle kept the movie interesting until his Daddy and commitment issues became the main part of the story. The movie consists of multiple poker games, a romance with Billie Offer(Drew Barrymore), many awkward situations with his old man(Robert Redford), and many attempts at finding tons of money to play poker. The movie ends when he lets his old man win in the World Championship of Poker, he finally makes his love life work, and his issues with Daddy are cleared up.
