yesterday as a bit of a bust and okay at the same time. penelope wanted to get some pie so we headed over to savary island and had some lunch and some great pie. while we weere there we ran into joel who was there to meet his parents and talk some sort of real estate action. i think joel started getting his shit together well before me and most anyone i know - and this depresses me. it's my own fault and no one else's but it still depresses me. joel has a house in west van - probably worth close to a million bux and he's the king of RRSP's, etc. and will have a great retirement. i, conversely, will work until i drop and will live in the box i own now until the end of my time here. oh well. two guys, the same age, world's apart. i think it's a pretty good bet that one day i'll lose it and sell everything and move to a third world country and sell beer on the beach-that's my retirement plan. and at the rate i'm going, hating this city more and more every day and not really seeing any chance of advancement, it could be sooner than later.
ok. the pie yesterday was good though.
corie and i played a little hockey last night as well. two games in two nights. it used to be that when i played a lot of hockey my skill level increased or stayed at a resonable level. now, i just feel sore and the level of my play seems to drop every game. and we get into these games with guys who love to use the stick for anything but moving the puck. and i refuse-for now anyways-to retaliate but i may soon. i just wanna skate, have fun and go home. i don't need the stick work and don't want to have to tune-up another old dude like myself. i was saying to corie last night that it's pretty disconcerting to work out at the gym, play hockey and feel like you're in worse shape than you were a couple of months ago. he suggested a trainer to get max. results. he's probably right. but i just wonder if it's because i don't have the drive anymore. i just don't care enough. does it really matter if i lose a few pounds? does it really matter if i'm in better shape? right now i'm not convinced. it's early though. i may care by the afternoon.
also, last night at hockey craig northey gave me a jacket that he had just gotten a few months ago from a friend of his. it's a blue, wool, letterman type jacket but without the waistband at the bottom so it falls straight. the night before at hockey i told him i liked it and he said his pal simon had given it to him. then last night i told him that when he was done with it, i'd like to be considered as the next owner. he then took his stuff out of the pockets and brought it over to me. i was a little stunned and felt guilty at the same time. it really was a very nice gesture. and i shouldn't be surprised as he is a great guy and the type of guy who would give of himself if he can. he's now in line for any big rookie merch or lawn order merch that comes down the pipe....thanx craig.
ok. i need to deal with some shit. i have to make a couple little prototype shelf things for a friend's shoe store on main street, get some info on a neon transformer and figure out a way to get rid of my couch. i know i'll be able to figure out two of those things.
