I'm home safe after a gruelling bus ride, and now I will go to bed and sleep my troubles away. It will be nice to sleep for a while after the long and ardeous bus ride which just happened. The Bus driver was quality, I think I will share about him later. Peace yo.

The time I spend here is spent reading, thinking and hoping the phone will ring, and watching either Newsworld or Discovery Channel. The Job hunt is not going so well. I have not found either a job or a interview. I feel quite inadaquate for the most part, I have never had a problem getting a job, granted I never applied for jobs either, I simply had my well connected parents call up their friends and see if they had a job for a poor student. I have however been enjoying the museings of one Jules Verne in his tale "Around the World in Eighty Days". It is quite amazing, and unlike the preview I recently saw for Jackie Chans version, it is real and more too the point. After said Verne I will move my literary stylings a few decades ahead to the great Canadian author and noted Vancouverite Douglas Coupland. I plan to enjoy both these books in due time. I also have Tintin in storage for later consumption. Calgary has been blessed with a wonderful array of weather the past couple of days. If was sunny this morning and then later this aft if grew cloudy and then tonight it actually rained. What a great treat it was to enjoy the pleasures of this interesting and wonderfully weatherful city. Currently I'm listening to Josh Groban and Sarah Brightman. It is also quite wonderful, seeing as everything is wonderful tonight I will now share something that is not wonderful, the fact that I have to find a way to my brothers grad, and I do not have that way as of yet. Hows that for unwonderful. Perhaps I will take the Grayhound and spend some money, and that will be alright. I'm in need of sleep and as such I will head off to bed now after reading some Verne and washing my face, adieu to all.

You may have heard that the flames won last night to put them in the Stanley Cup finals. I was in calgary at the time. It was a pandamonious night. I watched the last period on Stephen Ave, and then when they won proceeded to 17th ave. An experience to last a life time. I mean when do you get to walk down 17th ave with 25,000 people all cheering for the same team. It was quite the interesting time. There were 7 of us in total who braved the streets, and we managed to stay together for most of the time. There was one point where the crowd was so tight that I could not move my feet due to the other feet pressing in on all sides. I have never given so many high fives in one night. Everyone was cheering and cars were honking and general rowdyness was going on. You may have seen the news stories and yes I was right in the middle of that crowd for a period of time, until it just got too be too much and then we left. Oh did I mention that it was raining last night as well, so not only were we in a crowd of what seemed like millions, but we were wet and sweaty, what a great combonation. And after this shindig of walking in rain and getting the led out I went back to a warm apartment and tea, it was a great combo if I do say so myself. I continued looking for a job today, still nothing, but there are applications out there so I have to wait and see what comes of all this applying and hoping. Diana Krall is on the jukebox tonight, and she is making me groove to the jazz beat. I had a tuna caserol tonight for dinner, it was made with cream of chicken soup and lemon pepper lingunie. It was interesting to say the least, but not that good, only moderatly good. Oh and the other night I saw "Troy". It was alright, nothing to write home about, I guess since I'm writing about it I am in a way writing home, but none the less there was lots of blood and Computer Generated things, and granted some sweet fights, but some of the acting was not up to par and it was just kind of a disapointment from all the hype it got. Enough babble for now, go and walk in the rain.

Back in Cowtown after 3 weeks on the road with "Crafted". It was a great time of playing and meeting people and getting to be better friends. Its sad that I now have to find a job in this town so that I can live and eat and such. If you want to give me a ring e-mail me and I will give you the phone number. I cleaned the bathroom this morn seeing as it had not been cleaned in days and I felt dirty walking out of my shower. I also recieved a call from Walmart they were wondering if I wanted a part time summer job, I said that I wanted full time and they sad ok, and then the dude passed my application on to the portrait studio. I would really like this job, it would be nice to have a variety of experiences on my record. That would be keen, now I have to go and find some money. Peace.
