All the stuff I needed to do back in Canada is done.
All done.
Mission accomplished.

Going back there has really opened up a whole lot of memories.
It reminded me of how cool I thought it was when I first landed there 10 years ago.
How much of a culture shock it was to try and blend in to a new way of life.

Took the bus pretty much everywhere and I remember how many times,
I stood at the bus stop in freezing weather, not feeling my toes.

Since I get off at the last stop,
I remember how many times I fell asleep while riding it,
and the driver had to wake me up when everyone’s gone.
Some of them got tired of it, that they don’t approach me anymore.
They just step on the brakes really hard so I would fall of my chair.

I passed by the first apartment, Tracy and I lived in.
That place was right by downtown, beside a busy street,
That every time a bus stops, our light fixtures vibrate.

That place also has no heat; well there was a furnace that was made in 1912 I think,
That couldn’t really heat up the 10’X10′ single apartment.
And if we crank it up, we’ll surely expect an average of $350 on our Hydro bill.

We were so broke, that Tracy had to count and save the eggs we had
so we’ll have food the next day.
We only had one chair and no table so we had to eat on the floor.

WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE,
WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS??
ENOUGH WITH THE PITY PARTY STORY!!!

I don’t even know what I am getting at.

All I wanted to say is,
that we have gone through a lot.

Also, how much I missed Tracy while I was away,
And I realize how important she is and not take her for granted.

Relationships tend to do that to you.
You spend so much time with one another
that you take each other for granted.
And it’s quite sad that people mostly realize that too late.

Now that we are all together again,
And my next objective is to complete and seal our relationship.
I intend to marry her.

Hopefully she’ll still say “yes”.
If not,
I’ll let our son Tyler ask her for me.

Nobody can say “no“ to that kid.

Here in Canada for 7 days now.

It did not take that long for me to hate the cold again.
(Say about 2 hours.)

Tyler got sick from the sudden change of temperature.
Poor kid.
He’s been dragged to travel from all this crap.

But today, I turn 30.
Oh God.
That’s it.

Today I woke up as a grown man.

Today I woke up with a whole different perspective of the world.

Today I woke up thinking on how to improve my life.

Today I woke up remembering my past.

Today I woke up smelling chocolate cake my mom used to make.

It was 4 in the morning,
And she really was baking me a cake.
It must really be my birthday.

Good thing we stayed at her house while we are here.
This place never runs out of food.
I like food.

Today was a good day.

*Sighs*
Happy Valentines Day to all.

It truly is beyond words.
The Lord of the Rings: Return Of The King,
truly is an epic masterpiece.

Thanks to Tracy’s Mom for coming over for a visit
and offered to watch over Tyler
so we can go and see it.

Thanks to the makers of the film,
for a movie I have truly enjoyed.

Thanks to Professor Tolkien,
for his contribution to this world.

Now, I can’t wait for it to come out on DVD.
I guess I’ll just have to read the books (again) before then.

Although I have a question,
Why didn’t just Gandalf send the Eagles to help Frodo
fly over Mount Doom so he can cast the ring into the fire?
That would have saved everybody some trouble.
Hmmmmmmm.

Oh well.
What do I know.
Like I said,
I am just a guy with a website that sucks.

Okay, I better go pack my stuff.
I gotta fly to Canada for a bit.

All three of us here have been sick
like we were brewing the flu bug or something.

You know those medicines that say 8 to 12 hour relief from congestion, cough and fever?
Lies!! All lies!!

We brought Tyler to his Doctor, because he’s been sick for quite a while now,
It’s just nice that Tracy is a Registered Nurse,
that she gets to talk medical stuff to them and explains it all to me later.

The Doctor also noticed Tyler’s diaper rash and gave us this “Prescription Tushy Cream”
Since he concluded that what we were using wasn’t effective.

Prescription Tushy Cream??
Now, are people really abusing this stuff out in the streets that it has to be prescribed?

Is there a Betty Ford Rehab for Tushy Cream addicts out there?
Therapy sessions maybe?

Tyler’s Doctor sent us to the hospital for some tests,

Now one cool thing about this Hospital,
“Valet Parking” – Sweeeett!!!
And parking is free!!!
Free Parking!! A system that is unknown in Canada.

I don’t mind being sick,
Except for the cough.
I hate having the coughs.

I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.

Especially when you’re asleep,
And you wake up just to cough.

Did I mention no cough medicine works?

I need to get out and get some fresh air.
The three of us here in this house are passing the virus to each other
like the Quaffle at the World Cup Quidditch Game.

Oh yeah, I read Harry Potter books 3 and 4 again.
And will start 5 soon.

Why?
Because I am sick.
And I am in the bathroom a lot.

Anyways,
What was I saying?

Oh yeah,
We need to get out and get some fresh air.
But it’s cold out.
We had freeze warning here in Florida for the last 5 days.

What is the deal?
I thought this is the Sunshine State?
Somebody lied to us!!!

Oh well.

What can you do”¦.

How about some of these new cool links??

Thanks to Webstrings.com for the images.

Also, The Photos are up, for the meantime.

That’s it for now.

I received this forwarded email from a friend.

Why Worry?

There are only two things in life to worry about:
Whether you are well,
or whether you are sick.

If you are well,

then there is nothing to worry about.

But if you are sick,
there are only two things to worry about:

Whether you are going to get well,
or whether you are going to die.

If you get well,
then there is nothing to worry about.

But if you die,
there are only two things to worry about:

Whether you are going to go to heaven

or whether you are going to go to hell.

If you go to heaven,
then you have nothing to worry about.

But if you go to hell,
you’ll be so busy shaking hands with all your friends,

that you won’t have time to worry!

So, Why Worry?
Be Happy.

Now what I am really worrying about now is:

If I don’t forward this to 10 of my friends,
within the next hour,
I’ll have bad luck for a year.

I don’t have 10 friends.

Maybe I’m exempt.

We spent most of our days in Canada without a Family Doctor.
Everyone knows that Medicare is free up there.
Well, not really “free”.
I believe it’s being taken somewhere from the 900% tax we got.

Now, We did try to have a family Doctor.
Especially after Tyler was born.
And tried we did.

Not one Doctor was taking any patients.

The Medical shortage was taking it’s toll.

We were told to check this website – CPSO
And look for a Physician.
So we did,
But even though we called each and every one of them,
The answer we got still ended up in frustration.

It’s also annoying when something happens, and you need to see a Doctor,

Either you go the the Emergency or you go to a Walk-in Clinic.
Either way, you spend a minimum of 5 hours in the waiting area.
Then when it’s finally your turn, they ask you who’s your family doctor,
And it’s like it’s your fault when you tell them you don’t have one.

Quite maddening, really.

So now we live in the States,
I am quite apprehensive on how to deal with the Medicare down here.
Even though I dislike the Canadian Health Care system,

I am still glad that I can go and get looked at
without any money in my pocket. (after hours of waiting)

So anyway, our priority for now is to get Tyler a Pediatrician,
And Tracy acquired this long list of them from the phone book.
Called the very first one Doctor closest to us.
And next thing you know,
We have an appointment on Tuesday.

That easy.

Last thing I heard.
Both Canada and the U.S. are both in Medical shortage.
Except one is doing something about it.

I don’t know.
Maybe it’s just me.
