in a violent place we can call our country
is a mixed up man and i guess thats me.
the sun's in the sky but the storm never seems to end.
its a place of sorrow but we call it a home.
and the darkest thoughts yeah, i guess they're my own
there's wealth in the bank but there's nothing to show inside.
its cloudy now
its getting cloudy now
in a special place that i call my life
the father was cruel and he lost his wife
but i don't see either cause i live across the street
its a beautiful thing when it starts to rain
a man who drinks just to drown the pain
and i can't stop from dreaming
there's something else.
its cloudy now
its getting cloudy now..
we are a fucked up generation
it's cloudy now

This is lame, but I am watching a movie called Irish Jam and it makes me want to go back to Ireland. Ive never really had a desire to go there until now. Western Europe doesnt interest me as much as other parts of the world. But, that being said I want to live in Ireland...just for a little while...in a small town on the coast. Maybe make an honest woman of someone.

Each and every person is her or his own. Their philosophy unique and special. The most we can and should expect from others is that they go about life growing and learning in thier understanding of the world we live in to the best of their ability. Any less is ignorance, any more is arrogance.
When I come to a belief about something I do so in the best way that I know how. And though my methods can be questioned based on there validity, I can not be unless I am knowingly being ignorant to the results of my own methods. This is what I must realize about others. As long as they are being honest about what they've witnessed and what they've claimed to know as a result of their methods then I can not expect anything else from them. Except that they pursue growth and evolution in there methods as a result of their conclusions.
When the dust settles, I have to realize that my understanding is a very limited one, and this goes for everyone else. Each working out of their own perspective which is constantly being influenced by enviroment, which is constantly affected by their own perspective.
I can not claim to know any ultimate truth. I heard it once said that it takes the most impressive amount of courage to believe in something and still realize that tomorrow it could be proved false. I hope to have this kind of courage throughout life.
My current beleif about the idea of preaching or witnessing ...anything really...is that I can share my own understandings and the methods of which I used and encourgage others to grow and stay true to their own understanding. I want to help people think well. I want their understanding of the world to co-exist with itself, or change in order to accomplish harmony...even if their conclusion and/or process is different then mine.
I was reading some of a book that ive had for years called, "Voltaire's Bastards", these are some quotes that I was thinking about thus far in my reading.
“Ours is a civilization astonishing in the degree to which it seems to see and know” – (6)
“Nothing frightens those in authority more then criticism.” – (6)
“Language – not money or force – provides legitimacy.” – (7)
“There is nothing particularly original about breaking down the intellectual, political, social, and emotional walls behind which language has been imprisoned, freeing it, then watching while the poor thing is recaptured and locked up again. That process has been repeated endlessly throughout history.” – (7)
“Never has there been such a sea of available information, and yet all organizations – public or private – work on the principle that information is secret unless specifically declared not to be.” – (11)
“ There is a conviction that governments have never been so strong and at the same time a sense that they are virtually powerless to effect change unless some superhuman effort is made.” – (11)
...and to finish it all off....
“…while not blind, we see without being able to perceive the difference between illusion and reality.” – (12)

This is another end to another glorious weekend!
Hmm, lets see...what did I do. Thursday night youth/the office/ o'shig. Friday night was an effin sweet LP party/ Theo's show in Van city. Saturday/Sunday was Evan's b-day bash at his grandparents place. Good times, one might even venture to say sexy times (thanks to Jesse). It was especially
cool for me because I got to hang out with some new people and spend more time with those that I already knew. It was also cool to see what Evan's other friends are like and how he interects with them, considering I usually only hang out with him, Matt, and Tugrul.
We did some Hide and Seek in the dark, which was choice. Watched some GTA4 action, and then had a sweet in-the-dark convo until the early hours of the morning. It was sweet to hear everyone say what they did. Topics discussed varied but were none-the-less extremely interesting. I especially enjoyed listening to what Theo had to say. He seems like someone who would make me a better person via conversation.
Sunday night was cool as well. Had a sponsor meeting and then met up with O'shiz. Before the sponsor meeting Pete called and we talked about planting. It was great because whenever I start talking about planting I get excited! I can't wait...but Iwill.
Now I sit at home after picking up some McDonalds in the AM on a Monday morning. I feel like shiza and wonder why I continue to spend needless money on crap that I don't need, that makes me feel like crap, and that is probably taking away bits of my life either in quality or quantity of days left. I guess it's one thing to do it occasionaly with friends late at night, but tonight was by myself and I wasn't really too hungry. This is beggining to sound quite impulsive and addictive. I should stop soon.
Listening to Colin talk about how youth parents were complaining about our "Nerds and Gangstaz" night made me frustrated as per usual. I don't understand how adults can be so seemingly narrow minded and foolish at times. What bugs me more is that it pisses the hell out of me. I'm sure that it must be because I am a young adult. Maybe that stuff won't bug me as much when I'm older, however I hope to God that I never act like that when I am a parent. Useless energy spent on ridiculously pointless and meaningless things.
For the past week it seems that at some point every day I have been talking with Matt about relationships, mainly his own. I constantly wonder where the freak I get off. Sometimes it seems like I am inverting myself. On one hand I keep growing and solidifying values, beleifs, and preferences when it comes to a girlfriend yet on the other I seem to be less convinced about some things.
While I am going on about myself, I want to mention how flipping tired I am of some of my personality traits that I've been exibiting for the past 6-7 months. I seem a bit inclined to be offensive, and defensive. I constantly talk way too much and don't say much. I vocalize what I am thinking and feeling excessively which makes me look like a tool at times, and at the very least like a blubbering idiot. Finally, I havent been as concerned about forming goals in regards to who I want to become. Well maybe I form goals, but do little practically to change myself.
I am waiting to see if I get hired at Dave's work. It would be a cool change I think and I may get a chance to learn new things and utilize some of my skills that currently lay dorment.
I need to stop concerning myself about my future. I need to start thinking only a year in advance. I need to become less aware of my timeline so I can stop freakin being so trivial about my desires.
After I got home tonight I started watching some random videos on youtube that show a bunch of different human conditions and defects from birth. I am rarely conscious about some of the messed up crap that happens so rarely in this world. I hate being completely ignorant to these experiences or atleast the knowledge about them because when I am reminded of things that I dont normaly think about, that change my perspective of the world, I get worried that I wont cant at one time consider the world, the universe fairly.
Theo brought up some good subjects for me to be aware of:
1) the relationship between intellegince and happiness
2) the relationship between genuis and detachment
3) the need to cling to the simple things in life in order to stay sane!
Anyways, this is enough for now.

Its amazing how much life plans can change in a day. Whats even more amazing is how much plans change in a single moment.
Thanks to Brian West's metaphore about a fruit tree and it's relationship to pruning, I can understand my ongoing struggle with what i want to do and what i can and have the time to do. My biggest problem..well atleast the biggest problem that I'm willing to admit, is that I want to do and experience way too many things in life. My desires overwhelm me, and I am often left to figure out what i should and shouldnt do with my time here on earth. Sometimes I convince myself that i can do all of these things, but that i just have to order my goals in the most logical and efficent way possible. This in itself stresses me out probably more then deciding what plans/goals i should keep or throw away.
I don't understand myself as an indecisive person...well I don't think so atleast. I think that I have all of these ideas and plans in my head for my future and am constatly thinking of them and when to carry them out. However, from the perspective of others, they see little pieces of what i am considering in my mind and these pieces differ depending where I am at. One day i will talk about how amazing my life would be if i did this, almost as if thats what ive decided. Then the next day I will be vocalizing an alternative plan. I'm just trying to vocalize these things to sort my thoughts for my own good, and to maybe get some wisdom from others. Maybe this is indecisiveness.
I know what I need to do to help with my tough decisions about my future. I need to start doing some of the things Im dreaming about. I already do some of that, but i think i need to be more intentional. Because, if I start persuing these desires, then they get taken off of the "dream list" and on to the actual list. This makes for less unattended desires to deal with, less choices!
Right now I am considering on working on my own personal resume. I need to start working on my own skills, culturing myself, and growing in my views, understandings, and abilities. If I were to think out loud now, right now...at hmmm...1AM on a Thursday... I am thinking that after this summer of tree planting that I should stay in Abby, apply for my Anth/Soc degree at UFV and have a full two semesters of school. On the side, work part time, and start persuing some things that i want to do to grow as a person. This is how i feel right now. I havent actually decided to do this because whether i decide to do it at this moment or not, these are still plans that cant take place until next fall. Maybe tomorrow I will lean more towards going to the Caymans and Brazil this next fall...who knows.
But, this is how I work...i keep tossing ideas around in my head until it comes to the final moment and I go with where I am at then. What kills me is when I have long periods of time in between my juggling of ideas and those defining moments.
This morning I had coffee with a recent friend of mine Josh. It was grand, and we were talking about this whole idea of being torn between desires and plans for the future. He recommended a book called "Einstein's Dreams". I will have to read this book.
Anyways, thats enough for now.
Oh Oh, and quote of the day occurred last night at Timmy's with Matt and Evan. We did a lot of talking regarding our ideas about relationships...anyways...here it is:

January 16, 2009: 5:00AM
This is my journal, this is my diary. Ive never kept one for more then a few weeks, so I will have to see where this one takes me. A rather new and delightful friend of mine blogs regularly and after reading his I was inspired to try my shot at keeping one.
My life in a nutshell...that's what I need right now. Something to place in here that will help me gain a future understanding of where I am in life right now...on my laptop...in Dave's gaming chair at 5am, after hanging with Matt and Evan.
My Nutshell:
I have changed what my plans were for my near future. For a while I was sure that I was going to go planting this next summer (09) and then after Jason and Alanna's wedding go visit Graham and Chels in the Caymans and then go with them down to Brazil and then staying there for the fall. Then I would come back and start school again, probably my Anth/Soc. degree.
But times they are changing, new opportunities, thoughts, ideas, feelings...maybe I am just indecisive when it comes to decision making. I think it's more that I am overwhelmed with the many great opportunities that lay on my threshold! So many glorious things to do with my life, so little time! It will, as it always is, be interesting to see where I land.
Now I am seriously thinking about moving to Saskatoon. It would be a grand change in my life, a chance to possibly grow in areas that have been so stagnent here in Abby. It's not an easy decision, I am so comfortable here...and my friends are all so amazing! I also would hate leaving where I live right now...this basement suit is almost perfect for me. Some of my friends are also very negative about me leaving. I guess more so disappointed, not negative. They bring up great points on my possible decision to move...but what makes the decision hard is that I realize what they say and include those points in my decision making process. I know either way I would be giving up or foregoing opportunities.
I have more immidiate fish to fry...like finding a job. I've been without one for almost a month, granted though, half of that was while I was in Alberta visiting over Christmas. I am supposed to go on a trip across Canada...an amazing trip, with an amazing friend in April...but more and more it looks like it's not going to happen. After I find a job I will have to save so much (especially if it is a crappy one) just so that I can pay to live as well as have some monies kicking around for planting.
I lost my dog for 3 days about a week ago. Found him in the Aldergrove pound and had to pay 100 bucks to get him out! Note to self...always make sure my dog has a tag with a phone number or addy.
Oh, and how can I almost forget my new car! During the super cold winter here in Abby my K car (Betty) sprung a leak. She still runs, however I think I might have cracked the block. I will eventually find out for sure, hopefully she is still gtg because I like her a lot and wished for a long life with her. But, with every end there is a beginning! I bought another K car...a K wagon (Aries) to be exact. I bought her from Dave's sister. It was a perfect fit since I know my way around a K car and this new one is the exact same colour as Betty...in fact...its pretty much the same car only the wagon version. I named this one myself... Avery K Aries. Hopefully we will have a long life together. If Betty is still keepable, I will pay it forward and give it to a friend in need for free, just like it was given to me when I needed it. (Man, Jordan Supeene...a gem I tell ya)
Well is there anything else I should mention in this summary/update/first post of this journals life?
Oh! Dave and I just started making our own wine. If it all works out in six weeks him and I will put together 30 bottles of "D & J's Bodrum Shiraz".
Other worthy mentions are my new found Vinyl and comic book collection. As well, I have never enjoyed wine and smoking pipe quite as much as I do these days.
Anyways, it is late and I need to sleep. Tomorrow I look forward to U23D in Vancouver.
Also, I dont think that I am going to do any spell checks on any of my posts...too much work.

Other worthy mentions are my new found Vinyl and comic book collection. As well, I have never enjoyed wine and smoking pipe quite as much as I do these days.
Anyways, it is late and I need to sleep. Tomorrow I look forward to U23D in Vancouver.
Also, I dont think that I am going to do any spell checks on any of my posts...too much work.
