Ever have one of those days when you think it can't get any worse

I called up a friend to get a ride to church but it looks like he's a no show church started 12 minutes ago. Oh well. I took the time to read a friend's blog and it looks like she's having a worse time then me so it puts my life into prospective.

Two days ago I took my car out for a test drive only to have my front right wheel burst into smoke after 2 kms then when I jacked up the car to take a look at the brakes I accidentally snapped the brake line with out knowing it I got the car working again and drove back to my friends place. Luckily the break fluid didn't all leak out b4 I realized what had happened. I parked the car then yesterday I went to move my car forward 5 feet and that's when I made the discovery what the stuff dripping out from under the passenger door was; brake fluid I had no brakes left. I looked into the cost of the parts to fix the car but they came up to over $500 so I will be donating my beloved camry to charity and bussing back to timmins.

Home is where the heart is but where is my heart?

Got to love blogs when you start to type and stop to do a spell check and lose your entire blog. Oh well back to the beginning...

Have you ever gone home to visit and feel like your a stranger in a strange land. That's how I feel right now it's a weird place to be. I mean I get home to the place where I lived for most my life and it's not home. Will see if church tomorrow will help at all.

I'm at an interesting place in my life right now; I want to go live with my father in Quebec but my family in Winnipeg don't think I'm doing the right thing because 25 years ago he abandoned us sat me down on a bench in a park and told me that things weren't working out with my mom and that it wasn't us why he was leaving. Then there is the dad that took his place. He was a great dad , but he basically disowned me 14 years ago so I guess even though he raised me he isn't my dad any more or is he? I have no idea. Dad #1 the guy that abandoned me thinks I'm a success while dad #2 in the peg is ashamed of me and my lifestyle. Which one would you choose? I don't hold it against my dad in Quebec that he abandoned us. Him and I have a lot in common like how we go out of our ways to help people and on the flip side how if you screw with us you will be screwed up.

Oh man I am one messed up guy ain't I? I just got a sinking feeling that this may be the last time I can get to know dad #1 and since dad #2 doesn't give a damn about me wtf right. So I will be eastward bound in June to the belle province of Quebec. I hope to get involved with my sisters' lives and get to know them better as well as pick up a second language which will help no matter where I go in this big country of ours.

well that's enough of a rant for me today TTYL

what am I doing?

Off on another adventure seems my life lately is one long bus trip going from Ontario to Quebec then back to Ontario then on to Manitoba. In one year I went from a man who did no travelling at all to a guy that goes once or twice a month to a different place. It plays havick on my work life though but what the heck I only work for a third of my life right?

I'm off to manitoba to visit friends and family there and tie up loose ends. Hoping to get my car back. Prob not going to happen but we will see

It will be good to see my mom and sisters again as well as my aunts and uncles and friends.

After all that will be back in timmins for 2 weeks b4 moving to quebec I think not too sure but that's the way I'm leaning.

oh well back to packing leaving in 1/2 hour ttyl
