My first post, a recap of the past while

Hey everyone, and thanks to whoever has taken the time to come and read my blog. I really appreciate it, and I hope that its not TOOOO boring to read. If you enjoy it, pass the link on to other people who know me.

So, I guess theres been quite a bit going on in the past while and I may as well catch up with everyone who isnt "in the know" on some or all of the details.

So, how far back should I go??

Alrighty, well Ill go back to July. Well, june to be precise ( but who cares about precision?) lol.

So, at the end of June, I helped my wonderful girlfriend Jess move into her new house, up in Ottawa. Was a bit scary, but was part of life and Im glad I was able to help out. Jess's mom invited me to stay up there, and I ended up being there in total, about 3.5 weeks, which was really awesome. I appreciate them having me so much, I had a freaking awesome time. Thanks again!

So, I came back, hung with some friends, caught up on the soap opera that is the teenage life, and somehow re-integrated myself into the lifestyle that I left behind here. Sucked really bad at first, but it got easier as time went on.

So I realized that I needed a job, so I went out and applied all over the place. Days go by, a week, nothing. One of my old friends, from back in grade four, ends up working at Ardenes, over at the Highland hills mall, I stop and talk to her for a bit, and it turns out her mom is a manager at the superstore. I go talk to her, and she says "bring in a resume and ill get you a job"

So, I go home, and what happens? I get a call from Sherwood systems, I got a job there. Freakin awesome, probably the best job yet.

So, worked there a bit, then I helped move Jess into University on August 25th., In Toronto. That was tough aswell, but it is a new chapter in both our lives and something that I was happy for her about. So, she gets all moved in, we had a beautiful , fantastic weekend. After she got all moved in that Saturday, I went back to my Grandmas ( who lives like 25 mins away from Jess) and stayed the night there.

*The enxt portion is from an Email I sent to Lisa, Jess's mom. Its long and I didnt feel like re-typing it, haha*

I went to a Busker Carnival with my Grandma Saturday night, and we saw this thing in a store, but I left my wallet at home so I couldn't buy it. So, I was out of the house by 7:30 Sunday morning ( Grandma had me up at 5 because thats when she got up) and went to the store to make sure I could get it for Jess, as it was apparently the last one in stock. Just my luck, place doesn't open until 10. Nonetheless, I waited and eventually bought her it. It is an Angel, and its beautiful, and I think she really liked it. It looks beautiful in her room. I saw an Angel, and I thought of her.

So, cruised around the big city for a whole whack of time, thinking I'd see her at noon. I rode the subway in its entirety, killed maybe 45 mins, if that. Probably less. Was waiting at Eaton center ( they have AC :)) And at noon, she says that she cant do anything till 4. A little disappointed, but at least I'd see her. Well, she ended up being done at 2, so that was a relief.

So, we got dinner, with my Grandma, at some Thai restaurant. It was delicious. Right after, she was too tired to really do anything so I walked her home and that was that. Thats alright though, because I planned on going up the next weekend anyway, so we could do more then.

So, funny few events happened during my little experience in Toronto.

Saturday,when I got to Toronto, tried to walk to my Grandmas house, following my "map". Well, this map sucked ass and didn't have anything labeled. So, I followed my instincts ( which may or may not have been a good idea) but I ended up getting there somehow , lol. Good thing Toronto's streets are like a grid.

Sunday Morning, left the house by 7:30, and before 8:00, not only did a guy try to buy marijuana off me, but a prostitute came up and said "hey big guy, whatcha up to"

Yeah, great start to the day. Needless to say I walked away from that.

On the subway, someone wrote ( flash me) on the back of my shirt, I didn't notice because it was so crowded, I figured people were just banging into me. So, after walking around for hours I ended up being told by an employee of "foot locker" that it was written there, and immediately bought a new shirt to avoid making more of an ass of myself.

So, when Jess told me she couldnt meet me at 12, I decided maybe seeing a show would be a good idea, theres a few decent movies that I wouldn't mind seeing.

Go to the first place that says "cinema"

Reading the movies playing there, sounded very dirty but I figured it was just a play on words. I look at the posters, its XXX. GREEEEAT.

So, no movies.

Walked around for a bit more, those black guys trying to raise money for black on black crime prevention stop me, I say no, and they say " Sir, are you a racist"?

So, I bought theyre damn newspaper.

Another lady somewhere else, from the "sick kids foundation" stops me, asks for donations, and following "no", she then proceeds to ask me if i even care about the well being of children at all. Yes, but chick still didn't get any money from me. She wanted credit card numbers. Yeah, right.

Then, there is this black guy, dressed all in black, wearing a cape and has a cardboard mask to cover his eyes. He jumps up on one of those silver garbage things on the side of the road, starts beating on it with a stick and whenever somebody walked by, we would say " the end is near" and hold the mask up to his eyes.

we-e-e-e-e-e-rd stuff.

There is probally lots more weird stuff, lol, I just forgot it by now.

*end of "email" portion*

So, the next weekend I went up, we shared a beautiful weekend together. Saturday, we went up the CN tower, to the VERY top, which was beautiful, and Sunday we went on a beautiful cruise on a Pirate ship. All in all, it was a truly fantastic weekend. That night, after dropping the princess off at her manor, I managed to go and get her anniversary present. Stay tuned to find out what it is, I cant really reveal it yet, being as she probably reads this.

Speaking of.....





So yeah....

Well, Im definitely tired of typing now, so if I think of anymore stuff, ill make a new post.

I worked a LONG day yesterday, at a Kardinal Offiishall concert downtown Kitchener. Worth it though, because I love Kardinal and I actually got to meet him and do sound for his performance, which was really neat. Now, I cant confirm this, but im fairly certain that I got to stand beside him at the urinal in city hall. Im almost positive it was him. creeepy, but cool.

Well, take care every one!

Much Love,

Kyle Hicks
