More stuff than you can handle

Well I finally got certified at work so now i'm on my own. And I sure got thrown right into it! All kinda of crazy stuff breaking down, and me forgetting stuff... it was quite delightful, in an insanely stressed kinda way. Oh well, at least I have a job in the first place. Only two more shifts until the plant shutdown and then its 2 and a half weeks off! I am going to enjoy that greatly and spend ridculous amounts of time with Leanne as well!

Nights of Fire coming up this weekend! It should be awesome, especially seeing as this is the summer kick-off with rockin music and free food. Hurrah! You should all come.

Good stuff cancels out bad stuff

Had an awesome weekend. Pool party at youth then I got to go to Leanne's family gathering thing which is kinda like a mini youth event in itself since so many people attend my church from that family. And again returned to the same pool I was at the day before. I took lots of videos of the weekend and hope to get a few up here soon.

Then I had some stuff that wasn't so good. Like how I found out I got 0 on this assignement in school and got an "Academic Offenses Form" in the mail. But through some negotiating and such I managed to get the form removed from my record but still got the 0. Oh well, better than nothing. I hope I still passed the course!

I had to go home from work last night at 1:30 am cause they ran out of material. It was really weird. My boss just came by and was like "Put everything on hold, we're going home." So i'm a little ticked cause I don't get paid for the rest of the shift I was supposed to work. Oh well, thats life.

Too much power in the courts

Ok I changed my mind... I am going to say this today after all.

I think the main thing that I am concerned about in the gay marriage issue is the lack of protection for ministers who do not wish to perform same sex weddings. Now i'm sure your first reaction will be "Oh that's ridiculous! The bill addresses that issue completely!" Well here's the reason I am worried:

I believe the higher courts of Canada have way too much power. Some may remember that a few short years ago it was actually ILLEGAL for homosexual people to get married because of legislation actually put through by the Liberal party (interesting how they changed their minds so fast). But that was easily overturned by a judge who spat in the face of democracy and threw out the law. This PROVES that ultimately judges have full power over this country and nothing parlement can do can stop them. Therefore if a judge rules it is a hate crime for a minister to refuse to marry a same sex couple there's nothing that can stop them! Then we can kiss religious freedom goodbye! Hurrah! :P

So much to complain about...

...so little time.

Oh man I missed a day of blogging. This will never do! I apologize.

I'm actually kinda tired from working so much so I'm just going to put off my comments till tomorrow since I have the whole day off! woohoo!

Edit: What the... 13 comments so far on what has become the "gay marriage post". This is nuts!

So I changed my mind

Yeah I decided I'm not going to get scared off by some wacko that has an opinion different than mine. This is MY BLOG and I will say whatever the heck I want on here :) This political stuff sure gets lots of comments though. Now I know how a certain liberal talk show host on 570 News *spits on ground a la Corner Gas* must feel.

Once again, thank you all for your comments.

So my guitar effects board appears to be broken. It won't work at all unless you put a memory card in. I really hope that holds for now because we're going into the recording studio on Sunday. Nothing must stop me from recording this time! All my faithful readers on here will be able to hear our songs once they are done.

Wow people actually read this?

I'm actually getting comments on here. I'm suprised. Someone even actually cared enough about my last post to write a massive rant about how wrong I am (although it didn't make much sense). Thank you very much anonymous commenter :)

edit: I don't want this to turn into a political debate blog so that will be the last political comment I make on here :P

So tonight we'll be working on our third year project for school. I hope we get lots accomplished because we have insane amounts of things to do. I'll be happy as long as I don't have to move much... lousy 36 hours of work in 3 days.

What is happening to Canada?

I'm really starting to get worried about living in this country. I mean with all the government scandals that have been happening here in the last little while I am truly worried about the future of democracy here. When you hear stories about Liberal MPs bribing Conservative MPs to pull them over to their side, and them actually accepting the offer, it really makes my skin crawl. Then you hear interviews with people like Karen Redman that have admitted them will put forward their personal views ahead of majority of the people they represent for what they believe is the "greater good". That's NOT what their job is, and that is not democracy.... more like... democrazy! Ok, that was lame :P But you just wait, next election no one will care at all about this and they will happily elect a Liberal government because they're too scared of change! Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy? BAH!

Well today is the big Queenston youth trip and I am stuck here at home because I have to work tonight. BAH again! Oh well, at least I got to see everyone off... and yes I did come to see EVERYONE off (:P James lol) although I was especially happy to see one certain individual. At least its nice weather so they're hopefully having a good time. I would have probably gone if we would have been back before 7. I hope this job doesn't ruin too much of my summer. I don't mind the job, its just the freaky hours and missing out on stuff that I don't like. Oh well, there's lots of summer left.

Another day... I mean night done

Just finished another night shift at work. Not too bad, however I just took a gravol and am now very very tired. I just got an awesome e-mail from Leanne though so that cheered me up!

I really should tell some people about this blog so I'm not writting to no one. I will really try and have some content on here so its not just me ranting about stuff no one cares about!

On that note, here's a smattering of video clips from the recent church picnic.

High Quality
Low (barely watchable) Quality

First entry

Well hello. As the subject states, this is my first attempt at blogging. It seems like an interesting fad that I simply MUST be a part of, and since I really can't remember how to program HTML well, I figured I might as well put it on here!

Ok time to get ready for work.
