So here's some exciting news, yesterday it was decided that next spring I will possibly be moving to Calgary. I'll be moving there for a few years until my course for Recreation Therapy starts at SIAST in 2009, then I'll be moving back. I just want to go there for a year and a half or so, just to establish if that is where I want to end up. I'm pretty pumped though! My brother and his soon to be wife are living there, so I might even already have a place to stay until I find a place for myself.

On top of that, 2.5 MONTHS OF SCHOOL LEFT! WOOOO!

G-UNIT!!!!

Mon, 01 May 2006 18:31:03 GMT

Soooooo its been a while since I've made an update, but thats just becuse there's not much new and I find it a waste of time to update and bore you guys with EVERYTHING I do in one day.

So yeah, Twyla came down and we had a lot of fun. Like Ricky said, we went to Overdrive. It was really good. I got drunk. Like really drunk. I like drinking (like more than a friend). LOL anyways, yeah I've been feeling a lot better. I've been due for a checkup but screw it. I spent an entire month in and out of the hospital in February. So no more DOCTORS DAMMIT!!!

Ok, so incase no body cares to look at my msn name, I quit Co-op 2 weeks ago and I'm glad I did it. My boss was such a useless flacid penis. So I've been moneyless and stuff. My loan is polished off as of today for rent for the next 2 months, so hopefully I get a job soon. I have a second interview with Telus mobility today to work at the kiosk in Midtown mall, but in a way I dont really want it. Unfortunately, they're the only people that have called me back so far. They also want me to purchase a Telus cell phone (this means I would have 2 phones) So I'm probably going to use my one I have now as a lan line (but not actually) just because everyone has that number and its been my main number for quite a while.

On top of that, Ricky will probably be working at Rogers in the mall too, so we could take breaks or something like that together, so thats cool. If we get the job, YOU people will have someone to fix your phones for you when they fuck up lol. Well I guess Blo and her friends have Brad, but yeah... anyone else, its a go. lol

Yeah, sorry Auri about the Overdrive night, we could have worked something out, like going to a different bar that didnt cost money to get in or something if you would have stayed a few more mins. I know I was being kind of an ass hat about it, but we already had people invited to go and we've all been waiting for a weekend when all of us were free to go to the bar. We also could have made plans for an early breakfast too or something. But yes, again, I'm sorry.

Anyhow, everyone wish me luck on my interview :)

New haircut

My New Hair (which I really like)

Wed, 12 Apr 2006 20:55:58 GMT

RYAN'S NEW AND HOT CAMERA!

Powerful zoom camera improves on successful Fujifilm formula with Anti-Blur Mode and lightning fast response times

Fujifilm today announces the launch of the FinePix S5200 Zoom, the third generation of its powerful, mini SLR-style digital cameras with long zoom lens. Packed with features, including 10x optical zoom and Anti-Blur Mode, the FinePix S5200 Zoom is an impressive reworking of its popular predecessors.

Beneath its robust body lie the sensor enhancements that make the FinePix S5200 Zoom punch above its weight. Boasting a new 5th Generation five megapixel Super CCD HR sensor and Fujifilm’s new Real Photo Technology, the FinePix S5200 Zoom has the power to capture large images with incredible clarity and detail in a range of lighting conditions.

Complete with an unrivalled sensitivity range from ISO 64 to ISO 1600, the camera makes it possible to achieve crisp photographs with minimal noise, even in very low light conditions. The Anti-Blur Mode, which exploits the camera’s exceptional ISO capabilities, reduces blurring caused by movement of the user, as well as movement blur caused by the subject, making it much more effective than image stabilisation technology alone.

The camera’s impressive 10x optical zoom has a fixed lens housing and covers all settings from wide to telephoto. It’s ideal for amateurs and photography enthusiasts alike who want optical power but don’t want to compromise with a heavyweight or bulky camera body. The fixed lens housing also ensures a lightning-fast start-up time and removes the risk of getting dust particles inside the lens or camera body.

The FinePix S5200 Zoom features a high-speed start up time of just 1.1 seconds and shutter lag has been minimised to 0.01 seconds. This, combined with a new automatic pop-up flash, means that you’ll never miss out on the action.

Moreover, the camera offers 30fps movie capability with monaural sound, making it the perfect choice for those wanting to create high quality home movies without the need to carry a camcorder.

FinePix S5200 Zoom features at a glance:

* 5th Generation Super CCD HR sensor
* 5.1 million effective pixels
* 10x optical zoom
* Real Photo Technology and ISO 64 – 1600 sensitivity range
* Anti-Blur Mode to minimise blurring from photographer and subject
* Highlight Warning function to alert users to overexposed areas of an image (in playback)
* High quality video recording at VGA and 30fps
* Rapid start-up time of 1.1 seconds and shutter lag of 0.01 seconds
* Automatic pop-up flash
* JPEG and RAW file format
* Versatile manual functions including manual focus and exposure

AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, WELL, ITS NOT YOURS ANYWAY!

I HAVE THE BEST FUCKIN IDEAS IF YOU GUYS COME! fuck yeah!

once i know for sure, the planning starts... this is gonna be so awesome :D

PS: school sucks hairy elephant bawls!

Update

Fri, 10 Feb 2006 06:50:44 GMT

Well its been a week or 2 since I last updated, but I said I'd try to do it more often. I'm never on my computer anymore, which makes me sad. I'm just a little busy to be wasting what other little time I get to myself on here.

I had the surgery, it went ok. I was admitted at 12:30 Wednesday afternoon and was sent to "Outpatients" in city hospital, which is where they prep you for surgery. I sat there for 3 hours waiting for my doctor to give the nurses the go ahead to knock me out, it kinda sucked. but yeah, about half an hour into waiting, the nurse attemped to insert the needle into my arm, it too her 2 tries on one hand and 2 more on the other. I have a few bruises from it, but w/e. Um so yeah for the remaning 2 and half hour wait I sat there with an IV USELESSLY implanted in my arm. But the tie finally came and I was wheeled into a room with a plasma television screen and utensils layed out everwhere. They then started the IV drip and I remember NOTHING after that. It was awesome. LOL um, yeah, the doctor aparently came by shortly after I had woken up and informed me and my mom that they had removed what they had believed to be a Polyp, but thats what they're calling it because they really have no clue what it was. Aparently a Polyp usually grows to be about the size of the end of a pen, but mine was the size of an adult human thumb AND it was growing on what looked like to be a stem. He was baffled, so they're going to run extra tests to make sure its not anything bad and he, inclusing me and my family are crossing our fingers that its not cancer. I alreay feel a lot better, minus the cramping from the after effects of the surgery. My FUCKING GAY ASS BOSS wont give me saturday and sunday off, so I'm stuck working, so I figure that if I still fel shitty, I'm just gonna walk out. I need the money so bad. It really is funny what we will do and how far we will go for money. I can't really remember the rest of the day of the operation, except for my mom taking me and Ricky to Moxies and laying on the couch. I wasn't supposed to eat very much, but you know me... fuck that, telling me not to eat is like telling Oprah not to be black.

2 weeks and I'll know the tests results from the thing that lives within.

ps - here's a picture:

bah...

Tue, 31 Jan 2006 18:45:28 GMT

life is so crazy fucking busy...

So the tests at the hospital revealed tha I DON'T have ulcerative colitis, but rather TUMORS lining my intestines.... Yeah... they don't know if its cancer yet. I go for surgery on the 8'th and they're going to remove the tumors, then send them away for testing. If it is cancer, I start radiation in March. Great start to the year, wouldn't you say? Yeah, so other than that I've been catching up on shit I've been missing at school from being sick. We're finishing off the semester, so final exams and assignments are all due this week and next, but I have surgery next week, so its all being crammed into this week. God this is crazy! I don't know if its the stress thats making me even sicker, or the fack that I have golf ball sized tumors in my stomach. I'm not terribly worried about it, but there's just so much to be done. OH and I have to miss out on a 2 week practicum because I can't afford to work and not be paid fr it. Anyways, I know I don;t update much and I know I haven't alked on MSN since WAY before x-mas, but I'm gonna try to tak to you guys more after this is all dealt with.

My home phone is disconnected today, so call my cell from now on 280 - 2841

I applied for a new job at a care home where starting wage is $10.40 an hour. Hours are 4 - 8:30 weekdays and shiftwork on weekends. So thats awesome. I'll actually have evenings off, sort of, when I do work.

I have from the 10'th to the 27'th off of school. First week is surgery and stuff and then from there its all good ( I hope), so people should definately come and visit me, because I miss you guys! and I can't afford to leave the city... even to go back to hazy...

Other than that, I think thats it. I'll try to update more often.

Later

ps: keep updating so I know wats happening in the world. AND I miss IRC :(

Long Overdue

Thu, 19 Jan 2006 19:26:40 GMT

I think this post is long and overdue. I havent updated in a while LOL so I think I'll just give you basics as usual. Ummm... Lets see. I got that job at Co-op gas bar as a GD (cashier guy) it's been ging wll, the only thing is that I only work weekends and I work 3:30 - 11:30, so I don't have weekends anymore.

Christmas break was pretty good. I Went back to 'Hazy and got to see a lot of people I hven't seen since grad and a few people I haven't seen since before I moved here. Ummm.... My Bday kicked ass, we went to a few places and I got hammered of course. Gift wise for my Bday and X-mas, I got a PS2, Nip/Tuck Seasons 1 & 2, Dead Like Me Season 1, an air cleaner cause my landlord smoes like a chimney, a chocolate fondu set, clothing, money, family pics of my Sis's fam. And I know there was more, but I forget at the moment.

My brother got engaged and the wedding date is set for July 7'th. My sister is peggo and is due between June 1 and the first week of August. And yes, thats good news.

On January 4'th the doctor told me that because of my Lupus, he's 90% sure I have Ulcerative Colitis. I go into the hospital on the 25'th and get out on the 27'th. They're gonna do some tests and stuff to make sure. Then they're gonna try to treat it with medication, but all cases of Colitis eventually lead to surgery sooner or later. Which means they might have to remove my colon and my large intestines. But yeah, I'm not gonna worry about that Until the time comes.

Monday I have another job interview with Vectr marketing, where I would be managing accounts and conducting sales between fanchises and large companies. Its not a telemarketing job and the starting wage PART TIME is 14.85 and hour, so I'm pretty excited. Its a different kind of experience for my resume, which will be a great additive on top of my soon to be diploma from Graphics Design/New Media Productions.

ANYWAYS class is over so I gtg.

Later all.

Happy Bday me!

This weekend..

Mon, 14 Nov 2005 01:52:13 GMT

My mom and Dave and my little brother came down for thursday and friday and left early saturday morning, which gave me the day to myself... I'm glad I got to see them. We didn;t really do a whole lot, but it was still nice, seeing as I haven't been home since the 2'nd week after I moved here. Them leaving early gave me time to have some time to myself, but I decided to make a day of a free day..

I bought a baby turtle! Its a lttle bigger than a toonie, LOL. Its tineh and I love it. It was my last spluge of my money before I start this new job at the co-op gas station sometime this coming week. So to money train will be flowing again soon.

I dont really have much more to say, so I'll see you all later.

-Ryan

W00t w00t

Thu, 10 Nov 2005 02:03:40 GMT

So I got a Job at a Co-op gas bar down Cricle Drive and Ave C. Its supposed to be the busiest one, so thats really awesome. I'll be working till and keeping up stock. I'm kinda excited, they're phoning sometikme this weekend.

My parents and little brother are coming down for 2 days tomorrow and leaving Saturday morning to go to Regina. Saturday I have plans :p and Sunday is dedicated to homework I think. I might get some free time I hope to do other things. AND OMFG I'M GETTING A TURTLE :O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A FUCKING TURTLE! YES! Right now its twice the size of a loonie! Fucking awesome.

Anyways, I'm gonna go...

See ya..

-Ryan

Thu, 03 Nov 2005 22:16:10 GMT

Yesssssss....our phone is officially cut off! :D THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!

Wed, 02 Nov 2005 19:29:23 GMT

I have a casual job at Co-op and I've decided that even if I DO get the part time job, I'm not gonna work there... I can't stand to work in a grocery story again... It's slowly making me feel like I'm back in Esterhazy and it's making me extremely depressed... nonetheless, I need a within the next month or I'm heading back to Esterhazy because I can't afford to live off my loan. It's depressing not having the ONE year off from work that I so desperately desired. I don;t mind school, but it is starting to get a little harder. I need the money people owe me this weekend in order to pay bills, not just Kalree, Cesar ad my mom as well. I have to pay off a gas dept I owe to my brother and I have to pay 2 months worth of phone bills, PLUS my cell phobe bill. Rent was die yesterday and I barely made it. I can;t afford to eat this month.. honestly, I have like 8 cns of soup and some pasta to last me the month. Any job but Co-op badly needed... I'm gonna keep the Co-op job for this week and hopefully I can get a permanent job after that... Anyways, yeah...

On top of those other expenses, I have more meds that I'm going to have to start taking tomorrow or whenever my tests come back from the doctor. My prednisone and valium prescriptions are finished, but my prednisone has to be renewed n a permanent prescription until directed otherwise. I just wish I wasn't so fucking sick all the time, most of the time its the side effects of the meds... Maybe I'll stop being tired now that I'm done my Valium? I sure hope so... Another ls thing on my health, is on top of having Lupus, I may have a digestive track disease or something... The doctor thinks it may be linked to Lupus but there's a chance it might not be. I dunno... I really don;t care anymore.... Just letting you guys know whats all going on there as well...

On a brighter note...

Knourek is thinking about going to Russell this weekend, so I'll have the place to myself maybe :) and then he's leaving again the next weekend with Cydy (our landlod and yes, thats how it's spelled). My parents and Steve may be coming dow that weekend though, so thats pretty cool... I hope they bring Angus.. I miss my puppy.... Ummm... for some reason my spirits just went up a little, so thats good :)

I've lost all train of thought so I'm just gonna stop lol, sorry for complaining, but I just needed to vent...

Sun, 30 Oct 2005 09:50:11 GMT

so i went to a part and got pretty wasted and again loikl!!!!!!! i dressed up as millhouse afrom the simpsons and cesar went as doctor nick andhis brother was duffman LOL it was awesome i wahad so micy dfun, i got this chick's e-mail addy... she was fdealy, her name was ella! wow did i have fin, anyways i'm so tire, i;ll ttytm

Marks!

Fri, 21 Oct 2005 18:45:46 GMT

So we got out averages and marks back. I wrote a final yesterday and got 90% on it. I was really worried about that one too... Um So yeah, my overall average is 87% which is pretty fuckin rad! I'm starting to love shool more and more cause we're actually starting to do things I like to do, such as photoshop and animation. I'm asking to get some of the final assignments early cause I already know what's going on in retouching and stuff. I think things might pick up from here on.

Yesterday I made a trip to Wally World with Karlee. My face and my eyes are uber fucking dry and they're starting to flake, crack and bleed, and it constantly stings :S Damn dry air. Anyways, yeah, I bought this body butter suff, and its working awesome. No flaking today except for my eyelids. I rippied my nose ring :S its all infected now and disgusting. I think it got infected because my face is so oily, so I got rubbing alcohol to dry it out and it seems to be working well (I know thats a bad thing to do... putting that on a piercing, but I really don't care.)

This morining I got a call from Co-op, I start training next week and then I work the big Halloween warehouse sale at the end of the month. I'm pretty pumped to be working again, especially since I don't get much homework.

Tonight sounds like boys night out. Me, Ricky and my friend Kurtis are gonna go to the Rainbow and watch movies tonight. It will be nice to hang out with Ricky, we really haven't done much of that since he moved here, especially doing stuff by ourselves like we used to. I kinda miss that, but I guess life happened. But yeah, I'm excited for tonight. This weekend, Knourek is gone, so I have the place to myself... no annoying roomates :D!

Umm... I think that's it. Talk to y'all later :D

-Ryan

Heya

Tue, 18 Oct 2005 18:25:07 GMT

So I don't really know what's new... Um, I think I'm gonna go to te downtown area today and hand out resumes, simply because Co-op's the only place that called me back. I don't really feel too great today, I think I'm getting the stomach flu or something. Erm...what else?... I'm broker than a bum with a penny jar full of ovums... OH I have a final on Thursday. I think it's gonna be hard, so I might actually have o STUDY for it. LOL! And yeah....

More from me when life gets interesting....

-Ryan

Yesss

Fri, 14 Oct 2005 18:56:32 GMT

So ysterday we finally started photoshop in graphics :D And in Comminications, we started animation :D its so fun! w00t! Yes I got 87% on a communications test I never studied for :D and yes... Ricky's Bday should be fun :D We're finishing the final touches today and then we're heading over to his aunt and uncle's for a BBQ :) Yes, so I'm in good spirits :D aaannnd yes, can't wait till tonight...OH! TODAY I TOLD OFF THIS PRICK IN OUR CLASS AND HE ALMOST CRIED LOL! He was making Nona feel bad for worry about money so I said "Everyone has their own ways of dealing with stress, so how can you sit there, thinking YOUR way is perfect, scrutenizing everything everyone else says, when you're actually STRESSING over what everyone else says, and be satisfied with your own way of "not stressing". Stop being such a fuking asshole and worry about your own business and just be a fucking human and agree once and a while with other people's motives besides yours." God fucking dammit that kid pisses me off. He was shocked I actually said something mean for once LOL. Anyways, yes, that was another highlight of my day LOL.

*dynamic post for Ricky's bday later*
