Aerobics

So I have found my calling to be an exercise/aerobics instructor. Check this video if you don't believe me. Watch It.


Only got the link, but please watch and spread to everyone you know. I really think it might be a new career path that I hadn't considered.

People who do great things without telling anyone or saying anything about it are truly great people. And now it happens and I have no one to thank. So now I must send out a massive thank you to whoever paid for me to go play laser tag yesterday night, allowing me to have the funnest of times. Thank you to that person.

Week 2

So I just realized it has been a week since I last posted. I am sorry to the many devout readers of my blog, because I for one have failed to keep you posted on my very upbeat life.

The days start at 5:00 AM and go until roughly midnight. Sometimes earlier, and every day is an adventure in itself, lots of stuff always going on. My bible class that I teach is superb, and although I tend to use unusual antics while teaching the point gets across to the kids, as they have remembered every memory verse so far, and have been starting to ask lots of questions. As I have been telling the stories of creation and how God ruined the world three times since then, they are starting to think God is some sort of crazy maniac, they are in for a surprise when Jesus comes around.

As for weekends, the UP house is good times, good people around willing to do fun stuff and trying to do new things. Went to Granville Island the other day, which was alright, although after the first few times it kind of gets a bit old, although the buskers are fun. Then went to the beach, played some volleyball, it was good to touch a ball again, but I would really love to play some real intense volleyball again. Then played cards, and I owned it, I believe that I am now the undisputed champ after five straight victories! AYO!

Sunday went to church for pancake breakfast then headed over to IKEA for some fun and games, which included a cheap lunch and a game of sardines. Then went around taking pictures, and I think we should send them to IKEA so they can use them in catalogs.

The evening ended with another game of sardines, but that wasn't until the UP House boyband played a free show once again, to a rather uninterested audience, I just don't think the girls here fully appreciate our presence, not sure what it is we are cute enough and got sweet skills.

Figured out

So some thoughts as to what I said in my previous post. I think that I have some insights as to why the transition home will be tough. I think it is unfair to say that anybody has not changed. I think the problem is that we have all been changing but everyone there has been living with everyone through the whole time. Where as when I get back it will just come all at once and they have not been with me through it.

Anyways other then that, today I had pretty much the best day ever. Started off with some church in the morning, then after that we decided to go out for lunch at Red Robin, little did we know the events that were to occur after we made that decision. We ate at RR noticing that Toys R' Us was right across the street, obviously we had to go. We went and played hockey, played baseball, which was so funny with this little kid watching us saying to her son: "Normally you are allowed to play baseball inside, but they are being very careful so it's ok." We were wearing helmets when we were at bat....very safe. Then there were a few impulse buys, and off we went back home. Got home and went to play soccer. It was great! I truly miss playing sports everyday more then ever, but now I decided I will play every Sunday. So it's all good. After soccer it was off to dinner at a board members house, then went to see Hancock. And just when you thought there was no time left to do anything, we climbed up on the rough and did the Soulja Boy Dance. After all that I have just enough time to blog about it for all you to hear.

Home?

"Home is where the heart is"

Not sure who that quote is by. But right now I am still uncertain of where that home is. After spending the past year in Vancouver, making lots of new friends and then just heading back to Winnipeg (not home) to potentially never talk to a lot of these people again.

Now there are two different ways to talk about what I am doing:
A) I am going back home.
B) I am leaving home.

Thoughts on option A.
As I am going back home to friends and family, but are they really the same as when I left, probably not. But that is not the part I am worried about. I think it is great that people change and figure themselves out. I am worried that everyone has stayed the same and that I have changed (at least I would like to think so, would it not have been a big waste of my time had I not changed and grown as a person at all). I am afraid that as I go home I will have changed and everyone else will still be the same. That is my bigger fear.

Thoughts on option B.

I have been living in Vancouver for the past year now. I have made friends here, and tried new things, attempting to figure things out living away from "home" for a while. Because I never planned to stay here for longer then a year, does that mean that all these friendships were a waste of time, since everyone claims to have started checking out before we got here anyways. Or maybe if I was staying they would actually be friends that haven't checked out already anyways.

If it does turn out that no one has changed and that with friends here it may not be worth trying to keep in touch because I was just a temporary person to hang out with for the time being, I find myself in a place where I don't really have somewhere to belong. Is it really healthy for me to constantly move around not knowing where home is, or with working for kids is it good for them to have people constantly coming in and out of their lives?

This is a small portion of my thoughts it would be good to hear yours.
