The GOAT

To the untrained eye a GOAT is just an animal. However to other super humans, GOAT means Greatest Of All Time. And that is what I was discussing with a friend the other day. What is the Greatest Song of All Time. And we came up with an answer, however I will not share that answer until I get to my song of the day. First of all a small disclaimer it may seem like I have hit the climax to choose the greatest song today and then not end the song of the day. However the greatest song today may not be the greatest song tomorrow. Chew on that for a bit.

Also I have begun to learn this song on guitar. In other news, I have found a very old video camera that I will begin to start taping my life with. Unfortunately there is no cord to put my life on the computer, so I will not be able to share that with you yet. If you have a video camera that you are itching to get rid of because you never use it. Please share that information with me, and I will be able to take it off of your hands.

That brings us to the song of the day.

Don't Stop Believing - Journey

Much.Music.

So last night had a serious Rock Band Session. Just felt like putting that out there. Next time Josh and I will be making a music video. Much Music here I come, I am not going to be your next VJ I will be in your next top V (video).
Song of the day. Courteously of the Rock Band experience.

Dead On Arrival - Fall Out Boy

Knights of Columbus

"Knights of Columbus that hurt" - Will Ferrell

That is exactly what I was saying today when I got stung by a wasp. Just out of the blue, coaching some soccer, Shay took a shot I thought a rock came and hit my calf sure enough there was a wasp with his stinger stuck right in there.

Getting a tattoo is like getting stung by a wasp over and over again. False!

I am not sure who said that, but it hurts way more to get stung by a wasp. Leads my to my song of the day. I started with Will Ferrell and plan to end the same way.

Afternoon Delight - Will Ferrell

Not reflective of my mood I am just a Will Ferrell fan, and I find it quite humorous.

Babies are all the buzz

So the title has nothing to do with the post, but I did just read that "Babies are all the buzz on blogger." So naturally I assumed that if I put that as my title my blog would be seen by more people. We will have to see, if my hit count goes through the roof overnight.

Today was once again a very hot day, luckily I had to only ref one game today which helped. However when I left the house at like 5:30 it was still plus thirty. And when I left the game at say 7:30 it was still plus 26. Wowzers, that is seriously just bonkers. I was on aware of the possibility of those temperatures at such times.

Also in the past two days outside I have encountered the most intense farmers tan of all time. The contrast is surreal, the white thighs crash against darkness of my knees like... something really light crashing with something really dark. That brings me to the song of the day which is somewhat predictable. But it is:

Black or White - Michael Jackson

Because right now I am both. So dark to be black, and so white to be white.

Welcome Back

A song that you should all listen to that goes well and I was reminded of as I wrote the title is:
Welcome Back - Mase

Give it a listen. Maybe I will start doing song of the day, I wonder if that would entice a larger blogging audience. Yes I will do that, every time I blog I will have a song to describe my mood or the entry.

Anyways, this week is going to be crazy and I am not even done Monday yet, I have somehow found work and a lot of it. I started off today by coaching soccer from 9-3. I will doing that possibly everyday this week. In the evenings I am reffing for a soccer tournament. Which today if my math is correct will put me out in the sun for 9 hours. And it is over plus 30 and that is what it will be like for the whole week. Anyways that is my life these days, hopefully I won't be too exhausted so I can go play some bingo tonight.

Winnipeg

I did not call this post home because I am still trying to wait and make it feel that way. But I did land in Winnipeg earlier today, and well it is actually strange being back, I mean 14 months away and tons of things change. I try to make it feel like the last few times I was here, but then I was only here for two weeks, so I think I am going to skip the proverbial 'Honeymoon' phase when everything is just all fun and games and that is because I just keep thinking that it will just run out anyways. Man all this withdrawal stuff Mike talked about before sure is starting to make a lot of sense.

Not Yet

Today I printed off a plane ticket with no return flight. And while doing this I truly came to realize how much this has became home, all the goodbyes that are going to be said in the coming week, will be hard. But it is time to take these experiences back and share them with others, I am positive that this will not be the last time I will be here. I just think it is time to figure out what the next role will be.

But I am not going to say goodbye yet. I am not going to quit early, these last few days are going to be some of the best, because I wouldn't have it any other way. I don't want to finish in a dreary mopey mood just because I don't want to go. It's just time to 'do it to it'.

One Week Left

Well I need to start off by apologizing for taking way to long to post. The summer has been hectic, but it has also been a wicked awesome experience which I would not trade for anything.

Let me start with what has been happening at camp.

-Aerobics (which I believe you all should have seen)
-Talent Show (consisting of me and another volunteer singing two unsuspecting girls a love song, followed by an encore act to everyone, songs were Hero and You're Beautiful)
-One little girl telling me that a parable was a small gold box
-A Backstreet Boys Dance (I want it that way, where I also ripped off my shirt again)
-Some really amazing bible lessons, taught by 2 man plays and also an interview with Jonah

House stuff
-Sleepover (Setting up a tent in the living room and also building forts yesterday night)
-Pranks ( Bed switches, getting flour and water dumped on me, and a mystery prank)
-Camping trip in Whistler (Included giving two rednecks a 6 pack of beer in exchange for the use of their grill. Thanks Glen and Larry!)
-A late night swim in Trout Lake
-Several late night trips to Uncle Fatihs
-The Celebration of Lights Fireworks Shows

Well that has been life here. Now hopefully I will have one last post before I leave from Beautiful British Columbia. If not I must try to come to a decision, since my main purpose of setting up this blog was to keep people in Winnipeg updated on what is going on I will soon be back in Winnipeg, and if they want to know what is going on you can all talk to me.

But if I have made any friends here there is potential that they might want to continue hearing what I am doing back home, so if you are a reader that would like to continue hearing about my life once I am back in the peg city, please leave a comment of some sort, or else this blog may come to an abrupt halt, or just be seldom used.
