| MARCH and APRIL 2004 ... 04/20/04 -1103pm Three blogs in one day. thats a record. this one will be a short one. frakkin crap day at work today. All i can do is not dwell, pick up my feet and keep moving. sucks to be in my position right now, but thats life right? learn from you mistakes. not much i can do. ahh the wonderful world of 'stress'. Stay strong and confident and never give up. i hate quiters and i'm not going to be my own worst enemy. On a lighter note, bought a cd today titled 'Little Things' by Toby Lightman. i'm really liking the sounds of it. mix of acoustic, jazz, and soul. comments: work_tlightman 04.22.04 - 11:43pm - Tracy -oh, the joys of work. You'd think someone would work out a system where we could stay home and play online all day and get paid for it, wouldn't you? Sorry it sucks. But if it's any consolation...my workplace bites it bigtime too. We can be miserable together. 04.27.04 - 1:50am - Tracy -Hey! Where are your updates? I've updated my boring LJ twice since you last have.

But i guess i can say i have plenty of news to report. read on if you're interested. The Bad. You should've seen me yell my head off "YES" when canucks scored in the 3rd period with 5 seconds left. wow that was exciting. the disappointment came early in sudden death w/ the flames scoring. *sigh* The Good. May is a big month. Rick got an internship job at CBC starting the beginning of the month, same with V who got a job at a pvt school. plus him and T will be moving early May into their newly renovated house. Exiting stuff. And some news on me, it should be soon. Thanks for all of you who believe in me and your continued support. A big Thank You to KS for the letter. I continue to stay positive and confident. comments: good/bad 04.22.04 - 11:36pm - Tracy -lazy. well, you did ask for it. 04/04/04 - 0931pm No april fools joke for me this year. Or atleast i should say i'm glad i didn't fall for any. Yesterday was Jamie Bambers Birthday, so a BIG Happy Birthday to you cute stuff =) As usual, i'm listening to Z95.3fm, and they have this amazing contest going on right now called the 'Good Karma Contest'. Basically if you're the 9th caller, you win $1000, five hundred for you to keep, five hundred to give away to your favorite charity. I think this has got to be one of the best contests i've ever heard of. Now here's the thing, all the past winners of the good karma contest are entered into a final draw for $200,000!! And you get to keep 100,000 for yourself, and give away 100,000 to your favorite charity. Thats happening on april 9th. Fingers crossed that i'll even beable to make 9th caller... So i've been thinking, IF i won the 200grand, which charity would i give half the money to? RC and I had a discussion about this. We both agreed that The Food Bank would be an excellent way to spend the money. And maybe some of the smaller 'diseases' like MS, or Parkinsens (however you spell). Or maybe towards funding for breast cancer research. Its too bad that you couldn't split up that money to give to mutiple charities. The Canucks!! Wow, its been 11 years since we've won the division title! But we don't find out til tomorrow who we're against in the playoffs (either dallas or calgary). Bring it on. comments: 040404 04.16.04 - 4:08am - Tracy -Did you win? Have you taken the money and disappeared on a luxurious cruise to the Carribean? Congrats on your teams win. My football team is going along swimmingly so far. :D Go Canucks and Lions!! 04.16.04 - 11:30am - krynn -i wish! actually i'd probably use it for vacation money! could come and visit you and annalee in aussie. I watched AFL for the first time the other day!! really exciting. it was on satellite tv at work. can't wait to catch another game (the one i watched was richmond vs melbourne) 04.20.04 - 1:14am - Tracy -Sorry you didn't win. But big pats on the back to you for falling under the AFL spell! You really don't wanna barrack for Melbourne or Richmond though. You wanna barrack for my team - the Brisbane Lions. But if you really wanna barrack for one of the original Victorian sides, barrack for Carlton. They wear pretty blue uniforms. If you ever decide to barrack for Collingwood or Essendon, I'll have to disown you. Just a friendly tip. Oh, I have a LJ now...a really BORING LJ...in case you ever get tired of counting sheep. My LJ will put you right to sleep. http://www.livejournal.com/users/quietlybemused/ 03/26/04 - 0536pm A few days ago when i was driving home from work, i had the tunes cranked up and heard this song for the first time and for some reason it really tickled my heart. I haven't figured out if that was in a good way or bad way, but the song was very deep for me. It was Melissa Ethridges' "Breathe". Its definitely got to do with the lyrics. If you get a chance to listen to the song, let me know what you think. So today i was working, and my confidence almost hit rock bottom, and my day had just started (felt like the crapper). seriously not a good feeling. But I knew i had to let my emotions go and just put it behind me. I was fine soon after, and still am. I honestly have no clue what to talk about.... so... BLAH!! I'm in a chat right now w/ some great people, so off I go to pay a little more attnetion to them instead of my boring blog. comments: mar26_04 03.28.04 - 11:44pm - Tracy -I love this new look! Tis very purdy. Sorry you had a crap day. But hey - it's over now, and tomorrow can only get better. So chin up, look on the bright side, shrug it off...I can't think of anymore... 03.29.04 - 3:21pm - Nye -I have been a fan of just about every song I have ever heard entitled "breathe" Melissa Etheridge's song is pretty heavy with strong emotional lyrics, As usual, the music in the background isn't too strong in my memory, but I definitely like the song. 03/17/04 - 0526pm This is going to be a short entry cuz i'm somewhat in a rush to get out of here, but i know i won't beable to update in the next few days, so i thought i should post something. need to drive straight into rushhour to catch a bbq dinner tonight. So as i said in my previous entry, i've been having an awesome week. and it really has been a good week. I'm amazed myself. Its really funny too, a few days ago I had to tell some of my colleagues to 'shut up' cuz they were being too noisy. My colleagues were quite happy and encouraged it whenever it needed to be done. Now when is it 'OK' that you can tell your colleagues to shut up in a work environment? My job is probably one of the very few that allow it LOL. It was good. i got a little teased for that afterwards, but i didn't mind. i had to do what i had to do.. So now i'm totally hooked on CounterStrike the online game. i can't believe it! its so addictive. i mean i really suck. 2 kills and 15 deaths. LOL but oh well.. it sure was fun playing. hmm.. i think little pig has it on her computer >=) well, time to go for dinner, and a weekend of 'fun babysitting' ;) cheers! 03/14/04 - 0939pm I finally updated my site. modified the favorites and collages section, added comments, and added 2 hidden links with information about those freaky friends of mine =) Actually only one of them works at the moment since the other link is still under construction. This week has been amazing so far. My confidence seems to be going up, and i think i'm doing a kickas.. job at work. hopefully i'm not sounding too cocky at the moment, but i'm just having a great week. i wonder if its the sun thats been shining all week. all i can recall the last few days is getting out of bed, walking to my car, waving to the sun, drinking my tims coffee, giving it my all at work, then driving home while enjoying the tunes on z95.3, and stepping out of my car to smile at the stars. What can i say now? 'Knock on wood' Congratulations Trevor Linden!! for scoring your 674th point! *swoons* comments: great week 03.15.04 - 12:47am - Nye - I have been waiting to hear about days like this happening to my friend for a long time. I sincerely hope they continue for a long period of time. Let the good times roll *thumbs up* 03.15.04 - 12:50am - Nye -It just keeps getting better, the sun is only a minor factor. You get out what you put it, and it is paying out in spades."Carpe Diem", seize the day. If you look towards the light you will rarely see your shadow. 03.17.04 - 1:57am - aydenn -i'm liking the new layout. me also thinks the pic on the side is pretty cool cuz i can't figure out what the heck it is...is that the point? glad to hear life's treating you well! 2 thumbs up for my man Trevor! 03.25.04 - 7:01pm - krynn -LOL.. keep guessing. if you really can't figure it out, i'll show you next time we see each other. 03/09/04 - 0604pm I haven't had such an awesome day in soo long! Woke up early enough to drive and meet my bestfriend for lunch. It was a delicious lunch at Tim Hortons too. There was a lot of catching up between the both of us. Then a drive out to Steveston was nice. Walked around for a bit. Its amazing at how strong the wind is when you're right by the coast. I'm surprised my hair didn't get as messy as it could of. probably thanks to the hat my friend lended me. And before we knew it, our time was up, and we said our goodbyes. Was definitely an excellent afternoon. And then, the rest of the afternoon was just as good. I came home and found out that i had just won the 
soundtrack for the miniseries BG2003. And whats even better is that
its signed by the composer Richard Gibbs. I dont' think i've ever beeen
so lucky. And to think that i was plannign on not entering the contest
assuming that i woudln't win. I dont' think i've ever won anything,
so this was definitely luck.I wish there was more to say, but i have nothing else to add that sounds 'lucky' enough to be included in this blog ;) so i will leave it at that. I hope everyone is doing well. Off to Victoria to visit some great guys ;) Be back in a few days. 02/28/04 - 0248pm Its interesting the way the mind works. You try so hard to stay positive for so long one day it just seems like you 'break' and everything is over. And then when you feel like you've hit rock bottom, somehow you manage to pick yourself up and keep going. As if even though you're mentally exhausted, the heart won't give up, instead it gives you another boost to get back on your feet and still move forward. Interesting isn't it? Saturday and loving it. There is a convention this weekend which i should've checked out and its in Abbotsford. all about Vintage cars! nice eh? as i was driving home, a Fire red Camaro sat staring at me. i drove by it a little too quickly to bother turning around and taking a picture. now i regret it ;) she sure was pretty looking. Could've been something to drool over. But I know 'my girl' will be fixed up within the next few years and look just as pretty, but in BLUE. I'm not sure what type of blue yet because I haven't found the right one. But my Camaro will definitely be blue with white stripes.. Well, i'm going to watch The Music Man tonight. oh, and do laundry as well :| hopefully next time i'll have something more interesting to write. |
