Wow. It’s been a while huh? I guess all the life changing angst and such has kept me busy. Actually, I was reminded of how little I write here when I checked Gen’s blog today. Thanks Gen!

It’s been a month since I moved out, and I gotta tell ya, life is pretty damn good. I like single. I like my own space. I get to watch whatever TV I want, take up the whole bed, stay on the internet all night if I so choose to. It sounds harsh, but I haven’t truly been this happy, this relaxed, in a very long time.

My new place is right downtown, very close to Elgin, which makes life interesting. It’s nice to be back where there is some life – although that has it’s good and bad points. It’s a fairly decent sized place, but I haven’t even finished unpacking entirely yet, and it’s been a month. But hey, I can take as long as I want now, and no one can say ANYTHING.

I got a new tattoo yesterday, and broke one of my major tattoo rules in doing so. I always told myself that I would never get a foreign (specifically asian) character tattooed anywhere on my body. Well. Yesterday I went and got the Korean word for Perserverance (wow I can’t spell) tattooed on my inside left ankle.

I can, however, justify this. I’ve been taking Tae Kwon Do for almost a year now, and recently acquired my red stripe (which means two more belts until black belt!! Of course, that will likely be in a year and a half or more from now). As part of my Tae kwon Do training I have to learn some Korean. As well, TKD has been a huge challenge for me because of my disability, and it has truly taught me about perserverance.

Plus, you just have to admit that it’s not nearly as functional to get “perserverance” tattooed on you.

I love it, and am obsessed with looking at it in that way one does when they get a new tattoo.

Mél and I broke up a few days ago. I’m aimimg to move out June 1st. It hurts like hell, but mostly just because it always hurts to let go of the comfortable and go out on your own into something new.

We tried our best, and it didn’t work out. But at least we can say that we tried.

After some serious neglect of this journal – particularly the comment moderation – I would up with 3000+ spam comments. It was so many that I couldn’t delete them in the regular way in wordpress because the load caused errors. Thanks to a lovely little trick in phpmyadmin I got rid of them in one fell swoop. It was almost impossible to write in here knowing that it was all poluted with spam (yes, I have weird psychological quirks).

Let’s see, what’s been going on in my life? My girlfriend successfully got a job in the RCMP, and they are currently working on making her permanent. My job has sucked so much, but they pay me and I’ve done all I can for the moment, so whatever. Sadly, other than that not much has been happening.

I feel like I should at least make a passing comment on the fact that Pope John Paul II passed away this past Saturday April 2nd. I don’t feel much about it. I mean, I disagreed vehemently with almost all his politics, but admired the fact that he kept working so far into his depleted health. I can’t imagine being that devoted to my work, lol.

I am watching to see who they elect. Sadly I don’t think anything in the Catholic Church will change.
