I am going to be moving journals at some point. I have to finish some layout tweaks and move my friends list over there which is the part that I'm slow at and will probably do it in small groups of people whenever I feel like it. So I'm not officially done here until all of that is finished but if you would like to add me in advance to make things slighly easier on me that would be cool. The new one is soulsymbol.


Today I made an appointment to get pre-approved for a mortgage. Things are in motion. Looking at houses in the paper/online is one of the most fun things ever and I'm guessing my head will explode when it is time to do it for real. Buying before summer is this good thing and I may be moving sooner than I originally intended. This will make summer interesting.


I am in a very good mood, and have a good portion of work to do today. Productivity is most awesome.

This may be a tad last-minute, but Mike and I are going to be spinning a live set for a couple hours on Friday night at my place. We plan to start at 6 and go until around 9ish. If you are interested in coming over to hang out, listen to us play music, and having general good times then you should come out.

I'm just asking two things. The first being that you let me know if you're coming, so I know how many people to expect. The second is that you actually have interest in listening to Mike and I, and socializing with people. This isn't a gathering for people to come over and play video games or going on the computer. It isn't going to be just sitting and listening to music for a few hours, but music is the focus. Some people have been interested in seeing us mixing, and though it isn't a large venue like Pharaoh's this will be a little more interactive. I think it would be great to have a few people over for a fun evening. :)

This week has been most awesome. Matt and Lisa came in from Calgary for the week, and there were many shenanigans. I got Matt in to play at Pharaoh's on Friday, and Sandy was stalking me so more parties. Sidenote: I feel like I'm going to do something amazing next time I play there. I have this feeling. I wonder when it will be.

Shiloh and Micah have never gotten so much attention in one week. Adventure hamsters. I have a billion pictures.

I have so much work to do, and I am so motivated right now. I guess that's a silly thing to say seeing as I'm procrastinating a tiny bit by writing this, but it is more of a taking a break for a short time. I really feel like this is where things are going to really start moving for me as long as I make them. That's something people have to remember. Things aren't going to come to you if you just sit around all the time waiting for them to. If all goes according to plan I envision there to be a lot of changes by the end of summer.

Summer is love. It's pretty much here already, I love the warm weather. Though the real summer with the no snow and the me on vacation for two weeks is appealing. Though there is so much more than vacation to be excited for. Everything.


The best thing in the world that I discovered a few days ago: Terra Chips. They are positively orgasmic. Potato chips really haven't been appealing to me lately, but I'm rather hooked on these right now. Has anybody else seen these around Winnipeg at all? I found them in the Shoppers next to my house so I assume most if not all other ones would carry them, but if there is anywhere else in the city I'd like to know for posterity.

Being around people who complain a lot can be so tiring. Especially when they're complaining about things beyond their control. I think the world would be a happier place if people learned to try to make the best of their situations.

Sometimes it is tricky to listen to me. I've been fairly blah all weekend, and I can't seem to get myself back on a positive note. Things aren't particularly bad, but they're not really good either. I'm bored, and feel like I should be being productive but I've done so much already and really can't think of much more I can do now. Except I'll probably go play on my cdjs or something. Music makes everything better.


This is one of those silly entries where I am just writing in here to attempt to pass some time, but I think I prefer the cdj option right now. I'm way too hot, and the basement is always cold in the winter. Why is everybody hating on winter anyway? Seriously, just dress warmer and walk/drive carefully.

Today I napped after work, and in the middle of it I was woken up by Shiloh running in his wheel. That made me so happy. Little guy is starting to get his energy. My baby is almost all better.

Micah is doing well. He's still so curious, and a little timid. He doesn't seem to like hamster treats much, where as Shiloh can't seem to get enough of them. He's starting to learn to jump off surfaces, and starting to not poop on my bed when I bring him out. Growing upfox!


I want to buy a house. I've been super lame with past claims of my wanting to move out. Saying "but this time I mean it" usually never has any impact and just causes people to laugh, but I do fully think it is possible this time. I finally have my life headed in the right direction, and the proper motivation to get myself there. It is still some period of time away, but I'm really thinking of it right now. If anybody with any sort of experience in the field has anything they could tell me about this, sharing stories is fun!


I'm very excited for many things coming up. Matt and Lisa are coming to visit in ten days. The casino is having the seafood buffet in March. Andy Moor is coming to Winnipeg in May (That was my second best finding for the day). There is a lot to look forward to. The last weekend and beginning of this week has actually been relatively crummy, but this weekend should be a whole lot better.

Today I had to take Shiloh to the vet. It was sort of scary, as I get worried pretty easily over the little guy if something is wrong. He should hopefully be okay though.


This is Micah.


He's rather timid, but also a fast learner.

Okay guys, Dim Sum Garden tomorrow (Monday the 29th) at 2:30.
Please let me know if you are coming (and who else you are bringing) so I know how many people to get a table for.
Hope to see you guys there!

People have been asking me when I'll be spinning next, and now we have a confirmed date.

I am DJing at Pharaoh's this Friday (the 18th) from 10-11pm. I hope anybody who didn't get to see me last time will have a chance to this time. I want to make something entirely huge and most groovy. I am very excited.


2008 has been great so far. Perpetuating awesomeness and all that. I would write more, but I have so much work to do for Friday that it will have to wait.

So I had such a great new year, and got sick right after. I am almost better now, but it was pretty bad. I was stuck in the house for two days, which causes much cabin fever. (I'll never understand how people can choose to stay home for that long themselves, and two days really isn't all that long a time period.) I think the cold-part will stick around for a little longer than the rest, but I'm close to normal health again otherwise.

It was a real treat to go outside today, especially with the weather. It felt like spring all afternoon it was so warm and it looks like it'll be like this all weekend. This winter has been so good to us so far. I'm going out again tomorrow on some sort of mission. Today was exciting. An all you can eat Japanese restaurant was tried, and it was good.

Mikefox is still the coolest, for bringing me orange juice on my first sick day. Orange juice is my favourite sick-thing.


I'm looking forward to getting back to work. I think having less free time actually motivates me to do more. Or perhaps I just feel that way from being lazy and sick for days now. I started a large cd burning project today, so that is good. I hope I can finish that relatively soon. I really need to start spinning more again. That is what I would like to dedicate a lot more time to in the next little while, and I feel like now with December out of the way I'll have all the free time in the world.


Now all I have to do is wait for David West's Hello Piano to come out...

2007 was quite the amazing year for me. There were a lot of things that happened and quite a few changes. Quite a bit was music related, I've advanced so much in that area and accomplished so much more than I thought I would over the year.

What excites me is 2008 is going to bring so much more.


Last night was a lot of fun. It was the right way to bring in the next year, spent with a lot of my friends. For the first time in awhile now I can finally say I don't have anything to worry about. December was so hectic, and I finally have time to relax.


Last year I learned a lot about myself, some more pretty important things came out which built on what I did the year before. I now know how I will react to specific things, people treating me certain ways, and how I'll deal with situations people will put me in again and again. Probably one of the more important things is I've come to see the difference between me being impartial towards how certain people are towards me and the point of self disrespect. I'm also very okay with being honest, and starting to accept that being honest means next to nothing for some people.


I have a few resolutions for this year. I've never really been much of making them before, but as last year happened I plan on making everything this year even better.
