Some Things Change

This could be my last post on this site/location. I believe I've spread myself too thin online.

On Halloween, I watched a bird die

I was working with my dad on the silo. As he had to climb up in the silo to fork silage down, I was left at the base making sure the silage was landing on the auger to be sent out for the cattle. The first thing he threw down was a bird which appeared to have a broken wing. It was still alive but on its back and couldn't turn over. I quick and grabbed a broom handle to flip it over as the bird was going to be covered in silage. It appeared to collect its senses and started to waddle away from the running machinery. So for a short time, I thought the bird would be alright. I concentrated on the work at hand. A few minutes later, I took a glance in the down the manger. I saw the bird that I flipped over jumped into the manure on the south side, and without proper balance, landed into the quasi-liquid shit head first. I couldn't leave my post. It was flapping its good wing desperately trying to flip over. Again, I could not leave my spot but my job was nearly done. Once we got our job completed, I walked over to see if I could help the bird only to be too late as the bird drowned in a combination of mud and cow shit. If the bird jumped on the north side instead of the south, it might of survived.

Being too occupied or taking a break

I haven't wrote here for a few months because I felt like I didn't have anything worth writing. I got drunk. I saw no movies. I worked out for a bit. I played some video games. I read some books. I worked in the fields.

Can you write roughly the same thing over and over and not notice?

I'm Heading to Toronto Today

I have no idea how I'm getting from London to Toronto though. I'm seriously considering the train because I haven't travelled by train in awhile, and I find it to be less stressful.

gym and no tv

I've been going to the gym since the start of the month. I go three times a week in the morning for roughly an hour. It makes the rest of the day seem vibrant and sleeping at night more sound. It's a weird experience for me, but a needed one nonetheless.

I also got rid of my television. I gave it to my sister for her birthday, even though she gave it to me years ago when they moved from their apartment in Chatham to their first house. I'm unable to watch TV shows in private now, but I think I have to cut down on watching TV so it all works out in the end.

monthly ramblings... march... 2011.

I want to say something, but I feel like that I have nothing important or vitality useful to say at this time. Then again, lots of people say things that are useless and well, things you want to "unremember".


Anyways.

I've been in a Bjork kick lately. I bought a couple of used cds late last year at City Lights Bookshop in London, and now, I've travelled from Toronto to Windsor and most points in between trying to find anything from Bjork or the Sugarcubes in vinyl. It also makes me question my motives on my buying habits. A year ago, I was cutting down on comics and now I collect a couple a month. Four years ago, I spent $30 a week buying comics while buying the occasional record. Now I buy $60 on records without blinking.

I do know my purchases will be smaller in the coming weeks as the ground dries up and planting starts.

Anyways.

I'm 35 now

I don't feel it though, other than the frustration of not getting things done by the time I want it done, like reading certain books or making more trips outside south western ontario.

Tomorrow, I'll be in Washago...

and you won't... unless you actually live there.

Checklist

Deaths in Family - 4, grandfather, aunt (grandfather's sister), second cousin and his wife
Acres sold - 100
Fuel saved on sold acrage - lots
Comics given away - more than I collected this year (that could be good)
Resolutions to make and break - LOTS HAHAHAHAHAHA
Books acquired in the past year - a crazy amount


I'm under the weather and a bit loopy. I'm still sticking writing once a month on this blog, however, I could shut it down sometime next year. The heart is not in it like it once was.

A month

My 97 year old aunt died and my grandfather's house now belongs to a young couple. Sure those are things to write about, but right now I just want something to look forward to. I think something from me has to change in the coming weeks.

I think I need a vacation, or some sort of a break

Soybeans are off.
Wheat is in the ground.
Corn is nearly ready.
I sleep light.

umm....

I was planning to write an update on what's happened to me, but since there hasn't been any major changes in my own life, I can safely say nothing new has happened. I'm not trying to cop out on writing a post, dick all has happened.

Stylized Hoarding

Due to my odd collecting habits, I might be forced to drive all the way to Burlington just to buy a piece of space saving furniture. I do accept that I brought this upon myself, and will probably do something like this again.

A Purchase

Earlier this week I bought Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies for the Nintendo DS. I'm not going to see daylight for awhile.

Living the life Un-fantastic.

The fan went on my macbook. I was without a computer for a week. I've caught up on some of the backlog of books I've purchased but have not read.

Moustache May

I'm in it.

Minor update, April, 2010

I've been dealing with sinus problems again, and I'm still contemplating on removing this blog altogether as an effort to clean up my internet footprint. I've realize that most of my interests are fleeting and some of the things I said on this blog have very little value to me right now. I also feel that I tend to repeat myself, but with different words that may or may not be concise. Anyways, next update will be in early May.

I'm still undecided for Moustache May at this point.

Web Footprint

I've decided to write less online.
