Well Boys n girls.....yesterday was 6 months since we split.....she's now living with her new BF, has been for sometime now...but that's a different story for another day...LOL. I thought it would be nice to mark this day with a few jokes....at her expense of course.....so without further ado....here they are:
Roses are red, violets are blue,
Sugar is sweet, and so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead,
the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head...
Kind, intelligent, loving and hot.
This describes everything you are not...
I want to feel your sweet embrace
But don't take that paper bag off of your face...
I love your smile, your face, and your eyes.
Wow, I'm good at telling lies!
I see your face when I am dreaming.
That's why I always wake up screaming...
What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime...
HA!....Put a smile on my face. How about yours?
I suppose I should update you on the "Linda" situation.....if all goes well we're meeting for coffee on Sunday afternoon.....I must admit that I'm a bit nervous.....but I'm sure that will pass in time. There is part of me that thinks she's gonna back out.....but that's my little voice of reason...the one who for the most part keeps me out of trouble. Have no fear, I'll keep you in the Loop!
Ciao for now!

Hmmmmm! - Been over a week since I posted something
Well Boys n Girls........I think I'm bauck......bauck in the Snauck Pauck Groove!....LOL Well sir...that does take me back...or should I say BAUCK!...LOL For all of you who followed the old Blog ...you will get that reference....for those who didn't....well you're pretty much SOL!
I Emailed Linda this morning.....we're doing coffee on the weekend! I know this may not sound like a huge deal...but trust me it IS! We've been chatting a lot lately.....I just really wanted to meet her in person....she seems really nice...and...she thinks I'm a perfect Gentleman!
Now I know what some of you are thinking.....You! A Gentleman?!....Well Boys n Girls.....I turned over a new leaf...BIG SMILE!
Look I dunno if this is going to be Aces & Fireworks.....I'm just hoping for a new start on something....you know....it's been a while for me...I need this....if ever there was a time I needed some kind of reassurance that I still "Have It" then it's now.
From what I've gathered (and seen - wink wink) .......she's 40, 5'3, loves to go to the Gym, easy going, down to earth, great sense of humor, great smile, deep blue eyes.......sigh.....I just have to meet her! You would think that because she has two children it would freak me out...well it doesn't!...not in the least.
I was up and doing my morning walk this morning by 5:30am.....I was hoping that I might get some shots of the sun rising so that I could add a few shots to the Blog...but alas...no such luck....sun seemed to stay away like he's been up all night - Good Feeling..Thanks VF!
Tomorrow might be more promising.....you never know. It kind of sucks that Summer's really over and Winter's almost here.....Where did it go? What really happened? For those who know...I spent the Summer in a state of....well...out of my mind.....it's only now that things are starting to get back to normal...I'm just hoping that I can keep it together.....I think I've finally managed to put all that hatred where it belongs......in the "Black Hole"...far far away...never to be heard from ever ever again!
Hmmm....Strange thing is....Linda was supposed to be online by now.....wonder where she could be? Well, it's going for 11:00pm now.....told me in her email she'd be on by 10:30.....something must have come up.....besides, I can always send her an email in the morning. With a bit of luck I'll get a bit more sleep than I got last night.....cripes, I think I did 2 or maybe 3 hours..Tops! Not good when you have to have your wits about you!
Well...I think that about raps it up for tonight....have no fear Boys n Girls....I'll keep you in the loop as to what happens.
Ciao for Now!

Tuesday......Groaaaaaaan!
Well Boys n Girls.......almost time to start work for another week....just hoping that this week is more productive than the last one......did not get nearly as much done as I wanted to do.
As per usual, listening to Jack FM...LOL one of my guilty pleasures I guess....I just find that the local radio stations just don't play enough of the music I like...this station does....SO THERE!
Started doing the morning walk again.....sigh....need to get back into shape if I'm going to give the dating scene my full attention...LOL Started off with 40 minutes.....not sure what I'm going to do when it starts to snow....might have to do sit-ups or......GASP!!!....push-ups.
I got another reply from one of the dating sites I signed up for.....her name is Linda....and she's kinda cute LOL....well from what I saw anyway! I emailed her my MSN ID so maybe we can start chatting....you never know where it will lead.

Came and Went!
It's all over for another year....only next time I'll be turning the BIG 40.....then I'll be really depressed. As far as birthdays went, it was pretty good....got a few nice things LOL. The one thing that I wanted was to have someone there to share it with me....but alas.....it was not meant to be!
Another month has started....which means another chance to get it right.....sigh.....maybe this time will be the one...starting to cost me a fortune....in more ways than one!
I'll be back later!

3 days to go!
I can't imagine I waited this long to post something....shame on me...tsk tsk! Well in three days time I'll be 39...what a drag it is getting older! - Thanks MJ. No big plans....just going to take it easy I think.....there will of course be the usual obligatory dinner at my father's place...prolly something like Ham or Turkey.....would be nice to have BBQed steaks....but I digress.
Sigh...it's 6:20am....just waiting for my first tea of the day....used to be a time when all I drank was coffee.....I think tea is supposed to be better for you....something about not as much caffeine or something like that.
Thinking about going back to the "No Meat " thing.....I think my weight loss has leveled out...I don't seem to be losing any more...but then again I'm not really "Actively" going out of my way to lose any more either....LOL I'm comfortable with how I look now.....a lot better than the pile of Goo I was before.
Still single........sigh!!!! Not really searching for that either.....right now I just prefer it if I was alone...if it happens it happens......I'm still a bit tired and jaded of "relationships"
I'm concerned about something.......I have this feeling that when my probation is up in September.....I won't be asked to stay.....dunno what it is but I have a feeling that my performance will not be up to their standards.....I know it's silly but I do things like that....dwell on things that make no sense at all...I mean if I was lacking in areas that needed improvement....I'm sure I would have received some kind of direction before now....right!!?? One would think so.....I guess I'll know next month.....if worse comes to worse I don't know what I'll do.....I really can't afford to loose this job....fingers crossed Boys n Girls.

Pete Townsend said it best.......
It was once written that "Friends will be friends...Nothing can change that....." Well Boys n Girls....it has been decided....I think it best that Jane and I just remain friends.....I did a lot of thinking this morning....I would imagine so did she....I got a call from her.....in a straight forward manner she just came right out and asked what I wanted.....I didn't beat around the bush...I said..."Right now I'm just looking for a Buddy, a Pal, some one I can shoot the shit with"...which is true...I just don't see myself in a relationship right now.......and I have no romantic feelings for her..I just didn't want to lead her on...I'm sure she can get her share of dates....I'm guessing that there was prolly some one else that wanted to ask her and she just wanted to see if there was anything between us first...I would have done the same thing...it's true! (We both agreed that it was pretty tasteless to date one than one person at a time.)
So now it's back to square one.....I'm just hoping that there is no weirdness between us....I mean it's not like there was a chance of anything happening.....I mean with our schedules....it would be next to impossible to find the time to let anything develop.....I thought we clicked on a lot of levels....except one....there was just no.....how shall I put this.....Physical Chemistry...if that makes any sense.....I hope it does...because that's the last I'm going to mention it.

A Burger at 6:15 am?!...Really?!
I bet you're wondering about the title? Well yes I will admit that for breakfast....I had a burger....there I said it!...and you know what???.....it was delicious!
Well Boys n Girls...I'm back. Yesterday was very interesting....you see we went to Brigus....but we had a few stops on the way. Let me explain. Jane is a DJ....weddings, corporate events, birthdays...you get the picture....so she picks me up and the odd thing is there's no uneasy tension between us...none...very causal...so we hang out at her place for a light breakfast of Tea and Toast...have a Chit chat and what not...then it's decided that before we head off to Brigus to drop off 2 sets of wedding gear to the two guys she has working for her
...perhaps I should back up a bit. While there is lots of work in the DJ game...there's only so much one person can do...so...she has a couple of buddies that pick up the slack.....and on the rare occasion....gives her the chance to have a couple of days off....like yesterday!
Back to where I was....So we head to her storage locker and load up her Van....which in itself was no big deal...then off to two different hotels to drop off the gear.....almost felt like I was a Roadie...how strange was that?! I really can't explain it...there was no tension between us...not sure if that is a good thing or not....the kind of tension I was thing was...shall we say...the physical kind....you know what I'm talking about Boys n Girls...the Sexual kind....there was just nothing there....kinda like two buddies helping each other out....weird huh.
So anyway....let's fast forward....we're on the road heading to Brigus. Hands up who's ever been on a road trip?....Then you all know that on long trips or even short ones...with some one new....the silence can be awkward to say the least...right?!...Well I have to say that there was none of that...chatted the whole way there....of course the chat was interrupted every now and again by her Cell....seems like a good DJ is always in high demand....we talked on everything from our Exes, movies, favorite foods to singers with the worst voices....I guess the usual preliminary date questions...but the thing is...it did not really feel like a date....weird huh?....Dunno how to explain it.
A bit about Brigus...
Brigus stands at the forefront of Newfoundland's heritage settlements. The origin of the name Brigus is not known for sure. One theory has it coming from the town names of Brickhouse or Brighouse, in Yorkshire, England. Another has the name coming from the French word for intrigue or plot, Brigue. The town counts among its settlers, pioneers from England, Ireland and Wales. It was at one time one of the major sealing ports. In 1947, Brigus sent sixty-six vessels to the seal hunt and over half were captained by natives of Brigus.
The thing about Brigus is that in some areas you feel like time has remained unchanged....some of the houses look like they did 75-100 years ago.....anywho...on with the photos!
Now look at this one....can you imagine living in something that small...look how close to the edge of the cliff the house is?!...and that veranda....would NOT be on that thing with more than two people...LOL...still...I think is very nice.
This tunnel was blasted out of solid rock using.....get this...only gun powder....in those days access to dynamite was hard to come by.....took a crew 4 months to do it...main reason for it?....so that one of the leading Merchants could have improved access to his wharfs and stages.
Now I hope you don't laugh too hard at this one.....we honestly thought that this place was a restaurant....seriously!!....the door was open for all to see...there was a few people milling around enjoying drinks and nibbles....I was going to snap a shot of them inside...but I thought it kind of tacky...that and I have a rule about taking peoples photos without their permission.
There you go......right back to 1900....seems like things have not changed a bit.
Now as anywhere there are the rich and not so rich....rumor has it that the owner of this
"Summer Cottage and Guest House" had the area blasted out of the cliff just so that he could have enough land to build....and yes that is his Yacht. (Best to click on the picture for a better look)
Just a Sailboat moored in the Bay....wish I could have one. Hey Santa...if you're listening!!!
Just me Boys n Girls....you finally get to see the Blogger responsible for so very very many rants over the years....look at me...I'm smiling....well sort of! LOL
Nice Place huh?
This is Hawthorne Cottage. Check out this link for the history behind it. I don't really feel like going off on some History Lesson..School's out. http://www.historicsites.ca/hawthorne.html
So anyway......we spend a huge part of the day just walking around....taking in the sites and sounds of Brigus...I have to say I had a good time. Now the trip back was a bit of a laugh....seems we took a wrong turn or something.....because we ended up WAY off course...hehehe...never made it back until past 10:00 pm.
