The Beast Awakens

Well, the (former) Section-9.ca crew got together for coffee last night. The four of us hadn't gotten together in recent memory. Funny how time seems to pass us all by. TheRich pointed out that we had to get together at least this one last time before I become a father and my free time becomes anything but free.

During our conversations, blogging was brought up. I haven't been blogging near as much as I have in the past and TheRich suggested maybe I had made an unannounced departure from blogging. This isn't really the case, but I very rarely do I feel any desire to post anything anymore. I think when I do post, it's more because I know it will be uploaded as a note to Facebook.

So, blogging isn't completely over for me, but if I was a part-time blogger before, I guess I'm a part-part-time blogger now. Later days.

Facebookin'

Listening to: "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns 'n Roses from the album Appetite for Destruction

You may have noticed that I'm posting here way more often than normal for me. Part of that is because all these posts are also being syndicated on my Facebook profile. Actually, maybe the only was most of you have seen these posts is through Facebook.

Yes, this means I am still Facebook's bitch. It's not quite as exciting as it was in the beginning, but every so often I connect with someone I forgot about or who I never thought I'd hear from again. It's getting invaded a bit too much by the "MySpace Crowd". What I mean by this is that there are all these apps coming out that are taking away from the reason I got into Facebook in the first place. I don't need to worry about what causes other people are believing in, what their horoscope is- nor do I need to be "SuperPoked". Despite all this though, I'm still loving it and checking it pretty much daily. Rock on, Facebook. Rock on. Later days.

Another Long Weekend Almost in the Books

Peaches and I were remarking to each other as we crawled into bed at 9:30 on Saturday night how much things have changed in a few short years. Long weekends were a chance to head out anywhere and be with friends, drink, and generally be stupid.

This Saturday of the long weekend found us looking after our nephew and crawling into bed, as I said, at 9:30, after working my butt of around the house Friday night and Saturday. And neither of us would change a thing.

Yesterday we didn't do a whole lot. We went out for a belated-Mothers-Day/early-Birthday dinner for my mom and sister respectively, and today is not shaping up to be much more productive. It's currently 1:42 and I have yet to shower (although I'll be jumping in when I'm finished this post).

You'll notice I don't post much anymore and part of that is due to my infatuation with Facebook, as well as the fact that it's spring and a lot needs done around the house. I love having a house. It's a lot of work, but at the end of the day you're improving your own living situation and can take pride in it. Later days.

Unsettling

Wow, is anyone else disconcerted with the fact that this is my second post since TheRich or Grindy have posted? Amazing.

So, some updates. I'm still loving my job and hoping there will be the chance to move permanent in a year when my contract is up. Sens are in the second round of the playoffs and could take series tonight with a win in New Jersey.

I no longer Twitter. I have stopped Twitterific from opening when I boot up my computer, I have taken down my Twitter status updater from this site and my last Twitter update was April 17th - "Do people still use this thing?"

Facebook on the other hand, is still like crack. I have found it an amazing way to catch up with people from high school especially. I'm heading to the movies on Tuesday to see Spiderman 3 with people I haven't seen for easily 3-4 years. God bless you Facebook! Later days.

Not Twitting So Much Anymore...

While I'm still Facebook's bitch, I have found less and less use for Twitter. I also, obviously have had little to blog about as of late.

Our beloved Ottawa Senators have made a big push to take this first round of playoffs away from the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Pens are always referred to as the young team compared to the Senators, but it is Ottawa who has lower average age on their team. That being said, as Grindy pointed out, Gary Roberts really skews the average for Pittsburgh. He's proven himself as a physical player and a good leader though, so hat's off to him at 40 years of age.

Peaches' mom and dad are taking us out to The Keg for birthday (which was last Sunday). What will I have... chicken? Ribs? Yeah right! Later days.

Still Twitting

Well, it's almost 2 months later and I am still using Twitter on a somewhat regular basis! I'm not updating every 30 minutes like I was when I first signed up, but by that token, I am now gainfully employed where I was losingly unemployed at that point.

Also, much of my attention has been taken away from all else (including this blog) and redirected towards Facebook. I truly am Facebook's bitch. It has been nice though, reconnecting with people from past school, places of employment, etc. The most interesting thing I have found are my friends who know some of my other friends and I didn't even know it! Try it! I've even got Peaches hooked. Later days.
