Unopened Letter to the World

Hey gang

Well i am back..sort of

Dealing with it, it sucks sometimes especially when you really care about someone, someone who you love being around. But we chatted lots last night, i think we are gonna get along a-ok. These things just take time. Last thing i wanted to do was go to Japan and have things between me and Kimberly be terrible.

So how is everyone? I have a BIG announcement! Last Thursday afternoon i recieved an e-mail from the NOVA office in Toronto and it read like this:

Dear Mr. Hawley,

Nova Group is happy to inform you that as the Certificate of Eligibility process is underway, your departure date has been determined. Please read the following outline carefully as it contains important information regarding your flight arrangements and the next steps in the process of preparing to work in Japan with Nova Group. A reservation has been made for you on the Group flight as follows

Departing Canada on: 1/9/2007
Arriving in Japan on: 1/10/2007 at Narita International Airport, Tokyo

While it is not imperative that you arrive on the group flight, it is recommended. Teachers arriving on the group flight are met at the airport by Nova Foreign Personnel staff. Nova Group covers onward travel and luggage delivery costs and the Nova Staff will assist you to your apartment in Japan. If you prefer to make your own flight arrangements, you must first contact the Toronto recruiting staff before confirming any details. Please also be aware teachers not arriving on the group flight are not met and all expenses incurred are the teacher’s responsibility. Any alternative arrangements to arrive Japan must still be made for the arrival date and airport as indicated above.

Heavy eh? Looking forward to it.
Well went to go see Guns and Roses the other night in Halifax, it was fun as a friend of mine got me a backstage pass. I did not meet GnR, but i saw the Trews, the Suicide Girls (Who were ummmm...s0mething else...i am never gonna look at a riding crop the same one ever again.. ) and the Trailer Park Boys were around as well. It was a fun show, a local back whom i cannot remember the name of opened the show, The Suicide Girls did their thing, which was funny because a lady by me bitched and bitched because she had her kid with her, i told her but you let him listen to Guns N Roses!?!?!?!?!!? GnR took the stage at 11:30 and proceeded to rock the house down playing lots of oldies. It bothered me for a second hearing November Rain, but i was pretty caught up in the excitement of see GnR...well sort of GnR and the Trailer Park Boys joined them for a reendition of Liquor and Whores...lots of fun and I did not get back in good ol Middleton till 4:00 in the morning. Ran into my Old Buddy Bullen the other day at Mount Saint Vincent, it was nice that we sat dpown and chatted for awhile about stuff, well old times in the good ol Tower. It is funny when the topics get onto people that we have no recollection of whatever the hell happened to them. I also made a sidetrip to Eastern Passage and checked out all kinds of ol stuff, drove by our old house and saw my old Q104 stickers still in the window as well as the shed Dad built still standing tall in the backyard. Yes the Axemen lost to Laval, i have not heard the end of it either, of well always next year.
Well i have a doctors appointment for 3:30 this afternoon, went to outpatients the other day and they really didn't do anything for me. So i have an appointment with my doctor this afternoon. I think i have a case of Bronchitis (I am not a smoker!) What is Bronchitis?

Bronchitis is an obstructive pulmonary disorder characterized by inflammation of the bronchi of the lungs. It is common in habitual tobacco smokers and residents of polluted cities. Like many disorders, bronchitis can be acute (short-term), or chronic (long-lasting). Chronic bronchitis is defined clinically as a persistent cough that produces sputum matter that is coughed up from the respiratory tract, for at least three months in two consecutive years the period can be longer but may not be.Chronic bronchitis is predominantly caused by smoking, and has also been linked to pneumoconiosis, excessive alcohol consumption and exposure to cold and draught.
Yep..wanna get rid of this one!
So i have been going back to the gym here in Middleton, i am going to pick up a student pass aka a monthly pass so i can go work out, i have dropped 6 pounds and i would like my body to look a little better. Although i hear there is an urban legend that Japanese women like bigger men. Dunno about that one...
Anyways, i am going to have my shower, feed the doggies, go downtown, go to my appointment and then go to work. I am going to grab a copy of Superman Returns and Clerks 2 from work, hopefully someone who i still think is really cool will wanna watch them with me.

Have a good one folks!

    As long as we're going up against that Quebec team, we'll never win Laval!

    Well I thought this website was about "Rocky"? oh well.
    GnR: Axle got to keep the name...WOW. I seen them several years earlier when they were the real deal. Axle jumping into the crowd looking for a fight.
    So my son (who is 2) climbs into the car, does not want to hear barney or the hokey pokey song...he belts out "Daddy, can you play...We Will Rock YOU." So as I reach to hit the CD button He looks at me and smiles. My dauther (age 6) sitting beside him with my MP3 player, the headset is on backwards and upside down. As I try and think what was the last song playing when I turn it off. Then, there is a break in We Will Rock You...I hear my daugther humming the beat to "Paradise By The Dashboard Light."
    Funny thing...Everytime I drive on OceanLea Drive in the Passsage (Yes, three S's) I notice the same two Q104 stickers plastered in a certain basement window. Then my thoughts turn to a certain day when an older brother of a really good friend moved out...Found: one VCR tape. Being at the age of 16, every normal boy would want to throw the tape in and wait to see what was on the tape, as the tape played the TV screen was jumping and the picture was not clear, then and there the picture became clear. It was not the Habs winning the cup...As I recall the mother of the older brother was in the room, also, wondering what could be on this VHS tape...It was not a guy pumping gas, at a gas station, nor a guy using a hammer to fix something...it was and I quote from the purple haired mother "ITS A FUCKING PORNO!"
