Hey folks,

I am feeling great. I have gotten back into the gym to get myself in shape (I am now down to 210 pounds as I write this) and have been chosen for the Telus 4-year apprenticeship for Home Phone Installation and Repair. Yes, I will be a telephone repairman...and I couldn't be happier :-)

Everything is good right now, and it is because of my unwavering faith in God that I am still here today. I have lost and regained, have finished what I started, and am now on track to have my own car and apartment by the end of the year.

Life is good, and to quote a friend of mine, "Never refuse a moment to stop and smell the roses your hard work produces, as long as that moment does not conflict with work".

Also, here is a great clip of what the State Of The Union Address (that thing the US President does that interrupts good American television once a year) would sound like if it were done by Al Gore. From Saturday Night Live, and Al Gore is actually doing the dialogue. I pissed myself laughing watching this and I hope you will too. make sure you download it to your hard drive and don't stream it though...you will want to savour the flavour on this one.

...and I'm out.
