what needed to be done...

Well, after a couple stressful weeks, I decided to use tonight as just a casual tuesday relaxer... Had a few friends over, smoked a little ganja (yes, a 70's reference... I hate "weed") and just chilled out in our backyard with some music...

We ended the night with a trip for half price wings with some old friends and had a blast.

Relaxing should be a job, if so I could get paid millions. (also eating, t.v. reviewing, and being lazy...just throwing these out there for the general public)

--rob...pondering...

p.s. we have developed a term for being burnt out after smoking weed:

"wangover: the day after a fun night of recreational weed smoking. These nights could involve munchies or crazy adventures"

...

"hey Rob, can you come in early today?"
"What time?"
"Don't act like you are going to say no, we know you need the hours..."
"Doesn't change what time it would be, so what time?"
"1 o'clock, I guess we'll see u then"
"yuppers..."

**reasons why I hate this job**

Some might say that's embarassing...

First of all, there should be some feature on your msn so that it cannot be accessed when you are intoxicated (perhaps a breathalizer test on ur computer, I don't know, just an idea I have been throwing around ) alas, there is not and this is when embarassment overtakes you.

Yes, I committed the ultimate sin of drinking and decided to go online upon my return home, and go online I did. I decided that I would email every question I had ever pondered to people that I would never ask to their face... ie... "what happened to us?" or example b) "what was it that kept us from not getting to know eachother?"....probably sounds cheesy, but I took low key examples from the email(s) to use within this blog.

So, after an attempt to clear the air on the emails with the people who had received them, I felt bad/embarassed as I called them out on stuff I would never ever want to talk about, and these poor people probably felt the need to answer, when really...the questions were unanswerable.
(see msn response today "I don't know what you want me to say")

yup, fucked that up royally, but this is what a few beers, a couple whiskey sours, and a shot of tequila will do to you! I am going to try and patent my computer breathalizer test, maybe that will give me some much needed $ for school.

-out like the fat kid in dodgeball

What to do when it all hits you at once...

Yup, it all hit me
-shitty job/pay/some coworkers
-shitty work schedule that limits time with friends
-being at home sucks when u r home alone all day, and your friends are working...and u have no money to do anything anyways...

Given the situation above, I decided that I am going to avoid this for a whole summer, and do something interesting so I do not dread those who had great summers in the fall... So, I am going to say goodbye Ontario, and hello B.C...yes, I have made the decision and applied at a ton of places on the West Coast to work for the summer. I am going to be here until Mid-June and return Mid-August. I promised myself I would never let a job treat me like crap, and that is exactly what is happening now:

"Why do I have only 9 hours"-Rob
"Well, as the manager said, 'that will teach him to book of a weekend, doesn't he realize that's what he was hired for'"-fellow employee
"Do you think I just lied about being involved on my resume, and p.s. it said no where in my contract that I was strictly weekends..."-Rob
"You were supposed to have 10 hours, but then they realized they had used to many"-same colleague

I almost wish that I had never taken that job, it has been more of a burden then a joy...way more of a burden. The day I can tell them I am going to B.C. will be the best day of my summer!

Hopefully this angry blog will give me the vent I need to keep smiling and laughing...

I guess this stems from a shitty day...sorry all!

Wicked is coming back to Toronto! enough said,.,, 

yup, so I quit the marketing job...

Currently re-unemployed...yes, how sad is my life... I quit a crap ass job (door to door golf package sales) and have returned to being just a beer store employee. I am applying at a local tim horton's just to build up some cash this summer prior to heading off to school again, but this just blows.

I just want to know where all the factory jobs/high paying jobs are and why the fuck can't I land one. I have searched high and low, over the internet and in person and nothing...but at least I have been trying!

Anyways, I am not angry, as if I have to work two jobs, that will just have to be how it goes...goodbye summer, it was nice thinking about hanging out with you...

this isn't from this weekend, but we called this "duck cow and rastafarian" I am trying to keep my eyes open.... posted purely for entertainment purposes 

it was a night of the "Shocker"

A long weekend indeed...

Yes, I started off my weekend a little slow, friday I chose bed over party (yes, a first for rob stewart) but I made the right choice... Saturday night we went to thamesford where we went to a crazy drunken dance (it was like a highschool reunion) and I loved it!

Sunday night was spent at a buddy's house...this is the night that proved to be the most debaucherous! I did the shocker in every photo, I did lunges while drinking beer, I danced around like a moron (nothing special with that) and otherwise just had a great time! We also decided it was time to bring some horrid words into our vocabs again...pictures will follow, but I am awaiting someone to send them through :)

I am still in my post-play mood and I am now going to see beauty and the beast ! aka...the musical that started my love for musicals! I watched a chorus line and west side story this weekend to cure my hangovers and allow me to laugh and have fun!

"when ur a jet, your a jet all the way..."

"where am I going...you'll get by you always have before..."

Too long, I miss blogging, msn, school, and everything...it seems weird to be back to a "high school" like state, where I see my close friends (ie...friends from forever ago (not in a bad way)) all the time, and we are all the exact same as when we left. This I find sooo very comforting in that I can do whatever I want in life and all my friends will still accept me with open arms...fuck I love them.

I decided to throw in this post as just a little update/transition from my last couple entries into the ones that will discuss drunken debauchery... let's just say I am loving my crappy job (hopefully another one is in the works) and I am loving be at home with the family, as I am realizing that this will probably be my last span of time at home with them...here come the tears...

lol!
I will post drunken stories after this one :)

defying gravity...that is more like it :) 

I went to see Evita on Saturday night, and it was actually not too bad. I had heard mixed reviews, but I did go in expecting something different than the Madonna and Antonio Banderas versions I have seen... Different indeed it was, but still very good, the lead girl could use some work as she sounded a little weak when she tried to "powerhouse" the songs, but overall I would say it wasn't that bad...but it was no Wicked...lol 

the realization that you are back in a small town...

Being back in Ingersoll (post first year) has really given me the opportunity to open my eyes and realize what "small towns" are really like...

I have been here two weeks, and I have seen so many friends from high school who have given up on life, ran into a guy from my highschool who got beat up and mugged because he was gay (in ingersoll), and seen all the reasons why I wanted to leave this town so badly ( nothing to do ).

I hope this town is actually doing me some good, as right now I hate it and canot wait to be back in a bigger city. In ingersoll, everyone stands out, and I pity everyone who has to suffer for this... Everyone knows everything, or at least assumes the worst...

That is my vent about hating the town in which I live, but I don't really have to stay here all the time (which is my mission in life...lol)

This is all for now, pretty random and boring, but it was on my mind all weekend.

classic photo...now that I know how, I have to publish some...lol 

Stacey, Rob and Tori 

or is it your memory which I can not trace...

A state the can't be described is where I am at right now... I went for a tatoo consultation the other day and have come to the decision on what tatoo I am going to get (I will post a photo when available). Tori and I wanted something for Anne Marie, but it seemed so hard to come to the conclusion on what...but we think now that we have picked the best design for ourselves and her.

I have been thinking about her a lot lately, it is weird being in the small town and thinking about how she used to be just a phone call away. I have yet to talk to her widowed fiancee as I am nervous about how the conversation will go, but I know I am going to bite the bullet soon and do it... oh well, I guess this is the process ( and it has been two months since she passed away...weird to think it is real...)

Anyways, apparently all my friends like to talk about is relationships...which I do not mind listening to, or giving advice to, but it does put a damper on how I feel about the fact that I am not in one..."do single people really have no valid comments towards others relationships?" ( a sex and the city thought to make me smile :) )... but I am over it, I guess live and let live... but I am looking just to go out, hang out, and just talk with someone, as the bar scene is nice for meeting, but too damn expensive for a weekly hang out...

Also, I am now needing glasses...yes, for those of you who I have mocked about your four eyed loserness I apologize, as I am now one of you. The lady at the glasses store thought I was crying but the eye doctor had gone crazy with the eye drops and I looked like a sob story. but I am over it, I picked jazzy glasses and I am going to suck it up...

That is all for my venting today, I wish I knew how to use the fucking picture thing so I could post various photos, but I do not know how to use it... so any teachers?

A weekend of celebrations...

After an intense weekend of celebrations, I am finally back to normal with my poor, mistreated body. It all started out friday night when Tori got a killer summer job, so we decided to celebrate with all my friends friday night (and after a little too much rum, I realize Tori and I might have over celebrated )... but it was all for a good cause.

Saturday morning was rough, but I knew saturday night would be another crazy night with Mel and the celebration of Alex's 22 birthday! After a lot of drinks (once again...) and a round of spin the bottle (@ Jack's) it was a fun night. I passed out before endulging in Mel's nacho's (which I still regret missing) as it was quite the controversy as mel has no cheese...
her phone call to the roomate:
"Can I use your cheese" (keeping in mind we were wasted and it was like 2AM!)

But now I am back on the diet...ugh...and am ready to give'r for the rest of the summer. Goodbye freshman 5 (i lucked out), and hello toned body (who am I kidding, I will all done dieting again by friday).

--Rob

How ironic...

What are the odds that when I make a post about posting too much I end up waiting ten days to do it again... Well, here is an update for those of you who care:
1) I am at home, still working at the beer store in london
2) I am also working at the shoppers drug mart on occasion (for the discount...sorry, but its true)
3) I would love to have a job that gave me the chance to not have to work at all or any other jobs but this has not yet happened :(

Anyways, I have been busy catching up with friends (which has been a blast), it is nice to come back to a small town, have random people ask you about school, and stuff like that...the things I hate to love...

I have been watching a lot of t.v. and this has really changed some of my perceptions...ie... Paris Hilton is a moron (she somewhat redeemed herself on Ellen, but otherwise...moron), Oprah is getting pretty cocky (I know she has a ton of cash and can do whatever she wants, but still, sometimes it comes off as arrogant...too arrogant), and finally, American Idol scandal! I eat that shit for breakfast! I am loving having my television back in my life...lol...sad, but true!

I do want to see CRASH really bad, along with House of Wax (I know, hypocritical), and Amytiville Horror... but I will post as I see these movies, as right now I am stuck with the ones I have... I have seen Fight Club three times since I have been home (and my guilty pleasures the same amount (confession: The Sweetest Thing, and A Chorus Line) fucking addictive!

I need Anchorman and Meangirls to make my life a complete Joke!

Out like the fat kid in dodgeball!
