Song in my mind ~ Naked - The BoDeans

Still no high speed internet…. So… yikes a lot has happened….

Alex Bay was FABULOUS, prefect weather and view. Paul was performing (old band mate) at Bonnie Castle and I got up and did a few songs with him. Food was excellent. Meet up with the cute locals during the pirate invasion that I haven’t seen in 5 years.. still cute, but having the same problem as me… the years tends to be tough on mid areas haha… It was so fun and relaxing being by the St. Lawrence. I want to live up there some day. Still looking for that perfect island, out of the one thousand up there.

Although on Saturday I got a phone call from a date that I had in May. He’s stranded in Oklahoma and was having a very rough time… so of course I couldn’t say… “Have fun, nice talking to you, bye.”…. I indeed sprung into action and spent $350 to get his butt home. Stupid, I know, but it made me feel good that I was able to do good, however knowing that in the end it was pointless… But how could I say no, I was blessed to be able to go on vacation in one of my favorite places, I can’t say no in that situation. He was just going to use me. But as the “LB” found out, there is a limit, and now I have two people at or passed that limit. Theres that saying… if you loan a friend $20 dollars, and you never see that friend again, it was probably the best $20 you ever spent.

That gets me up to 2 Sundays. That Wednesday the fire dept got called to a MVA (car crash) It was only 200 yards from my house so I unfort was first on scene, and found the victim, and watched him pass. There was nothing I could do, he was trapped and I had no tools.. He was so young (early 20’s) He had his whole life ahead, and because it seems it was related to speed, one mistake, and that’s it…. Seemed so unfair, I had flash backs for a few days, and it reminded me of Jamie, it was tough. But it happens… So the week was looking bad, the whole rescuing the “don’t have a “NICKNAME yet”” and watching that young guy pass and being helpless. But that seemed to have changed.

Last Sunday I went to the company picnic, which I only did because I’m management, and kinda felt I needed to go, not that I’m unsocial, just oh usually in the past I was in A-Bay or working, but this year I went to A-Bay the week earlier so I did. Which I’m glad I did.

First thing I noticed was this couple, and of course… I’m like… great, cute young couple and I’m there alone… But then the shirtless lifeguards distracted me a little, but they all looked like they were babies.. So I just hung out at the picnic area. But then again I saw this couple walk past again well I was talking to a person from work, and she said who the one was, who I kinda met before, but at the time I thought he was like jail bait, so I kept a wide berth. The person from work stated he was in his 20’s (barely I found out later) But 20+ is ok. Haha…. Later I got the nerve to say hello, and we chatted, he told me rather quickly that there was an issue with the partner, and well… (I just requested him to add me on myspace as a friend… SO I need to be careful to what I say…. Haha.) But we’ve been txting ever since. I don’t know how it happened, cause I was sure I would not be his type, But yesterday I asked him out to dinner on Friday and he said yes. So wow.. Did not see this coming from “ A Company Picnic” but its nice just the same. But then again its only dinner. But I have just really enjoyed the txt’s… so thats good enough.

Work has been really busy, I’ve had to be a “manager” in a role twice this week that I would rather not have to be.. But… it happens from time to time. Guess that’s it. I’m on-call next weekend so I’ll update ya later.

Best,
J

Song in my mind ~ Moving right along - The Muppet Movie

Well things have been busy.... fun and work... But lets talk about fun. Atlantic City was fabulous.... the room was sweet... i had a bedroom and sitting room and a mult level bathroom, with a tub that could be a swimming pool. I could have liked to stay down there longer then the 24 hours.. but oh well... That Sunday night I went to the Brass Rail (like I did last year) and Sunday night was, well.. male entertainment night.. hehe... Three really hot guys, and the rest were ok, but the one.. omg... he was blonde ripped about 21, and he started in true turnout gear. (Fireman) It actually had the smell that it was in a real fire, and he had real hose... well he had another real hose... but thats another story... His name is Cory and he really is a true volunteer fireman.. I almost stole him... Since my str8 cutie boi is in college, we need at least one hottie in the dept.. He was really nice as well... and I ended up giving him a back rub.. and it only cost me a few bucks in tips.. oh well.. Hot is hot.. haha...

And I'm going on vacation AGAIN... and thanks to Capital One, I'm going for the whole weekend (this one coming) to Alexandria Bay, for the whole weekend of weekend #1 of Pirates weekend. I have Friday off due to a comp day for being on call.. yep on call... hence a entry.. haha.... but that might change.... I SAW FIBER OPTICS being installed on the hill to my house.... I might be getting my internet addiction back before too long... YES!!!!!! But going up early Friday for the whole weekend, and taking Lidia and a dude from work... (that might be more journal entries in the next couple weeks) Kinda hope not, who knows. But it will be nice... Paul from the old band is playing up there so it will be fun... and don't forget those local hotties dressed up as pirates.

I attended a Potluck (alternative type) in State College this weekend. Meet some nice guys, all taken, and one couple was kinda special... he was 39 and he was 21. Both cute... well the 21yo was hot... so know knows.. they seemed happy, and they have been together for 3 years so something is working... and I was ok.. I wasn't jealous or nothing. Whats meant to be is to be. The "dude" from work would be acceptable, and like that he's 21ish.

So A-Bay next week, Toronto in October... Things are going good... This must be a record with me being positive. haha
