When I call you up so we can shoot the moon...

Ah days off, 15 days in Fox Creek, AB. It certainly makes you appreciate what time you have not at work. Somehow being surrounded by vulgar Neanderthals makes you realize how gifted you are in this life. The experience, skills, intelligence, everything that now defines me sets me apart. I am not meant to be in construction forever. So setting goals and having like minded friends seem to be the most important factor to keeping me on track. To anyone that is stuck in a rut right now, remember that life goes on. Moments and memories are great but they are just that. In order to fully succeed in life you need to discover who you are, although taking time and effort, in the grand scheme of it all you will be a better person. Be thankful for who has come and gone in your life. Take what experiences you have received from these people and if they cause you pain and suffering or depression and disease, move on. Learn from everything, evolve constantly.

Jealousy... what a stupid emotion

Something that one generally tries to avoid. Jealousy... Such a negative emotion that is so difficult to understand. It has really no benefit when you feel it. Yet its such a distinguished feeling, something anyone can describe and occasionally has a side order of heart break served up. Heart break... that feeling that the name surely came from when someone felt that twist or drop in their stomach. When everything turns upside down and sinks to the bottom. But with these emotions you slowly recover and the scar tissue forms. From this point on you begin to feel less and less and yet there is always a way to feel. With emotions dulling they begin to complain that you don't care anymore, and yet they are the reason there is no caring. Never realizing that the soul reason that there are so few of them left is because of them.

When will it come to their attention that because of their actions and reactions they are destroying and making null everything that they say they want. Or do they really want it? Does one really want to be treated perfectly but someone they consider perfect? Or what they perceive as perfect verbally may not be what they subconsciously consider perfect.

Whats with the having to sacrifice

In a struggle to become a rich, successful tycoon in this world it has become apparent that I must sacrifice some things in order to lead on this lifestyle. Why can people not understand that I am living in the middle of nowhere in an attempt to better my life in most aspects. So what am i sacrificing you ask? Well for starters, relationships of every shape, size, color, and form. It appears that it is difficult for a woman to commit to you when you are thousands of miles away. Probably because they don't trust you even though you have no intentions of ever doing anything that would effect them negatively.

Beginning or end of March...

this video makes me think Brazil will be a good time... Planning on visiting the statue o' Christ. Hit up the sugar loaf mountains and perhaps all the famous beaches and whatever else my sister Kristi has in store....

How one gets into Brazil

So I'm not sure if many of you have ever tried to enter the area in this world we call Brazil, but it is not an easy task by any means. I'm sure you are thinking, "but Mitch, can't you just buy a ticket and show up with your passport?"

Unfortunately no, you have to supply several things to apply for a visa which is only active for 60-90 days after receiving it. You must supply a consulate in Vancouver with the following.

1. Your passport, hey no problem
2. A 2x2 professional photo taken on a white background that isn't your passport photo
3. A letter from myself describing why I am going, who I am visiting and who is inviting me into the country.
4. A letter from the person inviting me
5. Proof of Income and Employment... a bank statement, my most recent check stub, and a letter from my employer...


5 very simple tasks for the normal person, but because I work 24 days in a row leaving the house at 6am and arriving home at 630pm, this does not allow much time to get this done...

Warn your warmth to turn away...

Here it's December... everyday.

Some nights when you are at a loss for words and all you want to do is carry on a conversation. But you can't think of the right person that you can call and just sit on the phone with just to have the comfort of that person. The world runs on connections. There are so many different connections in this world, yet the smallest ones can make the biggest differences. If you can find someone that you just connect with over silence it can be amazing.

We held hands on the last night on earth...

Sometimes its quite difficult to fathom that because you are sacrificing your life and where you live to make money that you are actually sacrificing relationships with people that you could be attaining. If I thought somehow luring a girl into my grasps was hard, doing it while being 1000 miles away and working just under 100 hours a week makes it even more intense. If only someone with goals and a future in mind would fall into my life.

Anywho, been cranking out the hours for Techmation. A 14 hour day, some 11's here and there, going for 20-21 days in a row. I am presently exhausted. However I cannot wait to see my Rio. My brother. My mother. Finally have some down time with the boys and get some beers going down.

Of all the things I am most looking forward to, its having a real bed to sleep in. Going for runs with the dog. And just doing nothing.
