I've considered Netflix, but I'm not much of a movie person. There are very few movies that i can honestly say I really liked.
Things are OK here. I have to go get a MRI soon, before I can see the doctor. Which means I have to sign up for patient assistance to cover the cost of the procedure. My back is really farked up. I miss being able to go shopping without being in pain within 5 minutes of standing.

I'd kill for some of my Mom's sweet potato casserole right now. That stuff is sooo good... I'll eat the entire pan of it. >.> Forget the rest of the Thanksgiving foods... except turkey and cranberry sauce.

Dude, its your birthday, mofo! Have a good one. Yes it was Thanksgiving here in Norfy land yesterday. Mom and I spent the long weekend in Banff National park. The mountains there are freakin amazing! We didn't have a Thanksgiving dinner but given what we did all weekend it wasn't really needed. After working my ass off as much as I have been its nice to enjoy a long weekend out. It was fun. ;D I love movies so Netflix was a good idea for me. I'm not too into the usual Hollywood bull crap though that stars your generic actors like Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. Those guys are on the covers of every magazine and cereal box out there. Its hard to see them as anything other than what you see all over the media. I am finding I am loving a lot of independent and foreign films. They have so much more heart and soul to them and aren't riddled with Hollywood cliches.

My mother is an idjit. She made the mistake of letting an old family friend move in with her and her boyfriend... guy is eating them out of house and home, and sleeping all day. And apparently, she can't get rid of him. She's such a sap. :/

When the hell did I post that? I really should be allowed near the Internet when I'm drunk...
In other news I moved to the day team. Omg it's so boring now. I can't believe I get paid $16.02 an hour to sit on my ass and play on my phone. Seriously days are so boring compared to nights. I should have done this sooner.

Its a good thing you are getting payed that additional two cents. Its tough trying to get by. ;D
My job is going fine. This company is really booming right now. Its making a crap ton of money. This is a company I am going to want to stick with for a long time. But with all the business we are getting its been busy as fuck. We are always on the move, we always have something to do. Hell we have something to do when we are already doing something. I don't let it stress me out though. Even though its paying the bills I tell myself each and every day that the job, and the company itself, DON'T matter to me on a personal level. Its all irrelevant to my life. What DOES matter is my life. Going to the gym everyday and working out, traveling when I can, spending time with a few friends and having a few beers and playing video games. Just doing the things that make life enjoyable. That is what matters to me. If I'm not doing those things, then I can stress out. So as long as I can keep that philosophy going, I'll do just fine.

Glad life is going so well for you, Norfykins. That makes me happy. I miss playing MMOs with ya though. Things are so-so here. I'm happy, but Granny hasn't been well recently. She's having a lot of bladder/stomach issues that are making her ill. Her bladder condition is incurable, but treatable. Her stomach is due to Plavix, and I really dunno what to do about that. She needs to see if she can get a different medicine. I'm pretty happy here though, so I'm doing alright. I made a new pink colored theme for the boards as well, if anyone is interested. I love pink.

A new favorite album for me. Animals by Pink Floyd. Freakin amazing music! Its only five songs but each song runs from 10-15 minutes each. Very in depth instrumentals. I've always been aware of Pink Floyd but never really listened to a lot of their stuff until recently. And this album really has me listening a lot.

My job had a BBQ today and they gave away free pumpkins. I took one. Most people carve their pumpkins but I'm going to eat mine. Don't know exactly what I'm gonna do with it but this company gave me dinner for a few days. ;D
With Halloween coming you guys will once again hear me moan about all the crap Canada does with the day. Each and every year Halloween gets dumbed down and censored more and more cause it offends and scares people of other religions. Now teachers in school are saying that costumes are too scary for kids so they can't dress up as anything remotely scary. No Draculas, no Frankenstein monsters, no mummies, no white-sheet ghosts. Instead kids are encouraged to dress up as productive members of society. Policemen, Firefighters, Doctors etc. Do you see what is happening to this country? We are allowing other cultures and peoples to censor OUR culture. Is this fucking nation turning communist or something? I can't stand all the damn censorship. Its not just Halloween, its Christmas too. I'm not Christian or anything but Christmas has been part of my family tradition since I was born, don't fuck with my Christmas! You know everyone is so into not offending people of other cultures that they didn't stop to think of people like me, who have lived here our entire lives. *I* am offended by my culture being censored. It deeply offends me!
We shall continue this debate next year at about the same time.
