Well then- long time no talk
And perfect timing for Paras to discuss wanting people there, because i want you there.
I am having some work people out and some barn friends to my lake on friday evening and i would like to invite all of you as well.
I have friday off and will be heading out in the morning- so if you don't work in the afternoon, feel free to come out or in the evening.
If you need directions - e-mail me before thursday night at silversun24@hotmail.com
if you need to call me friday my cell is 977 0413 or at the lake 963 3076

Gah, where's Beck and Andy when you want to talk Doctor Who?? My god, the crazy first part of the finale!
I guess Al's at the movie now, but I couldn't have made it. I don't really want to go into excuses or any of that, but I might make a... uh... constructive criticism or two.
I can't speak to all ways of going about the planning of events like this, but the approach that got me the best success in gauging attendance was to call people and invite them out, especially with the short time window you had for the movie.
The other thing is just kind of a pet peeve: I'm not sure I understand the purpose of this:
I don't really expect anyone thereIf you want people to come, shouldn't you want them to come? I don't get how the self-sabotage helps matters, except to make people feel guilty for not coming. (Unless, of course, that's the point, but that's a whole other discussion.)

Well tonight I plan to see Nacho Libre.
Don't know how many of you saw it already, so I don't really expect anyone there.
Where: South Edmonton Common
When: 7:10 PM Show
Why: To see me wear a Ultimo Dragon mask? But I guess only the people in the theater will see that.

Okay I'm going down to Kinsmen pretty soon. I should be down there at around 10. So if any of you are still around, which I suspect is no one since I wasn't contacted in anyway... whats the point, I'm only documenting where I'm going to go just in case I die the authorities will have a good idea where to look for my body. I've told my parents to read this board if I don't return home at a certain time.

Whoops! I can't believe no one has posted this already.
Happy Canada Day!
A liitle story if you will...
28 years ago my dad came over with his brother and settled in a small town called Biggar in Saskatchewan. He started in the basement of someones house with no heating in a space a little bigger then my bedroom. He only had $400 in his pocket and a small suitcase full of summer clothes. No winter clothes. It was a tough start. Now after all these years my dad owns his own buisness and lives in a large house. He also has a ungrateful, spoiled son who has too much money and time, and apparently he doesn't know what to do with it. To say the least my dad is very grateful that the country of Canada took him in and made him a citizen. He doesn't regret it one bit that he moved here. He is also grateful that this country gave his children more opprutunity then he originally had. I think this is a little something to think about today.

Apparently most of the people here are too partied out to do anything on saturday. I just said 10:30 PM so they could feel that if they couldn't make it by a certain time they wouldn't feel guilty for not showing. Not trying to make them feel guilty right now or anything, I know most people have lives. Like I stated before I'll be staring up at the sky alone.

Albert, all I'm going to say is that 10:30 is way too late to meet up with people and decide on a destination... if you want anything more than just to stand in a crowd and stare at the fireworks as they come up. I'm meeting my lab friends at 8 so we can get a good spot and play some frisbee before the show really starts. We're probably heading down to the Kinsmen area to see the waterfall and fireworks. Maybe I'll see y'all down there.

Huh.. I guess thats why world militaries are looking at octopus skin cells and such. Nature sure is ahead of anything we can currently do. But when we catch up you better watch out.
