Slap! Shock! Summer!

It is April 25, 2007... the day I moved back to the Valley from 2nd year at Uvic. This move was particularily odd for me. As far as the room mates were concerned, it was kind of lacking in goodbyes. Erin has been on her own in her apartment since the 15th, we did not see each other off. Drew was out fixing his bike at the shop. I did manage to give John and Caitlin goodbye hug, well wishes and the usual mention of making plans for the summer. This move was complicated and hard for me compared to other moves in my life.
Going on for just short of four weeks I have been in a relationship with a wonderfull girl named Clare. For the past 18 or so days her and I have been attatched at the hip; only seperating when she works. Since we saw each other off today at 730 in the morning I have felt so naked. I'm always instinctively reaching my hand out, expecting hers to be there to hold. Sleeping alone tonight should prove to be difficult. This valley is cold. Any sleep without her seems cold and lonely.
It won't be until next weekend that I get to see her again. We should be fine with phone calls and msn. But I don't try to hide the fact that I miss being glued to her for 98 percent of the waking and sleeping hours.
I will start working on the bass tomorrow. Hopefully I will get the body and neck blanks laminated at Isfeld shop. If not...no big loss- I have nothing but time.
I've also decided to re-enter the sport of paintball. There is much buzz about my return apparently. Already at the mention of me coming back, I have had 2 team offers. Very interesting indeed.
Well, my eyes are growing weary as I finalize this post, so I will take my leave for the night.
Peace out.

Easter

Well it is Easter weekend, and once again I find myself in the Comox Valley. The weather is its usual- dismal. But this trip has brought a very pleasant surprise. Over the course of the past 2 or 3 weeks I have been designing plans for a 6 string bass which I plan on building from scratch starting effective immediately upon my return home from University. I have gathered all of the wood for it. And I just so happened to find all of the electronics and hardware for it here in the valley from a previous build. Great success. I took Clare out to see 300 the other day, it was great. She is really cool- perhaps we can make something of ourselves. I'll take her to dinner on Sunday when I get back to Vic. Somewhere nice.... I was thinking Hermanns, for the quality of the Martinis...however, that would put a huge dent in my wallet. Oh what a man must do to win what he has his eyes set on...
That is all for now. Peace out.
