Bikini Booty Camp!

Okay, so it’s quite obvious that I’m not interested in a bikini booty camp, I really have no interest in stuffing my manhood and hairy thighs into a thong. Pam however is quite interested.

She isn’t doing it so much for the bikini booty as the wedding booty, she wants to get into shape for our wedding this August. Anyone coming might want to get into shape at the ceremony is being held in a location in the Rocky Mountains that you have to hike to. Too bad they don't have a flabby writer boot camp.

Anyway, it’s a great deal because your get a free workout book and it’s being held at 13 outdoor locations all over Ontario.

It’s all a part of the Toronto boot camp, but since there are multiple locations you can attend one close to you. There’s a Burlington boot camp, a Mississauga boot camp, and more. Check the website for locations.

The benefits aren’t all just for her though. She’s done one course already and last night we also signed up for a kickboxing class together at the local fitness centre and did our first class, so I guess my flabby butt might be in better shape soon too.

The yin and the yang is ever present

Okay, I'm not going to pisss and moan, but here's what's been happening.

In the last few weeks I've had my identity stolen, my computer got fried, and because of these things I missed a number of communications, interviews and payments necessary for my business, just one of them being my eBay account was suspended.

However...

The computer is fixed now, everything is working right except one of my printers. I believe it has a pen jammed in it. Don't ask.

My identity is now secure again and all my money was returned.

In the process Pam and I were able to mutually make arrangements to get all our old outstanding debts paid off before we get married, which is awesome, we haven't finished paying them all off, but we will.

Plus, some exciting new business prospects and plans are begining to gel and may in fact bring more and more success in the future.

I even don't hate my new job.

So all in all, although it was hell we are actually coing out of it on the other side further ahead than when we went into this whole mess.

Now All I have to do is find a way to tell my new job that I want about 15 days off in the month of August...

What the frig!?

Maybe I'm the last person to know about this, but I was reading this article the other day about a man in Maryland who went driving drunk late at night (Dec. 30th 2007) , plowed into a family van and wiped them all out except one (6 or 7 victims I think) with no injury to himself and he's pleading innocent.

It's a really sad and horrible story. I feel horrible for that family and all the kids that were killed.

The guy's name? Michael Gagnon!

No it's not me, we just have the same name, I live in Canada, not Maryland.

Holy jeezus, I didn't even do anything and I feel ashamed. I'm afraid I'll get hate mail.

Well I'm used to that, but still...sometimes I think my daily life is a big hate mail message from God.
