Address Anomalies

This problem I am having with Canada Post is beginning to become really annoying.
What problem? Wait a minute I'm sure I've complained about the mail problems before.

basically I comes down to this, As far as Canada Post is concerned my address doesn't exist. That's right, They'll still put the mail in my mail box right beside the street number, but in their Directory the address is not there. " There is no address..." And it beginning to annoy me.

What this means is that I don't get all my mail, all the time. Example: Bell when I called them to change my address, I change it for The house phone and was asked if I had anything else with Bell that the address needed to be changed for, I told them that My cell needed to be changed too. So they said no problem and did so. Well there is a problem. The house phone bills show about half the time with the right address, the Cell phone bill all end up upstairs. And no it's not that they all have the wrong address sometimes the guy delivering it notices that the name is the same and puts it in my box.

I've checked. They actual address on the bill half the time forgets the letter on my bill. I'm just surprised that if I switched them at the same time why one got it write and one didn't. I mean I used to the fact that the government departments never talk to each other. It's no real surprise.
It's the government.

I still wondering how I'm supposed to fix this.

SO I 've traded in the gift certificates I got for the holiday's. With them I picked up:

MechWarrior Dark Age: Flight of the Falcon and Blood of the Isle.
Even with the gift certificates I refuse to pay $20 for a paper back So I didn't pick up the one I wanted, that I have yet to read in the middle of the series.

Black Sun Rising, A book I've read before a long time ago but damn It's a good trilogy. Worth a second read.

After that I think I still got a buck and change left on one of the cards. For another time.

I picked up Headbanger Hall Vol.2 and Nightwish Once from HMV, Though it went over what was on the card. Still, Considering the price of CD's these days Three (headbanger was a 2 cd compilation) for 30 bucks is acceptable.

Not too bad

This holiday season has gone pretty well.

And this is about right for every time I got to deal with my parents.

NEVERMORE
Dead Heart In A Dead World

To see the last survivor fall
To see their bastards sons against the wall
To see the emptiness as we decay
I see the world is dead,I am betrayed

Dead heart in a dead world
Dead heart in a dead world

This rotten hole that I call home bled dry again
This lesion marked upon my soul
Left an empty hanging man

Across the fields,into the sea
To find the light from within
Out of this lake I've tried to crawl
I think I'm there and then again I fall
Again I fall

Burn your gods and kill the king
Subjugate your suffering
Dead heart,in a dead world

We must remember wounds so deep
take time to heal
and sometimes though we struggle still
life seems surreal

Emotions turned to cold dead wood
Can still have life once more
The door that slammed upon your heart
Torn away,torn away

Burn your gods and kill the king
Subjugate your suffering
Dead heart,in a dead world
Burn your gods and kill the king
Subjugate your suffering
Dead heart,in a dead world
Dead heart,in a dead world

too familar

Gotta love mornings

And so it begins....
I wonder if this is a sign of the apocalypse?

I'm goign to start putting this here every friday since you can't comment over there, now you can here.

Why

Most people hate that question.

It's a question I have been asked and I like to ask myself on a regular basis. It's a good question to ask one's self. Often the results are surprising, if you actually sit down and spend more than a minute thinking about the question.

Lately it has been: Why do I write?

It depends on what it is that I am writings. But for now we will take out the school work, as that is easy. I have to. The journals that I write can also be taken out, I write them to vent and to keep a record of what goes on. So the question is Why to I write, The fiction and poetry? All that stuff that I write That isn't recuired and has nothign to do with 'reality'. All those pages that for the most part no one else ever sees.

It's not a question I can come up wit a simple answer to. Sometime I have too. The idea, usualy a poem, comes and demands to be put to paper IMIDIATLY, and it does not care what else i may have to do at the time. However I am not about to claim that everything I write is like that because it isn't, but it does happen from time to time. The closest I can come to an awnser is:
I write for my self.

Not sure how to explain it more than that. It's therapy, fo rall the crap I been through. I think GnR gets it pretty close.

Guns N' Roses - 14 Years

I try and feel the sunshine
You bring the rain
You try and hold me down
With your complaints
You cry and moan and complain
You whine an tear
Up to my neck in sorrow
The touch you bring
You just don't step inside to 14 years
So hard to keep my own head... that's what I say
You know...I've been the beggar...
I've played the thief
I was the dog...they all tried to beat


But it's been
14 years of silence
It's been
14 years of pain
It's been
14 years that are gone forever
And I'll never have again


Your stupid girlfriends tell you
That I'm to blame
Well they're all used-up has-beens
Out of the game
This time I'll have the last word
You hear what I say
I tried to see it your way
It won't work today
You just don't step inside to 14 years
So hard to keep my own head...that's what I say
You know...I've been the dealer...
Hangin' on your street
I was the dog...they all tried to beat


But it's been
14 years of silence
It's been
14 years of pain
It's been
14 years that are gone forever
And I'll never have again


Bullshit and contemplation
Gossip's their trade
If they knew half the real truth
What would they say
Well I'm past the point of concern
It's time to play
These last 4 years of madness
Sure put me straight
Don't get back 14 years
In just one day
So hard to keep my own head
Just go away
You know...just like a hooker she said
Nothin's for free
Oh I tried to see it your way
I tried to see it your way

Not my fault

Well This is not my fault. I going to have to scrap the world domination plans. Too many changes, by the time I try to work them into the existing plan, it will be way to late.

Oh well, got a new plan.

It's not my fault though. I blame TLM. Yes there I good idea, she has ruined my plans for world domination. Actually while I'm at it I'll blame the Owl that introduced us in the first place. I have problem resisting a challenge, Damn it. I should perhaps make this clear, I don't mind the reason for the change, I like the challenge they represent, tough as always I won't be standing on any roof tops or soap boxes announcing it. It's just It was a good plan I had, a good no longer usable plan. Sigh.

Oh, well. I'll make the new plan even better. I like the challenge.

hmmm

I may have just changed my mind on the next thing I do to myself.

Well every once in a while I get bored and nostalgic. While the current version of inter computer not passing is fine and definitely more colorful. I still miss things like LORD, or Castles and Canapalts. Those old ANSI or word based games that involved so many people back in the "old days" when you actualy worried about the size of what you were looking at.

So I re-joined Neo-pets. One of these on-line RPG type games. While not quite the same thing, it's as close as I'm likely to get. Of course, once you start something like this it kinda drags you in. I had to start a new pet though as my old account from when some school-friends dragged me into it no longer worked.

Well, as it happens while I was doing my share for their current plot line, TLM asked me what I was doing. And I told her. Of course I also passed on the link.

My mistake.

What do I get when I log into MSN this morning?


Hey!
My neopet has a house!
....
Oh, and I hate you, you vile thing.
For getting me into this in the first place.

And before you bring it up, no this wasn't part of my world domination plans.
But now that it's happened, you'll have to excuse my while I go and work it in....

Well after getting my third QM test back I have decided that I no longer like the last letter in the alphabet. That damn letter cost me 30 freaking percent.
Oh well, not likely to forget it now.
But still, I no longer like the letter, It should be banned.
I mean it not like we use it much through out the course of a day.
Unless your doing algebra, And honestly who wants to do algebra anyway?
I figure we can all live with 23 letters.

As these words are written, SpaceShipOne’s backers have given notice of their intent to go for the prize, with the first of the two required spaceflights to be attempted on September 29. If all goes well, in early October of this year, the prize will have been won, and private astronauts will have flown into space on a privately-built reusable spacecraft twice within two weeks. But the important thing is not that there will be a winner, but that there will also be runners-up and other competitors with their own plans. The vehicle that wins the X-Prize may not be the vehicle that taps the potential new space markets. The Wright brothers, after all, were the first to master controlled flight, but they weren’t the ones to benefit the most financially from it.

I declare today Thursday, The last day of November....

Well yes I know it's not actually Thursday, but than I have never been the greatest when it comes to consistency.

This has been a really bad week. But than what does one expect for the end of November.

I had the Third exam in my QM course this week. That didn't go anywhere near as well as the first two. Well it still went alright I guess. I had a lot less time to study for this one. I figure I passed but I didn't get over 70%. I went completely blank on all the confidante interval and Statistical significance stuff which was worth 30 point out of hundred. Fortunately the rest was fairly easy and I had done most of it before.

As of today I am now un-employed. This was not really unexpected, I knew this going in. There was some talk of keeping me on full time a while ago but the people in charged prefer to have people there seasonally three years before becoming full time, or so a co-worker said and it seems to be true. It's just that right before the holidays Is not really the best time to be looking for work, (And to make a connection with QM, The unemployment rate is usually ajusted to account for the spike every January.) I can go back in march and reaply to work through Next year again, but I would rather not be on UI until than. On the plus side, at least this means I got lots of time to work on stuff like homework, Writing projects and the appartment. I'll get back to this later.

We also discovered this week that the problem with the shower is Bigger than we thought. It is actually going to need a plumber to com in and ripe out it's guts to change the whole worn out thing. This means I got to convince the land lord to get one to come in and call the guy upstairs to give the plumber access to the garage. And while on the apartment, still no word on the window.

On the other School front: The class I was teaching is over, as we lost few people including a teacher.

Yep It's still November alright. Hopefully now that it's over things will settle down some......
