Dee now knows.

          For once I awoke to my Alarm clock this morning. Just like I used to when I was working. **sniff!**
    Anyway, that was because I actually had things to do today.  The 1st thing I found out was that I had tragically overestimated my serverance pay from the company. I thought, since I had 4 weeks vacation left for the calendar year, I would get them paid out in full, as part of my severance.  Turns out, I only got something like $40.00, based on 2 days. How the fck does THAT work?  Bottom line is, I'm gonna be SCREWED if E.I. doesn't come through by April 1. I only got $1040.00 severence & rent is gonna cost me $720.00 for March, so I'm gonna have like ZERO play money, between then & now.  That means NO Pizza, NO KFC, NO eating out PERIOD!  FCK, life's gonna suck this next little while.  Sht, I may have to get a job again.
     So, I spent the morning with Dee & Helena & I should have known Dee would get jealous.  He got irritable whenever Helena or I weren't paying our full & undivided attention to him. At times, he acted like a spoiled little brat.  It's funny, as people age, especially in their senior years, they seem to revert back to some childhood behaviors.  I can see what they mean, when they say some people go through a 2nd childhood. We aslo put in a visit to Muter. A nice, short pain-free 15 min. stop-by & of course, even during that limited time, she tried to get us to go out & pick up something up for her. How about just a simple: "Hello. How nice of you take the time to come & see me."? I always hate going to visit her there. The hallways always smell like pee.
     Helena was kind enough to give me a lift to Phibbs, where I caught the bus downtown & wouldn't you know it?  The transfer point for my next bus was right outside my old office. Talk about painful & still fresh memories.  Not to mention, the awjwardness of keeping a sharp lookout for any of my former co-workers, whom I might have to duck, to avoid that awkwardness.
     So, I went to see the Shrink on Dunbar & suddenly, around 3 pm, the sun came out. It was beautiful. Like a reprieve from all the gloom. I really did feel uplifted once that sun broke through.  As for my visit with the Doc. Dissapointment (Isn't that my middle name?) He's not gonna go for the Long Term Disability thing.  Most he'll give me is 6 months. Lessee...I've been fired, or let go from 5 jobs in the last 2 & a half years. If that isn't proof I can't hold a job, then what is?  Maybe I should get a job at McPukes, then pull down my pants & take a poop on the burgers, as they're frying up. If THAT wouldn't make me unemployable, it would at least make their hamburgers taste better.
     So, I'm home now, feeling like I at least got something done today. And that at least is better than nothing.

 Paul McCart - Sorry, SIR Paul McCartney was right. It really IS just another day. Especially when your unemployed.  Can't say much happened today. I mean, here it is 4:30 Friday, I've just woken up from a 4-Jumbo Hotdog-induced nap. At least I managed to do some Grocery shopping today. I'm convinced the Sun is broken. Each time it peaks out & looks like it might just stick around, it vanishes behind a seemingly permanant Vancouver Grey sky.
    I'm making good progress with my Autobiography. When I'm done & if, IF I get it published, it will be the first book in history to be written entirely by text messaging on Cell Phone.  I can just see it now. Sitting beside Oprah, amidst her audience of Emotionally hungry masses, when she says: "That's beautiful Alec. Just beautiful. (With her trademark hand on leg & tearful sniffle) I understand there's something else, quite unique about your book Alec, now isn't there.'
 (Me) "Yes, I guess there is."
 (Orca) "Tell us what that is"
 (Me)"Well, I beleive it's the first book written entirely on a cell phone. (Audience gasps) You see I would write each passage while I was having coffee at the Coffee shop every morning." (Audience applauds)
     Now, back to reality. If nothing else, my book is serving as a tool for me to re-visit my past & cope with it as I recall each situation. It's amazing when you revisit incidents you experienced as a child & analyze them as an Adult, how therapeutic it is. It really is helping.
     So there you have it. Just another day.

[P.C.]

Now, back to reality. If nothing else, my book is serving as a tool for me to re-visit my past & cope with it as I recall each situation. It's amazing when you revisit incidents you experienced as a child & analyze them as an Adult, how therapeutic it is. It really is helping.
   .

  Couldn't agree more.  Journaling is an amazing tool.  For some reason we acknowledge the written word more than we do our own thoughts.....even when the written words ARE our own thoughts.  

[Alec BALD one]

       Being out of a job, means you have alot of extra time on your hands, which - in turn can lead to some creativism. In this spirit, I have come up with a new game I play, whenever walking the streets downtown. It's somewhat like a cross between Keep-Away & Frogger. The object is simple:  To get to wherever you're going, be it a bus stop, resturaunt, or just a general walk around while avoiding the Panhandlers & Rubbies. It may sound stupid at first, but when you actually play, you find yourself bobbing & weaving & sometimes darting out across the street, in & out of traffic. It can actually be dangerous at times. See I've come to terms with the fact that there have always been Panhandlers & there, unfortunately will always BE Panhandlers. Regardless of how much people grumble & moan about it, so I figure since this condition is ineveiable, try to have some fun & in my case, make a game out of it. When life hands you LuLu Lemons, make LuLu Lemonade. (Jeez, I can't believe I just gave those guys a free plug!)
       So, I get a message, from a panicked Dee, saying he's lost his Trazadone & because he can't see, needs me to come by to find it for him.  I'm starting to feel the way I did around 2002, before the dope. Resentful for his being so needy & angry at him. Angry at the situation.  How quickly I forget the many times he's bailed me out with money when I needed it.  How quickly I forget how he "lent" me $20.00 just the other day. You see? it's situational. It's more a reactionary thing, where - when I hear his agitated voice, scolding me for not being able to get a hold of me when he needs to, FCK that just pisses me right off!  & of course, then I feel guilty & angry at MYSELF for being pissed at my own Father. Oh, what a delightfuly vicious cycle of emotions at play.  No wonder I'm so fcked up.
      So, I put in an appearance at Dee's & of course, we found his fcking pills. Christ, I can't WAIT till he moves into that Assisted Living place, as soon as the place is finished. Even Dee agrees.

    Gangway Fat Boy I hear everybody saying to each other. It's supposed to be the annual Chinese New Year greeting.  I'm not sure what it's supposed to mean, other than the surface rudeness it implies.  But, who am I to comment on a cultural stigma?
      I have to admit, it's really a chore to make an entry today, as I just have had ZERO energy today.  This, despite the weather being not all that bad. The sun actually did manage to come out for a bit this afternoon & that's when I went to Blenz & had my coffee & worked some more on my book. The Nux managed another 1 goal victory. This time, at the expenxe of the Avalanche. If they do anything in the playoffs, it will be because of Luongo.
     I'm gonna have to go out tomorrow & get a size 40 pants.  I actually remember when as a teen, I was a size 28. I never thought I'd see the day, I'd be having to get a size 40 pants. Since I lost my job, I have just BALOONED up. I don't even want to guess at what my Cholesterol count.
     So that's it. Another day in the books. YAAAAAAWWWWWWWNnnnnn  

[Alec BALD one]

   [span style=""]    [/span]I managed to work some more on my book this morning.[span style=""]  [/span]I know I won't be able to do this morning routine forever, where I sleep in till I like & go to Blenz, whenever I feel like, so I'm really gonna enjoy this time while I can, because I know full well, I'll have to go back to work soon. But for now, for RIGHT now, I'm gonna enjoy these times.  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]     [/span]Speaking of work, I got more procrastination from my former Employer, saying now they have to get my R.O.E. from their head office in the STATES now. So lessee.. so far, I've had to go through my former Suoervisor, whom referred to T.O. (The center of the Universe) & now, THEY say they have to get it from the states![span style=""]  [/span]It's a @#&@ piece of paper for chrissake![span style=""]  [/span]What is the goddamn holdup???[/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]    [/span]Ok, obviously there's some residual Testosterone lingering from my Tug-o' War with Cyclops, but I maintain, that it is still ridiculous.[span style=""]  [/span]Am I ever glad I already got the ball rolling on my E.I.

     I guess it's inevetable. When you're jobless & you're sitting at home all those days, sooner-or-later you end up watching Jerry Springer.  A show you would NEVER have watched when you were employed, because you didn't have time for that crap.  Suddenly, here you are, watching & for the briefest of moments - forgetting that everything is staged & for one fleeting moment, you find yourself actually PULLING for that Redhead in the catfight on stage.
    How did it come to this?  This is the wake-up call I needed. The absolute proof, that I am in a depression.  It's time to find motivation, somehow, somewhere & pick myself up & get out there again.  When I see images of me, 5 - 10 years down the road, possibly on Longterm Disability, watching Springer, I cringe.  My life is worth more, much more than that. Christ, I can't let that happen. I WON'T let that happen!  I mean today, Springer. Tomorrow, who knows?  I could sink so deep as to being a rabid fan of: Days Of Our Wives. Oh, GOD no!  That's not gonna happen. I've since turned off the T.V., allowing my own thoughts to filter back in. I can see why they call it the Idiot Box, it really sucks all the life right out of you.  Just like the Internet.  Problem is:  I have BOTH at my disposal & between these 2 distractions, it's so EASY to burn off a day. Before you know it, a week's past, a month, a YEAR. I mean, it's already been 20 days, since I lost my job. Nearly a whole month! & it just flew by like a day.  *#@$^ , I've got to put the brakes to this cycle & start a new cycle - FAST! 'cause I don't like where I'm headed.  

[P.C.]

Definitely a wake-up call.....good job on recognizing the dreaded Springer syndrome. Ughhh.  You're right.....you DON'T want to go there.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/frech/c025.gif" border=0]

 I've always known that I was a morning person & I've never questioned it. It's just the way I am.[span style=""]  [/span]What I DO question however, is why I seem to just close down after noon.[span style=""]  [/span]  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]    [/span]Witness today. I was able to get up at a reasonable hour & get to Blenz just after 8:10 A.M.[span style=""]  [/span]It's just so damn HARD to motivate yourself, when you have no deadline. Oh, & here's the kicker – I have plenty of cash in my pocket from my severance pay, but I'm SO afraid of blowing it before my E.I. kicks in, that I have been extremely Miserly.[span style=""]  [/span]I know this is wise, but I'm SO thrifty, I'm lucky if I'm spending like $20.00 a week on everything. So the irony, of course is; YES, I have plenty of money in my pocket, with all kinds of time & opportunity to spend it, but – as I said I'm so afraid of blowing it all before E.I. kicks in, that I can't enjoy any of it. I know I'll be thankful I DID hold on to it, in the long term, but you'd think I'd cut myself a LITTLE slack at least! Maybe, order a Pizza – or – have a nice dinner out. You see, with me I'm an all-or-nothing person & I can very easily see myself saying &^@#% it, & ordering a pizza one night, promising myself this will be a one time only thing, but then I'll start making more & more allowances, then the dam will burst & before I know it, I'll be broke.[span style=""]  [/span][/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]   [/span]No, this is the correct course. I may be depressed & sitting at home all day, but I'm saving money that way. I just have to practice self control. So far, I'm doing it & the reward will be when I make it to my 1^st E.I. payout.[span style=""]  [/span]Who knows?[span style=""]  [/span]Maybe even have a little extra to spend by then. If it's a trade-off, I'd much rather walk around the streets knowing I HAVE money, as opposed to all those times I've wondered around broke, WISHING I had money.[/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]    [/span]Two things a man's ego seem to be attached to, are his hair – inapplicable in my case & his wallet & having as little ego as I do, I sure depend on the money.[/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]    [/span]As I said, I did make something of the morning & after my morning Blenz coffee, I went down to [st1:place w:st="on"][st1:placename w:st="on"]Sinclair[/st1:placename] [st1:placename w:st="on"]Center[/st1:placename][/st1:place] & got the extra forms for my CPP Longterm. In light of the Province opening up the purse strings yesterday, now seems a good time to try to reap some of those benefits.[/p]

Captain's log: Supplemental.[span style=""]  [/span]I have just finished watching the movie Castaway for the 2^nd time.[span style=""]  [/span]The 1^sttime I saw it, was around 2000 & I don't remember being as moved back then & inspired as I am now. The only thing stopping my from crying is the dope.  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]    [/span]It truly is a beautifully written movie & it's got me thinking a lot about my own life & where I am right now. Here's a movie, a message I take it as – about a guy, whom loses everything & finds his own source of inspiration to carry on & survive. I know it's only a movie, but to me, THAT'S what MOVIE means. A show that MOVES you & I was moved.[/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]   [/span]It really helps put in perspective my current situation. I spend so much time feeling sorry for myself & wishing I had things & lamenting that, which I have lost, but here is a story about a guy who loses MORE, including his wife – whom not only has the strength & the courage to come back – not only that, but is strong enough to let his wife go, because he HAD to, the way she had to when she thought he was dead. Here is a true message of triumph of spirit![span style=""]  [/span]How DO you let someone go, who was your whole life.[span style=""]  [/span]I think that may be part of the reason I never got into a serious relationship, because I don't know if I am that strong. [/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]   [/span]Again, acknowledging that it was only a movie, if it's enough to at least get you thinking, let alone re-evaluating your whole life, then it must count for something, right?[/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]   [/span]I draw the greatest inspiration from the blatantly symbolic last scene, where he literally is standing at the crossroads & you are given the impression that the options are HIS & that HE is in control of his own destiny & the sense of optimism in that knowledge. That he has a brand new life path before him & because of what he's come through, he's not afraid of what lies before him.[/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"]Sound familiar Alec? (Looks in mirror)[/p]    

[Alec BALD one]

 Ugh! I've done so much writing these last few days, that it's actually becoming a chore.  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]  [/span]Ok, lessee...where to start...Well, of course I worked some more on my Autobiography this morning at Blenz. #@$^%, this is hard![span style=""]  [/span]I'm actually disappointed with this entry already.[/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"]Talk about writers block![/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"]Ok, I'm just gonna have to sum up the day's evens then – sans my witty insights, cause frankly, I just don't feel up to it right now. [/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]   [/span]Ok, I went to visit Mother at Evergreen & shared what I had written so far & she seemed to like it. This is encouraging.[/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]   [/span]I also met a couple of 50 yr old women, one of which, I flirted a bit with & I wouldn't mind boffing, if just for the experience. I bet she'd appreciate a younger guy.[/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]    [/span]Went to the doc & was disappointed when he wouldn't sign my Longterm Disability form. I'm a &@$! Retard Doc![span style=""]  [/span]How the HELL do you think I'm employable?[span style=""]  [/span]He DID sign the Shortterm, which at least buys me a little time.[span style=""]  [/span][/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]    [/span]So, maybe that's why I'm so tired tonight.[span style=""]  [/span]I actually got off my ever expanding ass & did something today.[/p]    

[Alec BALD one]

 Gonna take a different tack here. Gonna try making my entries at the beginning of the day, when I seem to be at my most insightful.  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]    [/span]As I was walking to Blenz, in my usual half awake state, I heard a girl from behind me say: "Sup?" Recognizing the youthspeak & quickly translating it in my head as: "What's up?" I quickly looked behind me to see whom she was talking to. I couldn't see anybody else in the immediate vicinity, but my damaged ego, as always prevented me from believing it was directed toward me. I quickly darted into Blenz, & she walked on by, where I could get a good look at her. She looked to be anywhere from about 18 – to maybe 20. I also noticed she was carrying a purse. CONCLUSION:[span style=""]  [/span]she was either a Crackhead, or Ho.[span style=""]  [/span]When did the stigma of a middle class girl carrying a purse turn into them being Ho's? Am I that far out of the loop, or is it more-or-less accurate today?[/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]    [/span]Anyway, as I pondered the awkward interaction, I never answered her address. Speaking of which, I have noticed a gradual degeneration of the English language amongst the youth of today.[span style=""]  [/span]In more enlightened times, when one wished to address a stranger, they would say such things like: "Pardon me sir..." –or- "Excuse me but..."[/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]   [/span]But these kids seem to be gradually regressing to the Paleozoic era, where the Cavemen communicated by grunts.[/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]   [/span]Think about for a moment. How far is: "Sup?" from: "Ugh."[span style=""]  [/span]See what I mean?[/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"]It's signs like these that discourage my confidence in the evolution of man.[/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]    [/span]Although I desperately wished she was hitting on me, my logic quickly substitutes alternate scenarios like: She was talking to someone else, you just couldn't see them. / She WAS talking to you, but she was only interested in bumming a smoke, or money. / She was a Ho & you can't afford it.[span style=""]  [/span]You see? Anything to protect my ego.[/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]     [/span]Geez, that's a lot of thinking for 10:00 A,M, I think this MIGHT be the best time to do these, as I seem to be on a bit of a roll here.[/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]    [/span]Is it me, or are there absolute BABES in the [st1:city w:st="on"][st1:place w:st="on"]Davie[/st1:place][/st1:city] district?[span style=""]  [/span]I mean, I found it hard concentrating on my book, as I found myself constantly looking out the window & evaluating the various women I'd love to bang. I mean, if any percentage of the girls I see are single, but I wasn't so dam ^&@#$! up, I would be having a field day.[span style=""]  [/span]Oh, how I would love to be a player & have a different girl for every day of the week! And the real tragedy too, is now that I've cut back on the dope, I could keep up with them all too![span style=""]  [/span]Seriously.[span style=""]  [/span]Ok, I'm getting frustrated just thinking about this self-imposed barrier, so time to change the subject[/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"][span style=""]    [/span]So, no doubt, I do feel my sharpest in the morning, so I think from now on, I'll make these entries then.[/p]  

[Alec BALD one]

      [p class="MsoNormal"]CHRIST I'm horny lately![span style=""]  [/span]Uh-oh, here comes the Misogyny again. Let's leave that alone. Although, I do seem to be in a negative mind frame today. [/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"]Witness what I was writing to myself as I was eating breakfast at Denny's this morning:[/p]            [p class="MsoNormal"][o:p] [/o:p][span style="color: red;"]Thank god i have this phone to distract me by jotting down my feelings when I'm anxious.

A penalty under the Employment Insurance Act for non-compliance may apply to employers who fail to issue a ROE as required. [o:p][/o:p][/i][/b][/p]  [p class="MsoNormal"][b style=""][i style=""]The information on the ROE determines if a person qualifies for Employment Insurance (EI) benefits, the benefit rate and the duration of his/her claim.

  Captain Janeway in this case. My obsession with women shitting, & mysnginy in general isn't helped much when I sit right outside the Ladies room at the Coffee shop. But when there's simply just no other seats available because everyone & their dog (You can take that litterally in Vancouver) wants to duck-in, out of the cold rain - well, what are you going to do? I can see, or rather SMELL why you women try to be so discreet about crapping, because I gotta tell ya. You REEK! I know, I Know, I can already hear you challenging me to find a person who's crap DOESN'T smell, but seriously, I've never smelled anything so FOUL. I'm so glad I'm not a woman. My shit stinks bad enough. GOD, it's like a WAVE of STINK everytime that door opens. I've always wondered why some women absolutely BATHE themselves in perfume. You know the type. Just catching a whiff of them as they pass on the street, & your eyes water. My guess is they've just taken a huge dump, & are trying to cover the smell.
     Man, I'm really ripping today. Marc Lepine would be proud. Ugh! I gotta bolt. The smell that keeps coming outta there is making me sick.
