Just as I'm getting into the idea of working in the States, I get a call from the Fairmont Algonquin hotel nearby saying they want to interview me for a spa position. I never thought I would be annoyed when things start going right.

I guess I'm ready for my next adventure, but the one I have in mind is going to be the most difficult thing ever. I'm trying to find a way to move from New Brunswick, as a Canadian, to the state of Iowa. I understand this may sound stupid as so many people are trying to get into Canada, and yes I know the Pros and Cons and the expenses and what not, but this place no longer feels like home. It feels like a cage, and finding a job in my field when I've got the same training as everyone else around here is difficult too. My school for Massage was more intensive that some of the most acclaimed massage schools in the states.

I understand I can't just pack up and move and get a job. I've done my research to the point where my head feels like it's going to split, and the fact that every time I go to the border they interrogate me about things like do I have a job in Canada, am I coming into the states to find work, am I going to be returning to Canada soon... Makes me feel like me and my money aren't wanted there.
I've been doing my research on places I could apply looked into Green Cards, work visas, sponsors, and expenses (Green Cards are getting harder to get for actual educated people but damned if they don't want to give them to every immigrant who snuck in the back door without having to go through the paperwork like I'm trying to do).

I guess I just want out really. To work, to be near the girl I love, to go back to Iowa where everyone I met was so friendly, the food so good (Mmm Corn)... Odd that Both times I've been there and flown back, the home sickness kicks in once I'm in my own bed again. I've got my parents blessing, and Kathryns parents love me. ~Sigh~ I just want to go back and not have a time limit on my stay.

So if anyone has been through the immigration to work process before, I would really like some information on such things, told by people who have or are going through with it. It's confusing and lonely doing this research and having nobody to answer questions.

Old story, but I havn't told everyone yet.

A few weeks ago, my brother, my neice, her mother and the baby mamas sister were over. The little sister is only 14 years old, and sheltered by a cop and a teacher for parents. We were all sitting in the livingroom and a commercial for a computer powered vibrating tooth brush comes on and I said "Oh yeah. Like we can't brush our own teeth without needing to have the brush vibrate for us. Who wants to put a vibrator in their mouth!?"

Then it all went down hill for me.

The 14 year old pipes up "I have a vibrator" To which I look at her not sure what exactly she is talking about. I look at Dad and he's covering his face to hide his grin. Then she sais "It's Pink. Wanna see?!" Dad is writing on the chair trying not to burst out laughing, I'm looking around bithing my lip and my chest hurting from trying not to laugh. Steve, my brothers friend who was also in the room looks like his cheeks are about to burst and he sticks his ead around the corner and you can see his back shaking from laughter. Mom and Dana distract her while Dad and I, still holding it in sneak into the kitchen where we just break down into tears or laughter.

It might not sound funny to you, but hearing a 14 year old proclaiming innocently that she has a vibrator, a pink one, and she is willing to show it to me, even though I know it is a tooth brush. It's just funny.

So I was running around Gaia Towns and this little kid comes up to me and asks

gaaraa2: wait
gaaraa2: r u a girl
DarkonStratakus: Don't eat me. I do not taste like sushi
gaaraa2: wanna cyber with some friends
gaaraa2: do u
DarkonStratakus: Concider I have a girlfriend in the real world, no.
gaaraa2: fag

Oh, and for the record, I don't really care if you think any of these movies are going to be crap. This is my list. MINE! ~Clings~

I ordered my Massage Table. It's so pimped out. Heheh

So once again I went to Toronto for an attempt to get on to a cruise ship. This time I was in luck, as one of the interviewers, and owner of the hiring company grew up in my home town, remembers me when I was 7 and once tried to teach my dad some dance moves (He's a very energetic gay man. The interviewer, not my dad) Which was a point for me. It wasn't as crowded in there as last time and I wasn't nervous at all. After the interview, I went for a 45 minute walk to find the CN tower, having nothing but the fact I could see it above all the other buildings. Even following the sight of it it still took me alot longer than I expected.

When I finally found it, I had to wait for 20 minutes before the observaiton deck opened. The option to go to the 360, a revolving resturaunt (http://www.cntower.ca/portal/GetPage.aspx?at=860) was too tempting and since I was already dressed in full a Buisness Suit, I decided to pretend I had as much money as I looked. So I took my bags to the top floor, which probably looked pretty weird, but who cares, for all they know I'm some millionaire playboy. I got a window seat. It was pretty much empty in there and got the menues. I must have had 7 people at least coming to wait on me. One to bring me to my table, one to give me the menues, one to fill my water, one to bring me bread rolls and butter, one to take my order of Escargot and Red Mushrooms in some garlic butter sauce and alfalfa ontop with 3 crackers with a weird veggie spread and 2 strips of crispy bacon... and that was the appitizer and it alone cost me $17, and then for the main course was Atlantic Salmon on 3 potatoes mashed up with horse raddish, a weird variety of steamed veggies under it, and more alfalfa ontop. That was $24. Small portions but still filled me up. Being a non-drinker, I only clanced at the wine menue... and the cheapest single glass of wine was $8.50, and the most expensive glass being $25. It was a different person who brought me the appitizer, a new person took away the empty plate, another person brought me the main course and laid my napkin in my lap for me, then yet another person came to ask if everything was alright. Another person refilled my water, another person brought me my bill. I completly lost track of faces. And it was like someone from every corner of the world worked there because not a single server shared the same racial origins. It was definatly an experience, but I wonder, if fancy dining costs that much, how the hell do rich people stay rich?!
Anyways, I flew home that night, pitch black the whole way so it wasn't much to see so I got a good read out of it. Slept the whole 2h30min ride home and then called in sick. Because the 45 minute walk to the tower caught me a cold.

I find out the results of my interview next Thursday. I probably won't be able to leave for the cruise until sometime in July, but they'll have a spot for me once I'm hired on for whenever in the next 6 months I want to go to the cruise. $400 a day, full staff privs, no taxes, no rent or food charges... Monnnneeeeeeeeey.

Planning for the future is hard. I need a a lot of information that sort of stuff and don't know where to find reliable information or advise. Websites would help actually chatting with me and answering my questions would be even better because I know nothing about how the governments do things with it comes to jobs in different countries.

1) How the hell do I get a Green Card that is good for more than a year?
- Where do I go to apply?
-How much time does something like that take to get processed?
- Is Massage Therapy on that "Select List" of jobs?

2) What kind of stuff is required for an American citizen to work in Canada?
- How is it different from a Canadian trying to get a job in the States?

Please I need help with this. I am completly inept when it comes to this stuff but I need to know. I'm desperate for help.

Things I got:
Wireless Keyboard & Mouse
Brown Leather Wallet
25$ Gift Certificate for Groceries (Which is awsome)
50$ Gift Certificate for Chapters (Glee!)
Total Cash of $400
Electric Razor
Chinese Iron Balls (Roll them around in your hand... Mmmm)
500 mL of Massage Oil
Popcorn (Scott didn't know what else to get me)
Syphilus ... No not really, but it would be funny to tell people that's what I got for Christmas.

For everone from me, I gave Massages, or IOUs because after three deep shoulder jobs, my hands were ready to fall off. Especially the meaty thenar muscles of my hand.

But now the best part of the Christmas season this year, is that I finally get to pick up Kathryn from the Airport. I've known her since I was in grade 7, we've kept in touch despite all the crap we've both gone through in our seperate lives. This will be very interesting. I'll post pics sometime. Possibly not until after the 4th of January though. I'ma gonna be busy veeeery busy.

So I attended a funeral today and decided what, when my funeral comes, I want the following things taken into concideration:

- I'm not religious. If they mention God, they had better damn well mention Thor, Zues, Ala, Buddah, and every other diety so as not to associate me with any particular religion.

- I don't want a $10,000 coffin that will cost my family a fortune just to burry. I want to be cremated, and then put on the spice rack so a bit of me will always be in those who are close to me. Because you are what you eat.

- I don't want sad music played at my funeral. I want to go off with the theme to Pirates of the Carribean playing! And at the end, I want Navras, the final fight song between Neo and Agent Smith as they're carrying my coffin out.

- I want a comedian to do the readings, not a priest.

- Donations in the form of underwear will be accepted by the family and a huge flag to be made out of them to be flown over my grave marker (Even though I'm cremated, there's ging to be a stone somewhere) Maybe in the front yard so everyone can see the panty flag. I hope all the ladies I knwo would donate. [sevengem] is exempt from this since at some point or another, I'm going to steal her panties so I'll concider that her donation.

MY WILL BE DONE!

I had no idea that they had posted these pics on the website. Be back in my school days at the Atlantic College of Therapeutic Massage. We did an awsome Fund Raiser and I even put in Overtime at school to get extra credit hours. I never realized until now that the black shirt i'm wearing would have been so much better tucked in.

That little guy is actually only 5'3, but the hight comparison is very amusing. I have a lot of respect for him, being in charge of running the SCCR and all.

And while on the topic of linkage, I give you my longest lasting online friend Kathryn and her stick bikes.

And she's comming to spend New Years with me. Yee!

This gives me an idea... I need to train my cat to raid panties for me...

Pie-Rat!!!!!

I'm really getting fucking pissed off at all these houses that have something written like:

"[Ass Face With No life] is my (Insert some stupid relation nobody cares about), Mess with (Him/Her/It) and I will kill you/Hurt you/maim you"

Does it make you feel tough? You're threatening people on the INTERNET for fucks sake! So me sending [Ass Face With No Life] an insulting message doesn't exactly fill me with fear knowing that somewhere in Texas/Ireland/Some Place Not Next-door to me is going to stop fucking his/her brother/sister to come all the way to fucking New Brunswick to beat me up. SERIOUSLY FUCKTARDS! What are you going to do if I "Hurt" this person? They are going to cry in a fucking bowl of milk and then spill it for another reason to cry over it. And me? I will just use the convenient Block Member option and fill my ever damn growing list of ass hats that try to flirt with me or insult me.

So forgive me for laughing in your face instead of quivering in fear because some Titsmack doesn't like people insulting their friends online. Anonymity is one of the main benefits of the Internet.

I'm pretty sure weak threats on my life sent in an Elftown message aren't going to cause me to bleed. Hell I'll be damned if I even shed a tear. Chances are your message that you are going to somehow find me in a in a world of billions of people to kick my ass...

But hey, if it makes you feel tough to threaten to beat me up if I hurt your friends, power to you. But if you're going to make the threat, be sure you can go through with it, and I think that threat is about as useful as saying you're going to blow up Mars with a squiggle pen and tweezers. Use the squiggle pen and tweezers for something useful, like masturbating your little penis.

I'm going to go back to laughing at idiots now. There is no end to my laughter.

Back to weights again, unable to move arms past hip level now
Somehow manage another shower with non-working arms

Try to see what all the fus is over "Hard" Lemonaide and spit it out because it tastes like bug spray,
Brush teeth and tongue to get the taste out
Write a diary entry about all the things done out of complete bordum and go back to being bored.

I'm so bored I don't even feel like pieing or panty theiving!

Maybe I'll go do some Pr0n soliciting. I am the Smut God afterall, I should be out trying to ccollect donations to my church in the form of boobies.... Wow. Sometimes I think of how unprofessional I might sound, but then realize that even though I am so weird on the outside, in a clinical setting, I am perfectly decent and caring and respectful. I know plenty of massage therapists who's weekend activities involve getting drunk off their arses and trying to pick up at the bars. Compared to that, looking at boobies and giggling is harmless!

There are 100's of websites to buy medication for Erectile Difficulties, but not for 1.56 cents a pill. We have some of the lowest pricing on the internet.
If you are already paying hundreds of dollars, then you should visit:

I've had to sneak up on my own hand some nights because tt's bored with all the trying... And Jed says he can save me money! With a Website called [t1hmh2y0y6hg3tbwvet4ytbb] Who wouldn't trust it?

Alright. I'll stop joking around

My Erection Is Better Than Yours Jed. Your Sister Can Vouche For That!

I had to share. I rarely laugh when I'm alone but this got me.

The coolest 404 I ever got. Ever.


Once upon a midnight dreary, while I websurfed, weak and weary,
...Over many a strange and spurious website of 'hot chicks galore',
...While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning,
...And my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour.
..."'Tis not possible," I muttered, "give me back my cheap hardcore!" -
Quoth the server, "404".

How do I wind down after a long day at work when the computers aren't working, the programs are booting us, the phones are randomly hanging up on customers?

I start tracking down any female guard and other badge holding Towners who's name link appears before me and I throw a pie at them and steal their panties.

Why?

Because I am lovable and can get away with it.

I hope.

I am right? Seriously.

Bah, oh well. I am awsome.
