Cutty's Gym

Hot damn, let the internet shopping begin.
I need to find a job pronto. I applied all over town and have gotten zero call backs. Zero. I hear there is a dishwasher position down the street, I guess that is where I should start now.
How is school bro?

Ending the Drought

Two thirds of a year since anyone posted and it seems like time. My summer has come to close and I am now starting my first full week of school. 1000$ in text books, 675$/ month for rent, groceries... suddenly my summers earnings seem insufficient.
I started my summer with a boxing match on June 4, no contest there, TKOed my opponent in the second. A few days later I drove my motorbike out to the Bruce Peninsula, or at least I thought I was. Apparently motorcycles burn up oil much faster than cars and I ran my tank dry by Brockville Ontario, which is East of Toronto. I was 600 km short of my destination and had to essentially sign over my bike to a local Honda dealership. A few hundred dollars later I made it Toronto, spent the night with Dave Smith, and then caught a bus to Wiarton.
In Wiarton I was framing a fourplex for my friend Trevor. We lived in the woods, drank beer, rode four wheelers, and shot guns at beavers (they had it coming). I took a little break in Calgary to see my sister and family. Once there my mother convinced me to stick around and help fix up the house so that they might sell it. Maybe they will, but I kind of doubt any time soon.
Somewhere in this time I was drunk on a paddle boat and fell into a lake with my Iphone in pocket, so now I have a new phone. Strangely, once my Iphone dried out, about a month later, it worked again.
On my return to Halifax I couldn't find my car. I assumed CJ had let a friend use it and it was just parked somewhere else. Wrong. Our friend used it and then parked it out front of the house next door. Eventually this person filed a complaint and on August 20th my car was towed and seized. At 30$ a day plus 100$ for towing, my car will now cost me 700$ to drive again. Fucking neighbors. No car, no bike, new phone, no girlfriend, it has been an eventful summer at least.
I will be doing a lot more cycling though, so it's not all bad. I am currently writing this in AutoCad class because my computer freezes whenever I open AutoCad.

So long,
Blair Allen
