I remember when i used to write blogs ALL THE TIME.  I just went back and read every one that i wrote one this page and i have to admit.... i could really roll em out.  I also noticed how bad my spelling was... or is rather.  But i have to blame that on Jenjen because in high school i always copyied off her.  Well lots as changed over a year.  I live in a far far far away place, makin money and meeting new people.  Its a huge step for me living in manitouwadge and working at kg`s.  WOW.    

Living in fort mcmurray you meet alot of people from all over the world.  I have met people from china, new zealand, austrailia, newfoundland, alaska, texas, new york, sanfansico, and some place in africa that i can`t pronounce! It makes you realize that the world is really an amazing place, it just takes getting out of manitouwadge to realize it. I promise i will write more often this time.  Its a good past time and outlit for me when it`s -41 outside!

 

I Haven't writen anything in the past year because #1, i havn't had a computer, and #2 i have NO IDEA what to write! I have thought about things that piss me off.  But how many times can you write a rant about pet peeves?  Then it got me thinking about people that piss me off.  Well that could be anyone, and everyone for that manner, and i don't want to be talking shit about my mom and have everyone read it.  So then, what do you write about when you work all the time and have dog's and a house to clean blah blah blah blah.... In order for me to write something that would actually be interesting and entertaining i have to be inspired.  Either in a positive or a negative.  Feel free to send me topics or inspiration pieces that will get my ass motivated. Until then, my page is blank.

Things new in the wadge... I should be getting an email today with drunkin pictures of Jessie proulx in the bar.. This was last night when i think there was 10 people in the bar (including the bartenders, kim, and the dj) Probably a new low for jessie... or at least for whats been cought on camara ;) Jessie is seen stripin' on the dance floor all alone and doing dirty things to the face of the bar.  All and all it was a humorus event and i'm sure all of you wish you could have been there to see it.. i did manage to get some pics..

On another note.. nothing is really new here. Christmas is right around the corner so i guess i'll be seeing you all soon if you decide to visit the wadge on the holidays.  I'll be here if you wanna look me up i don't have a phone so go to the bar, if i'm not there wait a few min's, i won't be long. If not the bartender on should know how to find me. 

ps.. if you don't bring me a present you don't deserve to speak to me... lol the new Wii is fine

 

oh ya... happy birthday Ammy

Ok, let me explain something to you... i haven't been near a computer becuase on my trip to tibet i contracted a rare inner ear infection that enabled me to be near computers for 2 months. During my 2 month break from technology i had an aciedent with a potato peeler and choped of my right ring finger and left pinky and burnt off my eye brows (don't ask).  I had to drink a potion which was made from moosehead and paint chips in order for them to grow back.. only, every one know's i can't cook becuase i can't follow a recipe i mixed it wrong and toes grew in their place instead. After learning how to accept my toe hands for what they were and after my mother told me i was special ( and not short bus special, and not helmet special) i decided to go back out into the world.  I took lessons from vanessa Boug and started drawing in my eye brow, it doesn't match but i can deal (thanks bougie) So, i should be back blogin soon its hard to type with toes for fingers and i don't like to work to hard with them, they tend to smell.

 

 

ok  for those who are a bit confused, i'll fill you in.  Kyle and i broke up. Just for the simple reason that we just don't fit together.. Like Carry from sex and the city says, " its like trying on a dress, you try it on.. but if it doesn't fit... don't buy it"  Most wouldn't keep the tag on for a year then return it, but i'm not most people... i'm newfie, kinda slow.  So, this would acount for me moving into my own apartment becuase usually when two people break up, they tend not to live together.  So i'm moving into my apartment tomorrow or the next day:) I hopfully get paid tomorrow cuz momma needs a microwave and she sure as hell can't cook! Tommy and I are venturing off into the world, towards the sun set of a hellish year and waiting for the sun rise of a new beginning. 

PS. for christmas, buy me cook books, smoke detectors and fire extinguishers!

 

peace

 

 oh yes, i don't have a landline so my cell #is 1 807 229 4270

I just came home from sudbury where i had a spectactular time.  The events were getting tattooed, eating at che jeffery  (sorry i don't like tomatos!), playing super mario, eating swiss rolls and driving back and forth from oniping and sudbury.  Everything is good and well in the sudz so don't fret.  Things are good in the wadge.  I move into my new loft apartment next weekend!  well i'll be in touch with pictures

 

peace

i was shown this site awhile back and then forgot about it until now, you get to create your own music stations check it out, you'll be inpressed,

oh yes, you must use an USA zip code, i used 10001

 

So i'm an aunt.  Emily Sarah proulx was born on May 4th 2006 at 11:20 pm.  And yes i did have to push to get the middle name :) But it fits so well.  For everyone eles thats jealous and can't see her or hold her, no feel bad cuz i've had the flu since she's been home so i'm in the same boat.  I've acually left work cuz i was sick.  the first time ever! At least i attemped.  I think everyone in the bar basically told me to get out they thought i was putting my fingers in their drinks. Blowing my nose and making a ceaser at the same time.  What a combo.

 

Well there isn't really anything new here. Darren was just in town, we played guitar for 11 hours striaght.  We ended up at kg's playing on a stage for a hundred people, but when i say stage i mean sitting at a table, and when i say a hundred i mean 5 including the bartender.  But it was good times had by all.

Set list included a tenacious D medley, sexual healing and unskinny bop after everyonther song. 

 

planning a trip to the greater sudbury area hopefully the first weekend of june so all you (wadgers/submarieners) book time off work cuz your boss doensn't like it when you drool on the budget... or fries... until next time fellow homosapians

 

wow, another month has passed and i havn't writen a thing.  Well, my house is updown sidways becuase we just put new floors in, and the next project is to paint. The snow is almost gone here in the wadge so i'm spending my days outside  more and more. I was suppose to go to toronto but that was cancelled :( more tattoo's will have to wait. Mean while, at work i have been promoted to Manager at KG's bar and lounge, came with a raise and a free drink ;) Can't beat that, so when i have more time to write.. until next time.

 

Peace

Another year and nothing learned.  In two days i will be 21 years of age. Legal to drink in the states, and the average age that women got married last year.  Well i won't be doing either anytime soon.  21 in two days and i really didn't think that i would still be in manitouwadge. With my sister pregnant and married! Wow!It still feels like i should be getting up early to go to school and dreading history with Mrs. P.  All the girl friends that i grew up with are moving on, well kelsey, she already had a baby and married, Jen Jens got one on the way, and my good buddy launa has a bun in the oven too.  I've already passed this stage of "left behind" so i went out  and got a dog, less strech marks and you allowed to leave them unattended :) So i guess I am still really imature for my age, or some would argue that i'm wise beyond my years, but i know i still live in manitouwadge and havn't really done anything with my youth but maybe i'm still waiting for a marrige proposal from george clooney!

Alot have people havn't left manitouwadge and are getting along just fine, just to name a few, honourable mention paul hagar, danny pilon, the bowdridge sisters, i can go on, so next time you feel like breaken some balls, shame on you cuz if you can make it in the wadge, you can make it anywhere!

peace and happy jeuxeues birthday date to me

 

OK, so i got a new digital camera.  I've been trying to figure out how to use it for about 2 weeks. This is a digital nightmare.  Its called the DXG-305V  <--- what the fuck!   Its acually called a digital video camera.  So it takes videos, pictures, it records just voice and is a MP3 player. Yes you would think WOW what a great camera! It does everything. Its even metalic blue , my favorite. wrong oh! Ok, i'm sure it has the potential to be the greatest digiatl recording system in the world, but the memory is crap.  i can hold only 2 mp3's! I mean, what is the point of having a mp3 player that only holds 2 songs.  and then it forces me to pick the two songs that i would like to hear over and over.  i hate picking one over the other.  The picture quality isn't the greatest either. Its either too bright or too dark! grr, it never works out.  And it only holds 16 pictures unless you have a memory card.  of course, the dreaded memory card.  Not only do you have to buy the camera but you have to get the memory card too. and god knows how much thats gunna cost!  why couldn't the world stick with film. I bet in a 100 years film will be put in a museum next to the computer your using and a tree. Anyway, once i figure out this camera i will have new picutes posted. Until then, you'll have to put up with my descripive writing!

 

In the past two days I have been faced with a "dilema". When faced with your Boyfriend/Girlfriend's Ex, do you be as polite as possible even when you know that they doin't like you or, do you blow them off and be what they think you are?  Well, i think if the Ex is a friend before the hook up then you are obligated to be a pleasent being. And if they were a close friend then hopefully you would have asked them if you could date their Ex.  But in this situation, I did not even know this women until the hook up, and it was months later when i saw a picture of her to even know what she looked like. 

One night at work, the Ex walked in.  The first time face to face.  When i realized who it was i totally avoided the situation.  But then she began to wisper to someone and point at me as the other kept glacing over.  What the f is that about.  So do i A. go punch her in the mouth or B. Introduce myself and have a civil conversation?

Well in my case i choose C. i again, avoided the situation.  Afterwards i thought about it and came to the conclusion that i don't want to seem passive becuase i don't feel like a passive person.   I can't stand it when someone has a problem with me that doesn't even know what my voice sounds like! Am i avoiding confrontation becuase i want this women to like me? Maybe, but why should I care.  Its not like i want this woman to be my friend, and i don't even have the urge to have a conversation with this women, even before the hook up.

So today i had a phone call from what i think was a telamarketer asking for Mrs. MacNeil, i replyed with  "she dosen't live here anymore!" and i hung up.

Was that appropiate?

Maybe i'm just defensive becuase seeing her accually makes her real, and proving that my boyfriend and her were married.  Its not just a name.  She's real, and a real person that doesn't like me.

Oh well, i guess were all bound to have problems with our's significant others ex's.

Ok, i wish everyone would stop asking me if i voted!!! and before elections people always ask me " are you going to vote?" or, "who are you voting for?".  Dude, NO! Now i know its my country and all that jazz but seriously, i didn't even know who steven harper was or even that he was running for prime minister until i turned on the tv and it said steven harper was the prime minister elect.  And then i thought to myself, oh look at that, he's a conserative (what ever that means!) See, would you want a person like me voting.  I should have voted for the bloc.  No, maybe i should have voted liberal, just becuase i like the name jack.. or is jack with the NDP??? and what the hell is the "new democratic party"? why is it new? whats wrong with the old one?

the way i figure it, canada is much safer in someone eles hands than in mine.  And people say "your vote could make a difference!" Make a difference in what? I don't know what i want.  Ok i want, hmm let me see.... i want people to stop asking me to vote.  I will pay attention to the world and politics at my own pace, maybe when i have a real job with kids that need better schooling, or a sick relative that needs better health care or when i want my dog to have equal rights.

 I never even hear about politics until election time.  So i don't think that people really give a shit about the whole thing either.  The only thing i ever hear is " the government will stick it to you the first chance they get!" ok, so government = bad.  Ok i'm gunna stick with that. 

I do wish i would have followed this years election though, becuase this steven harper fellow looks like a diddler and i was told that he has evil eyes!

Just saying, as a woman, i appreciate the right to vote, but.... i'll just stick to doing the dishes!

IM KIDDING!!

So i havn't really accomplished anything since tommy arrived.  The only thing i've been able to do is clean and sleep while he's sleeping.  When he's awake he occupies all my time.  I guess it doesn't have to be that way.  But i just love him to dealth and i love playing with him.  Today tommy got his first bath! He loved like a cross between a feret and a wet dog. HA.. no no, looked more like a feret.  It proved to be very difficult while me and paula were trying to dry him. Jesse suggested that we put a helmet on him and throw him in the dryer to 10 min.  I bet it would have worked.  Anyway, paula has the pictures on her camara. I'll put them up when i get my paws on 'em.  HA paws!!

anyway, sorry about the puppy blogs

its the only thing thats interesting in the wadge right now

 

peace out ... a town

 

So today kyle went to pick up my puppy and he emailed me pictures of him.  I still don't get him until tomorrow and i can't wait. i Thought i would share some pics with you so you can feel how i'm feeling, he's so F-in cute i want to hug him and kiss him!!!!!!

Someone my age should sleep7-8 hours a night. BOOOO, i need to sleep at the very least 10, i've always slept 10 hours a night. Its what my body is used to. But for some reason, the world will not let me sleep past noon.by 12:01 the phone is ringing and the door is ready to be beat down (becuase i lock it now for that reason). Why can't i sleep past noon.  Does the world not go round unless i'm up at 11:59 groggie and craving pepsi.  I tell people that i sleep late every day and they look at my like i'm lazy or tell me that i should be up early.  FOR WHAT??? The earliest i work is 2pm, and most of the time i work until 2 or 3 am, so its natural for me to sleep later than most beacuse the average person goes to sleep around 11 or so and wakes up at 7.  I eat breakfast at 1, skip lunch and eat dinner at 6:30. So People, i'm not crazy and i hate being woken up by rude telephones and terrible banging on my door.  Would i come knock at your door at 7 in the morning.  HELL NO, becuase i have no interest in what your doing and what time you get up.  SO LEAVE ME ALONE.  When i'm ready for human contact i'll call you or show up at a decent hour. 

sincerliy

consideration

So january in manitouwadge has got to be the most depressing thing next to the absense of egg nogg for the next 10 months.  You may ask " Sarah, dang nabb it, how do yo do it?".

First I tried to have a goal in mind, example: moving out of manitouwadge in the fall.  And that didn't work.  Then i tried Imagining that manitouwadge was the best place in the world and i should be so lucky to live here, what do ya know, that didn't work.  Then the tried the day by day thing, that really didn't work. Then I resorted to beating my head on my basement floor until I would rather complain about manitouwadge rather than do something about it.

So, to occupy my time, i bought a puppy.  I don't get him until the 20th but after that i think he will keep my mind off of the sad exsistence of what is my life in the wadge.  And if that doesn't work, i can always bounce his head on the floor rather than my own.

I"M KIDDING!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

One comment i was givin really made me think. Yes i do hate some bands and also hate some songs from bands that i do like.  I find myself in a tough spot now because i realize that i enjoy some "basic generic" music. But the soul has to be there.  You can tell when a song moves you.  When the hairs on your arm stand up. Or just a sound can bring tears to your eyes. A strain or a crack in the voice of a singer.  A guitar solo and tells a story. A song that is so well put together that you can have it on repeat for hours. A song that reminds you of a special person or moment.

 

I enjoy music that in entertaining. Not something that i can dance to, or listen to while i'm at the bar or socializing.  I like music that i can sit down at home and do absoloutly nothing eles but listen to it. And be entertained, and moved, and maybe even cry. music and emotions are tied together.  I'll admit, if i am in a bad mood, and i hear one thing on a song i don't like, even  if i have never heard it before, i'll never give it a chance. 

and everytime i hear it i will hate it more and more and more. Until eventually i'd heard  it so many times that i have learnt the lyrics for it and i'm singing along with it.

 

I do respect most  bands or artist that i don't like in the sense that they have made it, they do make their living out of music. For example. U2 has been around for decades now. they have no intensions of retiring, all for the love of music, thats why they do what they do because they love music.  But some of their songs make me wanna beat my head in with a sharp hammer. If simple plan makes it past the 2000's,  I'll give them my respect.

 

 

 

 

Back in the good ol' days when i was in college.  Someone came up with the term " Basic Generic".  This term was applied to anything boring or over played if you will.  Let me try to define the words Basic generic.

According to Dictionary.com basic means Elemetary or Simple.  and Generic means common.  So when you combine the two we come up with Elemetary and common.  When we apply this to music,  to which i will today, we come up with common, simple elementary music.

Now what would a defenition be without examples

 

Examples

Fig. 1.

 Britney Spears.

For those of you who don't know who Britney Spears is ( you should be so lucky) let me refresh your memory.  She brang us " hit me baby one more time", " i'm a slave for you" and my favorite. " my porogative".  All these songs have the same thing in common<---- ( common meaning generic) they're all catchy and crappy.  and the sad thing is that every one, even you, knows all the lyrics to at least one of her songs.  She doesn't even write her own music damit.  Some artist.  MY POROGATIVE isn't even a Britney origianl. SO britney, bend over so we can show the world some real entertainment!

Simple Plan

now that we got the new maddona's out of the way lets move on to new age pop rock with simple plan.  I'd like to praise simple plan for a moment and thank them for coming out of the closet and using simple right in their title.  If you remember my introduction simple meaning elementary or basic.  SO thank you simple plan for teaching my generation that doing your best isn't always the way to go. Now keep following the BLINK 182 band wagon and don't forget to stop and let on sum 41, good charllote.  Their mothers can't drive them to the land of shitty music.  they're late for their AA meeting.

50 cent

 i really don't like his rapping.  Notice i did say rapping and not rappin'. cuz yes i am white. I love his lyrics " yall nigga's think i'm crazy, you crazy, i an't crazy, you crazy, maybe i am crazy". Geezz 50, can i get you a glass of water? seems like your onto something....... be right back........................................................................... sorry, i was vomiting.

 

so in conclusion, basic generic music is  nausiating and i'm ashamed that we have now taken down disco as the " what the hell were we thinking" award.   we came so far from saturday night fever, but thanks to BEYONCE and her kickin curves, looks like pop music as it stands today will be around for a little longer.  I wish i could give out puke bags.

 

If i could i woud shit on everyone of them. but lets hope that they come to their senses and stop making music.  for them i leave a bath and a toaster.. i hope you do the right thing
