Stratford Life...

2 weeks I've been here now and this is what my life is like in Sunny/Snowy Stratford.

I've been Volunteering for the past 2 fridays at the Arena with the Junior B hockey league, our team here are the Stratfor Cullitons, which aren't that bad of a team at all.



Also I've been hangin with Jim at kinsmen meetings and group activities in the city, its kinda nice to be getting involved in the community here....makes a guy feel at home so far away from home.
Everyone has been really nice to me too! I got a job at blockbuster when I got here and also a job offer at Good Life Gym to instruct a class, going today to see what classes they need instructors for. Also this Lady Madeline I work with at The Arena just gave me 4 free tix to go to my first ever Stratford Festival Production of Much Ado About Nothing.


So the festival runs from April to November and has just over 2 weeks left on its season for this year, so now is the time where I study and talk to people around the city to get a name for myself a lil and squeeze my way into the coordinating part somehow...I've already been talking with set and costume designers, a few actors, one of the directors plus the coordinator of the festival but nothing in stone yet...Geesh!

Oh yeah and I met this girl named Kristen while having a few drinks at the theatre folks hang out called 'Down the street cafe' she's a hairdresser and offered to do something witht his mop.

So anyways...all is well in Sunny/Snowy Stratford

Its a lil lonely without all y'all here, but I'll be home soon

Love ya!

ok cutest song ever....

I think I have a new group to fall in love with...
"Imogen Heap!"..check out this...the cutest song EVER!!


Say goodnight and go.

Skipping beats,
Blushing cheeks.
I am... struggling..
Daydreaming,
Bed scenes in... the corner cafe
And then I'm left in bits recovering tectonic... tremblings
You get me every time.

Why'd ya have to be so cute?
It's impossible to ignore you..
Must you make me laugh so much?
It's bad enough we get along so well..
Say goodnight and go.

Follow you home,
You've got your headphones on
And you're dancing
Got lucky;
Beautiful shot:
You're taking everything off
Watch the curtains wide open
And you're following the same routine;
Flicking through the TV, relaxed and reclining
And you think you're alone..

Oh, why'd ya have to be so cute?
It's impossible to ignore you,
Must you make me laugh so much?
It's bad enough we get along so well..
Say goodnight and go.

One of these days,
You'll miss your train,
And come stay with me...
{It's always say goodnight and go}
We'll have drinks,
And talk about things and,
Any excuse to stay awake with you...
You'd sleep here,
I'd sleep there,
But then the heating may be down again,
At my convenience...
We'd be good,
We'd be great together...

Go (sigh)
{Instrumental pause}

Why'd ya have to be so cute?
It's impossible to ignore you,
Must you make me laugh so much?
It's bad enough we get along so well..
Say goodnight and go.

Why's it always always:
goodnight and go?
Oh, Darling not again,
Goodnight and... go...

Winnipeg Manitoba

Ok so went and visited Bob's lil brother Jason and wife Tanya yesterday. Which had to have been one of the highlights of this trip.....they were so funny and easy to talk to it was awesome...Never has a completely stranger home felt so comfortable so fast....they have a very warm home.

We talked for hours about pretty much everything, we got to know each other pretty well in those few short hours. He also gave me a gift that is amazingly meaningful and personal for me. in case you're reading this Jason and forgot....the name of the book is 'Celestine Prophecy' and its written by James Redfield.

Later lastnight Stephen and I went to Fort Whyte to watch the staging of the geese which is where the geese wait till dusk and then fly...thousands of them....across the fields into these few lakes...its so cool the sound and the sky goes almost black...it looks like this.


it was quite amazing!

Then today I went to the winnipeg Museum,

Tanya works there and the museum was closed for cleaning but I got a private tour...woot!! What a cool thing to see...
the nonsuch ship from england....

the batcave with the hibernating bear, all the native artifacts were beautiful, the little rooms that had a dentists office and the native displays were unbelieveable, and all the diorama's
.....there was a bear paw glove that totally was at one point like the Freddy Crueger glove of those days!!

Thanks Tanya for taking me around I really enjoyed the sneak peak.
