Credula vitam spes fovet et melius cras fore semper dicit*

Hey gentle reader. I’ll dust the cobwebs off my blog in a moment.

A great amount of things have changed.

www.exsulis.com has gone off the air, I let it fade and that seems like not such a bad idea.
Part of that is I can no longer be reached at that e-mail
But the old stand by e-mail address is still around …
Bikrasnyi At Hotmail Dot Com.. Feel free to e-mail me there or add me on MSN

I’ve moved, the need to sell the house I was living in required a move … something I dreaded has turned into a good thing… I like my new place small and neat and comfy and it came with It’s own chair, y’all know how much I love a good chair.

Work at the bar has ramped up a notch , I have been doing more and more double shifts ( opening in the morning and then bouncing at night ) the extra hours along with a pay bump has helped ease the day to day stress of bills

I did not have any internet for more than a month and a half! Something that was both a pleasure and a pain at the same time , but obviously it has come back … thanks to telus and an long wait and many phone calls later ( the ups side is they promo’s the first three months for free .. Weeeeee )

Oh and I have a bigger t.v. combined with a smaller living room it is cinima-riffic…

The x-box 360 died …. Two months after the warranty died.. Such is life

Life…

People often complained about working too much, I’ve been one of them. It’s not so much for me the work itself which can be rewarding ( any job can be rewarding if you are happy with doing something right). As much as the people … thankfully the really bad ones quit , sadly one of the replacements is just as annoying. And aside from bouncing, bartending, and all the other stuff I do , somehow I became the guy who mops , not because I open but also because no one else wants to…

And it made me mad.. But if I accept that it needs to be done then I’ll do it and eventually take pride in doing it properly … does that make me simple? Perhaps it does, but there is no harm in being simple.

My life is okay.. I am happy for the most part, and the things that leave me raw are doing so less and less. I think that I am day to day getting into the idea that changing what I can, accepting what I can’t and living how I want really is a good way to live.

I miss performing I think…

We’ll see how i feel after a full year of not doing it… maybe I’ll go back to it next year.. Take the time to rebuild my kit and sound system.

Perhaps also I will move into the city after the summer has passed, I find that Edmonton actually does have what I want to make me happy .. All in all it seems like a good idea and it gives me a few months to save a little nest egg and look for a place I want to live in .

Here’s some advice.
When things seem a bit dark or frustrating try to find a redeeming quality about the situation, set your own ladder of rewards for the things you can accomplish, and enjoy the fact that no matter what. Every day has at least one thing in it that can make you happy… specially if you have extra batteries …

I’ll write more later
