Some people have complained that I haven’t updated my blog in a while. Well, it’ll be a year this week, so I have to agree. I was getting sick of seeing that blog title on my page anyway, as I still visit this site on a daily basis. I was originally writing a recap of the entire year since my last blog. But it got over 2 pages long and only covered 2 months, so in an attempt to save me time and to avoid any tl;dr comments, here is a shortened version made with a run on sentence for each month. May 2007: almost lost 3 toes, foot bled for 2 weeks, couldn’t walk therefore couldn’t look for a job, people on the streets taking pictures of me, even driving up to my house and taking a pic of me in my living room still don’t know why. June 2007: Got very sick, couldn’t even open a bottle of tropicana or sleep for 2 hours or stay awake for 2 hours, got a job in a town with a population of under 50, had to give up killzone liberation online because the job was in an area with no high speed internet, I dropped out of the top 10 on the North American leaderboard, started work, supposed to be 35 hours a week, but was working up to 50 each week. Internet use dropped because I was reduced to dial up. July 2007: Still having pains from when I was sick and chest pains begin daily, I’ve had chest pains since grade 7 and am now in my second year of university so I was not worried about it at first, but it was never that constant, went to see The White Stripes preform at Mile One Centre (I still think the name should not have been changed from Mile One Stadium),got rushed to emergency twice, had a blood clot, and almost had a stroke, gave up coffee and changed my diet, continued working 50 hours a week, I buy a PS3. August 2007: Final few weeks of my contract, worked enough overtime to finish a week early and return home, but that didn’t happen, instead I got every second day off, which was crap because by this point I wanted to go home, started playing runescape because I could actually play online with dial up and some friends play it, finally got to come home. September 2007: School begins, I go to see The Tragically Hip at Mile One Centre, 10th row seats, not as good as when I saw them front row 2 years previous, play lots of Warhawk. October 2007: More school, more warhawk. November 2007: More school, less warhawk, but still some, and Uncharted Drakes Fortune. December 2007: Exams begin, got in a street fight with a bouncer on my way home from an exam, concussion and black eye make it hard to study for final 2 exams, christmas comes and goes, I get back into runescape, and my brother in law and sister start playing as well. Finished Final Fantasy 12 with all sky pirates den figures, meaning bestiary complete, all marks and optional bosses killed, also got all characters to lvl 99. January 2008: School begins again. February 2008: Tried getting back into warhawk, but just could not find the time because school had lots of group meetings, found more reasons to not go to Memorial University of Newfoundland, I really hate that place. Continue to walk to and from school despite the fact that it’s 2 km away and there are no sidewalks during winter. March 2008: Pretty much same as January and February. April 2008: Final exams again, finished on the 17th, am now on summer break, played more warhawk, bought rock band, should start looking for a job as well as a new university for the fall, but GTA IV comes out in a few hours, so that will probably wait till next month. And finally, developed a fear of cameras. I get chest pains whenever somebody takes my picture now, because of the random people or person (entirely possible it was the same person 3 or 4 times) taking pictures of me last May and June. So thats it. A recap of 1 year condensed to under 1 page.
