Plumbers Butt

My 3 year-old nephew was squatting to pick up a ball. He had some plumbers butt going. So I asked:

Uncle: Do you have plumbers butt?
Bryson: NO!!!

Ha, ha, ha! He doesn't even know what plumbers butt is.

Writing Mellow/Ballad Type Songs

Lately I have been seemingly wanting to write mellow or ballad type songs. One would think something is wrong, but that is the opposite. I feel good, great, fine... well, you get the idea. I feel writing this kind of music lately. I don't know why. It's seem that is all I can hash out for lyrics. I need to get this out of my system. Hopefully recording will help or something. Bah, I will get back to you if something changes.

Pray For My Grandpa Cantin

My sister left me a message on Facebook via PM and said that my Grandpa, Bill Cantin is not doing well. He has gotten progressively worse over the course of time since he had his mini-stroke. She was wondering if I am going to go up to Prince Albert on Saturday. I said that I didn't know, but I have some pending vacation time for June 22nd and 23rd. That is the weekend of my cousins grad party. But anyways, I really should consider going as he may not be around much longer. But I think of making the excuse of going down in a few weekends anyways. He has a tube through his nose cleaning his stomach. Also he can't move much. He just stays on the couch and watches TV.

It would mean a lot if you could add my Grandpa to your pray list. Sure he is nearing 90. But please pray for him as it would mean a lot to me and my family.

Thank you
Mr. C.C.

“Live this day as if it will be your last. Remember that you will only find ''tomorrow'' on the calendars of fools. Forget yesterday's defeats and ignore the problems of tomorrow. This is it. Doomsday. All you have. Make it the best day of your year. The saddest words you can ever utter are, ''If I had my life to live over again. ''Take the baton, now. Run with it! This is your day! Beginning today, treat everyone you meet, friend or foe, loved one or stranger, as if they were going to be dead at midnight. Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.”

Recording Music Among Other Things

Lately I have been thinking more and more about music, recording, and stuff like that. You know, my current job is not what it once was. I would like to do nothing but music or something else I enjoy. But I don't want to sacrifice pay verses doing something I enjoy. I need to pay for rent, food, and gas. I would like to find a job that would keep me well off.

Back to my original topic... I want to do nothing but recording. But I don't have the funds to get any equipment. I just have enough funds to get me through the month. I would like to do some gigs that would bring in some decent money to sustain myself. Sure money is not everything, but I would like to be financially stable. Is that such a bad thing. But than again, I have to be realistic about what will get me financally stablized. If I could do nothing but music, recording, or even radio for life I would. But right now things are such that I can't do that.

I just don't want to be stuck in a dead end job for the rest of my life being just another number being elevated to mid-level management position. Is that so wrong to not want that. Sure my mom is willing to be a mid-level manager at Wal-Mart, but I just want something more for myself.

I will keep thinking about what I should do next with my life.

My Dad Is OK!

My sister told me about what happened to my dad. Good to hear that he is okay. My dad get hit by a truck. Not full on or anything. My dad was at an auction and was looking at this vehicle. So he was bent down looking at the gas tank and stuff underneath when this truck hit him. It than kept going and run over his ankle. His safety boots saved his ankle from being broken. Thanks be to God for looking out for my dad and keeping him safe.

Familiarity

I bet you are wondering what I am talking about. I have a little story behind this post.

Last night I was at Tim Horton's and the person who served me looked very familiar. I am still trying to place where I have seen this person. A female to be exact. I thought I would clarify that, not that is matters. Now my question to you is, don't you hate it how you recognize someone, but you can't put your finger on it from where? That is what's happening to me. I just can't put my finger on it where I have seen this person.

I am going through different places in my head where I possibly could have seen this person before last night. But nothing is connecting. This may possibly annoy the hell out of me. I do hope it doesn't though. But alas, this is just something I wanted to put out there.

Work, Work, Work

Work is going good. I am not on the phones as much as I used to be. I will be doing a lot more stand up stuff this coming week which will be cool. I am on the cusp of going to the next level. I am just waiting for a spot to open up. So until then, I will be a team lead.
