Hello good people of Myspace.
I hope all is well out there. I come to you with a heart that is full of love and admiration. I have found happiness like no other. Somehow along the way I seem to have lost some friends but a door was opened when they closed theirs. I have new friends that keep me smiling and enjoying life. Everything happens for a reason I guess.  My most special friend Steff has showed me the way back to happiness. We seem to be in good company with each other. I could not have imagined a better partner in life. Peas and Carrots as Forrest Gump would say. We talk for hours at a time and it only seems like moments. Time is cruel, it feels as though it is standing still but in reality it continues on relentlessly with out mercy. We have learned to treasure each and every moment. We are being tested by distance and loneliness. Our love for each other is a worthy and powerful adversary for such foes. My job has been an allie to these foes. It is taking me further away and now I will not have a day off for the month of April. So I guess we will have to make the most of it in May. I am going to sign off now. Good day & safe journies to you.

Well I have been informed that I should write to you bloggers again. Lucky you, here I am. I have had so many things happen to me in the last little while. I must say I am truely blessed. I have found a new person to share my life with as I was about to write off being in a relationship again. We seem to be perfect for each other. The only draw back is that we live so far apart. I am throwing a hitch in the line by moving further away. I have been offered a different position in the ranks of our ever growing fisheries department. Accepting it means I have to move away for training. Never fear good people I will return.
I went on an amazing journey to Reno NV USA. The most amazing time of my life. I went through Oregon and California to get there. I brought home a few souviegners home from Reno but could not find any while I was in California. One of my friends asked me if I wanted to go to Reno out of the blue. I must say I was a little stunned by the question. I was speechles for a few moments thinking it was crazy talk, I seen he was serious and I said why not. I need some adventure in my life. I had plotted a course to Reno and as fate would have it it was the wrong way. The shortest way to Reno would lead me to Steff. I was very excited when i realized this. I had not meet any women of interest from on-line before. I was not sure what was going to happen. Steff had helped me open my heart from my past failures. We are giving it all we have.
Our winter cerimonies are in full swing as spring is rapidly approaching. We have actually had a full winter season here for the first time in a very long time. I have truely enjoyed this season. Nevertheless I am ready for spring and what this new year has to offer. Our snow and ice are just about all gone. Some days are very warm. I hope all is well out there with you. Good Day and Safe Journies To You.

My happiness has been on my mind today. I truely feel great about where I am. I was questioned about being in love again. I have been married once and have considered marriage again. After my divorce I never wanted to fall in love again, it took me a long time to recover from that. I recently found and lost love again. I would have to say that was without a doubt the happiest time of my life. It was short lived but I am okay with that now. I have fallen in love four times in my life. Three of which made it to the relationship level. None of have lasted very long. I am not sure there is another woman out there for me. At this moment I am okay with that. I consider myself lucky to have fallen in love four times.

 I have some stong beliefs in the way I lead my life. I have found pride in who I am again. I was asked what my goals are in life. What plans do I have for my life. When I was younger I made many plans, had many dreams but I lacked focus. At this point I could not imagine doing anything else. I love what I do, I wish there were more time in the day to get more done. I do not like to miss out on anything. My job seems to be opening a new direction in my life. I seem to have made my job my life. I am very lucky to be apart of such a good and dedicated team. We are all young and changing our environment for the better. There is a saying "..be the change you want to see in the world." I see many family going without trying to keep food on the table and this bothers me. I am the kind of guy who wants to help out in any way I can. I can hunt and I can fish. Fish have become my life. We havest thousands of fish to feed as many as we could and we fell short of our goal. We will be even stronger next year, we will be more prepared. There are those who have dissagreed with our practices and yet those who spoke out against us still took there share of fish, craziness is abound. There were some who lined up to take their shre of fish and compained that it was not good enough. I will be there to feed them again and many more next year. Our crew is only getting stronger.

I should be studying at the moment but I felt like posting a blog, aren't you so lucky. Tommorrow I am taking my exam to get my Captains license. I have not even taken it yet and I am already thinking about going to the next level of boating. This license to operate non-pleasure commercial vessels up to 45 feet. The next level is to operate the same size of vessels but to also carry up to 40 passengers. With this current level I am testing for I am not allowed to carry passengers. Passengers mean people who pay a fee to ride on the vessel. I am looking forward to the exam but I should still be studing. I am a very capable operator but there is more to the test then operating the vessel. I really like the name to the next level as well, Master Marainer. That is to cool.

On a different note I am still very much alone in my life but I am no longer feeling lonely. I feel I have attained the happiness I was looking for. My confidence level is getting dangerously high but all is well. I am feeling more and more that this is the life for me. I have buried myself in work but that is nothing new. I am enjoying the company I keep. I went out on my own for lunch today and had a little time alone. It was pretty good. I took the time to appreciate the things that I have in my life. I took the oppertunity to ask a woman out for the night on the town and was shot down but it was kewl. The oppertunity presented itself and I went for it. I am glad I made the effort. I was just looking for a fun night out but I guess I am to serious for most. I do not want to take life so seriously anymore. I am here for a good time and not a long time. I am very greatful for the friends I have in my life. I am very greatful to be healthy enough to work as hard as I do. I am greatful for the family that I have who blindly support my every effort. The other night I was out with some friends and was given some words of encouragement. I was very appreciative of their kind words. Well I should get to the books. It will only make me better at what I do. I hope all is well out there. Thank you for taking time to read this.

Good Day & Safe Journies To You.

Well our fall season has come to an end. We now have a new obstacle. Our main and seemingly only access to the north end of the valley within our valley has been closed. My job takes me all over our territory and the north half is cut off. There are ways around but very lengthy. The end of this delay is weeks away. The bright side of this is that I am the only one willing to make the drive so my hours continue to rise.

My job has kept me very busy and I have not had much time for myself. I have not been to a movie in forever and the theatre I like to go is in the north end of the valley. I bought my first digital camera which is proving to be a great investment. I love to take pics of me and what I do. I am proving to be on the vaine side.

I have found time to make some earrings and I am very impressed with my product. I have immediately chosen a pair for myself. I also started carving paddles again made a real beauty of a paddle. SHHH it is a secret to those that they are being made for. I have no pics of those paddles to maintain the secret till they are presented to the recepients.

Well I seem to be getting distracted with life at the moment. I hope all is well with you. I hope you have a good and may your journies be safe. Until next time and in between time be safe and have fun out there,

Howdy folks

Well I have a long weekend here. The first time I have been given more than one day off in a very long time. I took friday off on my own accord. I am lucky that my supervisor gives me free riegn to come and go as I please. I have it pretty good in my job. So many have been told that there is no work for the winter. I have been told that I have a busy schedule for the winter. There was a staff bbq more of a good bye dinner for those that are not being called back. I was surprised that I was called in to attend. I have had the summer pretty much to myself. I have barely even seen these people in passing. We are local and know each other but for myself there has been no bond of brotherhood so to speak. My roll in their time here has been quality control and to crack the whip as needed. LMAO To be respected is great but to be feared is so much more fun.

Today was a pretty good day. I spent some quality time with my uncle. I enjoy his company. I am glad he enjoys mine. I ran into an old friend at the grocery store or she ran into me repeatedly trying to get my attention. It was pretty funny and really showed how patient I can be with others. I was texted at breakfast by another old friend. While I was in one of those moments where you notice someone and you want to them to notice you. We shared a few glances but I was to distracted by these texts which promted some very big smiles. Seeing that old friend had me smiling as well. Sadly I have not smiled like this in a very long time. It sure feels good to be happy again.

I was called first thing this morning and told that tommorrow was cancelled. I was looking forward to the drive north and back again. It seems to be the only quiete time I get. There is no cell service out there so all I can do is think. I enjoy having a cell phone again. I took many pictures with it. I had not really tried texting before I bought this phone. People would text me and I would just call them back. Texting is definately a cheaper way to go. There are certainly some voices that I would rather hear. Well I think I have taken up enough of your time. I hope all is well out there. Good day and may your journies be safe.

I am not sure where I left off but I am sure it was a while ago. I want to tell you I had the best summer I ever. I fished almost everyday for sockeye. Many families were fed this summer. I wish I could have fed everyone but it just could not happen. I found love this summer. I swore I would never go there again. I am glad I did. Many great memories were formed and will be everlasting.

Love has left the building though. She told me I was a great guy and that I did everything right it was just not our time. I had a very hard time accepting this. It was not the first time I was told this and that made it hurt all the more. For a few days I was very angry and distraught. I was very tired of being the good guy. The guy everyone counted on. The guy who is always there. The guy doing the right the at all costs. I had found a love like no other and did not want it to end. It did and I have accepted that. Immediatly I was shown that there is hope out there. There is the dawn of a new day on the horizon. I wavered for a moment but I have found my balance and am ready to take life head on again.

I am back in the thick of it at work again. My friends let me know who they were and how much they cared and that was a big boost for me. I was feeling very lonely this summer. I was having a great time but there was no one to share it with. I was working every day and volunteering when I was needed. I put in many hours a day and lost track of time and where everyone was. I was very sad when it came time to call it quits on fishing. We pulled the nets and boats out of the water. As I was starting the journey home I said a prayer for all the fish that we caught and the families who received them. It was a long quiet ride home. I have been taking my time repairing the nets. I have been posting some pics here and there of journies this summer. There are more to come. This seems to be a lot of nothing and not making much sense but that is how the summer felt as well. I hope all is well with you out there. i appologize for this mess.

Hello good people of Myspace.

It has been a while. I always want to write regularly here but life turns me in other directions. Our busy season is now finished. My spring went really well. I love to work as most of you know and that is what I was doing all spring. For about a month there I worked with out any days off, I worked some double shifts as well as a few triples. I do not have much of a life because of work but I enjoy what I do and where it takes me. I will not get rich or even well off doing what I do but I can not see myself doing any other job. I went out for chinesse the other night and my fortune was "Boats and water are in your future." That put a smile on face because it is my life. I would not know how to survive out of the water. I have not had any time for artistic endeavors and I truely miss being creative. I have been asked to make a few things but things are just not falling together in that department. I am pleased with where I am at and where I am going but there is always the wants versus the needs and what I just plain can not have. These realizations are uplifting and disheatening at the same time. I have always told myself that nothing is impossible so maybe I should stick to my guns and keep hope alive. Well I think that is about it for now. I hope all is well with and thank you for reading this.

Well spring is here. Work is getting crazy again. That is the way I like it. Night is falling on long day here. It snowed today. I have been put on days for the first time in a long time. It is going to be crazy. I might have to go to bed early.  I went and did a course in Vancouver last week. I had a lot fun. I seen some fish we do not have here aswell I seen a few eels. All this in the urban landscape of the greater Vancouver area. It was an awe-inspiring day for me. I never really feel like a country boy untill I get into the city. Checkin out out all the people, the cars, the buildings. I like to just drive around and take it all in. I watched 10 000 BC on an enourmous screen. I spent 40 bucks on a meal, these are things we can not do here in the interior. Did a little team building in the process. I did not get to go and see everything I like to see. Such is life I guess. I like to see the dirty side of a city. It gives me appreciaition for what I have. Well my empty stomach is telling me it is time to put the women and childern to bed and go look for some dinner. I hope all is well out there in the world wide web.
