a dishonest move

Good news and bad news. After struggling for months I finally got canned from my company and now I am back to square one. I dont mind the firing so much, it wasnt because( as I suspected) of gross incompetence and overall stupidity. It was more because of lack of work and the fact that me being a new graduate with no experience and them looking for senior developers, in fact they were looking for managers, so noplace for me. So ends my brief run as a programmer. Crud, now I gotta find a new job.

In other news I got myself a new cell-phone. It is a brand new W800i Sony Ericsson and the phone is so damn cool I cant put it down. The 2 Mega pixel camera takes super good pics, the MP3 player is really good and with the memory card I can really put a lotta songs on it. The phone retails for hundreds of dollars or something like that, but through less than honest means I managed to get it for free. Thas rite! freeeeee! BWAHAHAHAH!!
here is a pic of me and my accomplice celebrating:















Notice the tell-tell squinty eyes, tee hee. This was taken with the cellphone so the quality is pretty good.

Oh yeah as a side-bar, here is a pic of the little painting I did last. Its a budgie.

Smells like burning

Greetings true believers! A brief update of some activates that took up a reasonable amount of time.

I have completed a new painting, I will post the pic soon enough. I also went for a weekend camping trip for Canada Day. I was a bit hesitant to go at first seeing that it would be just guys. 9 of 'em. But then my friend Stan, who invited me, told me that it was planned that way and girls are not allowed "Hmmm", says I, "Let the stupidness begin!" Needless to say I never ate so much meat in my life, grilled, burnt, and flash fried over a gasoline fuelled pit.
Also, I think that 9 of us smoked about 4 ounces of weed with almost disastrous consequences. What happened was: At about
2AM as we are sitting around, laughing over a joke someone told a few hours earlier (yes we were still laughin about it), I went over to the fire pit, and started pouring gasoline on the logs to "help" the fire out.
Well I must have poured too much, because when I touched a match to one of the gasoline soaked logs, the whole thing went up in a huge fireball that of course took me along for a ride. Luckily I was wearing a towel wrapped around my head, and this saved my skull from becoming a flaming mess. I did lose some of my eyebrows, eyelashes, and some of the hair got singed.


I dont remember why I had a towel around me, probably to protect my self from the mosquitoes. Other than that it was a super good time, we played football, swam in the lake and chased after the local girls. Did I mention how much food I ate?

P.S. I'll post the pics when I get a chance.
