Been another long while.

I know! I know! I am a horrible person because I have not bloged for like two weeks blah blah blah…
Well I figured I should get on it since I am just sitting here with nothing to do waiting for kids to arrive for our games night, and hey this beats pacing the floor. What a week dude I feel like have been run over by a steam roller and it is not even close to being finished. I won’t bore you with trivial details mostly just because if I put it down on paper (or screen as it may be) it just looks so insignificant and like I didn’t actually do a whole lot and I have really no right to complain. So You will just have to trust me that I was busy… well not so much busy just a lot on my mind and a lot of stress. Ha!! "Stress" I used to laugh at the word now look at me quiver. The thing is I just don’t think I, or ninety percent of people in Canada for that matter, really need to be stressed out at all. We just put ourselves under it to seem like we matter or have important lives. It’s like the more stress we have the more productive we are and therefor the more valuable we are.
I am not trying to belittle anyone’s life, or how they feel by any means. Really what is the worst that would happen if something didn’t go right for me? Maybe a couple disappointed kids, that would kinda stink but I could make it up to them. And even when things do go wrong there is almost always a way to retrieve them and still have a great night.
Say everything goes horribly wrong and our mission trip does not go to Mexico. Now I hardly think that "not going to Mexico" is really going to be the end of the world. I hate to a dramatist but, George in the Middle East who has an American base on one side and on one side and some radical group on the other now he has stress. He has a bad day and his house gets blown up. If he is lucky he and his family will not be in it at the time.
I just think we get so busy with stupid things that we need to take a step back eat pancakes with peanut butter and syrup and have a good strong cup of coffee. I did that this afternoon it was great. The best part was sitting in my office afterwards with the sun shining in the window, feeling full, with the glorious sweetness still lingering on my pallet, now that was great.
Well if any of this makes sense great! If not well looks like you were not missing much
Peace

PS. It is now a quarter after and the kids still have not shown up. Serves me right for trying to do it on a Friday again, I should know better.

Bahh!! Lovebug!!

So I just checked out the blog world and it would seem that many people tend to agree with me that valentines-day is ridicules. Of course that is the blog world, so how many of them are lonely lonely nerds bitter at the world who has passed them by? Well not me I’m just bitter at a world I passed by. (I have no idea what that means).

Crazy Continued!!

So I was listening to Thousand Foot Crutch in my car. There is a line in one of the songs that goes "Can’t understand my chemistry, laugh if that makes me ordinary." So you know how a song or even just one line gets stuck in your head and you even find yourself mumbling under your breath. Well this was me, except I was walking through Supperstore kinda half singing under my breath then, as cued by the lyrics I laughed out loud. This was not under my breath however no this was a good hearty mocking laugh "Ha! Ha! Ha!!!". Scared the crap out of this nice young mother right across the tomatoes from me. So as means of explaining my bizarre behavior I said, "oh sorry. I was just singing along with the song." Like everyone could hear what was going on in my head. In true Ponoka style she gave the polite smile and nodded her head, to her credit she did not run or even back away as if she were scared to have her back to me but carried on her way seemingly non-pulsed. I’m not sure if she was just used to this behavior living in Ponoka surrounded by crazies, or if she realized that once in Ponoka even the non crazies act a little odd, or she simply accepted the fact that there was music in the air and agreed with me that it was a fine time to laugh, as she was herself crazy. Any way you slice, Tim does not come out looking very cool.
Peace kids

Were the trouble began.

Hey hey!!!
Ok so I have got to become more flagrant. My life is seriously missing some good ol’ fashion controversy. I had my six month review today (something I totally forgot about until I just happened to stop by my office in between appointments, by pure luck I was right on time, plus it made me look like I was a busy boy which is a good thing). I am good with personal interaction and people feel they can talk to me, I am firmly rooted in my relationship with Jesus, but I have horrible organization skills and my communication could use some tweaking as well. Wow what a shocker!! Anyone who has known me for five minutes would have come up with these same conclusions. I guess in that circumstance it is good to be predictable, helps from getting blindsided. I just think some things could use some mixing up. Bible study for instance, get some blood pumping, get them to think for a bit instead of just swallowing whatever their told. I know it is kinda just the age for that but still give me a challenge you know.
Anyway maybe I just wanted to use the word flagrant as well who knows. Keep it real.
