I had to submit my performance review to my boss yesterday. I get so worked up about shite like this, I don’t know why I do. I haven’t gotten any sleep over the last four days because I almost completely lose it when I worry about things. I’ve asked for a promotion, whether or not I get it is another question.

I get so embarrassed when someone has to touch me. We’re getting leather jackets at work, so someone had to come in and fit us for our jackets. I have a huge belly and couldn’t fit any of the test jackets so the guy had to find a measuring tape and measure me. How embarrassing. I must lose weight.

At least I’m going out of town this weekend. I’m headed up north to enjoy the forest and peacefulness not found in the city. I may even do a little swimming. I’m taking my camera with me, I need to take some photos of the place. It will be nice to just leave and go somewhere with no complications, not a lot of people, or noise. I need a real break.

Gay Newsflash: Ottawa will not appeal gay marriage rulings: This looks very promising. Hopefully, this won't take to long to push through the system, but it will most likely be bogged down with political red tape.

The cat came back, but not the very next day. On Tuesday, the house went on the market and we had over five viewings. I guess that was just too much for Generic, she ran away. All hope was lost and an ad went into the paper. She appeared on the steps on Saturday morning as I was leaving to go golfing. She was filthy. Mom gave her a bath and you still can't tell that she's any cleaner.

I found out yesterday morning, as I was having brunch with my sister and dad, that I may become an uncle after Christmas sometime. My sister's pregnant. She still has a test or two to get done before an official announcement is made. How cool is that? I'm going to be an uncle. I'm sure somewhere that it's illegal for me to be someone's Gay uncle. Anyway. I will be more excited when it becomes official.

So, the house went on the market today. I’m a little excited. I hope there is interest in the house, we had someone call yesterday to see the house, but we said “No, it’s not ready yet.” Mom thinks that may have been our only call. Come on, someone called the day before the house even hit the market. It’s like people who can smell garage sales, you know, the ones that show up a couple of hours or a day before the sale starts to see if there is anything of interest.

I hope the house sells quickly. I want to move this summer, so I can have a vacation from work.

I just found out that there have been two visits to the house already today, with another two visits scheduled tonight, and another tomorrow evening. I hope people are interested in it.

Today in Gay News: Ontario Court of Appeal has upheld a lower courts ruling for the right to same-sex marriage. Good news to all people in Ontario, now anyone can marry whomever they want to without having to worry about it being against the law in that province. Hopefully this will be like a house-of-cards scenario with all the other provinces in Canada to follow suit. Canada will ensure the rights of all people within this country. No one should have to feel sub-human when they are in love with someone and marriage is in the question. This is not a question of privilege, but a right for all people. Now, let’s sit back and see if the ruling stands.

May 30, 2003

I know, I know. You can spank me, I’ve been bad. I’m not so good at keeping things up-to-date and current. I haven’t updated my website for years, mind you, I don’t have lots of things to add to my site. I haven’t painted anything in almost 4 years. I’ve done a few sketches and drawings, but haven’t gone any further with them. I really should set a deadline and get some pieces done and possibly do a show.

I got back on Monday from a trip to Yorkton and Manitoba. I was in Yorkton to attend a short film festival. Had some fun and met some cool people. I had more fun this year than last year, I guess I had better company to spend time with. But the entries in this year’s festival sucked royally compared to last year’s festival. There weren’t a lot of good short films, actually most were pretty bad. I screened a couple of them that peaked an interest.

I left Yorkton on Saturday around lunchtime. I stopped at McDonald’s to grab some munchies for the road. I almost didn’t have enough money for my meal. It came to $5.54, so I tried to put it on my bank card, but it said Insufficient Funds. So I looked in my wallet and pulled out all the change I had, for a total of $3.54. I put the other $2.00 on my card. How pathetic is that??? At least I had something to eat.

On my way to Manitoba I was pulled over. The cop came up to the Tek, here’s the script of what happened.

Cop: Do you know why I pulled you over?

Me: Uh, no. Seatbelt?

Cop: No. I clocked you at 122 kilometers per hour.

Me: Oh. Ouch.

Then he asked for my licence and registration. So I gave it to him and proceeded to fill out the WARNING notice for 15 minutes. It wasn’t even a ticket, and it took that long! Anyway, the cop’s outfit was nice, he probably looks like a slob or something out of uniform. Nice butt, though.

Nothing happened on the way home.
