Dear Stuber:

I told you I would write a blog entry just for you, so here it is.

Hi Mike, How are you? I hear that its pretty balls in Saskatoon right now, Its pretty ok here. How is your internship going? It quite sucks that you have to work with bitchface's friend, really, who could be friends with that? Anyways, my internship is going good. There are much more cute boys to look at here than there was at my last placement.... mainly because there was none at my last placement. They aren't as cute as you or Lance though.... but can anyone else reach that level of perfection?

I might be getting a puppy soon, so that's pretty exciting... the details aren't really worked out yet... but I might be coming to Saskatoon during Easter.. too bad Easter wasn't on a Tuesday, then we could go to Lydias. I'm sure we could still go to Lydias but that wouldn't be the same as a Tuesday at Lydias... kinda like a Tuesday with Maurie, but I never read that book and probably spelt it wrong anyway. What are you doing for Easter? Have you decorated any eggs? Please note that I was going to insert a joke about lesbians there, but wasn't too sure if it was highly inappropriate or not. I'm sure that it was, but that you would have enjoyed it anyway... but it is the thought that counts right? I bet whoever made up that saying never got any nice shit from anyone. Personally I think it's not the thought that counts but the number of karats. LOL, damn I'm funny sometimes.... but only to myself.

Anyways, I must retire now, I took more than the recommended dosage of Unisom in attempts to 1) get over the time change and 2) go to bed early. I never want to have to change my clock, that's for suckers and the homeless. But the homeless don't have watches so its just for suckers. (That was also another tasteless joke, but I thought you would enjoy it).

Anyways, have a wonderful evening...
Regards,
brendawg.


P.S.
Here are some pictures I thought you might enjoy, you can make captions for them if you so wish to do so.

Dunnn dunnnnn duhhhhhhhh!

Well tomorrow is the big day, the first day of the last internship of the rest of my life. Or at least that's what I'm going to think of it as.... it puts a cheery little lining around the impeding doom of being in Winterpeg doesn't it? I thought so.


I was going to post some amazing videos that would be good for a laugh or two, however, as most of you know I am compu-illiterate, so perhaps tomorrow I can figure this shit out.


I'm re-reading my most favorite book of all time for the 4th time, Dostoyevsky's "Notes from the Underground". If you haven't read it I suggest you do, if your like minded you'll truly appreciate it. Now obviously I am nothing close to being a literature major.... I barely have a grasp on the English language itself let alone being able to delve into the intricacies of a world renown novel.... but I'll try just for shits and giggles...

To me, this novel studies the multiple layers of one's psyche. How we lie to ourselves, yet we know we are doing so.... how we see ourselves as one way but no one else sees us in that light at all.... the way we do things out of spite yet it is only detrimental to ourselves.... the want to fit in with the crowd yet the satisfaction in thinking your unique...... that sort of thing...

I really don't do it justice, but then again I don't do justice to much.... maybe you should just read the goddamn book like I said in the first place.


It especially rings true for me at this time because stuck in Winterpeg I feel very dejected from my life, which could be taken as both a positive and a negative. Positively is the more accurate critique of my life that I can attain my being away from it. It gives me a more objective view... like I am a third person watching my life pass me by... in such a way that I can learn from it. Although, this gets old after a while because I critique my life constantly whether I am in it or not. As Dostoyevsky put it, I have "the disease... [of] excessive consciousness". I will spare you the rant that he included in explaining it, because of course, you will or will have already read the book. Another positive of being dejected from my life is the 'work on brendawg' time that I have. There is nothing but time to do all of the character building and meditating and such. But again, it is more of a negative because there is only so much a person can do for themselves. I find being around those who are genuinely passionate about anything can do more for my personal sense of self. And that's where the negatives come in full force! The being away from friends and family but most importantly friends whom I consider family is the worst part. I could care less that Winterpeg is the ugliest city second only to Toronto if my friends and family were here. I think its that sense of 'community' that makes a place feel like home. Saskatoon definitely feels like home to me, Yuckton, not so much. Sure, my mom and sisters are there, but that's really the only thing I go there for. Whereas in Saskatoon there is so many things I enjoy doing, like going to Lydias, hanging out on campus (because I'm a huge dork), going to Maguires... or anywhere with the pharmacy kids, hanging out at the Bob's (shout out to the Bobs!), and of course all my friends that pretend to like me, I thoroughly appreciate it.


Anyways, that's enough life talk for tonight, I'm going to keep reading my favorite book.

Type A is for Afternoon

During my afternoon of impersonating a Type A’er... organizing and labeling and such... goodtimes... Anyways, I stumbled across some videos in my unorganized heap and thought I would share them with the world. For all you pharmacy kids out there (as well as pharmacy kid affiliates) you’ll find this highly enjoyable:

First Up: The Ray Joubert Song created by the Macker herself!

Part One:



Part Two:



Secondly a little action by “The band!” My apologies go out to the Taylor fans out there, myself included, unfortunately being on the opposite sides of the stage you can’t see his guitar stylings...

Wonderwall:



Desperado:

Yuckton to Winterpeg

Well, I made it through my stint in Yuckton with only some minor scrapes and bruises to my psyche. As much as I would like to think I hated it there, I miss it terribly now that I’m in Winterpeg. I did venture out into the world of Saskatoon this week where I had a fabulous night out with some of the most amazing people on the planet! I am always amazing at the raw talent (and sometimes lack-there-of) of a Tuesday night open stage. It has got to be my most favorite Tuesday night activity ever.....hmmm..... Yep, ever. We had some pints and some laughs and some cries and everything was wonderful. And the mass abundance of cute boys was a sight for sore eyes! So nice in fact, it could almost make you blind. (Albeit, I was with the cutest boys of all....)

So now I’m taking my show in the road, and spreading the word of Brendawg all across central Canada like the plague! Soon enough you’ll hear random people saying things such as “that’s balls”, “goodtimes”, “you would” and “little bit” (please note that this one comes with a Russian-esqe accent) All the while you’ll be thinking to yourself ‘Self: whatever happened to that glorious brendawg anyways?’
The answer my friend, she’s validating an immunoassay technique.
(More to come on the wondrous world of forensic toxicology)

Goodtimes.

(I found this picture on my computer.... I don't know who it is.... its defintaly not me... they look to happy. Anyways, I thought a nice blurry face with crazy eyes would be uplifting...)

A case of the Mondays

You know that feeling after you wake up from an awesome nap? It’s all warm and cozy and everything is good in the world…..

I think I’m just going to bask in the glory of that for a while….
