I had volleyball today. I'm on the company team in the local co-ed league. I know what you're thinking "what? this short fat guy with dreadlocks plays volleyball?" Yeah, I play volleyball. We won 2 games to 1. I don't exactly remember the scores but it was something 25 to 19 (win) 25 to 23 (loss) and finally 25 to 14 (win) Yay!

I doubt I'm that much a good player, but I was one of the betters ones (at least third best there.) Plus, it's only a co-ed league and then there's the fact that it's a company team. So competition is not so tough and a lot of us are there only for fun.

I bet I looked funny jumping when tipping, spiking and diving for the ball, my dreadlocks whipping around all over the place, heheheh.

No, I won't post pix of myself.

I was reading other blogs earlier and noticed a distinct difference in the styles of posts and the content and substance of the posts and the sharp contrast between them and me. They all have stuff going on and it's not that I have stuff going on... The reason I dont post much on here is cuz I'm always protecting other people and their interests.

I hate talking behind people's backs. Yes, I have issues and differences with some people and I know full well that they're talking trash behind my back. I know they're rallying support and putting me down. But the main difference between them and me is that I'd rather face them head on and put and end to it there. But sometimes they just hold a grudge, and I guess I can't blame them as what's happened looks pretty low on my part. But that falls into the category of "protecting other people."

It sucks. So many skeletons in my closet and none of them are mine.

1: By doing just a little everyday, you can eventually let the task COMPLETELY overwhelm you.

2: There's a fine line between bravery and foolishness. Too bad it's not a fence.

I was in Thunder Bay this week....

There was this woman on the bus. Yes, she's beautiful and possibly half my size yet somehow taller than me. I am a short person but by no means a small person, anyway...

She got on before Brodie Street Bus Terminal and sat near the front, facing to the left of the bus so I had a good look at her. When the bus stopped at the terminal I went to ask the bus driver how I could best get to my destination. "You're on the right bus," was his reply so I turned to return to my seat and the woman had switched seats to the very back while I was talking to the bus driver. The bus also filled up to near capacity and there were only two seats now available, one was beside her and the other was a couple rows up, a rear-facing seat directly in front of her.

Being a shy person, I didn't sit beside her, but opted to sit facing her. The bus started moving again after sitting at the terminal for a bit, nobody else had gotten on so the seat beside her had remained vacant. We had made Stranger's Eye Contact a few times and smiled. I could tell we were both exhilarated at that little connection but we couldn't help it, even our reflections were in the way when we tried to look outside.

She has a lovely complexion and a well-defined facial structure with an oriental taste. And then there's me... I have no idea what she saw in me, with my ratty dreadlocks and didnt-shave-this-morning face. Yes, I suppose she could have been laughing.

After a fourth amusing, more extended bout of eye contact, she looked at the empty seat beside her then back at me. I took her cue and went to sit with her.

"How many times have you been told you're the cutest living china doll?" I asked her without blinking.

"Never," she answered with a giggle and a grin, "that's completely new to me." We had a nice little conversation at the back of the bus, laughing out loud and flirting like crazy. There was even a little innuendo on her part and an apology for acting like that because she "doesn't do one-night stands." Damn, I wish I was there in Thunder Bay longer...

The conversation wasn't soul-bearing or heart-warming by any means, no, it was two people talking. But I will remember her because of the way she said goodbye when we parted ways: "Bye David, It's been really nice talking to you, I hope we meet again in the future." I could only wave and think "Yeah, me too."

It's been nice, having nothing to do... I've been off work since last week Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. and I don't return until Monday at 8:30 a.m.

I had cancelled all my plans to go to Big Trout Lake, Sandy Lake and Thunder Bay because I didn't want to spend this pseudo-vacation too busy. I was getting so burned out at work I don't think I could have handled all that travelling and the people I would have to see. But, I still do want to go to Thunder Bay, I'm leaving tommorrow but don't know when I'll be coming back. I don't mind... Even one night will do. I just want to get out of this town for even just the tiniest bit.

I had my 24th birthday last week on the 10th, but I didn't go out and get drunk to celebrate with some friends, no.. I stayed home on the phone and talked to a lot of those very same friends for a very long time. I think it was about 3 in the morning by the time I finally got off the phone and I had made the first call just after supper-time. I'm already dreading my next long distance phone bill.

It's been a nice restful week I've had so far... even if I did spend a lot of it hungover. (I did go out a couple times and get stupid) They were massive hangovers cuz I don't drink that much .... I don't think you believe me, but that's okay.

Hi sheryce!!

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreamin' on such a winter's day

Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin' on such a winter's day

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
If I didn't tell her
I could live today
California dreamin' on such a winter's day (3x)

I was surfing around and found a site that has origins of surnames. And my name?

1. Morris, Possibly a modern form of the ancient Irish name "O'Muirgheasa".
2. Morris, "Dark, swarthy" (Latin).

O'How-is-that-pronounced?

I'm so happy because today I've found my friends
they're in my head
I'm so ugly but that's O.K. 'cos so are you
broke our mirrors
Sunday morning is every day for all I can
and I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze
'cause I've found God

Yeah

I'm so lonely, that's O.K. I've shaved my head
and I'm not sad
And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard
but I'm not sure
I'm so excited I can't wait to meet you there
but I don't care
I'm so horny, but that's O.K.
my will is good

I like it, I'm not gonna crack
I miss you, I'm not gonna crack
I love you, I'm not gonna crack
I'll kill you, I'm not gonna crack

Now, I wanna be sick from all the coffee and water I've been drinking and also lunch. I've been drinking coffee all morning and to offset the dehydration I've also been drinking lots of water. *BLEH* Hmm... I'm awake, it's time to slow down...

I was out until 4:40 a.m. this morning, (Being a bad boy, you ask? No, not really...) so I sat awake until 5:05am wondering if I should just stay up all night... Nah, I quickly jumped in bed and stared at the ceiling for a good half hour from my coffee buzz until I finally fell asleep.

I read somewhere that if you sleep for at least 90 minutes you can fool your body that you've slept for about 6 hours.

I need at least 7 and now I'll be tired all day.

To those accustomed to the precise, structured methods of conventional system development, exploratory development techniques may seem messy, inelegant, and unsatisfying. But it's a question of congruence: precision and flexibility may be just as disfunctional in novel, uncertain situations as sloppiness and vacillation are in familiar, well-defined ones. Those who admire the massive, rigid bone structures of dinosaurs should remember that jellyfish still enjoy their very secure ecological niche.
