Before you read what I write. Read who I am.

Originally from Alberta and in the last number of years having been living in Vancouver, British Columbia. We are now living in Woolwich, London where we inhabit a wonderful little 2 floor flat in the Royal Arsenal. The family has grown over the years from being just my wife and I to the family of four we are now. My work has brought us to London for the next two years where for the first time in ages we will live in the same house for more than a birthday. The experience is written below from then till now. With a view of the Thames from our windows and boat ride to work the new life begins.

simple yet effective

I had a wonderful weekend. I got to sleep next to my boy for two naps and it was very nice. Made me feel like a Dad and just overwhelmed me with love for my son. We all had a great day on Saturday too and I think everyone around here just felt rejuvinated from it.

Oh did I mention it dumped 6cm of snow here? Yeah. It did.

Sebastian helped me build a computer recently and this was just a great picture from it.

And I did some more artwork I don't think I uploaded yet. A Few things I'd like to fix in it but as it's a learning piece I'm just going to leave it and continue on.

Chances Are.......

Chances are we're gonna leave now
Sorry for the victim now
Though my days are filled with sorrow
I see years of pride tommorrow

Chances, chances are some might not hold out
Chances are, hang on right now
Though-oh-oh-oh my-my days are filled with sorrow
I see years of pride tommorrow

Chances, chances are some might not hold out
Chances are, hang on right now
Chances are, oh chances, you're my chances
Chances are, hang on right now

Chances are, hang on right now

Deal with loneliness, I'll take some tear drops
Chances are we'll have to win
Chances are, hang on right now
Chances are, chances are...




thanks bob.

living is life

Well we (my co-workers and I) got the official shaft. We were moved from our little Hilton on the 12th to an open and rather uncomfortable sport on the 20th. We now are at little IKEA tables and have to wait 3-6weeks for new cubicle furniture to come in. Weak.

The worst part about it is that I feel absolutely no one fought for us to stay or to even find us a better alternative. We were told this is what there was and that's that. Well we were given one alternative but it did not work out and all involved were unagreeable to the solution. After this the decision was made.

By who? Who knows?
Why? Who Knows?

totally vegan.

I'm feeling really down about work.... can you tell? it's driving me a little nuts these last few weeks and I really can't seem to break this bad mood = work cycle I am in right now. With any luck something will come along that will lift my mood somewhat.






Life will balance.

up the date

why no updates you ask? Battlefield 2142 that's why. All you WOW'ers this is better.

I played the beer n cake last week at work. It was fun but I felt like I was playing for nothing really. There were 15 people in the room and 30-40 outside that couldn't hear me. Nothing like feeling like you suck. I didn't, it was good but yeah.

Halloween came and went. Sebastian saved the world twice and his parents were so gratefull they put him to bed and ate all his candy :) We gave him some before he went out and a little coming back and he was WIRED!! I don't think he's getting chocolate for a while. The wicked costume was all made by mom. Super S with his Tooth cape. Very Very cool.

I've been working on my man Philmore here. I have been vector drawing in Illustrator and then moving it to photoshop for touch ups and colouring. I free handed the beard and neck as the vector images weren't what I wanted and I couldn't get them to behave. Now I just need to work on stylizing them and colouring them and I can continue.

I have no idea what he is but he is based on shapes our clothes made in the laundry bag one day. I just took the pad in to the can and drew him out.

what else........?

We are on this new food plan now. I think I may have mentioned it. We only eat foods with ingredients that we can pronounce so that pretty much limits it to fresh foods. We now get food from spud.ca and omg is it ever good. Super fresh organic produce. I had a raddish the other day in my lunch that looked like a beet. It was HUGE. And the deliver for free on our orders. yay! ok till later.
