"...Its been a long time, but my time is finally here." No I'm not feeling nostalgic for Star Trek Enterprise as, quite frankly, it sucked. No I'm just saying one of two things, the first of all its been a while since I've written here, and that with my potential career change coming up and the weather turning to what us here in Manitoba consider to be "heavenly" things are starting to look up.
With my acreage of yard to take care of (actually its half an acre but still alot). and home improvements being needed I have ahead of me a busy slate. Jobs and tasks that at first seem daunting seem more attainable now. Maybe its my more positive out look on things now, who knows?
Regardless I'm going to talk about movies now, cause really whats something to look forward to in the summer other than movies???
First of all opening in theatres tomorrow is IRON MAN 2! This is a movie I have been looking forward to since well Iron man 1. I can go on and on about how awesome its going to be...but really do I have to? It's going to be for sure.
Secondly most eagerly anticipated movie this summer for me is.....THE LAST AIRBENDER!!! Surprised?? Sure it seems a kinda kidish and its directed by exhausted hack of a director M. Night Shahalimananana*&(). I could of looked up the spelling but that was more fun :D. Regardless I'm looking forward to this as I am a huge and avid fan of the cartoon its based on called Avatar: the Last Airbender. They had to change the title due to the titanic sized turd of a film Avatar just coming out and frankly good call to distance yourself from that as much as possible. (See previous post on my feelings of Avatar). For those of you who don't know of the cartoon, it was an anime styled cartoon on the Nickelodeon network. The basic premise is their is a world split into four nations, Fire, Water, Earth and Air. Peoples of these nations can learn to "bend" or control the elements. Every generation a person born of one of these nations is the Avatar and has the ability to control all four and is supposed to guide the world as a leader. But the avatar goes missing and the fire nation strikes and attacks the rest of the world. Regardless for a "kids" cartoon it was extremely well written and engaging as a story. For any of you who are reading this I highly recommend to rent/download or watch YTV or NICK channels for episodes of Avatar: the Last Airbender. Just because its "for kids" doesn't mean its not good. Remember one of the most successful movie franchises of all time was dubbed "just for kids" and people of all ages love it. This of course being Star Wars. s0 :p
Long enough rant on that. Other movies that I'm looking forward to are (in no particular order) Robin Hood, A-Team, The Expendibles, the Losers just to name a few. Please comment on any I may have forgotten. Well that's all I got for now, so enjoy the summer movie line up!!
Ciao for now

Long time no post,
Hey all.
Sorry its been so long. Honestly I've been uber busy as of late and haven't been able to find the time to write my usual witty rants. Anywho update on all that is LeShad. hmm....Oh OK so I think I'll spill the beans about my recent development. I'll do it now because I believe everyone who didn't know before that needed to knows now and the rest...well...SURPRISE!!!. So pretty much what happened was I've been accepted into a course to learn how to be an IT technician and computer networking specialist. The official title well that's kinda undefined but the program is called Internet Specialist. So YA me. The downside is I'm leaving my current career field. Is it a gamble? Sure a bit but I strongly believe there is more security in the field I'm going into then the one I'm in plus I believe it's something I'll enjoy doing much more.
Regardless lets just say for now, I needed a change and for future plans between my daringly wife and I this makes the most sense. So that's the big news, and around this time next year I'll be finishing up my program and starting an exciting new career in the computer IT sector. So ya me! *holds for applause*.
Thank you...now onto other things. Well my health has been OK so far. My thyroid levels seem to be stable as my Doctor has cut back on my meds, my only concern now is the symptoms of my hypothyroidism have not really improved. I'm still lethargic, with stiff and sore joints and I have problems concentration and remembering things and I'd mention the weight thing but to be honest there are other reasons for that one.
One thing I have read regarding hypothyroidism is that its symptoms are so similar with other conditions that its possible that it masks other issues. Unfortunately recent blood tests have apparently come back negative. I have ideas of what it could be, but to avoid sounding like a hypochondriac I'm going to keep them to myself and speak to my Doc about seeking other treatment options. Its frustrating that in this day and age and with our great health care system and technology it can still take forever to get a proper diagnosis for something I strongly believe is not that big of a deal. I am making it an issue though for the fact I'd like to know what's wrong with me so I can cope, get treated and maybe recover from whatever it may be. A reason for the length of diagnoses I find that is our lack of Doctors, current Doctor's are so taxed that they have to adopt a "wham-bam thank you ma'am" approach to patient care. Maybe not true of all Doctor's but mine specifically. I spend hours to just see him and he ushers me in and out super quick to the point where most of my concerns are not even addressed. I talk to him about what I think it is and he tells me not to read stuff on the Internet to get myself too worked up and instead its nothing and to stay positive. I understand reading stuff on the Internet isn't a good idea but honestly I get all of 5 minutes with my Doctor so I have to kind of lead him in the right direction of what I think it is as quickly as possible. I am exaggerating here but not by much. I have been actively looking for another Doctor but every Doctor people recommend is not seeing new patients. And I don't really want to take a leap of faith to see a random Doctor as I may end up having one worse than my current one. Its infuriating that I'm stuck behind this wall but lack of something better its just going to have to go on my ever growing stress pile which lately is getting pretty big. Don't worry I don't see a break down coming my way in the future just sucks to deal with is all.
Regardless I really can't think of much more to write about for now. So I'll end this here. Sorry it started on a high note and ended sad but thanks all for the listen anyway.
Oh wait another good thing, doesn't really concern me but it did make me happy. One of my favourite comedic people in the world Conan O'Brien, has recently announced he's going back to TV come November to take on a late night talk show on TBS. Unfortunately its TBS but the at least he'll be on TV and won't be hindered by network censorship. So awesome for him. OK so now I'll go
