Not much has changed in my life recently. I go to work, come home or visit my parents, go to sleep, repeat. That said, I can’t believe it’s almost been a year since “H” packed her things and drove off into the night, leaving me with a broken promise, a broken heart, and broken dreams. I may come across sounding very bitter and upset but I am not as upset as I sound. I am doing well for the most part and the past year has really taught me what are the most valuable things in life: mainly family, good health, and good friends.
On the subject of friends, I’ve recently become addicted to Facebook. I’ve spent on average three hours each day perusing and “writing on people’s wall.” I’ve come to learn that Facebook is mainly a “young-un’s thing” (people in their teens and early twenties) where they keep in touch with their friends, classmates, family, etc. It is also a place to share pics, join interest groups and plan parties. To really capture the essence of this phenomenon, I suggest one should take it for a spin and experience it for oneself. Who knows, maybe you’ll end up like me and spending an hour or two snooping on your friends and seeing what they’re up to.
This past Tuesday I attended a Canucks game where they hosted the Minnesota Wild. I was able to go because my cousin Ed bought four tickets back in November of last year. So Ed, Eric, Steve and I headed down in great excitement, hoping it would be a good game. It started off pretty well with the ‘Nucks grabbing a early 2-0 lead but like the ‘Nucks of old, they slowly squandered their lead and eventually lost in overtime. I was quite disappointed with the result but I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the cheering, because I can only afford to go once a year to relish in the electricity of attending a game live. I heard that Eric and Ed are 0-3 at the games this year… maybe they should consider staying away from GM place… Funny thing, around this time last year Caylib and Kathy also took me to a Canucks game. It was also, strangely, against the Minnesota Wild but we won that game 2-1 I think. Strange, n’est pas?
An update on my personal life: yes, I’m still single. I decided that I am not pursuing a relationship with the wonderful girl I met at the wedding. I went out with her a few times and really enjoyed spending time with her but all of the initial feelings that I had for her just evaporated. I’m not sure what happened; I guess that I’m apprehensive of falling in love again because I’m not sure that I can survive another heartbreak so soon. This is a very likely scenario considering that she is leaving for Toronto come June. So if I became too emotionally attached, it would be another painful period and I’m just not ready or wanting that anytime soon. In the meanwhile, I guess I’ll just continue to make-do with out a relationship (but if you guys know me, that’s pretty tough thing for me to do) and enjoy my bachelorhood.
