seriously... enough with winter man.

The past couple of months have been quite stressful, I can't lie on my own blog.

Here is the laundry list... in case you're curious

• I've been dealing with my current immigration situation--which is nonexistent since my partner and I still have no status... We'd like to get out of our basement-apartment-living-situation, as the upstairs neighbors aren't exactly "light walkers" if you know what I mean... Not to mention the fact that we sit on patio furniture because I refuse to buy new household items until we get a real place. What's the point when there is a pretty good chance you might get deported, right?

• The holidays came and went, and not fast enough I should add. Since we can't visit our family at this delicate time, holidays just aren't the same. Yes, my partner and I consider each other family, but let's face it-- 1: I can't cook like my mom so I'm going to try it unless she's giving individual lessons 2: we don't fight with one another and holidays are not as fun without a couple of good old tussles with your siblings--I miss fighting with my brothers (huge part of my upbringing actually)... Needless to say, I am glad they are over!

• There is a recession currently, and unfortunately Stephen Harper is still the Prime Minister. Come on Canada! Are you serious with this guy? Seriously? The picture below says exactly what I think about Mr. Harper. Politically correct? not so much. Figuratively correct? perhaps. Could it be worse politically here? Nope.

• And lastly, it's still far too cold out!

Deep down, I know I shouldn't complain because I know things could be far worse, so kindly forgive me. But since this is my blog and nobody reads it, I can basically talk about whatever I want!

I need a vacation. One with sand and ocean and lots of skin showing everywhere and beer during the day... Are there any places like that in Canada?

If you can think of a way to put me back in "glass half full mode", I'd really, really love to hear it. And don't say zoloft or viagra or whateverelsefuckingpillpeopleseemtobepoppingthesedays... all those things do is cause side effects!

OK ... I'm making myself nauseous with what a Debbie Downer I am... stories from the gym coming up!
