Holy shit.....3 months....that is a new record for me I think. Dammit I can't believe how I haven't touched this thing. Oh well, just a quick shout to let everyone know that yes I am still alive. Let's sum up what has happenend since October....
-My first ever play came and went and was a lot of fun considering I had FUCKING strep throat for the whole damn thing!! Like seriously, what kind of luck is that?!?!?
-Toni flew all the way over from London to see the show, which was a complete suprise. Lil shithead said she couldn't make it....and Connor kept it secret for a month!!! It was fantastic seeing her....even though I didn't see much of her....
-Had a blast this year for my birthday....went to The hose....good times had by all and I was a kiss-slut once more...;)
-Christmas came and went without a hitch, the week before I won 3000 dollars on a Pro-Line ticket...so that made Christmas ALOT better...
-Right after Rehearsal for Murder, I started in a new play called "Never too Late". I have a much more significant role in this one. It is a Dinner Theatre done at a church here in town. MUCH different than Gateway that is for sure, but i'm working with a few really cool people.
So...I just summed up about 3 months of stuff....I know there was a lot of other awesome things going on, but I don't remember them....
Aiming for Children's Theater this year....hopefully I can do it!
Congrats Ryan for making it to Stratford.....you dirty slut....
Hi Darren!
Nuff from me.....not a lot left....

Another week, another dollar?!
How is everyone doing? Good I hope...me? I'm doing fine! Thanx for asking...
Well a couple of weeks have passed and there hasn't been a lot going on. Last weekend was Rachel's b-day party! I had a great time. It was at Whiskey Jacks (the only place I pretty much go to now) and I met some old faces and some new ones also! Good times all around....Bryce and Robin showed up later, JUST AS EVERYONE WAS LEAVING!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRR......party poopers. We took a cab home, thanks Norman for the ride home...I'll never forget you...
Saturday rolled around and Bryce and I went to Robin's for an "impromptu" party. There were a WHOLE bunch of people there....none of which I knew...but it was a good time nonetheless. Around 11 I went to go see Jeffers, because it was his birthday...I was pretty drunk by now....I took a cab to Whiskey Jacks (haha) they weren't there...but Tasha and Shauna were! It was nice seeing them...I also ran into James and Katerina...good times....I ran over to Jeffers....hung out there...ran BACK to WJ's....said goodbyes then walked back to Jeffers.....it had just snowed..ALOT...and long story short I got hit by a car....now before you all start crying...it is not as bad as it sounds....he was sliding...and I just sorta stood there and watched...if I was sober...I would have moved....I put out my hands and slipped right when he got close....so it LOOKED like he hit me....the guy was shitting his pants...I told him it was ok..and after about 15 minutes of convincing him NOT to take me to the hospital I was on my way back to Jeffers....I really don't remember anything past this point...so we'll stop there....
That was last weekend...the week was quiet....had more rehearsals...things are going good for that...I'm finally starting to develope a character...at least I think...ha! we'll see...
This past weekend was pretty good also......friday went to the Rodeo cabaret thing...went with Cyn and Bruce and some of their gang! I had a fucking blast...seriously....Bruce needs to write a fucking book about being awesome...I'd be first in line...
Saturday I went over to Shannon and Travis's place...it was like Blind Date city there...I had a really great time! Just laid back and stuff....felt a little weird at the end of the night, but that's ok....
Rehearsal was today and now I'm writing this...
That is it in the life of Stevie P
Happy Belated Birthday to Jimmy K....happy 40th dude...you would have had a better time if I had been there though...
Enough from me

PAT RIPLEY, THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND
You heard it....this is just a little bit of information about the miracle known as Patrick Ripley..Mentor, Fighter and lover...
Pat's beginnings are mysterious and vague, not many know of this legend's humble start. I don't either, so we won't dwell into it, BUT, I think it has something to do with mid 70's vans...
My first memory of Pat Ripley was a scary one....this gruff young man riding a motorbike, with his godlike presence and arms that would make Thor himself cringe in fear, took me for a ride on his chariot which he named Honda. Later I realized that it wasn't actually the name of the bike, but the company who made it. Nonetheless though I owe Pat for my love of that Honda, and one day I will own that Honda (when he lowers the price) I was digging through old archives and found a picture of Pat from his motorbiking days....I don't know what year it could have been, but this is just a glimpse of how incredible Mr. Ripley is....
I have learned many things from the great Ripley. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't know that it was ok to swear at old people, and that if a young lass sits on my lap to talk about the first thing that pops up. The most important life lesson that Pat has ever taught me though was this...it isn't an exact quote, but you'll get the idea..
"If god hadn't wanted man to eat pussy, he wouldn't have made it look like a taco.."
- Ripley
Now would any feeble human being come up with such poetic words? I THINK NOT...from Vans, to Ford 1/2 tons, to still owning that Classic Beta Player...this man has seen and done it all..thus why I have dedicated a WHOLE UPDATE to Pat Ripley.....
I do this though, for I have wronged Sir Rips. It was pointed out to me awhile ago that I didn't mention Pat in an update awhile back...I did mention everyone else...EXCEPT Pat himself. A pain I have had to deal with every single day since...and this is but just a humble apology...I know Pat has room in his huge heart to forgive and forget, but until that day I will fight for his respect...
All joking aside folks....Pat is one of the more important role models in my life (no jokes) Ever since I have known him, I have had nothing but respect for him (I don't know if that is because he beat it into me or what) I think of Pat as family, and I will always look up to him. I know that if I was ever in a bind or a situation that just couldn't be fixed, I could rely on him....think of him as my backup Dad, though he can't ever replace the one I have, he comes into a close second. Seriously Pat, you and I both know you are a terrific person, and by far one of the funniest....so here's my lil ode to you Mr. Ripley...cheers!
I'll sign off with just one more glimpse of how awesome Pat is. Pat is known for alot of his charity work stemming from his Palm Dairy days...here is a picture of Pat sitting next to a cancer victim...

Hey people! How's it going?
Well nothing new with me....just chillin and illin....the after-suffer wind down. During the week I stay at home, I go out like once on the weekend...do it hardcore...so bad I have to rest the next day....I just can't do it like I used too....oh well...I'll teach my body to learn itself again.....maybe...
Last Friday was the Das Boot wind up......if you didn't know...they are City Chumps...errr I mean Champs....way to go guys.....the night was great...the best part? The walk home with Bryce...WITH HIM CONSTANTLY ASKING WHY I HATE HIM! (grrrrr) Oh well, he loves me....
My play has been going along pretty good....I'm finally starting to feel like one of the gang.....we went out this past Friday, and it was one of those quiet-turned-into-a-gong-show nights.....Double Ryes....triple ryes, shots...I couldn't remember my name by 1....it was bad news bears (yes Ryan they did win!) I apologize to Clayton and Dallas for not hooking up....it was piss poor performance from yours truly, and i'll make it up to you guys PROMISE (it's in writing now!)...
So not much else to say.....Congratulations to Amy for having her baby! Way to go kiddo! I'm proud of ya! Too bad it wasn't mine.....well maybe that's for the best....OR IS IT??!? ;)
Enough from me kids....
SHOUT TO CYN AND BRUCE! CAN'T WAIT TILL THE RODEO!!! Time to slam a few back and kick some cowboys ass....
Thanx for the ear the other day Toni! And Jimmy K's b-day is coming up...i'm still waiting for the ticket! :)

Hey everyone! How are ya's?
Well Salt Lake City is over and done with. It was a better good expierience. Cramped Car, tons of fast food and 5 dudes = good times. We stayed up with Robby in SLC and I thank him once more for his hospitality. There are pictures of the trip everywhere...check Graeme's site for details. I had a better time then I thought I would, though I would probably skip the Pilgrimage part next time, it was for sure not my sort of thing.
Let's backtrack a little and sum up the summer. Busy is one word for it. Hottub parties, Darren, Houseboating...everyone. It was nothing but goodtimes, even though the weather did NOT co-operate this year. It was great seeing Toni and the clan as always (tsk tsk Jim). Some heartache in this boys world, some success.....all in all another one for the record books. I did not see enough of my family this year, and I really want to organize a big camping trip or something of sorts for next year....so now comes the hard part...convincing everyone.....
It was great hanging out with Sasko...even though he is sad about Big Bossman passing on to the great ring in the sky....
I know there is more, but...enough of that....
Now onto the more recent news....
I auditioned for a play a few weeks back and they offered me a role! So for the next 2 months I will be focused on that....so my social calendar is limited somewhat. I am quite excited about the whole thing. I have always had people for years tell me to do this sort of thing, but I have always been a chicken shit about it....finally a customer at work sort of "pushed" me into it....and I'm glad he did! (thanx Al)...so now I play the "short, chubby balding comic Leo Gibbs"....not many lines, but I'm on stage most of the time and I do play a bit of a significant role in the end.....mostly cheesy one liners though :) Keep looking for updates...
Well enough from me, I'm going to try my hardest to be up to date with this....peace out brahs

Ugh it's been awhile....I did mean it when I said hiatus...
Anyways, alot of stuff has been going on lately with me.....i'll sum it all up quickly here...
First off congratulations to my main man Darren for getting all smarted up! I have complete faith in that punk! Way to go slutfuck....and always remember, I love your fucking face....even thought we don't talk...hater
Well I went to the BC for the big houseboating trip...WOW! FUCKING WOW! I cannot express on here how much of a good time I actually had. Drunk for three days, relaxing with some really cool people in some kickass weather....so many good times....I won't forget it. I want to organize a trip for next year, and hopefully get one of the bigger boats! I acutally went swimming in the lake....granted I wore a life jacket the whole time, but for me to go into that deep water was a big thing for me! I even went off the waterslide a bunch! Now I think I am ready for the evil TUBE....knowing that the life jacket actually works is a big thing :) It was just a great time...and i'm still buzzing about it, and will be for a long time...
Pictures
I came home, got sick.....rested a day, went out Wednesday night with my ball guys for a beer night, got drunk again....Thursday went to Asquith with Vikki and Beth for Canada Day fireworks good stuff, Friday went to Dallas's (after a surprise visit from Miss Winkler herself) then Saturday was Canada Day at Camp RO...which turned out pretty good...though VERY cold....and I stood too close to the fire works I was told :) I slept in the cold and Sunday went to Dallas' for the FOJ 04 04 party....good tunes....Ammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmerican Dreeeaaaaaaaammmmm (cowbell)
Enough from me
