Well the wedding is over! It went AWESOME! Except for Nicole of course, way to go Connor for ripping into her, I'm so proud of my little sis. Just to shed a quick light on the situation, Nicole picked the worst time to have one of her "Dawn hating moments".....at Shannon and Travis's wedding.....enuf said....one of the tackiest things I have ever seen.
So the night before consisted of the wedding party heading off to Maquires, for a quick bite and a drink. Travis and I had been doing a lot of running around since 6, so we both were pretty hungry and tired. So we arrive at Maquires and stuff and around midnight I decide to head home. After a quick visit with my lovely Tasha, I get a call on my cell from Clayton. He informs me that Travis has went "apeshit" and was all panicked, and did not want to spend the night alone. So I put some clothes on and booted it over to Jeff's (one of the groomsmen). Arrived around 1am, and Travis showed up shortly after. After about 30 minutes sitting in his car with him, we decided to head INTO the apartment! :) Travis felt a lot more relieved by this time, and we hit the sack around 3am. Clayton slept on the couch, Travis in the spare room, Jeff in his room and myself on the floor!!! Clayton and Travis awoke around 7:45am, and myself at about 8:50am. We met up quickly at the A.C.T. and then I headed home. After a quick McMuffin, I went to mom and dads to put the final touches on my speech. At first I was going to improv it all, but at the last minute I decided against it. I had some good ideas and stuff and did not want to forget them. Around noon Travis showed up and we quickly realized we had forgotten our Boutinears(?) and had to rush all the way to 33rd to get them. When we got back the rest of the groomsmen had arrived. We quickly decorated the other van and then came up and changed into our tuxes. Around 1:30pm we headed off to the church. 2pm the wedding ceremony begins. I loved it....it was so touching and being a part of it makes it SOOOO much more enjoyable. It was about 30 minutes long (thank god, it was sooooo hot) and then we spent about 45 minutes greeting people. Then it was off to the University for pictures!
It was sooooo fun driving to the University. Honking the horn so much has never been so much fucking fun. I loved every minute of it. Two vans, decorated, horns a-blazing...priceless....
We arrived at the Campus for pictures, and I did not like it. It was hot, the kids were having NONE of it...and they took like 4 pictures total of the wedding party....the rest of the time we just sat around....the only good thing about it was that I SAW CHRISTINE AND RYAN!!! What a fluke that we ran into each other...i got to see Christine and Ryan...it was awesome...she looked soooo good. *sigh* Anyhoo after pictures finally wrapped up, we headed over to 7-11 for some "overdressed" fun. Well, the shit hit the fan! The 18 dumbass clerk was a fucking asshole. WE grabbed a corndog of all things and he gave us shit for grabbing it ourselves. When the container PLAINLY said "Pull"...oi...Well Shannon had a shitfit on the guy and left....she took a bite of the corndog, realized it was "COLD" and well Amy just ran back in there pissed off like hell, and demanded more stuff, and just grabbed some nacho's and said "I am also taking these"...priceless...I loved it. We stopped by my place briefly, but I didn't have my keys so we just chilled, eating free nacho's. Then we headed off to the hall for the supper and dance. More honking commenced...to the point that I fucked up the horn on the Van....teehee
So the supper arrives, and I must say I LOVED SITTING AT THE HEAD TABLE!! It made me feel like a million bucks. People servivng you and everything...oi....the guy who gave me shit for eating the cheese chunks at Eli's was now calling me sir and getting me my Pil. ahhh poetic justice! We ate, then came the speeches. Shannon's mom did a touching story about Shannon's blanket, Nicole did her Toast to the Bride, and I did the toast to the Groom. I must say I felt very pleased with the job I did on the speech....I just hope everyone else enjoyed it just as much. After all that there was a little picture show about Travis and Shannon...very touching. Then the dancing commenced. Nothing really worth mentioning, except some jerk people who weren't invited showed up, James got totally pissed (I love that guy!!) Dallas was a greasy Dego, Clayton was pure, Dawn was a fucking trooper (I mean that), I sucked helium from Balloons as all the drama of the evening commenced, and I almost missed the CHICKEN DANCE...but Ross Spice...holy crap that guy moves. After the socializing some of us headed over to Claytons. This was a double bonus for myself, for Tasha was over at Angela's house, which is 3 doors down from Clayton....fan-fucking-tastic. I got to go to a terrific wedding and finish the evening with an even more terrific girl. Life is just fucking awesome. I passed out on the trampoline until 6am, and stumbled into Angela's and slept on the edge of the mattress!! :) It does not matter though, because Tasha was next to me, so it could have been a bed of hot coals and it would not have mattered to me. I aowke a few hours later and went to the gift opening. To say the least it was REALLY hot, I was tired/hungover....so I might not have gotten as much out of it as I should have. All in all the wedding was awesome, and I would do it all over again in a FLASH. Good times, with good people....Congrats Travis and Shannon, and thank you so very much for letting me be part of your special day....
On the topic of weddings Congrats to Jophy for tying the knot also. Sounds like Sasko got the drinking games going nice and hard over there! Way to go boyz! Sorry I missed it :(
I did this on a limb, so I hope I didn't miss anything really important...I think I covered all the bases....All in all a fantastic night.....sad to see it over :( but happy to see the outcome :) Thanx to everyone! and no sleeping with married chicks....at first she was cold, but warmed up near the end of the night....teehee..., would have liked to have had Darren there to share in the fun! also thanx again Angela you sexy ho for letting me stay and taking me home.....
Well that's it....this weekend I have a "family" function to go to....don't know how to feel about this one yet...
I insist that my readers EMAIL MEEEEEEEEEEEE please!!!!!!!!!!!! Peace out! Oh and Bruce keep up the good work!! :)
Next update is going to be about a silly girl who is very special to me....be prepared for the "Grade 10 Letter" update....full of mushy goodness...I promise

Oh me, oh my is it hot out! I would like to open my update by saying that my prayers and such are with you Darren. I am deeply sorry to hear about your uncle. Seeing what kind of man he was in your mind only makes me respect a man I never knew. Reading your thoughts made me realize this man was important to you, I am sorry.
So the weekend has come and passed once again. This weekend consisted of going to good old Emerald Lake. I am quite fond of this lake (except for the drive out there). It is beautiful, well maintained, and feels like a small town that accepts anyone! Tasha and Oaks came along for the ride for the weekend. To be brutally honest, I did not think they would, but with some last minute negotiating (me begging) they decided to come!! It was so great spending time with them, and everyone was AWESOME in the accomedation department. I did not know how well everyone would react having a four year old running around, but everyone stepped up and did a fan-fucking-tastic job! Thanx again kids, you know who you are! The weather was perfect, and the boating was plentiful. I broke last years tubing record of 12 seconds......by 3 seconds!! Anyone who knows me, knows I hate deep water. I was a pathetic little fool.....but I did gurantee that one point in my life, I will tube AND wakeboard! It will be a loooooong time though :) Vancer had an good time by the sounds of it. I barely saw him! Out and about! That crazy guy....8 freshly out of high school girls...and he hangs with them?!! pfffft!!! JERK! :) Came home sunday! All in all an EXCELLENT lake trip. Mad props to Dallas, but not his shorts! ;)
So on thursday Tasha and Oaks slept over at my place. This was the first time someone had stayed over. It was "different" at first, because I do not have a lot to offer to a 25 year old and 4 year old. I realized how BACHELOR I am. I have grown so accustomed to being single that anything that disrupts it makes me go all weird. I forgot what it is like to sleep with someone else in your arms, and I can see why. When that person leaves, all you do is crave it more and more. Over these past 4 years I have managed to "block" out all those mushy-ass feelings, even getting to the point that I stopped "checking" out girls at the bar and such. I need the oil changed, and fast....and I plan on doing it very soon, no matter who it may be. I was thinking Rachel, for our love is a forbidden one....relate it to Spike and Buffy. The thing is though, if I let Rachel ride the S-Train, she'll never wanna leave! Toot Toot! :) Back to T&O....they also stayed Sunday, and Monday night. I loved it. I can live with snuggling (corny I know) but it works for me. Whatevs...
So Saturday is the big wedding. Oi, it is close. Christine and Ryan are also getting married that day. Congratulations to them, for I won't get to see them. Chris I love ya, and don't ever forget it, I'd love Ryan too but he has his hate on! :) Travis looks nervous, and it sounds like Shannon is stressed to the max. I am very much looking foward to Saturday. It is going to be one hell of a fucking time!!!! Of course I'll have all my coverage up a few days afterwards! So enough on that department.
Toni, Connor and the gang are back in town. Always nice to see Toni, but it only took her 30 mins to mention my weight :) Silly girl, always realize I'll be a big boy. Olivia and Matthew are cute as always. It is disappointing as always to see that Jim cannot come by. I always love seeing that guy, but I think he forgets that it is a lot easier for him to see me than him....HEY JIM!! HOPE YOUR READING!!!! hehehehehe Speaking of Jim, everyone keep their ears open for Scotia 630.....hopefully I'll get to spend a little time with Toni and stuff....
The hottub party is right around the corner and all I have to say is, GREG PREDIGER....watch out Trembach(s)....
I am outta here, it is fucking hot....Bruce I love the educational e-mails!!!....
I am outta here

so so long folks! Sorry to my loyal 3 1/2 readers out there!!! It has been awhile....some of which is NOT my fault....Spitfire fought Shaw, and Shaw won.
Oh boy, where do I start....how about Travis's stag?? sounds good to me
So July 5th was the Stag. I was nervous about it all day, so I completely shaved my junk, pornstar style, oh and because being the best man, I had to plan the whole fucking thing. So we get to the Scuz at the ridiculous hour of 6pm. The Stagette was also going on a pub crawl and arrived shortly after. You never go to the bar at 6pm..NO MATTER WHAT. The reason we had to start so early, was because I planned a pub crawl for the stag, and that was the only time we could get going. So at 7:30pm the bus left to the first bar, Rylys. All 7 of us arrived on the 80+ passenger bus. To say the least I was pretty choked that NO ONE had shown up....I had at least 20 confirmed "yes", fuck whatever. So we get into Ryly's and SURPRISE! We are the only ones in there!!!! So we shuffle off and play some pool...the only thing that made it worth while was when the bartender came over and got us all shots. 2 for the groom and myself. After Ryly's we headed off to Jax!(ha ha)
We arrive and the staff starts harping all these rules at us. No jackets, no smoking here, bla bla bla....it was worse than grade 1, and to make things even BETTER, we were once again THE ONLY ONES! They played Pink Floyd though, which was a nice gesture. Near the end of Jax things started rolling. We were getting pretty drunk, I showed James and Travis how small my dink actually is, and Clayton spilled the pretty girls drink. The goal was to get some people to join us on the bus, but alas no deal....but at this point no one cared, except me, I was still feeling pretty shitty about all of this. We stopped at Jax for my own selfish reasons, this is where Travis asked me to be the best man.... Next stop DirtyDrive
We get to DirtyDrive and things FINALLY picked up. James and I were very drunk, Vance saw his cousin, and Clayton and Dallas macked. Connor joins us after I begged her to come in the bathroom at Ryly's on my cell. There was like 5 other staggette's and another stag party. We lost Travis for awhile, because he was off flirting up a storm! Teehee, that's my boy! :) We stayed a little later at Dirtydrive, Linsie showed up which was nice, and I waited for my friends, Tasha and J-Dawg to show up....they were "caught up" so we finally headed off to the Long Branch.
The Long Branch was a short visit, by this time we all were waiting to head back to the Scuz to meet up with the Staggette. Clayton sat for 10 minutes with his imaginary drink, before he realized he left it at the bar. Silly Busby! "Cowboy" came and rallied us back on the bus. Back to the Scuz...
So we head back to the Scuz and this is when the REAL Shit happens. I won't go into any GREAT detail about OTHERS ordeals, but I will talk about mine. To sum things up, I got a little action, which is always a good thing, no sex or anything like that, but enough to keep me happy for a few days...Best of all it was with a MARRIED CHICK. She and I were flirting innocently (or so I thought) and we ended up sitting on a couch at the Scuz. She is on my lap, and starts to nibble my ear. Anyone who knows me AT ALL, knows that the ears are a "sensitive" place for me. I told her to stop teasing me, and she responded with "If I was teasing you, I wouldn't be serious" well, as the bulge in my pants grew, so did my urge to kiss her. So I say "So when are you going to kiss me already?!?!" and she paused and said "Well you sister is over there with your friends" (Tasha and J-Dawg had finally arrived by this time) and I said "Mleh, so what" and the kiss commenced. Teehee I sound like I am in Grade 8!! I am so pathetic. Well we stopped after Connor shouted "STEVEN!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!" Tasha and J-Dawg were in awe, as was myself! :) So we all head back to Claytons for a little after party. Not much happens there, except that I made out with the married girl once more...(snicker) and I went home with Tasha and J-Dawg and we all slept in the bed! To say the least the STORY is WAAAY better to tell.....no I did not have sexual intercourse with anyone this night (silly boy) All in all the Stag was a success and everyone had a lot of fun, but I can TOTALLY see why people get all worried about Stag's/Stagette's.....no one is themselves.....boner city!
So I am going to backtrack a little to the night before, and talk about Louis. This is where Stonemason performed their last show. I showed up around 10pm and saw all the regular gang, Sasko, Warren, Evans, Mike, Dana, Alan, Max, Michelle and most importantly BRYCE'S MOM! This was hands down the BEST performance I have seen from Stonemason. The show was just awesome!! Bryce's mom purchased many of my drinks for me that night...what a terrific woman. She considered me her adopted son..*sniffle* and all this time I thought she hated me....even if this was just a clever ploy to get rid of me, I don't care, I'll take it all the way to the bank!!! I got a Stonemason CD, all signed....it'll be worth major cashola one day GURANTEED! :) After the show we all headed out to Adam/Erin/Warren's place for an "afterparty". At this point I was too drunk to care about anything, and I just ended up talking to Tasha most of the time on my cell while lying on the grass at the church across the street. I finally got home at 4am. Oi...little did I realize this was the last time I would see Sasko and Brian before their big trip. Other than a brief visit the next day, this was my goodbye....it was sad to realize my "boyz" were gone.
So that was the first weekend of July......the second weekend consisted mainly of Eli's wedding. It was weird to see my buddy getting married. When he was walking down with his parents, I almost started crying...now I still don't know if that was from lack of sleep the night before (i slept over at Jody's with Tasha) or true emotion! We are growing up...and this was the first MAJOR sign...the wedding itself was pretty low key...which I think was the plan. The groomsmen and bridesmaids all looked good. Heather was a pretty bride. The highlight for me (other than eli getting married) was the "cowboy" getting mad at me for stealing the bowl of cheese chunks and eating them for myself. It was quite funny...and I wonder why I am obese! :) Oh well, I don't plan living past 30 anyways.....stupid diabetes. After the wedding some of us headed back to Claytons and laid on the trampoline. A nice quick lightning storm came and was terrific to watch on the trampoline. It is always nice to bounce in your full suit! :) I met this super awesome girl named Mary, and she was a pleasure to talk too....I hope to meet her in the future...but I highly doubt I will! So if anyone knows Mary, tell her I say hello!!! :)
Phew, other than seeing Terminator 3 again, that is about it for me. If I have forgotten something I will be reminded. Connor is off in London right now, so I have the pad to myself. I plan on catching up on some movies I have been wanting to see, and having the lizzadies sleepover! :) More than likely I will only get to do the first one! It is also bloody hot!
Shout out to Cyn and Bruce! I cannot stress enough how much I love you guys! You have accepted me for who I am with open arms, something which i WILL NEVER EVER FORGET. I look up to you two VERY much, and I just want you to know that! Respect to the max kids!
Anyhoo, hope you all enjoy my new picture
Listening to alot of Abandoned Pools right now, I suggest you all do the SAME!!! I suggest the Clone High theme and Start Over DO IT NOW!!!!!!
Thanks to Dallas for my Jason X desktop!
I miss my Darren, I had my first REAL crap day last week. It has been SOOOOOO long I felt that shitty about myself. I told you that you kept me sane you assmunch! :) Now you are off being successful! Nice cars, nice bed...just a matter of time before you forget about chump Prediger over here! :(
I am outta here, going to look at Vance's new Cadillac ;)

Hello everyone! Wow an update BEFORE the weekend...amazing...
So a few days ago I checked out Terminator 3. I must say i was pretty impressed! I was expecting a crap pile....but it entertained me! It is a far step away from Cameron's character driven T2, but T3 gets the job done. In this day and age with so many "franchise" films popping up, it is nice to see the old-school still kicking some ass. The story is far from deep, but has some real good one-liners and action! Check it out or "talk to da hand"
This weekend is Travis's stag party! It is starting off at the Sutherland in the form of a pub crawl! Then we are hitting up, Ryly's, Jax, Long Branch, Overdrive and then back to the Scuz. Now those are some "choice" places!!! :) Considering I planned it, I could have picked some better places, but alas i am not that creative...I am going to try my best to ensure Travis has a good time...only 2 more weeks till the wedding!! EEP! WE are meeting up with the staggette party at the end, so that might prove to be interesting!!
Canada Day has come and gone. I went out with Connor and her gang to the river to spend the day! It was totally worth while...warm pilsner and all....i'm pathetic....I am SOOOOO pathetic I accepted a bet for a Corona to go stare at 2 very attractive "HSG"'s.....I won.....oi! I got some more sun on my face which is a good thing! We went swimming at Brians house after and I fell out of the pool onto my back...it still feels bruised! Oh well :) At night I went with Clayton, Dawn and Dallas to the fireworks. They were REALLY good this year! Yay Canada!
Well tonight is Stonemasons last show....so off to Louis's to say goodbye! Emotional it might be....who knows...Sasko is a homo
Tonight is also the July4th party at Dallas's...looking foward to that also!
I cannot get enough of Two Times by Ann Lee!!! Connor is about to kill me I've played it so much....oh well back to w-o-r-k
Cya pussnuts!
