"u'r fam will be in my prayers tonight, stay strong and have faith"
This if comming from a person, from what little I know of them (mind you I would LOVE to know as much as I possibly could but hey) they have every right and reason to disbelieve in Yahweh, and turn their back on faith of any kind and here they are, sayin' they'll pray for me, and to have faith, and here I am, raised on faith and Yahweh. Living and BREATHING that life and I've lost faith, and I hardly ever pray... it just boggles the mind, and I just took a 5 minute break there to cry for the first time in a very long time. Facial muscles aren't used to that, kindda hurt :S
But yeah, this person's helped me, not sure if they know how much, and they're still helping me... it's, somedays I look at it and think that it might not be the most healthy, to rely and depend on someone that much and you don't know where exactly anything is going, and then there's other times when I've been waiting all day or week to talk/see this person and, it just makes me so happy just talking with them, (to quote Green Day) about nothing and everything all at once... yes, I care for this person a lot, but anywho, that's enough tears for me tonight... post later. And oh yeah, for those who do read this, since I've upgraded to the "New Blogger" and don't have that little post board thing on the side, just click the "thoughts" link at the bottoms of me posts and leave a hi, or you're a loser or whatever, it's always good to know that people still read this, well, sometimes ;)

"You can only be young once. But you can always be immature" Dave Barry
"Live forever or die in the attempt" Joseph Heller, Catch 22
and another quote that I love, and by one of the most amazing people to ever grace the earth with his presence and humour:
"I can remember when the air was clean and sex was dirty" George Burns
Yup, looking for things to cheer me up right now cuz I learned some more info about me stepmom (that's what I consider her even though there isn't a ring or paper work, she's me stepmom and I love her as such) Debbie, she was addmited into the Brockville General Hospital just a little over two, possibly three weeks ago with pneumonia which progressed to somthing more and they had to put her in a drug induced coma, then they were looking for an opening in ottawa or kingston, I was hoping for ottawa but she got a bed in toronto. Better facilities yes, but pretty far away. Yeah, so apparently her kidney's started to fail and she had to be put on dialysis, and she's in some hospital in toronto and my dad's out there to be near her, and I wish I could see her but I'm not sure when that'd be possible cuz I might be starting a part time job at the movie/electronics place here in kemptville... so yeah... yeah... now I've depressed myself again... yey -.- yup, going to shoot pixilated people on Call of Duty 3...

So, after leaving CDI, well, BEFORE leaving CDI I left Ottawa and moved in with one of my friends, and someone I consider almost closer to me then my own family. Jim. Known him for, well, since I moved to spencerville pretty much... yeah, fuck how time flys by... anywho, I moved in with Jim & Bev, and have ended my relationship with Amanda. I will say with 100% honesty, that I do miss her, and it still hurts when I think about it. It's still a little raw, eve though we broke up around, what, novemberish, so our few conversations since have been short, to the point, and very tentative and cautious. I still haven't really come to terms with the grief of the break up, if anyone has advice, again, leave a "thought"
So, since the mid of October I've been living with Jim and Bev, going to CDI to finish my first year there which finished around November 24th I believe, and have pretty much been a couch potatoe since then. I have, in the last few weeks, been feeling depressed. Mostly thoughts that I'm worthless, I'll never do anything with my life, I'm NOT doing anything with my life, I'm fat yadda yadda yadda... I've decided to start looking, in earnest, for a part time job, possibly even a full time job, all depending on what I can get in Kemptville. There isn't much really.
That brings me to another point. I want to get a job to possibly help stave off this depression, and to help payback Jim and Bev for what they've had to dish out extra to keep me here. I've had an offer from another friend, on that I've just met recently, but we get along really well, anywho, they've offered/asked if I'd be interested in moving, with them, into a place in Ottawa. Now, here rises one of the problems, I like staying with Jim and Bev, I really do, but even if I get a job I feel like I've not really over stayed my welcome, but I feel like I have to do more then what I'm doing. I have to work out, I have to apply myself to things, and become more independant and just generally learn more things that I won't easily learn while being here, if I do go to ottawa with my other friend I KNOW they'll kick my ass if I don't do things, they'll push me (in ways that I need) we'll have fun yeah, but they'll keep me in line and accountable for everything, and they'll be able to teach me a lot of things about how to be my own person and shiat like that... and on top of that I'm applying to the military, HOPEFULLY getting into their Regular Officer Training Plan (ROTP for short) and they'll pay for Uni and what not, but if not then I'm starting to look at the different support options there are for it and what not... *sigh* It's pretty much like I'm at the hub of a roundabout with so many different roads to choose from and I'm not sure which one(s) to choose. I know what I would LIKE to do, but what I'm unclear on is what I SHOULD do.
Also to top that off even more, I wouldn't say that I've lost ALL faith in God, but it's gone down a LOT. I have almost nothing but contempt for the Church, be it any denomination (the Catholic church has it's own catagory that I'm not getting into right now, maybe later in here, or maybe not at all) it's flawed to one of the greatest degrees, it's supposed to be a place of comfort and uplifting and sanctuary, but yeah, from all of my experience it's anything BUT! Oh, on the surface it's all of those, but masks are wonderfully deceptive things, you get below that and it's all about the politics, the power struggles, the gossip, to HELL WITH IT ALL! I do not go into the "House of God" to get involved in petty shit like that! Add that I've started to view the Bible as a construction of men and have very little to do with the actuality of "The Word of God". So, right now, the two mainstays of what Christianity holds dear, the Church and the Bible, mean very little if nothing at all over me, and if it's like that, can I consider myself a Christian? I don't know. I'm starting to hate being labeled one thing over the other, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buhddist... I've seen to much in my life to discount the fact that God exists, but since what I've been raised with I'm starting to see as fake, false and almost nothing of value, where does that leave me? In a very interesting position, and while typing all of this and thinking more about it, I'm starting to think that this is another part that's adding to my depression, my loss of faith/beliefs whatever you want to call it. Yeah, it's kind of hard to find your way when you've lost your compass eh?
And to add to the bad news, my stepmother (that's pretty much what I consider her) is now in intesive care at the Brockville General. She was addmited to the hospital last week sometime with pneumonia (or however it's spelled, I've never claimed to be able to spell) and a type of stomach virus. Well, some how the pneumonia has gotten worse and they needed to do a blood transfusion to help with her hemoglobins, and to up her WBC count, and have put her into a drug induced coma, and with the coma comes IV's, a tube in her throat to put her on a machine to breath for her, and also she has an IV that was punctured into her lung but it's beneficial appatently because it's helping to drain some of the fluid that's accumulated in her lungs. So yeah, besides the possibility of losing my stepmother, whom I like, she's an amazing person, but I'm more worried about my dad. From what my sister's told me he's taking it pretty roughly, he's going from like, uber antsy to calm, from uber angry to docile, he's just having SUCH a rough time and I don't want him to lose one of the best things that he has in his life right now, I don't know if he'd be able to take it. Fuckin' hell, tears, haven't had those damned things come in a long while... anywho, really long post so I'll stop it here, don't really feel like crying right now so yeah. Later.

1) 2 year course, costing appox. $25,000.
2) My second week will be so chaotic it's not funny. 8am-1pm is the beginning of the Actual course, and 2pm-7pm, the same week, is when I take one of the pre-qualifying classes for the Massage Therapy course.
So I just learned today that there's someone else in the same boat that I'm in, so that makes me feel a little bit better, and she also has a car. My Admissions Advisor is going to ask her if it's alright if I come with her when she goes to the Pre-Science.
Called my family (not including my father, yet) and they were all pretty much happy for me. My mother called me from her cellphone on her way back to Roebuck, and I told her the news and what not. Then after all the "I'm happy and proud for you's" I asked if she would be able to give me some money to help with school and bills and what not, then she turns it around to a slight at me saying (not exactly verbatim)
"This is what happens when you leave stuff until the last minute Chuck."
Then I exploded on her, telling her that unless she knew the whole circumstance and events then she could say something. And then I added, "So fuck off." then there was silence on her end of the line, and she was giving me the "I'm sending you on a guilt trip" tone of voice. I felt bad about it, still do, but the thing is she's the one that lashed out and pushed my buttons, which she's done all my life (if I can remember correctly) and I'm sick and tired of it and since I've been out of the house for 4 years, to me, she has no right and if she goes and pushes those buttons again, I'll lash out all I want. Anywho, I don't want to bash my mother anymore. So yeah, there's my post in all it's randomness. Enjoy if you can, post replies if ya want. Talk atcha'll later.

I asked Amanda and she grudgingly granted permission. At first it was just that she doesn't like me to leave. Sometimes I think that she doesn't like my friends, but that's ok. Not everyone likes everyone else. Then she confronted me (and it was a good confrontation as well) last night before I left and gave me someother reasons why she didn't want me to go. It was hard for her to say it and I fully understand them and I still love her even though she finally came out and said it.
Not in these exact words but pretty much, "Shape up or Ship out." I've been unemployed for about four months, and I haven't really done much about it myself. Which I think is the main thing that people are getting upset about. And I fully understand and I do side with them on that. If you've read my previous entry, this is another point towards me being evil.
I've always had people do things for me. I've never really had to do them myself, which is REALLY not a good thing. That's one major sideffect of being a mamma's boy. My mother always made my decisions for me, told me what to do, where to go, how to do it. I think that's why Military life appealed to me so much. They tell you what to do all the time. I've never really thought for myself... I always claim to be an individual, but actually I think I'm turning into one of those automotons. Dammit. *sigh*
Well, that's all that's on my mind really today so, I guess I'll talk to ya'll later,

Being unemployed and a generally unmotivated person are not a good combination, but it gives me LOTS of time to think and reflect on the past, present and future. And I have come to a conclusion.
I am evil.
Some points to back up my hypothosis. I have no friends. (and that is not a slight against them at all) I have never let anyone get close to me, I am superficial, and am so buried under masks and fakeness I don't know where I am or who I am. I've used everyone in my life for something. I usually use them for whatever I can and then pretty much discard them. You're not with my I can't use you. So, I'm a user. I'm manipulative, not very subtle all the time but hey. I'm like a virus. I latch on until everything's used up and then I move onto the next host.
If you can't tell by now, I'm in a really shitty place right now. I thought I've been depressed but nothing matches to what I'm feeling like right now. I think it's more of I've hit a breaking point and I just can't take it anymore. You can almost class this as a classic cry for help, but the only person that can help me is myself and I don't want to help myself... cuz I'm really starting to hate the person that I've become. Now the tears come dammit. I've been trying to cry for the past half a fuckin' hour and now I start crying. And now I've stopped.
I know some of you might reply by telling me to turn back to God. I'm pretty much gonna say, no. I still respect Him, and I will honour Him and will not speak out against Him, but for some reason I don't want anything to do with Him. Add hypocrite to my list of points as well. So yeah, all of you reading this, don't worry to much, I'm too much of an idiot to even think of taking my own life. It repulses me for some reason. So yeah, I'm just gonna end this here for now.
I...am...evil...

I'm like, "Wha?"
"You're the one that watched him put them in there." She said matter of factly.
"I didn't watch him do anything." I retort.
"Well, you're the one that said 'Yes' when he asked if you wanted some, so you're cleaning them up." and she briskly walks into the house and plops the stuff on the kitchen table and walks up stairs.
Meanwhile at the trunk, I'm wanting to tell her to go fuck herself and take a walk somewhere, but that would get me nowhere. So I clean them up, after getting supplies from the kitchen, and not a word from her. I get back in and again with the orders. "Chuck, put the food away." no please, just commanding. So instead of fighting it and causing a huge ass hubub, I put it away, and take out the kleenex as well. Not saying a thing to her, if she asks, I'm still contemplating wether I should give her the cold shoulder for the rest of the night or what. I still love her, but she's getting on my shit list right now. Anywho, hello and thankyou to anyone and everyone who keeps checking in on here. God bless y'all.

So yeah, haven't taken that TESL course yet. The whole reason to come to Ottawa was to take that course. But I'm not very good at savin' money. Usually when I got it, I spend it. But anywho, been thinkin' of getting into Carelton, possibly for English and some Language courses... thinkin' latin, Mandarin, Hebrew if they got it, maybe some other things... was thinking of taking Psychology, but I'm not sure. Don't know if I'm even going to get accepted or not... but from what one of the girls at work says, I think I have a better chance at getting in there then Ottawa U, that and it's closer. Kindda. *sigh*
So yeah, been downloading stuff on a new P2P program I got, called Limewire. It's pretty good. I've downloaded almost all the episodes of Samurai Deeper Kyo, there's about 24 or so out right now. Yeah, Amanda took me to do my taxes on friday, got about $700 back, paid about $100 to get it done, but at least I got the money right away. Paid off my visa, paid some money to Burbely for rent and stuff, and then bought four mangas from Chapters.com . Issues 1, 6&7 of Rurouni Kenshin, and issue 1 of Tokyo Tribes.
Yeah I'm just ramblin' on about nothin' inparticular, but that's ok. I think I should head to bed now. I'll see if I can write in here again soon... hopefully in less time then it took me from my last post. Anywho, talk to yall later.

So yeah, I'm going out with someone from work ^^ Her names Amanda. She's come on as a seasonal person, and we kindda hit it off. We didn't know where exactly we were going with the relationship, and she and I have pretty much the same thoughts on it. We don't want to get involved unless there could be something farther down the road. And though we're takin' this really slow, like I'm talkin' second date I didn't hold her hand until like 3am and we left at 11pm, and last night/this morning we saw National Treasure, and then went to her place til 4am and we didn't kiss until, well, around 4am. So yeah, we've done the first kiss... and we've both found out that we're a little rusty... I know some people will be sayin' "How can you be rusty at kissing?!" Trust me... when the last person you kissed was your girlfriend in grade.... 11 I think...so that's around 3-5 years( I know, I've lost count) you get a little rusty. So anywho, I gotta go, I start work at 11am, so I gots ta start movin' my booty... anywho, I'll write to y'all later.

Well, for all those out there who don't know, TESL stands for Teaching English as a Second Language. So I'm going to be taking that (please Lord God!) in November and then (again please Lord God!) go and teach in Taiwan. I've hopefully got some contancts in Taiwan, so I'm prayin' that they can put in a good word or three and get me in there. I just feel like I'm supposed to go there. I've already got one of the peeps from Taiwan here sayin' that they'd help me as much as possible, I just need to get hold of one of the others to see if she can do anything. The only downside is that, well, she's in Taiwan right now so I'll have to get Gloria or Ethan to help me call her. So anywho, I gotta go, work and all that. Also pray that I stay awake and stop feelin' so crappy. I feel like I'm gonna hurl. Love Y'all Chuck |

He has no respect for anyone (that I can observe)
He'll verbally assualt and push around whoever won't fight back
His laugh is one of the most annoying things I've ever heard
He wants to be included in everything yet won't make an effort at all
(I know, you can say I'm judging, nit-picking whatever, I'm just stating why I really really [borderline hate] this person)
So yeah, anywho, I gotta go.
Later all

"What the heck is he talkin' about eh?"
Well, I'm gonna keep y'all in the dark. HA HA!!
BUGS MUST DIE!!! I'm sorry, just getting eaten alive by some sort of really small flying insect. Anywho... Yup, now to the very fun and intersting stuff... DUH Duh duhhhhhhhhh... What's going on with Chuck's life. WAHHHH!!! NOOOO!! AHHHH!!! as everyone screams in panic and mass hysteria... now we're done. Good. Anywho, yup, talkin' to Ma today to find out when would be the best time to come home so I could take the TESL course, and we decided that takin' the September course at Ottawa would be good, and I could stay with my sister, or work something out, find a temp place to work for some quick cash and whatnot and then take and finish the course, and then go on me way! BUT! Damn I hate but's... I had this nagging feeling, that I'm not supposed to do that. So in essence, I may be back to, well not square one, maybe square two or three. I'm still leanin' towards leavin', but I'm going to try to weigh the options more on both sides and try to get some other peoples oppinions about all this, and get a little more in the prayer thing. Which hasn't been one of my strongest area's, but hey, I'm only human... that wishes I could be a cyborg, kind of thing. I'll explain that one some other time, if I remember about that. Well, had this idea about a pretty funky story, but I'm not sure how it'll work out, but anywho, I gotta go. Gonna go bug people or something.
Love y'all, and God Bless!
