Once upon a time there was a podcast to be created. We took on the challenge and everyone rejoiced.

Canadian Geographer
So, I was riding in the car with a new Canadian best friend. It just so happens that I work with a Canadian too. I asked him once where he was from and he said Alberta, or maybe it was Ontario. Oh well, either way, I then asked him where that place was. He continued to give me a Canadian Geography lesson. I was pretty stoked to say the least. Seems that I know all about Canada now. They’re pretty much the coolest people ever. I mean look at ’em! What other country can boast of having bands as cool as Bare Naked Ladies and Arrogant Worms? Um, none I think. Canada’s the only place.
Alright, down to brass tax. I know I kinda hinted at it in the previous paragraph, but I am feeling a strong urge to tell you flat out. I’m a Canadian Geographer. There, I said it. I know that some may mock, but never can I say that I didn’t follow my convictions.
Now in saying that I started the Canadian Geographer’s Club I want you to know that I can’t claim Canadian citizenship. I can only hope that someday I will be extended honorary citizenship, knighted, or even just given some plain tickets to the great white north.
Anyhow, let it be known that the Canadian Geographer’s Club is in session. Dues are not required, unless you’re not a Canadian OR a Geographer. In which case, you can’t join, sorry.
Oh, PS. Strange Brew makes me laugh. And if you do a search for “Rehpargeog Naidanac”, I’ll be number one. I’ll bet on it.
Sobriety?
Sobriety: abstaining from excess . . . hmm, naw, that’s not really the right word. Something that describes abstinence altogether is the word I’m looking for. Well, how about “abstinence” then? Alright, abstinence it is. This week’s been a good one. Abstinence being the key there. But also in addition to abstinence there’s been some feasting and some interacting and a smidgen of changing.
This week the goal is to increase the changing by stepping up the feasting, moderating the interacting, but still keeping it in a very prominent position. And the abstinence always remains a goal of course, but for now a 2 month goal is in place. Through this I hope and pray for light. Each day is a new day to seek light and as we do so we understand life a little bit more. By receiving a little light one need not suppose that they no longer need to seek light. Light only remains as we are actively seeking after it.
God be with me, my friends and family.

Sweet Caroline!
If you doubted what the coolest way to spend Friday night was…
For sure it was at the E-Center with my fam….
AND
Dum, dum, dum…
NEIL DIAMOND baby!
He’s getting older, but still puts on a great show! He’s got a band that’s been with him 30 years. Nuts!
He was crackin’ jokes about other people singin’ his Red Red Wine. Funny stuff.
Well, although there were no cameras allowed… someone I know *no names in case the NSA or FBI are zeroing in on this little covert operation* got these pictures. Thanks mystery person!
Truly nice beyond all niceness…
See that?! Neil says that I’m number one…Ryan’s number one! Okay, so he was pointing to a leak in the ceiling asking if they could get it fixed, but you weren’t there, you wouldn’t have known the difference.
A night to remember. Much better than the marathon, no broken hips, a plus.
Love to everyone!

deep emotion blog pause
It’s time for a break here on the deep soul searching blog of a would be king. Every time I sit down to blog I have an unsettled feeling and I would prefer, at least for now to write privately. When I have happy news to say I’ll let ya know. Otherwise…for my eyes only.
I guess for now I can let you know that I started on Monday back at my old job that I quit back in March to pursue my own business ventures. Business was slowing up and I heard that a full time position was available. I jumped and am happy to be back at 10x Marketing working full time.
Business now has picked up in December and we’ve had several $300-$400 dollar days. It never fails to surprise me. We’re up in sales from last year at this time and the business is moving right along. Spring should be even better.
I’m registered for my last semester of my undergrad and look forward to finishing that up. I’ll then dive into grad school prep.
I’m still prepping for my races. I started a half marathon training plan on Dec. 1 and I’ve stuck to it thus far. It feels good.
That’s the good stuffs. I hope it whets your appetite more than all my dismal posts about how hard life is… ;o) Life really is good. So many friends, so many opportunities, and so much hope. I love it!
Thanks peeps.
Ryan
