Sorean's Virtual Home

I really do, it’s been over a month since I’ve even thought to update this blog and yet so much has happened. I blame the advent of FB attributing to the decline of blogging. But in reality what is a blog other than a personal diary publicly shared with the world? Most of us lead pretty boring lives in the grand scheme of things. Well boring shouldn’t be the word there, probably something more along the lines of standard, predictable, something that everyone else has done. For example, last weekend I was in Toronto on a mini-vacation (predictable, everyone takes vacations) and for my sister’s university grad (standard, everyone goes to the major grad of someone in the family). I’ll detail the trip below, but I’m just using that as an example. Like I’ve said before, this is mostly for my own recollection as years pass us by. Someday I’ll forget all the little events that have brought me to a place 10 years down the road and it will be nice to look back and remember/reflect on little events that were nothing short of awesome or noteworthy enough to be put up on my little piece of the Internet.

So since the last update my brother was long for the long weekend. We did a few cool things like go to the Science center to see the Body Worlds exhibit, there were 11 penises throughout the whole exhibit, yes I choose to remember that because it was funny That aside though, it really was a cool display, bodies that are now encased in plastic put on for display so that the world can learn about what our insides look like. They had a cross section of a 300 pound man…. I never want to be that fat, ever, unless it’s some health reason I cannot control. Blackened lungs of a coal miner, a camel split into 3 to show the neck, an entire body done into a 10-14 cross section like a flip book on display were a few of the tastefully displayed bodies that were there. Can’t really remember what else we did except go out for food a few of the days. It was also the first time he met Chrystal.

Oh yeah, it was Chrystal’s birthday in there too! We went to see Iron Man 2, awesome movie. I’m actually a little behind cinematicly at the moment, I haven’t found the time to go see: The A-Team, The Karate Kid, or Prince of Persia. However, I have found the time to see Toy Story 3, such an awesome movie. I absolutely loved it.

A few weeks later it was off to Toronto for my sister’s grad as I mentioned before. Long days…. got in at midnight, up at 5 the next day local time, which was 3 AM here. It was a rough and long day, but it was well spent on time out, and then a good dinner with my sister, mom, brother, Chrystal, and 2 of my sister’s friends from high school. I know she’s in good hands, they seemed like very stand up guys and I still like to think I can get a good measure of a character when I first meet them.

The second day consisted of exploring the city. I touched the Stanley Cup and knelt before it’s awesomeness. I went up to the top of the CN Tower and had a nice relaxing night.

It was a whirlwind trip and oh so much fun, minus the heat, it sucked being on the 7th floor of a condo high rise. All of the nights Chrystal and I couldn’t even lay an arm on each other because it was too warm. And now it’s back to life as scheduled with work, contract work, volleyball and video games.

Speaking of video games I’ve almost all but quit WoW. It’s just habit now more than anything, when my current subscription ends, that will be the end of it, the end of my WoW career. Sad times, but Vegas in August will be the last big hurrah for all of us. I’m looking forward to that a lot. It will be a fitting ending.
