It's a nice day to start again

There has been so precious little to talk about or update the lot of you on that it really hasn't warranted a post. My apologies for my lack of moving and shaking - I've just been so damn busy settling and staying.

I seem to be fitting really well in my new position, sucking up new data like an information sponge. I was feeling semi-nervous about filling the shoes of the employee before me, but I've resolved to do things my way and put my own personal touch on my position. After all, I have a kind of "flaunt it if you've got it" approach to business and I'm determined to leave the most positive impact that I can in the shortest amount of time. The main benefit of the lengthy job hunt/interview period that I went through after university was that I got to know myself professionally. Being in tune with my own strengths and weaknesses has helped me to focus my sights on what I want to achieve and how I can go about reaching those goals.

Finally, I've decided to start putting some funds away for the future and getting some investments going. It feels really damn good to have a sort of long-term plan other than to someday be really freaking awesome. Yep, I now have a means to reach that lofty goal.

On top of all that I'm looking into supplemental income options. Freedom 35, baby.

My sister has completely ruined White Wedding for me. She's a very twisted individual who clearly likes twisting my wonderful, empowering conceptions of Billy Idol. Well played, sister.

In conclusion, Future 1 - Billy Idol 0.

Why even bother?

I was going to come on here tonight and just start talking, spouting off ideas and insight until the letters blended together in an intricate symphony of brilliance. I was going to solve world problems and make our country an even better place to live. I was going to do so much.

So here I sit, having just played soccer, downed an Arctic Orange milkshake, and chased it with a bottle of Moosehead. It's safe to say that you're not getting brilliance at all tonight. Frankly, I don't even know why I'm not in bed. What you are getting though is a series of fairly random thoughts.

1) The Bourne Supremacy is a-freakin-mazing. Go see it. If you have any movie-loving bone in your body you'll take the time to watch it and love it. I did, and I'm a better person for it. If you didn't like the first one then damn you and such. This is definitely one of the best two movies I've seen this summer.

2) The Anchorman is easily as funny as TBS (see #1) is amazing. Again, you need to see it. If you don't I'm going to punch you in the ovary. Relax, that's just a line from the movie. I wouldn't actually punch you in the ovary. Well, that is unless you're a guy with ovaries. I can't really be responsible for my actions should that particular situation arise, can I? When in Rome...

3) I'm really looking forward to Trailer Park Boys season five on DVD. I don't know when it's coming, but it is. Also, season five should be on Showcase this fall and promises to be as great as the last four. Just remember, a shit-leopard never changes his spots.

4) I scored five (5!) goals today in soccer. Sometimes when I look at myself I can't believe how awesome I am.

That's all I can muster tonight. Tune in some other time for something with a little more direction. Hopefully I'll have consumed a much more sensible before-bed meal.
