Tomorrow I start a new chapter in my life. I fly to Calgary tomorrow morning, and I will pretty much start to look for a job right away. Hopefully I will have something by the end of the week. I'm not nervous about leaving, I am actually excited about moving out and exploring new opportunities! I have been reading a book lately called Miracle in the Andes, about the rugby team who's plane crashed in the Andes and they were lost for 72 days, eating the flesh of the others who didnt survive the crash in order to stay alive. Anyways, at one point in the book, the father of the man who hiked over 70 miles to save the survivors says to his son "Dont let this be the best thing that happens to you". What a powerful statement! Things that have happenend in the past are amazing, such as going to Dordt, all my friends there, and the amazing times we have had together, but I shouldnt make that the best thing that has happenend to me. If I look forward to things that are better, that will be what I will get! Like the game, Bigger or Better. From this point on, I will live my life Bigger or Better!
Tonight I hung out with a friend from high school I havent seen all summer because he was away. It was good to see him, he is a crazy guy, and we had fun laughing at his dogs who were having fun getting sexual favours from his brothers new puppy(poor thing). He is going to school in Edmonton, but his girlfriend will be in Calgary, so hopefully I can see them lots! She seems very nice, and even offered me a ride with her to Edmonton sometimes on the weekend!
Today I also got a cell phone, a pretty snazzy one at that. It can play MP3's. Cell phones and plans sure are confusing though, they are probably the form of technology that I understand the least. If you want to call me, go ahead, I have unlimited incoming(if I understood it right), and my number is 403-993-8426! I'll try to set up facebook on there, but Im not sure if it works in Canada, so we'll see. Otherwise you can email me, or send me a text, and I'll get back to you! Keep in touch everyone!
Until I post again,
Mark
