The Big Realization

There comes a point in everyone's life where they make a grand realization. Mine was on a packed bus, stuffed between the guy who decided not to shower that day and the girl with the kitten hat who always seems to be smiling (more on her later). I was thinking how strange my life had become and then it hit me...my life would make the BEST sitcom.

Now, I don't claim to be some big shot, punk ass screen writer who can sit around on my ass all day and write witty satire or heartwarming lines that make your heart melt. Hell, I can barely write an email that doesn't have the reader falling asleep at the 2nd word. So mostly I'm just capitalizing on this whole "free speech" idea (I seem to have a lot of blogs, and none of them very good.) I also realize that most normal people don't give two shits about my life or the fact that I am constantly surrounded by the weird and wonderful. But to be totally honest, I don't really care about those people, they are probably boring and are clearly jealous of the VERY exciting life I choose to lead (since this is the interwbs, I realize I have to explain that was sarcasm).

For those of you who do choose to read my disgusting ramblings...umm...thanks?

Okay, so as I was saying, I seem to have this fantastic knack for the ridiculous. I have often found myself in certain situations and later realized that perhaps I should have just walked away.

As my roommate so eloquently said to me the other day..."Wow, you've been through a lot of shit man."

Fair enough, I have been through a lot of shit in my days.

Alright, so I'm going to lay down some details about myself so you get the whole picture (nothing to pervy, so if that's why your here...zip your pants back up).

I'm one of those, underpaid, over educated university types. Okay, maybe not OVER educated...if I'm being totally honest probably a little UNDER educated. I get most of my "material" if you will, from the wonderful people around me. University really is a bountiful cornucopia(yeah, I used a big word there) of people.
I also come from one of THE best provinces in the world...Alberta. Or as some call it "The Texas of Canada". Yup. That pretty much sums up all that needed to be said there.
For the win...I'm a vegetarian, or vegan(depending on the day). Yeah...one of THEM.
For now, that's all you really need to know to understand WHY I have so many interesting people and situations to write about.

So, if you haven't fallen asleep already, (I know I did somewhere around the second or third line), bear with me. I mean even if you use this blog as way to look at your own life and say "shit, at least that didn't happen to me. My life is good" then at least I've gotten you to read my blog.

And really...isn't that all a young, starving, university student with nothing to contribute to the world, could ask for?
