Santa Claus Parade – 2003

2 December 2003

In November 2003 I had created the following graphics for the Saint John Santa Claus Parade. Due to their success, they were also used with an adapted logo for the Fredericton version of the Parade. Unfortunately, the Fredericton version of the logo has been lost. It looked just like the Saint John version. The two reindeer were named Fred and Larry, There was a 3rd one Phil but the third one was never used on-air.

Where have I been?

17 November 2003

I have left all my blogger fans in the dark for 26 days now and it is now time to update you on what has gone on.

1st- After months of complaining on October 21st I received the call that I had been offered a job at Client Logic, and for the past 3.5 weeks I have worked there and loving it.

2nd- I’ve been working on the Intro for the Saint John Santa Claus Parade, which turned out to be an immense success. I am working on adding a section to my site to show off some of my Photo Shop stuff. It will be flash intensive and will be launched in early 2004. Other plans for this site is to bring back the calendar, and finally get a domain name.

3rd-I’ve been sick all the first half of November.

4th- I’m sorry I have not added anything to my novel, I will add some more this year.

I’ll blog again soon

Little biters

22 October 2003

Shew mutt!!!

This morning I was bitten but a little black dog, that lives up the street. This dog truly was an ankle bitter as he bit me in the ankle.

Today I paid off my New Brunswick Student Loan that is a $2662 of debt I no longer have to worry about.

What’s UP!!!

19 October 2003

Hello all,

I’ve just had dinner at my mothers, and am ready to take on this new week. I am determined that by the end of this week I will finally have a job.

And as asked for I will have an update on my novel by the end of the week. I’ve had several requests about what happens to Roger and as soon as I figure it out I will add about 1000 new words to my novel.

Have a great week!

My new portraits

3 October 2003

I’ve just got back my new portraits from Sears this week.
General

Wow, what a week!!!

23 September 2003

Not much is different from the past several weeks except, I have received 2 calls in the past two days, from places I dropped off resumes at, none of which were from my top 5 list but at least I received a call. Next up is I have looked into getting my driver’s license, I was impressed with the very good information I got from Young Drivers I think I will go with them as soon as I can conjure up $549.

Onto the third topic, I’m excited about the new TV season, after about three years there is good TV. So after seeing the shows here is my TV Top Ten List:
10. Too Close to Call (Rogers Television) I just had to add one that I help make. And Dave Deline is very Interesting.
9. Trading Spaces (TLC) It kinda makes you want to get off the couch and do some decorating… Kind of
8. Malcom on the Middle (Global) This is a truly funny show.
7. Trailer Park Boys (Showcase) I just love stupid Canadian Shows.
6. 8 Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter (ABC) This is just a classic great show.
5. Everybody Loves Raymond (Global) How can you not love Raymond.
4. Undergrads (Teletoon) I hope there will be new episodes or I will have to remove this listing.
3. Enterprise (Space/ASN) Although not one of the best “Star Trek (sort of)” series it is interesting to see how the crew manages to stay alive without shields.
2. The ScreenSavers (TechTV) This is the ultimate show on technology.
1. Dead like Me (The Movie Network) This show just rocks, I feel like I can just connect with George. We live similar lives except she is a Grim reaper.

All for now!!!

What’s up!!!

14 September 2003

While this week has been remarkably interesting. I’ve left Saint John twice this past week. On Tuesday, I went to Fredericton and on Wednesday I went to Moncton, both days to help shoot promos for the upcoming season on Rogers Television. I’ve also had two rolls of film developed recently, some of the pictures have turned out well. I’ve also got a set of digital pictures as well. I’ll be formatting them and posting them as 3 new photo albums on my website. I’m going to use html format and not the flash because I found a program that makes them automatically and is a lot easier.

I’ve also was doing TV Bingo this past week; it is great to have it back. Especially since Jeff and Tony are the best.

This week I’m going to continue some job hunting on Monday and Tuesday. And on Monday at 11:15 I have an appointment to have photos taken at the Sears Portrait Studio.

New Blogger Features!!!

14 September 2003

I’ve played with some of the new features, and they truly improve the blogging experience. The main one is the spellcheck feature. I’ve fixed all the spelling in my blog back to mid July. It would take too long to fix the blog back to December of 2002 when I started blogging. Another feature I like is the post title. It gives it the ease of deciding what post you want to see.

The Hunt

8 September 2003

I think I will be staying home today and then go job hunting again tomorrow.

The Past

28 April 2003

For the years have gone
All the good times passed
With lasting impressions
Rarely to be seen again.

For the years have gone
All your friends have moved on
With lasting impressions
Rarely to be seen again.

For the years have gone
All the songs being sung.
With lasting impressions
Rarely to be seen again.
