Digging Deep

I will now be taking a turn with my blog; instead of entertaining fluff and stories that humiliate myself for the sake of your delight. I will be digging deep....
................ digging deep into my thoughts, my mind, my soul. I will dig deep and whatever plunder I find, I will lay it all on the table for you to see.

I have done some initial digging and this is what I've found ...
... a treasure chest filled with lead,
..........a box filled with snakes and scorpions, and
................a bottle of numbing poison.

Obviously those are metaphors - metaphors to represent heavy burdens, internal conflicts, dilemmas, and things that chip away at your soul.

Sounds depressing?

It is only depressing because I don't know what to do...
It is a lose-lose situation...
........It is like asking out an ugly girl.
1) if she says yes, you got an ugly girl,
2) if she says no, you just got rejected by an ugly girl. (okay, that's the last metaphor).

(Don't worry - I will continue my "Adventures in Fort McMurray"...though it seems a better name would be "Fort Mac Funnies".)

Traffic Jams

Traffic jams in Fort McMurray. Yes. Hard to believe. It has a population of ~120,000 people and I have experienced longer traffic jams here than the ones where you come home from camping on a long weekend in the Lower Mainland.

My pants are ripping (my fight against fat and weight gains - Pt 2)

WOW, seriously... I thought I had my weight gains under control but apparently I haven't - now look... I'm bursting at the seams!
