| My Last Information Session ... #57 - 16 July 2007
This will be my last entry in this blog. I'm sure at least two persons have read it - Robbie did all in one session. What this is and will remain to be, is a record of a fantastic year. Seventeen thousand hits means it was enjoyed by many, or just by Gabe several thousand times... either way. This doesn't mean I'm disappearing, but it does mean I've got better things to do. If you want good times, you should know how to find me. My trip was awesome. Come drop by if you'd like to hear about or see what I found. Throughout the whole trip a lovely lady back at home kept my mind off of every girl I saw and have seen since. What does that mean? I'm not single anymore and am head over heels crazy about her. People who say that life is too short are people who don't enjoy every moment of life. I'm not one of those people and I'm not going to waste my time on computers, it's just not fun. [Ed: Do you like all the negatives in the sentence about being positive?] So put away your computer, go lemonade a friend, walk through a rainstorm, sit in an inflatable pool, go get fit, and remember to play. Do whatever you'll enjoy most at any given moment and every year will be the best of your life. Respectfully signing off, Greg Paterson Thank you to everyone who makes life so grand. |

Information Session #56 - 5 June 2007
I'm leaving for one month. I'm leaving on June 6th to Halifax for two days of glory - followed by a day in Iceland. Three weeks of travels by cruise ship, car, train plane and uni-cycle through Norway beginning in Oslo are to commence. On the return I get to leave my mark in Iceland again for several more days before returning through Halifax again. Ohh. OOOOHHhhhh. OOOOOGOD I need a towel. I will be out of contact unless I decide to make a phone call so don't even try to call. You can email me but it'd better be entertaining for when I return. I return for the 3rd of July, just before the Transformers movie comes out. Giddyup. Greg P - delightfully unemployed P.S. The supa-troopa-nurfa will get you if you try to contact me. |

Information Session #55 - 24 May 2007
I could really get used to this whole 'unemployment' thing. That was in quotes for no apparent raisin. I'm definitely digging the full-time hobbies and doing entirely as I please. Although I've never been called a bastard so many times. It usually follows two moments after "So Greg, what are you doing with your summer?" A promptly expelled case of ye olde food poisining saw me crack my skull on our new hard floor. Waking up in a pool of blood is certainly a new experience. This is what Tim and Andy came home to last Tuesday: I can't imagine what ran through thier overworked heads first... I was given the distinguished honour of morning dining with the ever-wonderful Andie. Given the level of delight of our breakfast gatherings I would (never again) not pass up the opportunity for a photoshoot. Said photoshoot quickly erupted into an all our nerf assault. In the end, we both won and my newfound scar made me look very badass! On a few other notes, I really dug the laser-sketching photo shoot. I'm a little jealous of my bruised companion whom is spending a week up in Northern Saskatchewan photographizing to her hearts content - but I'm still revelling in the fact that I leave for Halifax, Reykjavik, and Norway in just under two weeks. Baby. Greg P - Sunrise comes quickly after sunset - and clouds can easily ruin the latter... |

Information Session #54 - 12 May 2007
My first weekend in my new place saw the first of what will likely be many dicin' parties. This de-flowering party of sorts was a Toga party. "Warming of house thing! Now with added Toga." The party was really stellar! Tim and I bought bring cloth to make bedsheets, his has the pink elephants, mine has little frog princes and hearts. No, no, is too sexy! Andy constructed a lawn gnome into a recirculating rum fountain. We named it Gilligan the Gnarly Gnome (alt. Gnome Chomsky). It did work. Initially Gilligan would essentially projectile vomit rum into a tupperware, which in turn sprayed onto the counter, then the rum trickled down his beard until enough collected in the bottom for him to spray again. It was the funniest thing of the week. We'll definitely have to rework it, the bored engineers - what could possibly go wrong?* I would estimate that every had a togalicious time. I'm looking forward to the next time we decide to throw a shaker! The SEXGONG was introduced to everyone. Many people do not understand the concept still. Perhaps a sign and explanation is required... Either way, I tried to stop Nick from ringing it - he then punched me in the balls. As a natural reaction I proceeded to hit him back in his testicles in a similar fashion. He then kicked me in my testes. I spent the next few minutes talking to him while laying on my lawn recovering. A good portion of the evening was spent following around Brodie's friend who I didn't know while he ran around in my Flash costume taking pictures. Last night was great times with best kind.

Information Session #53 - 7 May 2007
As of the first of May I am now living in a new house with three equivalently insane MoFos. On that note we're throwing a TOGA-themed housewarming party. If you're a friend you're invited. I'm pumped to live in a new house, cook & clean on my own and generally kick life's ass with the power of my unemployment of wonder. This weekend I took part in an adventure to Kelowna, BC for the Sunflicker Ultimate Frisbee Tournament! I have discovered the Ultimate has the capacity to replace everything I loved about university. It provides an excellent and ample amount of opportunity to travel and meet kickass people from all over the country. A collection of discs - instead of shot glasses to motivate me to travel. Unlike school, it is great exercise and provides alot of very sexy opportunity to be outside. This is also way more enjoyable. There is no gorgeous local Campus of Ultimate for me to hang out in everyday, but based on the ages of the people I partied with at the tournament this will last alot longer than University did! The tournament itself was pure gold. We camped out in a sweet spot near Lake Okanagan. There was a dog named Luke there with a beard. There were 24 teams (we travelled farthest!) I played with the Regina team '5-year-olds with Sticks' and I travelled with Kalindi and the Saskatoon team. They are definitely best kind! We did poorly, after a 2-2 round robin finish, we lost both playoff games thanks to a severely hung-over team. I wore my Flash costume for most of our games, it was very hilarious! I love running in that thing! The party Saturday night was incredible. The had a digital-mixing DJ remixing stuff like Under the Sea and Inspector Gadget. Not far away from the GAZEBO UNIT was a campfire that was struggling trying to sing some songs. Next thing you know some jackass who had been wheening off of the free tap of Strongbow, Flash mask in hand, starting singing Hakuna Matata. It caught on as I said it would. BERT! Fourteen hours in a passenger van with comfy and funny people was much better then one would expect. The best part though is that the knee injury I suffered last year which I thought was making a comeback was not affected by 4 hours of agility running and sprints. Dee-lightful!
