6:18 pm	got called in earlier to work today.. i got a phone call about 9 that woke me.. I had a phone call yesterday from subway where i dropped off a resume like 4 months ago.. it was busy today.. and busy when i got there so i didnt have time to quit.. Ill have to do it on Friday.. Going to see Buck 65 tonight,, that should be fun.. got tomorrow off.. have a few things to organise... maybe skate if its not raining.. It rained tuesday morning then fined up.. Remy and I went for a skate about 630/7 the sun was still out,, I had a good skate.. Going to See Moneen again.. tomorrow night.. looking forward to that... Anita took some cool and crazy photos at the party last weekend on my camera.. that party was lots of fun.. Its only 4 more weeks till im leaving Vancouver. its going to go soo quickly,. there is 5 of us who have tickets so far.... going to hire a car or minivan and drive down the west coast.. Going to Coachella music festival, its a two day festival in Indio California.. we are camping onsite.. So many good bands playing... looking forward to it.. as well as the drive down the west coast.. going to be sooo much fun... www.coachella.com I got a treeplanting job in Ontario,, i start on May 7th.. I work 6 days on 1 day off,, its going to be really hard work.. though i will be albe to save some money not being in the city.. i finish on july 1st so 2months of hard work will be followed by two months of fun.. been looking into airfares.. not sure wheather to drive back to Vancouver then fly to Toronto from here, to get a return or a single... or fly one way and get a one way back to Calgary in July.. Or to get a one way flight from Sanfrancisco and spend a couple of days there rather than driving back to vancouver.... but tickets from the states seem to be more expensive then flights between canada.. hmm.. ill have to decide soon as i want to have tickets booked by next week,.. im hungry,, im off home to eat some food.... later yo...
