I'm a Dreamer (but Most of my dreams have Turned into a Nightmare)!

I've never used this personal website or weblog as a news site and sometimes I like about the news that interest me so I can come back to them years later to see what I was doing then! 

I made a bad and irrational decision in 2016 to join CAF. I wasted the entire year leaving on EI (I know it's so stupid!) with the hope that I can make the career of my life with the RCN. Wrong! It was tougher than I had thought. At least for me who is a very impatient person. So I decided to leave. When my comrades were asking me what was new. I used to name one of the most famous Ozzy O.'s songs: Mama I'm coming home! It was a 5 months of most of waste but rather than the money I made (The CAF pays you during your training, as an officer-in-training it was significant back in the day!), I also learnt what I was not good at! Nevertheless those days are long gone and I'm on a straight but bumpy road and I know I'm doing until my retirement day but that Ozzy's song has remained one of my all time favorite as well as his " Dreamer ". I'm a dreamer as well, just like Ozzy! The only difference is that most dreams have turned into a nightmare! 

I never dreamed about a big house or a luxury car, a beautiful wife or lots of money. I grew up in a household that everything was available to me and when I left home and came to Canada shortly after that, most of the time, I lived the way I wanted because I always lived modestly and knew my limits. My only dream has always been travelling to the countries I wanted and scrambling the mountains I like. These are the things that not everyone can do. Even the richest! I believe I still have time and I'm hoping that I can make it to a few countries that I always wanted to visit and hike up the mountains I wanted. I'm not going to talk about political dreams at all! That's up to artists such as Lennon and Osborne! Nevertheless losing another music icon is sad, especially in this day and age that there are many posers around(!) but everyone's going. For me British bands have always been my favorites: Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Def Leopard, Dire Straits, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Coldplay, and of course Black Sabbath and Ozzy. I listed Ozzy's band as the last one, not to be disrespectful. Just because I like other bands' style better and no doubt that the two above singles of Ozzy's are amongst my all time favorites.
