HOV

I’m so tired at the moment. Keeping my eyes open is a very difficult task but I want to write because I want to be up when my friend comes back from work. So I’m writing about what happened in the morning.
I rented a damn truck to go to Squamish and get my stuff. I took Highway 1 and it was very busy at that time of the day: rush hour. I was trying to get to Squamish as fast as I could because the rent was only up to 02:00 PM and any time after that would make it more expensive. I didn’t know what the cause is at the beginning. I thought there was an accident or may be cars are exiting the Highway and that made that mess. But it was the regular daily rush hour. And then I told myself: How about lane 3? Why isn’t anybody taking that? May be because people are exiting the highway and the exit road’s busy!
So I turned my signal on and got into lane 3, while I didn’t know that it was HOV! Let me tell you what HOV is. Part of Highway 1 in British Columbia has a third lane which is marked and called HOV. That stands for Highly Occupied Vehicle. Vehicles having two or more passengers can drive in this lane and as you noticed 2 is not highly occupied! There’re stories about people who fraudulently misuse HOV but I didn’t want to be one of them! I looked up and there was a sign: Two vehicles, a sedan and a bus or a truck and a diamond underneath them. I said to myself again: That’s me. The truck’s me! and pushed the gas pedal harder!
I always check my side view mirrors and this time I did too. What I saw was about to gives me a heart attack: A police cruiser, my all time favourite, Crown Victoria! I checked off and on and decided to move back to lane 2 and then 1. The good thing is the cops were not able to see how many passengers are inside. So I decided to slid in lane 2, I turned my left signal and got in! My heart beat gone up! The cruiser got closer and my goodness ... that was a damn cab! I had another narrow escape!

Planted in Coquitlam

I’m back in Canada after spending about one month abroad. I planted myself in my friend’s apartment in Coquitlam. S. J. whose story has been told recently is my host. I probably move to Alberta soon but first I have to decide whether or not I’m going to Boston or not.
I will be doing job hunting in the meanwhile. I talked to Ali G. yesterday following his invitation to Lethbridge but found out that I only have a week to spend in there because he’ll be the host of few guests soon. So I’ll e-mail him and let him know that I will be there in late July if there’s a need. I will write about my trip home in coming posts soon.

Right from YVR

I'm writing this right from YVR. I'm flying to Heathrow tonight and the plane was supposed to leave at 08:30 PM but I checked the website and found out the 30 min. delay. I have not been to many airports but this is the first time that I access Internet free of charge.
This international departure hallway is almost empty and British Airway's flight to London seems the only flight scheduled for tonight from here.
Koln/Bonn, Frankfurt, Berlin, Copenhagen, Lester B. Pearson, Saskatoon, Damascus and Calgary are the airports that I've been to so far but can recall anyone with free Internet access service.
I used Internetcalls and called Mom. She was happy and surprised when I said I would fly in half an hour. My cousin called me before that, to check on me. We spent more than 2 hours today to buy a birthday gift for my fiance. I finally bought a diamond necklace for $499.99 from Peoples. It went up all the way to almost $560. I think I made a mistake and when I told Mom she said that I could give it to her at the time of ceremony. That's supposed to be a birthday gift. I'm always the same kind of guy: Doing something and then regret it.

Stop Running Around

I had an argument with A. J. yesterday and he said that he no longer needed me. I was not shocked or confused. I know his situation. The project which was supposed to be finished in Sep. of the last year is still running! Although we are down to the last steps but he completely ran out of money and is using his line of credit and credit cards, I guess. Even if this is not true, he has spent so much money and time on this project that it will never be profitable, if he sells it. But he has to finish the damn thing anyway and list it.
The funny thing is he asked me to postpone my travel and change my ticket to May.31. I have bought one for May.21. I didn't say no. I didn't want to be harsh on him because he's already in shit. Besides my stuff will be in the house which is planned to be turned to four town houses.
So I'm leaving this Wed. for Heathrow and then Iran to see my love and come back in a month or so and will go to Calgary to see if I can get a job. I have learnt a lot but the most important thing is to keep the communications up and running.
I saw David, the framer today in The Home Depot parking lot and said goodbye to him. He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met in my life. He, after I told him about my travel said: I hope one day you stop from running! I just laughed but now I say: I hope too!
And one thing I know is he will probably get help from his brothers for the projects, either financially or physically and that's one reason why he asked me to leave in addition to the other one I just mentioned.

Popular, All of a Sudden!

I somehow once got in to this website Searchsex and opened an account. I have being receiving notifications indicating women who are interested in me ever since! That’s very unusual because my profile shouldn’t attract anyone in Canada at all. Just look at the key features:
Height: 5’ 8”
Circumcised: Cut
Hair: Dark Brown
So who needs someone short and his dick is cut in this land full of blond handsome guys with big dicks?! I checked a few profile and they were Asian girls. The profiles are not accessible now. I have to be a member. I decided to be one and pay whatever it takes to just see if it’s fraud or not. I also have a profile – that one as a standard member too – in Adultfriendfinder but never received any attention from anybody. That could be because of the class of the club. I assume that the people who get nothing go to Searchsex!
Anyhow I will write about it if I get any response after I become a member.

Back to McDonald’s

My New Year’s resolution was not going to fast food restaurants and also not eating as much as I do esp. because my fiancĂ© mentioned that and yes she’s right. But I haven’t reached my goal. You imagine someone who has no good job, has no car, has no friend, has no money, has no free time and is not welcomed in most of the public places. What would he do? Some people drink. Like Hodani does. I eat. And I eat a lot. Sometimes I watch but at times I start eating like someone who has been banned from any kind of food.
I wrote in one of the recent post about the argument I had with one young girl in Tim Horton’s. I first received a call from their customer service and there was a lady who apologized. Then she said that she would give my number to the store manager. He called me I guess a few days after that and I made the same comment about racism. He denied that very politely and gave me the owner’s number and asked me to give him a call and talk to him. I obviously didn’t call him because the bastard was the one who’s supposed to call me to apologize but he didn’t. So I stopped going there and whenever I need a coffee or a breakfast sandwich I go to McDonald’s. The good thing is I don’t eat that crappy doughnut of Tim Horton’s anymore but at times I miss its coffee and soaps. The coffee is made by me at home most of the time and soap can be obtained from some restaurants. But overall I have to stop eating that much. And finally I have to think to what to do with that motherfucker redneck owner of Tim Horton’s. Fuck him so hard in the ass that cries like crazy. I will find a good piece of advice for him soon. I have to.
