I'm a mountain that has been moved
I'm a fugitive that has no legs to run
I'm a preacher with no pulpit
Spewing a sermon that goes on and on...
I welcome thee, Mr. Tuesday
Building up to my last exam, my excitement for the summer was immense. I was striving for one thing alone – freedom.
However, now that I have it, I do not really know what to do with myself. I found myself doing "homework" just to fill my time. It is strange how we can be so ruthless to striving for an objective that when we fulfill our ambitions, we are unsure what to do next. We love the drive. The lack there of makes us feel a little cooped up.
No matter!
I have been a busy boy these past few days. I have taken the time to reconnect with my friend as much as possible. For the past few days I have spent mostly either in fellowship with one of my friends or planning future gatherings. As I have said before, I really do enjoy those people that have 'chosen' me. They give me a certain kind of life-force. I love it!
I am not sure what it is but I have not exactly been comfortable in the quiet moments of my past few days. Perhaps it could be the lack of direction I spoke up just above but I think it is something more. I know I am pretty introspective about employment this year. I have an opportunity this summer to work for Hamilton Humane Wildlife Control (HHWC). This is basically a nice way of saying "non-lethal pest control". I am very excited for the prospect but I am not 100% sure.
My parents would prefer to see me at a provincial park or conservation area. I think they are concerned about me getting another nasty infection (or worse, some sort of disease). Also, I do know they feel provincial parks and Jeffrey are a perfect match. I agree with them but I do not want to miss an opportunity to expand my skill sets.
Part of me also would like to work at an occupation that was a little less intense. I will be honest; working my bum off at school has sapped some of my energy. I would rather enjoy a summer that was in at least some part relaxing. HHWC would be a lot of climbing, crawling, hammering, carrying and digging. I would prefer to just show kids and their parents around a park and explaining the various ecological systems currently being displayed by such and such scene.
Oh well. I will figure it out. I am going to Toronto to have some fun. That should keep my mind off of things.

Question of the Journal: Sadly, we are consumers – what is going to be your next purchase?
I am thinking mine will be "The Modern World/Dangerous Offspring" by Steph Swainson (book) or "A Natural Death" by HORSE the Band (CD).
I hope all is well in the land of your realm. Brush your teeth at least twice a day and remember to love each other.

June 26th, 2013: I Am Still Alive
Greetings,
If by any chance there are still those who await my next submission or merely a journal entry, then this one is for you.
As my friend :deviantspankreas: pointed out, it has been over a year since the last time I did this. A great deal and very little has happened in that time. I have been completing my biology degree at Trent University, living in Peterborough, and generally slowly losing my mind. Why? – I have this hunger to be finished with school. I am sure that will change when I get a "real" job (which might prove difficult) and yearn to be back in courses where my only obligation is to learn and write some reports.
I have
June 24th, What I Have Become
Hello again,
It has been a while and, regrettable, I do not have that much to report on. Life this summer has been carrying on at a steady pace. I can hardly believe that it is the end of June. There are only two more months until I must return to Trent University for Year Two of my Biology degree. I am actually quite optimistic about. The course titles of the classes I will be taking are "Fish Ecology", "Ornithology", "Non-Calculus Statistics" and "Animal Physiology".
The BIG bonus is that the Resource Conservation team I work with is amazing this year. Every day I feel I am working with my peers rather than just a bunch of random people.
May 12th, Afraid of Feeling Alone?
It has been three months.
In that time I have done three things:
1) Become ever closer to my girlfriend of 1.5 years
2) Finished my first year of university (4th year of post-secondary)
3) Was re-employed at St. Lawrence Islands National Park
My brain has been in a very reflective state as of late. I believe the main reason for this is the fresh air that I have been getting since my job is in the great outdoors. A good mixture of nitrogen, oxygen and argon with small amounts of other gases always gets the old gears turning. While pondering I have come to the conclusion that doing what is right for you is not selfish – it is a fundam
February 13th, One is not like the Other
I have been holding something inside for a while and it is time it has come out. The best therapy is to just admit your troubles, I find. Since I have calculated that I have 4-5 active watchers and about 5-6 more people that stumble upon my page now and then I have little fear of offending anyone. I actually like that we are this close-knit dA family. Alas…I am getting side-tracked.
Since 2008, I have been to three different post-secondary institutions. Two have been colleges and one has been a university. At the first college I took general education and took courses in report writing, Canadian identity, anthropology and psychology. Wh

I detect some unsettled waters; "I have not exactly been comfortable in the quiet moments of my past few days". It sounds, to me, like you might well benefit from more of the same - i.e. quiet moments. That is to say, some peace, to be still, to clear your head.
Given the amount of energy you've been expending on academics, I would recommend that you choose something that will allow you to recharge your batteries. Have you checked them lately?
QOTJ: Eww. What an ugly word - "consumer", although of course, you're correct. My response is; CDs, as in the burning variety.
Stay safe and well.
