You never know how much you love your life until you go away from it for a while. Coming back I missed my country, I missed my home and I missed my friends. Although in this whole process, coming home had one problem. I now miss my family. I have three older brothers and in Mexico the last one got married. I am happy for him and to tell you the truth don't really notice a difference. He wasn't home all that much to begin with, however I keep thinking that it is going to hit me soon enough.
As for Mexico, I wouldn't go again. I mean it was a nice experience and my brother has awesome wedding photos, but Mexico for me was not all it was cracked up to be. I was expecting to go to Mexico and eat spicy food that makes my eyes water and my nose run. However the hottest thing I ate while I was down there was dipping sauce from when we got pizza at Domino's Pizza in the airport. Out of 22 people there about 9 got sick, including myself. Weather it was heat stroke or the food we ate, a lot of people just didn't feel right. Including my mother who is still sick from catching some kind of bacteria while she was there. All and all however the trip was beautiful. I did get some what of a tan, which I think was pretty good considering the fact that I don't tan and am one of the pastiest people I know.
When I got home I was glad to be here, seeing everyone again was fantastic. However yesterday I seem to have caught the flu bug and have been feeling really lousy the past couple of days. Which brings me to the question of why is it when we get sick we always want our mothers? It seems odd. Why not our fathers, or friends? I am hoping I will be over it by tomorrow. I have plans to go see Prince of Persia with some friends, and also have to work. So I can't miss that.
As for not commenting on every ones blogs, I promise I will do that as soon as I am up and running again. Have a good weekend!

Mexico
Here I am in the main entrance, the only place for Internet, in Cancun Mexico. Its cloudy yet hot, and its really nice to just relax. Although I must admit I do miss constantly being busy. I'm not one of those people who can just lay there and stare at a ceiling for hours on end, and although the sea is rough and is filled with coral, the pools are fabulous. Sitting by the pool drinking virgin pina coladas is fantastic. The only problem with this trip, is it would be perfect with my friends here. Yes my family is here, but because it is my brothers wedding everyone is so busy planning that and fussing around. I have only been here for two days now, so I will update everyone when I get back and let you know how it went. For now here is some photos. Enjoy

I've Been Tagged
So I have been tagged, by Shannon over at Faith, Hope and Love, which is actually kind of cool.
Question 1. Where were you 5 years ago?
I was just finishing 9th Grade. That was a good year, however I am happier where I am today.
Question 2. Where would you like to be 5 years from now?
In 5 years time I would like to be finished one film and hopefully have it in the theaters for my family and friends to see. I would like to own my own home and travel quite a bit.
Question 3. What was (is) on your list to do today?
Well today I had to go back to work after having 2 days off, which wasn't all that bad. Later today I might hang out with a friend, maybe get some gas in my car.
Question 4. What 5 snacks do you enjoy?
Chocolate covered almonds, M&Ms, apples, smoothies, cheese and crackers, and ice cream.
Question 5. What would you do if you were a billionaire?
If I was a billionaire I would pay off everyone in my immediate families debt. Pay a contractor to fix up the house we live in now and to build my parents dream home in Newfoundland. I would go to Vancouver Film School instead of Toronto Film School, invest, buy myself a new car. Pay off my friends debt, and travel.
Ok so now I guess I have to tag 5 people. So I choose
Jessica-Ann from Todays Cranium Special. New blogger that needs more writing ideas
Will from Fatherhood & Other Common Terrors
Matt from My Journey Into Locomotion
Alex from Alex J. Cacanaugh
and then I guess whoever else wants a run at it.

DONE!!
Hallelujah! We are done! 26 letters down! All I have to say is please don't start with numbers. No it was awesome. I enjoyed coming up with things to write about from a topic I just thought about. It was overall very rewarding. Meeting a lot of down to earth people and feeling all the more popular from comments and followers, it feels great knowing your writing is being read.
I first heard about the A to Z Challenge by commenting on one of my co-workers blog. I wanted to participate but wasn't completely sure if I wanted to let everyone know, just in case I decided it didn't work for me. A couple days later after starting the challenge I wrote Arlee Bird and told him I would give it a try. Thankfully thanks to my new followers and commenter's I trudged along and finished the challenge. It was hard work, but the reward I feel now is terrific! I also enjoyed reading other peoples blogs and seeing what is going on in other peoples lives and in a different country.
This challenge has allowed me to step outside my box of ideas. Overall great idea.
Thanks

ZZZZZZZZ
So really that's isn't a word. But its an activity if that counts. I just finished working four 8 hour shifts in a row, and I am extremely happy to have Saturday off. Its not a regular occurrence to get a day in the weekend off, but they seemed to have forgotten that little fact, and thanks to me picking up hours this week they can now not ask me to work. So my plans? Sleeping and relaxing. I plan on getting up in the morning, making breakfast for my parents and then hanging out with a friend and watching movies. It should make up for the week I have had.
About this week as said in my post before that it was rough, but I am counting down the days until I get to go to Mexico for my brothers wedding and just lounge on the beach with my family. It will be a break away from everything. Also on the bright side one of my best friends will be working there when I return which should liven up my day a whole lot.
What are your plans for this weekend?

#%$!@
Yes, my title doesn't make sense, but that's because I don't have a word to emphasis my frustrations. Also these symbols often represent cursing. Of course I don't do that so this is an alternative.
Today at work was horrible. For one main reason. TRANSFER BUGGIES #%$!@ OK so that technically isn't a curse word in many of your eyes but it was just added to my inventory of words today. So the main concept of this idea is we have to transfer all items from the cart into another cart in order to make sure there is nothing hidden underneath. You must be thinking, 'well whats the problem? That's a good concept.' Wrong, I work at a bulk store, where everything you buy is LARGE! OK so for example, Fertilizer, Water, Pop, Flour is now double in size. Its crazy and we have to lift it! Normally here is where I would start doing 10 survival reasons but unfortunately I don't have any. So here is my 10 complaints.
1. 'Oh you don't want your large bags of fertilizer to far up the buggy? Hmm let me think about that. TOO BAD! I just lifted 4 bags of it into a different cart as part of my job, you have a problem with it you come move it yourself big strong man!'
2. Oh OK I see, you went shopping and while passing you picked up a nice hot chicken, thinking well I can eat this for dinner. But when you come up front, noooooo you can't by a $6 chicken so you make me go all the way back through the warehouse to drop it off and then complain that I didn't pack your cart.
3. OK so let me get this right, you want me to pack your cart but only in the way you want it done? Would it not be easier to do it yourself?
4. My Job. Is to PACK. Your Groceries. I am good at it. I will not put your eggs or bread at the bottom and then stack a box of peanut butter on top. So go back around to the other side of the till, and let me do. MY JOB!!!
OK so this is going to be a little bit of how to fix your day.
5. As your walking just accidentally pick up a glass container, look around and smash it on the floor. OK I never did that, but I was eyeing one today.
6. Ask your supervisor if they have a gun, a real one. If not then an arrow will do. This is the time for them to put you in the hospital. QUICK. NOW. DO IT!!!!!
7. Push carts. Now a lot of times this will just make you more upset, especially with how many idiots there are in the world. However the idea of pushing carts into each other forcefully is so peaceful and exciting its terrific!!!
8. SCREAM. Of course in your head. Otherwise everyone kind of looks at you funny. A way of hiding it is whistling!
9. Run. So we technically are not allowed to run in the warehouse for safety reasons but when a member wants a new cheese its kind of an excuse.
10. Finally for number ten, be like cyclops and just burn everything with your eyes. Take off those fancy sunglasses and GO!!!
So I apologize for my complaints or anything that may offend you. It was not intentional. Work has just been driving me crazy lately. I think its time for a change.

You
You, also now a days known as 'u' which is really teaching everyone to be illiterate. Hmmm, what is society coming to. Anyways, that's besides the point. 'You' can be used in several cases throughout life, such as if you forget someones name "Hey.....You." Its perfect! An easy way out of not knowing their name. However today's post is pretty generic and I wouldn't be surprised at the idea of several people writing about this idea.
You, yourself as a general person is very important. A lot of the time we are constantly looking to help someone else and make their lives easier, but really are we doing them any good if we don't take care of ourselves first? For example, am I really helping work if I got mentally insane? Which of course is exactly what work is doing. What about our health? Yes those brownies may taste good, but there is always portion sizes. Is it really that important to have that second helping of deep fried fries over your own personal health? We need to take care of ourselves first before we can help others.
So do yourself a favor and this weekend enjoy 'ur' life.
