Call me a billy....

Konichiwa folks…

Hope you’re having a great day!

Use the force Chuck..

Folks, I am one of those fruit cakes who believes that shit always happens for a reason. I mean, I got MS for a reason, I’m writing to you for a reason, got married for a reason and if I get unhitched is because there will be a reason for it too. So following this theory, yesterday I was meditating in front of my computer when suddenly I was awoken… er… disturbed by the cats running amok only to find a message from the Universe in my computer screen.

I’m telling you, shit happens for a reason and this message was unexpected and sooner or later it would have repercussion in my life. Even though I believe that shit happens for a reason, I seldom fall for stuff like this. What if I didn't act on this message? What if it was meant to be and I acted against it? “What ifs…” I hate those guys! And, as to reinforce the message, my little one came down from her fortress of solitude just to underline the Universe’s memo by uttering six words: “Oh yeah, I heard of that!”

-        Fuck it Chuck! If it was meant to be it was meant to be!

So as the advice I usually give people who request it -Go with the flow- I went with it. Now I just got to wait and see where this might lead…..

Take care folks….

PS Sorry, I was jibber jabbering so much that I forgot to tell you what the message was “Goat simulator 40% off”…. So I bought the software and played it a little before being kicked out by my little one so she could get a go… best six dollars I ever spent in my life…

A BBQ wet dream weekend...??!...

Hello!

Wow, what a beautiful weekend this was…. Nothing but Sun….

And my weekend was a food feast event that was planned out and executed to perfection. Friday we had beef wellington  with Greek salad and yesterday we bbq a 5 or 6 pound roast that was rubbed with a Dijon mustard concoction that elevated the taste to never before seen heights…. I gave some to my brother, niece and mother and it appear that they liked it. To accompany this dish we had corn on the cob with bbq asparagus; gluten free heaven!... it was a perfect way to celebrate the start of fall….

To top it all off, last night I had a wet dream; and I didn't even tell my wife about it! It was weird, here I was soaked to the bone under a rain storm; I was all wet! For the dream analyst out there, I was just standing around and the water was clear. Also, there was a couple of persons from my summer camp that made cameo appearances….I guess it was the crab salad that my wife bought….

Any hoot, take care people…

PS There was also a Scorpion in a fighting position.... I know, the plot thickens; right?

The bucket list tackled...

Hello!

First fall weekend people and what a beauty… sunny, warm, humid, crappy…you have to understand that when it’s humid, it’s crappy for me and other people with MS.

Last night I had one of my dreams fulfilled, when I realized how insignificant it was I felt sad about my life….  Now I’m depressed, but I will tell you what I did. I have seen some episodes of “Hell’s Kitchen” in my life time and on several of the episodes there was the mentioned of something called Beef Wellington. Well I saw what it was and made it part of my bucket list; I was not going to leave God’s green Earth without a try. So yesterday I went overboard and bought 4 Beef Wellingtons to try… now I am ready to tackle point 64 on my BL: Sleeping with the enemy. Trust me, I know what I mean..

Take care people…

PS I did like the Beef Wellington but I wasn't blown away by it (my girls didn't like it). Today I will tackle the bbq of a nice 5 pound beef roast marinated with a Dijon mustard sauce….. Epic bbq to start fall…..

PS PS I forgot to mentioned, the 19th of September I accomplished 38 years in this country..... happy b-day Carlos...remember, always remember....

Under my Firmament....

Hello!

Weekend time people! Let’s get drunk, eat like pigs and fornicate our asses off….

What did I wrote yesterday about my Mexichick and finding stuff? Well I don’t know what her method is but when she moves shit that seems impossible for me to find, she finds it! It took her a sec to find the referral paper I was looking for… I hate Mexicans…

So we got a last humph from summer this weekend, we’re going to be having temperatures of +25 degrees and sunny! Yay Indian summer!

I get a lot of dough...

My life is getting busy lately, I mean with my shows coming back, my medical appointments, the administration of my wife’s company and my work on Fridays it is busy…. I hadn’t told you about my work on Fridays? Well every Friday I am fairly busy creating drum CDs for the person that takes care of my mother (I used to be a drummer before remember?). Obviously I don’t do it for free; nobody gets a free ride unless you’re super-hot. No, I get remunerated according to the drummer association; 1 song or video = 1 pastry dish. Today I got a strawberry pie, so my family will be happy that I still put food on the table…

Happy weekend folks… 

Referring to my referral...

Hello!

Good day, hope you all have a wonderful day compare to me….

What’s eating me?! I’m glad you ask:

Find something that slowly kills ya...

Here I was having a sun bath when I realized that I have to go and see the eye specialist next Tuesday. I strolled down to my computer ready to blog and organise my papers for the appointment; I was going to blog about the emptiness The Cosby show left in all of us and how the new show called The Blackish is nowhere near the Huxtables level of comedy. Unfortunately my referral paper from my GP is missing and without it the eye specialist will just tell me to go “F” myself…. And you know who I am going to blame, right? It has to be her and her incessant “cleaning” habits! My desk is so orderly disorganized that I would find any document at the snap of the fingers. She comes into my systematized mess and messes things around; making a complete havoc of my schematized life….

Brrr…. I’m sure she’s going to come home and find the paper….dumb Mexichick, screwing things around…

Any hoot, don’t you just love Thesaurus?...

My theory of life...

Hello!

Good day to you all….

Hey, a theory of what life is hit me last night and when I analysed it, it made perfect sense! A life is a circle filled with loops that are basically 10 years in measurement; and something out of the ordinary tends to happen in those loops. Let me explain.

When I was born I started the first loop of my life; my first 10 years. In these first 10 years I was expatriated to Canada at the age of 8, right at the end of my first loop. Then, I had a cruising period of about 10 years where nothing out of the ordinary took place; came along my second loop, my second decade. In this loop I was diagnose with MS and met the woman that would eventually lead me in the direction of my wife. Immediately after was my third loop, where I met my wife, got married and had kids. Now I’m in my fourth loop and nothing major has happened yet, if I follow the trend something big is going to happen very soon…. My life makes perfect sense when I use this theory to analyze it….and at the end of the circle of loops, we died… but don’t be sad, if physics is correct energy cannot be created nor can it be destroyed; making us recycle matter as we are energy….

I need a hobby..

Back door fantasies of a disable guy

Hello!

So much for the Ferrari...

Well back from my visit at the CMR and boy did I ditch a bullet when I didn't get the mini-van last year; I probably will need a full size van… apparently I need a full conversion with access through the back… yeah, you heard right. I need to penetrate the van (her) by the back… cause the van is a female name, I’m sure that if I search the dictionary for the word van it probably starts with “Feminine word” describing a big car…so I’m probably will need a gas guzzler to be driving around. 

And that’s not all, the total weight of the wheelchair and me is 735 pounds; or 333 Kg or 52.5 stone. Pretty freaking amazing, so I feel bad for the people whose toes I have crushed over the years: my wife, my kids, my summer camp care giver; sorry, I will lose weight. I feel bad now making fun of those morbidly obese people on the TV show about people weighting over 600 pounds and get operated; those fat persons deserve my apologies for calling them ugly fat bastards. Although, I may be fat but I’m good looking soooo I don’t know about that..

Anyhow, I am home, I’m fat, I’m proud….kinda like then "we’re here we’re queer..." chant…

Take care folks…

Fall update of a demented guy....

Hello!

Good day all of you out there….

So, big appointment tomorrow, I get to see the people who are going to be establishing what’s the best van for my needs is; maybe they’ll suggest a tank or something. It is going to be an hour and a half meeting, followed up by another meeting in the future to complete the evaluation. After this appointment I got another one in 2 weeks for an eye doctor at 8:50AM, meaning that I will probably be picked up by the bus at 7:00AM…. And my last one will be in the middle of October so they can implement changes to my wheelchair...This appointment is 3 hours long and I will bring my negative feedback so they can work them out of my next set of wheels…

Looks like I am going to be imparting some culture onto my girls. My brother is the president of some music chamber that performs concerts on a monthly basis and he told me about the next gig and I will be attending it with the girls. I will have to email my bro for further info on this shindig, I am exited since I haven’t done anything musically since I left high school… plus I hear that they have this dude that plays a six million dollar violin… an original Stradivarius…. I will make sure my oldest doesn't even look at it…

Tata folks….

PS plus it's going to be held at the University Of Montreal; last time I was there I caught MS....

Mark Zuckerberg will have my soul again...

Hello!

Happy Thursday to you all…

So did Scotland succeeded in their referendum? You know the separatists here in Quebec are following the issue real close; it will help them (Quebec separatists) next time when they have another referendum here…. I think that they forgot our reality, we live right beside the USA and if they don’t like it (USA) all they have to do is cross the border and remind them who the boss is. I wish they come in so we can get some decent food here: TGI Fridays, Arbys, Carls Junior…. What can I say, I think with my stomach. One of my rare regrets in life is that I never made it to Memphis in May festival… I would have loved to be there!

Hey, I quitted Facebook! Yeah, I grew a pair and decided to go back to basics… pen and paper people! Now that’s not true, I cannot write anything now; MS sucks! But I really did quit FB, I just wanted to be Amish for a while, take a break… I know that eventually I will go back to see if I can find old acquaintances, how bad somebody looks compare to me and what is the juicy gossip online; Yeah, Mark Zuckerberg is the anti-Christ…

Any hoot, take care folks….

Shit happens...

Hello!

Top of the morning to ya….

Just finished my 10’oclock shower and I had a bonus today… got shaved again this week! Usually I get shaved 3 times a week but since the next 3 weeks I have a replacement bath giver, she shaved me!.... you have to look for little things in your everyday routine to spice up your life….. Awesome….

So what’s my plan for today? Nada!! After I finish writing this post, I will vegetate my ass off until my girls start coming home at 4:00PM…. I’ve been in an emotional slump since I came back from camp, gone from hero to zero in a space of a month and I cannot talk to anyone about it except you….. So all I do lately is listen to music and conquer worlds…. 

Maybe I’ll avoid camp next year to avoid a collapse of my daily existence….deep shit….

Take care folks….

I'm the man...

Hello!

Good day to you all…..

So, ever wonder why shit that you try to run away from because you hate it and consider yourself inadequate to work with usually comes and land on your lap? And only to find out that for some weird reason you’re good at that shit even though you don’t understand it???!!?? Yeah well, case in point me and accounting.

You see folks, about a month ago my wife, and her cockamamie ideas, decided to make a bid for a cleaning contract; and well she got it!.... well this is a big company and as such they are big boys that play on the big league with rules and stuff…. so first order of the game was that they wanted to deal with a company; a true real life company. So I had to rush around and figure how to register a company… then this customer of hers wouldn't pay because she wasn't charging the taxes… guess what? Yup, I had to deal with that fiasco too… and with any other problem that has arisen since then. Payroll? Hey, I’m your man! Deductions? Right here! 

Besides all of these issues I have basically trained myself on a payroll application that I don’t understand but that so far I have made it work…  

I still got it people…

Take care…

PS She has done her part too, she has given a job to one of my brothers and we went to have breakfast once so far; I'm sure my Rolex is coming soon...

Chattering away with Chuck

Hello!

Talk to me....

Looks like winter isa coming and I’m still the only person with a fully functional A/C unit still working, 24/7, with temperatures hovering as low as 4 degrees outside; another one of those MS side effects…. Sigh…… better than the one I saw at camp this year: constant chill. Yeah, this lady arrived with her winter clothes on her because she was always cold; really! She was even wearing a scarf! So me extending the usage of the A/C unit until late September is a no biggy. Also, another inevitable side effect of my MS, cocooning. I will be hunkering down for the season soon, only making myself available to the few medical events that I must attend; and the occasional breakfast happenings of course…

On my calendar this month, I am going to have an evaluation regarding a car. The CMR is going to test the type of car I need for my displacements. Even my wife is going because they want to see what she is able to do… have another appointment next month but after that I’m pretty much done for the year… time flies people…

Any hoot just dropping by, take care of yourselves…..

Camp pictures 2014

Hello!

Hope you are all having a wonderful day/night……

So yesterday I got a surprise call from one of the MS summer camp organizer….. It seemed that they couldn't email me the link to where the photos of camp were…I corrected the situation and retrieve the pictures……  Aaaah memories, I love the camp; hopefully I’ll go again next year. The pictures were nice but boy was I surprised by a couple of them… it was nice that they can capture the moment, but what an embarrassment! For example, did you know that I sleep with my mouth open?! I didn't! Well now it’s burned into the part of the brain that remembers forever; trust me, you don’t want to go there. Here’s a couple of pics from camp…including me “thinking”…

Take care folks….

Camp 2014

Surprise bucket challenge...

The guy had a motorized WC and was half blind!!! 

Another month to go through.....

Hello!

Good day y’all…..

We are back to school routine, 1 kid gone to school already and the other one getting ready. It’s amazing how fast the year passes, I’m still sad about the whole summer camp thing and here we are about to hit Halloween soon…..This really sucks!

Guess what? In a couple of weeks I have an appointment with the people who are going to assess my vehicular needs… they are going to weight the chair and me, work with my wife to see how she does or what she knows and they will eventually recommend the van that I need to purchase for my needs. Now it doesn’t mean that I am getting a van any time soon, it just means that I will have recommendations for a future van and I don’t know what else to expect from that visit…..

I had a weird dream last night, I’ll try to remember it so that I can tell it to you folks later…

Take carwe folks
