Losing My Blog Virginity

This is my first blog ever and I'm not really sure what the point of them are but it seems like the thing to do in my newly discovered free time. So here goes nothing...

I now have this free time because as of a week ago today I started the Culinary Arts Program at the Northern Alberta Institue of Technology. This is a really exciting time in my life mostly because i now only have to work on weekends. I decided going to school is much better than working because for some reason, even with the homework, I have way more free time. Take today for instance, my classmates and I had a three hour break in between classes. As a result, we took the initiative and played pool and bublbe hockey all afternoon in the NAIT pub called The Nest. It was quite possibly the best bubble hockey I've ever played. I figure that I am in peak physical condition for this rediscovered joy and am in the prime of my bubble hockey career going five and one.

The best part about going back to school is the class itself. I am extremely excited about what the course has to offer me, other than pool and bubble hockey. For instance, today we started the Kitchen Sanitation course, finally I will at least know the name of the smell that is coming out of my room. It doesn't bother me any, I leave the pile of food and dirty laundry on the opposite side of my room. The flies have their space and I have mine. Maybe they'll even recommend on how often im suppose to wash the sheets on my bed, but I don't think we cover that till week eight.

For those of you who I have not yet informed, I am now employed at Red Lobster where I am also enjoying myself. The managers there are really helpful and informative and spread light on things that I would never have realized on my own. For instance how terribly racist the movie Shrek is..."the only black guy on the movie is a jackass."

In addition to the bubble hockey excitement, there is also a lot of other exciting things happening in sports. For example, Papua New Guinea just won the Australian Country Cricket Championship. As well as the wicked awesome Pittsburgh Steelers advancing to the AFC Championship game. There is also the World Cup and the Winter Olympics coming up. Wow! This is going to be an exciting year for sports, especially when the Edmonton Oilers will defeat the Ottawa Senators to win the Stanley Cup.

Well it's getting rediculously late and I have to be playing with extremely sharp knives in just a few hours so i better be somewhat coherent or Uncle Jim and I will be counting fractions on our fingers together. So this is the first blog for Newman Unplugged and I hope you enjoyed it. I have now officially lost my blog vitginity right now...
