Hey Guys;
It's been a busy week man, and I'm super glad to catch a break - I'm living up this weekend. NOT! I've stuck in the house all weekend, actually I went down to Bev's and got a book off her to read. :) So, Thanks Bev! :)
But yeah, that's been my exciting weekend. As for the past two days.. I've been flat out pretty much. Work is enough to keep me tied up but hey, I pulled a easy one yesterday, since April (my co-worker) wasn't around! She done it the day I took off, so only fair right! haha! JK
But yeah, Yesterday God broke though in so many ways.
First off, RSG (Rock Solid Generation) had a huge promotion yesterday. VOCM threw us a online story area with a link provided AND Rudy done an interview with one of the reporters which aired a few times. Not to long after that, the hits for the site went WAY over 700!
After lunch, while I was at work (hehe) I called openline, just to thank them for their help and throw another shoutout for RSG. I never thought about my bosses listening to the radio and hearing me - which I'm sure would have ended in me getting fired.. haha! But yeah, I reported we had 700 hits but overall we ended up with almost 900.
That was all well and dandy and thanks goes out again to VOCM for their support.
After VOCM, I made a small little ad, just in case newspapers wanted it for advertisements. Knowing that they were most likely not going to call looking for it, I called them. First on the list was the Northern Pen. I spoke to their Editor Allen and he agreed that they would run an ad for a 'couple of weeks' so I got his email and sent that along to him. He told me that he would get back to me and send me the email address for all the newspapers here on the island. That way, promotion everywhere - which is just what we need! :) But yeah, I'm not sure if that ad will run this week or next, but I did make this weeks deadline so, just MAYBE it'll make this weeks cut! I hope so! :) But yeah, an advance thank you going to them as well.
If you read Rudy's blog anytime soon, he has an interview coming up on Monday with a lady from the Telegram. It's going to be about youth and religion - so awesome! So, make sure you say a prayer or two for Rudy on Monday! :) Good Luck Man - make Him proud! :)
Well as you can tell God was in the middle of all that. :)
ALSO, guess what- WE GOT THE APARTMENT! :) We finally have a place to call home! :)
It's rather close to the school BUT it's a two bedroom. That's okay I guess, good enough for now to say the least. Buddy said if we wanted to, we could look for a three bedroom while we were there. :) It's all good. The landlord sounds like an amazing guy! :)
The girls have their spot, a short distance from us! :) yey!
Also, Heather reported that they have their house in the city now! :)
In the words of Heather 'Yesterday must have been God's day for living arrangements' -lol! :) It must have been! But yeah,... all the hard work in searching, paid off! :) Now, it's only 30 days til we get to go home! :)
But yeah, it's been a good one! :) Yesterday rocked:)
Anyways, that's it here from me now! I'll try to touch base before Wednesday - I think I'm going to make a routine on here.. post every three days and just update then. NOT! This blog from the beginning was meant to be totally random, and I think it has! :)
But yeah, again.. it's been a good one!
Peace Out
Prayers
Josh

Chapter 80: A Little At A Time
Hey Everyone,
I took this afternoon off work, I am totally sick (the stomach flu is going around..my poor nephew had it, my sister, mom and now me... yipee eh?) and it's totally not fun. Now I have to work back 4 hours to the CAP but oh well, it's only next Tuesday and Thursday mornings and I'll be caught up! :)
But yeah, the title suggest the main plot of this blog don't ya think. 'A Little at A Time' - as you noticed that I am slowly (yet surely) trying to upgrade the blog to at least something I am pleased with... so I'm adding little things in. I have been searching around for different things I can add but nothing majorly registered in my brain yet (that hasn't happened in a while now as it..lol).
As you can see, I have posted the 'official button' for this site (see the LINK TO ME section on the lower right hand side). This is the button YOU can use on YOUR website, blog or other internet pages. Just make sure the link comes back to here (and that it works)!
If you link MY SITE to YOUR SITE, I'll gladly put you under the 'Affiliates' section and let you have your own cool little button there. As you may have already noticed, the RSG one is linked under that section but I'm not linked on theirs - that's okay though and will only work for that site (since it is important).
But yeah, I'm gonna keep on searching for more advancements for the site and I look forward to keepin ya posted on what's going on in 'Josh Land'!
Peace Out Everyone;
Prayers
Joshua!

Chapter 79: Busy, Busy, Busy
Hey,
Okay, I can't promise how long this will last but it might last until I get to Edmonton! I've been forever trying to blog but I just can't find time anymore. Laugh all you may, but honestly- I'm officially a very busy man. Well, ever since day one I have been saying I always find a way to make me busy, but now, more then ever - I've been busy. Work, Work, Work! THAT'S ALL I DO ANYMORE! And I ain't complainging cause I like it most of the times but yeah... it keeps and takes most of my time.
Okay, for example - this past week(and the week prior) I have:
1. Started a book
2. Attended a Wedding
3. Helped my sister move
4. Worked(had to throw it in again cause I do it alot)
5. Got my student loan approved
6. Officially graduated highschool
7. Worked (again I do it alot)
8. Went to GF's
9. Went to BV
10. Newspapers
11. Edited my sister's wedding video (which is still not done)
12. Cyber Camp (twice a week)
13. Attempted to read a book (still not even half way through it)
14. Apartment Hunting
15. MORE
So yeah, I have been busy- especially with work AND apartment hunting. I honestly have called roughly 30+ apartments. No less then 25. I have my phone bill ran up cause of it, and I have the special on the phone.. okay, that was a stretch but seriously, I have about a few dozen numbers on my phonebill for apartments... and still NOTHING! Until today! If it's the Lord's will - it'll obviously work out! Pray, that's all I'm going to say for now.. pray!
Anyways, this is my time off and I'm gone to do something other then sit here and write on this blog!
Peace
Prayers
Joshua

Chapter 77: I Cried - Congrats!
Hello Again;
First off I just wanted to say - 'I Cried'! ha!
Second, I will tell you the reason I cried. Which is:
Okay, I watched the Grad DVD. I was doing perfect right up until the very last part - the balloon drop. I cried ONCE at the Grad - after Candace gave her tribute to the students, and that wasn't even a real cry, more of a 'shed a tear' sortta thing. Anyways, the balloon drop. It was MY highlight of the grad. It was the climax of the entire grad for me, and if you watched the DVD - you would be able to tell. I loved it! I jumped, danced, laughed, hugged and everything else to express my happiness YET, I come home, almost two months AFTER the grad and watch it, and cried at the balloon drop. This time it wasn't a 'shed a tear' sortta thing, but actual crying - sap eh?
I just can't believe that there is no highschool for me anymore. I'm done, it's over - FOREVER! I can't go back even if I wanted to. Now, as I am out of school, I look back and (as people said) I cherish it - even if it's only two months after. I'm not crying for the purpose of 'waaa.. I don't have highschool anymore' - I cried out of pure JOY! I was SO excited for not just ME but ALL of us. We been together fully for SIX years and I shared seven years with the Burlington/Smith's Harbour half - and now... it's over! :)
Again, it's been two months since Grad and almost half of the grad class has gone away - to start their lives. Today is the 50 day marker before I leave, and start my 'life' - and the feeling is amazing.
Basically, what I'm trying to get across is CONGRATS GUYS, WE DID IT! I know I wished you all the best in May, most of ye in June again and now I want to do it again - Congrats Guys...
Peace
Prayers
Keep It Up
Joshua

Chapter 76: Wake Up
WAKE UP FOR THE FIRST TIME OF YOUR LIFE!
DEADLY song! I totally love it. I'm going to try to find the lyrics to it or try to post somewhere you can download it - or a clip of it at the least. It's deadly!
Anyways, I'm not going to ruin it now before I let you all hear/read it! haha!
Well, it's Saturday - duh! I wasn't going to work today but I decided I would - make back some of the hours I owe.. : - I only owe a few more.. hehe! Everyone else seemed to take off to the park for the day, if only they had called me earlier - I would have scrapped the work idea. Ha! Oh well, there'll be more days I'm sure... : -
I was talking to Candace today too (Just after supper -my time). It was good to talk to her again, I miss her SO much... :( - sorry for the late birthday wishes hun - Hope you had a great day. :)
Oh my, I'm bored now.. I had plans for tonight but I sortta backed out on em.. I'm just in a 'wanna be by myself' mood - I think I'm gonna head down to the 'old house' area and read the John Hagee book I bought before grad and still have yet to read. I took my bible down there a week or so ago, and just read, soked in the surroundings and yeah.. I enjoyed it. I might just go do the same now with the JH book! :) Yeah, that sounds like fun right about now!
I'll try to post later tonight!
Peace

Keep It up

Chapter 75: 25 To Go
Hey Guys;
It's me again - obviously eh? haha! Well, I don't know what to write about tonight. I'm half asleep but it's been two days and I haven't blogged so I was like 'I tell people off when they don't blog' - plus, two people have asked me if I have blogged today, and I had to say no. Now I can tell them that I have, and it'll make them happy I bet... ha!
Anyways, I'm finished work for this week. I would almost say 'Praise God' but it would almost make it sound like I didn't like where I work - which I really do. I'm so lucky to have April (an amazing friend) as a co-partner. :) It keeps the CAP more exciting. ha! As if the CAP would ever get boring eh?
Well, I gotta comment on what I done tonight. I was at the CAP and a lady from our town came in with her kid - a two year old little girl. Well I showed the parent how to do some things on the computer and then I was like 'I'll keep the kid occupied so she can get her work done'. Man, what a laugh I had with her. I had a CAP balloon blew up and we played with that. I was throwing it back and forth with her for about a good half hour. Then we used it to play 'soccer' and then I was flicking the balloon at her and she would laugh so hard. It was SO cute, I loved it. I always said I wasn't sure if I ever wanted kids after I was married but man, if my kid can be that fun - I want one. Anyways, my mind is totally set on having kids now - well not set.. but it confirmed that I do want kids and I don't really know why I said I never wanted any in the first place.
Anyways, I'm 100% NOT ready for kids yet, maybe in a few years (like 4+) I'll settle down (if I can find someone dumb enough to marry me.. haha, just kidding) and maybe, when the time is right we can start our own little family... aww... how sweet!
But yeah, the kid taught me alot tonight! :) - Thanks kid!
But yeah, Had a blast overall today at work. April and I went out and delivered the town's newspaper - the favorite part is easily when we had the good ol' Christian music blasting and I was shouting 'Praise Him Burlington' ... April still thinks I'm crazy but hey, the least we can do is offer ALL the praises we can! :)
But yeah, I'm hitting the hay now!
Peace
Prayers
Keep It!
