So I'm having a hell of a week. Literally. I'm doing the night shift at work, which involves leaving Saskatoon on a 5 ton truck at anywhere from 7pm-11pm, driving to Yorkton, switching trucks with a guy from Winnipeg, driving to Regina, unloading, driving to Saskatoon, and unloading. It ends up taking about 12-13 hours with no break. And I suck at staying up all night. Thank goodness for those energy drinks. At least I'm making overtime.
I'm feeling quite exhausted as I just got home from that shift. So I think I will go to bed. Toni you should send me your email. And Rylan I'll call you next week sometime. Cool. Later,

Today I became a millionaire! Well, sort of. All I have to do is keep contributing to my RRSP at the rate I started on today, and I'll have ~ $1,693,000 by the time I'm 65. Thank you Mr. Berg.
So I'm off to be a truck driver this week. I'll let you know how it goes.
It is 1:30 in the morning and I'm eating a giant piece of German Chocolate Cake. The Safeway Lady said that the topping was made from coconut and walnut. Can you believe it? Two different types of nuts. Well let me tell you, that sold me. Rather, that sold the cake, to me. I bought the half one, and I should have bought the whole one. I also bought some dill pickles, ham, and cream cheese, for making these delightful little hampickles (pickles wrapped in ham spread with cream cheese).
I had a wonderful night. The company was fantastic, the food was awesome, and did I say the company was fantastic? I love my friends (ie: YOU).
Now that the cake is gone....I am moving on to Stoned Wheat Thins, my second love. You see, my place of work asked me to fill in for the night shift this week. So.....I am driving a big truck out to Yorkton, then to Regina, and then back to Saskatoon, every night this week. Yes, it is going to suck ass.
I seem to have a piece of cartilage in my nose that is not attached to anything. It has just been discovered. I hope that it re-attaches itself. Speaking of which, I got my health card the other day, finally. So now if I get sick I can actually go see a doctor. And.....I also got my benefits card from SunLife. So if I go to get prescriptions, or to the dentist, all I have to do is give them that card, and I only pay 20 percent for dental stuff, and nothing for drugs. Drugs for free! Yipee!
Tomorrow my family (the kids) are having a meeting with Dale Berg. Dale is a financial dude from Assante. He's going to give us the run down on investing and RRSP's. I'm hoping to get set up so money comes out of my account every week, and into the RRSP account. That way I won't have to think about it. Automacicity. That's the key to a stress free life.
I went out last night and ran into some people, who I ended up going to O'shea's with. And then some old dude with a white beard bought us all Heineken's for no apparent reason. There were 8 of us. That's $42 worth of beer. And then when we were leaving, he was coming outside for a smoke, and asked me if I wanted to share a joint with him. I declined, and then he asked if I had some matches. I didn't, but I gave him my lighter to use. He thanked me, turned around, and walked inside! I figured that he bought me a beer, so he could keep the lighter. Wierd though.

I wrote this on a scrap of paper awhile ago, and thought it was worth thinking about:
"Because of our limited knowledge of God, we could be eternally discovering new aspects of Him, and though He may never change, to us it could appear as just that."
This came from reading about religous history and the way that all religions have changed, even if slightly over the course of many years. Religions have to change, or they die. But does God change? I don't really think that He does. But He's so infinite, that there's no way we could ever understand all of Him at once. At least that's how I see it.
Expanding on this....maybe different religions have been able to understand certain parts of God. I don't think any religion is perfect, and maybe there's a bit of truth in them all.
Anyway. I'm going to Amigo's on Friday night to see Junior Pantherz and Deep Dark Woods. Y'all should come along.

Sorry it's been so long. This one is going to be short, and I'll come back later to say more. I'm off to Yorkton right now, for work...can't beat overtime. Anyway, I wanted to put it out there that I've just finished recording 2 new songs, and they're posted on: www.myspace.com/matthutchings. "Desert Sand", and "Vanessa".
Bye for now!
