Long live the weekend!
Six hours...360 minutes till I jog on from work, escape Toronto hopefully quickly and successfully and head home to start the weekend!
The weekend is a glorious event that occurs to mostly everyone every 5 days. Being on nights kind of sucks, but hey that's ok! I'm going to head home, grab a bowl of cereal or a bran muffin (both if I'm feeling cra-zee) and watch some Spectacular Spider-Man before grabbing a few hours of sleep. After I awake I am going to head over to see my girlfriend, Katie, and induldge in some more home-made sushi! From there we are going to head to a stag and doe for Jon and Shayla, who I know from College. It's going to be great to see some old friends! When we are done there, Noel and I are going to be printing some tees into the late/early hours of the night, a common occurance for us these days!
Saturday there is a poker game, which is always great, and then I am going to ANOTHER stag and doe of my bro and sis' friends so that should be a great time as well!
Sunday my cousin is having a baby shower, and my Mom, Amanda and Michael are attending as my bro and I plan to watch some wrestling!
In other news my nephew can almost say my name, haha! So awesome!
I also sleep through earthquakes, no big deal!

A lot of reasons to be thankful/happy!
I pride myself on being as positive as I can, no matter how difficult it is to see through the clouds sometimes. Lately I have found myself more frustrated than normal (channeling adolescent Steve!), but I feel more relaxed, more chill, more positive again.
The FUNdraiser we threw put me in my place. Chatting with one of my pals, Scott, whose Grandparents suffered from cancer as well. We were saying about how people (myself included) complain about day-to-day frustrations like they are the end of the world, but when you step back, they are literally not worth thinking about, let alone fretting over.
People deal with things differently, but more and more I remind myself not to complain because someone always has it worse.
Different strokes for different folks I suppose. But I do have a lot to be thankful for:
-Another successful (the most successful to date) fundraiser. Had a blast!
-Homemade Sushi dinner from Ms. Kathryn Stiel = delicious! Nothing like chowing down on crispy-spicy in the comfort of your own living quarters! Katie even watched wrestling with me last night, and it was awesome (for me, haha!) Ladies and gents - I present to you, my dream girl!
-My bro and Amanda just celebrated 10 years together. Before I met Katie, they were (and are) my inspiration that true love exists. Couldn't be happier for them!
-A recurring character in my "thankful" posts, one Michael Gillon. This guys personality is shining through and he provides me with me tons of laughs! We are watching Yo Gabba Gabba tomorrow with my Mom!
-Shirt-making with Noel is going well! Fan Expo in August and it's fast approaching. We may butt heads almost daily, but no one I'd rather do it with!
-Got a call from another best pal, Justin the other night, wishing us luck - all the way from the other side of the earth...miss that dude!
-Maybe road-tripping to Ottawa with Kathryn next week, very cool!
-And I just heard a HUGE secret today, which I can't talk about right now, but holy crap, Bat-man!!!!
Did someone say bat???? I'm out of here! AHHHH!

Funds-Raised!
Man, what a great time we the other night at the Fundraiser! Almost 70 people attended and we jam-packed the den at the Tap House, creating a human fire practically! Ok, not really, but it was HOT in there - Pedro from Nap. Dynamite style!
It was way more than worth it as we got to see some old and new faces, had some beers, got peeps talking about our brand of shirts and raffled off some great items supplied by great people!
A girl I worked with formely at Toys 'R' Us, Molly, who is awesome, was chatting to me and thanked me and my pals for doing this, and again, it wouldn't be possible without all the great help we had! I set out for the goal of $1,000 and two weeks before we were barely over $100, so it was great to see everyone rally together for this. It's bigger than last year and will be hopefully BIGGER next year.

Steve
