Today's Track : Smashing Pumpkins - 1979

10:30 am.

On the fourth day after my birthday, there was light – and it shone down on my new car. As a birthday gift to myself last week I signed papers for a new Mazda 3 GT, making this the largest single purchase I have ever made. My first NEW car and the 2nd Mazda I have owned (I used to own a used MX-6). Last night I was so excited I could barely sleep and for those who know me – sleeping is something I don’t have any problems with. I pick the car up at noon and then I have 2 days of joyriding before I go away to Vermont for my last snowboarding trip of the year.

Speaking of which, I got a cheque from my friends to purchase a new snowboard for next year’s season. Did I say how awesome my friends are? Sonia also contributed a large portion of that so I can’t forget to thank Miss Ting-Ting. I love the people in my life right now. There isn’t a single person I care about that’s not a significant part of my life right now and for that I’m the luckiest person on the Earth.

Upcoming events later this year that I’m looking forward to :

a) Vermont snowboarding trip this weekend.
b) Karen’s engagement party in April.
c) My one year anniversary in May.
d) Collin’s bachelor party in Montreal in June.
e) Collin’s wedding in June.
f) Warren’s wedding in June.

I’m still staring at my new car through the window in my office. I can’t believe it’s raining on my car on the very first day I have it. I want to run out there and put a sweater on it or maybe a tarp. Then I want to give it a hug and maybe rub the steering wheel a little.
