Royal Commissions not being Followed

Posted on March 13, 2008
Seriously!I sometimes almost wonder why governments even bother to call Royal Commissions on anything anymore. So many recommendations are always made, yet so few are truly ever followed.

Light and Sleep, Gym Time, and Law Ball

Posted on March 11, 2008
Even though I like the thought of the extra hour of light, I am not a fan of losing an hour of sleep. This morning, while I normally get up at 6:30 a.m., I was unable to wake up until 7:30 a.m. and am still tired as I type. I hope that I can get back into a good sleep/awake routine by tomorrow...

Apartment, Compliments, Law Ball, and Paper

Posted on March 07, 2008
I think I may have a new place before June hits. I went apartment hunting today, and while the first two were nice and all, the third place absolutely blew me away. Albeit a bit pricy, but the location is great (five minute walk from work and about eight minutes from Nubody?s), the place is incredibly gorgeous, and it has just about everything that I want (especially coin less laundry)...

Junk Food Ban Advertisement

Posted on March 04, 2008
I am not a doctor, but I do agree with this one.I think this might be a start in addition to a lot of other things that need to be done. I blogged about this one quite some time ago.Also take note of the second page; ??more than 50 per cent of children living on native reserves fall into the same category [of overweight or obese]...

Giving Thanks

Posted on March 01, 2008
The final tally is in. I have lost a total of 20 pounds for the month of February. Good god does it ever feel good. I am still going to keep this up.I still think about last year a lot; Clint dying, the depression and sadness that I went though, the struggles and the pain, and all the weight that I gained because of it...

Final Fantasy VI Advance and Leap Year

Posted on February 29, 2008
A few days ago, a friend of mine from undergrad was able to win me a copy of Final Fantasy VI Advance for the Game Boy Advance (it was originally released in North America in 1994 as Final Fantasy III). This re-lease is going to have everything about the original game plus some added extras here and there...

Paper, Working-out, Movies, and Apartments

Posted on February 28, 2008
Reading Week is coming along. I got almost all my readings done for my paper topic. I think I can finish them today and get cracking at a theme/idea.Working-out is the same (which is a good thing). I am still making progress, but I did take the day off yesterday because my knee was somewhat bothering me...

Clothes and Reading Week

Posted on February 22, 2008
Last night, I went out and bought some new clothes. My regular clothes were becoming a bit too big and baggy on me. Plus I also got a shorter belt because the one I have now is actually a bit too long.I must admit; it definitely feels great to be able to purchase and wear smaller clothes again...

Sunlight, Daylight, and Progress

Posted on February 20, 2008
Since I decided to make the full-time switch to working-out in the mornings, I?ve come to truly appreciate how the sun raises up earlier and earlier each day. Back in January, I recall how it was still dark shortly after 7:00 a.m. Now, there is some light in the sky even before 7:00 a...

FAAY

Posted on February 18, 2008
It?s the seventeenth profile down this year.Thank god I submitted a different picture this year. I was sort of getting sick of the old one.*Ego inflates by another billion pointsNow back to editing the yearbook.

Write-ups, Topics, New Routine, Stories, and Private

Posted on February 11, 2008
The write-ups for the yearbook have been coming in. While it?s always impossible to get everyone, we are getting a lot nevertheless, so I?m very pleased with that.I?ve been switching too many topics for my paper course this term, but after some pondering, I think I finally settled down on something So for today, I?ll be doing nothing by looking up articles and books to see where I can go with this...

Football, Cardio, and Stories

Posted on February 04, 2008
Yesterday was the first time I ever watched the Superbowl. I was never much of a football fan, but I did watch the championship games back when I was at Saint Mary's University. I did play flag football here and there in intramurals and I liked it a lot...

Working-out and Third Year

Posted on January 25, 2008
Well so far so good; working-out in the mornings is working-out for me (pardon the pun). I wasn?t too sure about it at first because in undergrad, I did some morning work-outs, only to be exhausted for the rest of the day, and just decided to keep it in the evenings or night...

Mornings

Posted on January 20, 2008
Just to switch things up for a bit for now, I am going to start working-out in the mornings before school instead of at night like I have been doing since I started back up at the gym. Obviously, if I find things run better for me in terms of scheduling, etc? then I may just stick with it...

Aboriginal Population, City Living, and Home

Posted on January 15, 2008
The Aboriginal population is on the rise, especially for the younger ones.I am not too surprised that the Aboriginal population has decreased from on-reserve and increasing off-reserve either, given that young people may want to try living in a city for once as opposed to a reserve...

Gym, Last Post, and Work

Posted on January 13, 2008
Good news is that I am keeping up with the gym quite well. Considering I am paying good money for it, I may as well better be. It is difficult accurately measuring my progress. I was 236 pounds a little over a week ago, and am now down to 232 pounds. I can?t say it?s all fat loss though because my muscle mass would also increase my weight...

Aboriginal Opportunity, Success, Education, and Future (warning: very long entry)

Posted on January 10, 2008
So okay! This post is long overdue (and VERY long, but I did my best to note my own seemingly contradictions and tried to address them: comments always welcomed), but here goes. Back in early December (or was it late-November?) there was some interesting news that half of all Aboriginal people do not graduate...

Legal Ethics and Professional Responsibility and Second Term

Posted on January 09, 2008
Today was our first day of Legal Ethics and Professional Responsibility (for those in the second term anyway). I must say the course is pretty interesting thus far, especially how lawyers are viewed by the general public (it did confirm to what I was expecting, but no surprise really)...

Gym, Mental Disability Law, Holidays, and Wii

Posted on January 03, 2008
Good god does it ever feel good to get back to the gym or what? I started up again back at Nubody?s two days before the New Year began, and after a few days of getting back into the swing of things (I needed to increase the protein intake to help speed up the muscle recovery), I feel pretty good...

Indian Residential School Settlement Money

Posted on December 21, 2007
On my reserve, the firsts of the Indian Residential School settlement money is starting to come in for many of the survivors. While I think the amount that they are receiving does not make up for a robbed childhood, lost language, and an attack on a people, what I said back in my May 2006 blog still stands true for me...

First Semester, Yearbook, I Am Legend, and Monday

Posted on December 15, 2007
It feels strange being at the apartment for so long. I have studied at the law school so much that I almost forgot what it was like to be bored at the apartment. But alas; Evidence is done, so is the first semester. I got one semester left, and while I want to say that I am excited, I think, like April 2007, I am just a bit exhausted and beat to truly appreciate and realize it just yet...

First Semester, Third Year

Posted on December 14, 2007
All done first semester of third year.Will blog properly later.

Exams

Posted on December 10, 2007
I finished writing my Secured Transactions exam this past Friday.Now I got Evidence this Friday.Wish us the best!

FAAY Scholarship

Posted on November 26, 2007
I can?t blog much right now, but just wanted to say that for the third year in a row, I won another scholarship from the Foundation for the Advancement of Aboriginal Youth.As always, I am very thankful for the recognition and support.Now back to work!

Cancelled

Posted on November 16, 2007
Well I am not happy right now.

Audition and School Work

Posted on November 11, 2007
Well this is probably my worst kept secret in ages, but here goes; I auditioned for a play this morning for the second semester. It?s actually with the Saint Mary's University Drama Society (SMUDS), which I was a member of for five years. I got the invite to audition some days ago, and seeing how I will be down to nine credit hours in the second term (something which I have not done since my first year of undergrad), I figured that I could spare some more time into it...

No Mercy

Posted on November 10, 2007
This week has been filled with good news.As you know, I was a huge wrestling junkie growing up. I definitely am not so much nowadays, but I still try to know what?s happening a quarter of the time anyway. Plus, you all know that I was also (and kind of to the same extent at times, still am) a huge video game junkie as well...

Celine Dion

Posted on November 07, 2007
Probably the greatest news I heard today.I?m too excited for August 23, 2008. Who wants to wait all-night in a lineup with me when tickets go on sale?

Hurricane, Home, and Zombie Story

Posted on November 03, 2007
There?s a scheduled Hurricane (well post-tropical storm) on its way later today. I was in Halifax when the last major Hurricane came, living on the ninth floor of my respective building. To be frank, it was not really that fun since the power went out early and the building felt as if it was rocking back and forth...
