Another week has come and gone and it is all of a sudden Monday again. I am going to meet up with my old friend Cindy in 3 weeks and can't wait to see her again and catch up. She has a stop over in Vancouver before going on to California, so we shall meet up for lunch at the airport here. I am so excited, as Fort Nelson was great to me and a great time in my life.
I have to really say I love face book and all the reconnections it has created in my life and all the old friends it has brought back to me and let me talk to them again.
I do believe that we now have baby next door to us, though I have no confirmation of this as of yet. I do know they were expecting a little girl and they were gone for some time, so I hope all is well and will wait for Isabella or John to bring us the news.
Monday like every week is our housecleaning day and it is all done, Floors are cleaned, vacuumed and steam mopped, everything is dusted and the washroom has been cleaned. So I have done my work for today. Now it is time to look for work again. God I am so tired and getting really annoyed with applying for jobs, will someone just see my qualifications and hire me already! I get so discouraged with the whole process and just wish it was like years ago when I could walk out of one job and up the street and get another job the next day. i miss those times and they don't seem to be that long ago. Well any how am glad that I have been given the chance to reconnect with old friends and look forward to catching up.
Anyways it is getting late here and almost my bectime. Talk with you all soon. Have a great night from your gay neighbor.

Sunday Sunday
Well it has been quite the week and by that I mean a great time was had by all. Matt and I are doing well and things are good at the M and M household. Reconnected with couple old friends over this last week and am so happy about that. I reconnected with Cindy and with Tanya, both girls from my times in Fort Nelson BC from years gone by, but as I was recalling last night, those were great years and we all had a lot of fun back then. Not too many worries and a lot of great and drunken times.
Wow to be in my 20's again would be so nice some days, but only if I knew what I know now and if I could have the same people in my life with me. That doesn't even sound possible does it? Matt's mom and dad are coming over for dinner today, possibly, if the road are better for them to drive on later. I can't believe the snow we have, crazy!!
Well today I want to talk about people and how important their possessions have become in their lives. I am not sure that I agree with that at all. We all have to remember these are material items and that they can be replaced, though pretty and valuable are they really as valuable as a life , a friend or a loved one? I really don't think so! So I guess what I am saying is I am tired of people who have to brag about their cars, houses and how big the TV is in their living room. Tell me how beautiful your children are and how much you love your wife or how you just met up with an old friend from 20 years ago. Who cares how much your new truck/car cost and what make it is? If you get from point A to B and do it safely and make it home , isn't that what matters? I am sorry and maybe i am just bitter or maybe I have finally realized that in my life I would rather talk about my love for my wonderful man, my gorgeous mother and my fabulous friends, for that is what is truly important in life and we never know how long those things will last and you don't get the option for the extended warranty in them either so treasure them while you have them and love and appreciate them every day. I know I am going to from now on. This is not directed at anyone specific, so please don`t take offense to anything I write. I only write what is on my mind.

Snowy Day Again
Saturday February 26th, and a good day for your gay neighbor. It is crazy weather here again and been snowing all morning. The ground is white and as we all know people in Vancouver don't know how to drive at all in the snow and we are suppose to get more. I guess this means that we are housebound, because I hate going out when all these other idiots are driving.
I just can't believe that we have so much snow at the end of February in Vancouver, it seems that we have had so much snow just in February alone. I can't believe it. Was talking to mom today and she said it has been minus 31 again there and that doesn't include the wind chill factor. We seem to be getting the weirdest weather all across the country this year and I am not sure what to make of it. All I can say is I really hate it and I am a summer person and deal well with all temperatures above 25.
In other news today, BC has the first ever women Premiere in our province. Wow that actually makes me happy and now if she can bring some change and clean up the mess left by her predecessor! Anyways not too much to say today. Waiting to see if the neighbors are coming by for a little cocktail? Have a great night and I will see you tomorrow.

reconnecting with the past
Today I was looking up old friends from past jobs and places I have lived and managed to reconnect with a very good friend from Fort Nelson BC way back in the 90's. I use to work at a bar with her, her mom and her brother. I have since learned from looking her up that her mom who I thought the world of and her brother who was an amazing man, they are both gone now, weird how life works. Sonny use to be so nice to me when others were mean and made fun of me for who I was and believe me it was tough to live in Fort Nelson and I had to be totally in the closet when I lived there.
Her mom is the one that gave me the chance in the bar up there and helped me to get where I am today in my life. She made me a much stronger person and also stood up for me every chance she got. Glad to reconnect with her and happy that I found her again, Thank You Face Book.
I have reconnected with many people over the years on FaceBook and am so glad to do so, many people were so important in my life and i think of them all often and wish that I would have stayed in better touch with so many of them. To those who I have lost touch with and are no longer with us, Rest In Peace.
Anyways Tanya i am glad you are back in my life and I look forward to more emails and seeing more pictures of you and your boys and your sister. take care and be well.
Fort Nelson was a crazy part of my life, but really and truly amazing and is the place where I grew up and by grow up I mean I matured and became a real and honest person and also the last place where I lived my closeted life. I then moved to Edmonton and oh my god, that was the craziest few years and coming out was quite the journey!

My Busy Thursday
Well it was a crazy busy day yesterday, went to my doctors and had a good appointment, though I think it may be time to find a new doctor. I truly like my doctor and he is a good doctor and very nice to look at as well, but I am starting to realize he may not be the doctor for me. He rarely spends anytime with me and the average appointment is less than 5 minutes. Not at all like my Doctor from Toronto who was always there for me and in every way did proper exams and listened to me and addressed my problems. I don't get that here. Maybe I should call Jason in Toronto and see if he can recommend another doctor, who knows I will have a look around and see what options there are for me.
Also went grocery shopping while I was downtown, went to No Frills and Quest and got all my sale items for the week. So we are fairly stocked up for a bit. Matt and I went out to Surrey to look at King of Floors and I must say , not at all what I expected and really not that cheap either. Nothing I saw advertised existed in the whole store. We then went to North Delta to visit an old friend of Matthews', his name is Raj and they use to work together a few years back. Raj and his wife have recently renovated most of their house and we wanted to see what they have done and how much things have cost them. They got a new kitchen and 2 new baths and new flooring throughout, great finishes and a very nice renovation. Not the finishes I would choose but we do all have our own tastes. I love the cupboards and counter tops and the tiles in both the bathroom and the kitchen. Congratulations on great choices. I t was also very nice to meet Raj finally after almost 2 years. He is a very genuine man, hard to come by people of that caliber!

Do we have a new baby in the neighborhood?
Isabella and John are due to have their baby any day now and honestly I can't wait. I am not sure if the baby has already been born, because we haven't seen them at all over the last couple days. Maybe they are at the hospital and she is in labor? Guess we will find out soon enough.
Now the big question is what should we get them for a baby gift and when? I am thinking of a gorgeous frilly dress for their new baby girl. What do you think?
I hope the baby was born yesterday, I always say that people born on February 24th are blessed in every way and will grow to be great people with a huge heart. Just like my grandmother had. My niece Amanda was born on the 23rd and is blessed like that. She is an amazing little girl and just fun to be around. Happy belated birthday Amanda!
Well I will let you know when the baby next door arrives. Have a great day from Your Gay Neighbor!

Our Good Night Conversations
Matthew and I have gotten in the habit of talking about important things late at night. It is nice to discuss the different things that are important to both of us. On Wednesday night before I fell asleep we discussed marriage again and whether to elope and have a party after wards or to just have a big wedding. I don't need a big wedding. I would be happy with just getting married here in the house with a couple witnesses and then having a party for all of our friends and family who wants to come over after wards.
I have waited for years to have the right to get married here and have the same rights as all my brothers and sisters and friends and everyone else and when that came about, I couldn't wait to get married! I lived in Toronto right after it became law that same sex couples could get married and because at that time I was not with anyone who wanted what I did at that time, so I worked at a B and B in Toronto for a while and planned same sex marriages and worked with couples both from Canada and the USA to get married. I think all gay men and women want to get married at some point in their life. But enough about that, I know that Matt and I will get married and I hope we have a nice ceremony and a great future together.
Last night our late night before we fell asleep discussion was about peoples perception when you apply for a job and what the interviewer sees and what they want to see and who I imagined they would hire. My opinion on this is that if I had a full head of hair I would have a job. People here primarily hire on looks and perception of what they first see! I use to wear a topee' at some points in my life and am thinking lately I may have to go back to that. It is like if a woman shows up at an interview in Yoga Pants and doesn't have her hair and make up done, she is likely to not get the job. I dress very well and whiten my teeth and do everything I can to look good, but having thinning hair does make me look older I believe! It is my biggest bother in life and really if I could afford it, I think I would get a hair transplant and just be done with it.
I guess that makes me a very vain person or does it? I just want what we all want, I want to be looked at and to feel attractive all the time. I think everyone wants that.
