Medical and Interview....

So yesterday I went to the recruitment center to have my medical done. Other then being color blind, all things are good. So now I got my medical 2 fit.... whatever that means.. Now my records go to Ottawa and they will clear me medical 3 fit.. Something like that.

Today I had my interview. All things went well, tones of silly questions, and a few not so silly ones. But once that was all done we had a talk about my options. He told me that not too many people apply for 'Signals Officer', and that I did really well on my aptitude test, and interview. He said that unless 4 Einstiens (sp) walk in and apply then I should be receiveing a job offer.

So what do I do now..... I wait. He said that in March they are selecting what people they are gonna hire, and I should hear back from the as early as April 1st. So the waiting game begins.

Thats my news... Pretty excited.

Military Update.

My aptitude test that I wrote on the 29th went really well. Next step is only a couple weeks away. On Feb 14th, I have to go in for my medical and on the 15th I have my interview. They didn't have any days soon that I could do both so I figured just take the first two days I can have. Getting excited about it, hopefully I can be hired on by summer. I would love to finally start something. As much as I'm having fun with my friends and work at Jack Astor's, I can honestly say that I'm sick of that place.

Well thats it for now.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Please be aware that I am currently messing around with my blog... I'm trying to customize it the exact way I want it. This will take some time, due to the fact that I am having fun fooling around with the code. Please be patient it will be pretty rad once I'm done.

Update to my exciting life.

Well this week I've finally received my suprise that my chef has been promising me for a couple weeks. The suprise was new cutting boards... Seems like it shouldn't make for a good suprise, but these new ones, don't have a 2inch lip, which made it hard for a couple of us smaller people to reach the high stacks of plates. So now I can easily reach them all, makes working during busy times alot easier. If funny how such a small thing will makes things easier for the select few of us that are short. Now all the taller guys make fun of us.

If you all haven't read dads post about him partying alot, well yes I did get a call from him. It was rather funny. He started by letting me know that he is on a boat, thats in the sea. Also they have a huge balcony. I suggested he throw stuff off it, but Susan told him not too. After that he started telling me about a turtle. What was so special about the turtle.... It was swimming. I will admit that from all the drunken phone call from Megan, and Hilary, I think Dad's may have been the funniest ever

Yesterday I had the day off work. It started crappy because I had to do 3loads of laundry. But after that I went to meet Megan at her school (Humber College - same campus that Megan "Cain" went to). Then went to dinner at the Mandarin. I ate so much, and the food is so good there... I want to go again, but next time I'm gonna eat more until I'm sick. So yeah thats the excitment in my life.

A little update.

Well as you all know I've submitted my application for the military. I've received a call back from them and on Jan 29th, I am going in to write my aptitude test, and do some more paper work. Atleast the process is started now. I'm excited and hope that things will work out with this.

Nothing else really exciting going on.

Let me introduce.

Well last week, I went on a date. Things went absolutly amazing. I could not ask for a better first date.. Started out with lunch, then play pool, then coffee, then a movie, followed by dinner.. So yeah that went well. Today was my second date, and was even better then the first.

So Ladies and gentlemen..... Let me introduce Megan Korn... She's my girlfriend.

Skating = fun.

Well a couple days ago me and some friends from work decided we would go skating at Nathan Philips Square before work. I had to rent skates, but it ended up being a fun time. The ice isn't the best in the world but what do you expect no snow, not cold, and a million kids skating all equal bad ice.

Also as you all know, new years passed. Me I was lucky enought to get to work, and boy was it ever busy, but by the end of the night we had plenty of fun, lots to drink, and a great feast to eat at 2am.

As for what else is new with me. Nothing yet, no news from military, and nothing really exciting going down. Except for a staff party on Jan 15 :D. that should be fun.

A couple fun pictures.

Nothing like a hand full of beers to start the night.

What ever I'm laughing about must have been pretty funny

Me and my crew...
(Me, Carissa, Shannon, Kyle)

Time to throw this bottle. (just kidding).

That time of year...

So, I figured I would try and keep everyone updated a lil more on my life, so heres another blog. Yesterday I finally went and dropped off my application for the military, now I just have to wait for the new year, when they'll phone me and set up my interview, and testing. I'm happy that the process if finally started. Who knows maybe Matt will be saluting me by summer time.

Seeing how its xmas season, work has been insane. Most days theres no time for a break, because we have so many reservations coming in. Alot of xmas parties are being held at Jacks. Atleast it makes the shifts go by a lil quicker. We were informed this week that we will have an xmas party also. Jan 15 will be the party day :D.

I'm pretty excited for next week, I work three days then I'm off to visit Steph, Matt, and Kaden. It will be a great time away from Toronto.

Well thats it for now, hopefully next time I post I'll have some pictures for you all from my party night last night.

Thomas.

Third attempt at an update.

Well this is the third time that I've attempted to update my blog. The past two times, something went wrong and internet explorer crashed and I lost the whole post. I spent so much time on it that I didn't even want to attempt to recreate the greateness of it.

So whats new with me. Well first I should state that I am alive, the lack of blog updates should not be considered a sign of my death. For those who haven't been informed, well I am no longer looking into policing, due to a minor problem with my eyes I cannot be a police officer. Granny you are to blame for this one... If you haven't heard why I can't join, its because I'm color blind.

So I decided to fall back into plan C. Plan C has been around in my mind since I was 12, so its kinda exciting to choose plan C. I'm gonna be hopefully joining the military. I'm applying for the Signals Officer position.. This will mean two things, my degree that I already have will come in handy, and was not a complete waist... And the best part is Matt will have to Salute me... Sucker...

SO yeah thats what I'm doing with my life, preparing my paper work, going to the gym, and reading up as much info as I can so that I will be prepared if I get accepted.

SO thats it for now.. Maybe in another couple months I will post again.

I guess I'll update.

Well I figured today I would finally post an update and let you all know what I've been up to. So here it goes. From Hilary's blog you all know that we went to the science center not too long ago. We had a lot of fun. Since the science center, there hasn't really been anything too interesting other then work being INSANELY busy. This weekend I am gonna relax a bit at Steph's house. Spending thanksgiving and my birthday there. The night of the 8th, I hopefully will be going out with my friends Kyle and Shannon. The coolest part is its Kyle's birthday on the 8th as well. So we should have some fun. After the nice relaxing weekend at Stephs, I will come back to Toronto, and tuesday we have our staff party. It will be fun, well how could any open bar party not be fun... On October 15th I am taking my PATI, PREP, and WCT test for metro, and hopefully will pass. but not holding my breath.

So yeah, thats my life right now. Hopefully i'll have some pictures to post after this weekend and staff party.

FREE BEER.

Well after being bothered by my sister for a while about posting some message on this damn blog I have finally realized that I have some exciting news to share with you all. Well I've told most of you already. But its pretty rad so I will share it again. Tuesday I worked until 7, after work I went to the baseball game. I got the ticket from the managers at my work. Me and one of the servers went to see the game. BUT WAIT. where were our seats... OH thats right.. we're talking about the Labatts Platinum box seats.. :O oh yeah.. They treated us like kings.. well me like a king, her like a queen. Drank all the beer we wanted ate all the food we wanted.. and watched the game.. Well neither of us are really into baseball so we make the game just one big drinking game. TONES OF FUN. At the end of the night I went back to Jack Astors to thank the managers, and they bought me more drinks at the bar. WHAT A NIGHT.

Ok thats it.

Finally done

Well here is a video of my tattoo.. Hopefully you can see the detail and the color work.. It really is amazing.

Nothing new, but I'll update

Well, not much has been exciting in my life lately. Other then the family reunion, and soon Steph's wedding. Oh wait this weekend that just passed I went to Wasaga beach. That was pretty cool. I was shocked just how warm the water was, and how shallow the water was. It was so nice to get away from Toronto for the weekend, and relax at Steph's .. Thanks once again Steph I had loads of fun. Just to tease the rest of the family and torture mum a lil, its nice to know that I can let Steph know secrets and that they won't be delivered. I bet mother would love to know but too bad :P. Steph don't let me down.

Not much more news about the Policing thing that I told you all about. I have to go to a mentoring thing, i believe its on Aug 14, then once i have finished that I will book my appointment to take some tests so that I can apply.

Oh yeah this monday (31st) I will be going to get my Koi fish finished. Its gonna be so freaking sweet.

Well I'll keep you all posted with what lil excitement I have in my life right now. Until then ummmmmmm keep on .... I don't know... Doing what you do best... rocking... ummm ok yeah lets just end it there before you all think I am retarded.. Ok bye

Run and tattoo.

Well today I did my first timed 5K. It seemed to go really well. The run started great, nice night, nice scenery, and not too many people on the trail. At one point I ran by an indian guy who decided he would cheer me on "Good work, keep on going". How nice of him. Continued running ankle started to hurt a lil, but whatever I was almost done. So finally was finished my 5k.... 34 mins.. I guess thats ok.... WAIT... Oops I ran 5.5 last marker my watch was under 31 min. NICE... So I am happy.

Came home and discussed my next tattoo adventure. No my fish isn't done yet. Still gotta reschedual my appointment. (damn you ttc). So my next tattoo will finish off a bit of a wrist band. As you all know I have Cain on my inside left wrist.. SO i've decided I will get Evenden on the outside of the so it forms a wrist band. Hilary is gonna join me... Working on mum, Meg you better be in... Oh yeah Meg where's your Cain tattoo?... Steph I know you aren't into tattoos.. So i have an Idea... Can we buy a black marker. and ask the guy just to draw it on you, so that way its like we all got it together.. LMAO..

Ok thats my idea.. Anyone else in for it, just let me know... I'm thinking July 15th... Sometime in the morning before the reunion... Whos IN????

Thomas

A pirate and damn proud.

Well, today I had the afternoon off from work.. So there were a few cds that I well want, but don't want to spend money... Thank god for the internet with a lil bit of knowledge I now have 10 new albums... Some may think that I am stealing but I look at it as doing a good deed... Almost like a Robin Hood kinda thing.

When I was younger, cds were 25$, ever since music could be found on the internet, music prices have dropped by 15$, and there are more tours, and bands give more to there shows. So now sure I could be thankful and be like "ok now I will buy it.." but screw that.. Someone has to keep the cause going. So if you ever go by a cd, and think "wow, this is cheap"... I want you to realize its all cause of people like me.... Yeah for free stuff.

So excited for the family reunion.

34... So the count down begins. If you aren't sure what the count down is for then I suggest you start to think "where did I come from, and why am I so different then everyone else"...

After you have thought about this for a while then I hope you have realized that the reason for this is because you are a descendent of Thomas Evenden. After TJ's wedding I realized there is a place where we all fit in, and we aren't considered "crack heads". And thats at family get togethers. So I am excited.. SO SO SO EXCITED.

Well I am here reading peoples blogs seeing what everyone has been up to... And it appears that dad woke up to write one blog, megan had time for us, hilary well I don't know what that kid is up to, and apparently Steph has no life other then Matt and her Dog. OH and don't get me started on Laurence... So i look at his blog and whats the date 2005.... Common dude you really have to pick up and let us all know what the hell is going on.

So All of you mentioned... Oh yeah Devon you too. START BLOGGING... Or else I will phone the police and let them know you are all dead.

Thomas

Mmmmm Fruit...

So yeah I just finished breakfast and its so yummy. Forget cereal or crappy toast.. how about a big bowl of fruit.. Now thats breakfast.

OH yeah on a side note. I badly want sleeve tattoos... If you don't know what those are then you are missing out. They are beautiful and I am looking forward to the day when I can gat mine.

Days turn into nights, then back to days.

As I'm sitting here in my room with the lights out listening to some music that is allowing my mind to be brough into fantacy and adventure, I have decided to write something. Not sure what yet. Maybe I could bestow some of my knowledge to you all. But I am not certain that you all are ready for it. Things I am learning now a days is bringing me closer to who I really am. Not sure what exactly that means yet, but I am sure that once I realize it, then I will know. Until then I will continue with my daily events.

Four years devoted to a certain goal, has now come to an end. On June 14 I will be officially graduated. Mind you I do not wish to attend the ceremony. Sure I am proud of what I have accomplished but to me its more of a look at what you've passed up for this. Among the professions that I would be happy doing, now that I am an "educated", I can now consider another profession. Which means nothing to me, because I have no clue what one I wish to choose.

In order to keep my options open I am starting a new activity. I have decided to take on the family tradition and start running. Maybe one day I will be fit enought to run a marathon, but thats not my goal. A different goal is in mind which I must prepare for, if I decide to take that path. So until I decide, I'll pick up my knives at work, tie my shoes to run, type away at a computer, and keep my mind busy so that I won't go crazy while figuring out my life.

Hmmm well I think thats enough writing for now. Maybe I'll go stare up at the sky and dream of my adventure. Who knows what will happen, where I will go, or who I will meet but until then...........

Thomas.
