Where am I going.

By KyleWith on April 14, 2009 in Journal

For the last 3 months I have tried to figure out where this blog is going. What am I to write about?

Every once and while I write about what’s going on in my life, where I’m going, what I am doing, what is pissing me off, why I am happy for once, etc. This all makes sense since the blog is about me, but I don’t think that is what I want it to be or maybe it is…

I like blogging to inform people and I don’t think everyone that finds there way to the blog wants to read about my everyday troubles. I’ve tried writing about thing that are interesting to me, such as social networks, wordpress, blogging itself but there is already so much about that in the blogosphere that it is not worth doing. I have thought long and hard about what it is that I excel at, my top most interest, what it is I do to relax and enjoy myself, what my niche is. Continuously I come up with nothing, I just might be a very boring person.

I was currently on a more local idea of Yellowknife. I have always loved this placed, although we have had our rough patches it will always be home. I would love to be like Miss604.com and blog about Yellowknife and its Social Media but I am just not out in the community enough. I could give it a solid effort for the summer but come August it would all crumble beneath my feet, as I will be leaving Yellowknife to go to school. I can’t wait the next 2 years to go by so I can make an attempt to figure out what life has in store for me so I am not always up in the air about it all. Getting a permanent job will be very relieving as well. I recently wrote a post about my opinions on some articles in the Yellowknifer (local paper) and some of my opinions where very strong. I have gone back a couple times to edit it and even take some points out. It is not so much that I am afraid of voicing my opinion but rather protecting future possibilities. I mean who knows where I will work or what I might do when I come back to Yellowknife, I certainly don’t want to start ticking people off before hand.

Now I feel my readers, if any anymore are getting tired of these blog posts. I know only time will tell what this blog is going to be about. Currently I have a semi topical blog going at www.canliving.ca. It is a blog about my Canada Living and includes stuff like preparing for summer, getting the camper ready, putting away the snowmobile, preparing a simple but delicious meal, etc. Check it out and subscribe.

CanLiving: Get There On Time

By KyleWith on April 13, 2009 in Random

Being late is something I am just not good at. Is that a bad thing?

If I am suppose to be somewhere at a certain time, I will be there. I will probably be there 10 minutes early. I would drive me up the wall if I were late.
Here is one example. While in school, I would get to school 8:10 in the morning even though I wouldn’t have to actually be in class until 8:30. In my last year of High School I would give my brother a ride, the only problem is that my brother is the complete opposite to me. He wouldn’t care if he………. [Read More]

All I Have to Say is Ugh!

By KyleWith on April 4, 2009 in Journal

Ugh, that all I have to say for it all.

That is what I have to say about my lack of Blog posts lately on The Bushman. I figured this would happen when I started writing entries my other site. I think I’m going to have to step back and take a different approach to it. I read a great article today about not worrying about anything but your content when you are starting a blog. Readers wont come because you have a nice design or because you can cram out 3 crappy posts a week. They come because there is truth and value in what you write even if it is only once in a while. Then when you do start to write more article they can actually get something out of them. So that is what I’m going to do with CanLiving. Screw scheduling posts for now, I’m just going to try and get at least one good article out a week for now. I will hopefully still remember to post up my weekly thoughts here because I know you’re all DYING to hear about how I sit around all day thinking about going outside but never actually do and then get bored, depressed and end up worrying about stupid things like making enough money to survive when I go to school…… Oh Sorry I went off track there for a second. (Sweet run on sentence right there)

That is what I have to say about work unfortunately. I got back from holidays 2 weeks ago and I am only now on my first night back and it wont even be a full rotation. I don’t want to rant about it because they are all nice people there but they all new when I was coming back. I have worked there for 5 months now (which makes me the longest working night person) and since the first month I started I wrote out the schedule so that it actually made sense. Everyone had the same amount of hours a month. Which to me is very important because beside the fact I like to work 160 hours in a month, I like structure. It only makes sense, would you apply for a job where you can never get a set schedule? Working a proper rotation for me is very important because we work nights and it is sometimes hard to adjust. But because I was away I didn’t make the schedule and now for some reason I wasn’t put back onto it until tonight April 3-4 and only work one more night after this before getting 4 days off again. WHAT? That doesn’t even makes sence. Whatever! Maybe there is something waiting around the corner for me, who knows.

What makes you say Ugh?
