Diary of a Player
Well I had the pleasure of picking up a digital copy of Brad Paisley’s Diary of a Player this past weekend and it was a refreshing read for someone who alternated back and forth between reading software engineering forums, survival manuals, and intense musical theory books. For anybody who has any interest in Brad Paisley at all this book tells the heartwarming story that is Brad Paisley’s life. Good for a lazy weekend read if your interested. Check it out!
What should I read next? Garth Brooks biography or the second Hunger Games novel? Hmm. We shall see!
Passed my nemesis of a course
On July 15th 2011, I wrote the Data Structures and Algorithms exam for the last time (of 4… ouch!).
New Job
On May 23rd 2011 I finally had a way to leave a horrible position and move on to what has been my dream job as a Problem Solver / Software Engineer at Patchcord.ca Inc. Better yet — I received paycheques from two employers during my transition month of June. Win!
New Guitar
On December 4th 2011 the unthinkable happened. Jen and I had to helplessly watch in horror as my acoustic guitar fell to the floor and snapped it’s neck. After much reading and investigation as to whether it could be fixed it came down to the fact that the guitar would never be the same so I was forced into an early upgrade (not to say I’m complaining). Our home’s humidity is closely monitored now with the new CF Martin guitar sitting in our living room.
Patchcord Christmas Party
On November 25th 2011 Patchcord staff and their counterparts celebrated the upcoming holidays by hardening our livers for the drinking season to come. We had many laughs (and debates) and enjoyed many drinks and snacks.
Two years
On October 31st 2011 Jen and I celebrated our second anniversary. It certainly feels like we’ve been together much longer (but in a good way). I’m very blessed to have such a wonderful girl as my partner.
New home
On October 14th 2011 Jen and I took possession of our first home together. I still can’t believe how beautiful our first home is. We’re both very happy and proud to say there have been no domestics… yet. :P
Brown’s Annual Canoe Trip
On August 26th 2011 the Brown’s had a repeat of last years canoe trip with the added presence of Trevor, Jenny, and Jen! This years canoe trip marks the beginning of a new family tradition and I think I speak for all of us when I say I can’t wait until next years already!
First vehicle
On August 23rd 2011 I bought my first vehicle. A brand new 2011 Ford F-150. It’s a sweet ride! I couldn’t be happier with my choice.
Jack Layton
On August 22nd 2011 Canada received sad news that Jack Layton had passed away. Jack was a symbol of hope for myself and many other Canadians. Jack will forever be an inspiration to me.
