just call me maverick

So when in the car on the way to go hiking the other week james put on the top gun sound track

i was all whats this

james replies only the greatest thing ever

i was ok..........

so then we end up watching top gun

and man i loved it

the whole

yeh thats right im am dangerous !!!!!

and all the epic jet shots and the music then made sense

so seeing as i think ive left my sun glasses at elizabeths (have i aunty) i decided screw it i need some aviators

and here they are

they are super shiny and i love blitzing round with them on
so in the past week or so its been more job hunting and i went accross to america for the day

this was due to my work visa coming through

But i had to activate it so i had to leave canada and cross an international border

easyiest way to do this is to head out to port angeles on the ferry

its an hour and a half each way

but i may have kinda made the ferry late....

This is due to the dear US border gaurds wanting to search my bags ask me questions take my finger prints ask me what i was planning on doing in the us etc etc

so ended up being late thanks to them

pretty uneventfull ferry trip accross except for a little turbulence
and got out here

Port angeles

A sleepy little place

really sunny with a few nice views but yeh it was a saturday and it was quieter than melksham you know

i cant imagine the kids out there have a lot to do

its a mecca for twilight fans

and thats about all there is to do there

they advertise 8 blocks of shops

i counted 5

at a push

so i killed a few hours there the plan had been to go to Forks for major twilightage

but na thanks to the ferry being late (my bad)

i didnt get to go there

i do plan to go back there though on my trip to san fran

just need a car ......... any offers guys???

Then on the way back in i got stopped and detained by the canadian guys for about 40 minutes while they went over visa's and the whole are you who you say your are can you prove this do you have a job do you plan to go to school here

arrrgh

but it was funny they detained 3 of us

all young guys

all dressed in hoodies and walking boots with a few days growth on the chin

funny isnt it

the 3rd guy came in and was like hmmmm i see a pattern emerging here

so yeh eventually got out of there and went and got a coffee thinking i had earned it and im sure i had you know walking all that way lol

sunday went for a masssive bike ride (and purchased the aviators ) it was such a beautiful day was sooo sunny and warm it was great

(oh yeh ps on saturday i handed in an application to mountain equipment co-op an amazing outward bound gear shop i would loveee to get that job so would james he would love the discount )

when i got back to jameses about 3 i had a chill read some harry potter woooo in the sun on the balcony and then we went for a masssive run till like half six

we were both dead apres ca

but he had to go study so him and sheena (his girl friend) headed out to a coffee shop to do some

we were out of milk so i valiently dedicated my evening to finding some

this was a mistake

the store was ages away and my already aching legs were like theo you idiot
but i got to the store and found milk woop and then trekked back to jwm's and went to sleep after a little more harry potter

oh yeh also on my ride around victoria on sunday i found this sweeet bridge and were the picture is taken from there is this amazing grassy slope that is soo nice on a sunny day

you can watch the float planes taking off and they bank right over you its just amazing to watch

but back to the bridge its all archaic and cool and the girders are starting to rust its amazing i love that bridge lol

any how im going to head to bed its 11 here so aidios amigos

much love

bloody visa

so im still waiting for my work visa to come through ive emailed the people concerned and had a very unhelpfull email back from them its pretty dam infuritating to be honest grrr
ive spent the past week applying for jobs and ive had one very informal interview just waiting to hear back from them
ive applied to a couple of bars a few bike shops and a bunch of touristy shops
the bike shops have generally got people but if stuffs not working out im next on the list so i gotta hope someone fudges things up
it was the easter bank holiday originally me and james were going to head back to north van for the weekend but decided not too
oh yeh and wednesday james got off school early so we went and played golf it was uber
ok so it was pitch and put but it was very very fun
we then went for a jog as we had done on monday afternoon as it was such a nice afternoon (im properly unfit though) i also believe its pronounced yogging as its a silent j lol
i got jameses bike up and running and have since been racing cars between the sets of traffic lights its amazing how slow an auto car is on response compare to a skinny kid on a bike and ive found it great lol
im really liking victoria its a very cool city i think that im going to spend a few weeks staying in one of the youth hostel type places as they seem really cool and a good way to meet people
the lack of tea is taking its toll im reduced to coffee now
i feel my purpose in life is gone now i lack the tea :(
im thinking that i might try running the victoria 10k at the end of the month so im going to get in shape
this started with a major session on james's chin up bar
and 2 days later my shoulders still ache lol
oh yeh and saturday night jameses girlfriends mum cooked for a bunch of us as an easter meal (we had bbq!!!) and the food was just omg amazing
and i got on reallly well with her dad
he''s got a bunch of garages and some reallly cool toys which he showed me some of
he thinks he's got about 8 motorbikes in them in total hes not really sure
that bloke has got it sweet lol
oh yeh and friday we went for a trek along part of one of the trails an hour or so out from the city and it was just pissing it down all day so we got soaked through but it was good
anyways its just started to drizzle and i gotta race the traffic home so ill catch u later
