Score!
 

I knew it was going to be a good day when I was driving into work and just happened to turn on the radio (I'm not an avid listener). There was a show on called Strange & Beautiful Music.

So naturally the most wonderful and interesting (strange and beautiful, lol?) song ever was playing and I silently willed the DJ to mention the name of the composer at the end and he did! And I googled it this morning and I snagged that song!

It is one of those really obscure pieces, too; so I never would have found it if they hadn't said it. lol, I just kept repeating the name over and over again until I got to the traffic light and wrote it down so I wouldn't forget it.

And several spelling modifications later, voila! Love Google!

Smiling!

Update!
 

Aforementioned brilliant composer has just accepted my friend request on her personal Facebook page! Now I just have to think of something cool to say, lol.

And she looks all cynical and morose in that super chic way only Eastern Europeans can pull off, lol.

Making a new friend; yayyyy! A sure sign it's gonna be another good day! :)

Winding down...
 

...with a cold beer after a long hot day working at the beach. Happy team-building participants = happy me!

Summer where I am is a scorcher this year!

A fellow nerd...

Getting caught up with exams and homework!

ahhhhhh......
 

Thinking about yesterday and my date......how sweet! <smiling still>

yesterday......
 

driving home from my employers house yesterday evening.....when suddenly....two moose walked right out into the road. It was a cow and her yearling....something Ive only seen from a distance (and in tracks).
The size of these animals is just amazing...its like watching a small building walk across the road...it was a happy miracle that was a much needed reprieve from an otherwise awful week... almost like an apology from the universe :)

today....
 

I was early getting to work....so I stopped at a spot that has had my attention for months now... Ive been thinking over the winter how much Id like to hike there...so...I stopped today to take a peek...and was sooo happy to find its actually a gorge...with a currently ragin stream/river going through it....
I see a fishing pole in my near future... :as well as a nice long hike on an early day at work...
:)

Calling my mom, and hearing her say, "hello son!"

The complete and loving support from my family and friends, Mum calls me son daily and my little brother is desperate to call me by my new name, he's just never had the chance yet.
Finding unexpected support on Fb, and from my neighbours. All in all, I have every reason to be happy and stay happy. I'm a lucky bloke!

Breakfast on the patio with my wife; what a nice start to the day! :)

Feeling alive! <3

dinner with my hunny bunny after a long day :)

THE chica did- of course!

Noticing the little sticker on this before i ate it. i think they are the cutest, must always eat them.
