Well well well. Yesterday I declared to the world, or at least the 3 people who read my blog, that at last my internet is now up and running... and indeed it was. So I checked my email, played on MSN, did my critical updates and then updated my virus scanner which makes you restart you're computer. Restarting my computer is the reason I am blogging from my brother's PC and not my notebook. Apparently I was never supposed to shut down again because when I restarted I not only lost my internet connection but even my connection to my brother's PC.
Yeah... so here I am back in frustration city. 3 2 1... 1 2 3... What the heck is bothering me? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Thump!

INTERNET AT LAST!! Thanks Dave
Well, I must say that David Murray Marshall is my hero of the day. I have been trying to get my internet working for like eight weeks and finally today Dave did it. He got it working. Man the things I will be able to do now! Check my email on my own computer, do research on my own computer, surf the web on my own computer, BLOG on my own computer.
Moving forward in life, Exalt, the Fall youth conference, was a huge success this past weekend. The speaker was challenging and the worship went well. The drama was funny but the highlight for me was actually who I billeted. This weekend my Dad was one of the leaders from Burtt's Corner as over the past year or so he has been working with the youth group. This is a newly discovered gift for my Dad and man is he good. All weekend I was so impressed. When we had youth leader meetings he was vocal and insightful. The youth seemed to be drawn to him and really enjoy him. Then during the time where we broke off into our youth groups he was so effective and I was and am sooooooo proud of him. All though the weekend I just wanted to jump up and yell, "Yeah, that's my Dad!" He's the best.
Anyways that's all for now so thanks Dad and thanks Dave

The No Internet Blues in the Key of F# Minor
Ok, for you (the faithful reader of my blog) it is likely frustrating to check out The Amazing Spider-Dan day after day and only find a blog here and there. I assure you, I feel your pain. Ever since I moved back to the Island I have not been able to get my internet working. I share an apartment with my brother and he has internet. We have a router and it is properly hooked up, I know this because I can find his computer with my own but my computer can't seem to find the stinking internet!
On a higher note (lets say G) I had a really good Thanksgiving weekend. I am certainly very blessed and God has been with me over the year. My life is definitely not perfect and there some things that are going on in it that I do not like, but I will always keep in mind that God is still God and he is in control. If I was in control, things would be worse... for sure. Plus this weekend I got to see my family and my church family and my beloved youth group the X. Good times.
In conclusion, give thanks and fix my internet.

Good Weekend
Well well well. This weekend I went to Halifax and I gotta say, it was a lot of fun. I got to travel with a few friends as far as Salsbury and it was a blast. I convinced a naive (and quite blonde) friend of mine that I thought traveling was stupid just to bust her chops and she got totally wound. What a riot. Then Another friend of mine picked me up there and away to Hali we went. Good drive.
So when I got there my sweet-heart had made home-made pizza for us. We had a great evening! The next day (Saturday) I did a lot of homework but THEN for lunch my lady-friend made strombolis! They were awesome. Then later that night we went to see Spider-Man 2 in the IMAX (my fifth time in theatres) and I love that movie. Soooooo good.
So Sunday we went to Church at Metro Wesleyan and that was really good. Then we went to a QMJHL hockey game!! The Halifax Mooseheads Vs. The PEI Rocket and the Rocket won 7-1. I was totally pumped. In fact, I was that obnoxious fan of the visiting team. You know, that one that is at every game that YOUR team loses and you wonder what the crap he's even doing there. He's really loud and you just want to kill him... yeah that was me, and if you are from Halifax and are a Mooseheads fan and even better if you were at that game I would just like to say HA HA!
Anyway great weekend!
