So today is the season Premier of GLEE!!!. The show that EVERYONE loves. As i sat in the living room, watching the premier, a sense of , well glee washed over me. haha. I love good music, musicals of any kind. It's why i love Ellen so much. Her talk show is so chalked full of Talented people off YouTube and such, it's fantastic.
Well, Back to glee!!!. I've always been a fan of Cory Monteiths work, since he was in Kyle XY. even his brief extra work in Stargate. (he's such a cutie) And although he's not the greatest singer, He makes it work. I loved his contributions to Empire state of mind tonight! Oh what the hell. i just LOVE that song ;) It's fantastic!!!
AND lets not forget Charice!!! Hello Vocals. she sure makes Rachael run for the hills. That gurl has such a strong vocal talent that Rachael is Scared to death of being a swaying hum in the background she's ready to do ANYTHING to make sure Her star status is protected.
Even sending Charice to a crack house to keep her from auditioning.
Because it's early i can't find the rest of the music for Glee yet, hehe It's not yet all uploaded to YouTube yet :(
Oh and don't even get me started on the shreking. I'm LOUD. i should duct tape my mouth shut while watching Glee!!!. Seriously. I didn't know i'd be that loud haha. It's a great show, great music, and the twists and turns are fan-bloody-tastic.
AND did you get a look at that football coach!!! Talk about BUTCH!!. She makes me look like a fly. Seriously i'm watching and imagining her looking at me, and squashing me for being such a nancy boy. (i'm not that bad but i can be on occasion :P)

Misadventures with myself?
Talk about a misadventure!!!
I'm sitting at home, Thinking about going to see Mr Right, and decide my leg needs to be looked at after Mr A. Gets the thought of spider bites in my head. I'm freaking out researching online about them, and RUN into the Hospital. I get there and tell the Triage nurse that I've either got spider bites or I had some fun with the wrong person. (laugh out loud moment haha)
So after a lengthy wait, I finally get in to see the doctor. who Proceeds to tell me he's going to cut my leg open. And my neck. I'm like OMFG. He gives me the option of numbing my neck and leg, but tells me it won't work long term. I'm like GIVE ME THE NEEDLE!!!.
After a few moments of shrieking while my body is numbed, He starts digging out my leg.(i still don't have much of an idea what he's up to or why he's doing it). Mild screaming, a few moments of profanity, taking the lords name in vain twice, and calling the doctor some words that would make trailer park trash look classy follow as my leg gets lanced. Then comes the neck. Let me tell you, the poor pen that was being used and abused by me while I'm getting cut apart hasn't been the same since.
The doctor leaves, and comes back to notify me i have a staph infection. MRSA to be exact. I'm given 3 options. 1, leave with oral antibiotics. 2, Receive Two 2mg IV bags of Vicomayacin and oral antibiotics, or 3, Receive a blood test to check for infections, do the IV Vanco, AND further IV therapy sessions. He goes over the pro-s and con-s of IV and such, eventually scares me into taking number 3. so i get my blood test done, and wait for my IV. After 2 mis's in the IV department, and no cutie pie nurse like in Abbotsford to aid in my torture(a previous hospital visit involved blood work from a 2nd year nursing student who hadn't mastered blood work yet. Mmmm luv me some Latin nurse :D) Eventually the nurse running the Mild treatment section of the ER helps with the iv. and then comes the fun stuff :D
It seems most people who take vanco experience mild itching, but i had full blown Itching, chest pains, and a mild asthma attack. It was fantastic. 5 minutes in they give me Benadryl via IV. and the next 2 hours are FAN BLOODY TASTIC. If you've never had Benadryl via IV, i seriously suggest giving it a try.(only if you need it that is :P) I thought a week worth of Morphine Drip was fun, this is better. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to advocate the mis use of drugs, but when needed, some of them can be pretty fun.
Well after that wonderful evening in the emergency, I have 2 more days of IV outpatient therapy to attend. and the wonderful Nurse who runs Outpatient daycare is named Pat. she loves to inflict massive amounts of pain upon her patients. i sit in my chair, Iv almost done, as she lances and squeezes Mr cutie's rather larger staph infection(thank god i didn't get that bad) Mmm he was so cute :P OK back on topic. hehe.
As he's getting lanced and squeezed like a lemon, i laugh. AND Pat looks at me, grins and says "YOUR NEXT ;)" Good mood is officially over.
Luckily as i squirm, gasp, and shriek, I've got Mr Cutie to look at :P (and to endure mild mocking from as i am SO not a Manley man.
Day 2 of IV outpatient therapy, and i have to wait for the doctor to see me. He looks at me, says I'm done, and squeezes my leg. of course it has to ooze, so pat starts up again with the leg. Boy does she love squeezing out legs. and if that wasn't bad enough , she has to move onto my neck. Oh boy do they love bugging me there. While I'm in the room with the doctor, a nice woman decides to check out Scentsy. I'd left my catalogs and scents out. i get back and there's no more catalogs and my scents are being passed around. OK. random lady doing my work for me. i can handle that :D(it's nice when my work sells its self :P)
After a few hours of IV drip, I'm ready to go home :D now lets just remind the world, MRSA is painful... My arm hurts like HELL since my iv was removed, my leg hurts like hell, my neck hurts like hell, every muscle in my body hurts. it's horrible. Is it weird that i enjoy going to hospitals? i don't think I'd admit that to anyone personally, but it's not the worst thing in the world.

Cascade 150 Power Filter -
So I'm very close to giving y'all that review on the Cascade 150 Power Filter :D
http://www.bigalsonline.ca/BigAlsCA/ctl3664/cp17903/si1319660/cl0/pennplaxcascade150powerfilter
I've been seriously debating weather i should give it a shot or not, and have decided that it's gonna happen. Right now I've got my rock feature in the center of my hexagon, 7 Albino Convict Cichlids(from what i can tell, I've got a few pairs of lesbians in that tank, so THANK god i won't end up with more babies)
And of course, I've got an under gravel filtration system. because I'm too cheap for a power-head, I've got the water level about a quarter cm lower than the tube, and my aqueon filter tube inside it(extended about half way down the tank) so it's sucking the water through the tube and out into the tank.(GENUS) hehe
So far they seem to be enjoying themselves, I've also got the Frog tank all finished and am hoping Laura will get her camera out and take some pictures of both tanks. the cichlid tank needs some help first, as I'm not happy with the rock feature yet. i did find a BEAUTIFUL piece of Jade in the coquihalla river, and put that in the tank :D it looks fantastic!!! the cichlids seem to love it. they've got tons of room to swim around as their only the size of a Loonie right now(loonies for those who don't know are 1 dollar coins in Canada)

Misadventures With Mr Right
I've always been a Hopeless Romantic. Always loving Disney movies for their fantastic love stories, and I always hoped to find a "Prince Charming". although live itself is no Disney movie. In fact, far from it. I guess it's rather immature to base your hopes and dreams where love is concerned on a fairy tail, but I'm still guilty as charged :P
After years and years of searching, random mis-adventures with various guys, dates gone wrong, and of course, those relationships that you just stay in cause your lonely, knowing you'd be better off as friends. I have to admit, my last relationship was pretty damn awesome. Aside from the occasional communication malfunctions, and my difficulty with emotions(I'm a work in progress ;) ) it was still really good(at least I thought it was :P)
And I now have the chance to give it another shot :) which is pretty awesome. Now imagine me, Mr awkward. being put on the spot, and demanded upon to pull an emotional feelings conversation. well as i sit in the dining room, my mind literally turns to mush. i can't figure out what to say, I'm flooded with all these feelings and memories. Instead i sit awkwardly downing a spiked slushy.(adding White Grape Cider to a mountain dew slushy is GENIUS)
But after a few VERY awkward minutes of conversation, Things are going in the direction i thought they were going to go before i left home. in fact the minute the words - There's something i want to talk about - left his fingers(how awkward living in a digital era) I had my suspicions as to what the conversation would be like.
That aside, lets not forget a certain someones Giddy thoughts & feelings. In the time I've known Mar, I've come to realize she's got one Fiery Personality. she's opinionated, driven & emotionally intense just like her astrological sign. For the first time I've seen her with a "Special someone" ;) They were insanely cute together :p As I'm chattin it up with Mr Right at the counter, trying to fumble through how i feel about him, I'm picking up on all these Giddy feelings. i soon realize there coming from Mis Mar. (i think she likes her new guy :P)
haha how did i get on the topic of Mar & her cutie? I'm totally lost haha. ANYWAYS, it's super early, i didn't get much sleep, I made the mistake of forgetting my inhailer at home and There is a Feather Pillow lover here.*Cough* *Cough*
Well, I'll for sure keep you all informed about my Misadventure with Mr Right!!!

Caroline Mines & The Fish
So as i mentioned in the camping blog, there are people fishing off the coquihalla river now. The Othello area of the river has been closed to fishing because of the Caroline Mines. When the mines were open, there was a lot of pollution poured into the river, fishing was scarce. It's pretty scary thinking about it all. Well I found out that the river was opened up to fishing, only catch N Release. The Stealhead & Trout are starting to come back in full force. i think salmon is also starting to come back(EXCITING)
BUT at the same time the river starts to come back to life, The mines are opened again. I'm afraid with the fish issues, that their going to start polluting the river. I' love to fish, but i also believe in Respecting the river. the fish are scarce right now, so you respect the river. if you start pouring shit into it, your gonna kill the fish. there already rare in the area. (I'm just going on a rant.)
I'm not 100% clear on the history of the river and the mines, but I'm so excited the Trout & Steelhead are back. For those who don't know, the fisher guy described it perfectly. Steelhead are just Trout who got it in their heads to head into the ocean after spawning. It's pretty wicked.

Well Marläne wanted to see this Twisted sister video, so here it is :P Just for you hehe
Camping - Labor Day Long Weekend :D
I thought I'd share with y'all my camping trip, as there's something in it that I'm sure NO ONE should miss.
So it's Friday, and I've slept in. I realize it's like 1 in the afternoon. AND I'm freaking out. I woke up to the Door buzzer going off. with my clothes still in the washing machine, and me, having a down N out week haven't showered in 2 days(maybe 3 but I'm giving myself the benefit of the doubt ;) )
So I begin to rush. I'm running around the house like a chicken with it's head cut off. I grab my food, my bag, and my computer, and I'm out the door. I forget my Pillow, Blanket & a spare pair of jeans. I even leave my shoes at home. don't forget the socks that are still in the laundry basket.
I pretty much leave with a pair of white track pants and a EXTRA Small pair of shorts. flip flops.
Anyways, Lorne & I get to his building, pack up his stuff, and leave for Othello. After we arrive, and are setting up, i get started on my tent. head into the trailer to grab the air mattress, and find Lorne did some spring cleaning the weekend before. I'm like OMFG. I realize I'm screwed. no blanket, no pillow, no air mattress, NOTHING!!!. well, i decide to wing it just that one night. but before we can get to my mis adventure that evening, we've got to finish on our day :P
When we arrived to our camping spot, there were two trucks parked there, as the river had just been opened up for fishing. Granted it's only Catch N Release at the moment, the Fishing hobbiests are still pouring in. after we've gotten our camp fire going and are relaxing, our fisherman friend comes back to his truck. we get through the introductions, and i soon feel guilty because i forgot another name. but aside from that, we make small talk, enjoy some wine, and the rest of the afternoon/evening. Fishermen eventually decides to head into Hope for a bit. Leaving Lorne & myself all alone at the camp site.
Well after Lorne bugs me about not eating hot dogs, and we engage in some good conversation, lets estimate the time at around 8:30pm. It's dark out already, were sitting at the camp fire. about 10 minutes prior to this misadventure, a white jeep drives past and I'd assumed gone over the hill to head back into town.
As were sitting around the camp fire, I notice someone walking towards us. I'm very alert there, as it's known for it's Bigfoot sightings, among other various paranormal sightings during the camping season.
Well this person is walking towards us. i realize it's a woman, I'm guessing late 20's or early 30's. as she walks towards us, i realize notice somethings missing. i can't quite put my finger on it.
Well, as she walks up to us, i realize whats missing. SHE'S NAKED!!!. she's wearing a shirt that is about 5 inches too short, barely covering her breasts, and SEE THROUGH. she's got stockings coming up just about 80% of her legs, and NO UNDERWEAR!!!. She's got a cigarette in her left hand, her underwear twirling around her index finger; right hand. I'm sitting there like WTF!!! she asks for a light. up till now, Lorne hasn't looked at her. i get up to get her a lighter, and Lorne takes a look. his exact words after are"It's like a car accident on the highway. you can't help but to look."
Lorne's Eye is a little better than mine, as he realizes she's shaved. TMI moment? eh haha.
well after she gets her light, she stands there looking vulnerable for a little while, and eventually leaves. She probably drove by, seeing two young good lookin guys sitting around a camp fire drinking, and thought Hey!!! Imma get lucky tonight ;) Little did she know that she'd walked into the camp of two very gay men. If only Laura was there :P She would have pointed to the girls lady region and said " You missed a spot ;) " Oh it would have been priceless :P
The rest of the camping trip was very uneventful, Lots of wind, some KICK ASS Fish n Chips, a super harsh rain/lightning storm, more wind, and more rain. a few trips into hope proved to be very eventful, i managed to get The Sound Of Music on record :D So Exciting hehe
Oh & lets not forget my basket of fruit(no pun comments please :P) got attacked by some mice while sleeping. i was so disappointed. i wanted my peach. lmao.
Well this is Brian, Signing off. Hope you enjoyed my camping misadventure :P

Angelfish, Freshwater Fish | PetSolutions
Angelfish, Freshwater Fish | PetSolutions
Which Angel fish should i get? Hmm I can't get them from Pet Solutions, but i'm sure i can get them from a local pet store, any suggestions?!?!? feel free to leave a comment and let me know your FAVORITE Angel fish :D
New Hexagon setup & re-vamp of the 20Gallon Breeder tank :D
So I've re-done Laura's and my own tanks. mine is still a work in progress. i need to get the hood, and filter(canister preferred)
So here is what i've done :D
For the hexagon, i took all the sand out of the tank(it was very messy when doing gravel clean-ups) now it is comprised of almost all my Carrot stick gravel(reddish & mixed from petsmart & the guildford mall pet store.)
After long thought & consideration, I've decided to get a dual Hood light for the hexagon, and have a Glow Light & Flora max bulb and get some kick Ass plants for the tank. with a fantastic rock feature in the back(by the under-gravel filter tube). the rock feature is still a work in progress, but it's coming along nicely :D
I'm going to get a cleaning crew of Ghost Shrimp & Dwarf Pleco for the Hexagon as the space restraints make a larger animal slightly disoriented. i don't think it's humane to have a Pleco thats going to grow to 15 inches long in a 1ft Long x 2 ft tall fish tank(aprox)
On top of the Pleco & Ghost shrimp, I'm thinking of having 2 or 3 Angel fish in my hexagon.(FRESHWATER) and including some BLACK neon Tetra's and some obscure tropical fish that are more of a dwarf fish.(The smaller the better) since i don't want to have a 6 inch fish in a hex.(not cool)
For laura's tank i decided to mix the best of both worlds, with a whimsical and biotopic design. we have a penn Plax air stone in a disk shape, for volcano's or rock features. i decided to stick it in the center of the tank and have the rocks in a pyramid shape over top. with some of the "BAMBOO" and Grassy plants coming from the center. with the bubbles all around. i also bunched the plants up all around the rock feature, put a slight path from the castle on the left hand side going to the middle of the tank where the rocks are, and had a WHISPER rock feature Filter in the far right hand side. for those who are unaware what the whisper rock feature is, it's a hollow plastic rock, usually with a U shape on the bottom so the fish can Swim under it, and it sits flush with the back of the tank. it holds a 10 or 20 gallon filter in it, and the water trickles down the rocks. it also hides your heater inside. VERY NICE. I will for sure upload pictures when i get my camera back up and running. it looks VERY cool.
Over all, both tanks are looking FANTASTIC!!!
For the 2nd hexagon, Laura FINALLY gave in and agreed to do a African clawed foot frog tank. OR dwarf frog tank. not sure which she wants, but their pretty much the same thing.
And i will try to post a video of the tank being set up :D that is if laura will edit the video :P
So here is what i've done :D
For the hexagon, i took all the sand out of the tank(it was very messy when doing gravel clean-ups) now it is comprised of almost all my Carrot stick gravel(reddish & mixed from petsmart & the guildford mall pet store.)
After long thought & consideration, I've decided to get a dual Hood light for the hexagon, and have a Glow Light & Flora max bulb and get some kick Ass plants for the tank. with a fantastic rock feature in the back(by the under-gravel filter tube). the rock feature is still a work in progress, but it's coming along nicely :D
