Goin' Right

Hello Everybody! Thanks for the nice compliments on the blog and after careful consideration and a bout of anger with crackbook, I've decided to continue the blog and enhance my writing skills rather than let people I barely know be aware of my every move.... Michael McQuade is having a dump... Michael McQuade just wiped..... Michael McQuade lit a match.... I know, I know, facebook has been a great way to reconnect with lost friends, and let all those past lovers see how fat you've become. I did appreciate the fun that I had with it and must say some of the facebookers that are dilligent in updating their post and posting quick witted humourous responses to posts are a fun way to spend hours each day. Alas, I have to step back a hair and do some more things like... Writing my first book. I'm really focussed now on doing a compilation of these blog entries combined with my surf journal of all the days I've been surfing since I arrived on Haida Gwaii. (approximately 1000!) Wow, that's a lot of blood, sweat and reefer. I've got a bunch of photos like this one up top of a beautiful right-handed wave going off. It's been pretty flat lately, but looks like the model is up for the next week and hoping to shed a few pounds that I gathered over the christmas season. I'm not 100%, but I believe I gained around 135 lbs. Seems hard to believe, but I'm sure if I had a scale it would read in the 315-335lb range. Nobody should be out of breath tying their shoe.... whew...
The writing is coming by way of my new gig as the night security guard at the hospital. From 11-7, I walk around the empty halls of our new and expanded hospital as a result of an unfortunate event a couple weeks ago. A gentleman, well maybe not so gentle, took one of the nurses at knifepoint and demanded drugs. It's too bad that our otherwise safe and friendly town found itself in danger due to a insatiable need to eliminate pain. I really feel for the guy as do the hospital I'm sure to figure out how this could have been avoided. None the less, I'm now responsible in escorting the ladies to our doors when patients arrive. And I must say that our ladies in white are excellent in what they do and troopers for being ready and able at the time when most of us are fast asleep.
Well, all for now. I'll keep you posted on the other things keeping me busy and happy in future posts. Until then, peace out.
