Smelly Tuna (Hallelujah parody)
Well I opened the fridge and I started to Bake a pie ’cause you asked for food But you don’t like pie as much as tuna, do you? Well it goes like this: the bread, the spread The Mayo thick and the pepper red The awful decomposing smelly tuna Smelly tuna [x4] I left it out earlier that day It was piled high on a silver tray Its beauty in the sunlight overthrew you You sat down in your kitchen chair You couldn’t help and you didn’t care And to your lips you pressed the smelly tuna Smelly tuna [x4]…

Whose idea was this?
Seriously. Who had the brilliant idea to post a new blog entry every single day? Oh. Right. It was my own idea. 😒 I’ve started writing a few blog posts of some substance but haven’t completed them because of writer’s block. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get some inspiration and complete them soon! I don’t like posting weird short things like this. Maybe I should share something silly like I usually do! *shrugs* Meh… Seems like too much effort. 😋 M3

Missing the Slave.
I miss the Slave River. Which, of course I do. I haven’t paddled since last summer, and I’ve really been feeling the itch to go. Especially with Paddlefest happening this weekend. There are lots places to go paddling around here, and I’d love to go out. I’ve never paddled in BC, and it could really be fun, yanno? The rivers are completely different than what I’m used to. All of my gear is back in Smith, though. Plus the rivers here are less accessible. It’s really cool to realise that the Slave is as accessible as it is. Anyway. Hopefully…

Please don’t assume.
So tonight, I had a lovely evening with my mother and one of my brothers. We went to watch Wonder Woman at a theatre, which was kind of dangerous for myself. See, I can’t eat food right now. At least, not whole food. I’m on a liquid only diet until further notice. On top of that, my Crohn’s puts popcorn squarely on the “absolute no-no” list, a list that doesn’t change depending on how my stomach is doing at any given moment. I simply cannot have corn in any form in any amount. It sucks. The problem is that my…

I might have to take back my take-back.
But not right now. I’m too tired. Suffice to say that I’m at home after spending the night and day in the hospital. I’ll share more tomorrow!

I take that all back.
Just…everything that I said yesterday, I take it all back. I am writing this from the hospital in the middle of the night. 😂🙃 My symptoms got quite bad again, and I decided I should go in to the ER. I’ve been admitted for the night and we’ll know more tomorrow. Also, just a side note; I started writing this post earlier in the day- much earlier than I usually write these posts -but I’m finishing it at 3:00 am while I wait for blood results. I had intended to write more in this post, but you’re left with this.…

I have to fight, even if I don’t want to.
🐰🐰 Crohn’s. It’s a pain in the butt. Well, more like pain in the everything. As I’ve mentioned in the past, I’m a “Chronie”, meaning I have Crohn’s Disease. Right now, my body is doing everything it can to remind me of that fact every moment of the day. To some extent, I just have to accept that and carry on, which isn’t always easy. Sure, I’ve gotten used to constant pain to some degree, and maybe that isn’t a good thing. Maybe I don’t have to accept that all the time. Other times, I have to shut down and…

Have a picture of a hamster.
I don’t want to write a post tonight. So I’m taking the night off! Please enjoy this picture of an adorable hamster. Night, all. M3

Things got worse.
It’s not that much worse, but still… I sliced open my pinky toe. That’s right! My toe was almost ripped off. Okay, here’s what happened. I finally started feeling good today and because of that, I was gonna get started on doing more work that’s been piling up while I’ve been unwell even though the family was going out for some fun. I got some food juice, cleaned up, and was singing along with some tunes. I was feeling quite well, considering! Then, as I was walking around the house looking for some documents, I hit my pinky toe on…

I want a doggie!
Back home in Smith, our family has three dogs. We’ve had two of them for years, and I got to train them, play with them, sleep with them, and generally do a bunch of things with them over the years. Before those muppies, we had two other dogs. Basically, I’ve never known a time without dogs being involved in my life. Maggie, Macy, and Moxie are family, and while I’m super excited to have my dad and all of my siblings here together (aside from one sibling that I really miss!) in Vancouver, I’m kinda bummed that I don’t get…

Is this reality?
I kinda just want to repost yesterday’s writing. But I won’t! Josh set up his new Vive VR system today and everyone in the famjam got to try it out. It was really, really cool! I tweeted out what Mom ended up doing. Classic! 😂 — Upside-Down Matty (@MatthewTheBird) July 29, 2017 Annnnd now I’m having trouble readjusting to reality after my second go. My depth perception is whacked out, things seem to have no mass, I feel like my phone is floating on its own, I keep thinking my hand will pass through solid matter, and other stuffs. Like,…

I don’t wanna go to bed…
It’s time to take the old train down to sleepy town again. The magical time of day that we get to rest and regenerate our bodies. Such nice. Except I’ve been doing a lot of extra sleeping recently, due to being unwell. I find it very frustrating! Here’s why. I just started feeling decently okay! All of the lovely rest I got during the night is completely undermined when I wake up with the same headache and painful stomach from the day before. In fact, I might as well have just stayed up all night because sleeping doesn’t seem to…

I miss solid food!
You might have already noticed this on my past several posts, but I’m not doing too well these days. Because of that, I’ve put myself on a liquid diet. And in turn, the lack of solid foods as well as being sick, I’m left with very little energy. Anyway, the main point tonight is that I miss food. Solid food. Good yummy veggies, pasta, fruit, things I can actually sink my teeth into instead of chilled juices and smoothies. At least I’m still able to get done form of nutrition into my body. Even if my body doesn’t like having…

I ate popcorn… Oopsie!
I shouldn’t be eating popcorn. I actually should avoid eating corn altogether, but popped corn especially. This is because of my Crohn’s- my body can’t deal with it anymore, which is horrible since POPCORN IS MY MOST FAVOURITE FOOD OF ALL TIME!! Before Crohn’s was an issue, is inhale popcorn at least once a week, if not more. My mom and I were popcorn monsters. We’d make oodles of popcorn just for us and not share with the rest of the family. They usually didn’t care anyway. Tonight we attended the summertime movies in Stanley Park to watch National Lampoon’s Vacation,…

My family’s here!
(Almost) all of my family is now here in Vancouver! Dad is visiting for a while with the kidlets. It’s so great to see them all again! I have no clue what the plan is, but I’m sure we gonna have a blast! Otherwise, today’s been fine. I’ve still not been feeling well, but some things are better. Besides doing some Paddlefest work, I began rewriting a web app that I started working on a few years back. I started by writing a new API for the server backend and I’m considering writing the frontend with Angular. Whatever framework I…

Game of Theories
Yay for episode two of the latest season of Game of Thrones!! 😄 I was reading a bunch of theories for what’s happening next, and I happened upon one that totally blew my mind! It was about Arya. Basically, the theory questions what happened to her while she was training in Braavos and how it affects her actions afterwards. I then got caught in the amazingly rich history of Westeros and Essos, which happens so easily. There’s so much there to soak in and think about. And the ramifications of every little detail really pile up and make you rethink…

Really? Still?
My body is rebelling. I wanted to write a bigger post, but my head is aching again and stuffs. My tummy is behaving, but my head is all messed up right now. Man, I’d like to have my body cooperate with me for once. Like all of it at once. I have work to get done, body! Come on. Sleepy time. M3

My old number.
I know, it seems like a trivial thing… but I switched my phone service to a BC provider and I’m kinda sad now. It was mostly because it’s cheaper (waaaaay less expensive), but also because if I’m gonna be here for at least the next year, it’d probably be good to have a local number to use. Because I changed providers and I’m now in BC, I had to get a new phone number. I don’t want to give up my old phone number. But it’s already done. I got my first phone in 2012. I got to pick the phone…
