ENTRY 208
Sparring Report, Monday November 10
Six rounds.
Three different guys.
Nothing special to report.
Although, I am noticing myself becoming a bit more aggressive. I am forcing guys to the ropes.
The next boxing show hosted by Stockyards, will be in February.
I want to be in it.
I'm looking at Mark Laidman as an opponent.
The Apartment Story
I never did hear back from the landlord of the apartment on Ossigton Ave.
I found out that he is gay.
I think I did not get that apartment, because he was looking for someone gay.
That reminds me of a story. I know, 'Oh. no. Not another one of Paul's stories.'
This one is not that long.
When I first moved to Toronto in 2001, I lived on Church Street. I did not know the area at the time.
Since I was hanging around the area so much, everyone thought I was gay.
When they found out I wasn't, they got angry with me.
"How dare someone who isn't gay, live in the gay area".
Oh, well, geez, I'm sorry. It's not as if I have a switch, "Hey. I think I'll be gay today".
Crazy.
Anyway, up until now, I have still been waiting to hear about the apartment on Jane Street.
That being said....
The Weight Has Been Lifted
Yesterday, I received 'The' call.
A call from a particular management company about a particular apartment.
He advised me to be at the office early next week to sign the rental agreement.
The current tenant is moving this weekend, but the superintendent wants to go in and paint, re-do the floor, and fix a crack in ceiling in the bathroom.
After the reno is done, we can move in.
I have to say I am very happy that a landlord finally agreed to rent to me. That is a huge weight off my shoulders.
Apparently, the superintendent helped. He put in quite a few good words for me.
Thank you.
Now that stress is gone, and on to another: Moving stress.
It doesn't stop, does it?

I am now beginning to see why some people prefer to drive.
