Happy Father's Day....
I wish I had more time to write today, but I needed to get the place ready to start showing. My roommate Scott, moved out this weekend. He is getting married in the next couple of weeks and moved into another place while they were looking for a house to buy. I have come to the conclusion that I am quite content being a renter that is in control of the property that he lives in. It is a different kind of control that you have when you own the place, but you don't have control over who lives next to you, or what happens to the neighbourhood that you live in. Strange things to think about, but I am in the position right now where there are some pretty annoying mexicans that live next door to me. They have lived there since the 1st and already their parking space is full of broken down cars that the guy sits outside of his house and fixes all day long listening to spanish pop music.
I don't mind it half as much as I would if I were the property owner. I am just concerned that people are going to come and see the house, see the group of Corona guzzlers outside the house and just drive on by....
Which effects my ability to rent the place. It has a slight tinge of racism to it, but these guys really seem to fit that stereotype to the fullest.
Such as life.

Anyway, I am needing to get into the shower and go and hang out with my pops on his day.
