When most people find out that I like Blue Rodeo, they`re quite surprised. Especially kids at school (expect for a select few). They think BR is only for older people, or that the guys in the band are way to old. But the truth is, that they are a great band, for all ages. And that`s where all my friends on the bluerodeo.com discussion board come in. They`re a great bunch of people, and the best friends I could ask for.
I first got hooked on Blue Rodeo around 1997-1998. The TV series Due South had come to Brantford to film an episode ("Dr.Longball"). They were advertising for extras to be in the episode. My parents and I went down to check it out. At the end of each day of filming, they handed out things like t-shirts, hats, soundtracks, etc. to the extras that had been there for the day. Well, #10 on the soundtrack is Blue Rodeo`s "Flying".
At first I didn`t really think anything of it. I listened to the CD a couple times, and then put on the rack. I basically liked all of the songs, but none really stood out to me. One day I was listening to the radio (Kitchener - 96.7 ChymFM) and they played a BR song. When they were running down the list of songs they had played, they said it was BR. I then remembered them being on the Due South soundtrack, so I put it on. Since then, Flying has become my favourite song, and my obsession has grown. Since then, I have bought all of their CDs, been to numerous shows, and found a great group of people who are always reminding me that I`m not alone in the world.
I joined the discussion board shortly after the new site went on-line, and as of May 19, 2005, I had been on the board for 5 years.
When I`m not listening to BR CDs, the radio (either 96.7 ChymFM or 820 Cham), or watching CMT, I like watching Due South reruns or Star Trek, or going on the net to work on my sites, checking out bluerodeo.com, other peoples sites, e-mail, or chatting with my friends. I also like reading, writing poems or stories, drawing, or doing crafts.
I share the house with my parents, a dog (Louie), a cat (Blacky), and my two fish (Fwish and Tor - short for Tornado). We also had a horse named Jay, who unfortunately passed away.
I have some really great friends in my life right now, both from school and otherwise. Most of them are from the board, but I`ve got some really wonderful friends at school too. And I`ve got the best b/f in the world - Matt Kruger. (luv you sweetie!)
This pic was taken at the school, Sept.27/01, just 13 days after we started going out. As you could probably tell, that`s me and Matt. (He is definitely the best thing that has happened in my life!)
I`ve made up a page of all my BR experiences, such as encounters with the band, the fans, or other blue stuff. Click here -> BR Experiences.
