I have this headache that just won't go away. I keep taking advil but it doesn't seem to help. Over the last few days I am spiraling into boredom. The less I do the more bored I become. I more bored I have become. I predict that I really will be a vegetable by the time the new year comes around. Good thing we finally have the satelite working, at least I can veg in style while watching TMN.

Almost 4 years of University, you would think that I would be able to install the satellite system we gave my dad for Christmas. 4hours later and we still have no signal to write home about. On the other hand it took me less than 5 minutes to install ADSL for my mom and get her working on it.


My mom needs a silencer. All day she was yelling at me and telling me how to install the satellite like she was some expert. The knowledge she had was what she read in the manual and what she made up. She does that quite often but she will never admit to it. My Mom is great though, she always makes me laugh with her antics. The other day she tried to open the car window but instead repeatedly locked the car doors and then got frustrated because the windows wouldn't open. My family just laughed, then because you could open the window she opended the door to wish people Merry Christmas.

It's over. I blinked and it was gone. The holidays always seem to be so quick. It must be all the anticipation. So much to say, so little time while I am stuck on dial-up. Yes, I know that I am a high speed snob. I actually tried connecting to the internet by placing the phone cord in the ethernet port on my laptop. It took me a while to figure out why it didn't work.


Christmas was good, but now I am stuck in the after math. I have a thousand some odd people to visit and only a couple of days to do it.


Are your grand-parents still around. If so you should go visit them and talk to them. They have so much to say. My Oma and Opa (because i have a dutch background) recieved a mini-disc system to attach to some paradigm speakers (the best speakers ever, yes I am bias I am related to the owners) to. I was rewarded the honour of bringing it over and showing them how to use and install it. Not an easy feat for 80+ but I did it, afterwards we chatted. They had so much to say about their lives and choices and the war. It's really amazing what it takes to get you to where you are today. Go talk to you grand-parents, you'll be glad you did.

Ugh, I know that it has been a while since I lasted posted anything. It's partly because I am home and we don'y have cable or dsl. (don't worry I am fixing that with this years gifts). I'll try tp keep everyone happy with perioditic posts. They will get more numerous as my vacation progresses.


Since I haven't checked my email in a couple of days I had about 12 when I downloaded them. One was from my work asking if It would be okay to start in the 8th instead of the 3rd. No it is not okay, of course I can't actually say that. I have to say something polite to get my point accross. I already have a place, a time to m ove and the day that I planned on starting work. I would like it to remain that way. The only thing they could do it to say here is the 3 days pay you'd miss. Plus i am returning so it's not like I need to be oriented that much, just a little. The company has been assimilated since I left in September.

Oh yeah, I was celebrating last night because I was finished exams. The bad thing is I am done this term and now I have to pack up all my things and move today. Moving and being ever so slighty hung is not a good combination. It could be worse my one friend was so hung over in first year that she missed the airporter and her flight home to Regina. She managed to get another flight and take an hour cab ride to get there. The whole time she was in the terminal she was sick. The best part is she told her parents that she had the flu and they believe her to this day.

I woke up this morning in my own filth. My room was upheaved, things were everywhere and the floor was wet unlike my tongue. When I opened my mouth it felt like sand-paper. I touched it just to see what a dry tongue feels like. It felt weird. After drinking a gallon of water I returned to my warm bed and the stanky-smell in my room. It is better now, my tongue is wet instead of the floor and the smelly pizza boxes are gone.


The weird thing about drinking is that when you get home you are willing to do just about anything to get PIzza. Even when it is after 2:30am and every place you can think of closed at 2. We still managed to find one though and we were mostly passed out by the time it arrived. Then the same old thing happened. I blinked my eyes and all the pizza was gone and everyone decided to go to bed.

It's offical. Much Music is playing that song It's Christmas from Band Aid. There is also that save a poor child commercial running in full force. These two signs have made it impossible for me to try to ignore the fact that Christmas is only five days away and I am still not done my shopping.


Oh, the Band Aid band is telling me to feed the world. Oh wait, now we have a U2 christmas song. I really should change the channel and go back into denial.

Uh Oh! Someone has beat me to registering beautifulmidnight.com, what am I going to do now. Any suggestions on new site names?

What's up with that damn maze of porn! You and friends decide to go that link that some anonymous person sends you through ICQ. You go there, are totally grossed out and close the page. But wait when, you close the page another thousand pages open, and so on as you close more. Before you know it you have an exponential number of pages open and you have to reboot just so your computer doesn't feel dirty.

I think I can answer the question, "why is the enviroment degrading so quickly?". Based on observation today at least 90% of cars that passed me only had one person in it. This seems a little high to me, do people even try to car pool anymore. I really think people should try harder otherwise. Otherwise something really bad will happend. Yes, something bad, I am just not ready to tell you what. It's all a mystery.

Well, one more final written today. All in all it went okay. But Murphy's Law struck again. For this class you were allowed to bring in a cheat sheet. I filled it with everything I thought I could possibly need. Apparently I was wrong because there was one question at the end that asked to run some crappy 2-approximation algorihtm that I didn't write on my sheet. Damn! six marks gone. What can you do, what happened has happened.

I called my landlord today to get a receipt for the four months that I have been living in the Crackhouse now. (I am so glad it is over now, I can move onto some place that isn't cold and doesn't smell like mouse shit when the oven is turned on) Everytime I talk to my landlord I end up babbling. It's because I am trying to compensate for his lack of talking. He really says nothinf more than yes, no and the occasional grunt.


If you are one of the aforementioned type of person I beg you to stop! You are making me feel like a dork.

BTW I recieved my first Christmas present of the year. A nice deposit in my chequeing account. It was for the employee referral program at my last job. I wasn't expecting it for another month. I think It went through becasue they have to clear the books this year because the company was bought out. You don't hear me complaining. Woo Hoo, I have money at the end of a school term for once. This is great.

I really hate trying to sleep. For the last week I have been lying in bed for at least an hour before I finally nod off. This is semi normal for me but it usually doesn't take so long, and once I have fallen alseep I am out until the next morning. This is not true, the slighest noise seems to be waking me. Especially room mates late at night. It's really weird cause it never has happened to me before. It's like I have this heightened sense of hearing at night and I am just waiting for somthing to happen. What that something is I really have no idea, I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Help Me. I am having serious issues studying. The first 3 have wiped me out. I no longer care at all about my last 2 finals. This always seems to happen to me. I need some help here. Make me care, or at least instill fear in me. Only these 2 forces can drive me to study. Without them it is utterly useless. Maybe some how while I am sleeping I will get a clue. Something must click to change my emotional state. Ahhh, why can't I care.



I really don't feel like myself. What is going on here. I feel like a blob. I have no desire to do anything. What is that noise? I shall go investigate.

The blanket finally let me go. I feel so lost without it now. Please take me back blanket. Life without you is meaningless!

Help! My bed has me hostage. It refuses to let me go. I need to study, but the warm warm blankets hold me captive. (Solution: make blankets mobile)

The bad thing about being in school around Christmas time is that your are studying for finals instead of doing your Christmas shopping. I know that you are thinking that finals are more important. That may be, but Christmas shopping is far less stressful. You have to think of the perfect gift. That is only half the battle then you need to find. That seems esay you think. Just go to the mall. You see, that where it gets messed up. The perfect Christmas present is almost as good as finding a place to park at the mall. This is one of the most difficult feats in the world. That and manouvering through traffic.All those things combined I would rather forget about giving gift at all. Then I remember the look people get in there eyes when you give then a gift.


What we really should do is randomly buy gifts for loved ones. This way they won't expect it and it will have much more of an impact... Just a thought.

I wish Saturday mornings were like they use to be. When ever I try to sit down and wacth cartoons all saturday morning I end up giving up around 10. At this time, all the really crappy shows like Hang Time and City Guys comes on. These not only suck but are rather painful to watch. I wish such popular shows such as Tiger-Cats, Smurfs and Transformers were still on. Then I would have some quality cartoons too watch.

How many things do you have aournd the house that you never use. The only reason you have it is because you might need it. I have mouthwash that I never use. I floss everyday and brush at least twice if not more, but I never use that mouthwash. Why do I even have it. It's just ornamental mouthwash. It must be lonely. Let me know what you have sitting around not being used. I'll post the most amusing ones.

The one good thing about moving every four months is that you never hold to crap. I would rather pitch something than pack it up and move it.

Award shows have this knack for drawing my attention. I end up watching performances of bads that i never listen to any ways. Normally if I heard someone like Nelly I would skip it, but not on an award show. For some reason I have to watch and make fun of it. I guess it just amuses me. Especially the way some of the most famous people dress. Maybe I watch just waiting for a glimpse of some star that I like.I think I need to find something more contructive to do with me time. Hmm, maybe I should study.

I was able to write the other exam that was postponed today. That means I get 2 more days for Christmas. The exam was such a joke too. It was 100 multiple choice questions. I was done in 40 minutes but had to stay for an hour because of University Regulations.



The other weird thing that happened was I sort of was picked up. This girl that I had seen in the SLC (student life center) came over an sat by me. We chatted for about a half hour and then exchanged names. When I said that my name was Brad she said she was surprised. Apparently she had thought of a few names for me since the last time she had seen me. One of the options was Andrew. I asked her why and she said it was becase Andrew meant manly or something like that. It's weird to think that strangers think about you even though they don't know you. I guess it isn't too starnge, I do it all the time.

If you think you have the time you should check out Madonna's concert online. It is up until the 19th. Madonna has always put on a good show. I am sure everyone has watched Truth or Dare.

I wrote my final today. It went okay but had a few weird moments. Right in the middle of the exam the prof left leaving nobody in the room to supervise. This is in character for him though. He also gave solutions to an assignment out before the assignment was due. Then when I was finsihed and handed the exam in he gave me this deer caught in the headlights kind of look. It was really weird. I am not to sure what he was doing. Maybe he was surprised that I finished it early.

It was a long sncow day yesterday. It started with the Sound of Music and ended with drunk make-overs. The girls decided that they wanted to do girlie things while we were drnking. To abstain for comeplete boredom the guys did things to themselves or let the girls did it. When I woke up this morning my hair was super-ass-crusty. It was just about the grossiest feeling thing I have ever felt in my hair. My eyes had also been done. All I have top say is guys simply aren't equiped to handle make-up. First of all it is uncomfortable. Secondly, it's too hard to take off, and lastly I don't need. (not that anyone does). Needless to say me an make-up is not happening again. Unless I become an actor or a model or something that requires it. But in that case I won't have to put it on our take it off.


I was pleased to see that I have alternate time to write one of my postponed exams. This is a good thing. I was ready for it yesturday so I will be ready for it today.

Its officual, at least I think it is. The UW web site says that the University has been closed. I am really not happy about this. It is 6:30 in the morning. I am ready to write TWO finals and now I have to wait until the 22nd. What a waste of my precious time. This is just going to delay my Christmas Holidays. This really sucks for anyone who was suppose to fly home and now has to stay to write. This is going to cost people a lot of time and money. Stupid snowstorm, it made me cranky. The truth is we know it is not too hard to make me cranky in the morning, but the snowstorm did it.

*#^@! stupid university has closed down. That means that the stupid TWO exams I was ready to write today have been pushed back until the 22nd. This is really go to screw some people over. Especially those that are suppose to fly home on the 22nd but now have to stay and write on the 22nd. Did I mention that I am not happy about this.

After further reading at plasticbag.org, Tom has made today the official tribute to Buffy. I thought about following suit, but how would that really change anything. I love buffy everyday of the week. I don't think I could save it all for one day.

When I was a kid there was nothing better than a snow day. School would be cancelled and I would play outside throwing scowballs and building snowforts. This would go on for hours until I was wet to the skin and would go inside for lunch and then do it all over again. Now I am 22, in the third day of exams and hoping that school won't be closed tomorrow because if it is I would have to write my 2 exams on the 22nd. Isn't it odd how things change. Under any other situation I would love a snow day. I always like to miss work or school, no matter what the reason, legit or not.

I totally agree with Tom's post today at plasticbag.org about obsessions with Buffy. I have felt this way for a while. When there was a competition between Buffy and Britney. I chose Buffy, maybe I will give the descision one last chance. Who ever comes out with a poster that involves them in leather pants eating cheese will win. It's a win-win situtation everyone would get a laugh if it actually happened and I would get what I wanted. I really like them. I really like them in leather pants, and I really like cheese. Mmmm cheese.

The Christmas Stuffing: Better known as over-eating throught the duration of the Holidays. It all comes down to one premiss. People don't seem to be able to sociallize without food or beverage. This is why you go for "coffee" , have "dinner" parties and go out for "drinks". We simply have the need to have something else to give an excuse to do something. The eating also helps to alleviate lonliness and tough situations at the table. Any ways, the whole thing is magnified at Christmas. This is why turkey is choosen. It takes a long time to prepare giving an excuse for delayed meals times aka staying longer. The meal itself may also contain several courses including salad, second, third and possibly fourth helpings. Then there is the "we should wait" time for dessert time.



Now, you are wondering why such an elaborate plan at Christmas. Simple, this all really a ploy to get family to stay together. Most families do not like to spend time together. Especially extended family. This is why Parents, and Grand-Parents host the affairs. Everyone is forced to spend a sizable chunk of time with one another. All in all it really is quite self-serving.

I am stuck in limbo. I am this studying machine that can communicate with others but what I say is not very intellectual or deep, unless it concerns what I am studying. Studying has change my brain wave patterns. I want them back!

When I was in grade school we used to mark each other's test. We would take the test and after that the teacher would tell us to pass them back or forward. Then she would read out the answers and we would mark the tests. It wasn't that easy though, students would raise their hands to ask questions. Of course we already knew the answer to the questions we asked, what we really wanted to do was harass the person whose test we were marking. We would try to embarass them by pointing out the stupid mistakes they made. By the time this process was over the teacher would have the last laugh. She would make you shout out your mark as she entered it in her book.



Looking back now this method of education doesn't seem so great. All the teacher has to do is write a test. The students take it and then mark it. That seems pretty lazy to me. Is there some lesson that students learn from this? Do you think they still do it today?

I feel so unrested this morning. I went to bed around 1am and got up at 9:30 this morning. I swear every hour on the hour I woke up. So even though I managed to sleep a long time it was wasted and disturbed. I really hate that. I will try not to be too cranky today. I think I am really too old to be cranky still any ways.

As it turns out there is a reason that we should be going to class. In rare situations the prof will give out information that is useful for the final that is not available in the course materials. I think I have learned this lesson many times but it never seems to sink in. Oh well I think I was much happier when I had my psychotic episodes. It's liberating to be crazy. You should try it sometime.

I am right on schedule. Every time I go throught finals. It must be finals, not midterms. I slowly go crazy. I think it has to with the combination of pressure and fear. You really have no time for anything and its not really worth stressing about so instead I take on a mild psychotic disorder. It usually starts with some weird voice that i have made up. I use it once and then before you know it I use it all the time to relieve the pressure and stress. This years voice is "a fatta nina". My room mates where watching the Young and the Restless as I walked by she came to life. So now I make up stories about her and 'skinny Tomas'. I am so normal aren't I. At least I am still happy and not ready to kill someone like other University students.

No matter how many times I watch The Crocodile Hunter it never ceases to amaze me. Practically every episode he finds some innocent creature and he explains it to the audience as we watch for the animal to crack and attak him. On occasion this actually happens. I have seen a whole show dedicated to him being attacked. Today's show was about tree snakes. Even though I have watched him pick up snakes by their tail many times I am always perked up in my chair just waiting. Just waiting for the innocent venomous snake to lay it's fangs into Steve. You would be surprised but this truly does entertain me. That along with his soothing "it's alright mate" comments that he says to the animals. Strangly enought it works. It must otherwise he should really be dead by now.

I was going to grow a beard for the holidays. My reasoning was that I could detract attention from my ear and put it on my face instead. By the time I finished shaving I realized how stupid it looked and got rid of it. I might as well go into Christmas with neon lights around my ear. That's what my mother really want any ways.

In my travels at the Math C&D I saw a new flavour of Snapple. It was some sort of grape and something or other punch. Can you guess what it was called. It is called "Earth". They must have been on crack to get this one by. I have only taking one marketing class but I am pretty sure that you don't want people to think of dirt while they are drinking your product. Even m&m's smartened up and changed plain to milk chocolate. I think that Snapple really should follow suit.

There is nothing better than waking up to discover an hour that you thought was lost. This morning I woke up at 9 am. I thought wow I feel refreshed after that 9.5 hours of sleep. It was actually only 8.5 hours. I thought is was 9 because my remote was cover the 8 making it look like a 9. Any ways this lead me to the realization that I had an extra hour I wasn't counting on. Normally I would have just gone back to sleep, but since it is finals time I was excited about another hour to study. My priorities are definitly mixed up.

Dude, where's my car? is going to turn out to be a funny movie I think. Everytime I see the preview it cracks me up. My only hope is that the bits in the preview are not the funniest one. That is always such a let down when it appears.


If you aren't doing anything tonight I suggest that you watch a Christmas Story on the family channel. It is very funny and will help you get into the Christmas Spirit.

I am really becoming frustrated with my math assignment. I am positive that I am doing it correctly but I keep having to do iterations. I have tried it twice and quit both times once I hit the 8th iteration. This is the hardest I have ever worked on an assignment for my math class this term. I wonder why after all these months I finally decided to try now. It must be the FEAR!

Ahh, no more classes to go to this term.

You know what I really like about cold weather. The way you can see your breadth. It's a sign that says you are alive. You can feel the air as it goes in your lungs. You can feel it warning up inside you and then you expel your warmth out into the cold world where it is not accepted. Instead it puts on a big show and disappears.

Our last ditch effort to studying for exams was a Christmas party held at the big white house. It was a good time all our friends were there. Some we wanted there, some that we did not want there. At midnight we had a gift exhange. Everyone who wanted to participate brought along a five dollar gift and tried to wrap it up all pretty so it would be choosen. I ended up with a nice cup and some candles. Not my first choice but it will do. I am going to do the unthinkable and recycle that gift. I know its wrong, but candles just aren't my thing. The thing that I find most humerous about my friends is that the gifts had quite a range. Some recieved a bible fun kit and another recieved a specialty magazine along with a box of kleenex. Yes I know, I need some new friends.

There is nothing worse than waking up cold. I tried for about an hour to scrunch myself into a tiny ball to retain heat. It just didn't work. When I got out of bed I had to but on a hat and mitts. Upon further inspection the furnace doesn't seem to be working, so I called the landlord. The first question he asks, "Are you out of oil?". If I weren't so nice I think I would had a few things to say to him. I am not stupid, don't you think that is the first thing I checked.

Yes I know it is Claus.

I thought I would give my parents a little motivation to write their wish lists. Here is what I said.


Mom and Dad, you have 5 hours to submit your wish list. If not, a team of highly trained elves will be dispatched to abduct you. You will be taken to the North Pole where you will be subjected to various "Christmas" tortures to get the lists out of you. I am not kidding, and if you think Santa Claws is nice about these sorts of things, you are wrong. Be forewarned!

I have never been in a stag shop. I went in one today. I wish I could take it back. I don't think I was fully prepared for what it had to offer. There was the usual it store kind of stuff. Hey that was a piece of cake. Then there was the ponos and stuff. I can handle that. Dildo's I can handle those. What I couldn't handle and didn't really expect was the fake female genitalia. I didn't expect it to be so elaborate and in your face. You can get just about anything that you want there. Oh, by the way I went there to get a 5 dollar gift for an exchange. You can turn off your dirty dirty minds now.



I don't think I will make a repeat of the visit. It's not really my kind of store.

I really have an assignment to do. I really don't want to do it. What should I do? Can I fake it? I can try.

Time



The future is intoxicating.

It consumes my thoughts.

I lay still as my mind accelerates.

There is no control.

I cannot stop.

I am over-whelmed with what may come.

I cannot focus on the present.



The past is comforting.

It absorbs my being.

It cannot be replaced.

It is gone.

I clearly remember.

I cannot forget.

I cannot focus on the present.



The present is disturbing.

It is unachievable.

It is here.

There is no control.

There is only panic and hope.

It shapes who I am.

I do not wish to be here.

It was just chaos at our house. FIrst I noticed that a firetruck stopped in front of our house. When I looked out the window we saw that there was a car on fire in the driveway next door. Me and all my roommates were staring like a bunch of tourists as the firemen lifted the hood of the car and put the fire out. In all the commotion on roommate was mained and recieved a bloddy nose for walking into my brick wall of a body. Those funny tourists.

Ahh, Sleep has spelled relief for me. Yesterday was crap-tacular for mw. I have been taking zinc to help repair the hole in my ear. I don't think my body was liking it too much. It gave me an upset stomach all day, but I am feeling 100% better today. Did you hear there is going to be a britney spears special. I must investigate!

Life can be so tiring. It seems often that there are no rewards. We must always be optimisitic otherwise we will be bitter people and have no friends.


The good news is I found a place to live in TO. It is on the 21st floor. The top floor of an apartment building on Yonge and Finch. I met the new roommate and I think he will be good. We both have similar tastes. I am going to try my hardest to have a lot of fun this winter. I think it has been far to long since I have had a lot of fun. Fun is fun don't you think?

Well, I was right. My mother totally spazzed about getting a ring in my ear. She said "you disrespect me and your father". I just don't get it. I think they see something different about getting your ear pierced. There is a ton of other things that I could have done that are much worse. I really think they are disrespecting me by not honouring my wishes about keeping it. I am 22 years old and I still have to have battles with my framily. I really hate that.

I really wish that I could turn my mind of when I went to sleep. I always seem to think about all the things that I have been avoiding or haven't focused on in a while. My sessions could go on for hours. I really wish my mind had a switch.

I am going to go home tomorrow. I am pretty sure that I will get into some fight with my mother. It won't be about anything big. Probably over the earing I got, but none the less I still would rather not have to go through the whole ordeal. I guess there is some point in your life where you are not really afraid of your parents. They cannot punish you for the things they do. All they can do is opionate you to death. When I am a parent I think opinions will have to walk a fine line. I don't want to make that my kids don't want to tell me things just to avoid the hassle. Case in point: A friend of mine's sister is getting married. The groom is a different religion. To avoid the hassle, the parents were told that he had changed religions. The couple just wanted to avoid the hassle. That is something I hope never happens in my family.

It's a good thing that movies and plays do not actually reflect what life is really like. I just finished ready Othello. A nice little tragedy by William Shakespeare. In all these little stories anything and everything is solved by killing someone. You think your wife is sleeping around on you, Kill her. You think your boss slept with your wife, Ruin his life and for extra points get a lot of people killed in the process. I guess it makes for a good story but it is still violent. I guess mankind has learned to be desensitized from an early age.

Do you ever feel like you are wasting time. You are just occupying it. You do nothing constructive with it. You could do something with it, but you never do. Instead you waste it. That is what you do. Is that my purpose? Finally something that I seem to excel at. Now if I could just focus those energies that go into wasting on something for the greater good of mankind. I could solve world hunger and not tell anyone because I wasted my time.

This weekend has been good for R and R. It has been very poor for getting work done. I guess I healthy mind is better than an over taxed one.

This little poem came to mind last night.



It's easy to ignore, to give up, to feel alone.

It's hard to try, to love, to let go, to let you in.

I am listening to my new love. I think she just sealed the deal. One of the lyrics refers to love being a circle, a mobius strip. This probably would only impress math geeks like me, but none the less. She said it.

I think that my obsession with Chantal Kreviazuk is in danger. A new girl may be able to steal my heart away with her blue eyes and black hair. The only problem is Nelly Furtado is 19. I think I may be too old for her. Not really, maybe it was all just a twisted lye so the young teens will still think that they have a chance with her.

I am coming down with a case of nintendo thumb. I have been playing "Bart vs. the Space Mutants" way too long. I am getting better at it though.

Nintendo can be so addictive. Today I was doing work and as a reward I would play the Simpsons on Nintendo. At the beginning of the day I could barely make level 2 yet alone beat it. Now at the end of the day I am much improved. I can beat level 2 and am on my way to beat level 3. This either means I did a lot of work today or over rewarded myself. You decide.

In response to this: I am just a really bad typist. I don't bother to proof read or fix up my posts. That does not make me a bad spelling. Just a lazy ass!

My new who name is Beekeeper Brad Sizzle-moo-who. If you want to know yours, check out city hall at www.meanone.com

Work term reports are the scourge (got that one from mayhaps) of the coop experience here at Waterloo. For the first 4 work terms students required to hand in a 10-15 page analysis that has to do with their current job. For the first 2 reports I did satisfactorily. Nothing special. I just did them. The 3rd one there was a little comment that basically said id I handed in something this crappy it would never recieve credit for my fourth report. With this in mind I handed in the 4th one last Spetember. I picked it up today. The first thing I saw was this little letter attacched to the front. (My heart dropped, for sure my work report has been rejected). I read the letter. It was quite the opposite. My work report had recieved an oustanding grade from the university and was a candidate for work report rewards. This amused me way too much. Sometimes I guess I can just turn it on. Now all I need to do is find the switch.

During my class this groppy (grow-pee) couple kept annoying me. They would poke at each other and flirt etc and they did it for the entire class. I wish the groppy couple would just get a room. The class room is a place to learn, it is only acceptable to have sex there if no one is around.

There was a boy who decided that lever 200 body wash was the thing for him. (It rated highest in scents that women like, but there are many other factors that may add to the reason such as soft skin. women dig that). To go along with this he need a lather builder (aka shower puff). He loved this lather builder and used it all the time until one day ot broke. The string that kept it together had fallen off and the lather builder unravelled and was no useless. In an effort to replace he looked in the drugstore and the grocery store. The only thing to be found was a lather builder with disney characters built in. This was not acceptable. What will our hero do? The saga continues....

I saw my room mate open piece of mail that was not hers. Does that make me an accesory to it?

The weekedn was great. Lots of good friends (minus a few good friends that where unable to make it) and lots of fun. The highlight would have to be 5 or so of my 20 something friends trying to dance like Britney Spears in Oops I did it again...

There is nothing I hate more than people who ignore you when they are mad at you. Does that make me confrontational. I really don't like it becase it is probably over something that would be so easy to resolve. Another negative thing that happens is you sometimes get mad at someone for being mad at you. What can you do though. You can't change people can you. Then they aren't the person you liked in the first place.



I am off for a chalet this weekend. There will be alcohol consumption with 26 of my closest friends. It will be lots of fun. I hope you are having a good time this weekend to.

BTW, I went with Tracy. If you want to check out a pick of hers check it out here.

Today has been an interesting day. It became another mental health day. I slept until 12 which was great. Now I am completed rested. Then I went out and got a piercing. The one depicted below. Doesn't that look fun. I know you are jealous. No, it did not hurt. Yes, my parents will freak. I am 22 now, they should realize the have no say in my life. Just opinions. All I have to do is teach them that opinions do nothing to sway the stuborn.





There is only one downside to my new pearcing. No one can suck on my ear for 6 weeks. I don't know how I am going to live without that! ;-)

There is a battle that must be fought every morning. Do I get out of bed and greet the world or do I stay under the warm warm blankets?

Today has been a good day. I have dubbed it my 'mental health' day. I was feeling fine, but then all of a sudden I ijust felt burned out. I guess school was getting to me or something. It's the something I should be worried about. It could still have harmful side effects on me. I think the new something could be finding a place in Toronto to live this winter. It's going to totally suck. First off I am the only person I know who is going to live there so I have to find a place for one. One definetly is the loneliest number. I am sure there are other reasons but that one concerns me the most.



Yeah Mental Health, it just doesn't last enough.

I have been in math way too long. Tonight we actually compared life to a linear program. You want to minimize the bad times and maximize the good times.

I don't know how it happened, but it did none the less. I fell in the shower. Don't worry though, my hip didn't shatter.

It was interesting night last night and complicated. The movie went well, a car broke down and a lesson learned.

There once was a lowly 22 year old boy that wanted to see the movie Charlie's Angels. Why do suppose he wanted to go? Was it the plot? No. Was it Luzy Liu? No. Drew Barrymore? No. Cameron Diaz? Umm, not exactly. It was because he wanted to see Cameron and the other girls. He just really wanted to see Cameron shake her ass in her underwear. I think a new low has been achieved. But as always, it is not illegal.

The other day we felt lost. After being in University you come to ecpect some norms. After about the first month there is an informal seating arrangement. Yes, I know this is very grade 2 and we should have gronw out of it, but having your "spot" is comforting. Any ways, the other day we showed up to class and someone was in out seats. We had no choice but to take someone elses seats. It was hard. I don't know why, it just was. I guess the point is, we should never get to comfortable with anything. What fun is it if life is the same thing day after day. We need some variety and a little spice.

Hmm, home-made sushi is way better than the expensive stuff they try to sell you in those "authentic" restaurants, or our local coffee and dounut shop. We made over 60 rolls tonight for the 5 of us to eat. Yes we are a little full. The first batch suffered from rice-turbation (the nice new word I made up to describe a roll that had way to mmuch rice in it), The second batch was the cream of the crop. We out did ourselves. The learning curve on sushi is way lower than I would have expected, and most importantly the act of making sushi is not illegal!

I did something illegal, or at least I particiapated. Actually I admit to no wrong doing aty anytime. You see there was a pretty package that was sent to a fictional person at this address. The nice package sat around her for a while. Then it was plpaced out and marked with Return to Sender. No one wanted it. The poor package. It was feeling unloved and revelealed itself to us. It was a crappy package though. It had nothing good inside. I guess a lesson was learned.

My friends have serious issues with camera mis-management. I left my camera unattended a couple of times for this last role of film and now I am the proud owner of: 2 croch shots, 3 ass shots, and 4 bad pictures. I really should learn to guard my camera better,

I added a new Stories section to the site. I think why is self evident. I am just a messed up person.

Does your toliet flush with authority. There is nothing worse than a wussy toliet. I once lived in a cockroach infested plance and that toliet had non authority. It couldn't even flush toliet paper.

Sorry for eating up the bandwidth, but it was too funny to pass up. Everyone should hear Kermit and Bigbird while they are high.

Ahh, I am back on Mac OS X. again. The reason I stopped using it was because the mp3 players available sucked and I always listen to mp3's. Soundjam released theirs and it works great. I am going to give the switch another try. I just wish there were more apps. I guess I will just have to wait. This was all, just so you would know.

Happy thought of the day. Just Picture your roommate spilling sugar on themselves. Where did the sugar go? Well, my roommate spilled sugar right down her pants past the protective layer, if you know what I mean. I have no clue how this is possible, but it is funny none the less.

After downloading 10 Crystal Method songs I finally found the one I wanted. It's called high roller. I think it is a good song to get yourself pyshed up about something. I think I will try it for my next midterm.

This was a tiring weekend. Despite my better judgement I went home. It was good until I actually tried to leave. At this point my mother got upset because I didn't have time to do the things that she had asked me too. That combined with daylight savings time I am very tired right now. I also have tons of work to do. Yeah, yet another week of fun. I guess I will just have to drink too much one of these nights. That always makes things better.

After being in University for 3 years you see people in your program all the time and you never talk to them. You just know they are in your program. The other day I saw someone that I have seen for a while and I had never heard him talk before. For some reason his voice is not what I expected it to sound like. It's weird how people form opinions based on appearance and such.

Finish a Midterm

+ 2 friends

+ 5 pitchers of Blue

Trouble and Mayhem

Come on over baby. I have something going on. It's a lovely modterm. Aren't you excited for me!

Another day another dollar. That is what they say. How come they never say that's how you earned it. I am feeling a little silly today. I think I should tell a silly story. Too bad I don't know one. I could make one up?



There once was a boy named Brad (gee that sounds familar). He sure could swing his megaphone. Everyday he would speak into it and gain the attention of all the people around. He would tell them how wonderfulk they were and what an honour it was to be in their presence. The people loved this and Brad became their leader. They lover him, and he loved the power. One day he went swing his megaphone it was gone. What would he do now. He needed to greet his people. If he didn't say what he said everyday, they would be sure to revolt and he would no longer be their beloved leader. Brad, mustered up all his courage and went out greet his people. He gave them the message he had always given them. The people revolted.



Why did they revolt? Let us think of some possible solutions.... Without the megaphone he had no grace or presence. Nah. I am not really sure. This story didn't turn out very good or captivating. If you are still reading, I guess that is a good thing.

Well, it is getting to be that time when I should really study, but I am talking to you again. I do think pretty faithfully. You have become one of my longest relationships.



Last night when I was going to sleep, I kept think about high school. All the the angst and how I felt about my friends and all those other people. It leaves me with a couple of questions. I would like to do it all again with my new found strength. Is this allowed, or is teen trauma the point of it? The second question is, if I went through 'teen trauma' with all these people how come I remain friends with so little of them? One theory that comes to mind is you use a friend up until they have nothing left for you to take, or them to give. Then you move on the next friend that fills in some void in your life.

That was my deep thought, not Jack Handy. (that's pretty old school)

Strange Sight of the Day: As I was walking by the Micheals (a craft shop, not crap shop) there was a harse and buggy parked. I am not sure, but I thought when the Mennonites rejected motor vehicle they would have rejected stores and electricity and all that other stuff. Any ways it was really an odd side to see.

The low of my day was I wrote 2 midterms. They were okay, I can't complain. I survived as always. On the high note, I had the shit scared out of me. I went to throw some garbage out and just as I threw it in, a squirrel jumoed out of it and scared the shit out of me. I almost spilled the remnents of my coffee on myself.

You know what I hate? I hate it when I get in an elevator and it goes to the basement before it goes up. This only happens because the elevaor doesn't say which way it is going.

Ugh! I managed to do a whole lot of nothing yesturday. I guess that means I will have to go hard core. You know what my roomate says. "Go hard or go home". I wonder if that is suppose to have some sort of sexually conentation?

I think I may have a slight problem. Yesturday I drank from 12pm until 2am. The weather made me do it I swear. It all started because I didn't want to go to class because the sun was shining and it was oh so nice outside. I convinced a few people to skip class and have a beer out on the patio and listen to the live jazz music at the Bomber. Before I knew it we had recruited 8-10 people for out little adventure. We ended up going through a pitcher each and the i took a wee little break and started on a little pub crawl at 9 which was cool and ended at a kareoke place. The only problem was that since I had been drinking all day I didn't really have a buzz or anything. I think it has to do with a steady stream of alcohol in the blood or something like that. Needless to say, my liver worked overtime yesterday.



Today I have to study for the 2 midterms I have on Monday and finish an assignment for Monday. Wish me luck!

I wanna make you holler!

Well, I wrote the midterm. I guess you could say that it rocked both ways. What I knew, I knew. What I didn't, I made up.



I feel nostalgic today and decided to make some digital art. I never said it was good!


Sorry I ran out of space and had to take this down.

If the tiredness of life were to become to much for one person, could you share it among several. What does it mean to really live vicariously through someone. You don't really feel what they feel, you feel what you think they are feeling. That really isn't living is it?



Have you ever played a game? Are you playing it right now? Do people know that you are playing this game?



I am tired, I must go now. I have a midterm that is going to rock some how. I am not sure if I will rock it or if it will rock me. That is TBA!

A simple kind of life:

• Breathe


• Eat


• Live


• Love


• Die

This best sums up my thoughts today.



I think you're so mean - I think we should try

I think I could need - this in my life

I think I'm just scared - I think too much

I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing



Who is we? I am not too sure. Maybe it is the other halt of my persona. You know like Homer and his brain. They don't communicate to often. Mabye it is time for the meeting of the minds so to speak. The mind that is really smart and gets it right away, and the mind that has lots of fun.

"You know me, I wait until its too late. Until I'm fucked"



That seems to be my mission statement in life lately. I don't know what's wrong I just can't seem to start any of my assignments within a decent ammount of time. Somedays I wish I had on a class or two. That would make life very relaxing. Damn those goals of mine!



Sorry if I've offended anyone with my potty mouth.

Everything I know, I learned from Oktoberfest!

• Drunk pizza, is the best pizza


• Calling the bouncer a piece of shit won't stop you from getting kicked out of a bar. (Not that I did, it was a friend)


• When a girl tries to bite your nipple, it hurts!


• Nice warm, salty pretzels go very well with beer.


• Jag is the best killer shot. You can count on it to put you over the edge


• The combination to most people's locks is alcohol. They are willing to divulge anything that you ask them


• Passing out is the most well deserved sleep and also the most rewarding


• Not being able to find your pants the next day is a good sign that you enjoyed the night before


• "I don't want her, you can have her, she's too fat for me" is a valid excuse

Oktoberfest Tip's

• If the chicken dance song comes on, you must dance


• Never take your friend's hat and take it away.


• Don't refuse the death challenge. (death challenge = 5 Jag shots)


• If you take a sign from the establishment, don't get caught


• Make sure you have beer, sausages ans sauerkraut.


• Zigga zagga zigga zagga oi oi oi


• The song, "You can have her, she too fat for me" is funny

Today is the day I participate in Octoberfest. If all goes right I will participate in many shots of Jag and lots of other alcohol. Yes, I will be abusing alcohol tonight and I will not be drinking in moderation. If I did that I would never get drunk and do those funny things that make people laugh and those other things that piss people off. I will try to minimize those though.



I had more weird dreams last night. This time I won a capture the flag game by scaling a really tall tower. Only in dreams can I scale towers. I remember it being a lot of fun though.

It only took me 85,000 tries, but I finally fixed the navigation side bar and added a link to last months blogs. See what I do for you! (ha ha that was the old design)

Everything is Codarific. I managed to score an employee-referral bones. Woo hoo more money for me to spend on beer and cheap hooker. Actually was kidding about the beer. ;-).



You know I am kidding right?

I am so tired of coding. I really don't think I should be in CS. I am not even actually done the assignment. I still have the written part.to do. Maybe I will have more time tomorrow. Afterall it is the start of the weekend.

Apparently I can't serve a clip[ from this account. I will just have to keep you all in suspense.

The Britney vs Buffy saga contimues. An interesting article?

Well, I think I am over my OS X phase. I am back on OS 9. 10 is cool and everything but you can tell it is a beta and I not prepared to do all sorts of little workarounds. So for the time being call me OS 9, The one thing I loved in 10 is that my powerbook takes less than a second to wake up. The bad things are, there isn't a whole lot of software yet.

Well, I got my hot little hands on Mac OS X. It looks pretty cool so far. The only downside it that there isn't a whole lot of software for it yet. Plus I am still a little partial to this GUI, the new one is easy also.

I am too tired and sick to blog. Sorry. Maybe tomorrow.

I am feeling a lot better about my OS assignemnt. I feel codarific. It turns out that I have a pwer coder in my group.



Today has been an interesting day. In my first class this is what I was think about my teacher.


blah blah blah, I am the teacher

blah blah blah, I need the text book to teach.


Then I drew a picture oof him that I though was so funny that I started laughing in class I could hardly contain myself. It was all good though.


On a high note, I actually recieved a few emails about Britney vs Bufty. Needless to say, Buffy won. Thanks to those that responded (it made my day).

Every night, I keep going to bed a little earlier but when I wake up I am just as tired as I went to bed if not more. Complaining about things never helps any ways. I am watching the teen choice awards, contrary to believe they are not as much fun the second time around. It does lead me to an interesting question. Who do I want first, Sarah Michelle Geller or Britney Spears.

Thanksgiving, to go home or not. I guess I will go home for at least a day, but that is still one day less of work that I can afford. I should be spending all my time married to my OS course. Life would be so simple without that course. Newman!, Dang those required courses. Too bad I couldn't just get those honourary degrees like famous business people, that would be so little work.



I like ed the sock.

I am indifferent towards 6 club 7

Stream of Conciousness: sat at the corner. look at the corner. This is definetly a weird concept for me. My thoughts are getting mangled with song lyrics. Wish I could fly. If I should try would you catch me if I fall. No. why would you do that. Is it too cynical to think that when you will need it help you won't be there, You know what they say, you are the only person that you can trust. I like thins song. I like to sing. It makes me feel free. I wonder why that is. While you sing you feel invincible, but they you stop and look around and if anyone were to see or hear you, you would feel stupid. What does a painter look like? Another time I guess, I want to feel right now. Free like all my work is done and I have flown away from this wall.

I can slowly feel myself becoming nocternal. This is bad. I should be awake with the living, not the hedgehogs.

I am so very tired. I don't know what to attribute this to, but the fact that I am. I think I am going to be very a tired a good portion of this term. Yeah me! Yeah no. I hate CS.

After seeing this first quote on Modern Humorist I know it will be a good site. George Washington “Saw Jefferson today in the men's room. So much for his theory that all men are created equal.”

1 big-ass couch

5 room-mates

1 poorly architected house

1 hour later

1 hole in the ceiling

Today is the day I get married. It's not quite what you think, but it is just the same. Today I am starting an OS assignment for my CS class. Basically what we do is take a unix kernal that they give us. It is called NACHOS, and we extend the functionality of this. Thankfully we get to do this in a groups of 1-3. I have a group of three. So for the rest of the term I will be married to my group and the OS course busting my ass making a few procedures work so I can graduate with a CS degree that I am not really sure if I want anymore, but it is way to late to turn back now.



What would you do if I followed you? What would you do?

I have no self-control. I said that I would do 2 assignments on Saturday and not go out. What did I do, I went out and I accomplished absolutely nothing. That really sucks. It is suppose to be turn-around week. The only way I can make up for this unfortunate incident is to complete 3 assignments today. Yeah right we all know that's not going to happen. I will surf the web instead or read something that I shouldn't. I did enjoy myself last night though. I caught up with a lot of friends that I haven't seen in a while and we had lots of interesting conversations. I guess the high-lite of the night would be ... While I was in the bathroom I noticed a machine. It sold condoms and it also sold sex games and toys. Only a dollar. I couldn't resist. After putting my money in, I found myself the recipient of a nubbed cock ring for her pleasure. This is not what I was expected at all. It still was funny though, and now it is on display at my house.

I am going to bed drunk and I have a blur tongue!

To my surprise this morning when I checked my email, my brother had sent me a digital postcard. It was 2mb and about 3 minutes long. Pretty good I think. It makes me jealous. I want a Digital Video Camera now. Apparently he can afford it because his roomate, lets call him Bob was able to get a deal and save him 1500 dollars. Let's think about this for a second. Somehow I think it is a "HOT" special if you get what I mean. How else could you save so much a on an expensive item. That's like 75-80 percent off, what a "STEAL".



I have too much work to do. All my lovely classes have to many assignments and all my midterms are within a week of one another. This is going to be one fun term.



I went to got see the exorcist last night. It was sold out. I paid 11 dollars to see The Watcher. It was not worth the money and Keanu didn't even say his token line. "Woa"

I am not impresses at all with my C&O teacher this term. I am not even sure if he is a prof. You would think that someone who has devoted so much time into math they would be able to distinguish between a u and a v. His look the same except I minute detail, so I spend the whole class trying to figure out which is which. At least he gives me lots of times with his Ahh, ahh, ahh breaks. At least it is not ummm.

I am glad to be back in school, but I am just starting to have the side affects. I dreamt about a CS (computer science) assignment that I had last night. It scares me when I do that.

I think I have a knack for pissing people off. I think it is because I am in a cranky mood. I love to spread it around.

You learn something new everyday. Apparently in California the little facial hair patch under the bottom lip is called a 'cum catcher'. that is definitely an incentive not to grow one.

After taking many tests at Emode I can conclude several things about myself. Here goes:

• My IQ lies between 114-136 (t took 2 tests)


• My flavor is jalepino


• My true colour is green


• My breed of dog is a pug


• I am an activist


• My aura is golden


• I am a regular joe coffee drinker


• My celebrity match is Lauren Hill


• My super power is x-ray vision


• My emotional age is an adult


• My type is the girl next door

I took 2 I.Q. test tonight. I scored 114 and 136. The ave is 100. One says I am above normal. The other genius. I must just have my moments, cause sometimes in class I feel way below average.

Whoa. I just went for a jog. I am way more out of shape than I thought. I guess it doen't help that I have a cold or allergies or whatever I seem to be suffering from at the moment. My goal is to be able to run 10k by december. If I can do this I will look into triathalon training. Maybe I could be the next ironman.



On a side note. Thanks to you have been faithfully looking at my site. Moral is low at the beautiful midnight team. (Yes, there is an 'I' in team). Visitors are at an all time low of around 4 a day. 3 of this visits originate from my room-mates. I am not sure how i will fix this problem. Maybe I will make the jump and register the domain name if it is not taken. It could be a part of turn around week. BTW turn around week has been pretty successful. Procrastinination is in a decline and productivity is on the rise.

I ate way too much cake and now I feel like I am gonna puke.

I am becoming such a geek. While I am on work term I become cooler. The second I get back to school I spend time on the wrong things. For the last 20 minutes I have been deciding if I was to pay for Mac OS X. There must be a way I could get it for free isn't there. Hmm, I shall spend a few minutes looking into that.



I haven't been able to check the stats on my site for the last week or so. The page always seem to be under maintenance. This is really starting to piss me off. I want to know if I have faithful followers that I can use to take over the work some day or not. "First Rule of Project Mayhem, You do not talk about project Mayhem."

Is it wrong to be so excited about the season premiere of Buffy. I can hardly contain myself. I think my next big plan in life it to rip my body out a little more and replace Riley on the show. Right after I finish University and become a VJ on muchmusic.

Yeah, I finally have my hands on my new mouse. It is wat cooler than I thought it could be. The laser makes the whole unit glow at night. Now when I fall asleep I have the green pulse from my powerbook and the red blink if my pro-mouse.



Today is suppose to be my turn-around day for the term. Now that I have thrown a bitchin kegger, skipped most of my classes, and generally dicked my time away I will now become serious about school and so the associated work. Wish me luck.

I totally agree with today's For better ot Worse

Morning all. I feel so much better today now that I have had 12 hours of sleep. I am surprised I even slept that long. I guess keg parties take more out of you than you expect.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. To top off our keg party at 7:30 this morning all of our fire alarms went off. It was not a pretty site. 8 people with hangovers that are forced to wake up. It took a very long time to figurre out what went wrong to shut them off. The one in the basement shorted out. Yeah, another thing wrong with out Crackhouse.



The theme of our kegger was "Save the Crackhouse". It got quite a few laughs.

Well, 4 kegs later I am still standing strong. The party was really good. We had lots of people out and everyone had a great time. The only crappy thing was that it rained last night so we had to move the party inside. My room has a nice beer smell. I am trying to cover it for the time being with glad votive candles. A nice vanilla flavour. I did manage to get myself in some trouble. In my intoxitated state I fooled around with a girl I have known for a while. Probably not a good idea, but I don't really know what I want yet, I guess I will just have to wait and see. I am sure that it will become a hot topic of discussion.



I am really craving pizza. The party didn't end until 4 and at that time all the pizza places are closed. I think I will have some tonight. Lots of pizza and garlic pizza sauce.

Today is the day of our kegger. I am way too excited. Beer beer beer. This keg party is kind of hurting me. I am way too excited and am unable to attend my classes. Within the last 2 days I have attended 1 out of 5 classes. One was cancelled. I skipped 3. This really should stop, but all I can think of is the overflowing plastic cup of beer that I will be consuming tonight. I think I may even be crazy and drink from the tap. Maybe not though, I don't want to be down for the count too early.

Tonight has been eventfui. We picked up the kegs. I paid for $400 dollars worth of beer. The anticipation for tomorrow is revving high. It will be a great night. All my friends will be there and we will all be very happy.



My room-mate also spotted the mouse tonight. It is kind of like pokaroo. She is the only that sees it!

I skipped my first class today. Sorry, let me clarify, the first class of this term. I just couldn't take my prof. I learn by reading the text than I do from him. I hope you can all forgive me.



We also have a new addition to our lovely crackhouse. A mouse. Yes, we are thrilled to wake up in the morning and see all the wonderful little dropping on the floor and on the counter and on the microwave and on the stove and on the dishes left out and yes, in the drawers. I am really starting to believe people when they say this house should be condemed.



On the brighter side, One more day until the keg party. Woo Hoo!

Yeah, two more days until my kegger and I get to watch Twin Peaks too. Life is great today. I think it is because I started the day out with a good breakfast!

My blogging has just been shot to hell. Partly it is because I haven't really had good net access. The other part is the pain and 'commitment' to school has started. Not that I am commited, but I really should be. Hopefully soon I will add a new lyric and a new desktop pic. I am not going to worry about it to much though. The traffic on this site has plumited. I guess I am just not funny enough. Here is a nice story for everyone though.



I went to a wedding this last weekend. It was pretty painful. The ceremony and stuff was all cool, it was what to follow that was not a bag of laughs. I wasn't invited to the actual dinner (none of the cousins were). So we had to wait around with my cousins and stuff. I don't really get along or know my cousins well enough so it was like pulling teeth. After dinner we met up with everyone at the reception hall. This is where I regressed back into the 5 year old that really wants to go home. Have I ever told you how painful it is to be stuck somewhere. I was so desperate that I would whisper in my parents ears that I wanted to go. I was whining like a 2 old, I was also having allergy issues. Moral of the story, DON'T GO TO A FAMILY FUNCTION IF YOU DON'T HAVE A WAY OUT.



4 days until the kegger. Yeah!

I had a really weird dream last night. I have been waiting for my new mouse to come. You know, the nice new optical one. Anyway, in my dream it finally came and when it did it was almost as big as my powerbook. I could see the laser and everything, but I was really confused because it was so huge. Why would I possible be excited about a mouse that required two hands to operate. It was all so very weird.

That wasn't even the strangest dream I had last night. I won't tell you the rest because I would look way more twisted than you already think I am.

Well, the first week of classes is almost over. I think that it is going to be a good term, but very challenging. The most challenging part will be to do everything that I should and not ignore the little things like blogging ;-)

I figured out why my @Home service wasn't working for the last few days. I set it up as static instead of as dynamic. Oh Well I only have enough time to tell you that it's up and that I am going to the Bomber tonight (campus pub). I am off to pre-drinkn now.

Hey All. I am not dead from the mould yet. Today was a good day, We painted the hall and a handy-man came and installed doors. I am way too excited to have a door. Now I can do things in my room that you can't do when you don't have a door. Tomorrow they are coming back to clean out all the crap in the basement and clean all the funk from everywhere, I am way to excited for this to happen.



Tomorrow is also the first day of classes. I have solid classes from 11:30-2:30. It should be could to be learning new things though. I don't think I will be as happy at the end pf term though. I will keep you updated on our 'Blair Witch' house.

The house is still killing me. Since I have been back for almost and hour my nose is running and I seem to have an upset stomach. This cannot be a good thing. I feel like the landlord should clean up this stuff, but I have a feeling that I am going to end up doing alot of it.

I think my house is killing me slowly. The basement is full of mould and I have a friend who says it is a health risk. I am starting to believe him. I guess I will have to put my 'bitch' on and talk to the landlord once again.

If you switch 2 of the numbers in my new phone number you get the police. I hope no one accidentally calls me.

Well, I am finally back online. How great it is. I really feel disconnected when I am not online. I am also very bored since aq lot of the things I do are online. I am almost moved in to my place now, but it is a bit of a hole. Actually it is worse than that, we gave the landlord a list of things we would like done and he is going to do them, so it should be cool. Right now it is smelling like a cottage and the basement seems to be a breeding ground for vermon. It will be great once all the improvements are done.



I have so many other sites to look at, I will do a better update soon.

Just a quick note. I am not dead, I just don't have net access. I should on friday though.

Good Morning, Today is my last day at work. Hopefully I will be out of here by 2 or 3. No one stays for the whole day on their last day do they? nah. After that I get to move home and stay there for a few days and then move to Warterloo on Monday. It's going to be a hectic couple of days sice I will have a shitload of errands and crap to do inbetween. It also doesn't help that is is going to be super hot and humid and moving. I am looking forward to my new place though. TTYL.

I am way too excited, I got a bonus at work. It's deluxe kraft dinnner this school term for me. None of that original stuff!

Another story:



It had been hours since Brian had had any actual human contact. For the last hour he convinced himself that the monitor he was staring at for the last 4 months of his life was killing him. His theory was the monitor was emitting radiation which was causing the tumor in his head to grow rapidly and that one day his head would explode leaving gray matter all over the screen and the cubicle walls. Brian had a problem.



Susan stood up and instantly saw Brian with a dazed look on his face (his head had just exploded). Susan liked Brian when he joined the QA department but now it was different. All day long he would stare at his screen with a mindless gaze as he performed his testing. It appeared as though Brian had no idea that he was working in the first place. For all intensive purposes he was dead.



Susan walked over and stood behind Brian. He didn’t notice her.



It started to rain.



Susan had once loved Brian. After he started in QA they dated and had married a year later. They were still married, but now Brian was gone. Susan had no idea where he had gone, but he was gone now.



Click.



Brian’s tumor throbbed.



Bang!



They fell.



Susan felt the pain drain from his eyes, as she lifted the gun and placed it by her heart. This was the end. It was over.

Today when we were going for lunch we actually saw people "sleeping on the job". There was about 6 of them lying on the floor of a store that was being renovated. It was a site to see.

I am dying!

What does that mean?

It's obvious.

No it's not!

Isn't it?

No.

Check out this arcticle at the Onion. Dolphins Evolve Opposable Thumbs: 'Oh, Shit,' Says Humanity

I just added today's lyric.

Hey y'all! Only 2 more days until I am done. This is good, I am already dreaming of keg beer. The only problem is I don't really have any work left to do. I guess I will have to make up this void with many useless blog entries.

Today at work I noticed that the bathroom door had braille on it. The first thing I pictured in my head was a blind person roaming the halls with their arms out-streched trying to read all the doors.

My last post disappeared. that sucks. here goes again.



Ice cream taskes so good. It has a rejevating effect. I feel so much better know. The only problem is Jamoch Almod Fudge will make me fat.

Woah, I just went to subway and it was too much for me to handle. There are now 5 types of bread to choose from. In case you wanted to know they are: White, Wholewheat, Hearty Italian, Parmesan Oregano, and WholeGrain. The have also stopped the 'U gouge' and moved to the 'side-cut'. This is is changing just to fast for me.

I am tired today, last night my brother decided to call me at 1 in the morning to ask me a question. He bought a new graphite iMac and wanted to watch a DVD using a projector. He wasn't too sure on how to do it. At 1 in the morning I was sure either. The sucky thing was it took me a an hour to fall asleep in the first place and then another hour after he woke me up. I must look really tired today, I'll let you know if I get any 'boy you look tired today comments'.

Here's a little story:

Todd woke up this morning to the same black room that he did every morning. As his eyes adjusted he could see the green hue on the walls that his alarm clock generated. He blasted his arm out an hit the alarm. Thud. It shut up, it knew better than to bother todd at this hour in the morning. The rest of the morning was routine. Todd showered, ate and brushed until he deamed himself presentable to the office.



As todd walked down the street he saw the usual things, pan handlers and hurried executives who scurried in and out of the nameless faces on the street. Just when 10th street hit, todd looked up at the bridge like he normally did. It was covered with pidgeons as usual. Today their were 10, which was a pretty good showing. The light turned green and Todd started the trek across the street, about hald way through the intersection todd felt something wet on his face.



Looking down he saw nothing, no other rain drops. Then he noticed a rather large white spot on his shoulder. One of the pidgeons had BOMBED him. Todd looked straight ahead and a smile creeped across his face. Finally something not in the routine had happened to him, he had hope for today.

I am feeling better today, last night I was freaking about my report but now I feel that it will all fall into place. Only time will tell.

Just one more thing to add out addiction of Survivor, survivorBLOG

I don't know what it is. I seem to be bored and anxious all at the same time. It's really not that great of a feeling. I am so desperate that I am watching V.I.P. its just about the worst tna show ever. I guess that is the point of the show. My other problem is I have this report to write but it is just not clicking. I really hate forced reports. They never really turn out well. Tomorrow is another day, hopefully it will be better.

Why do people insist on talkting to me when I am in the bathroom taking a pee? Doesn't this fall into the category of urinal etiquetee? I really do not like it. For future reference -> You can only talk to me when I am washing my hands, not before that. Thank-you.

Looks like it is going to be a busy day. I changed my site for the last time in a while. Once I am in school, I won't have time for that kind of stuff.

So after two weeks Lianne decides to email me and leaver her number. I am thinking that this is just a little bit to late. This is my last week in TO before I move to Waterloo for school. What good does this do for me. I can't even start a relationship, or whatever I seem to have nowadays in less than a week. Too nad she didn't get back to me sooner.

Stupid cable and internet. I have to hang around for a day for cable to be installed and another day for @Home to be installed. I am not pleased with this arrangement at all.

Hmm, fun things for the day. I feel like I haven't really said too much that is interesting today. I am a little bored a work, with one week left, not many new tasks come my way. I will survive though.

Are you a waster or a hoarder. If you are a waster, you are the type of person who is too lazy to open the door for themselves and has to hit the wheelchair access button. You are really lazy. If you are a hoarder, you are the type of person who would not share your m&m's with someone even if they asked. You are just mean. Thank-you if you are a nice combination of both.

I called the school. I am so ready to kill someone. My advisor is on vacation until the 5th. That does me no good at all. My other problem is all the other classes that I could take instead are full. I am not liking this at all. I think I could end up taking 5 CS's at once. That could spell disaster.

Good Morning all, it's a really nice morning here in TO. I have exactly onwe week left of my job. I am starting to count down the days. Just to warn you, my day will make a turn for the worse after I call the school to straighten out my schedule. I know that this won't be an easy task. Wish me luck.

I think i am actually starting to draw a crowd to my site. It's kind of an honour that people come to your site just to see what you have to say for the day. Most of the time it is just silly little things. I guess that what people are looking for, a place to go that will put a smile on their faces. I will try to keep that in mind with my future blogs.

I think I have figured out what is wrong with my computer. It is having an identity crisis. It is surounded by flashly laptops so it feels over-weight. Maybe Jenny Craig could help. Maybe it feels threatened by their portabilty and their faster processors. Anyone know a good PC pyschologist? This would never happen to my Mac.

The webmistress at mayhaps has a burnt bum. hee hee!

Have I ever mentioned how stupid the University of Waterloo is. Firstly they didn't preregister me, now that I am registered it looks as though I am only getting 3 out of the 5 classes that I wanted. Now I am just going to be stuck in limbo trying to sort the whole think out. I am really not impressed at all. I am thinking that I need to start a 'Today I hate' page. This morning it was my stupid PC, not it is the stupid university.

Yeah! Someone actually likes my blog, check out the little review that Web Spinner gave me. This is making me way to excited. I need to calm down.

FYI, I think I am going to take the time between the end of work term and school term to come up with some new content. I even have an idea as to what I am going to do. I am going to take Song Lyrics and make a stroy/inrterpretaion out of them. I think that this will yield some quirly and hilarious results. I may even try to do one this weekend if you are all lucky.

It's 11 o'clock and all is well. To tell you thr truth I didn't really want to come into work today. I would have been much happier if I could have stayed on the patio all morning drinking coffee and people watching. People watching can be some much fun. You get to observe how people treat strangers. Who gives money to the pan hanlers and who ignores them. For some reason I gave money today. I don't normally, but today I did. I must be getting soft. I think it sucks to see someone who is your age living on the street. I am sure they must have some story, the question is could it have been avoided.

I have to admit that I am a little disappointed that Rich won the million dollars on Survivor last night. What I am even more disappointed in is that this made all the headlines and was the first thing mention in all of the news spots I have heard/seen. Surely there has to something more important to report to the world than the fact that someone won a million dollars.

I don't think today is going to be a good work day, Word has already crashed twice on me in the last 15 minutes. This can't be a good sign. I am punishing it by putting a sign on it calling it stupid. If it doesn't crash until lunch i will take the sign off. I hope this helps.

The world needs more dogs. On my way to work today I passed a man who was playing with his dog in a fountain. The dog was playing peek-a-boo by hiding behind a huge planter box. Not only did it put a smile on my face, it put a smile on the face of everyone else around me. If the dog and man played there all day, they would probably improve the moods of hundreds of people in the city. Hmm, maybe this should be one of those 'let's better the city projects'.

I want to go to a Survivor party. Someone invite me!

I just can't seem to shake this headache of mine. Maybe if I think happy thoughts.

Winning the lottery.

I really hate it when my mother opens my mail. For some reason she thinks that she is doing me a favour. How can she think she is doing me a favour, she is invading my privacy. You don't open other people's mail without there content.



So she opened my mail and read it and now she is all concerned over some contract that I signed. This would never have happened if she hadn't opened the mail. Serves her right I guess.



I feel better now that I have bitched. I hope everyone is having a good day!

I'm back from lunch and it was good. Some Pad Thai for me. We spent a large chunch talking about survivor. I am started to get revved up to watch it tonight. If all my friends were around I would even goes as far as throwing a party for it. I guess that does sound a little extreme though. I think that either Rudy or Kelly will win the money. I guess we'll have to wait and see who wins immunity tonight.

The coolest thing happened, my friend Terry won a trip to Mexico. It is 7 days all inclusive. How cool is that. I wish that I had won though. That would have been better.



I have been checking out places that could host my site for me. I think I have narrowed it down. With any luck I will be up in no time.

Useless Facts for the day

• An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain


• Camel's milk does not curdle


• Cats have more than 100 vocal sounds, dogs only have 10


• Cats' urine glows under a black light


• The giant squid has the largest eyes un the world


• Tigers have striped skin, not just striped fur


• When opossums are playing 'possum', they are not playting. They've actually passed out from sheer terror


• Murphy's oil soap is the chemical most commonly used to clean elephants

One last post before I go to bed. I am debating registering the domain name beautiful midgnight. I guess I should check if it is taken already or not. Oh Well, it will make for a nice project for tomorrow. I am tired and am going to veg for the rest of the night. First I have to solve my case of the muchies.

Dream of Californication. Does this have any similarities to fornication? Does anyone here pay attention to lyrics?

I feel like I am and IPP (internet protocol prediter). I keep looking at my stats and seeing if I can figure out anything about the people looking at my site by their IP address. Good news for you is that I can't. Bad news for me is I won't know who is looking at my site.

This is not a website - this is a splash of reality. That is what the author claims at least. I like the look of the site and it may some promising things. Tonight i plan on checking out the music videos. i still haven't seen the lastest Bloodhound gang video and a friend of mine keeps refering to some pacman part in it.

This flower is dead! (really funny)

I wish the real would just stop hassiling me.

I wish that I didn't have to work when I didn't want to.

I wish that all my friends were within a five minute walk at all times.

I wish that everybody would get a long.

I wish that money wasn't such a driving factor in life.

I really wanted McDonald's for luch today. I think I am going to have to satisfy that craving with dinner. Anyways, I went to Bedfords for lunch, it is a little deli with a strange little man working the counter. You talk to him and his seems so quiet and meager, then he turns his head a shouts the order to the kitchen. It's the funniest thing, I laugh every time a customer jumps because they weren't expecting him to shout. He reminds me of the Soup Nazi on Sienfield.

Should I start a lyric of the day page. You could go there every day to see a song lyric that could either inspire you for the rest of the day or maybe it will depress you. I am think that a lyric a day is not such a good idea anymore. I will just have to continue my quest for new content for the site. It was foolish of me to think that people would come here to just read about my life.

Dum Dee Dum. I am starting to get bored even though I have tons I could do. I think I have a problem. Somebody help me.

I added a new desktop picture to the gallery of Peggy's Cove. I think in the near future I will have to move this site to a new place because I am running low on space. The question is where do I go?

I was going to add links to 2 hilarious stories, one was about Fraggles and the other Willy Wonka. When I went to go get the links today they were gone. Sorry guys, you will just have to wait until I can find them again. They were really funny though.

Make your own bigbrother story, Terry this is for you. In my case the ending was hilarious.

I have an annoucement. I have struck up one of those friend's deals where you marry someone at a specified age. If I am unmarried at the age of 35 I will marry my friend (currently would like her name with held). I am not sure if this is real or a joke yet. It seems pretty funny to me though.

mayhaps.com has posted some new stories in the last few days, they are Tag, You're it (a new personal fav) and Fudge, you should check them out.

I think I am having an invisible day today. I am not directly interacting with people other than email, no one at work is looking to talk to me and i am not looking to talk to anyone at work. I haven't decided if I like invisibe days yet though.

Is it wrong to have 2 friends and refer to them as Sarah Positive and Sarah Negative?

I like to invent new words, don't you. It always so much fun spell checker checks my emails. It never likes any of the new words that I create.

Even though I slept at least 11 hours last nigh. I am still tired.

So when we get up to the Cottage we find out none other than the enchanting (gorgeous and many other adjectives) Chantal Kreviazuk is playing at the Bala Kee on August the 19th. Needless to say we went and she was amazing as usual. She didn't even complain about anything. We had pretty good seats too, because I ran into friend from school who had extra seats down by the stage. Woo hoo!

Here is what I learned this weekend:

• You can't make a right hand turn while travelling 80 clicks.


• I am not too old to sleep in bunk beds, however I am too tall.


• Kayaking is fun


• Cold weather at a cottage is not as fun as warm weather at the cottage


• I can swim in sub-zero water


• I want a dog but not the kind you can tell is dumb by looking in its eyes


• Harry Potter books aren't so bad. They move much quicker than other books I have read.


• My Powerbook makes an excellent source of entertainment


• My brother is destined to be like my Uncle and won't realize this until it is too late. (this is not a good thing)


• Fuck really means Fornication Under Command of the King


• Someday I want to drive a really fast boat

I lied. I didn't let everyone know how it was when I got back on Sunday. Truth be told. I fell asleep on the car ride and by the time I got home I had enough trouble opening my eyes let alone my PowerBook.

I am off for dinner with my family. It should be pretty good, it is free food right. Don't expect and updates soon. I am going up to the Muskokas for the weekend. I'll let everyone know how it was when I get back on Sunday night.



Have a good weekend.

I wish I could shout out 'It's my birthday, pay attention to me'. Only one co-worker wished me happy birthday.

In the email that I sent Lianne last week I said that if she was intereted in going out some time she should call me. It has been a week, I don't think she is going to call. Oh Well. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

All that work to fix up my site. I made sure all the tags where correct and it looks great in IE. It looks like a pile of shit in Netscape. Why can't they just get along?

According to my friend, your age tells you what you should be doing that year or how you should feel. When I was 21 I was sexy. Now that I am 22, I am in the age of experiece. I am suppose to try new things and when I am older I can look back and say that I really experienced life when I was 22.

1 Martini Lucy

1 1/3 pitchers of Keith's

A day full of the blahs

Last night I went out with my brother. Here is what I learned.

• Hey Lucy is a cool bar that has Martini Wednesdays


• Vodka, Melon Liquor, Amaretto and cranberry juice go well together


• My brother really like Chai Tea. He tries to recruit people to drink it


• He is a girl when it comes to dressing. For example, last night he tried on 5 different shirts and then settled on the one he had been wearing in thr first place


• Now that he lives in San Francisco he seems to have mellowed out. He having a lot of fun


• Someday my brother will be a Sugar Daddy. The two nights we went out he paid for everything for me and bought a few others drinks. I think he has Sugar Daddy potential.

Happy Birthday to me! 22 years ago I was born at 1:53am in a small rural town.

I tweaked the look of the site just a little bit more. Hope you like it.



It still looks like shit in Netscape though.

It finally happened. Cowpland stepped down.

Today was off to a good start. It only took me 5 minutes to get out of bed and the weather is really nice today. My only compliant so far for the day is inconsiderate subway passengers. I missed a train today because some woman decided that she would stand still on the escalator instead of moving to the side to let other passengers make the train in time. It only cost me 5 or 10 minutes, but I am considerate enough to move. Why can't others be considerate?

Twice a month I get my paycheck. Everytime I look at it and think the same thing. Why don't i have any money? I am serious. I am pretty sure that I make more money than I spend, but sure enough at the end of the school term (every four months i alternate between work and university) i have no money. It's because of the rising cost of living and rising tuition right?



I hate that we always have to think about cost in monetary terms. Wouldn't it be great if you could have anything that you wanted. I guess that only happens when you are rich.



Damn Vikings! he he he.

Hi All. As you guessed I went out last night so I didn't add anything new and exciting for you to read. Here are some of my recent thoughts and discoveries

• If I say "sorry i don't have any change", why do ask me again the next three times I pass you.


• If you flirt with the hostess you get a better table and are seated faster


• If you compain about how long your food is taking and the waitress hears you (it's not what you meant to happen) you get free dessert.


• I like beer and patios


• My room gets really hot at night


• The leather couch in my apartment is actually a pull-out bed


• Keanu Reeves can only act when he has no lines. Talking is his weak point


• Strippers as cheerleaders is funny!

I think I may have a problem. I have become obsessed with watching the stats on my site. They aren't even high at all. I think only a handful of people come to my site any ways. It would be nice if I could track exactly who is coming to my site. That will have to be a project for some one else though.

Yeah!



I get to take Friday off. I am going to the Muskokas for a nice relaxing long weekend. This should be fun. There is nothing better than two 4 day work weeks in a row. This is a definite plus.

Well, the weekend is over and I haven't posted anything new for my loyal reader. As things pop into my mind today I'll add them.



Is Operation Goofball wrong? The wedding I went to on Saturday was nice. Nice weather and lots of family and friends. The reception was good too. Good food and wine with dinner. However, it was decided that the dance portion would be a dry event. This is where operation goofball comes into play. (Note * I had no part in this) A few people decided that a dry wedding is no fun and smuggled in flasks of alcohol and hid them behind the dj booth.


You don't even want to know who was involved in the whole ploy.

Yet another interesting email.



Here's a tip: if you're looking for something exciting to do, take a sticky note or some kind of paper, fold it in half and run it between the keys in your keyboard. I'm always amazed at how much dust collects. And I feel like I'm being minorly productive, cleaning out my keyboard and all.

I had a request to fix the spelling mistakes in the email, so I did.

The conclusion of the story.



I took the chicken way out - hiding the mentos from my chocolate bar, stealing away for a little fun when it wasn't looking. And of course I didn't tell the mentos about the chocolate. They were a bit fruity, who knows how they would have reacted! I think overall it was better to just keep the peace.



But the guilt was just tearing me apart. The chocolate bar looked at me with it's crispy cookie middle. how could I resist that chocolately coating!



So, after finishing off things with the mentos, I also ended it with the chocolate bar.



I hope they have forgiven me.

An email I recieved today. I thought I would share the joy



If I just bought mentos, is that cheating on my chocolate bar? 'cuz really, it's a 3:00 chocolate bar, and it ain't nowhere near 3:00. Should it be jealous? Would it help if I introduced the two, let them become friends, before I tell my chocolate bar about the real relationship between me and my mentos? Am I a bad person for wanting them both? I love them in different ways. How can they ask me to choose! I don't know if I can give either up. But if I don't, will I lose them both?



tell me. I need to know. I need answers

I hate the stupid subway. This morning on my way to work the train I am on goes out of service. They make us get out and go on the next one.



Did you notice latley I have been calling a lot of things stupid. Maybe I am stupid.

Done.



I emailed Lianne, I guess we'll have to wait and see if she replies.

I found a free utiltiy that tracks the hits etc on a web-site. Now I can finally see if anyone is looking at my site. The only problem is blogger won't let me update my template right now. I'll just have to try later.

Today was the birthday of the CEO at work. They threw a party with cake and beer where over a hundred people sucked up to the CEO. I decided not to go, I doubt they will throw a party like that for me. Besides I don't like the CEO too much any ways.

Stupid University!




I did everything right. I pre-registered on time and the stupid university screwed up and I didn't get pre-registered. So I call to confirm and sure enough I am right. So I go ahead and tell them what courses I want. Fine. The one course I want is already full. I might have to go on a waiting list for it. It's not fair. I shouldn't have to wait!



Stupid University!

Well, what do you want me to say? Are you waiting? Do you think it will be good? Too many expectations. I should just leave you out in the cold. Should I be nice?




Yes.




Sushi, Hmmm. Yes I had sushi for dinner tonight. I kind of did at least. I consumed 6 cucumber rolls and a mushroom dish. I love the clean burn of wasabi. It's quick and cleansing. Tonight was a little weird. I kept bumping into people on Queen St. I did it four times. First it was Teddy (he joined us for sushi). Second were some UW students. Third were some co-workers, and lastly Leanne. I am not sure what do about Leanne. We were emailing a bit; we haven't talked in over a year.Should I start emailing her again? It could be fun, another person to party with in toronto. What do I have to lose anyways?

I have a new blog that I have been reading a lot lately. If you want to check it, here's a link. The site is called thinkDink.

I went out to the movies tonight. I know that I am only 21 but, back in the day cheap night used to be 2 bucks. Now it is seven. I saw Coyote Ugly, it was pretty good, a little more of a chick flick than I was expecting. The truth is I would see again because of the bar scenes. There just is someting about 5 beautful women who are scantily clad, dance in bar tops and pour cold water on each other. My thought are affirmative for other to see the movie. I am sure some people will disagree with me.

Labels really bite my ass. There is nothing that I hate worse than being reffered to as "this is Brad, the co-op student (intern if you are American)". It's not that I am not a co-op student I just don't think is represents me or anyone else very well. For starters I do the same work as the rest of the staff and believe it or not I have seniority over half the people in the department (it's only four people though). When I am referred to as a coop student this is what I am really hearing, "thisi is brad, he is a lowly co-op. You can get him to do the shit jobs and you treat him like shit. He doesn't count he is only here for 4 months at time. He isn't worth our effort to properly train, what's the point". I really really hate the attitdes that some people have. This is what I would like to hear "this is brad, we are trying to train him to work at Janna for a really long time. He is one bitchin product marketing member, we are really going to miss him in four months". What I really want is some loyalty, is that too much to ask?

The long weekend is over and I have survived three days at home. It went by pretty quickly since I slept and watched t.v. for most of the time. Saturday totally rocked for several reasons. First I did nothing, that means i didn't change out of the clothes I slept in and I didn't shower at all. The second wicked thing is that the 'click' noise in my knee went aways. It is so nice not to be defective.




On the drive back into toronto I heard the thong song again. Can someone please tell me what 'dumps like a truck' are? E-mail your responses and if I get enough and they are funny I will post them for all to see.
