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.

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.

On my gosh. I can get free tickets to see LFO and Bewitched from work! (I said in a super-sarcastic tone)




I know, I didn't post anything yesturday. I could have, but it would have said nothing. I spent the night watching movies.




Today my sister is flying to San Francisco to visit my brother for a week. It amuses me to think of her reaction to flying. Let me set the stage. Here we have a conservative person who has never flown before, doesn't drive at night and does not like roller-coasters. I can picture her in her chair sweaty and nervous. If I was there she would be grasping my arm, but I am not so she is grasping the arm of the chair. She will get to discover a few unique things about flying: the chaotic airport, airline food, ears popping, and the bathroom (it is a 5 hour flight, she'll probably have to go at least twice).




This is going to be a long long weekend. I have no plans. All my friends are gone and off doing something exciting. That's okay, I get into some trouble.

I just had the best kind of dinner. A free one. We went to the revolving restaurant in the CN tower, and my friend's Mom treated us. It was pretty good and you can't beat the view, very expensive though.




I am going to watch survivor now. (I taped it)

Having too many levels of authorization really sucks. The current project I am working on is going to fall behind 2 weeks because some aspects need many authorizations. This sucks. All it does is make more formality and work than the project requires in the first place. I am glad there is less than a month until school starts.

Check out the words of the day at Mayhaps. This could prove to be a daily diversion.

I seem to be sparking some html challenges with my new page. My friend is going to make "a site that will kick my html-butt". Frankly, I can't wait. It will probably be the funniest thing that I have seen in a while.




The 2 responses I have about the blog title, point to Beatiful Midnight. If you have an opinion send it to me.



Lastly, the sexual fantasies thing always happen at work with people I don't know. The first incident was a couple years back with the Discloser. Guess how he got his nicname.

Do I have a message on my forehead that says "Tell me about your perverse sexual fantasies. I really do want to know!"?

I can't believe I am doing this. It has come to my attention that the map links do not work on netscape. I have decided not to support netscape. Sorry guys, my bio, album and notables will be a mystery to you.




I can't believe that I like IE. I am a mac enthusiest. Microsoft is the enemy!
