Hey everyone.
Can you believe 2004 is over, in less than a couple of short hours? Shiiiiiitttt... yeah. I've been thinking about it long and hard, and I've realized, this year as a whole is probably going to be one that I'll remember for a long time. I've done so much, experienced so many new things, felt the highs and lows of life, and to tie it all together, met someone special.
Yeah, you read that right. I'm not one to be so flashy and public about who I'm with, but I might as well let it out, if you didn't already know. I haven't been single since like... late October, to the start of November. Her name's Marie, and I'm head over heels for her. Really.
Thinking about the year, from January to December, I've compiled a list of things that I felt were worth mentioning. So yeah, I stole Daniel's idea. But you know, it's like a compliment, cause it's an idea worth repeating.
So, the year big moments as I remember it, in as close to the right order as I can remember it.
-Hearing Yashu drunk and yelling at the neighbor's dog, when I spent New Year's Dave at home. Then switching the line to talk to Rian, who was the exact opposite, quiet and controlled. But still a lot of fun to talk to.
-Going to Scarborough and Markham for a couple of days, only to feel homesick. But not really. Because I had my guitar. Ohhh yeah.
-The ever-popular, ever mysterious Black Book.
-My public hatred of Computer class. Being Asian doesn't mean I know all about computers!
-Listening to Radiohead religiously. But not really religiously.
-Losing the Robotics competition, and feeling pretty shitty about it. But hey! I got to yell at people! Oh, and of course, "Jonathan, will you reach into my pants?"
-Spending March Break at home, gaming excessively. Oh, and skating.
-The Public Speaking speech I did.
-The one night where I slept for 4 hours.
-The Play Rehearsals, April '04, when I met Marie.
-The Play. "WHERE'S PETEEE!?"
-Gmail!
-The formation of KEY'D.
-Fantasia Film Festival, and all the people I went with.
-Halo at James'
-Finally learning Street Spirit
-Listening to Adrian talk for hours at EB. Those days were so long... but managed to be kinda fun.
-My niece's baptism.
-Seeing Garden State twice in theatres.
-Grade 10.
-Telling Marie I liked her, lots.
-Going to the Matthew Good Concert with Marie.
-Going to Battlenet and G-Zone with KEY'D, blowing each other up in BF1942.
-Seeing Shaun of the Dead.
-PRE-PROMMMMM!!!! Yeaaaaah that was an awesome night.
-When my dad said he'd get me an electric guitar as a late X-Mas present.
-That day I realized just how much I value my friends. Even though we can all be assholes to each other sometimes, the friendship we all have still manages to stay strong. I've been in conflicts with all of my friends at least once, and every time, we were all able to forgive each other and move on. That's fucking awesome stuff right there.
-Writing this out. My hands hurt.
That's all I can think of. Feel free to add.
Here's to a great year. 2004, it's been fun.
I wish you all the best in 2005!
Hugs and kisses!

"Plus the sexaholic recovery books they sell here, it's every way you always wanted to get laid but didn't know how. Of course, all this is to help you realize you're a sex junkie. It's delivered in a kind of "if you do any of the following things, you may be an alcoholic" checklist. Their helpful hints include:
Do you cut the lining out of your bathing suit so your genitals show through?
Do you leave your fly or blouse open and pretend to hold conversations in glass telephone booths, standing so your clothes gap open with no underwear inside?
Do you jog without a bra or athletic supporter in order to attract sexual partners?
My answer to all the above is: I do now."

I have the Star Wars DVDs. That's awesome. BTW, because I don't really intend to blog as much, you'll find the majority of my posts at Rage.

i've been sleeping like shit for two weeks now. i've tried everything just to get to sleep before midnight, and i'm just this close ( like that) to using some cold medication to get me sleeping. coupled with the fact that i have have HAVE to be up at at least 6:30 to make it to school on time, it all makes for some great fun and games. real fun. real. fun.
on a VERY positive note though, I now have about 15 asian dvds to watch. i've already finished watching 2, Fong Sai Yuk (1993 jet li!), and Infernal Affairs (with the ever so cool tony leung). it's absolutely awesome. though it really sucks whenever the movies are remade and they suck.

"Oh man what the fuck am I doing up at 12:50 in the morning?" you ask.
I am currently:
- slurring my speech
- grinning because I just blew up the Death Star... again.
- shivering because I'm sitting next to an air con which will probably end up kicking me into some sick sick... sickness.
- head asplode.
I really should consider sleeping earlier, but I've grown accustom to being up at this time.

So I saw Garden State today.
Wow.
Before I start, here's the required spoiler warning:
**POTENTIAL SPOILERS** Though there aren't really anything that are spoilers anyways.
And here's a short summary from Cinema Montreal.
When Andrew Largeman (Zach Braff) returns to his hometown for his mother's funeral, he reconnects with old friends and - since he's gone off his depression medication - himself. A chance meeting with Sam (Natalie Portman), who also suffering from various maladies, opens his world to the possibility of rekindling emotional attachments, confronting his psychologist father, and perhaps beginning a new life.
I had been waiting for this movie for about 2 1/2 weeks now. I first gained interest in it after seeing a clip during an interview with Natalie Portman on Conan. The clip was during one of the early scenes where Andrew meets Sam, just out of the blue. There was a brief exchange between the two, and I couldn't help but notice the sort of chemistry between them, not to mention the smart dialogue between the two. That was when I started looking up info on the movie.
Reviews for it across the board, nearly all positive. I was hyped. I was stoked.
Today came, and I saw the movie, and Garden State definitely lived up to the hype.
Zach Braff's directorial debut is an amazingly emotional comedy. Visually alone, the movie looks great. Depending on the moment, the colour scheme ranged anywhere from drab and monotone during the various scenes showing Andrew's negative state of mind, to soft and lush during the quiet, sentimental moments between him and his friends. The lighting definitely set the mood, dark and light, shadows, all used with creativity and imagination.
Script-wise, the story and the dialogue is very smartly written, and far from sappy and cheesy. They talk... like we talk. It doesn't feel forced, which is a definite plus for a movie like this. Not to mention the actual performances between the actors. Like I mentioned earlier, there is definite chemistry between them, not only Portman and Braff, but the entire cast. Like a well played game of Tetris, it all fits.
Lastly, the soundtrack. I wasn't sure what to expect, given the sort of music in movies like this. But once again, it was a surprise for me. Acoustic and mellow rock take the majority here when it comes to the music, and it's all very fitting. Listen to the lyrics every once in a while, and you'll understand exactly why I'm saying this.
As a whole, the movie is a funny, sometimes sad, and overall very emotional (while not melodramatic) ride that'll leave you with a lump in your throat. I laughed out loud more than once, I damn near cried, and I absolutely will watch this movie again.
Summary:
5/5, an amazing directorial debut from Zach Braff, who knows just what to say to get a reaction out of you. Go see it!

Tucker: "Let me get this straight, you're telling me that the guy that showed up here, scared the living shit out of us, shot at caboose, and beat the hell out of the Reds wasn't a guy at all? That he was a chick, and on top of that, she was your ex-girlfriend?"
Church: "In a nutshell, yes, that's an excellent summary."
Caboose: "I should've known. She didn't like me. Girls never like me."
Tucker: "Caboose, I don't think anybody likes you."
Caboose: "I like me."

Stolen from board 402:
I chewed up the piece of waffle in my mouth which was drenched in syrup and swallowed. It went down, down into my belly. As I readied my fork in front of my mouth for another scrumptious bite, there was a knock on the door. I got up from my chair to see who it was.
It was my girlfriend! Her shoulder-length black hair shimmered in the early morning light. Her tight t-shirt barely contained her C-cup breasticles. The tight jeans she was wearing didn’t leave much to the imagination.
“Hey sis,” I said as I invited her in. Then out of nowhere…
Her head exploded! Her brains splattered across my shirt and face. Blood was everywhere. Grey matter soaked into my shirt.
“WTF!?!!?” I exclaimed.
A man in all black emerged from a nearby bush. He looked sort of like…
It was a ninja! “Y helo thar” he said.
“You just killed my sister and lover! How could you!?”
“She was not your girlfriend at all… She was a pirate.”
“WHAT!?! How could that be?!”
“Why, it’s quite obvious.” He said “Notice her peg-leg and eyepatch.”
“Oh. Oh yeah. Good call.”
And then they emerged. Pirates. From all directions. Bushes, trees, off of my roof. EVERYWHERE! Their peg-legs clicking on the ground and their cutlasses raised.
“Argh, mateys, we’re going to slice ye throats.”
“Yeah, whateva” said the Ninja. He struck the five closest pirates with his katana. He picked off two of the pirates on the roof with a couple of ninja stars. “Ninja brethren! It is time!” he shouted.
Ninjas came from everywhere. They had even more hiding spaces than the pirates. It was time…
A massive battle erupted on my front lawn. Pirates sliced off ninjas’ arms with their mighty cutlasses and stabbed them in the eyes with their hooks. Ninjas flipped around and kept being totally sweet. Dead bodies littered the ground. Finally, the battle was done. Almost…
The final pirate and the final ninja faced eachother.
“Arrr” said the pirate.
“Y helo thar” said the ninja.
Then… as if sent from the Lord above…
CHUCK NORRIS!!!!
Chuck Norris lept from the sky and took down their candy asses.
He used his 1337 Texas ranger karate to kick off the pirate’s head. “OWNED!!” screamed Chuck Norris.
Chuck pulled out his sawed-off shotgun and blasted a whole through the ninja’s chest. “SHOTGUN’D!!!” shouted Chuck Norris.
“Now then… how bout some waffles?” he said.
And then we all had a good laugh.
THE END

This post is for Rian, cause I know she reads this. Go Rian!
I was watching the Teen Jeopardy thing today, and wow, some of those contestants are pretty hot. Smart too. It's a winning combination.
Garden State is coming to Montreal at the AMC on the 20th. It's that new movie with Zack Braff (from Scrubs) and Natalie Portman (from Leon: The Professional). It's a bit of a romantic/dramatic comedy, but not so much that it's a chick flick. I might go see it, I need a lesser known movie to top off the summer.

Today was really awful.
I feel unusual because my antidepressants are making me hairy.
Last night I had to shave my entire body. Apparently, the lice that I caught from Amanda's friend are really hard to get rid of. I look quite strange with no hair and eyebrows. I'd post pictures, but my webcam is broken.
I am updating this journal for the first time in ages, because I can't type with hairy fingers.
That's enough for now. But I'll leave you with this thought once again - sharing your life with strangers on the internet is the cheapest form of therapy available. Leave a comment and tell me I'm beautiful.

Today was really tiring.
I got out of bed really late because my alarm clock has broken and I cannot afford a new one at the moment.
I feel so out of it. With all that sleep... I think I'm losing my mind!
Last night I had to masturbate twenty times. I'm so horny. Click here to see my website.
I want to tell the world to get fucked.
I am updating this journal for the first time in ages, because I've been in prison.
I want to say thanks to the world for absolutely fucking nothing! You all suck. I feel so alone, no one ever reads this journal, or even comments to let me know that I'm not suffering alone. It's cold here, and I want to die, but I cannot figure out how many of you to take with me when I go.
CRAAAAAAAWWWWLLLLIINNGGG INN MMMYYYY SKKIIIINNNNNN!

I still don't like this new blogger layout thing. Whenever I post HTML coding inside this post without using those button things, it all screws up and I have to fix it.
Anyways, I was up till 4:30 AM last night watching Bringing Out The Dead, this relatively unknown Scorcese/Nic Cage flick. It was worth it, but I feel seriously tired now. Don't even get me started on the logic behind staying up to see it. I've heard enough of that already.
I have to go get more tickets to Fantasia, there's some other movies I have to see, namely cheesy Asian Cinema which I can't get enough of. And Red Vs. Blue.

Where the hell did all this new stuff come from? I don't post on Blogger for 1 week and then the entire posting layout changes!?
What the fuck?
Anyways, I'm currently posting at a better place than this, Rage. Go visit, the people there are worth double the time you waste here. I'm not saying it's a waste of time there though, don't take that the wrong way.
I haven't really bothered posting on here because of several things.

I haven't really bothered posting on here because of several things.
- No time. I've been busy.
- No willpower. I don't really want to.
- Well, it's just not fun anymore. I like posting at Rage, because I know for a fact that at least 2 people are reading what I write. Here... it feels pretty barren sometimes. The counters and numbers down there really don't mean anything. Most of the hits here come from random Google searches for "LUE" and "402" and my name. It's strange. But it's all true.
That's pretty much it. I hope this new Blogger design doesn't fuck up my ancient layout. This layout came straight from 2 years ago, back when Blogger had user submitted layout designed. I found this one and used it because it was so simple, yet conveniently designed. I haven't changed it because I never really wanted to. I made too many edits to let it go, and I just don't like the new designs they have, as well as the custom ones (not that I don't think they're working hard or whatever... they just don't "do it for me").
That ends that rant. Time to get some sleep.

"You’ll witness 30-second versions of The Shining and The Exorcist re-enacted by bunnies, an angry and violent penis and some cuddly animals whose daily adventures always end up in some of the most horrible death scenes captured on screen!"
That is why I enjoy going to Fantasia every year. Always something worth seeing.

And now a public service announcement from the Digital Void:
Rage is a group blog that I've been a part of for quite a long time. I've met a lot of great people there, and learn a lot from them. Being a part of Rage is a great and fulfilling experience, and I think that you should seriously consider being a part of it. So don't be afraid! Join our ranks and have fun! And tell them Eric sent you. ;)
This has been a public service announcement from the Digital Void.
I tried, Sruti. I tried.

I need to get a buspass for this month. Fuck, how could I forget?
July is here, and with that, so is the Fantasia Film Festival. I've been going for a few years now, and (almost) every year, there's been at least one film that's really really impressed me, and really stood out. One year, it was the DTS remastered version of Akira, and the Escaflowne movie. The next year had a showing of Blood: The Last Vampire, which, for a really short movie, was really good. And along the way, later on, I saw the Cowboy Bebop movie the year they relocated to Concordia's auditorium. It was awesome seeing it on the big screen. This year, I'm hoping to see a bunch of campy monster movies, and definitely the screening of Red Vs. Blue: Blood Gulch Chronicles. It's showing at Fantasia this year, and it's a full length movie. I'm definitely surprised by that.
So... anyone interested in going to something with me?
I'm really close to becoming a part of Canada's workforce. I'm close to becoming a stock boy a local Chinese grocery store. Only half excited. I'm a little worried that, because of my youth and fairly average build, they'll think I'm strong enough to lift impossible things like a giant lead weight or a metal anvil to stop coyotes. Seriously though, I'm only doing it so I can help pay for the school trip next year, as well as being able to have cash on the side when I need it. I hope I don't regret it.
I have a baptism to attend tomorrow. It's for my niece. I'll be out all day. I'm honestly considering bringing my GBA to pass the time. But I'm her uncle. So I won't. Oh the morality of it all!
EDIT: New pics of me!

Straight from CNN:
Iraq has turned into a mess that only one person can handle: John Rambo. "We have contacted him and he is more than willing to go into Iraq," according to officials. Vietnam Veteran John Rambo was trained to do one thing: kill. John Rambo has informed that he will attempt to convince his good friends The Terminator and RoboCop to aid him in this. Universal Studios has already signed a contract for the movie version which will be released in 2006. After hearing this news The Predator left the studio for AVP and is currently hunting Osama bin Laden.
Stolen from LUE. 402 forever!

Err: I am Err.
Inignot: We are Mooninites from the inner core of the moon.
Err: You said it right.
Inignot: Our race is hundred of years beyond yours.
Err: Man, you hear what he's saying?
Inignot: Some would say that the Earth is our moon.
Err: We're the moon.
Inignot: But that would belittle the name of our moon, which is: The Moon.
Err: Point is: we're at the center, not you.
Carl: No, the real point is: I don't give a damn.

I once read about this soldier who changed his name to Optimus Prime. I'd think that was awesome, except that:
-He's not a semi.
-He doesn't have other friends who are all giant car-robots.
-He doesn't have lasers.
I really think it all had to do with him wanting to share the name of his childhood hero or something.
Has anyone else beaten the original Ninja Gaiden? I can't seem to right now, not without having to continue a lot. I remember that game being so frustrating, I think I threw down my controller *really* hard once. I've been up late playing old NES games, trying to see if, in the past 10 years, I'd have the skills and patience to finish one of those games. So far, I've gone through Gyruss and got really far in Galaga. Galaga was a pain in the ass though, once you start getting really far in, those alien things get really smart. I also played through Space Invaders. I was able to get through maybe 9 waves before screwing up.
Enough about that, I'm tired of typing.

It's over! Got my report card today, and entered the first stages of carpal tunnel syndrome by playing -- and finishing -- Gyruss. That game is so awesome.
Anyways, I didn't fail any of my subjects, and I'm in Math 436. I'm gonna go and try to finish Ninja Gaiden. It's been so long, I owe it to myself to do it.

Hey friends,
I want to take this opportunity to announce a movie theatre that charges you 1$ for movies!!!!!!!!!
Believe or not, but it's true...I actually went and payed only 1$!!!
It just opened and they need the help of all of us to spread the word and help keep their business open. THINK PEOPLE!! 1$!!! That's like cheaper than Vanier's movies!! haha.
It's near NAMUR metro for those who b/m/w (bus/metro/walk) or if you drive, it's on Decarie Street inside the Decarie Square. Decarie Square is a complexe behind a pizza hut on Decarie. The complexe also contains a big WINNERS sign on the outside, you can hardly miss it. LOL.
The address is 6900 Decarie (inside the decarie square)
Remember....1$ movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is the website for the showings.

I took a few steps out of the school... and then it kinda hit me.
A whole year, it's over. All gone, said and done. Wow. I never really thought I'd make it this far, so quickly too. The whole year sorta flew by, and I feel happy that I took advantage of the opportunities and advantages I had, because if I didn't the chance would probably not come... what the fuck am I talking about?
Anyways, while I think it's great that the year's over, I can't help but feeling a little empty inside. I can't help it, because I know, that with the year ending, and the summer vacation on the horizon, I'll be losing one thing.
Friends. And no, not the sitcom.
See, I live an ungodly distance away from the people I hold close. Anywhere from 5+ metro stops, to 5+ rest stops, I'm a great distance away from a lot of my best friends.
Oh, sure, it's me being all melodramatic and drama queening now... but it's true, really. I came to school, much less because I wanted to do work, but really because I wanted to see my friends. It was really the only place where I could see them all at once. It's so convenient!
Anyways... I'm gonna miss the feeling of waking up with a purpose. Waking up early to get things ready, waking up to go to school and do things crazier than the day before... it's a feeling I liked. Not in a masochistic way, but like... it's a feeling I got accustomed to. I got used to it, and it became a filthy habit that I enjoyed. Maybe that's why I want a job. Something to fill that space.
I shouldn't be listening to Radiohead.
No gimicky recap of year events, no list of crushes, no list of liked people... Not this time. I don't feel like being so sharing now. Partly because the list isn't really worth it, it's not that long, and I'm not willing to say.
This is for any of my friends reading this:
Evil Dead: The Musical is coming to Montreal all of next July. And I wanted to know if anyone wanted to go see it with me. Trust me, it'd kick ass. A lot of ass. I mean it.
And secondly, I'm itching to see Kill Bill: Vol. 2 sometime before it's out on DVD. I'm going alone if no one speaks up, but please, don't let me suffer that fate.
Enough attention whoring.
If you see me on report card pickup day, sign my yearbook please!
Holy shit. School's out.

Let sleeping dogs lie. I say, NO! And you know what sleeping dogs I'm referring to, don't you? No? Well, let me refresh your memory. Russains! That's right, Russians, ruskies, communists, COMM-U-NISTS! Oh now you remember? Well, do you also remember how a few years ago all we ever talked about was how the Russians were gonna take over the world, and how every household would be run by communisis and their filthy communism.
Oh yeah, we feared the Russians back in them days, and for good reason too, but now all I ever hear is, "Poor little Russia, they've got no money!", "Poor little Russia, they've gone broke!" Poor little Russia THIS, and poor little Russia THAT! Don't you get it? Am I the only one who gets it? It's a trick. Communism never dies, communism is a cancer, a cancer sleeping, awaiting the moment to devour our freedom, to devour democracy.
Oh, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking this guy's just some right wing paranoid reactionary who had a horrible upbringing and whose father beat him every day with a Bible well maybe that's true but it never did me any harm! All I'm saying is, a few years ago, people used to listen to me. I fit in. Well listen to me now. The Russians, they're gonna try to take over the world again, don't you forget that for one second friend or else go find yourself lining up for toilet paper in some godless world!
There's one more thing I'd like to say. Killer bees! Forgot about them, didn't ya? Well that's just what they want us to do! That's right, the Russian communists, the killer bees, they're like this! (fingers crossed) So when people say to me let sleeping dogs lie, I say to them, friend, sleeping dogs...they eventually wake up...and chew out the throat of democracy! Don't you think I don't know what you're up to, Russia. Don't think that I'm unaware of the fact that Kevin McDonald or should I say, Ivan Chovsky, is one of you! (K [muffled under gag]: He's crazy!) Crazy like a fanatic fox I mean! Down reds! One man one vote!

Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey:
One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.

I began a job search today. I started off by looking at places that interested me first. Unfortunately, only a few stores in the area weren't clothing stores, one of which was EB Games. I got an application form from them, and went home, partly because it was 4:30, and I was tired after walking around Jean Talon with Alex and Howard. I saw them at the nearby music store, and stuck with them for a while.
Which reminds me, updated my links.
Anyways, we ate all the fruit/vegetable/other food samples we could find, and went on our way.
Howard didn't steal a tomato. ;)
We got on the metro, I left a few stops early to check out the local employment, and then went home.
yeah.
Tomorrow I'm continuing my job search. I'm saving a few stores as my last resorts over the summer.
Oh.
And I'm sorry, Shannon and Melissa.
Peace out.

God-Fucking-Dammit. I'm going to be up till fucking 2 in the morning again, because a certain someone didn't get off the computer when I fucking asked nicely. I'm sorry but I didn't recently hear that playing fucking Zuma was more important than me writing my GOD DAMN 20 MINUTE DEBATE! I'm going to fucking lose it, I swear. I have a kettle of water on the boil, and I'm making some french vanilla coffee to keep me up for the next while. I want to have this done tonight, and if it wasn't for a CERTAIN NAMELESS SOMEONE, i'd probably be done.
i want to break something right now, something large and preferably of glass or fragile wood. I'm gonna get my cd player and blast something to make myself feel better.

It's 11:04 PM, and I don't really have much to do. So here's my current Winamp Playlist.
Nada Surf - Popular
Sparklehorse w/Thom Yorke - Wish You Were Here
Violent Femmes - Add It Up
PJ Harvey - Down by the Water
UNKLE (with Radiohead) - Rabbit in Your Headlights
Chris Isaak - Wicked Game
The Cardigans - Lovefool
UNKLE - Bloodstain
Garbage - Only Happy When It Rains
UNKLE - Chaos
PJ Harvey w/Thom Yorke - This Mess We're In
Nada Surf - Inside of love
Radiohead - Talk Show Host
Cardigans - My Favourite Game
Sloan - The Other Man
Very alternative. The list is short right now, but I don't intend to listen to it completely. A lot of those songs are slower paced/mellow/not too loud too, and I intend to make another CD with this list. Any suggestions?
As for my day, it was great. I got out of the house and spent my time with Alex looking at stuff. She and I spent our time looking at candy, jewelery, clothes, and the kajillion dogs up and down the street, as well as all the fun and interesting people of the area. When I got home, I... FURIOUSLY MASTURBATED! Joking! Made you look! :p
...don't remember what I did. I think I slept or something, because I'm not tired now. And I practiced playing my guitar, while studying presentations and thinking about the last few days of school.
Damn that school.
What a year it's been! I've seen at least 6 relationships build up and then fall to shit, I've liked many many people but never acted on those feelings (stupid me), and I've lost a lot of sleep. I met so many new people, yet I know all their names, and to top it off, for my part in the play, I jumped off stage screaming.
PEEEEEEEEETEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
What a year.

I'm at school again.
I've always kind of wished for a hot neighbor, if not just someone my age as a neighbor. Like, someone I can talk to and stuff. I feel pretty lonely around my area...
I'm not Eric, I am Alex. Well...I am now, except sometimes I'm not. Sometimes I am kinky the frogg. Yes. None of this is relevant; at all. Why are you all here? I can't spell. Chances are, you all know me. If you don't, Salutations. come visit me. I love you all. I've never even met you. Except for the ones I have. Like Daniel, and Eric, and Sruti, if she visits. Smiegel or Golum...who would win in the Ultimate Bitch-Fight Cage Battle? I'll tell you. Trogdor. He'd burninate it. Or the Bretheren of Stee-el. They'd hack Trogdor's balls with thier axes of fire. I wasted all of Eric's nd your's time! *love and kisses*
As I was trying to say, before I was rudely interrupted, it's pretty lonely around my area. The only others my age on my street are:
- The most narcissistic asshole I've ever met, coincidentally from my Elementary school.
- A girl living with her grandmother, both VERY religious and not showing anything outside of their hands and face. (Also known as: The Amish.)
- People that look my age, but are really 18-20.
It sucks. Some people recently moved into my area (which, in itself, is a big surprise. Fights between neighbors, domestic violence, and stray animals are rampant), and I'm wondering if they're worth introducing myself to. I doubt it though. Oh well... back to St. Laurent, Pierrefonds, and the other parts of Montreal.

Man, you know what's the absolute worst? Lemme tell you.
I was sitting on the crapper minding my business, when my nose starts bleeding profusely. I sopped up the blood with the nearby kleenex, but as I did that, I sneezed twice. And you know, like, when you sneeze or blow your nose hard enough, you can feel it in your eyes? Like, through the tears? Well I fucking saw it. The outer edges of my right eye were a darker twinge of red than my left eye. Yeah.
After a few mintues, I got my shit straight (no pun intended), and then cleaned up and left.
It was horrible.

I'm listening to My Bloody Valentine's last album, Loveless. It's so trippy. A shame no one's heard of them though, I think they're great. I've gone back to listening to Radiohead and Sonic Youth. You could say I'm going back to all the weird shit I used to listen to to mellow out.
Anyways. My day was alright for the most part. I just got kind of mad that Matt Gronau and I weren't recognized for our work at the Robotics competition, Matt especially. He had stayed long hours in school with Louie (who got an award for it), working, welding, and driving the thing until it was done. It's over and done now... so the rant is kind of pointless.
I've been looking through old stories I had written, and I found a ton of old unfinished stuff between me and James. If it wasn't for real life, I'd try to continue writing. I'd love to start up the stuff we've done before. Especially because it's been close to a year since we've written anything, and our writing skills are probably a lot more advanced than before.
My arm hurts more than a hooker with metal teeth. I don't mean braces, I mean, teeth that are metal. I got a vaccination yesterday for Pertussis and stuff (DpT), and must've been feeling the sideeffects today. My arm hurt like a bitch. I felt really down today. Going home, I actually listened to Street Spirit. I haven't been talking much online or whatever. I hope the sugar/adrenaline/something kicks in because I have two shows to do tomorrow. I'll be fine. It's also kinda my fault my arm still hurts. I played my guitar when I got home. Feeling kinda stupid in the funny way now.
At least I'm not being angsty.
...
Ah, why not.

In Computer class, saw Romeo and Juliet in our school auditorium. It was great, I really liked their adaptation/translation of the play to fairly modern day settings.
I'm really hungry, I'm gonna eat my sandwich later, like soon.
yeah.
oh i forgot to mention. I saw Rufio and Senses Fail two weeks ago. I liked Senses Fail

It got humid in my house, and fast.
Mallrats is on IFC, and I rented Lost in Translation and Pulp Fiction on DVD. It should keep me busy this weekend.
I've gotta take it easy this weekend. Monday and Tuesday I've got rehearsal, Thursday is a dress rehearsal in front of Elementary students, and then that night is the first show. Friday is the last show, and yeah.
This heat's getting to me. I'm probably gonna snap and yell at people tonight.

Man, I actually finished that script. And I wasn't up for another 3 hours after that. The Coke did nothing for me though, it didn't keep me up the extra 3 hours.
Anyways, yeah. I've run out of things to say. oh. I've gotten numerous crushes and likes in the school and I'm not giving out names. Hahahaha!

I can't believe I'm doing this again.
I drank a Coke (no aspirin though [in-joke]) and now i'm awake. I'll be up for another 3 hours, so I'll be productive and do homework. Though I should be more responsible and do it while I'm awake and while it's before midnight... I just can't help it.
Anyways, back to work. I gotta be quiet so I don't attract unwanted attention.

Spent my day with my family. We went sugaring off, at a place called "La Goudrelle", down at Mont-St-Grégoire, like... 30 minutes away. Long story short, I ate a lot, talked a lot, laughed a lot, and slept in a car. But not the trunk.
I have no idea what else to say.
Ass.

Holy shit I got absolutely no sleep last night.
Okay, maybe like 4 hours spread out throughout the night. I had KFC last night, had a couple of glasses of Pepsi. I guess the caffeine didn't kick in afterwards, because I passed out at around 9:48 PM. I woke up at 11:40 PM, because the TV was still on and Angel was loud. The caffeine must've kicked in because I wasn't able to get back to sleep until around 3 in the morning.
My night pretty much went like this.
12 AM: Tried getting back to sleep. I kept moving from side to side but it didn't work out for me. Spent about a half hour doing that.
12:35 AM: Decided to look over my Geography notes. After about 6 minutes, I gave up.
12:50 AM: Tried sleeping again. I started thinking about my guitar, and playing it. I kept telling myself that sleep would be nice, but I felt so awake. Damn Pepsi.
1:24 AM: I pulled out my guitar and started playing with my thumbs. I didn't use a pick, and therefore, didn't wake anyone up. I practiced fingerpicking, and now the song I played is stuck in my head. I played at least 9 songs that night. It was like a setlist. That didn't even get me tired.
2:30 AM: About an hour after playing my guitar, I stop and put it away. I turn on the TV and watch an infomercial about a juicer. What a piece of shit. I gave up after my eyes started to burn from the light. I'm happy that they're burning though, it means I'm tired.
3:10 AM: I fall asleep.
The worst part is I'm very aware that my alarm goes off about 2 hours later.
5:30 AM: My alarm goes off and I wake up to the sounds of the latest piece of shit pop song that I don't even know the name of. I mutter to myself "God dammit." I hit the snooze button and try to get back to sleep.
6 AM: I fell asleep, I wanted to take a shower though.
6:25 AM: I realize I have about an hour before having to go to school, so I wake up (and snap out of a particularly erotic dream), and I get in the shower. I'm out by about 6:58.
Anyways. yeah. That was my night, I didn't sleep and it was pretty unproductive. And the sleep I did get, it wasn't good. I'm sore and my neck is killing me.
Ayways, I'm done. I'll probably add more later or something, if I don't pass out later today.

why is it at night i always end up slurring my speech and speaking in a deep, kinda raspy voice? i also stop caring about my typing, and i completely forget taht there's a backspace. on purpose. i'm gonna try to drag on this muthafucka in this melancholy-yet-still-pretty-happy state i'm in, regardkess of what senseless rambling shit i go on about.
felt a little shitty lately. that feeling of knowing that a friend isn't well yet i can't intervene and help because they don't feel they trust me enough... i hate that feeling.absolutely fucking terrible. that and i keep hitting an emotional low every couple of nights. i'm problably just bored or something, yeah.
note to self: "call you back" = "talk to you ina week"
not that i mind.
that much.
...
anyways.
going to a completely different topic now, it's sunday now. i still feel exactly the same. fuck. that sort of feeling where you're trying to think of something to do and you get nowhere fast. it doesn't even kill time. which iis the negative of waiting until i get tired. i am tired though, but not enough to warrant sleep. i'll be up for another few hours so i guess i'll keep writing.
i still have to finish jess' letter. i'd rather not now, i'm not in the mood to write down things. if i did it'd probably look like long lines of absolutely nothing taht makes sense at all.
like now!
i don't even remember what i was rantin g about. something about muthafucka and melancholy. and the word 'low'. the odd part is i haven't been drinking tonight, so yeah. maybe my brain's just meltingo r osmehitng. but i havent drank, and if you know me you'd also know i don't do drugs.
drugs are bad.
i've stoppped kmaking sense to mylsef. time to stop typing ands leepp.

Man, the millennium Falcon was and is absolutely so fucking cool.
God, some people can be so bitter sometimes. I'm starting to (and kinda always did) believe the single life is a better way to go. I really don't wanna end up like them. I find it weird how much people change when they're no longer single.
Michael's idea behind going to Pluto... that'd be cool.
Bowling for Columbine sucks after seeing it 4 times.
Where's my guitar?

I'm at the Metro again. Headed to Place Vertu to buy a birthday card for Kevin. Why there? Dunno. Hoping I see some familiar faces. Who knows what sort of adventure I'll get into? Anyways. I'll kill about a half hour wandering before going home. Sunday sucks, so this is giving me something to do. I have to remember to talk to Jess today. Yeah. My sister.... and everyone else at home for that matter, thinks that I spell guitar as "gee-tar". I can't believe they'd think that. I'm really tired. I got at least 12 hours of sleep though. I think. Okay... 12 AM to about... 9:30. 9 and a half hours. I shouldn't be complaining.
It's April and it's raining. What a welcome change from the snow in March. I love this season. Along with fall. Fall kicks mucho ass. Something gets to me, about all the different colours and stuff.
I find it easy to write personal thoughts in the Metro. My book is small, my writing's kinda messy (Editor's note: What an understatement!), and I don't usually write around people I know. 1 stop to go. More writing later.
(Several minutes later, with much nothing happening.)
I'm on a bus now. For a Sunday, there's a lot of people. I'm a little surprised by that. Shit. I remember to do everything else EXCEPT shave. Looks like I have something to add to the list. Damn. This ride isn't anywhere near how smooth the metro ride was. Lots of cracks in the road and hard braking.
I'm kinda surprised how I was able to make it to April without completely losing it. Like a major breakdown, involving me going apeshit and destroying various school items. Seriously though... It's been hectic, tiring, fun, yet sometimes also kinda Hellish. Ok. Not kinda, it's been pretty terrible.
(In Place Vertu)
Okay... HMV first. Damn. No dice. Weezer DVD = 12.99. Gift idea?
Card store... the whole mall is pretty odd today. There's an N-Gage display in front of Zellers and a bunch of giant rabbits around... everywhere.
I bought it. =w= dvd, 14.94.

Holy sweet goddamn. I got questions in English class which go pretty deep. They're for Romeo and Juliet... but they're more like some sort of self analysis. Example:
2. Do you believe in love at first sight? How serious or long-lasting could this kind of love be? Has it ever happened to you?
4. Do you think that what happens to a person in life is preordained -- that your life's events are "written" by fate ahead of time? Or are events in your life entirely a matter of free will -- what happens to you happens because of choices you make, plus chance? Or is your life a mixture of fate and free will? To what extent?
Deep. Really... deep.

I had to rush this morning because I had 10 minutes to leave. I'm so sleeping today. In school. There's this fucking nasty smell on the school's top floor... like... cooking.

"That's a cute song, Sam. I don't recognize it."
"It's from one of my favourite musicals, Max. It's about a quaint French circus that comes to town and is immediately cannibalized by the local Mole men."
It's a Hell of a town!
The Bronx is up
And the Bowery's down.
The mimes are food

I'm in school right now, computer class. Killng time for whatever. Anyways, yeah. A bunch of people are in class to vote on the entrepreneur class' ads. They made various ads, and we have to choose the best ones.
I have to present my speech in the auditorium. It's making me nervous, but I'm still kinda confident. My friend suggested to break down on stage and go crazy or something, but I'd rather not. Sure, it'd be fun to knock over podiums and stuff, but... yeah.
I'm so tired, yet I'm so wired. It's not enough to pray for mercy, I've tried.
Pilate is my most recent favourite band. Their music is so mellow and calming, it's great for mornings, or credits for movies. Sad movies. Anyways, I've ranted enough.

10000 visitors. Wow.
My school had a rock concert today. Buncha bands performed, including (and here's the shameless site pimping):
The Screaming Portraits, a small jazz group which I don't remember the name of, Probed, Auriga, and Pacer.
The Screaming Portraits were great. Them, along with Auriga, were the highlights of the bunch. Probed was OK, but the vocals could use some work. Pacer was good, but not the second coming of Christ, like some people hyped it up to be. Alex had a more formed opinion of them, check it out.
Yeah.

I'm spending my night listening to the Pixies. Doolittle was fucking genius, and yeah. Kim Deal is hot.
I almost passed out today. Overexerted myself and nearly blacked out in gym class, because I didn't have breakfast. It was seriously horrible. I've gotta remember to have breakfast. That, and I really should figure out what to do with the Weezer thing. It's just... there, updated weekly, I think. I think I'll take it down and re-post it every once in a while. Yeah.
I have a splitting headache and I present my public speech tomorrow. I'm nervous, but I'm as ready as I'll ever be, minus five.
Was on the bus today with Alex and we were talking about the new wave of students at LHA this year, namely the grade 7s and 8s. The one thing that we said that stood out was "Shit. These kids are our future?"
What a bleak and depressing future that'll be. Things either get much better or much worse after you move on to your next year of school. In this case, I really can't say that things have gotten much better... at all.
Holy shit, I'm getting tired. Time to pop a Tylenol and go to sleep.

I should be asleep but being the stupid me that I am, I took a nap and then ended up not tired. I might end up sleeping at midnight again.
The pixies and Weezer are great to listen to at night. They're not loud or imposing. The Pixies are uppity, and Weezer's emo. :D
Tootsie roll god. I mean pop. Adrian might know what I'm talking about, given he didn't get freaked out or anything.
I still smell like my deodorant. At least I know it works.

What a day.
Started off at around 6:30 in the morning. Alarm went off and I spent about two hours sitting around half awake. After calling Alex, I returned Mafia to Blockbuster (and to be honest, I was pretty disappointed). We met up at the Tim Hortons and talked about donuts, Colombian drug money (Note to FBI: We're joking. Honest.), and other wonders of humanity.
When I got up to get a donut, the strangest thing happened. Okay, it really isn't so strange to be honest, but from Alex's point of view, it was... odd. My brother in law was getting donuts there that morning too, and I just happened to be at the cashier next to him. He gave me a light, "friendly" shove, and we said hello. From Alex's point of view, she saw this tall man shove me, and I had a look of confusion on my face. Me and him talked for a bit and then he left.
Fuck I'm tired. Time to sum it all up really fast.
Lots of stuff happened, my pinky got cut, and everything went downhill at around 1:30PM. I like to think that it got better afterwards, but... not really.
Oh, and I was ice skating.
I owe Alex 5 dollars.

I don't feel guilty for not posting for 10 days. Before anything, I wanna say Happy Birthday to Erin!
I've got little to complain about, actually. The snow's clearing up, and while it's still cold, it's not as bad as a month ago. My school life is going well, I haven't gone insane or anything (outside of my usual insanity). I sent out a bunch of candy-o-grams to people in the school, and wrote a lot of personal stuff. I'm not tired or anything. I really think things are good. Sooner or later something will bring me down, but right now, I think things will be fine.
I haven't come up with a name for my guitar yet. And while I still question the whole concept, Rian still kinda pushes me to do it. That doesn't bother me though. Anything.... for a lady. Haha. It's not easy to just come up with a name. Original names are hard to come by. I mean, think back the past month. There was "Fist Of Conniption" (which I still think is a pretty stupid name), forced to change their name because of another band called "The Conniption Fits".
There was also "One Eye Open" who is in the process of changing their name, because of another band of the same name. I kinda questioned the band's choice to change the name. There are at least two bands in existence with that name. There is the one linked to on Rian's site, and there is another listed on All Music. The first one is based in Vermont, and they're a cover band. The other hasn't shown work in about 4 years. I think they should stick with the name.
Anyways, before I get rabid people screaming for my blood and asking me to not waste time like this, I'm out.
Oh, and one last thing, does anyone know how to play the following chords? (I'm looking at you, Howard. :P) C/G (or G/C), D/F#, and C/B. Thanks in advance.
...And that's how I got Herpes in both my eyes.

I'm really really fucking tired. Really, but being the stubborn type I am, I'm not going to sleep.
I've started listening to My Bloody Valentine. A friend suggested a song from their album "Loveless", called Only Shallow. Over time I started enjoying their work. I was a tad disappointed though, when I found out that they hadn't released a new album since 1991. The group never broke up, so... yeah.
I've also gotten interested in Sigur Rós.
I kinda hope I don't turn out to be the kind of person who prides themself of listening to bands no one's ever heard of.
I'm gonna spend maybe another few minutes on the computer before going to my room, playing my guitar, scrambling to see if I have any homework, and then sleeping.

I didn't really enjoy watching 20 centimeters of snow fall. It's February, and even though I should've known that this would happen, I didn't think it would be that high. I've had enough of snow, and I'm not talking about the sniffable kind.
A teacher of mine told me that while students are happy for having days off, they always do the same thing all the time, following a sub-conscious routine. Didn't think much of it at first. But when I thought about my day a moment ago, and I realized how right he was.
All my days off are very similar in terms of what I do, and how much time I spend on things.
I start off waking up at an ungodly hour because I forget to turn off my alarm, or because school's made my internal clock go haywire. I eat breakfast after about an hour and a half of sitting and trying to sleep some more. It's around now that I start playing my guitar. I choose the same songs, normally "Karma Police", "Blister In The Sun", and "The Good Life". I end up on the phone till the late afternoon, watching Matchmaker, Perfect Proposal, and whatever other shows are on during the afternoon. After this, I end up on a computer, or I end up realizing I have homework and I do it. It all sorta blurs from there, but the base still remains the same.
I still enjoy myself, so I guess this post has just gone to shit.
I'd keep writing, but I'm really tired. I'm gonna go now.

Woke up before everyone else. Groggy.
7:40 AM
Had a bagel and croissant. The orange juice is chunky and tastes like mouthwash. Uhh shit, no wonder it tasted like shit. The containter holding the OJ in the juice dispenser was practically empty. All it had was pulp that settled, no juice. That's pretty nasty.

After several hours of... insanity (attempting to find parking at the Pacific Mall, etc.), I find myself awkwardly placed at a table with people I don't really know. At all. If I see the Karaoke selection, I might consider getting sloshed and singing.
(More Bio scribbles)
Right. Anyways, I managed to finish my blate in like 15 minutes. SENTENCE REMOVED.
(Here's where I started senselessly rambling. Around 8 PM.)
I wanna thank Fender, Gibson, Yamaha, and losta others for being cool. And I wanna thank Coca Coca, and all the other cola companies for helping me burn the midnight oil. Oh, and a shoutout to my peeps in Montreal. Miss you all!
I feel craaaaazy, maaaaaaaybe.

Haha! It says 1-2-3. It was yesterday while talking to Erin that I realized I'm kinda like Norm from Cheers in terms of where I am in school. I'm just there, people know me, and while I'm not a major player/well known person, things are different when I'm not around. Yesterday I also realized how much my friends care, and how much I care for them (though I kinda always did. Always.) I hope this trip doesn't suck. At least I could take my guitar.
1:57 PM
I was so tempted to throw Super Mario Advance 4 out the window (Sorry Dan). It's a great game, except for... oh, I don't know... THE BLISTERINGLY HIGH DIFFICULTY!! Maybe I've lost my touch with Mario games, but Jesus Christ, the game is so unfair so many times, allowing for cheap deaths and ANGRY!!! I'm still gonna play. I think the game with the sliding tiles hates me.
2:14 PM
I heard Numb by Linkin Park on the radio again. I still don't like them. God, radio almost always sucks, the good moments are few and far between. I seriously want to hurl myself out of the moving car.

Just talked for a bit and went our seperate ways... Kinda. He was also headed to the T-Dot. (Or the centre of the Universe, whatever you want to call it.)
6:42-ish PM
I'm in Markham, shopping a bit before seeing relatives. To sum up 2:30 till now, I slept in a car, checked into a hotel, played my guitar, and... here we are. Oh, and that clerk at the Days Inn... he doesn't smile enough.

Change of pace, I'm in a good mood!
I had a good day today, and while it ended kinda shakily, it was still pretty good. What made it so great?
- People's reactions to me wearing the sweater. I like it, really soft.
- The classes (outside of that dreaded computer class) were really uplifting.
And most of all, was the entire lunch period. Me, Kevin, and Yashu (and for a short moment, Adam) decided to go back to our old, insane ways. We goofed off, made random noises, trailed groups of people and tried to join their conversations, and... well... it was kind of nostalgic... but it was also a little like reflecting on how much we've changed. We kept that second bit out of our minds, and just were happy.
Ended kinda shakily because of... problems. I'll leave it at that, I don't think I can say much, nor do I want to talk about it. Kind of a long story.
Hopefully tomorrow will be as good as today was.
I'm listening to Wonderwall. If
By the way, I'm going to Toronto on Friday. I'll write about my adventures and I'll be sure to tell you about it. Should be fun!
And before I go:
James has posted a new comic for this week. He's got some golden stuff there, so be sure to take a look.
Daniel always has something going on on his site. He's also got a comic, and he has quite an imagination. I'm also kinda obligated to link to his site, because I'm in the comic.
kthxbye
I played PSX and ate some metallic-tasting burger and some shitty yellow place.
He has a good point.

What in the bloody fuck?
I leave for a week, and I find my tagboard all what the fuck. Really, I've been watching what's been going on.... seriously now.
And "Name", whoever you are, please, just tell us who you are. I really don't mind you being around too much (anymore), but I'd appreciate it if you just told us who you are. kthnx.
Anyways. I have an exam tomorrow for Geography. I have this feeling I'll fuck up and fail, or at the very least, get a 60. I've studied and all, but I have trouble remembering things for topics which I find uninteresting. As much as I'd like to think it'd fun and exciting... it's not.
Coupled with the fact that I've felt like shit lately, it doesn't mix well. I spent a few nights thinking to myself, about... well... my wellbeing. I've realized that I'm a mess inside. I have a lot of trouble expressing myself. I can tell others how I feel about things, but I can never actually say how I feel. I never find it easy to say much about my mood. I have long bouts of feeling down and I don't find it too easy to bring myself back up. It really sucks for me, especially since I'm able to post it all here, but I'm almost never able to speak out. Really... this is just bottling up everything.
I also have a lot of pent-up rage in me. I'm not planning to let it out destructively anytime soon. I am fused just in case I blow out. (<-Obscure song reference!)
I'm done for today.
Thanks for listening, to...
...the only person that calls.
...the one person who's almost always there.
And... that's pretty much it, I think.

Another post in the Computer class. Every time I walk in here, I either wish I was in Drama, or I feel happy. I don't hate the actual course, it's just the other students. They make me angry and swearing. It's kinda funny sometimes.
Yeah. My day looks pretty good right now, outside of French class. I'm looking forward to things.
I go into a swearing frenzy when people read over my shoulder. It's bad because I enjoy doing it. I'm trying to kill time so I'm making this as drawn out as possible.
I want to take a lead pipe and beat random people and objects in my Computer class. MWAHAHHAHAHHA!
Speaking of which, I hate my seat in the class, and I laugh whenever people talk about how the old systems are better than the new ones. They say that, and then they start getting into pissy fits about how Warcraft III is running 2 frames below normal. Fucking stupid, if you ask me. Also, I'm always the one asked when it comes to games.
"Hey Eric, is (system) good?" "PS2 is better, right Eric?"
My answer is normally a swift "Fuck off." They don't take too kindly to this, but that doesn't matter to me. I kinda find it funny when people say "Graphics aren't important", and then continue by saying "Oh man this game looks like shit."
If you're seriously considering a system, then listen to what your friends say, read up on games, and then choose. All the systems have at least 1 game that'll cater to someone.
So yeah.
Fuck off.

1.01.2004
Today's really just another day for me. I mean it. I used to do things today. My aunt and uncle used to do things for today, but for like 3 years now, it's really been uneventful.
I'm trying not to swear but I really just want to fucking blow up. It kinda kills to know that everyone else is having some sort of eventful day, while I'm at home, doing nothing. I was offered the chance to do something, but I turned it down. I woulda said yes, but today's one of those family sort of things. I'm not saying that I didn't want to go. No, it's not that. I decided to turn it down because I suppose I'd rather be with my family.
Anyways, yeah. This'll probably be the longest post I make this year, save for the letter. Oh, I'm sure all you readers remember that. That was definitely something.
Even though I'm not doing anything, I wanna try to stay up all night. I'm probably going to end up sleeping, but whatever. I still wanna try.
So yeah, I sorta lost the whole point ofChristmas New Year's. I mean, I haven't really celebrated it since... oh, 2000.
Whatever, fuck, I mean, I still got... NOTHING! Lying to myself again.
stuff.
Anyways, just to cause some commotion in my life, to give myself something to do,
I'm gonna post some confessions. Some interesting things which could cause a stir.
- I like Erin S. Slipped her a note telling her, not sure if she's read it. I wanna call her but I don't have the willpower to. I should, though, I mean, what's one more rejection?
- I used 160 caps for a cap gun within the span of three days.
- I almost killed my fingers playing guitar for nearly 3 hours, only taking two 15 minute breaks in between. Kinda stupid, but hey! :D
- I have trouble letting go. Expected an explanation? Sorry. Not this time. Not even if you ask.
And now, some things I wanted to do but didn't.
- I wanted to make a movie over the holiday, but never got the time to. I'm trying to think up a story though, involving mass violence, while having a story with a point.
- Obscure song reference: Grow my hair, I wanna be wanna be wanna be Jim Morrison.
- I wanted to do lots of people but didn't. You know who you are.
Back to blogging. Yashu was on the phone. Crazy bastard was smashed. He mouthed off at his neighbor's dog, and was drinking by himself. And as Alex keeps pointing out, drinking alone means alcoholism!
Ugh, I hate it when I open up a new window and forget what I was looking for.
EDIT! - Changed time
Yeah. I'm done today.
Listening to: Radiohead - Pablo Honey, The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac, Hail To The Thief, I Might Be Wrong - Live Recordings, Live at Musiqueplus, B-Sides and Rarities. 9 and a half hours.
