I'm not an asshole, and we get to showcase the robot at Western Laval.

All is good.

I'm an asshole, and we lost the Robotics competition.
Congratulations to all those who won stuff.

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.

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.

This day was so not worth re-copying. All I scribbled down was the food I ate, for my Biology project.

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.

12:30 PM and 2:45 PM
(Scribbles for Bio Food Diary project... not worth copying.)

7:45 PM
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.

timing Tempo + volume in song varies on line being sung. Strum harder on the "She's running..." bit. Each verse starts, 1 line no guitar, 2nd line start guitar.
and most of all, sing it like you mean it!

Salt + pepper to taste.

Man... I always get the shaft when it comes to seating.

Fun! Was dancing and stuff.
