Brett's Lisbon Adventure
| Date | General info |
| 07/31/04 | 1:24 AM Sorry I didn't get any bloggin in yesterday. I was way to buys getting absolutely nothing done. Sometimes I think htat computer are absolutely hopeless. You spend countless hours doing stuff and get absolutely no where, absolutely no where. Oy, they really suck sometimes. Today iw anteed to go fro a real nice long bike but it rained all bloddy day. So I played Myst for a little bit and did absolutely nothing. Well, maybe mroe acurately I got absolutely nothing done. I watched Despirato and the football game. The Roughrider won the football game, go riders. Hopefully thy win the next couple that way they are actually doing pretty good when I get to see them in person. Tommorow I am lanning on doing some work and maybe biking a little since i never got to do that today. Well I hope that you are all habing a good long weekend, every weekend should be a long weekend and I do no think that most poeple would disagree. Three days off is just enough to catch up on sleep a little and get absolutely nohting done. |
| 07/29/04 | 9:47 PM I really need sleep. It's a good thing that tommorow is friday. Currently it's not even 10 yet and I'm pooped with a capital S. So, in lue of my constant lack of sleep this shall be a short blog. It's kinda sad to see how my blog length and quality has slowly died over time but I guess that is what happens when you don't do alot of interesting things with your life. Today I watched the Bourne Supremecy. The movie has absolutely, I repeat, absolutely nothing to do with the book at all. Completely different plot. How wierd, how wierd indeed. Pity rather as I was really looking foward to see the book I was reading on film so I could get a firm understanding of all that I have read. O well, tough potatoes. Tommorow is friday, YAY. Long weekend to. The roughriders play on saturday which is good. But they play a late game, which is bad because I always fall asleep for the last two quarters. |
| 07/28/04 | 11:21 PM Boy o boy am I tired. Got home from work, then played some volleyball. It was really good tonight. Our team was rallying and stayed close in most games and we won a few, hurray. Then after we went out and had a beer. I didn't get home until around 10:30ish, so I had a shower, talked to Danielle on the phone and I'm writing in myb log now. Where does the time go? I have no idea but sure could use a couple more hours in the day. Oy the sleep I would get would be so delicious, tis devoutly to be wished. Heh, one of the guys I play v-ball with thought I was like 24, what can I say, I look older and am amazingly mature for my age, yes mature. Well off to bed I shall go, sleep be with you. |
| 07/27/04 | 10:40 PM Sleep ... *foam drooling from mouth*. What more needs to be said. Dont' know what I really did tonight. I was sposed to go out for supper and to a movie but i didn't know that was today so I ate supper here, and then the gals were going to see the Bourne Supremecy and I am reading it at the moment so I really didn't want to go see it. So instead I fiddled with my computer a bit. I'm making a screen saver for my website that plays all the pictures on it. It will only work on macs of course. I also watched a bit of Outback Jack. If you don't know what is I'll give you a quick run down. It's the bachlor with an Aussie. Done and done. What pissed me off about it is there were 4 girls left, two smart ones and two completely stupid high class snobby stupid city girls. Of course he chose to kick off one of the smart people, oy, how you can like somebody so dense. Wow, I started this blog 40 minutes ago. *drool* |
| 07/26/04 | 8:15 PM Sorry I missed the blog yesterday, my bad. If any of you died because my doing yesterday, just give me a call and I'd be happy to pay for your funneral. The reason I did not get around to writing in my blog yesterday is because I was busy. I went and got my bike from Canadian tire around noonish. I then proceeded to the beach where we sat and swam a little. then we played a little bit of beach volleyball. It was a pretty good time. i managed not to get to sun burnt. Actuallly I don't think I'm really burnt at all. Better than Andrea for the sunscreen. The after we got home I made some taco's for supper, mmmm. Then we watched the Bourne Identity. After that I had to make a few phone calls and didn't end up hitting the sack until midnight. So I didn't really have a lot of time to write in my blog. today I went for a run after wok, it was somewhat refreshing. My knee is now a little sore but I'm sure it will go away in a day or two. So i think I might rant and rave on a little here. As always my raves are usually going to offend someone, but hey, if your not offending someone then your obviously not saying anything it is worth being said. A month or two ago I got an email from the University. It was about an aboriginal scholarship being sponsored by a federal goverment branch I believe. I started reading it and started thinking about it. Why should a person be discluded from an opportunity because of their race? I understand that there are scholarships for many things targeted for many different types of people, however, usually the organization that gives away the scholarship has to do with person that receives it. I have no problem with a goverment organization specifially aimed at aboriginal affiars giving away a scholarship for just aboriginal but a unrelated goverment organization gives a scholarship only to aboringaly people? Discrimination, the exact thing that most people do not want. Free university for aboriginals, no taxes, those I understand. However many years ago the treaties were made they were still made and cannot be unmade, we owe the aboriginals much for what we did to their people and there culture, raping them of their way of life. I am white and I am being discrimated against because of that. Yes, It's really not that much of a big deal and it pales in comparision to what most other races go through. Currently in this world I am a picture of evil. I do not believe that there is any worse position to be in for being though of as a racist as being a young white male. I am delinquent reaking havoc for the peace of the community. I am constantly objectifying and harrasing women. I make life difficult for and constantly abuse other races. No, I am not, I am simply being discrimated against. Everyone that thinks any of this of a white young male has just become what they thought the white young male was. So next time that you see a scholarship for caucasian students only dont' cause an uproar, it's perfectly acceptable, well, that is if your not caucasian. |
| 07/24/04 | 2:31 AM Morning all. Well today was somewhat of an interesting day for me. I woke up around 10:30 and decided to get some food then head out biking. I got out onto my bike around 12:30ish and headed off towards Gatinue Park (it's up in Hull). So i was probably out like 30-45 minutes. I was in the wood on the bike path going down a medium steep hill. I was picking up speed pretty good and thought I'd better slow down or else I wasn't going to make the corner at the bottom. So I slammed on my breaks and my back end slid out a little but I managed to get slowed down enough for the turn. However, once I got straightened out my bike tire was all funny. so I looked at my back tire and it was wobbly and all bent out of shape. So I was a little pissy. I had to undo my back break in order to keep riding. Obviously I turned around because biking through hill with a bad back tire and only front breaks is not a good idea. I don't like to fly over my handle bars very much. So I went back. I did stop off at a little lake on the way home. I took some pics and put them up in a new Ottawa folder. Anyways, i got home, grabbed my wallet and headed on the bus. I went to walmart to get them to fix it. So i got there and the guy is like "well, rims aren't on warranty but I'll go to the back and see what we have". While he was doing this I went over the the same bikes as mine and read the warranty. No where in the warranty did it say that the rims were not covered. It mentioned some stuff that they were not responsible for abuse, misuse, improper care, or wear and tear on the bike. So the guy told me that he couldn't help me with that and I would have to talk to a manager. So I said that would be great. So the manager came, and he looked and my rim and said "Yeah, we can fix it. However rims are not covered under warrenty". I then proceded to tell him "No where in the warrenty does it say that rims are not covered". He replied with "We are not responsible for wear and tear on bike". I said "Well my rim was fine this morning, I put on my breaks and now my rim is bent, I dont' consider that to be wear and tear". Him: "Well It's wear and tear from going over pot holes, and curbs, and jumps". I was thinking, what the hell is imply, that I abuse my bike? So I had a rather puzzled look on my face. He: "I know how people bike". I was kinda pissed, but was getting sick of argueing. I asked him how much it was going to cost because if it was like $10 then I wouldn't of just said f it. Then he was like "It won't cost you anything". I'm like, you stupid idiot, if it doesn't cost me anything then why are having this conversation. Oh, stupid managers. So my bike is currently at Canadian Tire getting fixed. I came home and made some supper. Then I watched the football game. Go Riders, they won finally, YAY riders. Funny thing to, they neeed it really really bad. After the game Eric, Andrea, and I went to a pub and I had some wings and a beer. Then we came back and Eric and I watched the Hell in the Cellar dvds. He's a big fan of boxing. Now I'm off to bed because tommorow is goign to be filled with beach and volleyball, oy ya |
| 07/23/04 | 10:10 PM Gday everyone. Today is another special day. It's my Grandma's Birthday (Gradma P that is). Happy Birthday Grams. Hope this year brings you some god luck at bingo (then again I must say you are rather proficient at it without the luck). Today I got some computer stuff :-) I'm pretty happy with that. I got a 128mb SD card for my camera so I can now save over 150 pics on it rather than 18. Also I got 512mb of ram for my computer so I shouldn't get memory hungry for another two or so years. Yep yep. My roomy and I went to the Bytowne to see a movie tonight. It was called "A Touch of Pink". Not a bad movie. It was about a gay couple and how the one guy (a Indian, like from India) had to deal with his seemingly sterotypicial mother and the one guys journy in accepting his family, and his family accepting him. It was real funny, hi larious I must say. I think I should be off to bed pretty soon though, which is really sad since it's 10:15. Maybe I'll go on an X-files kick, I like doing that. |
| 07/22/04 | 7:30 PM The blog is early today because I have to include something in its content before the night get's told old. Happy birthday Becky :-) Becky my dear friend is working away labouring in the workforce to make a dollar this summer. Today is her Birthday. On this good ole day Becky turns the unimaginable 20. Wow beck your getting old. I can still remeber when I was twenty, I can remember it like it was yesterday, actually today also since I'm still twenty. Oy, come october I'm going to be 21. Scary. I will no longer be able to look at hot 17 years old with a clean consience. I will be considered and old sick guy. Heh heh, old sick guys. Well tommorow is friday, boya. |
| 07/21/04 | 9:30 PM Today was another exciting day at volleyball. I did something a little different thouigh, rather than taking the bus to the courts I viked the whole way. I tonly took me a little bit over half an hour. The bus take me maybe 15-20 minutes, so the bike really isn't that much slower. We played to game and actualy won almost of all them (trust me that's a first). Did I mention that these were both new teams that had never played together before? I'm sure that doesn't matter, nop nop. Then I was coming back home on the bus, and a little came on with her carraige and her daugher (about a year old, maybe 2). So anywho I'm watching this kid cause there sint' alot more to do on the bus, and to my delight what did I observe? This little girl was kewl with a capital P. She was playing with only the best, only the greatest, only the only teenage mutant ninja turtles. That's right, I was all stoked and like "YEAH". Classy, so classy. I new they made a new cartoon about them but it is still not very comon to normal children now adays. It's all pokemon this and gigamon that. like, c mon. Yeppers, that was my excitment for the day. O, and i also missed the bus this morning, walked on to the platform just as it wizzed by me. So I had to wait for the next one. All in all I was only like half an hour late, no biggy. Gotta read more of my book (thanks mom). Well, might use the tele then go to bed. |
| 07/20/04 | 10:15 PM Hows it going? Today was a normal day, then again most days are normal now. O, I added some pics from my bike on the weekend. Then are in a folder called Ottawa 17, 07, 2004 or soemthing like that. What else. I watched spiderman 2 the other day. It is a VERY good movie. I would recomend it to people who like action, and to those who don't just as much. It was impressing to have an action movie where it was more than action. It had meaning, and the feelings in it touched right down into the soul. So good, worth theatre price for sure, if not several times. Also i watched I Robot. Not to shabby of a movie. If your looking for one to go to then it's worth seeing, not a greate movie, but a pretty decent one. Well, that is about all for now. Off to bed i shall go. Tommrowo I have v-ball, yay. |
| 07/19/04 | 9:07 PM Good morning eveyone, some it's not quite morning, but hey, it sure makes for a short day doesn't it. Well, I spose this will be anohter one of those disjoint blogs where I jump from one catagory to another making no interconnection as a proper writer would. Then again, I'm not a proper writer, hell, I'm not a proper anything. Yesterday I went shopping. I bought a shirt and a tie from tip-top tailors, sidwalk sail. It had a lot of wind. You know what I just discovered, a really wierd english thing. So if I'm talking to a person I can say "wow, that reminds you of home doesn't it". Right, that sounds all good an coucher. However, what I really said was (have I mentioned that I'm dyslexic) "wow, that remind you of home does not it?". Just doesn't have the same ring or sanity. Wow, that is really good enlish, reminds your of highschool doesn't it? So back to my story, did I have a story? I don't remember. O well, rant on I shall. So I went for a run today after work (I was going to say school, how silly of me). Coulnd't tell you how far, 6ish k's a think, maybe more. Made pretty good time, pushed hard. Well, here comes my attempt at artsy kinda stuff. ahem (clearing throught). The wind created by my motion, smooth and salt filled, slowly rushes by my body. My head completely full, filled to the brim with nothingness. Concentrating so hard at the current moment, the current job, the current motion, my head is confusingly simple. There is only one goal, one thought, go. Push, don't back down, don't slow down, push, push. Whether I can or whether can't, I do. Every step pushes me farther. Every glide gets me closer to where I want to be. I pedel, time slows down as I speed up. I try to go as fast as possible in an effort to catch that moment for eternity. I give everything I have, right down to the last ounce of energy, propelling me forward. I have gone so far to get here. I very manner of my life has been spent getting to this point. Just to see what I have never seen before. Just to go farther than I have ever gone. I slow as my body refuses to cooperate in this expenditure of its whole self. As I hit this point there is only one thing I can, one thing I can think. Time to turn around, time to head back home. *clapping* *crying*. Wow, you liked it that much. That actually took me a bit of time to thing of, like 10 minutes worth. Wow, I'm deep. Well, maybe I'm just so shallow that small bumps look like crevases. Does this constitute as a long enough blog? I don't know, I've been a little skimpy on them lately, and I am sorry for that. But I have been doing most of them at around 10:30 or 11 which is bed time for me, so I usually just want to hit the old patato sack. Hmm, I have a goal for all of you tommorow. See how often you can incorporate the word patato into your everday language. Use it in spots where is not normally used such as "Wow, your hot, like one of thos patotos" or "Dude, that's dope like a patato". Try it out, see how much your intellectual physce is enhanced. Well, I think that is all for tonight, tty all later. Have a good one. |
| 07/18/04 | 10:54 PM That was close, almost missed tonight's blog. Night |
| 07/17/04 | 10:07 PM Well, today was kinda of a normal saturday. Well, might I first mention that I have no roomates this weekend, so I get the entire place to myself, not that it makes alot of difference, but I do. I woke up around, o, 11ish. Made myself some dinner. I did something, that I'm not very proud of, but you I hope you all dont' think any less of me for it. I know it's horrible and awful, but things change, times change, people change. Yeah, for dinner I fried up some patatos. Like I said, I'm not happy about it, but I added onions, yes, I know. I cut up and added a whole small onion. What was I thinking, but at least I burnanated them. Really I think it shoudl be ok because since I burnt them they are no longer onions, they just become small clumps of carbon, mmm, carbon. So after dinner I watched tv for a bit then went out for a bike. Wow, did I ever go out for a bike. I headed into Quebec and biked, and biked, and biked. All in all I ended up biking about 3 hours, and about 43km. That seems kidna like a long distance, I went to far that my map doens't show the whole way I went. My legs were a little tired but not to bad, it was alost very hot out, about 28 I think. You know, it's kinda funny, I bike for 3 hours in the hot smeltering sun and my arms tan a little, but if I go to the beach for two ours I turn into a giant cherry. After I got home I took a nice long shower, mmm, popsicle. Ok, so I didn't have a popsicle, and I havne't for some time. I ran out about 3 weeks and have not bought any since. Gotta kick the habbit sometime. Then after that I made myself some more grub for dinner, watched tv for a while, then did some work. O, you know what I found out the other day (actually yesterday I think), bean sprouts are kick arse cheap. Yeppers, you can get like half a plastic bag of them for 41 cents. I was supremely amazed. Between cabbage and bean sprouts I should be able to eat healthily and VERY cheaply. Well, that was my day. It was ok, but it would of been a little different had I not been in Ottawa. Quite different actually. You see, Today was a rather special day back home. One of my cousins (Jason) got married. The first one of my cuz's/sibling to get married. So back home all the family (quite extended) are having a good time remanising with each other and celebrating the occasion. Well, first and foremost I must say congrats to both Jason and Janine (hmm, not quite sure how to spell that). I was actually suposed to be one of the groomsmen. Would of been a real good time, sorry I couldn't be there guys, but Ottawa is a long ways from Saskatchewan, trust me, I know just how far it is. Well, I think I might do a little more than maybe watch some X-Files, then hit the sack, hit it hard. |
| 07/16/04 | 1:10 AM O so tired am I, watched the Rider play, they just finished. Unfortunetly the lost. Oy, they are missing the ability to actually make plays, they really look quite sloppy. And Burris, oy, a lot of interceptions or possible ones anyways, he's gotta think those throws through for an extra quarter of a second, off into a coma I go, YAY |
| 07/15/04 | 10:41 PM Am I tired, I tell ya. I'm soryy if my blogs have been disapointing lately. It's just that I have not been doing much cause I've been busy with work and general lazing around. I wish I had more time so I could just laze around, I enjoy that. Heh, my stomach enjoys it too. I really think that I need to go grocery shoppipng, I'm almost out of food. I think I should stick to a staple of cabbage though. It's cheap and healthy. I ate half of a cabbage in two sittings (this is on top of a regualr meal). Yes Danielle, I am a bottomless pit. I just eat and eat and eat, o yeah. If I only I had a slightly larger wallet and a slightly higher metabolism, then all would be great. Well, off to sleep I should go, after writing and email or two of course. |
| 07/14/04 | 9:45 PM Hello. I am a very rich man however all of my money is a bank account and I need $100,000 in order to get it out. Please send me money and i will reward you hansomly. Yeah, I'm sure we have all read this one before. Today was a little tiring at work, I had two or three 5 minute naps, they do such wonders. Then I came home around 3ish. I went to play beach volleyball, man was it raining. I got soakededededed on my bike. We didn't win but o well, it was wet and sandy. So when I got back I took a nice long shower to decontaminate. Speaking of which, the standar amount that should be paid for an engagement ring is two months salary. That is sick. I mean really, that is alot of money for a small piece of metal and diamond. You lose that and i bet you'll be kicking yourself in the arse. Now don't that I'm all cheap or something, but when you make a comparision "I could buy an engagement ring by the standars, or I could pay for 8 months of tuition and still have a grand left". Hmmm, tiny ring or a career. Even if you have the money, really, I don't think I want to spend two months, a sixth of my year working, just to buy a tiny ring. Spend like half a months salary, then take a vacations to timbukto and go hog wild, cause you'd still have money left over. Vacation or really expensive accessory, hmmmm. Wow, I really sound synical. But I'm not, really. I just don't see what love/marriage has to do with a monetary item. Perhaps too much time is spent now adays saving money and picking out a ring rather than getting to know each and building a healthy relationship that will last forever. Diamonds may be forever but perhaps you forget about the diamond and just spend the money on your love/relationship being forever. Personally I think the second one would be quite a bit more benefactial to all involved. After all, who can tell the difference between a $6000 ring from richardsons to a $8 from walmart? right Danielle? (inside story, get in the game). Yeppers, well that was a half decent ranting. Off to the phone and then to bed. If you have any concerns, dissagree with my commentary, or just dislike me please don't hesitate to email me at "iDontGiveAHoot@goaway.com" |
| 07/13/04 | 12:35 AM Gooday, Well this will be short blog, as it is late and all. Work work work, all night, yeppers. Well, tommorow should be an easier day, well today I guess. Nothing really else new. But tommorow the blog *might* be longer |
| 07/12/04 | 11:35 PM Wow, very tired. Got home from work. Did a little computer stuff. Ate supper, went out for a beer with roomies. Came home and watched Love actually, it was pretty good. Watched King Arthur last night, wasn't very good. Other than that, I'm going to bed, night all > |
| 07/11/04 | 7:50 PM Evening. Last night I was up until around 4:30ish. I was working on my program trying to make another release that works on 10.2. Sorry to the people who have emailed and and I have not emailed back yet, but you know, I'm always slow and busy. Today I got up around 11:30 and me and Eric went biking to Mooneys Bay. It's about a 30-45 minutes bike. Mooney's bay is a beach on the river where you can swim and suntan and play beach volleyball. So we went there and hung around for an hour or two then came home. REally couldn't tell you what I've done since then. Well I did just get back from downtown. I went and bought some milk, bread, cabbage, and ICE CREAM. mmmm, I ice cream. So I'm lying it's actually frozen yogurt, but hey, it was cheaper and healthier. |
| 07/10/04 | 11:20 PM> How is everyone doing out in the internet land today? Well it's saturday, I sure did waste it. I spent most of the day "trying" to do work form work, but I couldn't get the damn computer set up so I didn't end up getting any work done, just wasted 4 hours of my flie. Sometimes I just hate computer. You know, computers and the opposite sex have much in common. When the computer is doing what you want it to everything is great. When the computer is doing everything that wrong you hate it, but you still feel like you need it. Your computer uses enough power that if you slept close enough to it you would stay warm at night. However, you would never get any sleep because the damn thing won't shut up. You have to invest lots of money in order to get a computer. Even after you get it there is alwasy a lot of time and money spent in the upkeep. You have to be careful becuase your computer might have a virus and you don't even know it. Know matter how much you think you know about your computer there is always tons more that you could learn if you just sat down and spent time with it. The older they get, the slower they get. Well, that was definately unplanned. Well, other than doing nothing today, my roomy and I went to see the Tragically hip for a while. Well, we didn't so much see them as just heard them cause we dind't want to pay the $30 some bucks. Well, I think I want to watch a movie, but I dont' have any good ones. Maybe I'll watch some X-Files instead. Keep on rocking the free world |
| 07/09/04 | 9:00 PM So, long blog eh. What do you think it's going to be about? I really don't know yet, havne't thought about it to much. Well, lets start with what I did today. Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. Except, he he, on the way home on the bus, I have to switch busses ant one of the main terminals. O, Might I had happy 20th birthday to Little Lee. Hope your having an awsome time in Cypress. So anywyas, my mom and dad sent me a care package a couple days ago. In it was a bag of m&m's, some twizzlers, puzzy peaches, $3000, and a book. Ok, so there werent' any twizzlers. So I've been reading the book on the bus. The last two night I haven't got a lot of sleep. I watched the football game which was on untill around 11:15 ish. It was an ok game but Sask lost. So as I was going to bed, just walking back into my room after brushing my teeth the fire alarm goes off. So I go into my room ,grab my keys and jacket, put on my sandles (I'm so used to fire alarms from luther) and went for a walk for about half hour. When I got back the alarm was off so I went to bed around midnight. Back to the bus, so when I read I get tired, when I get tired I fall asleep. So I feel asleep on the bus, nothing out of the ordinary, I feel asleep almost everyday. The only difference was today I was in a deep sleep, I woke up just as the bus stopped at my stop. I opened my eyes, loked up, and was like holy crap. So I threw my book in my bag and jumped off the bus, what good timing. You know, I've been thinking of throwing a party. I was talking to some people and though "hey, I should have a party". So I'm thinking that this parte will be uber kewl because, well, it's one of my parties. Ok, I know what your saying, "Brett's parties are ok, I guess". Well in that case you weren't at any of my first year parties, or one of my first half of second year parties. Wow, when I look back at those days, I was so young. Where did all the time go. I had a party almost on a weekly basis. So at this party I was thinking of making it BYOB. Then, I was suddenly cast into a downward spiral of dissapointment and meloncholie. I had realized that it could not be BYOB. Why? Because how are people supposed to bring there own blogs? I mean, a blog party would rule, but how to you bring a blog, they are just there right? So I guess that is the end of my byob parties. That really stinks. Thinking of stinky things I have a question for you people to ponder. You know the bathrooms that have a fan? Well, is it better to have the fan and light connected to a single switch or should they be on there own switch. If they are on the same switch then you don't have to feel like a moron if your going to take a nice crunch. I mean honestly, if you walk into a bathroom and turn on the fan everybody knows what you are doing in there. You here the fan go on and it's like "heh, they are taking a crunch". It kinda defeats the whole purpose of the fan. After all the purpose of the fan is to get rid of the smell so nobody knows how raunchy your butt really is. If the fan and light are on the same switch then everytime that you go into the washroom and wash your hands, or do your hair the dang fan is going off. Wow, that can get really loud and annoying after a very short period of time. The other problem with the single switch is everyone knows if you have the light on or not. Sometimes when your in the washroom and just want to relax you don't want the light shining in your eyes. All you want to is sit and relax in the darkness. Or maybe you want to pretend to be blind and feel your way around (I wouldn't recomend you do this in the washroom, things could get messy really fast). I don't think this question will every be solved. It is one that is highly complex and may continue to stump philosophers for some time in the future. Is this blog long enough yet? I said it was going to be long but at what point will you stop reading. Did I mention that my watch went caputs last week? Right, I sure did. On tuesday I went out in search of a watch, but not just any watch. A watch that would inspire and strike awe into the eyes of those who had the pleasure of viewing it. I went to Sears and they had like a bizzilion watches. I found like three that I liked. I'm very picky about my watch. I really like the Analog and Digital. It's the best of both worlds, you can tell the time on the analog with a quick glance or you can set alarms, and do stop watch stuff with the digital, it's great. However these watches are few and far between. So I dind't find anything good at Sears. So I then went to the Hudson Bay Company. They had twice as many watches as Sears. Funny though, when I got in and started looking around I found my old watch. Well, not my old watch but the exact same watch as what used to have. That's kinda odd being I bought my watch over 4 years ago. So I searched the entire watch section in a short amount of time, heh, I said time. So what did I end up buying? Well it wasn't my old watch that is for sure. It's the exact same model except in a different color. Yeppers, It's kinda bronze/grey color rather than a brown/green color. I'm so adventurous. Well I don't have any plans for this weekend. Going to do some work I brought home with me. Maybe watch a movie or two, we will have to see. Well night to all, hope this blog was long enough. I coulda made it longer, but I doubt most of you got this far. |
| 07/08/04 | 8:30 PM Yo, I added some pics from last night's concert. They aren't very good because we were up in the balcony. But they are there if you want to a gander at switchfoot.

Well I biked to work today, not because I missed the bus. I actually stayed a little late cause I didn't want to quit what I was working on. Then I went to the Canadian tire on the way home. If you didn't know one of the pedels were cracked so I thought rather than buying one's myself I'd just get them to fix it for free since I only bought it like 2 months ago. Well, actually less than two months, wow it seems alot longer. Well tonight the roughriders are playing again. I bought me a bag of chips and some pop, o yeah. Well Tommorow I garuntee a massively long blog. I just haven't had the time in the past couple days to actually write anything. But tommorow, it'll take you a while to read, I garuntee |
| 07/07/04 | 11:25 PM Wow, these late nights are going to be akiler. Well Today was pretty good at work, gettin a lot done. Went to see Switchfoot in concert tonight. The opening band (I don't remver there name) was ok. They were rather talented musicians but really lacked the stage show. Switchfoot on the other hand, wow, they were way better than I thought they were going to be. Most of there songs seem so tame when you listen to them on cd's and such, however, in concert ...They rock. They have an amazing stage show and made me feel at home. At several points I thought I was at a real punkshow. Mosh pits, 12 year old girls. Oy, all ages shows kinda suck for that reason. You know how hard it is to mosh when there are 12 year old girl flying around and your afriad that one of them are going to break? Well, I dind't do any moshing, but I had a real good time. Off to bed I shall go. Sleep is calling my name. |
| 07/06/04 | 11:30 PM Time Suck, I had an uber blog planned. Night |
| 07/05/04 | 10:45 PM Well, today was a normal day, not alot happened. Went to work, came home, made some supper. Tuna salad, cabbage, and a can of beans: Lets just say I should start my own business since the price of gas is so high. Tonight I went for a walk and that's about it. Oy, I'm becoming a tv addict again. What is scaryer is what I'm becoming addicted to. The two shows I watch the most is a Degrasse High ripoff called Evermont (it's a highschool soap taking place in Ottawa) and Dr. Phil. The horror and shear terror of the second speaks for itself. Ain't nothin more scary than Dr. Phil. Luckily I think I kicked the Dr. Phil habbit, Evermonte though, it's kinda a good real life show. Maybe I only thin that because I am still able to relate to the situations of the shows. O well, what can I do, it's an addiction. Off to bed I go, sleep is good |
| 07/04/04 | 10:15 PM Surprise Surprise, today I did nothing. Absoluteley nothing at all. I woke up around noon, made some kd and brocolli. Then I think I watched tv for a while, worked on filling out my student loan (I hate filling them out). Then I ate supper, watched some more tv. I made rhubarb muffins. They don't taste too bad but I buttered the tins to much so the outsides are a little crispy/deep fried. O well, what can you do if you live in a shoe, well, besides buy oudor eaters. Off to bed soon I shall go, dont' forget to pick up your garbage after the show. |
| 07/03/04 | Today was a relaxing day. Went out for brunch type thing, had an egg and some hashbrowns and toast. The I fixed my roomies bike and we biking into Hull. We stopped by the market on the way home. I bought a pineapple and some rubbarb. Now you people already know I'm wierd but how many like to eat raw rubard. Just like one would eat celery, mm, rubbarb. We alos bought a whole watermelon to eat. I like fruit :). I was actually up untill 5:30 this morning. What was I doing? Trying to resize the partitions on my hard drive. Oy, nothing is working. So I've been working on that for a large poriton of tonight too. Well other than that me and roomy are goign to watch Donnie Darko. She's never seen it before and I haven't seen it in like 6 months. So, that is me plans for tonight. Hope your all having a good time on this fine saturday night. |
| 07/02/04 | 1:03 AM Hello people. I woke up today around 11 feeling all awake and chipper. I made some food and watched some tv. I went with D and her friends to play some v-ball down at mooney's bay. It was a pretty fun time. We played for about two hours then we came home. I made some supper (mmm, fried rice) and the messed aroudn on my computer for a while. At 10 I watched the football game. It was a pretty good game, both the Riders and the Lions played good and solid. Luckily Saskatchewan came out on top, go Riders. Well off to bed for me, night. |
| 07/01/04 | 1:54 AM Warning, this blog contains explicit words and should not be viewed by anyone under the age or 16, that included you jonathon. Well, this shall be somewhat of an interesting blog I believe. I am warning you that several bad word will possibly be used. So if you are under age or do not like reading bad words then don't read this blog. I shall start off by saying that I had a wonderful time at the party, one of the best times that I have had in aoubt 4 years, yes it was that good of a time. I made a LOT of new friends and hung out with a lot of people. We all had a really good time. At around 9 we went out for some grub (around 5 of us). Alex (D's guy) and I shared a bottle of wine and got us some nice steaks, mmm steak (can't wait till I get home to the farmers daughter). So after that we walked up to parliment and watched the fireworks, then we headed over to a bar. Funny thing, in Ottawa you don';t go to a bar, you go to 6. A single bar is interconnected with at least 3 or 4 other bars. how strange? So we were3 at the bar, funny thing, I got these tow guys to buy me a drink :) That's right Danielle, I can get guys to buy me drinks to and I'm definelty not as hot as you. So I was dancing for a while. I was watching all the girls dancing on top of the speakers and I was thinking to myself, "why"? What is the purpose of dacning on the speaker, exposing yoruself, what is up with that? There was a guy on the speaker next to me dancing and rapping it up with a shirt hanging from around his kneck. Like honestly, what is up with that. well eventually he got off and I thought, wall I might as well find out. So I jumped up onto the speaker and started bustin a move. I did the same thing and basically took my shirt off, hung it around my neck. Wow, it was simply, absolutely, boring. I was up and jiving it on the speaker, and it wasn't anythign special. Another guy was stratling on my speaker and a nother buys speaker and I was like all "you ain't got nothin on me" and he was all like, you get off that and let the big boys play. Needless to say I didn't back down, I can shake a grove with the best of dem. After 20 minutes or so I got off and went back to normal life. I was tired and wanted to go home so I was looking fro the peeps I came with to tell them that I was leaving. So I found one girl that I knew. I told her that I was leaving and she wanted me to help her find the other peeps so she could go home. So I put my arm around her and headed off (we ha dtalked for quite a while before that). Then she told me not to put my arm around her (which I reallyu didn't care about) but she was all rude and snooty about it. So I was like "Whatever, I don't Fin need you". So I went off tofind the other peeps. Lets just say she coulnd't keep up with me. I'm a bar star, I can get grom one oend of the bar to the other end faster than almost anyone. so after a while I found the peeps I had came with. I told them I was going home and the other girl wanted to go home to. So I headed downstairs towards outside (might I remind you that Ottawa bars are actually about 5 bars). I say the girl that was rude to me again and I told her that I told the other peeps that I was going home and she was going home. Then she was mad cause I didn't wait up for her when we went looking for the peeps. Me (not afraid of speeking my mind of pissing off people) said that obviously she need my help to navigate the bar and that I wasn't to babysit her and make sure she followed me through the crowd. So after that I left and came home. On the way home I was walking down the street. Now I'm sure this has happened to all of us. You''l be walking down the street all by yourself and there will be two or three people walking towards you. And these poeple don't have the common courtesy to squish over so you don't have to walk on the grass (a side walk should be big enough for people to walk both ways). If you know me you should know that there is one person that I do not have any compasion/sympathy for, That is people who have no sympothy for other or people who think they are all that. I enjoy knocking people off there high horse and bringin them down to a realistic level. Anywho, these three people were walking toward me. I should not have to move off the sidewalk being a single perseon. In the past two months I have developed a policy not to move. So I went to the right side of the sidewalk and did not move any farther. Needless to say that this girl walked into me and bounced off quite nicely. She was all mad and yelling at me saying "your to busy, your to busy" but I kept walking. Why did I not move? I was all the way on my side of the sidewalk and there are three of you and one of me and if you can't bloody well move your uptight city ass out of the way so I can just squeeze onto the edge of the bloody sidwalk then that is your own problems. Believe me, when people walk into me that is there own problem. I am not a small man. If you walk into me you will bounce off, it is like hitting a wall. I will not give. Perhaps next time these inconsiderate people will think twice before taking up the whole sidewalk. Again, just to reitterate, the only people that I am rude to and CANNOT stand (oy) are the people who are in to much of a rush in there day to think twice about being polite. If you are rude to me I will be rude back. If you are short to be i will be short back. If you are nice to me, or even smile i will do everything I can just to make sure that you small again. Well that is my words for tonight. Off to sleep i go, tty all tommmorow. 5:30 PM Just got back from good ole Quebec. Getting a quick bite to eat then off to da party. I added some more pics to that album, so check them out. 4:05 PM Quick update, we went to go see the stuff downtown but on our way it started pouring, I mean pouring, and the wind was gusting like 80 miles an hour, then it started to hail (a little larger than pea size). Wow, it was wet, I'm soked. So we went and nothing was going on so we came home. Well, off to Quebec for some alcahol I go, then off to the house party. Check out some pictures in the Canada Day 04 album |
