Got in a minor accident

Slippery road...car ahead of me lost control and hit the curb...I was thinking "What the heck is wrong with this person?"

Next thing I know, I lose control and hit the curb too. I bounce of the curb and slide around and nudge the other car a bit. Barely noticeable scratches on two old cars. So it fits.

Awww

Ray, there are only so many Don slots...this doesn't mean you're not Don material...it just means that there are more people who are Don material than they have room for and something's gotta give. Just chalk it up as bad luck in the game of random draws. Either that or the Residence Life Group really screwed up...I really thought I'd hafta go lookin for another roomate.

Rejection is not something we like, no matter what we're going for whether we really want it or not...so don't worry bout it.

If resumes were made...

up of disappointments, then I'd have a stellar one to show you.

Got a letter today. I won't be a don.
Disappointing?
Yes
End of the World?
Definitely not

I get to live with my current roommates in the summer, so that should be cool. Apparently, I'm not don material. I don't know exactly what that is, but according to the Waterloo Residence Life Group, I'm not. But hey, that's what life is about: finding who you are and just as important, who you are not.

Over the years, I've found out who I am not (or not going to be):


  • A don

  • A medical doctor

  • A singer

  • An accountant

  • An expert in Graph Theory and History (how ever they relate)

  • technical support

  • A failure


And that's all I can think of right now, but I'm sure there's more. I've tried to become all of those things mentioned in the list except I never tried to become a singer, I just CAN'T sing, and I really never tried to be a failure since failure is just a consequence. I've tried and discovered. I'm sure there will be many more things in my life that I'll try and not like. That does not mean I'm not gonna try things.


I won't be a don and I think I'm making too big a deal out of this by having this long entry. But this rejection has just put some things into perspective.

Onto new things and new experiences....

Awww

There's got to be more to life than this

Everyday, I try not to just go with the flow. I think society's tide is a dangerous one to get caught up in. You could drown in it and not even know it.

They are still out on who gets to be a don. They were supposed to make the decision by Monday, but they didn't. There are probably borderline people(possible me) who they are considering not don material. Who really knows? I'll let you all know either way.

The beat goes on da da dum da dum da da.

I survived lab 3

Lab 3 for ECE 241 was crazy. I was in that lab for 8 hours. That's like watching Titanic twice followed by a good Adam Sandler film. 2 of those hours were due to instrumentation not working. It was so frustrating. Ray, are you taking 241 next term? Be prepared...

Crazy!!!

I can't wait till exams and just classes in general are over. These upcoming weeks are going to be crazy!!!

Ray, thanks for coming home this weekend, I really appreciate it.

love, dy

Had a practice

I practice with Geoff and Glen on friday and chilled out with dy.

We had a pretty good practice and we have a new routine choreographed by Geoff to "Lose Yourself"(eminem).

Happy Birthday Geoff!

I went to Toronto yesterday to watch the raptor game with some of my friends from Waterloo. It was cool, but they lost on a last second miss by Antonio. That's okay though because it was an entertaining game.

I performed with the Hip hop club on Wednesday for the Accounting Talent show. I never knew accountants had talent. Evidently, they don't. Neither do computer scientists or engineers.

I will be heading back to toronto for the weekend. I'm leaving friday at about noon. I have practice on friday for our show on December 15th. Hopefully we can get some stuff done. I have a lot of studying to do as well. Finals are coming up in 2 weeks exactly. And I just realized that. Damn...

Also, today is a special day. It's the Knaked Knight himself, Geoff Reyes' birthday. Happy bday bro...

I'm too lazy to put a subject

So I had this weird but cool dream last night....It was a bright sunny day and I was playing a game of 2 on 2 b-ball. My teammate was this guy named Tracy McGrady. Yeah, he would always pass the ball to me and I'd always get the ball in. We laid the smackdown on the other pair....but I think we were playing against two tall black women from WNBA...I can't really remember, because the next thing I knew I was at the ACC with all my cousins and uncles and we were getting our picture taken. T-Mac was holding the camera and taking the picture. Before I knew it, we went rock climbing, well, sorta....we were in some sports store and T-Mac just threw a bunch of coloured suction cup things on the shelves and hence the holds that we could use to climb the wall...I got up like 2 feet off the ground when my cell phone rang. Not long afterwards I woke up.

Who am I?

I haven't been quite myself at times during the past week. It's probably the lack of sleep. Last night, I was dreaming in digital circuits. That's really annoying.

I had my don interview on Thursday. It went okay I think. It was hard to get a feel for how I did because the interviewers spent most of their time writing. I'm not expecting anything.

On the same day(14th) was Dy and I's 4 year and 5month anniversary. Wow

On friday, there was GroundFX 5 at the SLC in Waterloo. We battled Western. The quality of the battle was ok, but we were the better crew. Tripline was there. They were pretty crazy. The battled some of Supernat/drunken monks

doot doot doot...

Good luck!

Hey Raymond! Hope the don interview went well this past Thursday...good luck and hopefully you do get it...especially @ MKV (air-conditioned!). Realized that you had your own web page through the 5th element web page, so just wanted to drop by to say hi. That's about it...see you around campus.

Don't worry, it's almost over!

What's sleep?

Each new pimple on my face is testament to 8 hours of lost sleep.

I must have missed a lot of sleep.

There still is a chance...

that I might be a don. If you can recall, the weekend, Dy, Mark and Geoff came over, I had a group interview to be a don. Like I said before, there is a slim chance I might be a don because there are only like four spots and 50 applicants. Also, I had to get passed the group interview and get invited for a personal interview.

Well, I got that invitation. My interview is on Thursday and it's probably going to be in front of a panel of four or five people. I've been through quite a bit of interviews so I don't think I'll be nervous. I just have to go in there and be myself.

Hi Ray

Hey ray. I'm glad you had a relaxing weekend. Thanks for coming home, can't wait till you visit again. I'm craving...Waterloo bubble tea and that food from that place Lawrence took us to, yummy chicken torpedos!!! Well, see ya soon.

Love ya lots,

A cheap new toy

I went back to scarborough last weekend and I picked up a cheap toy for 10 bucks. It's the Creative PC Remote. It's a remote small remote and receiver that I can use to control my mp3 players and dvd players like winamp and powerdvd. For $10 it's worth it.

I was home briefly this weekend. I watched 8mile, I'm not gonna comment about it, but I suggest you watch it (don't watch "the ring" if you're the type to get freaked). It was getting a tad rowdy in the theatre, but at least this was the early show.

I had time to spend with my family, since I haven't been home in a month, and Dy. It was a pretty relaxing weekend. I didn't do a whole lot of work, but that's ok since I just recovered from midterms.

What's messed up is that there are only three weeks of class left, which means fafafafafinals. And I just noticed that I haven't done what I wanted to do with this site. I'm hosting some Vince videos and they have got downloaded a lot. I need to work on some features for this site.

One thing my last performance taught me was that I need to practice more. I practice too little. I have two shows on December 15th. Geoff, Glen and I have the pleasure to be performing with one of the Rising Star Finalists. She's a crazy talented singer and dancer. This should be a good one.

Did you really read all this? Superskills? I can't audition, if they can hook it up, I'm down.

Thanks Ray Rah

Hey ray, this past weekend was great! Thanks for all the stuff and I'm glad that you like the sweater...hahahah. Thanks also to Mark and Geoff for coming and especially thanks to Mark for driving....sorry Mark, I tried to stay awake on the way back but my eyes kept on closing.

I really appreciate you guys coming, I'm glad you had fun....I miss ray already, when's the next trip?

-dy

Thanks to my visitors

I did a lot of work friday afternoon, then Dy, Mark and Geoff came over friday night. I showed them my place, and we went out to find some grub. We ended up getting some bubble tea and some Pitas. Oh yeah, before that, we dropped by the SLC for breaking practice. We brought the food back to my place and watched some TV. Mark was getting tired of chewing since he stuffed his pita with everything including the stuff that fell on the floor. Geoff finished first and found that one black olive he put in his pita. We got on the bus, and then just chilled out in my room till like 5am.

8am: I wake up somehow because I have a group interview to be a don. It was really hot in the basement because there were four people there. Dy drives me to the interview and I can barely open my eyes. I spend two hours going through all these stations that test your skills at being a don. I wouldn't mind being a don, and I wouldn't mind not being a don. It would be a bonus to be one, but it's definitely not the end of the world if I don't become one. The chances are slim since there are only 4 spots open with 50 applicants.

Anyways, after the interview, I get picked up by Mark, Dy and Geoff and we head to Mel's diner for some breakfast. After waiting in line outside for 15 minutes, we get seated, order and wait 30min for our food. We finish in about 20 min, and it was good food, but the place reminds me of that place in Road Trip.

Man, I have to go to class. I'll continue this later.

Performed today

My performances today were OK. We broke on the carpet, I performed OK, well I thought I was crap. The hip hop performance went a little better than the breaking one.

I need some work.
