Cultural Shift

Maybe on a larger it reflects culture's movement from a communal society where people look after each other to an individualistic society where everyone looks out for #1.

Hip-Hop and B-Ball

Hip Hop and basketball are parallel cultures. One of the most prominent culture properties that I have noticed is the following.

Back in the day, it used to be the team brought out the star. Now, the star brings out the team.

Back in the day:

Hip-Hop
Groups like Wu-tang yielded stars like Method Man, Raekwon, RZA. Tribe called quest pooped out stars like Q-Tip and Busta.

BBall:
They used to say "Lakers featuring Magic Johnson and Philly featuring DR. J"

Now:

Hip Hop:
You have stars like Eminem bringing out D-12 and 50 cent brining out G-unit

BBALL:
It's Lebron vs Kobe, Tracy vs Vince, etc. Teams are secondary.



The parallelism is astounding eh? Not really.

April Fool

My mom is playing the funniest joke on her best friend. I am guessing he doesn't go to this site (for reasons that might be obvious later). Also, if you know him, please don't ruin the fun. Let me set up the story for you.

This dude has been my mom's best friend for years. I even call him uncle. He is legally blind, but he can still recognize faces. He worked with my mom as a nurse for years. When his eye sight got worse a couple years ago, he was placed on disability.

A few weeks ago, he got surgery to make his eyesight better, but it's still not good enought to work My mom got a Human Resource person from work to call him today. The HR person said, "Hi, we heard you have had surgery and now you're eyesight is better. When can we schedule you back for work?"

I saw him today and he was really nervous and stressed out because he's really not ready. He said he will go back to work with a cane, dog, and sunglasses.

This may not seem too funny to you, but it is really funny if you know him

Happy April fool's. I hope your pranks succeeded.

home sweet

Classes are officially over. These were a pretty crazy 12 weeks. If I didn't have any extra curricular activities, it wouldn't be half as crazy. Ah well it's over and it's time to study for finals....

I'm comfortably at home now. Dy picked me up yesterday. That's sweet of her. Thanks dude.

My bed, I miss you. I've been going on very little sleep the past few weeks and last night's sleep has convinced me that I can sleep all day. Unfortunately, there are other things to do...


//---- My condolences
To the Zhang family.
To the Zapanta family.

Life is finite. Happiness with God isn't.

FW: Ontario Universities

The New and Seriously Updated Ontario University Life
(previous version sucked so I redid it)

Warning: Yes its mean to some univ's but for the most part it tries to be equally mean. Well equally mean to all except York. Cuz i mean c'mon its YORK

Okay, so the summer has ended and school has started. Well, you've
probably gotten together with old friends during the summer, and
you've probably noticed different things about each of them since
they attend different schools. This is what you may have noticed...
Carleton University:
There's a 95% chance you know absolutely no one at Carleton, and if you do, they're probably your brother's best friend's girlfriend's cousin who you don't really care about anyway. I bet all you've ever been told about Carleton is "Don't go there!" Carleton is in Ottawa (you were thinking Hamilton am i right?) and so its campus social life consists of dull keg parties (they exist!) and AA meetings. For them Toronto is intimidating and Quebec exponentially cooler, so they get their jollies by flouting their Ottawness in front of all other Canadians. But being from Carleton ain't all that bad. Sure they'll never wear their Univ sweater in front of Waterloo kids, and yes sadly enough their most famous alumni is nobody's favorite and strangely regarded-as-unsuccessful-though-he-technically-is-succesful-actor/washed-up-comedian Dan Acroyd. But hey Carleton kids get higher GPA's than those who go to actual universitys. What's that mean? That means these bums will get your seats in all the grad schools!


Lakehead University:
Quick fact: 99% of the general populus assumes that Lakehead must be in somewhere called Lakehead. WRONG! It's in Thunder Bay. Go figure. It's new, it's widely advertised on the TTC and its name is the model for meaningless unappealing university names. But hey at least its not York! Lakehead is the college of universities. It shouldn't even be on this list because everyone who goes to Lakehead is really just planning on transferring once they get their ass in gear and pull those marks up. Not much is known of this particular location and so we shall refrain from mocking it too much due to insufficient research. Well that and apathy which btw there is a lot of on campus. However this much shall be said. Lakehead can be a place for new beginnings and strangely enough this is one campus where the people actually get along.

Laurentian University:
Farmers. The whole lot of you! Anyone who claims that Sudbury is the place to be is in need of professional help. If you're not studying the wide world of mining you really should not go here. And i mean REALLY. You people are the definition of small town folk. But i'll bet ya two sheep and a bushel of hay that ya'll are friendly as hell and we all know that people skills account for 45% of moving up that corporate ladder. Or in your case, someday those skills will get Betty Sue to hold on to that shaky wooden ladder for ya when you're trying to keep those dang blasted pigeons from nesting in your barn.

McMaster University:
Located in Dullsville aka Hamilton, you people have absolutely no social life outside of your campus. Your world consists of shades of grey (much like UTSC) yet you have a reputation for being the select few who can mix academic and creative intelligence (much like York - gasp- i've actually said something good about York!). You pretend to be part of Toronto when in reality you weep every night because Torontonians regard you as lesser (and so snub you) while the rest of Canada regards you as Torontonian (and so hates you). Your grad schools have a great reputation and you can hold your heads high in the company of people from all sorts of universities simply because your system is so different that no one can really prove that underlying suspicion that secretly you guys are getting away with having easier courses.


Ryerson University:
If you know someone who goes to Ryerson you've probably heard the phrase "But it IS a real university!" one too many times. Ok Ok we get it. Its a university not a college. Give it a rest already! These people have a knack for complaining. Well who can blame them when one in every three Ryersonites you know is probably some sort of engineer or accountant. Those guys actually do have a reason to b!tch. The rest of you should just admit that in all other respects its still a college! You guys are St. George's little brother. You look up to them and want to be as cool as them but you know you never will be. What you suckers don't know is that your courses actually are on par with those of St. George. Ryerson is the true scammer of all the universities. How so? When you apply to Ryerson your odds of acceptance are pretty damn high. But in second year your drop out rate is phenomenal. Class sizes are usually reduced by more than 60%. This university is smart. They get your money and then boot your ass out of there. You guys get the workload of the 'real' universities but the reputation of a college. Hmm on second thought maybe your whining is actually well deserved venting for the many frustrations caused by your sucky sucky situation.

Queens University:
Snobs. All of you. Nasty nasty snobs! Your snobbishness is solely a result of the fact that you know your school is known on the international scale, you know that people respect the name of Queens and that you must be a pretty good all rounder to have gotten in. Hell even Anne of Green Gables wanted to go here! Lets face it you guys are mostly rich, white kids. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Even if you're not white, your individual style is soon assimilated into the mass market style of gino's/gina's. Right now Von Dutch is big and so are those trucker hats and farmer plaid shirts. You have all them don't you? You do know how to party it up. we must admit and for the most part you guys are ignorant of the fact that the rest of us consider you snobs simply because we're so envious of the fact that you actually get to go to Queens! Oh yeh and once you get out of there the rest of us will STILL not want to talk to you!

Brock university
(The following is the original that was too good to be messed with):
Brock students cannot only walk and talk, they can grow beer guts too. your friend will have seemed to have jacked their level of tolerance, where their metabolism has slowed signifigantly. They talk in "jock lingo" and seem to have contracted several STD's. They will compensate for not having a football team by talking about their sensational rowing team whoo freakin hoo.They may have contracted a third eye also from living in residences bulit on top of a garbage dump.

UofT Erindale:
What the hell? Oh you mean the sauga campus? You have the reputation of prestigious UofT, in a beautiful scenic setting and you get to avoid the crazy commutes of downtowners and the ghetto styles of UTSC. Oh yeh and a lot of you are brown. Power to you! This campus is friendly, academically focused and respected. You guys are the 'nice friend' that no one really wants to pick on yet no one really bothers getting to know too well. You're not too funny or interesting either. You do your thing and thats that. Carry on Sauga peeps carry on.

UofT Scarborough:
It's not a university. It's highschool in disguise. With an emphasis on the crazy and exciting dating scene. (Sorry to rub it in Ryerson but hey things will pick up for you guys eventually). Except maybe uglier. Strange but true fact: The architectural style of UTSC is Brutalist Industrialist. Translation? Its brutally ugly. The garden sculptures look like torture devices, and the school resembles a converted prison. You can tell that U of T gave this place the leftovers of the other campuses. Hell in some spots you guys have cubicles in former closets! UTSC is notorious for its ghetto reputation but is a school that truly has flavour. Its populus is perhaps the single most mu
lticultural campus of them all (although once again lots of brown ppl here too). And for the most part they all get along regardless of ethnicities. This may be the one university where assimilation is virtually unheard of. The down side? Highschool cliquishness thrives here and after a while seeing ENYCE and SEAN JOHN every two seconds starts to wear a little thin.For gods sake ppl your 21 pull up your damn pants! Oh yeh and those cubicles seem to sustain a secret graffiti dialogue culture that really should be studied. What the hell does 'Syndicate' mean anyway?? Stating the obvious: UTSC's secret insecurities arise from the fact that academically they are NOTHING when compared to St. George and they know it!

UofT St.George:
The REAL Uof T (and it IS U of T not UFT) These guys are the definition of annoying smart asses. St. George's reputation for snobbishness rivals that of Queens. Their class sizes have ballooned to the 1000's. At St. George you're not a number, you're a decimal! This may be THE hardest campus of them all and the most respected. Where UTSC bells marks up, St. George consistently bells down. Why? Everyone here emerged from the womb with a straight A report card in hand, a testament to the fact that they were/are/will always be in the '90th percentile' of the general populus. Now these suckers are pitted against eachother in a bloody fight to the finish. Welcome to the real world smart asses, you ain't all perfect and somebody has to get that 60! These guys are miserable (if they're passing), especially if they're the severely isolated and chronically lonely, verging on depression commuters. Commerce is full of Chinese kids who primarily only talk in Mandarin/Cantonese and almost every other field is dominated by white kids. And EVERYONE is seriously over caffeinated. Oh yeh, it's also COMPETITIVE. Friendliness is interpreted as a sly method to get someone's notes/syphon off their intelligence. And that irritating dwntwn chique is alive and well, so don't be surprised to see some non-asian chick in a kimono chatting about the plus side of communism with her friend in a puffy pink formal organza dress (with heels of course). At heart downtowners are embracers of all things and all people, but in order to see that you'll have to get them to slow down and talk to you for two seconds and lets face it, if they want to graduate from St. George they don't have the time to do anything else but study!


University of Guelph:
Is it just me but doesn't guelph sound liek it should be a verb for vomiting? Maybe its just me ... anyway you guys originally planned to be vets but got screwed over when those bastards from Brock and Laurentian got your seats because they had an easier time getting that high GPA. You have great personalities. If you know what I mean. There's nothing to do in guelph so rampant alcoholism is the norm. Guelph is the Bermuda Triangle of universities. Most of you are here for reasons that you can't really explain. None of you REALLY wanted to go here but then again none of you really didn't either. The vast majority of you will graduate into fields you never really wanted to go into to but end up doing jobs that you don't altogether hate. If you had acquired the skills to make a single REAL decision in your lifetime you probably wouldn't be here!

University of Ottawa:
(Original version says it all)
Your friend will stick up for their school where possible but secretly tell you that they only came to Ottawa after they were rejected by their first, second, third and fourth choices. Your
friend will visit Parliament Hill and protest whatever is being protested because 'its fun' and because 'there's nothing better to do'. Weird side trend: They either are French or speak French or plan on becoming/speaking French.

University of Waterloo:
Waterlosers. Being the top school in Canada, Waterloo students are smug and
arrogant believing that they are the best around! Damn you all for being right. Waterloosers have absolutely nothing to do all day but study. Well that and booze it up. The transit system sucks as does the night life. These guys come back to T.O. as often as possible to party it up. Oh yeh and they are even snobbier than Queens and St. George! This campus is ruled by Chinese peeps(in all things business) and by all those kids who you never really thought were THAT smart in school b/c they were so damn quiet. But if you're here for anything other than biomed, engineering and accounting you need to get over yourself! It's not THAT good a school! Trivia: the library was designed by Waterloo students and is currently sinking into the ground b/c they forgot to account for the weight of the books in the library. Way to go Waterlosers way to go!

University of Western Ontario:
It should just be called Western. It's not a university. It's Western. An anomaly. A night club/ resort that somehow got mislabelled as a university. Western doesn't count. Period. More so than the rest. At the other sucky universities you're really going to college. Here you're not even going to college, you're going to a non stop party. Your average intelligence is actually decreasing. Students here carry backpacks full of beer and those booze caps with the long straws attached. But hey there is justice in the world. A degree from Western is worth less than that 2 4 ! Side Note: If you're in business (post undergrad) the above doesn't apply to you at all.

University of Windsor:
Windsor? God I know absolutely nothing about Windsor. It's ok. I guess ... maybe not. Located in the definition of Nowhere's ville Windsor has a reputation for nothing. It may have been bombed to the ground a long time ago and the rest of us would probably never find out for another 6 or 7 years. Oh yeh everyone knows some (distantly usually) that goes to Windsor.

Wilfred Laurier University:
You hate Waterloo with a passion. And they look down on you from on high with grinning contempt. You have a fancy name but no solid reputation to back up that name with. Sorry from this point on the best you guys will ever be is second best. "Your friend will come back depressed because their attempts to mingle with Waterloo students were unsuccessful. They may try to marry a Computer Science or Engineering student from Waterloo because of their infatuation with the school but will return home empty-handed. They may consider suicide as a reasonable option. "

York University:
Saving the best for last. Where do we begin? If you can hold a fork you can go to york. York Shmork. You all know the sayings, you bought the T-shirts. York is the scapegoat for us all. Even Brock probably makes fun of York (although you losers really shouldn't). A significant part of the univ going ppl you know go here. York has a brilliant business program, and is probably THE BEST university for a career in arts. But no one will ever take it seriously. Why? Many reasons. Many many reasons. Firstly York offered every kid at UofT, Waterloo and Mc Master 1000's + a car +human sacrifices in an attempt to sway their decision. And it STILL didn't work! At York every single day is fashion friday. The biggest fixture on campus is not the library, not a cultural center, and no not even the athlethics center. No the biggest fixture at york is the york pseudo mall. Are you ferreal?? It's supposed to be a UNIVERSITY. Shop when you get home! Or at least on the weekend! York's focus isn't on keeping up with academics, its on keeping up with that latest fashion trend. The girls here are gorgeous, the bling blinding and if I see another $1000 Louis Vuitton purse in my face I will SCREAM.York is that kid who always got picked on, by the cumulative group of every single other university in Canada. Face it Yorkers, you guys may be alright but the rest of us bond over picking on your sorry asses. So it ain't gonna stop anytime soon.

Quick Tip:Any insult to one's university can be quickly deflected with the reply "Hey at least I don't go to YORK
!"

" Your friend is trying to switch to a different school. Enough said. " <- Original York

University of Western Ontario:
It should just be called Western. It's not a university. It's Western. An anomaly. A night club/ resort that somehow got mislabelled as a university. Western doesn't count. Period. More so than the rest. At the other sucky universities you're really going to college. Here you're not even going to college, you're going to a non stop party. Your average intelligence is actually decreasing. Students here carry backpacks full of beer and those booze caps with the long straws attached. But hey there is justice in the world. A degree from Western is worth less than that 2 4 ! Side Note: If you're in business (post undergrad) the above doesn't apply to you at all.

University of Windsor:
Windsor? God I know absolutely nothing about Windsor. It's ok. I guess ... maybe not. Located in the definition of Nowhere's ville Windsor has a reputation for nothing. It may have been bombed to the ground a long time ago and the rest of us would probably never find out for another 6 or 7 years. Oh yeh everyone knows some (distantly usually) that goes to Windsor.

Wilfred Laurier University:
You hate Waterloo with a passion. And they look down on you from on high with grinning contempt. You have a fancy name but no solid reputation to back up that name with. Sorry from this point on the best you guys will ever be is second best. "Your friend will come back depressed because their attempts to mingle with Waterloo students were unsuccessful. They may try to marry a Computer Science or Engineering student from Waterloo because of their infatuation with the school but will return home empty-handed. They may consider suicide as a reasonable option. "

York University:
Saving the best for last. Where do we begin? If you can hold a fork you can go to york. York Shmork. You all know the sayings, you bought the T-shirts. York is the scapegoat for us all. Even Brock probably makes fun of York (although you losers really shouldn't). A significant part of the univ going ppl you know go here. York has a brilliant business program, and is probably THE BEST university for a career in arts. But no one will ever take it seriously. Why? Many reasons. Many many reasons. Firstly York offered every kid at UofT, Waterloo and Mc Master 1000's + a car +human sacrifices in an attempt to sway their decision. And it STILL didn't work! At York every single day is fashion friday. The biggest fixture on campus is not the library, not a cultural center, and no not even the athlethics center. No the biggest fixture at york is the york pseudo mall. Are you ferreal?? It's supposed to be a UNIVERSITY. Shop when you get home! Or at least on the weekend! York's focus isn't on keeping up with academics, its on keeping up with that latest fashion trend. The girls here are gorgeous, the bling blinding and if I see another $1000 Louis Vuitton purse in my face I will SCREAM.York is that kid who always got picked on, by the cumulative group of every single other university in Canada. Face it Yorkers, you guys may be alright but the rest of us bond over picking on your sorry asses. So it ain't gonna stop anytime soon.

Quick Tip:Any insult to one's university can be quickly deflected with the reply "Hey at least I don't go to YORK
!"

" Your friend is trying to switch to a different school. Enough said. " <- Original York

Time Management

I've found out this term more than every other term that I have a strong resistance against making things easy for me. See, even that sentence was difficult.

An important life lesson is that you want to do a million things, but can only really do 3 or 4 things really well. The important thing is what you choose as those 3 or 4 things.

I've spread myself very thin and I haven't been able to do well at anything. I ain't crying or complaining, this is my choice. This is my lesson.

I was about to say

It was starting to feel lonely in here. No one would say anything...You know the superskillz video has been downloaded over 2000 times. I wonder who is and I wonder what they're doing with it. People also still download our really old jokes video. These people must really think we're freaks.


//----JRO
THanks J for those Pics. Our girlfriends are good looking. It makes us look really bad.

//----Xiang
Thanks for the hat offer, i'm cool with that. Noya for Soya. Skim milk all the way

//-----LAM
You're looking pretty muscular in your web cam pic. You been pumping those keyboards pretty hard. Thanks for the complimentary ticket to the hypnotist show.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Lawrence gave a girl an orgasm just by shaking her left hand. After that, she looked at him like he was God.

Earlier in the night, we were at the door checking IDs. You know that device which verifies driver's licences? One swipe from Lawrence's card sent it into a beeping frenzy and it read "CAUTION" on the device. That swipe rendered the device useless. I knew someone would eventually find out Lawrence was smuggled here illegally by the Taliban.

WISH YOU WERE THERE!!!!!!!!!


Hey ray, wish you in town for these. i'll post em up cause i have no where to put em right now! so for your viewing pleasure here are some hot girlssss and some sexy, largely hung male porn stars, too!


oh and i'll put up my kingston pics here too (most of them at least).

bubble tease

their drinks suck...once I ordered a hot Taro and it tasted like warm watered down milk...and this was right after that fatso waiter with a comb-over wasted 5 minutes of our time explanation how bubble tease is famous in Toronto...blah blah blah...

Charles (old school UWB) works there though and he gave some of us VIP 10% cards, next time you go I'll lend it to you since I barely use it.

As for hats, hey I dug up 2 toques that I never wore, if you want I can give you one of them.

...can't believe you steal milk...I miss milk...haven't drank any in like a month...always forget to buy it and end up drink it's evil cousin...soya...i can feel my bones getting less dense...

Hypnotized

I was...and then I snapped out of it...before I could even get up on stage. Sorry Ray...you could've come outta there with too many stories.

college basketball

Some say college basketball is better than the NBA. I really don't think so. When you watch college basketball, you are watching the NCAA tournament. That's playoffs. When you watch the NBA, you are watching the regular season. The NCAA tourney is better than NBA regular season, but NBA playoffs are better than the NCAA tourney.

// Dumb and still Dumb

I enjoy taking these online IQ tests, but I always get the same score. For two years now, I've only been able to score 135. I think that's an average score for a university dumb ass. Aren't we supposed to be getting smarter? Ah well that's life.

///---continuation of hip hop social
I forgot to mention that I got a free shirt from Rev. They were throwing them out in the crowd. I anticipated and jumped for it. That's the second time in my life i got a cheap, ugly giveaway. I'm still proud of it though

hip hop social

Yesterday was the end of term event for UW hip Hop. The timing was not great because it coincided with lots of other events. It's all good though. As long as we had some people who wanted to be there.

We began the night at The Heuther. A bar/restaurant. Entering the bar it seemed immediately not like our scene. Lots of older caucasian people who liked to stare. On exit, I accidentlly went into the kitchen. Whoops.

The plan was to go bowling after, but it was getting late and everyone seemed intent on going to Revolution night club. I've never been to this club and apparently it's the best one here in waterloo.

Yep it's nice in there. Way bigger than I thought. For some reason, I thought Revolution was gonna be the size of a room. I've never been to a club that repeats songs multiple times. I heard Uh-oh 3 times. They scrambled their one reggae set a couple times. I heard got some teeth twice and some missy songs a few times.

They must think if they play the beginning of the song now, and the end of it 10 minutes later, everyone is too drunk to notice.

So I got tired of dancing to repeats. I still had a good time though. My hip hop buddies did too...After, we went to Bubble Tease for a late night drink. Dan and jonquil was supposed to join us four (kyle,tola,nancy) so we ordered drinks for them. They never came. So we drank them. They were nasty. I think the bartender totally half-assed it.


--------------------------------------

//----- Thief
I can't help stealing milk from my roommates. I really don't like 2%, but I need my milk. I prefer skim milk and I always run out. I wonder if he reads this page???/

//------ Hat
I bought a new hat. I wanted to buy something for Dy at the mall. Cat was nice enough to take me there. I was looking around and didn't find anything, but I bought this green, army like hat at Bluenotes. I don't know if it looks good on me. It kinda makes me look like I have a short square head!

lost money

Donald Trump in the Apprentice:
So the money was lost somewhere between your hand and your ass

Hip Hop social tomorrow...err later today...

Happy belated St. Patty's day. I totally forgot about it being the hard core alcoholic I am not.

You know I ordered Christmas cards from Futureshop before Christmas. These cards were supposed to be from Dy and me for 2003. I never got em. Recently, futureshop said, "we can't find them, would you like us to reprint them?"

Lovely.

the world is my wallet.

90 hours

You should try to calculate how much work you put in during the weekdays. I'm sure you will be unpleasantly suprised.

//-----------------
// Final Hip Hop days
//-----------------
Today was the last day for Hip Hop practices. I haven't told many people (other than my club) that I'm giving up presidency of the club. I've accomplished all of my goals with the club already and I believe its the right time to let someone take over while I'm still there. The problem is finding someone!

My club and exec have been very appreciative of me and my efforts. I would like to thank them for their dedication to my club and my vision. The club would never run on one wheel.


-----

I wish I was 1000 times more efficient. I wonder though if I was 1000 times more effecient, would I try to do 1000 times more things and still put in the long days and weeks? Probably so, but I wouldn't mind the extra kick.

Raptors theory

They are becoming the blue jays. Fans are getting too used to them. I used to be a hard core fan who had to watch every game. They are way too frustrating to watch though. Most of the time, it's a waste of time. Time is something I don't have. I hope they can swing things in the other direction.

MARRIAGE:

For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the
milk for free."

Here is an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why?

Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get a little sausage.

I was speaking with two of my CS buddies yesterday after class. One of them recently got a co-op job in Scarborough. After hearing the news, my other buddy asks, "Are they going to subsidize your gun?"

Yes barely

// Monkey business
//------------
I'm still kinda making my living as a code monkey. Today I went to london to *try* to finish off a project. There was some confusion going on and I ended up not completely finishing it. The rest should be fairly easy. I met a new dude in the company, Mike. He's a fellow Waterloo guy and a nice guy. He saw my website before he met me which makes me think about controlling what I say here....naaaa

//----------------
// Are those new pics?
//-----------------
What an unbelievable feat! It ain't by bday anymore so I figured it's time for a change. Go look at them. There are only a few. They are from Mark Sayson's bday and a few misc of dy and me.

//----------------
// Performed 3 times last week
//----------------
I did a bunch of shows for charity with my hip hop club and breaking club last week. It was fairly fun. My breaking was particularly weak, but it's all good.

//
I believe that's it before i pass out...
Don't forget that it's lent!

how could i forget

Your next question to your prof should be, "How does it feel earning over $1500 per lecture?"

Here's a link that discloses University's highest paid members. I think they forgot to add my name.

http://www.gov.on.ca/FIN/english/salarydisclosure/2003/univer03.htm

long time

As you have probably noticed, I've been busy. Lots of work to do. That's all good. What's interesting is that all of the moments where I've thought of something interesting or solved a huge problem, a Mozart piece was plaing in my MP3 player. hmmm

////////
// ineptitude
////////
I took the bus in waterloo for the second time in my non-illustrious career here at university. I felt like such a niner. You see in Waterloo, there are two slots for bus fare. One for coins, one for cash and fare. Being a TTC disciple I overlooked the second one and tried to put the ticket into the coin slot which looked like it would fit. The bus driver was looking at me for a while as I struggled to grasp this elementary concept. After about 5 seconds of staring, he ended my misery and showed me the way.

//////////////
/// Rich
//////////////
For those of you who don't know, Richard (the dude who posted below) was mah boy, other than brent, in all 5 years of high school. We went through nuff together. I appreciate his post. It's sincere and very thoughtful. Thanks man! He will be a Chartered Accountant soon which means he'll be making mad money soon. I asked him to be my accountant. I should ask how far negative he can count though.

///////////////
// The light
///////////////
One of my buddies here in waterloo, Mike, says that "the light at the end of the tunnel is often the headlights of an oncoming truck about to smash you". That doesn't sound right. Eh, close enough. Things have been busy for me so I made some recent decisions to change my life a bit. We'll see how they pan out.

Don't ask unless you completely want to know.

Thanks!

I would just like to give it up to Ray and his boyz at Fifth Element for an amazing showing at GenerAsians (Queen's University). Ray, Geoff, Glen, Joel and Andy stole the show.

I would also like to give it up to Ray in particular for being such a stand up guy. Here's a guy who I haven't talked to in ages, takes time out of his busy schedule to drive 4 hours to help an old friend out. If that's not class, I don't know what is. Thanks bro.

I know we've lost touch since we've gone away to school, but you're still my boy. Honestly, anytime you need anything, I'm there for you.

Peeeeace

longest thursday

This could quickly turn into a long entry. Are you sure you want to read this?

///////////////////////////////

I think this is the longest I haven't posted to my site. I can count the hours I slept since then on two hands. Yikes!

I woke up this morning to my alarm. I looked at it and couldn't understand what it meant. I thought I heard it say, "sleep more than an hour"

anyway


//---------------------------------------
// The Passion
//---------------------------------------
If watching this movie does not change your life. I don't know what will.

I've heard about. You've heard about. It's not quite like what you hear. Go watch it.

It was a constant struggle to hold back the tears. I did though. Good thing Dy was there.

//---------------------------------------
// Queen's
//---------------------------------------
Noteworthy
  • nuthin chillin at the holidaeee iiin
  • we enjoy being fed when we don't expect it
  • Geoff likes it a lot. He ate more than half a pizza
  • mmm pizza hut
  • Cocomo was the venue in kingston
  • it was full service 5th element mode: DJing and freak show entertainment
  • for some reason, fashion shows are all the same. You have your models who look like they don't want to be there and you have your models who are too serious for this kind of thing. Relax the sphincter.
  • It was awesome seeing all of my old buddies from St. Mike's high school. Everyone seems like their doing well. It's weird how people stay the same after 4 years. Peace out to Old,Little D,Kevin Hooooo,Byron,Safety Man,Oscar,avery, and the one and only TL. TL was one of the funniest dudes in high school. Oh the stories I can tell.
  • Geoff did this crazy backflip off the banister. Damn homey!
  • I shared a bed with Glen. Not a good idea. Glen is notorious for his snoring. For some reason, he wanted to face me and give me full decibels. More decibels than my Mp3 player. I jumped ship and took it to the floor.
  • J-Ro and Andy did a wicked DJing job
  • At breakfast, Glen pretended there was something wrong with is eye. He scratched at it. He scratched at it with a fork and all this white stuff came out. Everyone gasped, but the dumb ass hid the milk packets in his hand and popped it. haha



//---------------------------------------
// Moving forward
//---------------------------------------
OK enough now. I forgot what else I was gonna write.

longest thursday

This could quickly turn into a long entry. Are you sure you want to read this?

I think this is the longest I haven't posted to my site. I can count the hours I slept since then on two hands. Yikes!

I woke up this morning to my alarm. I looked at it and couldn't understand what it meant. I thought I heard it say, "sleep more than an hour"

anyway

// The Passion

If watching this movie does not change your life. I don't know what will.

I've heard about. You've heard about. It's not quite like what you hear. Go watch it.

It was a constant struggle to hold back the tears. I did though. Good thing Dy was there.

Noteworthy
  • nuthin chillin at the holidaeee iiin
  • we enjoy being fed when we don't expect it
  • Geoff likes it a lot. He ate more than half a pizza
  • mmm pizza hut
  • Cocomo was the venue in kingston
  • it was full service 5th element mode: DJing and freak show entertainment
  • for some reason, fashion shows are all the same. You have your models who look like they don't want to be there and you have your models who are too serious for this kind of thing. Relax the sphincter.
  • It was awesome seeing all of my old buddies from St. Mike's high school. Everyone seems like their doing well. It's weird how people stay the same after 4 years. Peace out to Old,Little D,Kevin Hooooo,Byron,Safety Man,Oscar,avery, and the one and only TL. TL was one of the funniest dudes in high school. Oh the stories I can tell.
  • Geoff did this crazy backflip off the banister. Damn homey!
  • I shared a bed with Glen. Not a good idea. Glen is notorious for his snoring. For some reason, he wanted to face me and give me full decibels. More decibels than my Mp3 player. I jumped ship and took it to the floor.
  • J-Ro and Andy did a wicked DJing job
  • At breakfast, Glen pretended there was something wrong with is eye. He scratched at it. He scratched at it with a fork and all this white stuff came out. Everyone gasped, but the dumb ass hid the milk packets in his hand and popped it. haha

OK enough now. I forgot what else I was gonna write.

dropping the F-Bomb

What's the F-Bomb?
Donald Trump, The Apprentice

//-----------------------
// Undocumented Goals
//-----------------------

  • compete in The Apprentice

  • play Slamball

  • appear in Most Extreme Elimination Challenge

  • be a Freak of the Week in Smallville or at least an extra



Of course I'm not shooting for these goals at all. It would be convenient if they just fell in my lap.

With my luck, I'm fortunate to just watch these shows.

that time of year

Queen's on Saturday

I have a date with Dy on friday. Looks like we'll be seeing The Passion. I've heard lots about it and I kinda know what to expect. Who knows though. I'm looking forward to the experience.

=========

In other news, I got another interesting forward from Fresco:

poor raps. 1 game winning streak down the drain.

Email forwards

The weather is nice. It's supposed to be nice. Don't forget that it's March already. At this time, we all appreciate pre Spring weather.

=================================================

I got some email forwards yesterday that you might have gotten. I found them amusing.

Here's one from Lawrence:

SUBJECT: Husband Mart

The Husband Store
A store that sells husbands has just opened in Ottawa where a woman may go to choose a husband from among many men. The store is comprised of 6 floors, and the men increase in positive attributes as the shopper ascends the flights There is, however, a catch. As you open the door to any floor you may choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go back down except to exit the building. So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

Floor 1 - These men have jobs. The woman reads the sign and says to herself, "Well, that's better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what's further up?" So up she goes.

The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids. The woman remarks to herself, "That's great, but I wonder what's further up?" And up she goes again.

The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good looking. "Hmmm, better" she says. "But I wonder what's upstairs?"

The fourth floor sign reads: Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking and help with the housework. "Wow!" exclaims the woman, "very tempting. BUT, there must be more, further up!" And again she heads up another flight.

The fifth floor sign reads: Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak. "Oh, mercy me! But just think... what must be awaiting me further on?"

So up to the sixth floor she goes. The sixth floor sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor 3,456,789,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping Husband Mart and have a nice day.

I skipped a day

now it's march.

things at come with an expense. I'm helping organize an MC battle for this saturday. Unfortunately, I won't be able to be there because I'm going to queen's. I don't mind, but it's weird not being able to see the final product.

There are exactly 4 weeks before the end of lectures. Scary isn't it?

Every time I look at this site, I think, "Damn, I haven't upgrading/updating this thing in a while"

That's on my TODO list when I go to Seattle.
