I'm done!

All done. I am now officially a Computer Engineering Technologist. Yay for me! It's so awesome.
Now if only I could get myself a job...

concert aftermath

my ears are full of cotton. cotton that can only be pierced by sharp noises. anything with tone gets through and pierces my eardrums. anything with bass is muffled. there is a continuous hissing in my ears.
and on further recollection, the tea party isn't even that great. i mean they are most excellent musicians, but i don't much care for the music, and it is made all the worse when you feel like your ears are going to start bleeding.
i do hope i haven't done much permanent damage...but they still hurt.

i wish there was a quick cure for temporary deafness

2 o'clock in the am.
so very, very tired.
one exam down, 2 to go.
next exam in 11 hours.
ears won't stop ringing.
listened to a 2 hour set by the tea party.
head 3 feet from speakers.
body front row, 2 feet from stage.
i think my ears want to bleed.
their bass player is amazing. i want to be like him.
i also saw project orange (accent on the orange), a band fro quebec that is apparently climbing the much music charts.
broke my 5 year, never gone to cowboys spree. to add insult to injury i had to stand in line out side of it.
on the plus side i was frisked by a pretty girl with very little on. (bar wench that was manning the metal detector)
time to sleep.
please...let the ringing stop.

what the fuck is wrong with people?!?

why the fuck do people ask my opinion and advice about computers and then not take heed of it??!?!
SERIOUSLY!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!

what a waste of my fucking time...

what NOT to do at a redlight

So just a friendly warning to you all: Don't run a red light if a cop is sitting there stopped at it.
As I was driving home from work last night the light changed while I was still quite a way, but I didn't stop. It was a mixture of not caring, being lazy and not wanting to stop, and not really paying attention. That is until I went through the light and looked over to see a police car stopped at the light facing the other direction.
So yeah, he pulled me over, asked my why I ran it to which i replied that I wasn't paying attention. He took my license, presumably looked me up on the computer, and came back and let me go with a warning, telling me he saved me $287 (the fine for running a red)
That's right, I ran a red light in front of a cop, told him the reason was because I wasn't paying attention, and he let me off with a warning. I guess he was feeling nice, and because my record is clean I got off. How friggin awesome is that?!? Someone was looking over me last night.

good ol' classic rock station

Sunday nights at 11, Q-107, the classic rock station, plays a show called "Legends of Classic Rock." This past Sunday they had a "Beginners Guide to REM." It was awesome.

what kind of crack were the cardinals smoking?

He's 78. Life expectancy for males in the US in 2001 was 77. Given that he's European, and it is not 25, life expectancy is probably 78 or 79. Which means he's already there. Why would you elect someone to become pope when they are at the end of their life? What a waste of time and money and people's emotions. There is just going to be another massive funeral that costs massive amounts of money in the next few years. Seriously...WHAT THE FUCK!?!?
He is the oldest elected since Clement XII, who was chosen in 1730 at 78, but was only 3 months older.
Benedict the 16th? Come on now... What kind of a weak ass name is that? Who wants to be the 16th? Why couldn't they have chosen a younger, more dynamic dude to be pope? He would have chosen a better name too.
And to top it off he's an ex-nazi. He's says he was "forced" to become a Nazi. No young man, growing up in war times is "forced" to be part of the war. They want to be part of it. They long for it. What a load of bullshit.
Fuck this is dumb....what a fucking waste...

did you know...

did you know that tattooing was just recently leaglized in South Carolina? I didn't even know tattooing was illegal anywhere. I need to check into this more as it is kinda interesting.
Just some interesting trivia...

mostly.

Irish Wristwatch

Say "Irish Wristwatch" out loud.
Let me know what you think.

picking your nose in public is still gross...

Alright, for all you nose-pickers out there, you have a medical friend saying that you are on the path to healthiness. This "crackpot" Austrian doctor says "we are to encourage our kids to pick their noses, and that eating it will even boost your immune system."
Picking your nose when no one is looking, or in private is okay. Eating it I still find disgusting.

an e-mail i just received

I just received and e-mail that said the following, and I quote,
"I was in the shower, and I thought this up. Don't ask me why there, or any other questions. Its 11:34pm and I wrote this up. Enjoy, whether you think its funny or not.

I am white rant

Hey, I am not a thug, a player, or a pimp
I call my acquaintances friends, not bro’s or bra’s
I have girls as friends, not hoe’s or bitches
And I don’t know the latest tracks by Jay Z, 50 Cent, or Dr Dre
I live in my house, not my crib, in a neighborhood, not the projects
I like the police, black people, and the Chinese
I don’t have gats, crack or the cheeva
And I don’t know T, J-J, or Big Dawg
I drive a Toyota not a Caddy, and I eat chicken AND steak
I do this not to pry or prod
I do this because
I am white, and I can admit it.

Pass this on, just for the shear fuck of it..."

What strange friends I have...

waiter rant

This guy is an amazing writer. He has a blog call Waiter Rant.
It is an amazing piece of work. He is an excellent writer/storyteller. I just found it the other day, and have been skimming the archives, there is so much interesting stuff to read. Here is an interesting one I found on tea drinkers.
So check out his site, let me know what you think. I quite enjoy it.
Oh, and I got my friend Keith interested in this whole blogging concept and he started one. There is a link on the right.

coments vs. guestbook

So the age old conflict has risen to the surface once again, to leave your mark in the guestbook, or in the comments after each entry...
Each has its own unique attributes setting it apart from the other. The comments allow you to comment on a specific entry, while the guestbook allows you to make general comments.
I kinda like the comments because then you can see which entry your message pertains to, and you can just leave any general comments in the latest entry.
But it is entirely up to you...comment or guestbook it, your choice.

this isn't going to work

I need a brighter template. I can't sit here and go on about how wonderful strawberries are, and post it on this dreary, dark page. It just doesn't work.
So once again, I am on a journey to find a new design. Blogger is a little weird with it's code, a little more difficult to pick up, but I'll try, and maybe come up with a cool design for myself. :)

mmm....strawberries

I had the best strawberries this morning. They were so wonderfully delicious. Big. Juicy. Red. And oh-so-yummy! I can't believe how good they were. They were just so wonderful. I had some last week as well, but they just didn't cut it. I mean they were good and everything, as strawberries always are, and they were the first I've had since last season, but these were so much better. They just blew me away. Mmmmm....I love fresh strawberries.

i'm going to Kamloops!

For that crossover thing this summer I get to go to Kamloops! So EXCITING!!

almost there

So it is kind of a double-edge sword. I really want the pope to die, but I feel bad because it is an old man we are talking about here. What I really want is for there to be a new pope, and that won't happen unless this one dies. So I feel bad for wanting a sick old man to die, but on the other hand HURRY THE FUCK UP! Jesus is calling, you know you wanna go.
On a completely unrelated note:
Electronic Music, where have you been all my life! I'm going to an IDM (Intelligent Dance Music) show tonight. It should be interesting. I've been emersing myself in the electronic music culture today, it is awesome. So much good music. I'll let you know how it goes.
