facebook finally.
i feel so dirty. honestly though, i looked at it and there's too many things to click on. too many groups to join, too many steps to go through. i don't get the appeal. on the bright side, now i feel less left out with all my school friends since they're all alllllways on it, with inside jokes and stuff.
this is like how i held out on MSN for 5 years. i always cave. i'm so ashamed.

my freestyle rapping career ran into a little stumble today. my audience had a tough time deciphering my sick rhymes. maybe i'm too ahead of the curve, ahead of the times (i rhyme even when i don't mean to. i'm awesome). maybe the game ain't ready for me. maybe.....maybe.....
ever feel good, but yet not good, because all that goodness seem everyday to be held together tenuously by a thin and straining thread? yea, that's how i feel these days.
i wish i weren't so cynical. i mean, sure, i wouldn't have my dry and charming sense of comic wit, but seriously -- it's tiring being cynical all the time. i wish i could just have a little faith once in a while, just put my brain into cruise control and hope for the best, instead of over analyzing everything and expecting the worst.
i'm like one of those guys who is scared of planes coming out of the sky and killing him. actually, i just realized someone told me they legitimately feared that once. i guess we're all in this crazy world together sometimes.

i think i should start sleeping and waking up earlier. i seem unrested when i wake up in the....afternoon....
i don't understand the big deal about the rumble in MSG last week. we're all just a bunch of racists. tie domi can punch a heckler in the face while tom cheek eggs him on from the box, roger clemens can throw a heavy piece of splintered wood at someone, and it's news, but not any sort of negative reflection on the game.
but a fight breaks out because of competitive spirits in basketball, and everyone assumes black people are thugs. like...what? i don't understand how todd bertuzi or marty macsorley could not have a long term impact in peoples minds for hockey, but for some reason fist fights are a black eye on the public image of a sport, turning into an event that is hard to let go or forget.
like, come on mainstream america, be a little less subtle about your deep rooted discrimination at least. i'm just waiting for the guys at CNNSI to blurt out....."while we're at it, oj was guilty, rosa parks should have stayed at the back, and martin luther king junior was a hate monger. also, uncle ben makes crappy rice."

holidays and saturdays
the song title for this post is eerily apt. i suppose it could be even more appropriate if i was already on holidays, but enh. close enough.
life moves on.
things i can no longer do in my house:
- walk around in just my boxers
- shower and use the toilet with the door open
- blast music at 1am
- drink like a fish
- play guitar at 2am
on the bright side, my parents have been home for less than a full day and my fridge is already stocked with orange juice and soya milk.
it's nice to have some constants in life.

a great story about dwayne wade. we lose track of the fact that athletes are human beings, who more often than not have overcome a million-to-one odds to reach where they are.

"Sometimes I can not forgive
and these days mercy cuts so deep,
If the world was how it should be, maybe I could get some sleep.
While I lay, I'd dream we're better, scales were gone and faces lighter,
When we wake we hate our brother, we still move to hurt each other,
Sometimes I can close my eyes and all the fear the keeps me silent,
Falls below my heavy breathing, what makes me so badly bent?
We all have a chance to murder, we all feel the need through wonder.
We still want to be reminded that the pain is worth the plunder.
Sometimes when I lose my grip, I wonder what to make of heaven,
All the times I thought to reach up, all the times I had to give up.
Babies underneath their beds, in hospitals that cannot treat them.
All the wounds that money causes, all the comforts of cathedrals,
All the cries of thirsty children, this is our inheritance,
All the rage of watching mothers, this is our greatest offense
Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God."

and the snow made it perfect.
as it turns out, the second i even heeded the voice of the cynical side, it was over. i realized i was no longer content because i was content. and the fact that i knew i was soon going to have to move from my contented spot immediately made me discontented.
we. people. i. am such a fool. always thinking its whats in the picture that matters -- that means anything in the long run. when really, it's irrelevant.
the work, the accolades, the great situations, the perfect people, the fortunate happenstances.
it all comes up short when the din dies down, and you start to really think about it. when that cynical voice starts to question, and pushes you to want more -- to consume more, desire more, think that more will help you feel what you need to feel.
and really -- what you needed was not a feeling.
it was meaning.
a meaning that was here all along.
a meaning that never left you in the first place.
a meaning for which i am thankful beyond words.

i wonder sometimes if i'm actually not that busy, but rather just manage my time horribly.
i think this is about 80% the case, while 20% is that i really am pretty busy.
then again, if this was true, i probably wouldn't know how busy i really was anyways, so i would have no way to accurately gauge.
damn you time management. damn you. at least i didn't double book anything this week. i hate when that happens.

i went ahead and brought my coffeemaker down into my room yesterday, then set it to brew a fresh pot when my alarm clock was set to go off.
i'm such an addict it's not even funny anymore.
on the brightside, i think i finally found an alarm that's going to work for me.
open my eyes, drink a mug of coffee, and now it's barely 10:30am and i've been awake for an hour, but i feel ready to destroy the day, hahahaha
man, at this rate i'm going to be drinking 10 coffee's a day.

it's funny how perspective can change so quickly. we think our eyes are open already, but in a matter of days -- or hours even, everything we thought made sense seems stupid and petty.
funny. but ultimately....humbling.

i'm supremely disappointed in the CRTC that this station will not be airing in Canada.
i'm not saying al jazeera is the saviour of the free-press, or inferring that they are somehow "better" than any other news station. but the fact is, they are based in, and have a foothold in the area of the world where the most pertinent and important news today is developing. they have information bbc world or cnn may not have. they have sources those stations may not have. and most of all, they have a presence in the culture of the middle east that cannot be ignored.
the opening was pretty lame (especially the botched breaking news bulletin. somebody clearly missed a cue). and really, i know you just started, but the opening story of your network is.....yourselves? yikes. don't let all that western screaming get to your heads or anything now....
they probably won't change the way we get our news. but al jazeera may challenge not just how our established media reports stories, but rather what news is defined as, and why.

is there a precedence for keeping or deleting pictures of exes? i mean, it's one thing if you don't throw away print photos. it's understandable to me that you just keep all your photos that have been printed because memories are meant to be remembered.
digital photos however seem to pose a more complicated scenario. i mean, if a girl is looking through your photos and you have old pictures of your ex, i think it's safe to assume she'll understand.
but if a girl is looking through your digital pictures on your computer and you still have like, entire folders of stupid random pictures of your ex, doesn't that seem a bit....uh....i dunno.....uncool?
personally, i think the digital medium makes them more expendable, simply because most of those pictures were probably not very good anyways because they were taken loosey-goosey.
i dunno, for some reason it just seems like digital photos should be deleted, but printed ones are ok. it's almost like prints get grandfather claused whenever you meet a new girl, because she understands the nostalgia associated with paper photos.
i'm curious what opinions the ladies have on both sides of the ledger.

nothing scares me like old people driving expensive cars. especially when you look over and it looks like they can barely keep themselves awake until the light turns green.
like.....honestly. scary stuff.
in other news, i'm still awake and it's 2:30am and i think i'm starting to develop an alcohol dependency.
this is not gooooood........
....mainly because i can't afford to be an alcoholic.
i can't believe this is even late for me now. this used to be like, prime-time.
man, i'm getting old.

the perfect crime 2
i apologize if i depressed anyone (cammie) with my bitterness after losing. i don't blame anyone but myself. i just....hate losing.
i know for sure after basketball i'm not the nicest guy after i lose. if its pickup, i'm not AS angry because i know i'll get to play again right afterwards. but when it's any sort of organized competition, losing at basketball brings out like, the absolute worst in me.
to be honest, i thought i was being pretty good on monday, hahahaha
you should have seen me during TCSSC league. or even university intramurals. i almost killed a ref once because i was trying to intentionally foul and he wouldn't blow the whistle.
actually, if i saw that guy on the street again, i'd probably still punch him in the neck. what a bastard he was.
anyways, don't feel bad. at least i didn't yell at you guys during the game like i do to people i actually play basketball with.
