So, for everyone I know whose birthday was this week....that's Melanie, Sophie, Nicole, Vince, and Matt, bonne fete. Oh, and 2006, happy birthday to you as well.....in less than 24 hours from now. Seems like a popular time to be born. February is still better though hahaha.
Still feeling a little congested by that flu bout. I love how the news claims little to no cases of the flu here. I guess since I didn't report mine, it's all clear. Say what you want lady on the news this morning, there are flu cases here :P. As much as I wanted to go to Moncton, I'm kinda glad I didn't, these flu remnants are still making me weary of travelling anywhere, and I have no patience lately either. Sick and cranky haha.
I soldiered out tonight, ran into someone who turns out, is a blog reader! Specifically, mine. Good to learn whose reading it. I'm slowly learning (hard to do, since no one but Julia leaves comments.....except for those anonymous comments that used to be left here a few months ago).
Well, sick or not, the NYE festivities start tonight! Freddy girls are en-route as I type. No Plaskett for me possibly, but Lawrence St. all the way. I put off drunk at Wagner's on Xmas, so I still have a pile of booze to make me forget I was even sick to begin with hahaha.
Have a happy new year anyone reading this.....seriously, I love it when everyone is happy in whatever they want.....love, career, family, getting tore up on weekends, whatever you want, yeah you, right there-at the computer, I see you.....I hope it all works out for you. I'll probably see you all on the other side of the calendar from this point. Party safe everyone.....I'll TRY to do the same hahaha (my mom called tonight, as she does every year, to remind me not to overdo it-hehehe I love my mom)
Cheers!

I'm So Lame, Posting Again Lee? Geez
Yup, posting again today. I am soooooo bored right now. Sick and having nothing to (actually a good thing come to think of it-need the recovery time) sucks. I started a Myspace account for myself out of sheer boredom, plus I wanted to see some people's blogs and I needed to be a member to view them. Always a friggin' catch. Currently, The Beatles-S/T (AKA The White Album) is on......"Blackbird" right now at this second....just played one of my fav songs off this album, "I'm So Tired" a second ago. I caught myself singing that out loud earlier, and here we are, had to listen to it.
I'm not bored because I have time on my hands, but because I want things to get going so I can start working towards some goals I set. My patience to get things going is wearing thin at the moment. I've told a small handful of people what those are. Basically, since they're so drastic, I need to sit on everything until the time is right to tell. It was super hard to do that last weekend, all the immediate and extended family asking me what my plans are-I basically had to lie, a lie of omission, but a lie nonetheless. Boo. I'm very anxious to see where I am this time next year, it's been a few years since my future was a complete blank slate. I like it, well, a bit that is. As I was discussing with someone last night, I am beginning to get a little worried about those things like personal savings, retirement, etc. I have no plans on settling down anytime soon, the option to pick up and go has always been a fav of mine. I do know that the closer I get to 30 however, the likelier I am to want to settle my ass down. I already had a small taste of that earlier this year, which I am writing off as my brain kicking me in the ass. My dad had no savings and was/still is very concerned about his retirement. I learned that lesson right then and there. Closing in on fifty and realizing that your only pension is the CPP and your OAS sucks. Trust me, now that I took that public finance expenditure course, I KNOW those all suck. CPP? OAS? GIS? You cover your basic cost of living and that's it. Greta for people who just hope to exist in their winter years, but I see me travelling, going to school (yes-again), spoiling the shit outta grandchildren in my retirement.
Oh, we reached "Julia", another awesome song. I was gonna say there are no good songs with my name, but there is Tenacious D isn't there? heh heh. "...Fucking Lee!!" Awesome.
Back to my ramble. It's all about the footer quote on this page. Go ahead, look, I'll wait. Now you see. So while I enjoy randomly moving my ass around the place to be with new/different people, jobs, schools.....I am looking to keep my ass outta the poorhouse in 2050. I have to plan ahead thinking that these two things will occur (1) I WILL live to be that old, and (2) Society will not crumble, money will still be how we procure goods and services, and inflation will be a bitch by my retirement. I need to keep myself the manager of my retirement too, as nowadays, people no longer have one career that will give them an awesome pension plan after their 25th year with the firm. Shit, most people with BA's become "consultants"-i.e. self-employed. What I'm getting at here is that unless I become a career military man (or politician-two terms and it's pension time baby!) I am guaranteed nothing.
So, you can see why I'm impatient. I'm sitting here watching the time slip by-only problem is time has to pass anyway before I can get started. Hmmm.....I guess my real problem is that I have little to distract myself with until the time is right to act. People come home from break! Flu go away already! Let's start school!.....hmm...didn't work.
bonne nuit.....to anyone who reads this tonight.....otherwise, good whatever time it is right now.

My Year In Review (As Seen On Julia's Blog-I Steal...Weeee)
Well, although the year, isn't quite all that over yet, I feel like posting this now. If anything crazy happens in the next few days I'll edit this.
In 2005 I;
* Graduated from university with two majors.
* Returned to said university for a third major.
* Saw The Rolling Stones, The Tragically Hip, Maroon 5 (sarcastic yay), Chixdiggit, Death From Above 1979, K-os, Zeke, Controller. Controller, numerous local and out-of-town indie bands.
* Joined a band myself, began playing shows again......being on stage is very addictive.
* Cut back, sinificantly, my trips to the Valley....while increasing my trips to Moncton. Spent Halloween and Remberance Day there.....no NYE though.....this year anyway.
* Went to Karaoke Party in Moncton (Mel Rox!), can't remember half of what I sung......it was all embarrassing I know. Britney Spears? Was I drunk?
* Worked again this spring/summer for the first time in years-got paid crap and physically tortured, but proved to myself I had the drive now to work anything. Going to bed early EVERY Friday and Saturday night in the summer is damn difficult to want to do.
* Moved most of my apartment-on my back-from one part of Allan St. to another (except for when Julia lent me the car, that was a life-saver), went to work at my horribly draining job the next day, my back never recovered until I finally quit in August.
* Smashed a thousand dollar laptop.....having no money and breaking large investments makes you want to puke I discovered.
* Personal revelations included realizing I was in a bit of a slump......this is still ongoing, but steps have been made to fix that. I also re-learned how to pour my heart out and embarrass myself, and take it in stride.
* Saw Joel Plaskett on NYE.....I'm predicting the future on this one....Vince will buy my ticket today on his way to work......it's for his birthday this year, NYE be damned.
That's that.....sure I'm forgetting stuff, but it couldn't have been too significant I guess. 2006 I know for a fact will be crazier, especially since I have already made some huge decisions in my mind that will impact my life BIG TIME. 2005 was all prep in my opinion.
P.S. Hit the embedded link in the title to really laugh your ass......I almost fell out of chair reading it yesterday. Hysterical.
EDIT: * People I met in 2005....Damn near everyone in Moncton-Melanie, Kevin, Nicole, Dan, Devin, lots of people basically...also Mindy.....and from Halifax, Craig and Jon (met Shane last year oddly enough), that girl at the Seahorse who lit her cig at the wrong end and leaned on my head to keep from falling down hahaha....the drunk guys who borrowed my bass at Reflections. All the people at the Lawrence St. pad Xmas party I drunkenly talked to, laughed with, shared my champagne with. Dale Fahey, more or less this year, although I was aware he existed years ago. Danielle, who I was in class with for months, but never really talked to until the last week although we sat beside each other haha. The dudes at Duffy's who I see every now and again on Spring Garden. Oh-Beardo and Alfred, although there's another case of being aware of them before, just never spoke to them until this year. Ummmm.....Katie, although this won't happen in person until NYE, er, I mean Vince's bday.....but we have talked on MSN, so there's something......Lots of people I met once or twice-various bands and their girlfriends/boyfriends/entourage, friends of friends, co-workers of friends (Il Mercato at Peel Pub!)....my mailman whom I really dislike. For having no real social life to write home about, I meet way more new people then I should it's starting to seem.
* Started smoking....again, for the third time....quit...again...for the third time.

I've Got Nothing To Say, But I'm Saying This Anyway
Maybe while I'm posting this I'll think of a good imbedded link-oh, just thought of one, something Dennis sent me. Enjoy it.
So, stillllllllll feeling sick, although I got fed up and worked out tonight regardless. It's been almost a week, and part of having the discipline to do this is to keep at it regularly, so I had to do it. Anyone else doing that, I would say rest, but I treat myself differently for some reason-do as I say, not as I do right?
This being sick definitely interfered with my Xmas weekend home. I spent so much time avoiding children and the elderly-usually an easy feat, except at Christmas. We had Christmas on the 24th for our house-something which comes in handy for non-traditional households, especially after the grandchildren start to arrive. I avoided all the small kids pretty well I think. So the next day, came the elderly. All of my remaining grandparents looked so frail and old compared to when I last saw them. That just made me feel better about going down home in the first place though-you never know how much time you have together....which holds true for everyone, but it really hits home in those situations. I warned all of them before I hugged them I was ill-but no one cared...awe.
In other news, all the ladies I saw commented on how good I looked with dark hair.....guess it stays for a while longer in that case, but that was already decided, since I was told I looked good with it by all of them in Halifax as well. Seriously, the guys never notice, but all the gals "that looks so good" Christ-I'm sold. :P
Speaking of girls back home, the "friend" I mentioned sometime earlier, you know, the one "with benefits"? well, she was home. I never had a chance to talk to her, but I did see her at the mall very briefly....with a kid. Wished I had talked to her now, just to see how things had changed for her, but you know, Christmas Eve shopping, too busy to stop and chat. The last thing I had ever heard of her was that she was engaged, and that was in 2000 or something crazy. Odd that I mention her, and then there she is. Guess it doesn't seem that odd since it was Christmas, time to go home, etc etc....but since I usually see no one at home, it seemed odd.
Speaking of seeing people, I got to-sick or not, I was going to go to Colin's for his Christmas Day party. Good little gathering, not too big. I never drank a drop and offered to be the DD. Interesting having conversations with drunk friends, they sometimes have a tendency to be really intimate, forgetting that you're not drunk at all, and will totally remember everything. It was fun.....fishtailling through Kingston was too-it had been too long since we acted like we owned that town hahaha.
So, that's my weekend in a nutshell, sick as hell, but social anyway. I almost forgot, the coolest part was when my Aunt and Uncle left my G.parents place, but came back with their youngest son to show him off. "Little Lee" I guess is his nickname-he does look a lot like I did at that age (6 or 7?), but I guess he acts a lot like I did too. So funny that my grandmother calls him that, considering how she calls me Ian constantly-not her fault, there are seriously wayyyyy too many people in that family to keep all the names straight and on the tip of your tongue-the best bet is to go through the ones you think it is and see if you hit the right one. She calls Ian "Lee" a lot at first by accident as well, so we're even. I got to hear some good stories that night as well-like the time the Chippendales came to town, and some of my aunts drug my grandmother out to see them, then tired to stuff the ballot box so that she could win a lapdance in a private room hahaha.....too funny.
Well, I'm off, to do whatever the hell I want with my last days of vacation. Adios.

Back
Well, the drive back tonight sucked.....crappy weather.....it wasn't the worst drive I've had on that highway, but there were moments tonight that reminded me of that worst time. Christmas was ok, saw some family, friends, ate good food, and was sick the entire time. Still sick as I write this. My flu-like symptoms turned to cold-like symptoms sometime around late Christmas Eve. Awesome.
Oh, just remembered, I had this big deal I felt I had to post, some old memory that came to me as I was lying in bed the first night back. Not sure if I'm entirely in the mood to post it however. Basically it was this old memory that I either keep forgetting, or repressing....so I wanted to put it on here so it could be recorded. Well, just posting this will remind me, and who knows, maybe I'll post it later tonight?
That's what I'll do....mmmmmmaybe. a bientot.
1:34AM -Back Back!
Well, here I am, again. I guess the good thing about having access to my cpu and my blogspot account is that I can post any random thing that comes to mind without giving it a second thought-having three days to mull over something sucks. It's all about spontaneity. I will still give up the goods though.
So anyway, the first night I was in the valley, right before falling asleep, I remembered this one thing for some reason or another. Here's the setup-This takes place when I was 12, in Grade 6, and living in Halifax. So, to begin, there was this girl in my class, Jacqueline, very pretty, smart, and shy-as was I, since I never made a move to even get to know her. Anyway, I can't remember how this happened, but it actually got out that I liked her, and she definitely knew it-but still I did nothing. The exact time of these particular happenings is completely beyond my recollection, but I do know that this is what happened next shortly after it was discovered by the entire class that I did like her. First, I went to the valley for almost a week to visit my dentist-excessive? not really. My parents spent thousands on my teeth as a child, so we wanted the same dentist who had performed all the previous surgeries to do a check-up. I stayed with my grandparents in Kingston, and came back to Halifax just in time to catch the second half of a school day. So, I go to school, and find out that J. has invited everyone in the class to her birthday party that Friday after school. Invitations were given out earlier that week and everything. I'll cut out the pulp, and just tell you that I neither asked her about the party, nor was given an invitation by her. I was told by my friends to just go, but I never did. After class was out that Friday, I just walked home while the rest of the class gathered to go to her house.
So, that's that. I don't know if I block that or what, but it definitely felt crappy at the time, so I'm wondering about the effect that may have on me now. There's nothing malicious there, just two really shy people who never had the guts to talk to each other I'd say. So odd that I never think of that-aside from the other night, the last time I thought of that.....seriously can't remember, it's been that long. Having a crush on that girl as long as I did, and then having the dumb-luck for her to find out and not see it as a bad thing-and that's the other part to this, I feel fairly safe in thinking that she was interested....but too shy to do anything about it. Don't get me wrong though, this isn't anything to do with regret-no regrets-just investigating and theorizing.
I guess this is one of those things were I get to put-no one bother to leave any comments on it-this is here purely to remind me so I don't forget again, and to go through whatever exhibitionism this blog could be classified under.
Bonne Nuit.

She's Not There
No, the title isn't about a girl, I just listened to The Zombies-She's Not There like six times in a row. It was remixed for Kill Bill Vol. 2, which I just watched, and now I need to hear that song.....again! Only this time with headphones. Everyone's homework assignment is to get that song. There you have it.
So, I determined that I have the flu.....I based this on the power of the internet. Sore throat, fatigue, joint and muscle pain.....I haven't thrown up or anything, but I think when that happens, it's in most cases NOT the flu, but something to do with your digestive system? The flu is respiratory correct? I'm talking out my ass right now. Shut up, I'm sick. I spent last night finding it really cold, then the instant I pulled the blankets up, I was WAY too hot. Did that for hours.....seriously, I never really fell asleep until the sun was ready to come up. Bru-tal I tells ya. I've been sticking with the fluids regimen, plus I've been eating my face off-need to keep up my strength right? I've always been able to eat when sick with anything, not sure why. Even if I'm a bit sick to my stomach, I'll keep trying to get something to stay down. Too much willpower I guess. (Editor's note, Willpower is often code for Stubborn As Hell)
I will be gone as of sometime tomorrow, and back, well, whenever......who knows. When it's time to come back I guess. So, Joyeux Noël to you all. See you all in a few days I guess. (Whoever "you all" are, since I have only a very small idea who reads this, but I know it's read.....and I still post. Must be getting used to spilling my guts-Fuck! I should be in an emo band hahaha......to hell with that)
Bonne Nuit.
So, I determined that I have the flu.....I based this on the power of the internet. Sore throat, fatigue, joint and muscle pain.....I haven't thrown up or anything, but I think when that happens, it's in most cases NOT the flu, but something to do with your digestive system? The flu is respiratory correct? I'm talking out my ass right now. Shut up, I'm sick. I spent last night finding it really cold, then the instant I pulled the blankets up, I was WAY too hot. Did that for hours.....seriously, I never really fell asleep until the sun was ready to come up. Bru-tal I tells ya.

Ahhhhh
Sick, tired, and sore right now. It crept up on me all day.....but now, since roughly 6 PM or so, I've been really feeling it, and it's just getting worse. I had to cancel the three song set with Craig and Jon tonight.....I'm sure they'll do fine without a bass, really.....I just can't make my way down there, wait to play, play, and come back. Not gonna happen the way I feel. The last thing I went out for is soup-made sure I did it before I completely collapse. This girl I talked to at one of our shows works at Superstore....I was wondering if I'd ever see her again. Didn't say "hi" or anything though, head was too foggy to realize it was her until after I had completely left that section. Oh well, I'll go back next Wednesday night at the same time, hahaha.
Oh yeah, I have a new tactic, it's basically built upon the idea of trying as many different avenues at once as possible-i.e. regular dating....I know, but it's new to me. Usually I just focus my energy on one girl, but that needs to change. I've been stuck in this high school mentality of hooking up and immediately being bf/gf-it won't and can't work that way any more. So yeah, I will be, for the time being I think, a commitment-phobe, or whatever that made up word is. Makes sense, since I honestly don't know how long I'll be in Halifax-forever, or only for the next four months. Seriously, if the Public Service of Canada offers me something good out of town, I'm a ghost. Halifax is too expensive for me right now at the moment anyway, if I move someplace with a lower cost of living, it would just be a smart move.
So, with all that in mind, I have started getting myself to live as if it'll be my last four months here, just in case. Oh yeah, that's my other new thing, being completely honest with people. A year ago, I might have kept my mouth shut about maybe moving, or anything to do with dating....but life's to short to dick around I think. I will, at times on this blog however, keeps things vague from time to time to protect various people's identities.
I also put a link in the title again, it takes you to wikipediabooks.......specifically, the humor books page. I read some of that stuff late into the night on Monday because I couldn't turn away. Take note however, some of it is offensive as FUCK!
Oh God, in the twenty minutes I've taken to type and edit this, I feel even worse....my back hurts the most for some reason-I haven't been coughing too much, but I did kill it lifting/carrying Andrew's bass amp all night last weekend, so maybe now that I'm sick and miserable I can really feel it. Blah.
I'm gonna watch High Fidelity and pass out. Nighty night kids.

What's Happening Kids? (This Is An External Link-CLICK ME!)
I put that link there because of it's loveliness......if the highway you have travelled on more times than you can count being called a "death-trap" can be lovely. Yikes like a MF'er. I bet that link will be dead by the time I post this entry.....pfft, whatever man.
Oh, the currently listening to thing? Got a good one....I'm letting my itunes just go right now, and it is on Blue Oyster Cult- I'm Burning For You. Awesome huh? There is so much randomness to my itunes, it's the best really. I actively encourage people to put whatever the hell they want to on it. Either that, or I'll sit around drinking with someone downloading all kinds of crazy crap. Dennis and I are the best at that, probably why that song is on there in the first place hahaha. Drinking and DL'ing with Ian has now become a habit as well.
So, Christmas presents? Bought and wrapped, well, all except what I an I will be getting on Friday night/Saturday morning that is. I didn't even need to rush to get these either, because it has just occurred to me that the majority of the people on my list I won't see until after Christmas. Meaning yes, I could have waited and got that cheaper on Dec. 27th. Incidentally, I am buying a shitload of Christmas lights when they get cheap.....as anyone who has been in any room of mine since I was 15 can tell you, I enjoy them. They're easier on my eyes, plus there great for setting a mood *wink wink* (And no, that mood has nothing to do with some bizarre Xmas role-playing, I don't own a Santa suit....but I'm open-minded hahaha)
Well, I'm posting for posting sake I guess, nothing to impart, admit, or rant about. So, bonne nuit.

Me Again
Yay!!!! I found out I get to redo my Management Science course again next semester.....I have such a hard-on for that course I'm doing it twice.....hahaha.....I'm pissed, so I'm being venomous.....which I actually enjoy. I know, what a sadistic fuck. More venom!!!!
Enough of that crap, that's life kids, can't be an expert at everything....unfortunately, as someone who rarely ever fails, I feel annoyed, but I'll live. At least doing it again means I'll kick the friggin crap outta that course the second time around. Eye of the tiger indeed.
So, is it just me, or does getting older mean you just care less and less about Christmas? I know I couldn't be excited about it if I tried. I'm thinking if I had kids or some such thing it might bring it back. Right now, mid-twenty something bachelor guy doesn't even notice it really....except that I've been shopping that is, that reminds me hahaha.
So I set a new year's resolution for myself, which I have never done in my life, since I'm the type who just decides to do things whenever (frankly, setting a start date seems like the resolution is doomed to fail to me).....so what is it already rambling man? OK, I realized tonight I need to smile more often, and MEAN it too. It's not like I don't or anything, but I often catch myself doing it and stop myself short. I have a complex built up around it, which I have discussed with one other person in total.....but based on things I've said, it pretty obvious I hate the way I smile. Seriously, this is MY complex.....other people have their own things, this is mine. But I'm just bored to tears with even thinking about it anymore, so enough with that eh? Plus, the girls are never too into the dude who looks like he goes home and thinks depressing things and draws depressing, possibly violent pictures.....hahaha just being self-deprecating, don't mind me.
And no, still no idea what I'll do for NYE.....I'm waiting to be absolutely convinced that I should do one thing over the others....others, that's right, I have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to NYE this year. About time I say.....usually every year I end up getting drunk at home, or at a small party which I'm not into to, and is somehow full of strange people I have little in common with, and this usually occurs through some kink in a plan-like the weather....the weather has interfered in my past two NYE's in some way or another.
I am going to go with whatever plan will be the most FUN, at least one of you possible/potential/maybe readers knows what I mean by that....it's been a while. I'm looking to start the new year with a huge goddamn bang-something to set the tone for the next 365 days of 2006. It's at the point where I really think I should expect nothing less....that's right, I AM becoming more selfish, and good for me I say.
Bonne Nuit.

Cheers
Well...first off, I'll say that the drama I mentioned in the earlier post from last night has more or less been dealt with....and by drama I meant the drama that affected me personally. As far as I'm concerned, it's done-stick a fork in it.
My plans for December have taken a turn towards the unbounded....by which I mean I have no clear clue what is happening as far as my holiday is concerned-right now I'm content to play it by ear.....which seems to be the best course of action at the moment. I do know this however, Reflections Wednesday night will have myself, Dan, Jon, and Craig rockin' Christmas in style. Hopefully some who read this will be in town/still in town and be able to come by for some fun.
At the moment, it appears that Ian will blast back from Yarmouth (he'll be there all week-working) on Friday night, and we get to fit our shopping into Friday night/Saturday morning.....yay. I'm doing my best to clean up some loose-ends in that regard this week. High-pressure shopping.....the best way to end up with a crazy gift really.....having Ian and I running through the mall ten minutes to close on Christmas Eve.
I've received a few invitations for things to do on NYE....and as much as I hate to say it, I'm still deciding. Je suis très désolé......haha I'm listening to The Arcade Fire-"Haiti", and she just sung in French.....so, sorry about the French sorry? hahaha Je suis très fatigué aussi. Frig, it is 3AM....that party on Friday night threw me completely off my schedule. I really need to make sure I do the workout deal tomorrow.....three days of not having done anything is actually bothering me. I really seem to be taking to it actually.....helps that I've done it before I think. I just needed to grow up a bit and learn the mental discipline necessary to motivate yourself. OK, wasn't I talking about NYE? Scatterbrained much Lee? GO TO BED!
I will agree....bonne nuit.
P.S. funny story about why I always say bonne nuit. My mom used to say it to me every night when I was young, but she would pronounce "bonne" as if it was an English word right, so there would be this hard "N" sound.....which I copied.......Fast forward to when I was with Isabelle, and I started saying it when she went home from my place every night. She tolerated my mispronunciation for a while, but one night, she turned around after I said it, and was like "listen, you are soooo saying that wrong...." hahaha I still laugh about that.
OK, now I'm going to bed for reals.

Humans And Their Emotional Baggage
Howdy all. It's been a whir of activity for this boy lately. Going to shows, Christmas parties, playing shows.....busy. Definitely highs and lows this week....I'd say thankfully the lows have little to do with me personally, but I feel bad anyway, so no thankfully about it.
Having friends and acquaintances pissed at each other sucks. Especially if you personally still like all involved who have become polarized. Does that make me bad, or wishy-washy at least. Even if someone is at complete fault, I still see why they did what they did, whether through pride, or fear, or what-have-you. If only we'd all just get along! Humans, what can you do? Seriously though, I'm taking sides, but I'm not as well.....well, in one instance I am....even though I feel the other side is acting out because of some real emotional problems, and I wish they'd get better, and fast, because it's really not fair to some people caught up in it. Sorry I can't name names or anything, but I'll respect everyone's privacy.
Incidentally, there is another issue, which just arose tonight. Note this now....I will not be pulled into any camp here. In fact, even though this did end up affecting me quite personally tonight, I'll still keep my nose out of it. Let's just say I'm far from impressed though.
On a happier note, the Lawrence St. Christmas party was a complete blast. Thanks guys for a fun time.....nothing like staying in the neighbourhood.....I get to trash your house, but sleep at mine, with no cab rides hahaha. I have a camera full of nothing but people looking very suave and fashionable.....I will do my best to get the film developed and post the pics. In the meantime, Julia has posted hers on her blog, so feel free to message me for that address, since I can't be bothered to get it right now and post it. :P
Oh, and let's just say, I had quite the hangover today-not sick, just a feeling of fatigue that I couldn't shake until well into the night. So no pepto-bismol for me today....hehehe....those who what I'm talking about will find that hysterical......I hope hahaha. I certainly do.
Merry Freakin' Christmas! Bonne Nuit.

Let's Try Something Fun.....Maybe.....
Well, since I've been reading more and more blogs by sometimes random people, or people I know, and some I've seen around and got to via my lurking on locals, or what-have-you.....I have noticed that a few people have done this, and fair is fair......I'll even attempt to do it not only in the same style, but answer some of the same types of questions......here goes.
Hahaha....once I finished typing that I immediately thought-"The hell with this!" haha.
* I was born in Middleton, and have lived in Halifax and Ottawa, in addition to various points in the Valley. I calculated last night and it stood at 15 or so different places of residence so far.
* Aside from Grade 6 spent in Halifax, I spent my entire grade school life in the Middleton area.
* Everyone else puts this, so I will follow along....I lost my virginity at 16, pretty common age to do so, for guys anyway. It was the stereotypical 1 hour build-up, with 2 minutes tops of the real deal haha.
* I moved to Ottawa partly for the change of pace, but also because of a girl, who dumped my ass within 2 hours of arriving....apparently it was planned for some time that that would happen.
* I am something of an accident-prone type, but I have learned to live with this, since I honestly believe that there were a few times in my life where I should have died/been killed.....this is part of the trade-off.....so I have broken a few bones and gotten a few stitches.
* The first time I was close to ending up dead I guess was when I was 2 months old and got the croup, and spent 2 weeks in an incubator.
* I also was born within 9 months and 2 days of my older sister's death.....this is a fact that haunts me....I was raised as a "default" eldest child.....who was quite possibly conceived because of her death.
* In addition to my younger brother who I love now, but we hated each others guts as kids......I have a younger sister, my half-sister Brett, who regrettably I rarely ever see.....but I plan to change this at some point.
* I have huge love for Oatmeal Raisin anything, but particularly cookies.
* I hate the smell of vinegar so much, that even if whatever celebrity I thought was hottest at the time came to me and offered sex, if that smell was present, I know I'd never go for it-trust me, I hate it that much.
* Speaking of sex, I'm am currently in a bit of a drought, but that is entirely my fault, basically I have a history of actually turning down opportunities for whatever reason (too shy, not interested, etc)....but lately, because I was so close to finishing my degree I didn't want to screw it up with other responsibilities, I pretty much made myself celibate so I'd have no distractions.
* As far as I am concerned, the above policy has been rescinded *wink wink*
* I used to be a particularly angry young man, for whatever reasons.....now I just go out of my way to avoid situations that would make me angry.....but I still have a temper, which when combined with my sarcasm can make things difficult if I feel threatened in any way-oh yeah, I have problems with being threatened.....ask Ian about the kid who pulled a knife on me when we moved to Halifax....one of my finer moments I must say.
* I worked as a gravedigger with my dad and brother once. My first time on the job, I was in the hole, just getting it down to where we needed it (note, the 6 feet thing is a myth).....and I hit something like a rock, so I used to edge of the shovel to pry it out, and it was a skull looking up at me....I never freaked at all, just said "shit, that's not good" (The plans for the cemetery had been lost in a fire, and the tombstones since moved)
* I ended up fairly traumatized by my late grandfather's prolonged death brought on by his brain tumor. It robbed the man of his ability to speak, and to eventually understand language....and this was a man who loved to talk and tell jokes. I was with him in the room in Halifax when they told him all was lost, and that the treatments were futile....you grow up fast at those moments.
* I have flirted with Buddhism at various times, more as a general blueprint for life than a hard and fast religion.
* I have a habit of saying "yes" too much, or even outright offering to help when I maybe shouldn't because of time constraints or what-have-you. I will often put another person's happiness above my own personal needs.....I need to stop doing that so much....
* I actually enjoy physical labour-it's a family thing, the whole Protestant work ethic in the Prall family. Lots have been said about that family, but no one can ever say they're lazy, because that's an outright lie.
* I have an obsession with the movie Lost In Translation lately.....not only would I say it's funny as hell, but it's probably the most romantic movie ever.....basically because of the whole love story with no sex deal....it just blew my mind.
Well kids, I'm sitting here thinking I'm missing something, but I'm not sure what.....so if I think of it, I'll be back....until then, see you in the funny pages.
EDIT: 1:28PM THURSDAY
Just thought of another, I just did an email forward quiz deal that reminded me of this.
* When traveling, I actually like the journey part. Seriously, getting there is something of a letdown to me. I love being on the road, in the air, whatever, and no one knowing where you or your group of friends are, and having no way of contacting you. That might freak some people out, but I love it-that's freedom.
* Which reminds me of another thing, I don't like cell phones. I have no desire to bothered 24-7 by everyone....frankly, the phone at home rings more often then it should, and always at the worst moment it seems. I like freedom from stuff like that.
* Oh yeah, another thing.....While I appear to have not only a great deal of self-confidence, which some people actually mistake for egotism.....I am actually quite insecure, and sometimes pretty lonely. Weird, I know. Sometimes I want to be alone, and sometimes it's the last thing I want to do....I doubt anyone could tell the difference either, which makes relationships of any type difficult. So I apologize in advance haha.
* I will also never talk about myself, but if you ask, I'll tell you everything-the trick is to ask the right question. So what am I doing right now you might ask? Aren't I telling you everything? Not really, because I am actually thinking of what to put, and then asking myself to explain it.
* I also will sing along to anything, I'm doing it right now.....if music is playing in my room, or in the car, chances are good I'm rockin' out to it.
Hahaha....once I finished typing that I immediately thought-"The hell with this!" haha.

* In addition to my younger brother who I love now, but we hated each others guts as kids......I have a younger sister, my half-sister Brett, who regrettably I rarely ever see.....but I plan to change this at some point.
* I have huge love for Oatmeal Raisin anything, but particularly cookies.
* I hate the smell of vinegar so much, that even if whatever celebrity I thought was hottest at the time came to me and offered sex, if that smell was present, I know I'd never go for it-trust me, I hate it that much.
* Speaking of sex, I'm am currently in a bit of a drought, but that is entirely my fault, basically I have a history of actually turning down opportunities for whatever reason (too shy, not interested, etc)....but lately, because I was so close to finishing my degree I didn't want to screw it up with other responsibilities, I pretty much made myself celibate so I'd have no distractions.
* As far as I am concerned, the above policy has been rescinded *wink wink*
* I used to be a particularly angry young man, for whatever reasons.....now I just go out of my way to avoid situations that would make me angry.....but I still have a temper, which when combined with my sarcasm can make things difficult if I feel threatened in any way-oh yeah, I have problems with being threatened.....ask Ian about the kid who pulled a knife on me when we moved to Halifax....one of my finer moments I must say.
* I worked as a gravedigger with my dad and brother once. My first time on the job, I was in the hole, just getting it down to where we needed it (note, the 6 feet thing is a myth).....and I hit something like a rock, so I used to edge of the shovel to pry it out, and it was a skull looking up at me....I never freaked at all, just said "shit, that's not good" (The plans for the cemetery had been lost in a fire, and the tombstones since moved)
* I ended up fairly traumatized by my late grandfather's prolonged death brought on by his brain tumor. It robbed the man of his ability to speak, and to eventually understand language....and this was a man who loved to talk and tell jokes. I was with him in the room in Halifax when they told him all was lost, and that the treatments were futile....you grow up fast at those moments.
* I have flirted with Buddhism at various times, more as a general blueprint for life than a hard and fast religion.
* I have a habit of saying "yes" too much, or even outright offering to help when I maybe shouldn't because of time constraints or what-have-you. I will often put another person's happiness above my own personal needs.....I need to stop doing that so much....
* I actually enjoy physical labour-it's a family thing, the whole Protestant work ethic in the Prall family. Lots have been said about that family, but no one can ever say they're lazy, because that's an outright lie.
* I have an obsession with the movie Lost In Translation lately.....not only would I say it's funny as hell, but it's probably the most romantic movie ever.....basically because of the whole love story with no sex deal....it just blew my mind.
Well kids, I'm sitting here thinking I'm missing something, but I'm not sure what.....so if I think of it, I'll be back....until then, see you in the funny pages.
EDIT: 1:28PM THURSDAY
Just thought of another, I just did an email forward quiz deal that reminded me of this.
* When traveling, I actually like the journey part. Seriously, getting there is something of a letdown to me. I love being on the road, in the air, whatever, and no one knowing where you or your group of friends are, and having no way of contacting you. That might freak some people out, but I love it-that's freedom.
* Which reminds me of another thing, I don't like cell phones. I have no desire to bothered 24-7 by everyone....frankly, the phone at home rings more often then it should, and always at the worst moment it seems. I like freedom from stuff like that.
* Oh yeah, another thing.....While I appear to have not only a great deal of self-confidence, which some people actually mistake for egotism.....I am actually quite insecure, and sometimes pretty lonely. Weird, I know. Sometimes I want to be alone, and sometimes it's the last thing I want to do....I doubt anyone could tell the difference either, which makes relationships of any type difficult. So I apologize in advance haha.
* I will also never talk about myself, but if you ask, I'll tell you everything-the trick is to ask the right question. So what am I doing right now you might ask? Aren't I telling you everything? Not really, because I am actually thinking of what to put, and then asking myself to explain it.
* I also will sing along to anything, I'm doing it right now.....if music is playing in my room, or in the car, chances are good I'm rockin' out to it.

Tired, But :)
Bonjour.....I was hoping to maybe make it downtown to see HotShotRobot tonight, but it looks as if I may need to sit this one out. I feel bad about though, especially after I posted on Jenn's blog how much I wanted to catch them play. I'm horrible hahaha.
Exams are done-finished up the last one this afternoon. Thank Friggin God-I've kind of gotten tired of Saint Mary's.....besides just being burned out, I ended up with a pretty crappy mark in one of my classes, that I feel is quite misleading-basically I should have known to get out of that class, but I thought it might turn out all right-the prof has a bit of a reputation as not only being a hard marker (which I can live with), but the class tests were, well, crap.....half the questions were pointless as hell, and would reference useless facts from the book.....it comes down to the fact that the guy is closing in on retirement, and he has tenure. I still passed it, so whatever-I am now more resolved than before that I will be out of dodge come next year. Work, here I come!
So, after all that, why am I in a good mood? Because I went out and had some fun last night. Rockin' 4 $'s was packed ($600 up for grabs), and we played, well, OK-there were some tuning issues, but nothing major. I almost won the money too, I came so close....if I had won that and went 2 for 2 with a grand total of $800, I think every band there would have killed me hahaha
Also, I got to kick back and watch a re-enactment of a high school dance. I won't name names, but two friends were either in the getting set-up situation, or, I don't know what the other would be-pre-dating? Friggin complicated stuff.....anyway, it was fun. Hearing stuff like "She's over there-Don't stare!", not once, but twice? hehehe It was refreshing to see that type of thing in a bar-no leaving to have a random one-night stand or anything....but people actually getting together-I guess I am a closet romantic huh? hahaha. Well, I'm happy for both of you regardless of whatever happens, I enjoyed seeing you both enjoying your lives. Watching the human comedy is such a kick.
Well, wow, 9:00PM, and I might just go to bed soon.....it was definitely a late night last night hehehe.....staying out all night, plus I'm still sore from working out two days ago......I'm in no shape to go anywhere.....unless someone calls and drags me out though .')
à bientôt.

Where'd The Optimism Go?
Moods blow. I seem to be pulling this back-and-forth thing now. Maybe it's because the weather is shit, I don't know. I'm sick of all the raining. The snow storm was fine, I mean, all that snow and cold does suck, but it rains so much in this city, the snow was a decent change of pace. Anyway, it's killed my optimism that I had all last week, or was that two weeks ago? The days are melting together at this point-not surprising, I'm used to a certain class schedule, and that's over with now, so it's all about having an entire day to myself-day after day.
Not sure when I'll be heading to the Valley for Christmas.....but it'll definitely be as late as possible. I just made plans for an old-school barn party on the 23rd, so most likely that'll be the day I go. I have little-to-no desire to go home, not sure why, but I just don't. My mom always said one day I'd probably never show up for Christmas, and I always said "yeah right. as if"...but here we are, very close to that occurring. I think she meant it though as a "you'll meet someone and go spend Christmas with her family" thing, or a " you'll end up with kids, and I'll have to come visit you" thing...That's pretty far off however, the only way I'd be having kids is if a sperm donor bank opened up in HFX and they paid good hahaha.
Speaking of, I talked to Melissa last night about her Christmas party this coming Friday, and I totally forgot she gave those invited the "plus 1" option. It's funny, everyone I know in HFX is probably already invited hahaha.....oh well.....last year I used it on Nick and Sophie (I know, +2, but I stick it to the rules). I'm very used to being single, so showing up on my own is no skin off my back. I'm psyched about getting dressed up personally. I'm not much of a fashionable guy by any stretch of the imagination, but I can look pretty damn good when I want to I think, especially now, since I cleaned out my closet recently and found I had quite the collection of GQ wear. I will be a sexy bitch this Friday night and in the Christmas spirit-brought on by drinking the spirits, or beer, or whatever is under the sink.....
Well, time to cut this short, it's now 8PM, and since we are not practicing tonight, I get to watch all the awesome Sunday night cartoons....which is good, since this is the only time I actually care to watch TV. I know, a brand new big TV with digital cable, and I couldn't care less really.....I'll even watch everything tonight in my room on my crappy old TV mom gave me, you know, the one that's almost as old as me?
Anyway, I'm out.
EDIT: 9:54PM I've meant to mention this before, but I always forget to, since I have no idea how many people come here (my blogspot homepage has forever said 32 views), leave a comment or something. I keep hearing from time to time from individuals that they read this, but now I'm curious.....hmmm.....on second thought, do I really want to know? Dammit, now I'm conflicted.....

*******************************
Tired. Two days of drinking and smoking and staying out all/up all night have done me in. Some of those with me were a little worse off though hahaha.....we all made it out OK, so no harm, no foul.
So yeah, it snowed like a bastard last night. Losing the power when you have roughly 20 people at your place at who knows when in the morning is definitely interesting. Like I said though, that's how the pioneers ordered out for garlic fingers, or rolled joints hahaha. You all missed a hell of a show tonight though, the weight of the snow made the lines in front of the building give off a pretty good lightening show. Thankfully the only ones who lost power that time was across the street (sorry people, but better you then me :P)......So, aside from some Boston visitors lost in a strange dark city, and some minor car mishaps, it was all good as they say.
So, to all those who told me to have some fun, I obliged, now it's all about prepping for my last exam of the semester on Tuesday afternoon. I never got around to studying tonight, but I wanted to, so that counts for something right? No? Whatever man, I say it does. It was a productive night though, I have completely rearranged my room, and I think it's pretty killer. It was almost a no-go, but thankfully Julia saved the day with the world's longest DSL cable......I can now put my computer across the street if I want to haha.
Here's the view from my window after I got up....the date stamp is seriously wrong....unless I was standing in some type of time-portal that put me back to 2002, but allowed to take pics of 2005.....I think I need a good night's sleep haha.
Oh yeah, Gus' Pub? I like it. When I walked in, I thought I had stepped into 1978....the tacky Christmas decorations helped with the retro feel, that, and the fact that the radio station being pumped into the bar wasn't playing anything from after 1988....I honestly could have sat there all night listening to the radio, drinking the VERY cheap beer, with all the Xmas lights blinking, and the snow driving past the window. It was a cool atmosphere I guess is what I'm getting at.
Well, bonne niut? ou à bientôt? not sure if I'll be heading to bed soon or not. (Incidentally, I feel this strong urge to learn french, for real, not just half-assed like I know it now-that's probably a good thing, God knows it'll help for work opportunities). Lates.
P.S. I'm thinking of adding a "currently listening to" type thing....if I remember that is hahaha.....let's start...right now, I am listening to The Cure-"Love Song". That was fun......

Christ I'm Bored
AHHHHH So friggin bored. This is brutal. After all the crap last week, and the three hour probability/calculus exam today, I am finally free (more or less), but now find myself with nothing to do. I've been in my room now since I got home, staring at the cpu, picking up the bass occasionally, or making some tea. This is fucking pathetic. Weird, I had all this energy last week, even amongst all the stuff I had to do. I mean, I was flirting with strange girls, I never do that. Odd, now here I am, wasting a perfectly good night. Thankfully I've been told I am going out tomorrow night, as well I've also been informed by the Freddy girls that I will be going out and having fun after the show on Friday, but we'll see about that. I have to make it through that show first. I have been told by numerous people in the past week or so to get out and have fun. I guess I must come across as some type of no-fun-having shut-in. (Holy Hyphen City!)
I think I'm being called out on that post I made on my space blog about getting a life, or whatever the hell it was I put there. That was the gist of it I believe. Something about being more selfish was it? Definitely something I could use, if only for a night, hahaha. I'm too damn nice for my own good, and believe me, in the short-run anyway, that nice guys finish last. The long-run is most likely a different story, since most of the "bad" guys who kept finishing first get themselves killed, or in jail, or whatever the hell happens when they refuse to grow up.
I've done some "bad" things in the past, but I grew up in the past few years. I think I might be able to tap that old Lee hehe that looks so bad hahaha. Gonna tap that huh? Anyway, I'm being silly. You get the point. I keep swinging from one extreme to the other. Mature and responsible and very single (now), or the alcohol consuming, casual sex having (although that was only once, complicated, not explaining), speeding in cars, playing in a band, and wasting his money on, well, anything, it was all wasted in some form. Hahaha.....that last sentence is so funny to read, anyone who has only met me in the past few years would be shocked. It wasn't that bad, ask anyone who was around for it. That sentence makes it sound worse than it was. My point was that I was slightly different then, and that wasn't all that long ago....not sure what happened.
I keep swinging from one extreme to the other all right. Even here on this blog you can see it. All those posts about marriage form last month? Well, the more time passes, the more I find those a little out there. This is funny, I just had a conversation last week with someone about that, and how I have no idea what I really want. So yeah, with that mind, never take anything on here as absolute, I only sound convincingly absolute in my arguments because I've been taught to after years of university. Trust me, I'm as human and insecure as the rest of you.
Alright, time to find something to do already. I'm out. Au revoir.
EDIT 11:31PM
Okay, I feel I need to clarify that "casual" remark. It was more like "friends with benefits" than casual.....kinda.....I'm going to shut up now. (:-#)

The "Quick And Dirty Personality Test"
| INTP - the Architect Your Type is 0% Extroverted, 12% Observant, 68% Logical and 12% Structured |
| You are more introverted than extroverted. You are more intuitive than observant, you are more thinking based than feeling based, and you prefer to go with the flow rather than have a routine. The single word to describe your type is the Architect, which belongs to the larger group of rationals. You wish to sculpt the world around you. Others often find you arrogant, yet you have no desire to direct others, only to inform them. You must know the structure of things, and have a voracious appetite for knowledge. You are very rational in everything you do, and probably consider yourself smarter than most. As a romantic partner, you can be playful with great energy to get things started, but not quite as good on follow through. You may have a tendency to hurt the more emotional types unintentionally by not sharing your own reactions and feelings as you can get swept up in your own ideas and projects. You want to be appreciated for your ability to respond quickly and to fix problems creatively. You need plenty of time to yourself - therefore your parnter must respect your need for independence and originality.

Here I Am
Hang on a minute will ya....I'm going to make some tea.
There we go....that took me 6 minutes, but I bet it seemed like no time at all to you huh?
Figured I'd come on and post, I got sick of crazy-ass 3-D graphs, and partial derivatives, and what have you. I'm not sure if I'll make it out of this exam Wednesday alive-tell my mom, that if I don't make it, I died cursing how she talked me into going to university. Thankfully the Computer Systems exam next Tuesday should be a bit more civil towards me. This Management Science hated my guts-I'm serious, everytime I think about it, I feel like I've gotten a shot to the pills. Not happy, and the thought of having to do it over again? Ugh. I may, even if I pass it, take it over again, just so I can (A) get a better mark, and (B) get a better UNDERSTANDING of it all. I know, I'm nuts, taking a class again even if I pass it. I am insane. Whatever, it just means that next semester I get to have one math course I'm already familiar with, and four economics courses that are more geared towards social theory, which I will admit, I kick ass at :). Not taking the intermediate micro & macro theory courses suits me just fine really, I'd much rather do them over the summer one at a time, or part-time while I work next year. So, since no one reading this knows what the frig I am talking about (aside from random eco majors coming here by complete chance), I'll knock it off. Basically, my point is there are two types of economics courses, (A) the social theory, and (B) the econometric. I'm good at the former, and crap at the latter.
Well, back to it...a bientot.

I may, even if I pass it, take it over again, just so I can (A) get a better mark, and (B) get a better UNDERSTANDING of it all. I know, I'm nuts, taking a class again even if I pass it. I am insane. Whatever, it just means that next semester I get to have one math course I'm already familiar with, and four economics courses that are more geared towards social theory, which I will admit, I kick ass at :). Not taking the intermediate micro & macro theory courses suits me just fine really, I'd much rather do them over the summer one at a time, or part-time while I work next year. So, since no one reading this knows what the frig I am talking about (aside from random eco majors coming here by complete chance), I'll knock it off. Basically, my point is there are two types of economics courses, (A) the social theory, and (B) the econometric. I'm good at the former, and crap at the latter.
Well, back to it...a bientot.

I Should Be Going To Bed, Why Am I Posting?...Damn Addiction....
It's late, I'm tired, my MSN just turned itself off again, haha realtime updates. Ummm...I know I was going to say something, but I can't remember...Oh wait, don't think I was actually. :P Just here out of habit I think. Pretty tame Saturday night, just sat up all night drinking beer with Dennis, before that, made wayyyyy too much chinese food for myself. It's funny, I can't give it away, because everything has meat in it, and no one else here eats meat.
What else....oh yeah, duh, I'm at the grocery store, in the meat department, and an old woman starts talking to me about the price of food, and how her diabetes keeps her from eating what she wants to....just some idle odd conversation with strangers that sometimes happens....but the part that got me, was that she hit me lightly on the arm at one point to make some kind of emphasis....anyway....that has happened to me so much, always the same type of hit, the same place on my left arm.....the fact that it keeps happening, and now with strange older women....freaked me out. I think there is a magnet in there that screams hit me-but only females can pick it up. Anyway, that was weird....if it happens again I'll be really freaked out hahaha.....OK, tired, need sleep....can't see straight (not because I'm drunk, thank you)
Bonne nuit.

Hard To Explain
Well, I am beat. Soooo tired, have been all day. Woke up to a flood in the bathroom, when I was already pissed about having to be up, thanks in part to yesterday's power outage. The hot water tank upstairs starting leaking, or more likely burst from the looks of the water that was continuously pouring in through the fan vent. The annoying fact, was no that it happened, but I guess the upstairs neighbours thought that calling it in when they discovered it was a bad idea. I don't know the specifics, since I had gone to school in the usual Halifax downpour.
Anyway, here it is, I'm beat, but not enough to sleep yet I think. Just had Sophie do some facial recognition thingy on the 'net, that used a pic of me to see what celebrity I looked like. The top one being Van Damme, so I'll take it hahaha.
Feeling optimistic, and I'm not really sure why to be honest with you. Just a feeling. It's sort of weird, just for no reason, but there it is. My psychic abilities have left me for the moment, so I'm not even sure what the optimism is even in reference to. Weird I tells ya. Go figure.
What else is new? Since yesterday? I know, I use this thing too much, but it is my journal I guess. Of course a REAL journal that no one else sees would probably be more enlightening to myself I imagine. Ah screw it, whatever. This is it, no diaries or anything like that in this room. At least with electronic journals, I can easily erase them. I really like that option.
So, unless anyone reading this has anything to do tomorrow, my big weekend plans involve making Chinese food, lots of it. Those in the know, are aware of Steve's Chinese night, so every once in a while I do the same myself. Hmmmm....seemed like I was offering in that first part, HA, I was actually making fun of my pathetic Saturday plans.....I am lame, don't try to tell me I'm not.
Alright, five paragraphs, time to beat it out of here. (eww) 'Night.
EDIT: This is slightly depressing....ouch! This is the "Why Are You Single Test"

| Male Best Friend You scored 21 despair, 25 relationship potential, 100 feelings, and 100 patience |
| You're always there, you're nice, you're the shoulder to cry on, you get along just fine, why won't she/he date you? you're the "male best friend" DragonflyBlade21: A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you're a great guy, but I don't like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we're not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we're going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn't work out, we'll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired. |

So Tired, But Not Sleepy....Ahhhhh....
Well, as it says, can't sleep-not that I'm having insomnia again, I'm just physically exhausted, but mentally wide-awake.....it's a weird feeling. Anyway, figured I'd post, maybe I'll get sleepy from boring typing, and what the hell, I'll get that last post pushed down so it doesn't interrupt the flow of this thing....can't stand it it when those things are too wide. I know nothing about HTML either, so no, I'm not fixing it that way.
Ahhh...what's in the news today? Well, this week has sucked...workload-wise I mean. I wrote not only a good Human Resources exam, but I feel really great about the job I did on the essay for that class as well. My Management Science class is sucking however-I'm actually looking into a scenario where I don't pass it, and have to take it again next semester. And no, it's not that I didn't study, I just had a hard time picking up the fundamentals to all the math involved, and it quickly got away from me. That's just a fact I am comfortable with, I can't be a genius at everything, as much as I want to be hahaha. Basically it wasn't even that I couldn't pick up the material, it's just that it took me a much longer time to grasp the concepts than the class would allow. So, nuts to all that. I'm still looking to nail the final, and make it through-but I have a back-up contingency , if so needed.
The presentation tonight went well. I hate doing the things-I know, I play AND sing in a band, what the hell?-I just really am uncomfortable with the whole public speaking deal. Anyway, the format was a little different than we anticipated, and it turned out 99% of the rest of the class wasn't even present when we presented. Oh, yeah, the Computer Info. Systems assignment-I would have had the thing done and handed in tonight, but just as I'm starting to plow through it at 3 this afternoon, out goes the power. NSP actually had three trucks and a large crew turn off the power to a small section of Allan St, us included, and keep it off until 8. Hmmm.....that last sentence makes it sound like they did it just for something to do, hahahaha. I was pissed though, I waited until late to see if it would come back on-no dice. I go to class, present, walk home-still off. Was not happy. Long story....well, that wasn't short, d'accord, long story long-I just finished it, and I still need to get up and print it off at SMU and hand it in. Bah.
I wonder, can I fall asleep now? That would be nice....I'll try......bonne nuit.
