Parting is such sweet sorrow...

Parting is such sweet sorrow,
That we should say goodbye till it be morrow.

This is a blog from wednesday until today....

Wed: On wednesday I went to waterloo with big Simon (T-sang) and Joel (Damean, as he would like to be called)...so I had to wake up at like 5:30 in the morning just to beat the morning traffic...and yea..when I went downstairs and walked out the door, IT WAS COLD!...holy hell...I didnt have my coat because I loaned it to sum girl, who's name I cant pronounce, cause she needed it for some class...but yea...it was cold...so after the long LONG drive to waterloo...I noticed a purple, velvet, coat in the backseat of the car...which..was part of my bro's friend, Gajan's, halloween costume...so...you all know me...I put the coat on...and yea...it was pretty badass...it's safe to say that out of all of the high school students there that day, I was the coolest one...haha...hold on, I gotta shoot my ego down from the sky....

Thurs: Thursday was a relatively good day....I finally got around to going to the magic shop afterschool..and damn it was fun...when I got there..Jeff (the owner of the store) started showing me JJ and Butters some demos..and yea..they were wowed and amazed...so much so that JJ bought a 40-cent magic paddle...that he wanted to learn and show people...Jeff even told him how to use it..the sleight of hand of called the paddle move...and yea...JJ set out to learn it...Jeff also showed us some other stuff..which gave me a few good ideas for my own routines...so aye thank you kind shopkeep...I got new ropes and a magic wand while I was there....the wooden ones with metal tips cost 30 bucks...so I bought the $2 black wand with white tips...haha...Ill work my up the ladder...

Fri: Seriously...stupid Jamil...buys the paddle..learns the paddle move...only to ruin the trick time and time again...so I took it upon myself to take the paddle off of him and show the spectators the trick, THE RIGHT WAY...haha...I even put in patter and everything...like I just made it up on the spot and it got some pretty great reviews...for example...me and JJ were walkin down the halls to the drama room and this girl named Rima was walkin towards us, and I was like..."HEY RIMA, wanna see sumthin cool?"..To JJ: "Gimme the paddle"....haha and then I showed her, and she was pretty stunned...i mean for a 40-cent trick...it sure packs a whollap...BUT..that only because of my performance of it...tricks are just tricks, performance brings a trick alive...

Later that day...I went to Millikan Park with JJ and Nis to set a few things up for Amy's arrival...so yea..Amy came down, and I went to pick her up...and we just chilled until about 7..which was when I was supposed to give her, her surprise...see...it was our 2-month anniversary yesterday, and I wouldnt normally celebrate 2-months, cause who celebrates 1/6 of a year, haha..and lets be honest here everyday I spend with her is a celebration...so yea I wouldnt have normally celebrated 2 months but I didnt get to do anything for our 1-month, so this would make up for it.....

So we arrive at Millikan Park at 7-ish...and I take Amy into the woods...and she asks me if I knew where I was going...I told her..."yea, Im following the light"...so I walk with her to where the light is coming from...and there...on the rocks in the middle of forest..is a series of 20 candles, arranged in the shape of a heart..."Happy 2-months dear...."...she loved it...she even cried..."1 and 1/2 tears" according to her...haha...JJ took a picture and sent it to me...look at my display pic if you wanna see what it looked like...

...aye thank you Jamil and Nis for setting that up for me...truly great friends...

Today: I was supposed to go out to lunch with JJ and Butters to a Jap Buffet called Nagoya..but yea..Bro took the car to go to work, so it looks like those plans are scrapped...I think I'll watch American Beauty and do some magic...Im supposed to go my Uncle's for dinner tonight...that should be....fun...*sigh*...cant even convince myself...

Oh and Butters...its ur turn...its ur time...that said..I know how stubborn you are, so I know that I cant convince you to change ur mind...but hopefully I wont have to, cause sumthing good will come along and if you pass it off like it were nothing, it would be a great loss...

This is one of my all-time favorite songs...

Saves The Day - This Is Not An Exit

Tonight will be the night that we begin to ease the plugs out of the dam.
And we still stand knee deep in the flow, the undertow will grab our heels and won't let go.
And while we hold, our legs quivering, the water rises now to our teeth when we just let go
and sail belly up to the clouds, the rocks scraping our backs.
To breathe in the air will be the only thing that we have
and all the wasted nights and empty moments in our lives are flushed away as we sway with the rhythm of the waves bobbing us up.
Crests fall to troughs as we feel our gills open up
and sail belly up to the clouds, the rocks scraping our backs.
To breathe in the air will be the only thing that we have.
And if the hook set in the bottom of our lungs, we'll rip it out and lick the blood off with our tongues.

Despair could ravage you if you turn your head around to look down the path that's lead you here, cause what can you change?
You're a vessel now floating down the waterways.
You can take your rudder and aim your ship, just don't bother with the things left in your wake.
Just sail belly up to the clouds, the rocks scraping your back.
To breathe in the air will be the only thing that you have
and your love will be warm nights with pockets of moonlight
spotlighting you as you drift, the actor in this play.
You walk across the stage, take a bow, hear the applause,
and as the curtain falls, just know you did it all
the best that you knew how and you can hear them cheering now.
So let a smile out and show your teeth cause you know you lived it well.

Cheers all,
