Seein' Red

Dr.Mah,

I dont have much time to write a 'thoughtful' post so I'll make this short and sweeeet. This has been the BEST,yes ladies and gents I said "BEST", march break ever. Maybe because I spent most of the time alone.. or maybe because I got a couple early admissions, but this has been a very stressful, but at the same time relaxing week. All I've been doing was basically... working I guess:

Monday: 11-4
Tuesday: 5-CL(11pm)
Wednesday: 5-CL (11pm)
Thursday: 11-4
Friday: 4-11
Saturday: 5-CL (12am)

Doesn't seem fun, but honeslty it's not too bad. One may wonder why I'm in a rush.. well I want to do some homework BAD.. it's been soo long =(.. and with early admission it actually puts more pressure to keep up your marks which is complete stupid but meh.

(Wicked Felix just sent Seein' Red by Unwritten Law, probably one of the best Punk/non acoustic songs ever, Much Love Cat)

So yea, ummm what has happened this week.. went out for lunch with Wilson.. Shawn and Roberts B-day... and OH.. Happy Belated B-day Ryan ( Yes I know I'm random). Bought a new pair of glasses..which are pretty cheap.. like $164.. so thats wicked..

And yea.. thats it... so I'll end this post two things.. A Question of the Post and a wicked song (Seein Red by Unwritten Law... I can relate to this song pretty well.. and I'm hoping that some people out there can relate as well)

Question of the Post: Can Money Buy Happiness?

[Now to me this is a thinker.. I mean.. would you be happy if you were poor?.. But can Money buy happiness... I mean Money CAN buy things to make you happy.. Can it not?..but you cant buy your friends.. Just trying to keep an open mind all..]

Seein' Red - Unwritten Law

I'm seeing red
don't think you'll have to see my face again
don't have much time for sympathy
cause it never happened to me
you're feeling blue now
i think you bit off more than you could chew
and now it's time to make a choice
and all I wanna hear is your...

So follow, the leader down
and swallow, your pride and drown
when there's no place left to go
maybe that's when you will know

follow, the leader down
and swallow, your pride and drown
when there's no place left to go
maybe that's when you will know

and foolish lies...
oh, cant you see I tried to compromise?
cause what you say ain't always true
and I can see the tears in your eyes
and what you said now...
can't stop the words from running through my head
and what i'd do to get through to you
but you'd only do it again

So follow the leader down
and swallow your pride and drown
when there's no place left to go
maybe that's when you will know

follow the leader down
and swallow your pride and drown
when there's no place left to go
maybe that's when you will know

ohhh-oh yeah

I confess
I don't know what to make from all this mess
dont have much time for sympathy
but it never happened to me
you're feeling down now
I dont know where I'll be when you come around
and now it's time to make a choice
and all I wanna hear is your voice...

I was born at an early age...

This would be a recap of the events of my birthday...

First I was woken up by Amy telling me to meet her at STC a little before 11am..so I went back to sleep for 10 minutes..woke up and said "shit"..and then ran into the shower, scrubbed myself, and then I was off to see her...

I arrived at STC a little before 11, and Amy looked like she'd been waiting for a while...but it s'all good cause I was standing right behind her for...how long?...I dont know...haha...then she turned around and saw me and she's like..."thats just a little scary."

At stc I went to visit my friend Jenn Liao who works at Reitmans, and once again I was standing right behind her for a good portion of time before she realized that I was there...and yea...I havent seen her in a long time...I introduced her to Amy, but she already knew about her...and yea...akward pauses that have accumulated over time and decided to make use of themselves in that particular conversation...Jenn then gave me my present..and Aye thanked her..and then we parted ways....

Amy and I sat on a bench in the mall and I opened the gift...it was a wood figurine...hand-carved...of an Angel...its an inside thing between Jenn and I...I liked it a lot..Thank You Jenn...

After that Amy and I went to find a card for me...yea...haha...she let me pick out my own...I picked a card that has a hunky lookin guy on the front saying "How would you like to see him take it all off.."...and then when u open the card, he removes his toupeé...I died laughing...

Soon after Amy and I decided to see Hitch, mainly because there was nothign else good at Famous Players and I wanted to use my "Free Admission on Your Birthday" coupon...hehe...it was a funny movie...Id recommend it to anybody, especially guys who have trouble with the fairer sex...bring a note pad...

After the movie, we just chilled in my car until Butters decided to call me and ask me to bring him to Kelsey's where we would be dining...so I picked him up after 20 minutes, cause well, he said 15 minutes, so I said 20, and we continued like that for a good 5 minutes...so I decided on 20 after he hung up on me...

Butters and I did a duet to Taking Back Sunday - Cute without the E (Cut from the Team)...Amy was embarrassed...

At Kelsey's...gooooooood times.....they made me open my gifts first....I got the Dancing Cane, the illusion that I had wanted...I had went to the magic shop on friday, and Jeff, the owner, said that a guy came in a took the last one...and then my dad went in a day later and Jeff told him that they were sold out...what I didnt know..was that the guy was Felix and Ben and them....and that Jeff told my dad that my friends got it for me and not to say anything to me....everybody was in on it..haha...thanks all..the illusion is SOOOOO fun to do....on top of that...Felix handed me a friggin monstrosity of a gift...it had so much newspaper on it I thought Felix wrapped me a hobo...(sry...tasteless humour)...ANYWAY...the thing was HEAVY...so I unwrapped it, eventually, and ooooooh..myyyyyyy...gooooooood...60 decks of cards...they werent bicycle, but by the same company, so they are the same quality...and...oooohhh myyyyyy goood...never have to buy another deck again....for....3 months..haha...then Robert opened his gifts and he gots himself a HummerH3...beautiful lookin automobile...I said automobile because what do u really call a Hummer...its like a cross between a tank and an SUV...so lets just call it death on wheels...dinner was grrrrrreat...practically everybody ordered the rib and wing combo...their "suicide" wings were lame...false advertising...

After dinner, we all parted ways, and I went to drop Amy home...I hate watching her leave...but I know she'll always come back, so that gives me some comfort...

Thanks to (in no particular order):

Amy (For always being there for me, and always putting up with me)
Nick (Your lame humour so closely resemble mine)
Butters (We'll come to visit you in Western, dont you worry about that)
Jamil (Your stubborn attitude defines you, dont change)
Nis (Ill give you back your nosey on YOUR birthday)
Rob (Cause its your birthday too man...Happy Birthday)
Felix (For being thoughtful and always keepin it cool)
Marlon (For being far more fair than black...its a compliment)
Jo (For making that sandwich)
Krishna (For the collage, which really it the spot)
Ben (For callin me Sensei, and being devoted to the art)
Tyler (who couldnt make it to the dinner) (For being devoted to the art)
Katie (who couldnt make it to the dinner cause of her insecure boyfriend)
Jenn (who couldnt make it to the dinner cause of some youth group thingamabobber)
Everyone who chipped in for my wonderful wonderful presents
Anybody I forgot (Hey Im only human, I forget things)

I love you all...

Cheers,

Dont turn my blog into a war zone...

I thought I made myself appallingly clear last time, that my blog is not your personal battlefield...

You're all a little too old to be name-calling, and picking fights with one another, and taking things the wrong way...a little understanding goes a long way...

Stop spamming my blog with your hate comments...

And to quote my friend David Reynoldson, in his yearbook comment...

"Highschool years are the best years of your life. That couldnt be more wrong."

Cheers,

Shit, Stop talking

Dr.Mah,

It has occured to me that Blog fighting is at it's high... and though I started this shizzle..(well, had part of it). I strongly feel that it's time to start.. I mean GAH.. it's the last year we're going to see each other again. And as much as we want to see each other after this year.. the chances are slim. I'll be frank, IF (yes jo, I said 'IF') I make it to Western... I'm not coming back. Not for summer, not for Reading week, not for anything (well maybe Family's B-day or something with Family)

So why do we fight?
Why not leave Highschool in a high note?

I mean most of us came in this jungle of a school as friends, why not leave as friends. Let's all stop being so damn stubborn for once and see the big picture.. These are SUPPOSED to be the best years of our lives.. why not spend it like it is?

Ironic that this is coming from the most stubborn person alive.. but that just shows how stronly I feel about these fights. A couple stupid comments were said.. and people reply with more stupid comments.. and the war goes on. Then someone makes a post about that person.. and that person replies with their post.. They become rude to each other... start talking 'smack' behind their backs.. I mean wtf all.. we're like fucking 17,18 year olds. Lets act like that for once. These schoolyard fights are stupid.. and if you TRUELY feel really strong about something.. then tell them personally, without insulthing them? And if you dont like what their saying them tell them at your own personal time.. Dont get youre friends involved.. because none of you need back up.

All people do is talk shit.. they dont even act on the things they say. I remember when I wrote my 'Ex Bestfriends' song, this one guy said he'd beat the shit out of me.. so where is now? I dont support Violence or shit like that.. but seriously.. if you're goign to talk shit and all that crap, be prepared to defend your agruments by actually fighting the person.. else dont waste my time nor anyone else's time for that matter.

Like that 'yukino' or whatever person.. if you're gonna talk crap about someone, might as well do it with honor and leave a REAL name... I mean.. else what's the point?

So I'll leave you all with this..It takes a man to fight...but it takes a bigger man to stop the fight...

[What an Ironic blog..]
{This song reminds me of our last year alot.. I suggest people to get it.. it's really awesome =)}

[Work - JEW]
If you only once would let me
Only just one time
Then be happy with the consequence
With whatever's gonna happen tonight
Don't think we're not serious
When's it ever not
The love we make is give and it's take
I'm game to play along

All I can say
I shouldn't say
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place
While we still have time

oh oh, oh oh oh
oh oh, oh oh oh

All the best DJs are saving
Their slowest song for last
When the dance is through
Its me and you
Come on would it really be so bad
The things we think might be the same
But I won't fight for more
Its just not me to wear it on my sleeve
Count on that for sure

All I can say
I shouldn't say
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place
While we still have time
You want to take a ride?
Get out of this place
While we still have time
Yeah - We still have time

oh oh (ahhhhhhhh)
oh oh (ahhhhhhhh)
oh oh (ahhhhhhhh)
oh oh (ahhhhhhhh)

Can't say I was never wrong
But some blame rests on you
Work and play they're never okay
To mix the way we do

All I can say
I shouldn't say
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place
While we still have time
You want to take a ride?
Get out of this place
While we still have time
We still have time

oh oh, oh oh oh
oh oh, oh
