jon "i think i'll wait until i get a job before i can actually spend money for it"
gary "i wonder how much it is? lets go check"
jon "sees hmv closing, lets try seeing whats open outside, hey best buys open"
gary buys cd, then lets me hold it while he puts on his coat...
...
...
...
the end
i end up with the cd somehow, "birthday present he calls it" "lies"
ok so in other news, gary has been added to the list of people i have to get back
- the linkin park cd was only 13.99 and its brand new, and i think all the cds were all around that price range... which is a huge drop from the typical $25-30 it would have cost last year or the year before... the music industry is going down the drain
- lyrics make much more sense when you actually see the written version rather than trying to listen to a song and incorrectly making up what you think is the lyrics which doesnt really make any sense when you actually try to understand it
- landed my empire theatre job... minimum wage!, already start and have 4 shifts for a total of 20 hours, not exactly an ideal schedule they gave me but at least theres no weekends, *pirates weekend as they call it so no training for me until after its all over, i get to do easy jobs like the floor which i guess means clean up whatever i want? they really didnt give me a very good description of it. ok they gave us alot to read on employee expectations so no random favors guys, i really dont want to get fired that soon... i can bring like myself and oen guest to the movies though
- alot of mac people getting the empire theatre job, 6/8 people that were hired are in various grades in mac, maybe they really like the school or something?
- apparently we have another round of tests and then exams coming up? i'm doing practically nothign but its still alot of stuff to do nothing for, semestered schools really "cant touch this", probably 5 exams to do by the end of the year? combined with slacking doesnt help
- 9 dragons? peter and company are obsessed with this mmorpg game yet i have no time to play it so lalala
- starcraft 2 looks nice, but by the time it comes out... it may be a long time from now, dragoons and dark templar i dont even know what they are now, dragoons seem annoying to look at... moving gun turrents.

Long weekend
Ok, so... whilst i wait for jon's post, i'll post.
Friday... nothing big really happened. Had my normal fellowship at night. However... the bus ride to church was a bit interesting. I have to take two buses to get to church on fridays so when i took the sheppard bus, there was this cute lil' kid who was with his mom. He wanted to sit so badly but there were no seats and i felt bad for him but what can I do... i was standing too with my guitar. So, after that I transfered onto the warden bus. There were seats there. I sat near the door as i always hope to do if not stand so i can get out easier without having to push through people. The kid and his mother was there too, but this time the kid runs straight to the back with his mom trying to catc him. The kid finds the one empty seat at the back of the bus where that whole back row were black/brown people. So imagine the back row of the bus filled completely with dark skinned adults and one seat near the middle of that crowd with a small chinese kid there just looking at everyone so ever innocently. The black guy beside him was just looking at him for like 10 seconds. I couldn't help but smile coz that was one funny situation. The bus started moving so his mom just sat down near him but not with him.
So, Saturday... i wanted to go to the zoo, but when i got there, there was a huuuuuuuuuuge line-up so i decided not to go. Went back home, picked up my mom and i went shopping for a suit at Markville Mall or shopping centre. Walked around there and actually bought a suit coz it was the last day my parents would be able to go with me to buy me a suit before my prom. So now I have a suit hanging at the back of my door... now i just have to worry about the colour of my shirt and tie and also need to look for shoes for the prom. After, Jon and I went to Eaton Centre coz I wanted to buy shorts and basically a relatively new wardrobe. That didn't really happen... but i did manage to buy the Linkin Park CD... which Jon should talk about if not I'll talk about it at a later date. The other details i'll leave to jon coz it affects him more and it's more funnier from his perspective.
Sunday... full day of travel from one church to the next, then to work, was so tired i just slept on the couch.
Today, didn't do much except go shopping! Went to Vaughan Mills with my parents while my sister was at work. My dad bought new sunglasses for driving, my mom bought clothes coz they were on sale, and so did I! bought 2 new shirts, 1 new sweater/jacket/whtever, 1 new pair of pants, and 1 new pair of shorts that i plan to exchange for another colour/design coz my dad has something similar to it already. Therefore, i need to go to the eaton centre some day soon but yah, pretty happy about what i bought. Just need to pay back my dad coz i don't want him paying for all my clothes. The way things work right now is my parents pay for what I need, and I pay for what I want. So, my parents pay for my schooling and supplies that go with that unless it's something small like a pencil, then i'll buy it. My dad pays for most of the food stuff, my mom pays for stuff like my orthodontist or if i'm just short of cash.
I need to clean up my room... well mostly just my table... and I have one quiz this wednesday, one essay due next monday, one cumulative assignment due next monday where the cumulative assignment was suppose to take a month+ but i hafta do it in a week now and my essay topic and planning should start very soon or i'm screwed.

Plastic with a black stripe
Well, I finally opened my own bank account and deposited my tax returns. Now its just a matter of controlling myself, seeing how theres a new list of things I have to buy, some more important then others. Now, if only i could get around to a sustaining a source of income. I also got my G2 card in the mail, but this is old news to Jon and Gary....
Currently listening to songs from Linkin Park's new album. All I say for sure is that its different, and the swearing just doesn't work in the rock, though it does in the rap. I dunno, maybe I should be more open, but theres something.... childish with hearing swearing in rock. The music reminds me a lot of Breaking The Habit off the last album, I guess they headed in the same direction with this album. I think this might be the first album I buy.... though I also want to by Justin Timberlake's and Red Hot Chili Pepper's album. Or maybe, each one of us should get one of each? Then I could just rip it to my iPod in all the crystal clear glory.
Of course, with the iPod, I have to get around to installing iTunes seeing how I've finally gotten around to reinstall my entire system. It just runs so much smoother without all the previous garbage and just a single Operating System. It also helps that I'm running the final version of Office 2007 instead of the beta. The problem with the iPod is that its set to only one computer, which means I have to format the iPod and rebuild my playlists, and thats always fun.... right?
Theres one other headache with reinstalling windows..... all those saved passwords for all those websites. I mean, its either my first name or Drakonen... or something else.... I think I'll remember it... eventually....

When one is left bored
It's pretty scary when a working man is relaxing on a day that he's not working and starts to think about life. Most of today was me napping on the couch, preparing myself for work tomorrow. I do have homework, but as procrastinators all do, I'm leaving my homework until the last minute.
So basically this is how my thoughts became to be; I took a nap, decided to go walk around agincourt mall after my nap, bought bread and cinnemon toast crunch! yummy. Didn't have cereal for a while. Came bak home, ate dinner, then watched to episodes of an anime none of you watch (Major). Then I went downstairs and saw my mom and randomly realized how precious life is. It was a totally spontaneous thought and it pretty much scared the heck out of me. One day, we'll all be adults, have our own family, and our parents will not be here. Just as both my mom's and my dad's father is no longer on earth, someday one or both our parents and grandparents won't be here, and we'll be living without those who brought us here. I dunno why that thought came up, but our parents aren't getting any younger. Maybe we ought to start becomming more responsible with our money and our time.
This is really a moment by moment thing, I'll prolly forget this after. Which sucks.
On another note! Lets go to the zoooooooooooooo!!! common!!! Not now... but soon. haha. Before it gets too hot. What perfect weather we're having. Need to take advantage of this. common people!!!

two other posts in a row? thats not possible is it?
just noticed the right sidebar says: lets live our lives to the fullest, unno random thought
today going to watch spiderman, sorry i'll miss the movies guys. apparently spiderman wasnt bad which is a good thing as sometimes sequels dont have much effort put into it but they know people will still watch it. another long movie too 2and a half hours? it reminds me of titanic and how at that time it was a long movie and it was only 2 hours i think? dont remember but i remember being dissapointed at how short it was.
heroes, spread the word, spread the word. its addictive, gary and nimalan you better try to watch it. one friend finished up to episode 20 in three days? with each being 40 mins, 20*40/60 hours long. 3 more episodes left of the season, my mondays are always watching it anyways so no need to put more effort into that.
job hunting, still working on it, may have a possible lead at a far away theatre which could be fun if i get the job.
new linkin park album just came out, sounded great, already finished listening to all of them. I dont know how to describe it, I guess some of their songs went softer while some are even heavier than before. less computer sound effects which loses some of the linkin park feel but makes them easier to compare with other bands. was going to actually go out and by it sometime to support them but turning poor and cds are hard to use, maybe when i get a job which may be a while...

Rejected
No, this post has nothing to do with the title. The title is just there so people get attracted to reading this. Sad? maybe. Funny? for me.
Anyhoo... no, i never finished the book. I think i have some type of ADD or something coz i get easily distracted. I'm aiming for page 500 by the end of wednesday. So basically won't be finishing the book until the next weekend. Which is sad coz the rough copy of my essay about the book is due thursday. Although the teacher is allowing us to work during lunch and/or during the morning/afterschool after the due date... i think. I need a song about lies or life being an act or government keeping information from us to keep in control. The last one should be easier to find, however my song database is not as grand as it used to be. Therefore I need YOUR help. If you have any information, please email me/msn me/comment/call.
Just finished work a few hours ago. Therefore, i'm tired now. It was a pretty slow day today, not many people eating dinner at swiss chalet on a tuesday night. Still remember what I did last tuesday night... time goes by so fast. At least i got to talk to a new girl. Yay... sad...
Not many people are going to my school's prom. They even had to make an announcement today saying "there's not that many tickets being sold, so buy tickets! or else there won't be a prom this year". Maybe i should go... but have to ask if daniel has a date... or else i'd have to get a date to go... don't wanna go there alone with friends who have dates. I'd lose my self-esteem. it would be nice to just go and take pictures of everyone though. All that for $60? dunno...
If i had gotten my G1 on my birthday, i would pwn all. But no, i had to wait for my friends... -shakes fist-. So stop complaining! I should've gotten my G a long time ago. Driving is dangerous though. It may be fun and all... but if you take it too lightly and crash, you ain't kool no more... ur just one of those teenager statistics ruining it for all teens, enforcing the stereotype that teens can't drive well. So while you're driving on the highway, thinking you're all that, think before you drive.
That movie was messed. I'm gonna need a months worth of movies that make sense to heal my insanity. Ali was kool, just like the typical brown guys i used to hang out with at elementary school =P and yes, i too wonder what happened to jon and his wonderful conversation he should've had on monday. i was going to ask him online, but when i remembered he was offline.
I dropped physics... but i'm still going to the classes. "auditing" don't even know what that means but to my comprehension it's basically me sitting in the class, taking notes but not being marked for anything coz i'm really not in that class. I wish i could audit girl's phys ed. haha, jkz. They're too young, it'd b wrong.
So yah, the only thing i'm stressing over at the moment is english. So i shouldn't be sitting around posting. I still need to read naruto and bleach manga... if they're out. I know naruto is... so yah. Post again later.

Finally caught up
So now I can role with the big boys, finally having my g2 when everyone else got it last year and are well on their way to getting their G... when I've probably had the most hours behind the wheel. So now I'm lonely and unable proclaim my rewards as nobody seems to be online, though I could probably better spend this time doing homework. I've even gotten good at driving on the highways, which oddly seems easier and more fun then driving around on city roads. So all I can't help think is that if I had gotten my g1 on my birthday, then 8 months later with an instructor gotten my g2, then another 8 months later, which would be around now, I'd would we carrying my G with me. That kind of thinking just gets you frustrated.
Speaking of frustration, Memento has to be the only movie that I saw and can't believe I understood. Seriously, just go and watch it. Then just sit there after the movie is done and wonder how the hell you understood what had happened, and whether you accept what happened. The cool looking good guy ends up being the hillbilly bad guy and the bad guy ends up being a good guy. Sammy ends up being Lenny or a self image of Lenny upon Lenny and your left wondering why your able to make sense of this. I'd talk about the movie, but it makes my head break, but it still makes so much sense.
So Jon and Gary met Ali, no idea what they think of him, though Ali says that these two are the typical Asian crowd hes used to hanging with, so I think thats a good thing. I'm also stuck wondering how Jon's conversation with Nakita ended up, and whether it was him moving forwards or backwards. I also wonder if Gary ever finished his book, the Magus, as the Wikipedia synopsis seems very, interesting. Yes? No? Maybe? Dunno? Seems to be the question for everything.
