aAlmost caught up in school. Wrote an 800 word essay on The Springer Solution to World Poverty.
The peice is impressive, and does a good job moving the reader in the direction intended. It is NOT however, a viable solution to world poverty. I was up real late on that one. Saw my prof in the cafeteria, he said that we would talk when I had time. He wants to discuss my english history, i guess. I got a D in english last year. One assignment I didnt hand in. A large assignment admittedly, worth 20 percent of my mark. I had aced my TLM though, and all of my other work was in the 75-80 range. I figured that I could take the hit, large as it was, and walk into the exam with a 60, 50 at lowest, and write an exam worth 15% of my final grade. I wrote on why the concept of prohibition WORKS. I met with my teacher later, and recieved, not for the first time, the wasted potential speech. This time the speech fell on ears that had put forth honest effort. He told me that he enjoyed my final paper on why prohibition works much more than my paper on why prohibition DOESNT work, which I am infinitely more proud of. I received a D in the class, and as a result, am on academic probation.

I am required to once again take english. I am again subject to the interpretation on a professional level. The english system at Canadore has a numeric grading system, with a scale of 5. 5.0 is considered a perfect paper. On SOMETHING... I had been led to believe it was my previous year's final exam, but it could now be my placement test score, I scored a 4.5. I guess thats good, it seems I am conratulated more often by those in the know, like some weird conspiracy.

I feel I must give due credit to Somethingawful.com. The quality of the content yielded on this website is always high, the storeies always well written, loaded with satire. A number of permanent links on my page lead here in someway, and I have posted others in the past. To register an account with the somethingawful forums, you have to pay a one time fee of 10 dollars, american funds. Give it a viewing anyway.. i think they may be hax0rs!

Huge midterm on monday. Talked to a few people, and the general concensus is that it's hard. Damn hard. Then an essay due Tuesday, on this.
Superbowl is on Sunday, Raiders vs Bucanneers. Never really been a football fan. I had no exposure to it when I was younger, my parents weren't really into it, and I didnt start to learn the rules to the game until late gradeschool. At my public school, as anywhere else, recess was a big deal. We used to play highly organized games of Redass, where a group of guys would stand 10 or 20 feet from a brick wall, and throw a tennis ball at it. The tennis ball would richochet back, and you were supposed to catch it. If you dropped it, or it touched you, you got a letter. I think this was how it worked. Once a certain number of letters was reached, you had to stand with your hands against the wall, and the other players lined up, taking turns throwing the tennis ball at your ass. This was particularly brutal on wet days, a wet tennis ball can be a deadly weapon. An end was put to this in grade 5, and when the snow came, we turned our attentions to the snowhills. On the largest, most impressive snowhill was the stage for massive games of king of the hill. You simply have to get to the top of the hill, and stay there. Other players try to drag you down, and you push them away. Violent to no end, and greatly fun. King of the hill was a yearly pasttime, and probably dates back to the beginnings of school. You ever notice how the little kids are let out for recess first in the winter? King of the hill lasts only so long though, and snowbanks are not always at their massivest. This is where football came in. We started to play a game of football in the snow, full body contact. Late hits were encouraged, ozzie rules. Playing with one of those plastic highschool footballs was pretty tough in the cold. Wearing wintergloves made it harder still. Fights would start, kids were injured all the time. It was great fun. When one kid had his arm broken by another, teachers put a stop to "tackle football'. Tackle football was banned forever. Didnt play football for anytime again until highschool gym class, grade 11. Even then, it was only for a week. Still had no idea of the rules of football, other then "run around and try to get the ball" and "touch the guy that has the ball" No idea. When I see football on tv, its full contact, theres a line of players infront of the quarterback, and a whole slew of special positions. There are two teams, one for offense, another for defense. Plays are called by the coach, and are given special names. I still dont get it.

Uh oh... just got a hit from someone lookin fer the curbman through google.
Someone fron Barrie, I thinks. Why does this worry me? Cause my family knows nothing about my misadventurous website.
Its not that im not proud of it, or that they wouldnt like it... but sometimes my content (albeit stolen) is less then family friendly.
Having my family find this would change things for me. I would think three times before i posted something. Not nessecarily a good thing.
I like being able to post exactly what im thinking, without regard for who is going to read. For example... I dont think my Grandma would be overly
impressed with my content. Yeah... my Grandma is technically inclined... but I dont think she would enjoy seeing the internet in such a raw form.
I love the fact that others are reading what I write, but its probably only a matter of time before my family sees this.
Makin this work has been lots of hard work on my part, as well as lots of stolen content from others. If any family IS reading this... then id rather never know.
I kinda like things the way they are, you know?

Sits ups, sit ups and more sit ups. So many that Im gettin bored. And ripped. Ive always taken quite well to exercise, I see results quickly, though I often hit my plateau fairly quick too. Its just those bottom two little bumps that are hard to get. Not a fan of doin leg lifts at the gym... makes me feel like martha stewart or somethin. Oh well... ill get that six pack. Too bad you cant just pay for it tho. Im also liftin 115 on the bench now. Thats not lots... but its only been a week. I was so outta shape when i got back into it that i could lift 80. Workin out subscribes to that universal inertia rule tho... once you get started, its much easier to keep goin. You even start to like that burnin feeling that you get. Cuttin out that case and a half of beer a week was prolly a good idea too. Havnt done that since the first week of December.

More and more visitors everyday... just to read my retarded rantings. Or maybe to get the few links that I provide. The smart ones click under "Whats playing" and experience a revolution in music. Clicking anything under "whats playing" will open your winamp, (you DO have winamp, dont you?) and start to play music, commercial free for the most part, usually hand picked, and usually quite good. Ive tried to pick some of the better ones for you. Big fan of the first two on the list, but theres lots for everyone.
No dance music to speak of... if that concerns you, then feel welcome to complain in the comments section. I doubt any of you are concerned.

The school microwave is the same as the one i have at home. The anti lazy microwave. I sometimes have to wait to use the one at school tho, where as here, i have free reign. Thought you might like to know.

Ever heard of Classmates.com? You know... that peice of shit service that tracks all of the people you went to highschool with?
Welll....... this guy was caught dealin drugs by boastin on a service just like it. Yet another reason to hate services like this. Like the massive amount of penis mail in yer hotmail box aint enough ;)

5 Gigs on a credit card? Uh oh... looks like I may be right about shit gettin all fucked up after all...

Heres a neat little flash movie for you to sleep through. Wherever i stole this link... Metafilter i think... was all about this little explanation of space oddessy: 2001... personally i found it kinda boring. I was pissed that i had to wait so long between the text. Nice flash tho. I sure hope that some interesting internet shit starts surfacing again... i think im losin my touch.

My microwave beeps periodically when i dont remove what i have microwaved. The anti-lazy microwave.

Dr. Phil is great. "Tuhday will be a changing day in yawr laugh."

Not having a Tv has forced me to watch soaps. Those people need jobs. Interesting lives tho....

Posted a whole pile of new streams under "Whats playing" Hopefully these will stay up forever, and ill not have to dig into the html for a while. Yeah right.

Havin steak and eggs for dinner.

Microwave still beepin.

Startin to see two little abs at the top o my blob of a stomach. Yay!

I have eaten so little fruit in my life that i should probably have rickets.

Gonna make a bio page for all them random visitors i be gettin. Fun fun fun. Just need some decent pics. I am terribly un photogenic.
On a cheerier note, I have been rather lazy in my posting.... and I have a bunch more stuff to show you. Also have a whole whack of upkeep to do on this site.
Id like to get to the point where I can just post without worrying about how much more work I have to do. It honestly makes me feel bad when i neglect my little site.
I put a tracker on the page, and learned that Im gettin more hits then I had thought. The blogger front page has sent some my way, and Ive even had hits from search engines. (Sorry again Willy... totally unintentional)

Its colder than a bastard here in Northbay... the brass monkey lost his balls days ago. Its a hurty cold. Thats the only way to describe it. Its so cold that it hurts after 30 seconds outside. Im gonna continue to hermitize, i think. Least till the weekend. Poor Neil has the Norwalk I heard, and its not a pleasant experience. I totally dont need that right now. I have a midterm on monday, and a whole shitpile of work to do to catch up in school. Oh well. Que sara sara. Ill be allright.

Heres one left over from christmas. Totally awesome. I love mass practical jokes... or whatever this is.

Remember in highschool when you liked yer best friend's girlfriend? Remember what you did? Prolly nothing. Not this kid. Sure hope she was worth it man..

Yet another reason to NOT live in the states, and yet another reason to hate the Police... specially police in the states.
Fundamental rule of technology. If it can be made? It can be broken. Hug yer favorite hacker today... this kid just did you a huge favor.

If you are driving 100 pounds of weed around in your car? Dont smoke so much that you cant stay awake. Pitiful.

The most hacked site on the net? the RIAAgets hacked at least once a month. Great.. hug that hacker again. Then wash yourself, prolly.

Is Pete Townsend a pedophile? Who? hehe

Handy little drunk sign language manual, to acheieve more by saying less.

That enough? I have more... i have so much more. Scott found the matrix, and I will start stealing matrix links soon... also gonna try to get a pair of immortality rings. More on that later ;)
I wrote a whole post about what had happened when I went home. Then I deleted it. Then I wrote another. Then deleted it.
My dad passed away on Tuesday. The service was lovely, and I, as well as my family, are doin fine. Thats pretty much the no tears, no pain version.
I have a strong family, and I hope it only gets stronger. I also have a strong family of friends, tho I didnt feel the need to inform everyone what had happened at that time. Better to grieve on my own, i think. Thanks to everyone that has reached out to me, and offered condolences. I think the only thing harder than losing a parent, is talking to someone that has lost a parent. Thank you to everyone.

Last nite my Mom called.We chatted about happenings from home, about babies and computers, and stroke patients.
Last nite my dad had a stroke in his sleep.
I just called my Mom with the bus information, and she got me to tell him I love him over the phone. He cant talk, hes just making noises.
My Mom asked me to bring my suit home.
I have a feeling that my Dad is gone. I talked to him just hours ago on the phone. He hadnt been fishing in a while, but he had taken home two cornish hens and a turkey from his last shoot. We chatted about how cold the weather was, and how i was finding school harder. He reminded me that for months he woke up at 6 in a place called geralton, and walked to the bustop.That was it, and we said our goodbyes, and hung up.
Goin home to say goodbye to my dad.

I will now unload all of the bookmarks upon thee that have been clogging up my browser of late.

In other Homeless news, never invite the homeless for Christmas dinner.
Jenn gave me my very own copy of "Bumfights" today, watched it for the second time, and enjoyed if far less. Bumfights is the next level of jackass, with amateur camera capturing real life circumstances, no matter how pre planned they may be. The video is set in a city outside of Las Vegas, where gambling is legal and drugs are rampant. Homeless litter the streets. People will do anything for their fix, and when Rufus was offered a nickel, a star was born. He was willing to give the filmmakers whatever they wanted, in exchange for what he wanted. In exchange for beer, donuts, drugs and sex, Rufus preforms dangerous stunts, often getting hurt in the process. Rufus tatoos "Bumfights" on his forehead. Rufus fights other bums. The video is split up into clips of street fights. Real fights with people getting pummeled, big guys vs little guys, martial arts guys versus normal guys (these are particularly brutal) and one scene where two girls fight briefly.

Also in the film is the "Bumhunter" who captures the sleeping homeless with electrical ties and ductape, wrestling them into submission. He does this the whole time sayin,, "its allroight mayte, im nawt gonna hurt ya, im not gonna gurt ya!" While i have to admit that i laughed the first time i saw this, these segments offer a look into the world of the helplessly addicted. The sheer look of terror in their eyes as they try to escape capture speaks for itself. One man goes through with the ritual semi ritual, and doesnt fight back, but also doesnt wake any of the other sleeping homeless, some as close as maybe ten feet away. He starts to yell at one point, but doesnt persue. Another has ductape wrapped around his head and starts to freak out, clearly suffocating to some degree.

The makers of the film are now in prison. Though the film does offer a view into human nature, one of addiction, mental ilness and violence, it is also a documentary of puppet mastery, using drugs to get what they want to see out of addicts. Rufus the stunt bum and one of his homeless friends are now suing the filmakers. I watched the film, they were both willing participants. A tattoo artist wont give a tatoo to someone who doesnt want to get one. The state has coerced the homeless to persue this case, fitting, as the filmakers coerced the homeless into making a video of them. The video sells for $19.99 on their site, and they claim to have sold 300,000 copies.(ahem...$6 million dollars?) It is also circulating on the kazaa media network. Jenn handed me a burned copy of the movie today. She had never watched it all the way through. The content didnt interest her. Right or wrong, this video exists, and is a marvelous look into human nature, though often in a cruel manner.

Oh yeah... someone posted a comment that read

"yes shi. remember me?" even signed shelby!

I seriously have no idea. I dont know a shelby, and if i did, he or she probably wouldnt post something like "yes shi."
What the hell is that? shi.? Thats the part that scares me the most. What was the author trying to convey? I dont think it is a response to my post,
Its maybe chinese or something.
I dunno. Maybe the comments are censored. Not sure, only posted a few myself, and I dont remember swearing..I guess I should test that.
Still... shelby? If it is someone I dont know, how they found the site is a mystery, word of mouth can travel, but not often far. Im not listed in google unless you look up "Yes Indeedily, Doddily Doo, and even then, not unless you spell it that same way. Word of mouth it is then, unless I have recieved visitors from the Blogger front page
Macs can do that?

Started doin sit ups on Monday, abs still sore today. I am woefully out of shape. The fact that it is freezing ass cold has something to do with the situation, as I dont even like to walk in the cold. Im gonna do sit ups everyday for six weeks. See what happens. I should probably start runnin at the gym too, but I kinda dont like runnin that much. I really should tho.

I added a few things to the linkbar, and kinda organized it a bit. I went through my bookmarks from the holidays, sorted em, and posted a few of em. I came upon a few things I hadnt noticed. My link to plastic didnt go where i indended, and clicking on it sends you to a plastic surgeons website, specializing in boob jobs. Had no idea, honest. Decided to keep it. Lots of em look better before, and Im not a real fan of tit scalping, but its interesting nonetheless.

Strange coincidence, My link to Jayzoo turned out to be a webpage run by a guy I knew in highschool. Didnt, and still dont know him too well, but hes always friendly.
Thing is... I had no idea about that Jayzoo link. I remember stumbling upon it earlier, and linking to it, for what reason I have no idea. Here is a video of the webmaster chugging what looks to be wine, but is maybe hard liquor, and then puking.

I had been to his house at one point with Dave, and I remember watching a home video that he and some of his buddies had made, with a complete story, a soundtrack, and kung fu action. Couldnt find that one, but there are many others here. Jay is a Mac user, but I had no idea he owned a domain name, or even ran a website, for that matter.

Big Plug for his site anyway, its pretty tight, and fulla content.
Back into the Groove

Been back for a few days now, gettin settled into my place. Got a Tv and a Microwave for christmas, and I reaaranged my apartment once again.
