HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!



What's the fuckin DEAL?? It's been a kick ass last few days. My last real update was sometime early last week. It was actually on Monday. That was a few days ago I'd say. I'll start my story from Tuesday then! HUH!

On Tuesday, I had to get up at 6 AM as usual!! YES! I love that. Well, not really. I went to my ONE class from 8:30 to 9:45 and then headed back home to bed for an hour. I would have grabbed 2 hours of sleep, but THE FUCKING BUS WAS 40 MIN LATE! AAAARGH. I was SO pissed. And it's not like the roads were bad at all. They were FINE all cleared and everything. And it was SO FUCKING COLD out. I almost died. The wind completely froze me. It wasn't fun. I eventually got home and crawled into bed. I slept longer than I should have and ended up being late for work, but I blamed my tardiness on the bus. HA. I was only 10 minutes late anyway, so it really didn't matter. I worked till close, and Danielle came to bring me supper during my shift. It was great. We hung out that night for a while after work, which was nice.

On Wednesday, I got a ride into school from none other than Allison! YES! She saved me a whole hour of sleep. I had a listen to the Kelly Clarkson CD (not my choice) and found that it is really crappy. The single that is out now is pretty catchy, but the rest is pretty crappy/sounds like Evanessence. Those two are really synonymous. Oh are they ever. Anyway, I went to my classes and whatnot, then I headed right into work. It was an alright shift, kinda boring, but what ev's. It happens. Danielle came to visit before heading into CPA for my bro's play. She again brought supper. She's awesome. We hung out again afterward, and it was awesome as usual. Woop.

Thursday, I had class! At 8:30! YES! I almost got stuck in Halifax, but the busses got me home a little late (no excuse needed for that) but safe. I then popped that quick update off, and then headed for Danielle's for the rest of the day/night. It was fun. We napped, had supper, played Mario Party 6 (It has a mic game!), and then played some "Scene It", which is the cool DVD board game that has a lot to do with movies. I won by more than half the board after about 45-60 min, followed by Christophe around an hour and a half into the game, and in a close third was Danielle's mom coming in at 3 hours. I schooled everyone (lucky rolls/SOME easy questions). I just thought I'd bring that up. Ha. After the game, Danielle and I had some eggs and then just hung out for the rest of the night, or at least until we went to bed. It was fun.

Today, we went out for breakfast and then headed into Halifax for a bit, we eventually hit up CDPlus on Barrington, where I bought The Smiths - [ST] album for something like $6.78 new. Yes! Around 2, Danielle had to head back to school, so I went along to visit with Beeler. I talked to him for a bit, and then after some time in the building, I got sketched out and just read for a while Danielle finished up her Film and Video thing. We went for coffee afterwards, which was fun. I accidentally discovered my new weakness, which is Vanilla Bean Lattes. Mmm. Then it was back to Danielle's for a drum session/nap and then off to supper, which was the highlight of the evening.

We went out to celebrate Danielle's brother's (Tophe) birthday, and it was pretty fun. When we got to Montana's, the place was PACKED and we had to wait for about 20 minutes for a table. We eventually got seated, but had a little trouble deciding what we wanted. I ended up getting Ribs and Chicken. It was damn good. After supper, they brought out a big hat and made Tophe wear it while they sang to him. It was quite hilarious. I took a bunch of pictures, so here they are...

Tophe did this...

Danielle's dad LOVES flippin' the bird. It was pretty funny. We then headed to Chapters for some random looking around, and then it was back to Danielle's to hang out for the rest of the night. We watched this thing on MMM about dead rock/pop/hip-hop stars. It was pretty cool. This was complemented with some Prince William Biography/MM Countdown. After all that, I headed home, and now I'm just finishing up blogging. And doing laundry. It was a super kick-ass set of days. What fun.

Tomorrow brings that beer study at the Delta Barrington and then work. And maybe a latte. Maybe. That's it.
GFY,

What's the fuckin DEEEEEAL?

I'm sitting here at my snowed in house and I'm just enjoying the feeling of having NO school today! I love that. Except for right now though. I mean, Danielle is all the way at her house and I'm all the way over here in my basement. This is not the optimal situation.

Speaking of situations not being optimal, the CD store that I work at (CDPlus in Bedford Place Mall) is shutting down for good next Tuesday. I was only informed of this little tidbit of information on the Friday just past. That means I'll be jobless in a little over a week. I've looked into some options, but I'm more than certain that I'll have to go job hunting tomorrow before work and most likely on all day Thursday. I might be working for Jim again, which means higher pay, but I'd rather find another CD store to work at. I just don't want to work at Golden again, at least not before the summer. Oh well, I LOVE getting laid off from my perfect job where I got paid to sit on my ass and do shit all while hanging out with my girlfriend and listening to awesome music. LOVED IT. So if anyone is looking for something expensive (boxed sets) to pick up, I'd be GLAD to give you one of my staff purchases. LOVE to. Just let me know. I have to pick up a bunch of CDs from my hold box too, because I don't want to have to go through the process of ordering them again. Barf. I have to leave a few behind as well, but that's not too big of a deal. They were CDs that I could find anywhere. I tried I suppose. Enough about that though.

I had to shovel this morning, which wasn't TOO bad. I mean, it took a while, but the snow wasn't too heavy or anything. I really need a shower now though. But should I take one? No. Well, the answer is actually yes.

So what happened this weekend? Well, On Friday I didn't end up going out like I thought I was going to. I mis-read a message from Chuck explaining when peeps were going DT for Omars B-day. I ended up watching "Return of The King" (Extended edition) with Mike D. It was CLEEEEEEEEEEEEEAN. Also, it was long. But OH SO CLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAN.

On Saturday, I worked in the morning. It wasn't too bad at all, and I didn't have any bitchy customers to laugh at. Danielle came in to work around 2 which was awesome. I ended up signing up for a market research study on beer for Saturday Morning. They're giving people $40 to watch beer commercials and fill out questionnaires. And it only takes an hour. It combines some of my favorite things: market research and Beer. Woop Woop. At 6, I went out for supper with Sean, Chuck, and Mike D. It was loads of fun. We ate at House Of Mei Mei. It was pretty good food. Chuck ate a lot and almost burst. There was talk of porn, going full circle, many simpsons quotes, and lots of off-colour remarks. It was a blast. We drove back into Bedford blasting Stevie Wonders' "Part-Time Lover" and dropped me off at the mall to help Danielle with the door which I broke at work. I then stayed over at Danielle's for the night. Again. YES! We watched War Games (very The Strokes) and just lazed around. It was fun.

On sunday, Danielle and I went to church and then came home and made some eggs. It was tasty. There was some Tetris, and then we went to go see "In Good Company". It was really good. The sound track was also a high point to the movie. There was lots of the Shins and Iron and Wine. Delicious. Then we had some supper and went back to Danielle's to hang out for the duration of the evening. It was a great couple of days.

As I've already said, I shoveled today and I'm going to go take a shower really soon.

WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!


I'm just dropping off an update for kicks. I'm so absolutely tired it hurts. I needed to change my classes around so that I could work (and also so that I wouldn't have a class from 6pm to 9pm on Monday), so I ended up giving myself the shit end of the stick with 8:30 am classes all fucking week long. Oh well, my weekend has already started bitches! That's right, every Thursday at 9:45am, it's the fucking weekend. So, what courses am I taking? Well, there's Accounting 242, Management 384, Commercial Law 201, and MSC 207, or, Stats if you will. I like my classes except for Management, but I'll get past the new marking scheme and the retarded profs someday. Right now, I'm sitting in a computer lab contemplating running around in circles just for the attention. Who knows... will I do it? No. I'm still too busy (I accidentally put busty the first time) with this little blog to expend any energy. I just got a IM from Danielle. Got to stay home from school she did, hmmm? Had to go to class I did, hmmm? Stop talking like Yoda I will, hmmm? Ok, sorry about that.

I just realized how random my writing is when I'm tired as beans. Beans? What the hell? Damn, now I'm hungry.

So, the fuckers at the SMU tech department disabled all the fucking sound cards. Now I can't listen to CD's while I work on this. Not cool. My math class was clean today. We went over probability distribution and 'Z' Charts. It was CLeeelelellcoelelllelcllcclean. In other pointless news, I'm now on the 3rd book of that Hitchiker's series, and it's still kicking ass. And bringing the funk.

Anyway, last week was Mike D's B-day, so I send him out mad props, and I send you all out pictures from the evening that ensued. We watched Seinfield, Napoleon Dynamite, and played some Roxanne and listened to some more of The Police afterwards. I took PICTURES!!! AH HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!



















And these are some Roxanne action shots...













What fun. I crashed on Harris's floor (location of fun) and made a break for it in the morning cause I had to work.

I slept over at Danielle's on Saturday night. It was fun. We watched Napoleon Dynamite and hung out till like 3 am, even though we need to get up early for

INVENTORY!!!!! WOW! YES! HUH! HAMMER!

That's right, we had to work from the LOVELY hours of 9am until 5pm SUNDAY in the STANKY ass mall counting shit. It was fun. Well, sometimes it was. There was a lot of stuff to count, and we took an hour long lunch break and walked around the fleamarket. It was SO gross. Just stuffy, mildew-y, and stinky all combined into one. OH and some DUMBFUCK was selling records, ALL of which were just in the outer sleeve with NO inner sleeve to protect the PRECIOUS vinyl on the inside. Not like there was anything good for sale anyway (well, save one BADLY fucked Buddy Holly Record) and the guy smelt like cheese. I don't actually know about the last part.

After all that, Danielle and I went to her house and ate some supper and took a nap. NICE! And then we played some tetris. I found out that I suck at that game, but I'm getting a bit better. Then, it was the Power Pad Olympics. That was so much fun. Woot. Then we watched this TV show about some guy in the Arctic. He ate a seals eyeball on TV. Gross.

I worked yesterday. It wasn't too bad. Actually, it was great. Sarah McHomohammer came by and talked for a bit around 5, which was good. Danielle stopped by about 10 minutes after McHomohomo left and brought me supper. And a guitar. It was very awesome. I love that girl. I restrung it and the proceeded to play it all night for entertainment. Then the door broke, but that's all taken care of now. I hung out with Danielle afterwards, and it was nice. Short, but still nice. We're hanging out today when I get home from changing a course around. Pictures of me with a guitar!





Tomorrow is Omars b-day, which means there will be fun somewhere in the city. I don't have money to drink or go downtown, but I'm sure there will be a pre-drink I can attend. B-day city it is. What? I don't know. I like crack. Or, is it I like not sleeping? Or I don't know.

OH YEAH! I just remembered that on Saturday night Danielle and I went to see Coach Carter. It was pretty good actually.

This game is REALLY hard. I beat it, but it took forever to get the last level. Try it.

I'm done. I've run out of random things to do and say.
GFY,
Tony I

I'm kinda bored. So I'm just writing a short update to keep me from shooting myself. I've been reading a whole lot of the Hitchiker Books that I got for Christmas, and they kick ass. I already knew this because I've read them before, but reading them now is just as fun. They are quite witty in many ways, and I have found myself laughing out loud from time to time. I'm about halfway through the second book in the five book trilogy (har har), which is titled "The Restaurant at the End of The Universe". I would say that if you've not read these books yet, you should take some time to at least glance at them. In other awesome news, they are making a movie for the books. I bet the movie will be somewhat good, seeing as how Douglas Adams wrote the screenplay. That's cleeeean.

In other news, Life Aquatic was KICK-ASS! I thought it was really well done, and well, the sound track kicked some serious ass. I guess a Portuguese guy took a bunch of Bowie songs and translated them to Portuguese, then throughout the movie was seen sitting playing on his acoustic and singing in Portuguese. It was pretty cool/funny/interesting. Oh, and did I mention that since I rule Danielle and I got in for free? Well, that's what happened. We skipped the line of people looking for tickets, which was all the way out the door. I'm so fucking important, I can barely stand it. HA.

Danielle came over this afternoon, and we chilled, napped, and made a play-list. It was fun. I just finished drinking a Diet Coke and reading up on that Hitchhiker's movie. I think I'm going to ask Jeff at the theatre to hook me up with a poster. I'd probably shit myself, or loose control of some other bodily function. I think the drums will be calling soon. Or maybe I'll start cooking supper. Or something. I don't quite know. I'll figure it out. I'm all done now I guess.
GFY,
Tony I.

Hey people! Happy Freakin' New Year!!! I guess it's time to kiss last year goodbye! This last year has been absolutely great. I don't regret a single thing that happened at all. I mean, there were some awesome parties, shows, and events that we will all remember forever, or as long as we can hold off the ol' brain damage. I can say some unexpected things happened, but they were all good. Especially what happened between me and Danielle. We've been together for 6 months now, and it's been great. What's funny is that everyone and their dog knew what was going to end up happening before we did. Oh well, here we are now, and it's never been better. School so far has been ok, I mean, I DID fail a class, but there's not much I could do about it. Perhaps I'll go next time around. I probably should have gone the first time. Meh, I'll live. I had 3 jobs over the last year, and I'm currently working my favorite job, at CD Plus. I don't know why I'm summing this all up, as all of you that read this already know most of this. So, what is the outlook for next year? Well, I'm going to attempt to start cutting the sugar out of my diet. That isn't a resolution. It's just something I'm going to try to do. I also want to play drums in a band. I also want to keep my job at CD plus over the summer while working full time elsewhere. I'm a busy lad, and sometimes that's how it's got to be. Ham Dammer. Well, happy new year to you all! All the best and yadda-yadda-yadda.

So, now that that's over, I bring you the other part of my update. My friend Phil from Winnipeg came down to see his grandparents on Christmas. We ended up hanging out on Tuesday night, after I worked and hung out with Danielle. We went to brewsters and got jimmied. After that, we came back and listened to music, played video games, and watched a movie with Chuck and Mike D. It was loads of fun. I guess it's pretty cool that I've known Phil for 14 years and that we've not even been living in the same area for 11 years. I can chalk that up to the internet and snail mail. Here are some pics from that night.







On Wednesday, Danielle, Phil, Danielle's cousin Jen, and myself went to the mall. I got a cool new hoodie, and Anchorman on DVD. It's pretty funny. I worked in the evening and then watched the movie at Danielle's. Cool beans.

I worked on Thursday too, but I was supposed to work from 1 until close. BUT the power went out and Cory, Sarah, and I ended up leaving at 7. Everyone was supposed to stay 'till 8, but since we're oh-so-cool, we just gave it the F.I. I ended up staying home and reading, because I just missed out on going to see Plaskett. Danielle came to see me after the show, and we headed to her place for the night. It was lots of fun. I got to see a tape of the concert and hang out with Danielle.

Friday day was spent doing laundry, getting jimmy, and then finding a ride home. That night, we headed over to Shrew's for a New Years' pre-party BBShrew, and then to Ardilan's place for the cap off. It was a good time. I stayed at Danielle's place that night. Here are the piccccsssss.

















































It was a blast.

Today, Danielle and I just lazed around and watched movies. We went out for dinner with her family and then came back and watched coffee and cigarettes, which wasn't too bad of a film. We then just lay around and talked. It was fun.
Well, I'm done.
Happy New Year
GFY,
Tony I
