Invisibile reasons for my unchained harmony..

So today has been interesting. I mean really interesting. I woke up after 12 hours of sleep..i decided to go to bed at 9pm last night and boy was it a good idea. When i woke up i was pretty out of it..until i realised i didn't have to do anything until like 5 oclock tonight so i was like yesss...Then i got up and started cleaning my room. And so on and so forth.
I was having a conversation with my mom when she tells me they're going out for dinner with my grandparents tonight. I try to never miss these things because i love my grandparents, but i have tdi tonight so i couldnt go. I complained of course, i mean why can't they go out for dinner on a night i'm free? I mean throw me a frickin bone here people! So then i kept cleaning my room. It wasnt even close to being clean, not even a little bit, not even at ALL close. It was gross. Eek. Umm what else did i do..oh i went into work to get my paystub and actually heard one of those conversations i thought only existed outside of my life. The which is better: shampoo, conditioner or 2in1. The conversation really went back and forth but for me, conditioner will always be better because as everyone knows, it leaves the hair silky and smooth right? Definitely. But then asgain, i don't actually use conditioner...which "might" explain why m hair is never silky or smooth. But that's just a theory. Anyway, so now clean my room is. Definitely clean. And around my desk too..my dad came down as was like wow..not bad..or something along those lines and in the spirit of the moment that i had gotten caught up in i was just like, yep, i know kung fu! He looked at me weird and such, but thats nothing new. Anyway, yea that was basicaly my day so far. Oh except i found out my parents are doing groceries for me BEFORE they go to Chile, which means i'l have food to eat..i was so happy when i found out, sort of a "reallllllay?" Moment. Yea you know the kind no doubt. Anyway, i should get back to whatever studying i was doing before. Catch y'all later..

RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!!!

exammmmm

So i wrote my first exam today. It wasn't actually quite as bad as i hadimagined it would be. Their were quites a few difficult questions. But nothing too bad that i couldnt managed. Multiple choice, true or false, short answer, but nothing worth crying over. So i think i did pretty bad on it..other people were done in like forty five minutes, fortyfive! Thats insane isnt it? Unbelievable that some people could do something i found so difficult so darn quickly. That being said it only really took me an hour so theres not a huge amount of difference in that respect. Anyway, yea, i'm prettysure that i at least passed it, but probably only by like a percent or two at the most. Alrighty,well i have an assignment i have to get done for my english literature class..so have a greatday everyone!

"If you wanna BE somebody..
If you wanna GO somewhere..
You better WAKE UP and pay attention.."
Alright, 50 points to whoever nails what movie this is in the comment section first. Come on guys, it's easy. As well as blogging i'm also going to pop little movie quotes or hints towards movies here and there..and if u comment first about what reference i'm making, 50 points! And then first to 500 points..well..i'll give them a prize! I really will! Write that down.
The reason i decided to use that quote is because, well, DUH. It's true. I noticed the other day..sitting on the bus..looking at the various people on the bus, that these are all people going somewhere, to be somebody. They're awake, they're paying attention, why aren't i? Sure, i'm somebody. Whatever. I was going "to" school..but what does that mean? I think over the last few weeks i've hit a bit of a rut in my life. So it's time i wake up and pay attention, so to speak.

diddly duck egg

Hey everyone..so i realised i haven't blogged all weekend..and i was wondering why. Sitting here in my desk at school i realised. I have nothing to talk about. Not a think. Zero, zilch, zip, zippo, but nothing's wrong! It's the wierdest feeling. Like usually when i don't have much to say something is bugging me but right now i just, am. Lol. Just thought i'd clarify because i might not blog for a bit, and in case you're wondering..it's just because i don't got anything to say.

Yes..thats right..great grammar!

Getting a raise..

So, looks like i'm finally getting that raise i've been hankering for. I've worked at Shoppers now for 2 years and i'm making $8.50 and hour. A dollar up from 2 years ago..thats a little ridiculous, lol. So finally today i decided i was going to do something about it. I wrote a note to the owner and just explained everything, about how i'd been contemplating searching for a higher paying job but that i thought i'd give Shoppers the chance to give me a bit more because i need to pay for school.
I'm not the confrontational type. I thought haha i'll give it to him and leave, SIMPLE! But for some reason my feet wouldn't move so i ended up standing in front of the counter (he's the pharmacist) as he read my note. He smiled at the "threat" i made..(it was a joke, good one too ask me i'll tell it to you). Anyway he looked at me and said, don't worry, i'll look after it. So for him that pretty much means by Tuesday i'll be making some more money. I don't know how much more, it might be .05 cents. Oh well, i'll update Tuesday or Friday when i get my pay stub to let y'all know what happened!

After and before..


Ok, so Dionne tells me you can tell a difference in the "roundness" of my face when comparing a photo of me from 2004 and one from 2005..since i gave up caffeine and all. Ok so tell your opinions..the one on the left is the newer pic..the one on the right is from 2004. Let me know what you think!!

The Next Step


May 2nd, 2005. I gave up caffeine. Its been 5 and a half months. Before May 2nd, i had been drinking way too much caffeine. And it's just not healthy to do that, so i gave it up.

October 19th, 2005. Today. I was drinking my second sprite of the day when i realised..what's the point giving up caffeine just to replace it with a lot of sugar?
I'm basically not doing anything different.

So..from tomorrow on..i'm done with Pop. Altogether. No Coke. No Sprite. No NOTHING. I'm done. So i did the first step, which was no caffeine. And now i'm here for the second step, no pop.

WISH ME LUCK!

Moulin Rouge..

Now i realise i'm probably going to get chastised for writing this, because i was really bored when i watched Moulin Rouge. But anyway, a few nights ago i sat down with a friend and watch maybe 50 minutes of Moulin Rouge, and i have to say, it was really boring. I did want to claw my eyes out because well i really didn't understand very much of it, it was THAT confusing to me. But then thursday during the day something was eating at me, telling me that i should watch it. Why not eh? Just a movie..then TDI came. And we got on the topic of Love again and throughout the night being told when God loves us, its almost good enough for him when we love someone else and all that stuff Amy said. And so last night, at about 1am, i started Limewire and downloaded Moulin Rouge to watch the rest. And i ended up watching the entire thing. And i was dumbfounded. What an amazing concept. We join a character (Christian) who is so in love with (Satine) that nothing else seems to matter to him. He says, "All you need is love" and corny movie lyrics like, "Love lift us up where we belong, where eagles fly, on a mountain high." And so on and so forth. But what caught my eye the other night when i watched it for the first time, and at TDI and when i watched it again was he says All you need is Love. Say it to yourself, ALL you need is LOVE. Thats it. Done. Everything. All. Thats IT! Only love. Nothing more. Wow. But as true as that is..a very important life lesson comes shortly after.. when he says, "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."
Nearing the end of the movie, i knew what was coming (i had been pre warned). The girl dies, and the guy, that same guy who would do anything for love, is left with only his story to tell. And if you DONT want to know how this movie ends. Stop reading

Christian: I love you
Satine: You've got to go on Christian
Christian: Can't go on without you.
Satine: You've got so much to give; tell your story Christian
Christian: No
Satine: Yes, promise me, promise me
Christian: No
Satine: Yes, that way, I'll always be with you

That way, i'll always be with you.

I must apologise to my friend whom i first watched this with. At first i thought this movie was incredibly pointless and not worth my time. I just wasn't interested in hearing 2 hours about some guy who loves another girl yada yada yada. But then with everything mixed in, TDI and all..i had to watch it. And it all hit me at once. I dono, people reading this might think it's a huge ramble so i'm just going to end off with one simple quote to sum it all up,

All you need...is Love. GOD'S LOVE!

Love..what a word

1 Corinthians 13

Love
1If I speak in the tongues[f] of men and of angels,
but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the
flames,[g] but have not love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
9For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.
11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Twister..uniting people for centuries..


So many guys.....so.....little dots..

Thankfulness

So when i was thinking about what i'm thankful for..the biggest thing i could think of is friends. There's a lot of things i don't think i'd be able to do. And so thank you to all my friends, especially a select few who really know me and are extremely good to me, thanks. You know who you are. Anyway, here's a quote from a great song about friends, "You've got a friend in Me" by Randy Newman:

"You've got troubles, I've got 'em too.
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you.
We'll stick together to see it through
'cause you've got a friend in me."
And that's true, from me to all my friends. Love y'all!

Penne Pollo

As i sit here with my penne pollo and thanksgiving looms, i shudder at the thought of missing my annual family dinner that we always have with my grandparents. My parents are going to Ottawa for tomorrow and monday so they decided to have thanksgiving today. And i work until 7. No problem i thought il just eat at 4 during my break. But, my manager asked me to go earlier than that because she has to go home early so i'm going to miss the meal. I mean yea i'll have the leftovers and an additional one tomorrow but theres just something about gathering with my parents and grandparents and giving thanks for all of the little things in life that was sometimes take for granted. I'm going to post either tomorrow or monday what i'm thankful for, but i just wanted to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving. Don't take anything for granted, and be thankful for everything!

Greatest Quote Ever

"Out Damn Spot!"
Yeah. Think about it..

Monday, October 03, 2005

Full of Grace

the winter here's cold, and bitter
it's chilled us to the bone
we haven't seen the sun for weeks
to long too far from home
I feel just like I'm sinking
and I claw for solid ground
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
oh darkness I feel like letting go

Just for arguments sake..

To those who participated in the "bones in the body" argument..their are 206:
