some derpy stuff

year

k so just a quick update blog right hurr

exams are coming up pretty soon + school in general is really bad + writing about adventures takes a suuuuuper long time to do, so ima ditch this guy for a minute. i know that i have at least a couple of days of break in between exams, so i might fire one off then, but im not really sure. regardless, there SHOULD be one before 2011. so keep an eye out for that one lol

but yeah not too too much to report. umm the window in which i write the text for the blog has changed the font from a really badass looking one to like times new roman, so that has made blogging a lot less exciting for me, but that doesnt really affect anyone else at all i guess.

derp

also i guess ill do a quick little piece of advice / not adventure, just so you guys dont waste your time (just a note on this: i actually think this is a cool / interesting story, but no one else really thinks so...but f them, im doiner anyways)

k so a couple of weeks ago the lads and i at the house were were all doing some drinking here, then go to separate venues at some point. so they had to get to 1280 relatively soon, so we played the "lets drink as much as we can" game. so they all had their mixed drinks and i had a 60 of whiskey that i was NOT keeping track of aaaaaand i ended up winning the game. unfortunately, winning this game doesnt necessarily mean that youve won the life, because i ended up writing some really heartfelt things on one of the guys from the american dollars facebook page, then passing out at like 10:45 and missing a campfire. sooo pretty good there.

yeah pretty classy.

i kind of like that story, f everybody



but yeah thats about it for now, staying at mcmaster kinda needs to happen



songs
right now: milkshake - holy fuck
on deck: Introduction to Environmental Engineering by Vesilind
old one thats too much: kind of on a big qotsa kick right now, so regular john and song for the dead are being played a lot
new one: shiver - vildhjarta. soooooo djenty and goooooooood. oh man.
too much: lots of animals as leaders recently. vrrrrry good. also theyre on tour with some emo bands, so that will be a fun show. . .

shout outs
hm i did this blog without any harassment, so theres not too much to go there
lets shout out myself, because having a blog where i do nothing but talk about how interesting my life is isnt narcissistic enough



yeah that will do it for now. i will definitely do another one sometime tho, just not like in the immediate future...remember that time that i did two in like a week or so? that was cool

anyyyways



also fun fact right here: this is the first time in a bunch of months that i have started a blog and have had it posted in one night. I think thats kinda cool





dourpe

some sort of record

yeap. 2 (hopefully) decent (not really) posts within like 8 months of each other
told you i didnt ditch this bad boy.

k yeah steve news will be second, because the first thing that i would like to do is to gloat at all of the h8rs (lol) out there who said that this thing was dead, or i was a darche because i ditched the blog or whatever...so yeah, if i was a bigger person, i wouldnt say that i told you so...but im not really? so im just going to like imply it right now.

yeah

so steve news to seconder out. not much to report. its midterm time right now, so thats kind of balls, but it will be done by like 4 or so on thursday, so cool. year.
alright that sounds good for that stuff

k so adventurous weekend just happened...umm most of the post will be talking about that. good stuff you know?

but before that i do want to point out that canadas worst driver is like the best show ever...i did some blogging during the new episode and its like the best. yeah lol.

kword lets get to it

so friday. for whatever reason, it was decided to be get suuuuuuuper destroyed day, which is always nice. lcbo run with the boys and im like, yeah ill get a 60 of whiskey, its more economical to buy this stuff in bulk and drink it over a long period of time. it sure is.

so yeah plan was to hang out with the boys, go to a party at janie ks house where there may or may not be bradford people, meet up with people from the house, go to another party (basically) across town (like the other side of westdale), break off and go hang out with like banjo or go to a campfire or go do SOMETHING else. that was the plan anyways.

yeah so predrank a loooot of whiskey, like quite a bit in not very much time, took a random amount of whiskey in a dirt bottle and headed off to janies with dylan. pretty much got there, started getting blurry, did the flip cup and beer pong thing, got more blurry, ditched. i think we were drinking there for like an hour...maybe and we were going to meet vasillios, victoria and preston at some nearby bus stop then go to the other party together. pretty sure. so after that was pretty hard on the blurriness, and im not really sure what happened, but we were at the bus stop with the three new people and we were getting on the same bus to go to the same location, but when we got on the bus, the new three people werent there...it was kinda strange. w.e.

yeah so this party was like friggin far down longwood, and i live basically on emerson, so it was a mission away, even on the bus. but it was blurry times, so it didnt really make any difference. k so dylan and i get to the party and i like know all the people, SORT OF.
--> (totally a story within a story right now, pretty good). so like last september or early october or something, one of my buddies, mike from home came to mac to party with his (then) second year friends at one of their houses. at this point in my alcoholic career, i was still what even the least manly of ladies would call a lightweight, and i was in the mood to do some dranking. so mike and i are there and i end up doing my first ever finish a mickey in one night thing. pretty big accomplishment. i felt really good about myself. (fun fact on that one: i totally drank smirnoff mixed with grape shoppers drugmart brand pop. really tasty, suuuuper womanly...w.e i was young and naive). and to celebrate this fact i decided just to rock out super aggressively to whatever music was playing. like just headbang to whatever not rock music was playing at the time. very metal. but yeah at the time i thought that i was super amazing and all of that stuff because everyone was all oh that kids crazy. so when we were leaving i walked up to like everyone at the party and pointed at them and yelled "you add me on facebook!" "you add me on facebook!". annnnnyways, a whole bunch of those people actually ended up adding me and i totally barely remembered them from the night before. yeah it was their party...also they totally remembered everything...and one of the girls is dating dylan. so pretty good stuff<--

yeah so party was sweet. like super super blurry, had a tall boy, hung out some. you know.

so it was time to leave and the plan was to ditch there and go and meet up with other people, be drank, etc. so i was leaving and i started calling people and from what ive gathered, i would call people be like lets hang out and theyd be like yeah, id be like k ill be over in like 5 minutes, then i would forget about it really fast and call back. this happened for a while until i ended up convincing myself that everyone was collectively ditching and i was like f this, im just going to go to bed. i didnt really know what was going on...also i got pizza pizza, it was amazing.

stumbled home...or at least what i thought was home. i totally ended up walking the wrong way and i ended up at the bridge to dundurn...which is 100% not the right way home. yeah thats how drank i was at that time. it was suuuuper rough. i think it was like an hour walk in total + seriously, seriously stumbly. i honestly have no idea how i got home without damaging myself. it was friggin rough.

so next morning i realized that like half of the 60 was gone. sooooo bad. really economical.

derp.

so that was friday. saturday was like sit and be a darche then dranking at carol / jackie / etc(lol)s house, then ditch for keggers somewhere.

so. got a trusty dirt bottle filled with whiskey and headed out. when i was leaving i was like, yeah i guess i drank a fuck ton of whiskey last night so ill go and grab some coke to chase / mix that guy with because throw up or other bad stuff might happen.

yeah got to the house and got to drinking. played that drinking game where you like count up to 21 and say fuck and drink a lot. pretty sweet. i tried getting them to start saying drank, not really sure if it worked out lol.

so yeah a lot of drinking, did pictures, did some shots. goood times.

OH and remember that bag that i lost / got stolen at that party like 2 posts ago? yeah that sucked a lot, but at the party theyre like yeah remember that bag? we still have it. yea like mind = blown. and it still had everything in it. like my american dollar shirt, shaving kit and a bacardi bottle that was a little less than a quarter full. suuuuper good.

k so they ditched for hess and i headed for keggers with dylan and melissa. but like 2 seconds after i left the house, i saw two sketchy guys walking and one of them was like hey man are you the guy that tried to fight me last night? and im like fuuuuuuuuu friggin derps, i dont want to have to get into a fight right now. so im all like uhm no i have no idea what youre talking about. and hes all like naw b i think you tried to fight me last night, whats your name. so i go yeah im steve and i sure didnt try to fight you yesterday and his friend was like yo darche he definitely didnt try to fight you. and im like sure didnt, can i leave now? and they ended up walking in the direction that i was planning on going, so i had to take the long way to campus...lame. but yeah still a good time.

on the way to the keggers, saw josh van der lee for a second, then got to a kegger with dylan and melissa and melissas friend. got there, the thing was definitely dry. pretty solid.

so were like k this is cool, well just go to the sterling kegger, because theyve got amsterdam there and that tastes like amazing, so lets go do that. yeap. so that one was definitely dry as well. metal. buuut i had some super old and kind of gross bacardi, so this is still good times.

(k at this point in the blog its like a bunch of days after i wanted the post to go up and this is like over a week after all of these adventures happened, and i just want the post to go up. so im going to glaze over the rest of this adventure and get this bad boy posted)

k. did snooty for about 2 minutes, it was super full, left, went to melissas for a minute, had a pogo, more liquor, walked back to the house, met some dude who was sort of friends, steve, with dylan who got ditched and he ended up hanging out with us for the rest of the night, hung out at some random house on emerson and talked to people, went back to the house, listened to a lot of music and showed that steve kid some sweet music (obvs), ditched.

gg on that one.



knarce

k kinda shortish post, but w.e. this ones up fastish compared to the rest of them. also f ramblings of a pillowified-coloured-robot. keep up with this lol.

also mcmaster band with banjo, nolan and amir is potentially playing a show at some eng event pretty soon...so get your shit ready for that

and go to this link. its a video of a band covering a meshuggah song in a not very metal, but actually very metal way. worth checking out

and there were a butt load of adventures on the halloween weekend as well, but ima put them in in a different post. too much stuff, including but not limited to getting super drank, hating on banjo and carol, hating on go transit --> missing rhps, using a ladder to climb into a second story window in my house because i didnt have any keys, great times with the boys, and etc. yeah, i might blog on that, but i dont know how long the next blog will take to happen

songish list
right now - watching cloudy with a chance of meatballs with the boys...pretty manly
on deck - not sure yet. probably some simpsons before some bed. derp
too much - the fountain by eggeh. like djenty, ambient, fuckin metal. really good stuff

shout outs.
a couple
first one is to follower number 8, omfgbear. super metal. um do a comment or something, because i have no idea who you are? lol. but ty for subscribing, pretty metal.
second one is to jackie, for being fun drinking with. and hopefully your eye feels better?
and last ones for daniel because he read the blog one time? and because i was hating on you for having chase with a shot lol.

also shout out to doug and doug and angie and smart and elly for going to rocky horror on bloor on the saturday before halloween and i totally ditched them. dick move on my part, but f the buses and way to not hate on me that hard after. yeah.

EDIT and shout out to amelia (not carol) for being a champ and not freaking out over some (a lot of) boob grabbing. that was pretty cool

solid there should be one in the semi to near future. i hope.

year.

"youre solid gooold and ill see you in hell"









hey and a little note after the end of this post. so the post i did last time, although it wasnt actually posted on september 23, 2010, blogger says that it was posted then. this doesnt really matter that much, but it turns out that the very first post of the blog was on september 24th 2009. so i guess that was the 1 year anniversary post.

pretty cool......








"this is dave catching here, not sayin good night...just sayin..."

the return of the return

k narce, blogs back on right now. get your shit excited*

uhh yeah so getting right into it. i actually started this blog on my netbook outside mdcl in between classes on this like super nice part of the day and it was awesome. but then some other guys came and sat on the bench with me and it made writing feel really awk. like they probably wouldnt understand what was going on if they had read what i was typing and it would have been weird...im pretty sure that they are in most of my classes and i didnt really want to put up with probably getting looks from them all of the time

w.e blogging at home now.

k yea back at school now...but thats old news

not really THAT exciting so far. like really sick, but not as exciting as you may have thought...but thats something that we may or may not get into. havent decided yet. (edit: its like 2 weeks later and im basically all better. just in case you were concerned)

alright sweet. so the steve update...because i know that thats what youve been waiting like 9 years to hear.
k
living on royal dr or st or something. right like 15 mins south of school and like 45 seconds from the eng bar. really metal. they have mediocre nachos.
my room is really small which wouldnt really be that big of a deal, but i decided that it would be a good idea to bring a queen bed and my drums. sooo, needless to say, space is a little tight right now. but its cool. my desk is a table top that i sometimes put on my bed and do work on...but not very often tho, its kind of a huge hassle. and i have a seriously bitchin sound system, which is my ipod connected to a bass effects pedal that is connected to two (2) bass amps...so lots of bass and stuff. im happy with it lol.
that sounds good for this section

oh and i totally went to limeridge on the weekend and got some new jeans. it was pretty lame.


k yea, back to blogging outside between classes.

for people who are in the "i sometimes care about what steve does, as long as its something that is mildly interesting to read" group of people, you might be a tad disappointed right now. like summer was basically the night jorb at an aluminum factory, which was as exciting as it sounds. and like frosh was mildly disappointing. like it wasnt bad in any sense of the word, just like instead of getting destroyed and going and having some adventures, it was like get drank and plan on going to like 9 different house parties and having a great time, but instead end up at some lame party that we werent even supposed to go to and end up leaving early and going home early and passing out before like 2 or whatever...like still definitely fun times, but not great bloggging times. oh well, there will be more adventures

buuut like the second or third night out, i did get hit in the face by some random brown dudes, which i guess is interesting...kinda? but yeah here it goes anyways. its mildly interesting. it was one of those first couple of nights during frosh week. dranking and going to random house parties that werent the ones that we had planned on going to and etc. so fairly drank, heading down emerson with vasillios and classic peter from whidden and yeah, just like heading home...mildly stumbly, but like not that bad. at least i think it wasnt THAT bad.

yeah even thanksgiving was pretty quiet. only went dranking one of the days. just whatever with the mcdonnell boys, fun, but nothing too sloppy or whatever. not much thar.

derp. pretty lame.

which brings me to the language update section of the blog

im pretty sure that everyone that reads this blog knows what derp is, but just in case they didnt know, derp is deeefinitely the thing to say right now. eg: derp is metal. just like that. but its sweet, like derp has a ton of uses. like, anytime you dont know what to say during an awk point of a convo, bust out a derp. or like as a noun its pretty cool, like look at those derps over there. and etc, tons of other uses, give it a check somewhere. nailed it.

k number two is the noun jeff. this is a like cure all term that is used to identify a (generally) males significant female counterpart. so like if your friend is talking to his gf on the phone, the appropriate phrase would be hes talking to jeff right now. or like jeff is coming over or something to that extent. and this term 100% not restricted to an actual girlfriend; it refers to any girl that is like interesting to a male. eg like if its a girl that a guy is wheeling, its like that guy is going to hang out with jeff right now. its pretty useful that way...names are confusing.

oh yeah theres a good chance that there is going to be a trip to TO on halloween to do rocky horror on bloor. soo definitely do that if you like sweet transvestites / im sure that there will be a lot of appropriately dressed female cops and kitties and nurses and etc in TO, which is definitely worth the price of the bus lol. plus like its rhps in rl, so there is a 99999% chance of shadiness, which will definitely be worth it...im bringing some mace.

solid. music update now.
k if you missed the cloudkicker update from like 9 years ago...and i think last post as well, go here and here...its really good stuff

also that + meshuggah both sort of fall into this new genreish of music called djent. i think its new, but regardless, its really really sweet...like narce and metal and polyrhythmic and stuff. really cool.
click on this thing. some of the bands are lame, but most of them are really cool. worth going to for sure.


k f that.


hm this ones pretty thin right now.


did anyone see that scott pilgrim vs the world? thats a hella movie


w.e the next one will be better, like ill probably have some cool stories because it will take me like 8 months to get the next one out.

yeah

giver with those list things
songs
- right now: this sol niger within medley by fredrik thordenal and morgan agren --> guitarist from meshuggah and a drummer doing a medley from the guitarists solo album....cool stuff
- on deck: not really sure...kinda sick of my music as of whenever im writing this section of the blog...probably some simpsons soon
- too much: 8 by uneven structure. djent band, really cool song / band from france and like various european places...worth checking out
- old one thats really cool: myxomatosis by radiohead. it came up on shuffle through my amp speaker system and its got a ton of bass in the song...sounded sweet

k and the shout outs. these are key?
um yea theres like 9 years of backlogged shout outs here, so im going to cop out and say whoever wants one has one for this blog. yea thats a sweet thing to do

also obligatory carol shout out because i always end up doing one of these and because she has been hounding me to get this blog up...so thank her for that i guess


yeah the next one will be good, i swear. just as long as i go and do some adventures soon.

*cough*

naw, but seriously, dont lose the faith yet, this thing is still going...just its not as agile and it is more prone to injury. think of the blog as an old man for the time being...that would make things a lot easier.

yea



also the post time on this thing according to me and not blogger is basically 11:42pm on october 13, 2010, not whatever the site says...they lie





*note: after writing most of the blog, ive learned that you dont really need to get excited, just get like kind of anticipated...its not amazing

i think about you in the suuummer time. ooOOoohhhhh!

yep. new kids.
im pretty sure that theyre completely called for right now.

also this blog has taken a shit long time to actually write (looking like about 2 weeks lol, so theres probably going to be a lot of like continuity issues and fun stuff like that)

so im not really sure how this is going to work. like i have to sum up like 2 months of intense life and shout outs into like 25 pages of blog and im not really sure how or if it can be done...but lets give this a try, ok?

so. this is the first of probably several attempts at writing this bad boy. its 224 am friday june 12 (technically saturday morning). ive been home from work for about an hour now, my hands are suuuuuper chapped, my feet / legs hurt a lot, i really should be sleeping and my itunes randomizer just put some meshuggah on. this is kinda pretty nice.

so ill do the steve news in chunks and get this stuff out of the way

april. probably just exams all month. too tired to remember that well. moved out of whidden, didnt blog. pretty shit actually.

may. back from school, looked for jobs, looked for jobs, looked for jobs, got screwed out of jobs, looked for jobs, thought about student debt, looked for jobs, didnt get marks back, looked for jobs. i think thats it. pretty shit as well. also i looked for jobs.

may / june weekend comma few days after. luck streak. checked out concert band arts night on thursday, massively epic weekend (later in the post), got g2, got a job, got marks, learned that i passed all of my classes (wasnt really sure lol), ate some double downs...i think thats it...w.e. reaaallly good coupla days

june till now. loving the shit out of days where i dont have to work, another epppic weekend (might be below, havent decided), realized new job is poo, looked(ing) for jobs, got canned from new job (read somewhere below), looking for jobs

pretty much it.

k good start

alright so im pretty sure that the post is going to be the carol / etc party from like 3 years ago (because im pretty sure that i will get murdered if i dont put this in lol), cottage weekend with the boys from like 2 weeks ago and then some random other stuff that comes to me as i go. sounds good.





k chapter 1: party shortly after school ended in the hammer

preamble. shortly after first year ended and house party at amelia / jackie / sam / paula / alexs house. the plan was to go there and get really hammered and have a good time, then banjo will show up at some point, rinse, repeat.

also i should point out that theres a really really good chance that this is not going to be accurate at all; this was actually the roughest night that ive EVER had so most of my information is a combination of my own super blurry memory and what amber told me like 2ish days later. alllso this was like a bunch of time ago and my own memory is bad anyways. so dont count on this being right at all.

k yeah so bussed down. got there, got to drinking. pretty cool, drank, hung out, apparently had amber like feed me drinks or something, throw up, throw up some more, whatever. theres also TON of scenes missing here, so dont be very mad if i left something out around here. after throwing up a looot (apparently did a tag throw up in the toilet with jackies sister (name? lol)) i went to like try to sleep it off. the only thing was that this was still really early in the night, so i was like, yeah ill go find someplace quiet, where there wont be much traffic so i can sleep in peace. nice, so went to sleep on the super dirty / dingy furnace room floor. good night. the end.

definitely not. so i woke up when some douche was trying to like pants me or something. like i was really drunk and not really sure what was happening, but it was super super super awk. and im pretty sure that i like tried to fight the dick...which was understandable, because i was like passed out and just was like attempted to be pants'd. but yeah, woke back up and had a pretty good rest of the night, like just hung out and listened to music (from my ipod on a dock / station thing (remember this)) with people and it was pretty awesome. went to sleep on the floor in the basement. nice.

cool. next morning. pretty sick. i woke up really cold in my jacket in the basement on the floor pretty early and couldnt find my bag that had my hangover powerade in it, cool, go back to sleep, dont matter. went back to sleep for a bit woke up and did the hang out with some of the friends of friends that i had no idea who they were for a minute. pretty cool, i was hung over and super tired, so i figured i should try to get home and get a LOT of sleep. im not really sure what time this was, but i think paula was up (regardless, i left my bag in her room) and i went to go look for it. it wasnt there. cool. i remember that i left my ipod in the player, so i went to get that. wasnt there. also cool. "have you guys seen my bag or ipod?" "nope." sick. so looked for a bit, gave up. i still had my wallet and phone on me, so that was KIND OF a win? i guess?

so good morning so far. my worst night / hangover ever and my stuff is all gone. looks like im ready to take on the day.

yep, so the plan was to bus back to TO, then get to newmarket, home and bed. of course, the bus to toronto was standing room only, but i looked / was really pissed off so i was able to get a super cramped seat. kinda win. i got an aisle seat, which means that i was in really close proximity to the seats next to me, which had a girl and a nice little, loud guy, who was clearly drinking some (lots) crown royal on the bus...i felt a little better.

my bus was actually like 5 mins late, which meant that i missed my connecting bus to newmarket, which meant that i was stuck, smelly and really hung over at like noon in TO. greaaat. drunk guy was hanging around the bus loop as well and he looked like he needed some company, which meant that i would be spending the majority of my hour there at the eatons centre. it was actually pretty nice, like it was a sick day, hella sunny, nice breeze, good hangover cure stuff. so walking around, i figured that i would be able to stomach a smoothie. healthy(ish) pretty light, should be good. i got all of it down, felt great. todays going to be pretty good.

k back on the bus. just stomached a smoothie, theres plenty of room on the bus, like i got my own double seat and there wasnt anyone around me at all. siiiick. this days starting to turn around. buuuuut, the drunk dude made an unexpected and unwelcome comeback to the story and boarded the bus. i try to stare away from where that dude would look and i tired to look as pissed off as possible so that he wouldnt talk to me. i dont really want to sound like a dick, but usually when theres an awk stranger that likes to strike up random convos with people they ALWAYS talk to me. like without fail...he sat right behind me.

k so panic mode enabled. like he was really really drunk and kind of a dick. on the bus from the hammer to TO, i overheard (was forced to hear) him talking to some girls about how it was really stupid of them that they were going to shop at the eatons centre. so he was sitting behind me, and i KNEW that he was going to strike up some sort of convo. so usually in this situation, the proper dodge is to put in headphones and either turn them up really loudly or to just put them in and ignore everyone. good thing my ipod was stolen. this was going to be rough. so i went for the prop my head on the window and pretend that im sleeping. this was a risky move, because he was drunk and couldnt see that i my eyes were closed. but it was my only option. so im trying to hide and this dude just starts talking loudly. i assume its at me, but it doesnt seem like he has a specific target, so im sleeping. aaaand theres a lot of traffic, this is going to be shit. he keeps that up for a second, then he changes his game up, opting for the "oh dont worry, no ones talking to you!" method. crafty. im like 300% sure that hes talking to me, so i went for the probably less messy option half turning around and going "what me?" but im pretty sure that he was too drunk to notice that i was trying to make an effort to make him be quieter. shit. this happened again, but he heard me, so he said something kinda drunkenly to me that i didnt understand and i turned around and pretend that i was sleeping again. several minutes later, he passed out. like by that time it was probably close to 3pm, hes had a long day and needed a nap.

so by now, im assuming that the readers are thinking that this story is over. its been long and grueling, but this is the return post, so i gotta keep this bad boy going.

k so the classy part of the story. remember when i said that i was like the most hungover that ive ever been? and that i had just had a smoothie that i (at the time) kept down? and that there was a lot of traffic, which ended up with the bus stopping and starting A LOT. great. at least drunk guy was asleep. so i actually tried to sleep, like i wasnt doing anything else. so. eyes closed a lot plus stop+start traffic was great. im not really sure how close to the aurora exit we were, but at some point i had a bit of a spit throw up. like not a lot, like just what you would do if you were to do a spit. i had some napkins in my pocket. taken care of. buuut. that wasnt the end of it. a few minutes later, i had quite a large bit of throw up happen. like for some reason i had a crap ton of napkins in my pocket, but this was an angry smoothie. yep. threw up on the bus on the highway. classssssssyyyyy. and there was still at least a bunch of exits before the bus even thinks about stopping / getting off of the highway. sooooo, i ended up like holding onto some throw up napkins, hoping that i didnt get leaked on. claaaasssssssssyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. also groooosssssssssssss.

then it got kinda shitty. i jumped out of the bus at the aurora exit and ran to the ditch right near the bus loop and threw what was left of my guts out into a small puddle. it was really sad. i grabbed a picture on the phone. ill put it on the fb at some point not really. so my mom was supposed to pick me up in newmarket, but she had to come get me at aurora and 404. and this part was especially good, because she doesnt really like me drinking at all, let alone doing this. but w.e she was as cool with it as possible. i guess thats a win.

then i went home and slept for a while, then showered sooo much shit off of me. roooouuuuuggghhhh night.

k there. that party is posted finally. f carol.





part 2: doing the drinking thing at the cottage

yessir. gooooood times at taylors cottage in midland. this one was also a little while ago, so some of the details might not be 100%...but yeah still probably decent.

k yea, so arts night to see the concert band on thursday (nostalgia) (epic), then did the thing to midland. drove up with ryan, kyle and amber. deefinitely epic. basically got there and spent a shit ton of money on groceries and pizza and necessities along those lines.

yeap, so we got to the cottage at like 6 or 7 or sometime, got our rooms, had pizza, then started drinking and jamming. it was like electric bass, guitar, acoustic guitar and spoons. i think. w.e, still awesome.

but yeah, like pretty much the whole night was just drinking a lot of beers and hanging out at a cottage. not really THAT much to say (this is like my 9th day of writing the blog and i want this to get published lol), but like it was really awesome. like there was drunk campfire jamming, everyone was hanging out and talking and drinking and i heart to hearted with most of the people and pokemons and nirk threw up what looked like throw up and blood. gooood night.

day 2, this one was pretty much the best. basically, the morning was waking up at like 930 (soooooooo shit), taylor cleaning up the bloody throw up mess that nirk put in the bathroom (which ended up being throw up and he had cut his foot, but the two substances blended really well together, making us think that he threw up blood, but we were too drunk to do much about it lol). so yeah cleaned that, figured out what to do for food / rest of the day. steve bone is a champ and the second he learned that he didnt have to drive anywhere, he immediately grabbed a beer...i think that this happened at like 10isshhhh. w.e champ. i mean. everyone else at least had SOME control and started drinking at like 1 or 2? sometime like that. early enough to be sweet, but late enough to still have a bit of class.

pretty chill (lol) day, shit ton of time spent sitting at the dock and drinking and pokemoning and stuff. like the most work that we did was we helped taylors neighbour float out his dock. which actually sucked and was a lot of work, but we each got a beer for helping (and there was like 6 or 7 of us lol), so successful mission. then swimming. i went out with steve first, because everyone else are huge dicks. and just the way that the lake is laid out, its like a 15 minute walk through waistish deep water to get to the actual deep part, which kind of just drops to like 890435 feet deep water. and that wasnt too bad, the only problem being that there was a strip of like land / seabed that was just COVERED in zebra mussels. and this was my first time with them, and i didnt know how much of a huge cock they were...they are. but yeah, we had a raft and basically spent a while just hanging out in the deep water riding waves in a small raft thing. really cool. and kyle and taylor eventually showed up once we got cold, but they were high as balls, so it was cool. also walking back to shore was basically the worst time of my life. baaaaaasically.

k so some notes, sometime during the day, we stopped playing smash / drink bros for a few minutes and broke out the ingredients for liquid cocaine. niiiiiicccccceeeeee. very few of the team had had this before and nick has had it a coupla times, and that was all that i drank at whidden. the last couple of times that i had it, the night ended up really poorly, so i havent had it in like months. everyone had a shot and theyre like "oh man, this is like the best drink that has ever existed ever!" and im like "yeah it sure is...[goes to like throw up because i cant stand the taste anymore]" but i powered through and everyone else power loved that shit. it got really rough really fast lol.

cool scene right here. most of us are hanging out on the dock, and like everyones back to beers. its pretty quiet, sunny. gooood scene. so yeah nick stumbles down the dock, like suuuper drunk and high and stuff. and its a long dock and he had a bit of trouble getting to the end of it where we were sitting. and when he gets there were all like nick you need to like sit down and drink less and stuff or youll like fall in the water. so hes like "derp im not goirng to fall in!" and he started like doing a jig and almost falling over the people that were on the dock. then something epic happened. hes like "im not drunk guys, check this!". so the dock is one of those docks where it has all of those hollow poles sticking straight up and into the ground to keep it from floating away. what happened was nirk took a run at the pole on the corner of the dock, grabbed it and did a like 360 swing trick thing. his feet actually made it, but they slipped or he didnt have enough momentum or something, so the other 90% of his body made it to the water. like face first into the (not very deep) water. it happened soooo so fast no one knew what to do at all. after he landed, we all just kinda sat there as he was lying face first in the water for a minute. it wasnt like we thought he was dead or anything, it was just that that was probably the funniest things that any of us had ever seen and we werent really sure how to respond to that situation. after like 5 seconds he got up and jumped back on the dock, completely soaked and was like "why am i arll wet? haow did i farll in the warter?!" epic. chelsea grabbed a picture of him and her or someone else took him back to the cottage and on the way back he started swinging on the smaller poles near the other end of the dock. he wasnt like running or anything, it was just like scary / hilarious because there was a humongous chance that he was going to fall in again. long story short, nirk had surgery a few days ago to realign his nose because it was like broken or otherwise not happy with him.

k so back to the actual cottage for dinner (or maybe a different reason, w.e) and ryan and kyle are just doing some pretty slow jam and we can see nirk headbanging like crazy to this thing. suuuuper good. then he lost his balance and tried to steady himself on a wall, which turned out to be a guitar case, which turned out to not be as steady as he thought, which caused him to very hilariously fall over. he shrugged that one off and started dancing in the kitchen, where there also happens to be a step that has a sort of metal edge / tread thing, which turns out to be at least a little bit sharp. and as the easiest sequence of events that exists draws to a close, we pick up nick and take him to his bed to sleep it off. eppiiiccccc.

then shit tons more drinking, hanging out, smash bros, heart to hearts, and other drunken stuff happened. successful night.

day three was also awesome. cleaning up beers, eating, cleaning up the house, getting tfo, hitting dq in midland, getting home and showered for like an hour. gooood times

also note. pretty much like eating the ENTIRE weekend. like oh some of us are kinda hungry for lunch. then steve bone would drink and bbq stuff for everyone, which would result in everyone going that was tasty, but way more of that would be really kickass right now...which is how the whole weekend went.

also two more things. 1. tacos are sick for cottage food. like just a clustereff of everyone eating whatever they want and not very much effort went into the actual preparation. 2. fried egg on a burger with fried onions on it is siiiccckkkkk. 3. fried pineapple is SIIIIICCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK. like literally, its better than regular pineapple in every way, except sometimes they hurt your mouth. sick





part 3: some bitter stuff about working (pretty shit, you can skip if you want to)

k so i got (had) a job. as you may or may not have read or remembered, i spent most of may looking for employment. like it was waay more work and stress than a real job is / would have been. shit everywhere. but after kickass weekend (up), amber and kyle told me that that shoeless joes was actually super desperate for some dishwashers. down. so yeah that was sunday, applied on monday, got a call for an interview to happen at 8:30 on tuesday at 8:00, apparently got called saying i had the job at 8:45 (didnt go straight home), found out i had the job on starcraft at like 1030ish and first shift was wednesday at 6:00. pretty sweet i guess...i guess nothing is up.

yep, super excited for job and i got there 10 mins early, you know, being polite and showing that im a good worker and stuff. yeahhhh. i get there at 5:50 and i go in through the front door and the girl at the front was like "hey welcome to shoeless joes" and i was like "oh hey i actually work here, can you like help me out?" super awk, but thats to be expected...still okay. theres like 9 people in the store right now, including the two servers.

yep, so i get to the back and the boss was like oh well the person thats training you isnt here yet, so go sit in a booth somewhere until she gets here...wait really? no like oh hey thanks for coming in, welcome to the joes, hi, nothing. just go sit. still okay i guess, kinda weird, but w.e im employed, moneys on the way.

training was easy. heres the whole job in a nutshell: get not very clean dishes, waste water, get "managed" (the boss is a humongous cock), rinse, repeat.

shift two. thursday i called back to check when second shift was. when i called i was like yeah sup when do i work and theyre like the girl that does the scheduling isnt in, call back tomorrow. cool, i probably dont work tomorrow, i guess ill make plans to go do stuff. so i called friday at 4pm and the girl was like oh i havent made the schedule yet, call back in like 2 hours. did. 6:15ish pm i called and the girl was like, oh, youre actually working now. wait what? she like oh yeah this is actually your shift right now, come in. the fuck? i just called like 2 hours ago AND yesterday...long story short, i caved and went in. so yeah, this was my second shift, so i have no idea what im doing AND its the friday night dinner rush, really fml. needless to say, it was a ballsack of a few hours. i got told to work faster, because its my second day and its friday and im not doing that well.....yeah. and the bitch of the thing is a few days later i learn that someone had actually just called in sick for their shift and they just dumped / guilted it into me. great...this might not be the best job ever.

yeah so two more shifts. im kinda slow, but mostly because i just did the go on autopilot and get this bitch done. not SUPER efficient, but w.e. also its a good point to note that during all of my shifts, the boss only told me things like "work faster" and
"hey you need a hairnet before you can work"
"okay [theyre in his office], can you get one for me?"
"yeah just wait right there, ill get one for you"
[time passes]
"cool....."

pretty weird first two weeks of this job, but w.e i dont need more student debt, ill try to keep doing this.

so sunday im at chris/matts house playing some video games when i get a call from my mom saying i should call shoeless to talk to the manager. hmmmm. did and the boss wasnt there, so i talked to the new supervisor, who had been there for one week (one being less than two (this dudes okay tho...hes not a huge penis)). hes like yeah so its been decided that its in the stores interests for us to part ways. wait, really?! i was blown away. like arent you guys super hard for employees that dont hate you? plus like ive had 4 shifts, including training, two fridays and the stanley cup final. you think you can make a good call about this? i actually didnt say much of that tho, just like the shock and awe stuff. i REALLY hated that job and im pretty sure that i would get kicked out of my house if i had voluntarily quit...it was actually kinda nice. i think.

f it.

but yeah. ive officially been fired from a job now. cool.

but some notes on the actual firing, i did some texting and it turns out that the same day that i got fired, two of the servers walked out and within a few days kyle (and probably more people) got laid off (fired). kinda badass.





part 4: some notes before i wrap this bad boy up.

yeah so new band that is super awesome called cloudkicker. im not really sure if theyre actually new, but w.e, give them a listen. pretty progressive, really really badass. like do it. all of the music is free too, so thars no reason not to lol
do the ]]][[[ album first. % is super sick
http://www.myspace.com/cloudkicker



speaking of super sweet bands, the american dollar will be doing its first canadian tour in like 2 weeks
aside from some other dates that are semi nearby, they will be in TO on tuesday june 29th and wednesday june 30th in hamilton at casbah. everyone is expected to be in attendance. ESPECIALLY for the one in hamilton. its one bus away from mac and its super convenient and its going to be THE BEST. like seriously. maybe some drinks at chez steve / others lol. DEFINITELY be there. like be there.
also be at the show in TO. ill probably make a couple of obnoxious facebook events so that everyone knows about this stuff. be there.



yeah and i might have talked about this a little earlier, but like last week or two weeks ago i went to buffalo with tim...pretty much just to get a (two) double down...for those unfortunates that still dont know what that is, click somewhere around here. yeah, i actually had two and they were the BEST things that i have ever tasted. like not even joking, the BEST. it was a greasy taste explosion in my whole body. like not even in my mouth...alllll over.

also im pretty sure that i havent felt worse than i did about 10 minutes after the completing the meal.

woooorrrrtttthhhhhhh iiiittttttt



also it looks like im officially at 7 subscribers. really awesome. so thanks to peter kim for doing the sub thing SOME time ago, sick...also anyone else who is reading this now, or reads it regularly should probably subscribe too

*cough*


yeap and speaking of peter kim, its looking like funtimes in the hammer this weekend. so anyone who cares should come hang out...and also (and especially) at the american dollar concert. yeaaahhhh. EDIT: ditched that weekend lol, but come to the concert



also since im technically a blogger, i should probably do some sort of like keep everyone posted on entertainment or something. k. mmvas were today (sunday lol) and miley cyrus probably did something slutty (edit: its like tuesday and im 99% sure that she did). also a bunch of "musicians" won "awards". yeah. thats it for entertainment news...hopefully forever.



also for the nerds out there, go here
http://www.youtube.com/user/TeamFourStar
its dragon ball z, recut and dubbed over. the first couple arent THAT great, but once it gets going, it gets friggin going. really good stuff right here.



also one more little story before i go (this might turn into a post, but hopefully not and these things are kinda cool). so last friday (the one like a week after i started my post) i hit the VI. aside from the obvious awesomeness that comes from this, theres two things that i want to talk about. ONE was that i met a dude in the washroom and i convinced him that he was my reading buddy when i was in grade 1. yeah i know right? like we both entered the bathroom at the same time and when i was waiting to use the sink, i was like "hey so this might be weird, but i think you were my reading buddy in like grade one or something" and he was all like "the fuck? i mean i mighta been", then pulled out "did you go to w h day as a lad?" and he goes "yeah i sure did", which causes me to say something like "checkmate" or "f yeah", and more convo that i cant really remember happened, and but it ended in me actually convincing him that he was my reading buddy from like 15ish years ago. and i saw him a couple more times that night and every time he was like HEY MAANNN and i was like NO WAAAYYYYY. awesome.

part 2 of this is that when drunk im still basically my same awesome self. as in, i joined a blues band when i was there lol. like a year ago, when i was still trying to get into jazz programs (before i came to my senses) i went to this 'learn jazz weekend' thing at humber and i met this dude that plays guitar that lives in bford. i havent seen him since then, but i noticed him at the vi and i was like are you that dude? and he was like yeah i think so. and we talked about how shit humber is for a minute and went on our separate ways. we met up again and hes like you play some instrument right? and i was like, yeah i haul ass at drums and he was like you want to join my blues band? hell yes i do. i already have a bunch of bands going right now, but blues is sick and i have never been in blues band before. pretty cool. we were supposed to jam today (tuesday, the day that the thing was actually posted), but im sick, so f it.



k also super secret thing. if someone from whidden hall room 247 is reading this because theres some side of beer box that his this address written on it. then way to go. i definitely lived in the c part of the room. so feel awesome if you live there now. and like shoot me a message sometime. (fun fact if youre not the person in c, i think blair lived in a and peter lived in b...or the other way around. w.e, its cool)



metal.



also yeah, sorry if anyone read that bitter job stuff. it stopped being interesting to write about halfway through but by that time it was like 145am and i wanted to get SOMETHING done tonight (tuesday, but technically wednesday). this thing is a beast




ending stuff. FINALLY.

songs
right now: skttrbrain - four tet remix of a radiohead song
on deck: whatever not doing the blog for another 40 weeks sounds like.
too much: cloudkicker. soooooo good. mostly that ]]][[[ album, but its all good. also talking heads. im not sure if that was on the lastish post, but remain in light is a kickass album.
old one thats actually pretty cool?: hmmmmmm get back to me on this. nothing springs to mind.

shots out
k so a TON of people wanted shout outs and ima try to get all of them. but i probably wont, so dont be that mad if you should be shouted out, but werent, because i forgot. my bad.

k first. friggin carol. shout out to her for being a huge...friend and like bitching me out like every day to get this bad boy done. but yeah, heres the shoutout, enjoy it because there probably wont be another one for like 3 years.

first story: shout out to jackie, sam, carol, paula and alex for supplying the house. and to their shady friends being cool and hopefully selling my ipod for more money than its worth.

second story: shout out to taylor for supplying the cottage and for sean, ryan, kyle, chelsea, amber, steve bone and nirk and i think thats it for being cool.

third story: i dunno. shout out winida for being a douche.

others that werent really in stories but needed to be shouted out: shout out amber lindsay for sending me the like drunkest texts asking for a shout out ever. and for apparently getting me suuuper hammered at that first storys house.

shout out to angie for leaving for 8 weeks right now, pretty badass. and ima clump doug, doug, smart and elly into one. just for being cool i guess. shouted out in teh lamest way possible lol

thats all i can think of off hand. ship me an angry facebook message if i missed you






k. done. so this has taken 10 days. and its finally done. f EVERYBODY. this took way too much time. im going to try to post more, but i have more of a life in bford than i did / do in the hammer, so its hard to get this stuff done.

for future reference, the post went up at about 12:30 am on tuesday, june 22 (TECHNICALLY wednesday). not like the 10 days ago that blogger says.

yeah. gg.

2 secs

sorry guys exam season.
ill do one on like monday or tuesday night.

right now is study time tho...




"i sank their battleships...and their whales"

1 sec

hey guys yeah im not going to do a real blog for a few days. stuffs not that great right now.
ill hit you back tho. just gimmie a minute

the post you might enjoy. aka youtube ads work sometimes aka. sometimes i forget how fucked the internet is

yeah, so i know ive been a little stingy on the blogs recently. heres the apology one, its pretty full. shell probably be a good time...dont count on quality grammar tho. i dont care that much.

ill start off with important steve news. ive started writing the post at 1037pm on saturday and i am currently kind of sick. cough, bit of a sore throat, not much to write home about yet...sunday at 412pm, feeling worse. math test yesterday could have been much worse than it was. i actually knew how to do / got answers for about 2/3s of it, which was super shocking, etc, etc.

k now that we have the boring stuff over with, it is crucial that you to THIS website for a sec, or else the next few paragraphs arent going to make very much sense. browse around, take in all of the sites and sounds. take your time. also ps, its 100% legit. (also some of you have probably heard about this before, if you have, just act surprised and like this is revolutionary)

(you might have to make a profile to make it work. like put in a random email and age, etc, its cool (if you feel weird putting your email into cougarlife.com try using xxxx5520@mail.scdsb.on.ca, where xxxx is the first 4 letters in your name. if it doesnt work, try like 3520 or 4520 or etc, it will eventually work out (actually do it, this is important))).
also use L8S 4M6 if you dont want to use your own postal code...its macs lol















ill leave some space so that you dont accidentally read the next part and be spoiled











yep



















legit. so while watching how to math videos on youtube with tyler, we came across an ad on youtube for this obviously legit and not creepy at all cougar life website. yessir, watching how to like do double integrals or something gave us this ad. HAD to do it. so we made a fake account (like im hoping all of you have done by now) and looked around and we were like omfg, no way, and more of the usual disbelief stuff. then we turned it off and went back to math studying, that was way too ridiculous; so many old ladies, so much throw up in my mouth, lets get back to math, i gotta pass this.
about 12 seconds later, we were like "yeah we need to make a legit one" and when i said we, i meant like yeah just make a profile, and when tyler said we, he meant you steve. nailed it. i guess im a sexy cub now...thats what my plan has been all along.

so there are two key things that you need to know about this one.
1. there is a >0% chance that i might go through this. if a sexy older lady comes to me with an offering of a homecooked meal and a gentle first time, i wont have very much of a choice. i would of course bring bear mace and probably a support team, but it might happen. i really really really hope it doesnt. that would be the worst.

2. this ones way more depressing. its tuesday at 218am , i made the profile on like thursday evening and i dont have any messages, no flirts, no anything. im not sure if you can imagine it, but do you know what this sort of thing does to your ego? like im probably going to go start doing P90X or something tomorrow. thats soooooooo rough.

friggin cougars. theyre just put off by my raw sexuality.

that must be it.



NOTE
just in case youve gotten this far and you dont think that this is messed up. the moral of this story is that this is a website where older women go online and put pictures of themselves from like 5 years ago when they were less fat than they are now, then call themselves cougars and then go and scam on guys from the internet. like a normal cougar would do, except this is a lot more personal and therefore better. bruuuuuutal*.

also little fun fact about this, theres like 20 cougars under the age of 25 in my area too...there must have been a miscommunication somewhere. or there are some girls with some sound life plans. either way...



lots of other adventures too. solid campfire time on friday night. pretty big group of us went to that northern wooded area that i guess still exists up there. yeah so we did the like hang out and do the weed / drink or whatever you do thing. umm banjo and amir and maybe ilyia (/sp?) knocked over a dead tree. that was cool. smores too. theyre actually really tasty. like i had no idea. theyre legitimately good. and friggin carol kept taking my like cooked marshmallows. or something to that extent. cant really remember. friggin dick lol. and by like 3/4 of the way through it looked like we were going to have a nice injury free time again, but friggin banjo got a branch to the face when he was trying to pull some wood (lol) into the the pit area... cut his tongue moderately bad. also like later on we decided to throw the middle of the dead tree into the fire so that it would split easier, which to intelligent teens (mostly ilyia) means that you have to try to balance beam across the tree across the fire. oddly, there werent any other injuries...and that kid was really drunk. fairly miracle-y.



also res drinking saturday night too. really good time. so yeah went to bahis (/sp?) room and there was some major beer pong action going on. so yeah did the hang out for a while thing, then a game with ahmed...and im actually really fantastic at this game. like its not even a contest. we squared off against shashir and this other dude that i had never seen before. shit was on. longish story short (im writing this part near the end of the blog and im very tired), we did 6 or 7 games. and we lost mooost of them. it was cool like ahmed and random guy were both good, like they were fairly even with getting stuff in and shashir and i were both bad, so it balanced out. there was one time where ahmed got a shot in that bounced off of one cup, off of one of the washing the ball cups and into a legit one. it was cool...thinking about it i dont think we won that game lol. basically this went on until everyone except for us had left, then like another half hour passed and we finished. then there was some chatroulette and hanging out in the third floor common room. which is sweet. like third floor common room is where its at. its quiet...and has other qualities. but yeah did that, hung out there for a friggin while. then randomly hung out with steph in the second floor common room for a while. goood time. also sleep was nice too lol.


also also the roomies and i spent a lot of time on chatroulette / omegele last night / i did a lot today. thats really creepy stuff. like between this and the cougar life im pretty much set for creepy for a while. it was weird, like we just randomly decided to go on and like 3 hours later i was super tired and had seen like 987343409101 dicks. like i have seen so many dicks in the last like 24 hours (no homo) its...actually i dont have a finish to that sentence...ive seen too many at this point. its sooo frustrating, every time i do new convo then move slightly away from the keyboard - even if its for a second - a dick shows up. eg: i close a convo and look over to see who blairs talking to. this lasts 2 seconds and when i go back to my screen, theres a really creepy man with a really depressing life on the screen. there was other stuff too. like in several hours on this bad boy ive had 2 good convos with people, ive seen 1 boobs, a bunch of people where the screen is really black and you can barely see their face (creepy) and a handful of emos, which were funny. and im pretty sure that i saw john lajoie and justin bieber and mystery guitar man online too. but one of them was probably a dude with a cool beard and the other one was probably just some douchey kid and the other one was a guy in sunglasses. the sad thing tho is that i spent like 3ish hours going between chatroulette and omegle video chat last night (not the sad part) and i went on like 3 different times today. like im on right now...probably getting jacked off at. not cool.

like how do you decide to go jack off in peoples faces on the internet? thats seriously fucked up. a lot.

also JUST learned that there is a chatroulette for mcmaster. that can only end well for everybody.

god damn the internet is messed up**.



not done yet. go to this site
http://therewillbebrawl.com/episodesEpisode1.php
some of you have probably heard of it...i doubt that many of you will care about it...its super rockin. if youre into this sort of stuff lol.



k now im done i think



songs
now: ulysseys - the franz. good band
on deck: whatever itunes wants ;)
on deck thats not really creepy?: prolly some bloc party later on
too much: doing a lot of radiohead recently...but its cool because theyre the best

shout outs
oh jeeze theres a bunch
k shout out jackie and sam first. way to go for doing what you do? jackie for not being here on friday and sam for legit being here and doing the bonfire thing on friday lol.
im pretty sure there was some more...let me know
oh shout out sarah im pretty sure. for being super loud at like 1am all the time?

k and really cool shout out
so ive been told that more than like just matt and carol read my blog. thats actually really sweet. like shout out all of the people who have recently started reading it, or have read it forever or anyone else out there. like if youve made it this far in the post thats pretty cool...id probably quit by now. yeah so way to go (Y)



in case youre still wondering how sick i am. its like 2am on tuesday (monday night) and im preeetty sick. but im gettin this out. because thats what matters right now. sleep and recuperation are for the weak.

on an unrelated note, i had to cut this one short, im reaaallllyyyyy tired. there might be a deleted scenes post sometime soon. probably not...but maybe

metal...sleep now






















*also known as the internet



















**hey everyone, when youre done reading the post, you should go check out 4chan. that place is really cool!

so dont have a name for it...umm st patricks action sack?

nice

no apologies for lack of anything ever.

solid.

im good, ankles mostly better, just did a physics test that may or may not have gone well. not sure

but yeah im pretty sure that stuff has happened since the last legit post. whatever. i dont really have a game plan for this one. but lets go do one anyways.


so yeah ill start this off with a little fun fact that you may or may not know. i actually love the last post. a lot of you might have hated it, because of the less than like 19 pages of blog that it was, or because of the adult themes (drinking, meshuggah), or because it kinda sucked, but i really love it. like i dont really remember writing it and the next day i was like "oh man, champ. also i guess i look emo today". and i dunno, its fun. it like also reminded me that writing super long posts is way better than like 3 paragraph posts, like bloggers are known to do. like if this was a regular blog, this post would probably be done right now. and its not, so enjoy this right now. . . but yeah, i enjoy the last post.

brutal

so some of you that are super out of the loop might have been confused by the "also i guess i look emo today" part of the last paragraph, there was a bit of st pattys adventure action.

yeap. one thing that ive learned at mac is that on st patricks, people enjoy drinking at like 8am or other super ridiculously early times, which was hella convenient, because i was in class until like 730pm, so yeah good start. but that didnt really matter because once i got back, friggin everyone in life was drinking. like the common room was completely full of people drinking. super amazing. like it was full of people clearly drinking and having a lot of open liquor everywhere. so did that. it was st pattys, so i figured i would do liquid cocaine, which is a delicious mix of jager and goldschlager. like i figured that the jager bottle is green...and so is ireland...so it should work out pretty well.

yessir, double fisting jager and goldschlager, good time right now. then i went with most of the common room to some beer pong / flip cup stuff. good times, i didnt beer pong, or do very much cup flipping, but like drinking anyways, so it was cool. alllso, when i left i was walking back to my room and one of the CAs bitched me out for having bottles of liquor. it was so dumb. like people have been drinking in public all day. f that.

cool, so i checked out what shirley, jackie, sam, miranda and etc were doing / hang out with them. yeah so drinking more, and more people, then theyre like yeah coots is cool, lets go do the cootes thing. w.e, im drunk, thats sweet.

also it may have been around this time (probably not tho) that i got my hair straightened. again. i dont really remember it happening, and im not really sure why it happened, but like w.e. i was drunk enough to make decisions that i regretted later on. thats always a good excuse for anything. . super brutal. i looked super emo and my TAs made fun of me the next morning. gooood stuff.

yea, so drinking in like this swamp or something area that apparently exists like right beside res, whatever, cool stuff. i definitely didnt know that it existed. then we hit rams head...wasnt really counting on it being fun, or a good time at all, because that place is normally super balls. but yeah, we did that like up chickens drinking game that they did one time on the office and i a couple sips of my first ever green beer. it was cool stuff...i really cant remember if it was in any way better than a regular beer...im guessing that it was.

so the rest is kinda blurry. i remember having miranda trying to help me like look cool while at the bar or like how to like dance or sway or SOMETHING like that. cant remember very much. i definitely know she was like yeah just try swaying to the beat, and dont move your head very much. definitely cant remember much. good effort tho, i appreciate it...i was just too drunk and awk...probably more of the second one tho. im also pretty sure that i had some conversations with at least 2 people outside. i cant really remember, i think i talked to some chick about music for a bit. uhm she might have been like 25+, but thinking back, i really cant remember her face at all. as of right now, im sold that i talked to a blur.

whatever

by the time that we left, it was just carol, paula and i and we somehow got to this super random house party. definitely cannot remember very much of it...i think some dude was talking to dianne about shit. like how good it is to shit, or how much he shits or something. not great.

then carol and i walked back and according to the last post, we had some sort of heart to heart convo. yeaahhh, not really sure about that one. it probably was super rockin. i remember i think i tried piggybacking her for a minute...probably ended poorly.

then we got back and apparently i saw katie and took some pictures. sure. then did that last blog.

so yeah, did that, aced the programming lab the next morning while looking nice and emo. good stuff, go team. also i saw banjo a bunch of times doing like serious essay stuff, while everyone was having a good time. looked pretty lame...but way to have academic integrity?

alllssssoooo i just learned that the physics test that i thought i did not too poorly on actually pooped on me. so so much for my already outstanding average. thats cool...and on an unrelated note, if anyone wants to do a lot of liquor right now, im super down. and on an even more unrelated topic, get ready for forgetting all about your troubles with steve on friday. calc is more than likely going to make my bum larger than a watermelon... so yeah, get prepared.

also plus adventures to york on saturday. not too too much to report on. angies house was doing this like "last party ever" thing, which was a pretty big deal, so they had a very large amount of people over and a dj that was playing friggin drum and bass and dubstep and all of that rave etc that kids are into nowadays. it was actually sweet, like i love drum and bass. and i missed the rave the night before, so i got a bit of that sort of stuff in. also it was a york party, so there were obviously sketchy people there. i guess i didnt miss that much...but yeah, hung out there for a while, then hung out at toris, which was also really good, it was pretty quiet by the time that i got there, but w.e it was still good. sweet parties / night overall.

i do want to do a special announcement about alcohol to the kids / concerned people that may happen to read this here post.

remember how i said on st patricks day i was double fisting jager and goldschlager and it was amazing? well at angies, the plan was to do that again, but i was offered a cup to mix the stuff in, just to ease things up a bit. reallllyyyy bad call. liquid cocaine has a really large tendency to taste worse than death when its mixed improperly. this time, it tasted worse than what it would have tasted like if i threw it up. seriously. like it was worse than that time that i mixed southern comfort and JD. and that was terrible. up until 2 days ago that was the worst thing that i had ever tasted. but yeah, getting back to the point, if you choose to drink liquid cocaine, for your own good, please keep them in their respective containers until youre about to drink them. and when you do mix them, only mix like a shot or two at a time, so that youre 100% sure that you have the same amounts of the liquors.

seriously, i have a bottle of it in my freezer that has had more action as an ice pack than it has as a bottle of liquid ladies man. nooot good.

im moderately (a lot) still drunk from festivivities

lol right....

oh hey...whats going on?

me? not too much. you know, living life and stuff. not too much.

you been good? thats good. ive been kinda busy lately...school and whatnot.

where have i been? wait are you saying that its been a month since the last post? oh jeeze i had no idea, i been at school. and home for reading week i guess. and school for a long time as well.

hmmmmmmm

yeah man so im just going to pretend like i havent not posted in a month. like that last one was so darn good i figured youd need a minute to recover...lets go with that

anywaaayyyysssss

so yeah like probably was saying, ive been doing a lot of school. like going on adventures, then blogging about said adventures takes a lot of time. time that i dont really have right now, because i would like to get back to mac for year 2.

also there will probably be a lack of decent grammar again. im writing this in like sections where i have some free time. also continuity errors. you can probably count on those

at least some things wont change.



alright enough apologies.



strap in.



so as a couple of you have noticed, steve is now "plus 2 to casts" or something to that extent, and im betting that a lot of you are wondering why.

on saturday night i went to this already in progress, semi legit bonfire in this forest that turns out to be right beside campus. i had no idea. its pretty nice.

so i met paul and cassie and we trekked down this like icy like dirt road / hill to this like fire pit area thingy where katie, banjo and tomas were already like hanging out / making smores and having a good campfire time. as we arrive i noticed some bandits who just robbed a bank were about to hurt some puppies and other small animals. i had to step in. so i ran at them and kicked all of their asses. but i actually kicked their asses like too hard, and i rolled my ankle when i was curbstomping one of the dudes on a log and i sprained it.

thats definitely what happened. . .

we also saw some deer and banjo had one like half run at him. pretty successful mission

so when i got to my room like 2 hours later i was relieved to learn that the area around that bone that sticks out from the side of your foot had grown to like 5 times its normal width. and i had thought that i hurt myself. silly me.

so yeah next morning i got efrt to escort me to the hospital because she was starting to hurt a buttload. long story short: i got to spend my afternoon in the hamilton ER waiting room. gooood times. i still maintain that hamilton is suuuper sketchy. and that im in the wrong program at mac. those nurses were friggin hot. but i engineering probably has some perks that i havent discovered yet...at least i hope so.

so longer story shorter, its tuesday at 12:33am (basically monday), i have crutches, my foot has a large bruise running down the side of it and my foot is really swollen. and as peter put it so well, it looks like i have a cankle on one of my feet. good stuff. bonus: its now 1:07 am and i just noticed that my toe is starting to bruise. gooood stuff


slash. im going to cut this one kinda short, so that i can get it posted, i feel kinda bad. ill do some more stuff tho


yep, so heres a steves patented report on: Dirty Dogs saloon / goodtimes adventure spot.

what this means to the casual reader is that like 2 weeks or so ago i went to a country bar. in hamilton. and, most importantly, it was sleazier than the VI. i know, i didnt think that such a thing could exist. but it does.

so yeah i went with carol, jackie, sam, miranda and her bf to this country bar in the downtown hammer. and im not talking the semi legit hess area thats sort of nice and only moderately sketchy, i mean like super downtown. it was really rough. so yeah downtown hammer, good start.

i guess one of the common themes in country bars is having girls dancing on the tables and bar and stuff and having a mechanical bull and other classy stuff. its probably a good thing...not really here as much, but i can see it being a good time in a legit bar in a legit city, and this is hamilton, so thats not happening right now. gooood times

but yeah we get inside and in my fairly inebriated, glasses needing state i go "oh damn thars some chicks dancing on the bar, ill do a closer inspection". yeaahh bad call. some girls were hot, most were old or fat or a delicious combination of the two. i got another drink. nailed it.

after receiving the drink i took a lean on the bar (looking out) and i did like a once over of the scene. it was cool. remember when i said chicks dancing on bar / tables? that means that there was going to be a large population of those creepy guys that stand on the outside of the dance floor and just like peer in looking at chicks. also remember when i said that this was downtown hammer and that most of the chicks were fat / old?

this was a good crowd.

and what happened was i honestly spent most of the time there just people watching. it was amazing. i had never seen such a crowd of like super sleazy guys and generally not very attractive older ladies getting hit on by said guys before. im not even kidding, i spent most of time just people watching. more than once i was one of the creepy guys that stands on the outside of the dancefloor, but i was watching alllll of the people on the inside and giggling really hard to myself. sooooo good. like i basically carried around a cup of ice so that i could hold the cup up to my face so it wouldnt look like i was some random guy laughing by himself on the side of the bar.

but yeah i guess that wasnt really a review. whatever. i give dirty dogs drinking depository a "you should definitely go". i dunno, i really enjoy people watching sleazy people.

ill probably go back...


and also right after reading week i got a fairly large shipment of american dollar stuff. fuuckkkinnggg sollliiiddddd. you should definitely listen to them.


also what really happened is when i got to the firepit area, i jumped and tried to bounce off of a strategically placed log and the ground that had been raised beside it, but the ground turned out to just be a bush or something that resulted some ankle rolling. not really fun.

songs
right now: harvest - opeth. ima try to get into these guys. my life isnt as progressive as i would like it to be
too much: too much to choose from. ive been listening to meshuggah alive a lot. its solid. definitely not as much american dollar as i should be
on deck: lets do amdoll atlas / from the inland sea. good band

shout outs
oh jeeze i have to do a lot of these.
kay
so
ill start with the efrt dude that drove to/from the hospital. the dude was super legit, plus shouting out a like essential services guy make me seem more legit. good stuff

backlogged shout outs
lets see...i think i said id shout out jackie and probably miranda and sam as well. good times drinking and bar actioning. go team, way to go
i was also supposed to shout out katie and sarah for being lesbians again, but that was like a week ago, so im not sure how thats going. anyways, way to go
i should probably also shout out doug because apparently stuff and rabbits is back up. i dont believe it. and hes got twitter. thats very...cool of him. way to go

and ill be back pretty soon with another post. this blog isnt going to pull a stuff and rabbits on you guys. lol

and ima leave this with you guys. if you like having your mind blown, id recommend checking it. youll probably be surprised. i was.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eafiz11hW9s

whats even more mind blowing is that this is from 1989. yeah.

also shout out susan. mostly for berating me into doing another blog so i could shout her out in said blog. good stuff sir...but naw shes cool. dont hold that against her if you were planning on doing that

k so that should do it. pretty short one, probably wasnt that great either, but w.e. 2 minutes in sort of heaven is better than 1 minute in sort of heaven.






cool






alwaaays i want to be with you and make believe with you and live in harmony, harmony, oohh loove

jeeze my life is shady

so i think that im having shadiness thrust upon me.

let me explain.

did any of you see the movie click with adam sandler, the walken and mr hoff? i doubt you did, but let me do a brief overview of it, so i can link back to my thesis. so in the movie adam sandler gets this remote control that can like speed up time and etc. one of the features of said remote is that he can speed up sections of his life that he doesnt really enjoy: family dinners, working, foreplay with the wife, etc, so that he doesnt have to consciously do them. so the remote has a ANOTHER feature that makes it learn what you like to do / dont do and it automatically speeds up time for you so you dont have to. then it goes out of control and adam sandler wakes up fat and etc.

heres the overlap

ive done a coupla shady thing lately (rave, others from mr blog) and now im having shady things thrust upon me without my consent. like i was happy to go to the rave and etc, like i chose to be shady for those nights and do that. now its sort of falling into my lap

so 2ish days ago i get a mysterious friend request on msn. its from an address called "calandrawrigley5037@thahotmail". im like. hm maybe this is someone that i know, ill start an msn chat with them.

Jan 31 Part 2: The Shadiest Steve Has Ever Been Revisted

kman part dos of the post from earlier

also forgive the lateness, this was a hell of a post to write. like i wrote this bad boy in like chunks. super brutal.

also please pretend like there is good grammar in this one. theres going to be some rough parts. i promise.

so this part of the post is just going to be a retelling of the evening of jan 30, 2010 and some hours the next morning

yeah

go

yeah so she started off pretty good, i didnt go out the night before, i got plenty of sleep, woke up at like noon or 1. good start.

pretty easy day, grabbed some food, watched some seinfeld, did some homework, etc. easy

so the plan was to go to TO with the mac crowd, meet up with ruth and shawn, see the rival boys play, remeet the mac crowd at a rave, get some cheques for my landlord later on from ruth, back to mac. no problem

obviously thats shady, but it doesnt sound THAT shady.

it started off well. there was like 9ish of us and we were going to meet at 630 in front of whidden and get to downtown hamilton to grab the 730 bus to the TO. we ended up leaving whidden at like 710, but it worked out. the hsr to downtown was just pulling into the stop as we got there and everything worked out perfectly. we waited like 1 minute for the go to TO and it was cool.

were sitting at about an 8.5 out of 10 right now. i didnt bring gloves, because i wasnt sure about the conditions (coldness vs shadiness) and we did some light running, but everything else was good. not much to ACTUALLY complain about.

k right on so we arrive in TO. im not really sure where theyre going and as far as i know, im meeting my sister her bf shawn at union. so i part ways with the group and try to get my way to a good meeting point. so i texted ruth to text me when shes near, so that we could grab a streetcar / subway to lees palace for the concert. so i sit around union station for a while and catch up with some of the locals. which means i grabbed a seat and didnt make eye contact with anyone. i texted ruth with a where are you? and she was like were close to yonge. so i proceed to yonge, which was actually a lot harder than i thought. i forgot that the bus depot (the easternmost part of union station was the part that went onto yonge and that the bus depot and the like main concourse area was not the bus depot. so i walked to like bay street, then west over to university and got like locked out of like some of the buildings / walkways, so i had to walk through this like creepy construction area. pretty shady, but still no problem. i got to yonge. 7 out of 10

its at this point that im going to point out that it was cold outside. like <-10 with wind if i was to approximate. and my ensemble was not prepared for this. i was wearing thin sweater, peacoat, jeans, shoes and no gloves. so keep this in mind.

k im at yonge and front street. ive been trying to contact ruth and i get a text "lol were not meeting you at union". solid. mission time.

i start northbound and get to like the next block and decide to subway'r. its really cold and bloor / bathurst is a loooong way away. i figure that i would have to do this sort of transit at some point or another, so its cool. a tad irked, but cool 6.8 out of 10. still rockin

so i actually got lost again. the subway actually worked out really well, it basically got me to my location, bathurst / bloor, but i got my north / south mixed up. so i was supposed to go east on bloor, but i ended up going west into korea town. long story short (lol), i got to some bar and it was cool. concert in a bit, stuffs working out, 8 or 9 out of 10.

so we hung out for a while, the rival boys didnt go on until like 1130, which meant get to lees palace at 1100, lots of time. its cool. we go to a different bar and hang out for a while. i got a beer. then more hanging out, then we went to lees. metal. 9 out of 10, 1 beer in system.

we actually lined up right behind my aunt (two of the band members are my cousins), which was pretty weird. it was cool, but it was weird.

we hung out inside for a minute, just waiting for stuff to start, pretty good. i got another beer. so rival boys are on in a minute and ive got one and a half beers in me. 10 out of 10. awesome

rival boys kicked the shit out of the show. they were only on for like half an hour or 40 mins or something, but they killed it. i rocked out on the floor the whole time. it was so much fun and they were sooo good and i dont really know what else to say about it. SO good
check this
http://www.myspace.com/therivalboys

soooooo good

it ended, we said goodbyes to the extended fam and we departed. i did some transit with ruth and shawn and broke off from them at about 1245ish. not really sure what time.

then part two

part two is what you guys really came here to see. no one really cared about "steve goes to TO and had a good time", "steve goes to a rave" is where its at.

it sure is.

heres just some more set up info, just in case youve lost track
its probably about 1. maybe. i just got off of the streetcar and am staring down three ~16 year old kids who are at a door under a sign that says the reverb (the destination). its -93210 with the wind outside and im not really dressed well, because i dont want to look like a weenie in front of the rave people and i dont want to get something weird on very many of my clothes. im feeling kinda shitty, because i kinda just ditched my sister. she didnt really want me to go to this thing by myself because its going to be super duper shady and all that stuff, but i went. because im a champ i guess. or a dick. not really sure. i just had my balls rocked off at the rival boys show. im probably going to be sore, and the rock was quite a bit of energy. im a little tired. ive had 2 beers, but theres probably only 1 that is actually in my system. i texted a few of the people to let them know that ill be there soon, because i need some codes to get me in.

go.

k so here i am. i see a sign that says the reverb over a pretty shitty looking door and some weird looking kids sitting outside. i originally would have said that they look emo, but they definitely werent. sorry. they probably were, because they were teenagers, but they were dressed like way more over the top than regular emos. as it turns out that thats the way that ravers dress. and remember, im in my rock duds: peacoat, plaid sweater, american dollar shirt, jeans and plaid shoes. these kids (and most of the other people) are in neon. its cool

so i go up to them and im like is this the rave and theyre like yeah, but youre probably not going to get in because shes at capacity right now. we decide to walk to the like main entrance when i see ahmed and hes like dude ive been waiting outside since like 1030 (its like 1 right now). so hes like fml were not getting in any time soon and he didnt have a place to stay, so he had to like wait for the rave to end. it was a pretty bad scene. so naturally we went to a bar across the street.

the bar was cool. i have no idea what it was called, or any real info on it. the bathroom was really small, but it was by NO means the worst bathroom that i saw that night. it was pretty empty, which was nice.

so yeah, ahmed and i got a beer and watched maybe like half an hour or so of the leafs game an listened to some jazz music. it was pretty solid.

yup, so we ditched the bar after like 45 mins and decided to head back to the reverb and just wait and hope something good would happen. remember its cold. so we waited outside and talked to a coupla randoms and whatnot when this security guards like you guys should be standing in line, some people are leaving, so you might be able to get in. and were like sweet! good call!. we waited in line for maybe 8 minutes and we got let in.

so the actual space that the rave was in is the second floor of the club. we walked up this really tight and dirty staircase and paid friggin $20 to get in. i was actually really pissed that i had to pay 20 dollars. i figured that it wasnt going to be worth it. i figured that.

then we got to it. upstairs. the rave.

the place was packed. it was really dark, with basically only black lights and like lasers lighting up the place. but it worked out pretty well, because the black light and the neon made like a quarter of each person was really bright. it was cool

so by the time we got inside the rave had been going on for like 5 hours, so the place smelled terrible. there was sooo much BO. like you would get used to it, but every once in a while some dude who spent most of the night givering would walk by and it would smell sooooo bad.

but yeah ahmed and i went and did the coat check thing, then hit the floor. it was nuts. people were just givering. like it was intense drum and bass music and people were just going for it. it was actually really cool

we met up with the original group of people said the whats up and happy birthdays and etc and didnt really know what to do. it was kinda awk. like ahmed and i were the ONLY people there who werent on some sort of chemical drug. like there was soooooo much e and etc (lol) happening. also i probably had like 1 beer still in my system. MAYBE one and a half, but still, i was definitely sober. definitely.

but it was cool. we were both like 'f it' and we went and actually danced. i gaver too. like most of the people i was with probably didnt notice and not many people can really appreciate what that means, but i gave the shit out of her and danced my balls off. i actually danced for like a long time. and actually danced. it was cool

but yeah the actual rave.

so basically everyone that was there was decked out in neon and tons of like bead bracelets and like synthetic dreadlocks and furry boots and shit. and soooo many girls were in like bikinis or like suuuuppppeerrrr skanky clothing. and they were all on e and stuff so i didnt feel bad for doing a bit of staring. it was sweet.

so yeah there was the really hot girls wearing super skimpy neon bikinis, the regular (?) ravers who wore like neon and other accessories, nothing overly slutty, the coupla handfuls of awk males (like myself), some miscellaneous, and more than a few scary older men. like these guys were friggin creeeeppyyy. like VI old man creepy, but with more chemical drugs and more (actually) hot girls in skimpier clothing. it was rough

while im on this subject i would like to make special mention to the creepiest / scariest man that i have EVER seen in my life. so you bar goers (at least the VI goers) know that theres always the obligatory creepy dude with a beer standing at the side of the dance floor staring into the crowd with a beer in his hand, right? this particular dude was like that. but not quite. the dude was probably like 50. he might have been younger, but like it definitely showed that he did some lots a drugs and his body wasnt too happy with him. he his hair was visibly thinning, at about shoulder length and it was died a very obviously not real red colour. like it wasnt ginger colour, it was more purply. dude was short, not much else to say about that. overall, he looked like ronnie james dio and carrot top had a very old baby. thats probably the best way that i can put it. but you might be thinking to yourself, steve thats kinda weird, but come on thats the CREEPIEST guy youve seen? and youre right. ordinarily i wouldnt really give a second thought to this. but there was one other factor here. it was probably like 2 or 3 and the dude was leaning or the bar, watching in the crowd...and he was holding a lolly in one hand. now, i dont mean like a sucker, i mean like a lolly. like its 3 feet in diameter and i looks like it was made by rolling a like candy string up in a circle and its usually worn by 4 year old kids in the 1950s who are wearing like sailor outfits. a lolly. the dude was just holding it staring into the crowd. i really didnt know what to do. im not really sure how i can explain this dude so that you can fully grasp the creepiness. just take my word for it. and get the FRIG out.

i just wanted to make special mention of that. sorry readers. but that was one of the most memorable parts of my night.

so yeah did some dancing, did some awk standing around, some more dancing, more awk standing around, grooved to that drum and bass, etc, etc. pretty good.

and just in case you guys were wondering about this, songs in raves dont actually end. most of the songs that they played played the chorus at like fourteen times. and when the djs get tired of playing that chorus, they just blend the song into a different chorus. and by different chorus, i dont mean like a different song, i mean like the same exact beat, but with a different vocal loop going on over top. you know, a different song. that was cool. like literally, at 330 they said that they would do one more song. and the thing ended at 430. and right after the "last" song started this fatish dude that had devil horns and (probably) red makeup just stood on the stage with his arms spread wide. he stood there like that for like half an hour. like he just stood there. it was really weird. i would try to dance for a minute (i was SOO tired at this point) and id look up and hed just be standing there with his arms out. i guess he was like a dj and he was just doing a like "yes, yes i made this, enjoy it" sorta thing. it was kinda weird.

so yeah its 430 and the last song is FINALLY over. i am EXHAUSTED. ive been rockin and dancing all friggin night and im super ready to do some sleep.

we get out. by now its like 5am, nothings open, most of my crew is still at least kinda high and im still sober. and really tired.

so this is where the reader will need to recall a key bit of information from earlier. its really really cold and i am super under dressed. its going to be really rough until the buses start going again.

we go to this super shady all night convenience store across the street and do the snack, then get kicked out of the store for being rowdy teens thing then head down queen. we are currently at queen and bathurst and the plan was to mission to union station and get back to mac. i also had to pick up some cheques from my sister that i had to give to my landlord. so that means that i also had to get to queen and woodbine, which is basically across town. again.

cool

we end up at a subway. it was the best thing friggin ever. it turns out that the dude was like about to close and like 9 kids who were like high and really irritating walked in like right before he was going to go to sleep. he was really really pissed.

it tasted delicious btw.

so at this point, weve done some walking and i am frozen. like past frozen. it sucked.
i have no idea how the other people were doing it.

yeah

so we went to mcdonalds and the people did the ol 6 am joint time, which was pretty sweet, because that really just meant more outside time.

we keep walking and i realize that these guys are near where they want to be, so i jump on a streetcar that happens to be rolling by and say my goodbyes (yelling "omg the streetcar! ill be back in a bit!"), and apparently like everyone thought that i like randomly ditched them. solid

yeah, so i woke my sister up and got the cheques and headed back to union. alllmost done.

the train ride was actually really solid. like i didnt have to wait at all, i just got on and headed back. good times.

obviously i went to the top floor of the train. and there was maybe 5 people including me. and my second most favourite character of the night. it was some dude with a very large mohawk, who had obviously been partying all night and he was listening to dallas green very loudly on his ipod like speakers. it was sweet because he was dressed all "punk" and etc and he was listening to city and colour. it made me laugh a little.

anyways tho, the music really pissed me off and i spent the rest of the ride in the like middle floor area, trying to keep myself awake. shes a good time.

theres a bus that does a connection from the train station that takes you to the go station in downtown hamilton. it also does a stop that is technically close to mcmaster. i actually missed the stop, because i figured the dude would just stop, but he blew by it. i was this close to getting to go to sleep and now im on my way to shady downtown hamilton. cool.

i actually got a bus back pretty quickly, like the buses were on my side that day. i got back, faced with only one more challenge. i brought my backup wallet, which doesnt have very much space / stuff in it (in case i lose it) and which also didnt have my keycard that would get me into whidden. it didnt dawn on me until like right as i got to the building how dumb of me that was. it was 930 am on a sunday and friggin NO ONE is out at that time. i had to wait in the like entrance way. boo. i think i only waited for like 5 mins tho, it was sweet.

then i got back to the room. soooooo nice. i intentionally made a lot of noise so that i could tell my roomates what time it was (it being 930). it was a really good feeling, not going to lie.

then sleep

awwwwwww yeah

i woke up at 5 pm lol.

successful mission.



go team

thats it

it is currently 222am on (technically) friday. i started this post on sunday. sorry guys that this one took so long, but she was a mission and half.

EDIT: also i forgot to talk about the floors of mr rave. they were kinda ridiculous. long story short, i stepped in more than a couple of condoms. good stuff.
