Right now, i feel like i exist on this planet for the sole reason as to be experiencing the elation that i'm going through right now. There's nothing specific that's happened. But i'm in a fucking stellar mood. Nothing isn't great. If i've got time after lawn mowing i'll post about what i've done over the past few days, cause they've been swell.
Enjoy.
Congradulations on your admission to the University of Ottawa! As dean, it's my great pleasure to bid you a warm welcome to the Faculty of Science...
It goes on from here.
If i was camping, i'd be a happy camper. I feel like there's a huge weight off my shoulders. I'd like to celebrate this, but not right yet. Tonight is all about the Aine.
That's all. I'll do a good update someday.
I am, i am, i am the luckiest.
I had sort of an off day today. Too bad. But things are picking up, even if it took untill about 2:20 to get gladness underway.
The other day, i'm at jenna's listening to thom yorke play some solo stuff. It was pretty exceptional. And anyway, i'm listening to there there getting underway, and i say to jenna, "y'know, if i could do that, i'd be set". And for a second, i smiled. But then, screaming inbetween my temples in a very solid, certain tone, i hear "but you can't".
It was sort of a shock, cause i would've hoped that deep down i had confidence in what i can do. And i might not.
Well, whatever my subconcious might be trying to tell me, i'm not going to let that slow me, cause i fucking love music, and that's really all that counts. I had a thought the other day, one of my fake conversations that i have everyday, where someone told me that i'd never be a rockstar. To that person, i said that i love music, and that i can play music, and occationally i sing along with my music, and sometimes people listen to me, and they like it. And i told this person, in my fake conversation, that as far as i was concerned, i was a rockstar.
i dont think i really believe that, but it was a nice thought.
I think this place (blog) may become a site more based on feelings and junk like that, cause i've got a new outlet for fun stuff. We'll see how things sort themselves out.
Note of interest: I've heard both arguments, and both make alot of sense, but even though i felt that windom was very very good when high, i think that i'll have to be sober for radiohead. Mainly because as of right now, i can't remember what i enjoyed so much about windom. or QanU. And when i go see radiohead, although i am wanting to have a great time there, the memory will be more important to me.
later.

I knew you'd feel the same things.

I'm doing really really well lately. Had a beautiful time yesterday. I got the "they like me, they really like me" feeling. I used that expression when talking on msn today, and i liked it, so i used it again.
City boys in first class dont know they're born.
neat.
Today, at work, i'm reading the paper, and i come across part C. Today, it's labeled the food section. And i quickly spotted the headline: "Marshmallows Ideal Campfire Treat". I found this to be funny, because it's fairly obvious. I dont know if the humour will be shared on this post, but i'll continue. The article had somewhat of a sub-headline. "For something that's basically fluff, marshmallows have made quite an impact on our lives". Well, i'd be lying if i said my life hasn't been seriously impacted by marshmallows. It was, after all, a marshmallow that killed my sister.
Either that, or my eldist sister married a marshmallow. Whichever you all feel has better timing as a bad joke.
Another headline was "Fruit and Veggie Salad Ideal for Vegetarians." I dont know how obvious this is to others, but i chuckled.
that's all folks.
"That's fucking brilliant"
Canada day was yesterday, and it was a good one. I was working from 7 till 6, and i havn't gotten much sleep for a while, so i was thinking that the night might not end up as good as hoped. Even after a bit of gin and iced tea, i was still not up to snuff. I got a drive to dan's at around 9, and had a beer. Still not feeling quite as money as i would've liked.
Dan and i got a drive part way to the alley, and when we got there, doors were locked, nobody home. We just sat on the stoop, and drank our respective drinks. Dan had himself a beer. Simon had himself some gin and iced tea, which was mixed in a mason jar, origionally used to hold spaghetti sauce.
It was after rounding the corner to queen street that things picked up. We could see the fireworks, plain and true. They weren't anything too spectacular, but they were just what the doctor ordered. Just walking, talking, and looking at the nice bright sky. It was after a few fireworks of multiple colors that i said the quote which was the second line in the post. I was smiles. We ran into a bunch of people we know while we were walking. That was pretty great.
We later ran into dave, linds, aine, carley, and nicole. Josh was with them, but he wasn't around when we were. We talked briefly, and moved on. Aine had a cool blue hat on. Actually, the hat was likely not too cool, but the look it inspired was.
Moving on, me and dan spot brian ashby. Brian was with two girls, likely around 14 years of age. We walk up, saying hey brian. He hands dan a sparkler, and we talk briefly, the two girls introduce themselves. They say "you know this guy?" Of course we respond with a comment about how we just wander around, yelling 'hey brian', and we wait till we get someone's attention. Brian leaves soon, and the girls are still there, they're not with brian. I had assumed he had a little sister or something, but no, they're tourists. And apparently, they think we're cool.
Me and dan later discuss how looking like 16 year olds ourselves made this meeting possible. We tell the girls that we're going to look for more people, and we move on. We meet up with a few more notables, a becky snow, as well as a maloney, of some first name.
When we're ready to turn back, and go see jenna at work, we come across the two girls again. This time was slightly funnier. They mention something about how they like laughing at the drunk people. Me and dan aren't drunk, by any streach, but we've had a few each. So we exchange a grin, "yeah, those crazy drunks" i say. They explain how they saw some people smoking up, and how that's stupid or something. Another grin is exchanged, i forget what i said here, but she responded with "you guys dont do that, do you?". And innitially i was going to say really sarcasticly, "of course not", but i changed mid sentance, and said "Of course we do!" She was kinda surprised by this, and responded unhappily. I brought her down another notch with the good old "maybe when you're older, you'll understand". Dan got a chuckle off that one, ditto on me for that.
I have to go back to work, i'll finish this later. It really was half an eventful night.
Okay, i'm back from work, it's 10, and i'm not doing anything tonight, but that's okay, cause i dont work friday, and i'll want to be rested for tomorrow, where i'll hopefully be under the influence of something untill late.
But yeah, when we get past these girls, and have a few laughs about how the youthful appearance of us makes us approachable to the youngins. We get to jenna's work, it's 11:00, and she tells us she's getting off soon. Her boss hears her say this, and tells her she can go then. Which is pretty cool.
We head back to the alley to get the rest of my mason jar drink, and the rest of dan's beer. There's a fairly large croud around that place. They're all out front, cause the door was locked for noise reasons. We all walk to vic park, but before we get there, me, dan, jenna, gabrielle, shannon, and lou (sp?), decide to leave. Victoria park isn't leading us anywhere, we decide. So the plan is jenna's for drinks.
I dont know if anything super worth pointing out happened at jenna's house. It was just a really really solid time, with the hanging out, and the music, and the dancing, and the frigging great company. I really should start listening to myself when i figure that i shouldn't smoke pot when i drink. All it does is slows me down. Pot when i'm sober is far better.
But yeah, it was still a great night. I wish that i could say something to imply the fun had at jennas. Pizza was stunningly good. I sang and played street spirit, which was fun to do, cause even though i'm shy about singing, i was drunk enough to sing through it, and yet, sober enough to play the notes surprisingly well. Thumbs way up for that one.
I think that's it for this post. Although i'm making another one when it's done.
Enjoy.
Dear Mr. Arsenault,

That's all. I'll do a good update someday.
There's always drinks and dancing in the rubble.
I'm sorry, i know that's a strange way to tell you that i know we belong.

Last night's show was unreal. I thought things had gone fantastically well, when i heard that windom earle was playing. Little did i know, that Q and not U would be so damn damn good. Overpassing what i thought was a pretty stellar windom set. I dont know why i dont go to these shows more often, i had a fabulous time.
Note of interest: I've heard both arguments, and both make alot of sense, but even though i felt that windom was very very good when high, i think that i'll have to be sober for radiohead. Mainly because as of right now, i can't remember what i enjoyed so much about windom. or QanU.

Wow, the video for "still fighting it" by ben folds, does absolutely nothing to discourage my love for this man. His wife directed the video. And in my opinion, it's pretty touching. Good stuff ben.

Okay, here we go. I think i'll make this short and to the point. Prince Edward Island has some of the most dull news anywhere. This is not necessarily a bad thing, since news is often bad. Pei seems to avoid the bad news sometimes, and tell us things like the flowers are coming in nice this year, or some other example i can't think of.
