Time's up!
Nothing to see here, folks. But maybe in the near future something wonderful will begin to happen. Something musical. Something collaboration-al. Something within the family. Something involving the family.
Not getting the picture? Think Chevelle...

Two more months to go. But I'm starting to enjoy this time, so there's no rush.
Currently making a new "Play Softly" playlist. Only 20 songs, because that's all that fits on compact disc these days. How do you make MP3 discs? Whatever. The challenge is what I live for. It can't just be what she's heard, there has to be new stuff too. Bigger and better. Or at least just better...
Cheerio! (Six weeks = 4% cholesterol decrease...)

My Mind Is Like An Atom Bomb
Because time is short and I have a pattern to continue, I will join and leave you with this simple thought:
Today I was in the best mood I've been in for at least a year.
June's not over yet...

Hermits And Hermit Crabs
we have successfully taken this over from those who ran it previously. we are officially the post-masters now. here's to us, ladies and gentlemen. here's to the future.
things i have yet to accomplish this summer: write a short story by august, 8-10 pages long for application to creative writing course next year. make significant progress to "novel" that everybody at the CWS wants to read so much. finish AT LEAST one song, AT LEAST. paint, draw, sketch, sculpt, and all other arty things. finish Duplicity. start and finish comedic shorts avec Daniel.
what do you do when life has got you down? it's not so easy when you're told that you can always do the things you enjoy in your spare time, but then you end up too tired from the things you have to do first to actually use your spare time for anything productive. that is why my list is still so long. that is why next month, when i look back at this list, it will probably be the exact same length as it is right now.
this is a message for the me in the future: get your act together.
this is a message from the me in the future: it can't be done. you'll understand soon enough...
flashlights in the bedroom** is an excellent source for motivation. maybe i can pull something together with it's help. maybe it will be something i like better. my ring finger is short one ring. i'll have to get that back in the near future; im actually catching myself fiddling with my ring finger like there's still a ring on it.

it's 2:02, and i should be asleep. but i know that you didn't come here for my self-loathing. you came to see the human circus. it's kind of like a flea circus, except it's just me. and it's not a huge scam. i used to have collection of cartoon insects, one of whom was named "da flea". he was based on "the cheat" from homestarrunner famedom.
fame? or fortune? i'm pretty sure fame equals fortune in most cases, unless it is infamy. but looking at it now, i'm starting to think i'd rather take the fortune and just live a quiet, peaceful life somewhere far, far away. like Australia. i'll support you now, you can support me in Australia? we'll make t-shirts together and live a peaceful little existence. fair trade?
at work we have "rainforest aware" coffee, which always reminds me of fair trade coffee. it has a little, green poison-arrow frog as it's symbol. how did the poison-arrow frog become the mascot of the rainforest? what about the piranha? or the tapir? actually, the jaguar would probably be the best choice...
i don't know a lot about cars. if i were to actually get a car right now, i wouldn't have a clue what to get. probably the cheapest one. but as far as looks go, i know diddly-squat. as far as style goes, i'm living about twenty years behind. it's all about the retro. super nintendo games still blow the new systems out of the water. why do you think they can sell single game cartridges for over one hundred dollars???
i haven't been swimming in probably close to a year now. i think i'm forgetting how. i never got past the fourth badge. my mom used to sew them onto my mickey mouse towel, up in the upper left-hand corner. classic mickey mouse, like the original drawn by walt disney. steamboat willy-era. one time at swimming lessons i saw a kid who had the exact same towel. with badges sewn in his upper left-hand corner. he was about five lessons ahead of me. i wanted that lime green badge really bad. i don't think i ever had coke with lime. great commercial song though. cherry coke was amazing. i remember the commercial with the man riding the ostrich through the grocery store, making a awful mess. i also remember sitting in a tent with my cousin in his backyard; drinking cherry coke and listening to the water-buffalo song.
another proof of my deprivation of a childhood: i didn't watch/know anything about VeggieTales until grade four.

Quotation Marks For Proper Titles
Some people just won't get off my case, will they? And yes, I remember a couple months ago when I asked y'all to keep on my case. So bonus points to those few who stuck to their guns. Funny fact: now that "Paramount Canada's Wonderland" in just plain old "Canada's Wonderland" all the rides named after Paramount movies have been renamed. And not good names either. "Top Gun" is now "Flightdeck". *eshudder* I need to go to Canada's Wonderland this summer. Gotta ride "Behemoth"! Canada's biggest steel coaster? Am I right in assuming that? I think I heard that somewhere...
I remember going to Marineland once. Rachel was really really young. Like ride-in-stroller young. So it must have been at least five to six years ago. And they had the greatest roller coaster I had ever seen. "Dragon Mountain". "Canada's longest steel roller coaster". Marineland probably hates Canada's Wonderland now. Because, really, who goes to just see the belugas anymore? I feel bad for those whales. Such big animals. Such tiny tanks...
Super Battle Tank 2. David owns that game for our Super Nintendo. It's terrible - we never play it. Subsequently, that was the last game David bought for our Super Nintendo. I have a credit card now. That's not a good thing. Ebay is about to take all of my money. All of crazy rare and expensive Super Nintendo games. And Amory War comic books. And something else. I can't remember what though. And there's no stopping to think about it now...
Gotta take everything one step at a time these days. No more trying to do everything all at once. And no more doing little pieces of different things at different times either. Just one thing, finish it, then move on. Well, except for music. That's just sort of on the side. Although, I have already said many times that I do art on the side. So i suppose that would place music on the side of the side. Or, maybe that means music has gone full circle, and is now sitting on my left hand side...
Kelly Clarkson. I can still never truly appreciate her, because she was a part of that cesspool of television entitled "American Idol". In fact, she's probably one of the main reasons it succeeded so well. I can't ever truly appreciate Chris Daughtry either. Maybe if he had had the brains to at least make his group name something other than his own name. Then maybe I could have forgotten his connections to the cesspool. I need a new group name. I need disconnection from the cesspool. But the only good one's I've thought up so far are "The Jade Fragrant Methadone" and "The Tobias Project". But the first one sounds more like a song title than a group title. And the second one does not disconnect. Input?
I don't think my Mactop has an input key. What's an input key? Running out of steam. Too distracted by conversations and Kris Van Soelen. Which is never a good thing. This one did not come out quite like some of my other ones. But it's not bad. It's progression. Progression is a basic part of life. Life is an amazing cereal. Except I can seem to get the right amount of milk on it. The sogginess is never quite right, because all I seem to taste is the milk, not the cereal. It's like I'm supersaturating the Life. Chemistry was fun in grade 12. I don't know how I ever managed to get such a good mark, I was easily the dumbest one in the group. Not to mention that we distracted Miss Campbell at least once every single class. She's married now, and Mr. Templeton is coming to Guelph. Which is where I am staying for next year. Templeton is the rat from "Charlotte's Web". We got our VHS copy of that movie from McDonalds, back when McDonalds gave out movies (can you remember those times? I can. I only ever got milk with my Happy Meals. Didn't like pop, it was too unhealthy. I wish I could be more like my younger self again...) We also got "The Land Before Time". The original one. IE: the only good one. I totally called that they would eventually make one that involved an ice age. Which is ridiculous. But they did it. The new "Ice Age" movie is going to be all about dinosaurs. "Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs". I suppose Hollywood writers don't need to be very fluent in basic science or history. Maybe I don't belong there. Maybe I can bring change to that world, make it a better place. We also got "Wayne's World" from McDonalds. Excellent movie. Shame what happened to the actors though...
I think I just de-progressed a little...
