No, we're out of dynamite anyway




Both times i've watched the life aquatic i cry at the end when he finds the shark. I don't know why, and tears like that are best left unexplained. My goodness i'm wierd.

I would really love to spend the next two days recording music, but for some unknown reason i commited myself to something i really don't feel like doing. I just don't understand my need to always do what people ask of me.

I like that song by snow patrol, hands open.
I can't remember the last time someone told me to listen to a song and I actually did.

One day i'm going to find my shark. When that moment comes you can all lay hands on me.

an Old Mother Dies

Quickly now

Top Five Johnny Depp Movies

1. Ed Wood
2. Blow
3. Benny and Joon
4. Fear and Loathing In Last Vegas
5. Nightmare On Elm Street

- Da Vinci Code got bad reviews. Personally, i love it when movies that are expected to make millions suck.

- Oilers are about to play the second period against anaheim. If we go with tradition oilers will lose this game if they are to win.

- I've worked 45.5 hours this week in the hot sun. and i get to work tomorrow. boo urns.

- i've fallen asleep the past couple nights watching pixies live. All muscians should watch it and learn every pixies song. it takes about 2 hours (both watching the dvd and learning all there songs).

K- peace.

My Soul Slides Away



So last night i went to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the garneau. It was a pretty cool experience. There was some really funny stuff yelled at the screen.

Also i went as Brad. Which means i stood in my underwear and skin tight t-shirt in front of a few hundred people.

All in all it was lots of fun.

I missed Church this morning cause of it though, i vaguley remember my mom waking me up. and then me falling back to sleep.

High Fidelity and Elliot Smith's Say Yes. Thats all you need.

And today, i have no plans. We'll see were fate takes me

I've Been Downhearted Baby

Its early friday morning, and its pouring rain. Here's to the hope i don't have to work a full day, cause i'm pretty exhausted, 40 hours in 4 days. Crazy

Ride the wave, and don't ask where it goes.

With everyday i work i swear more and more. I'm no where near my co workers though, its amazing how many swears can fit in a sentence.

Yesturday my friend freaked out (not on me) but he flipped out on a guy and stormed out of the room. It was the funniest thing i've seen in a long time. I don't think i'm going to thank him for it though.

Saturday night i'm going to a midnight showing up rocky horror picture show. I've never been to one. It'll be awesome.

Sunday i'm hanging out with my old buddy Liam Trimble whom i saw for the first time in 2 years yesturday, we passed each other on the street. It was beautiful. Its a great feeling seeing a friend you haven't seen in a long time.

Yesturday i was lying in the dirt during lunch break (the dirt was nice and soft) and the sun was shining on my face, and i was dreaming i was on a beach in delaware. It was glorious.

Go oilers. Beat those sharks. Even if it takes all freaking night.
