Greed is The Heart of Excess

I should be doing hermenutics right now. but i don't want to. i'm sick of school, and money and such. We got our 2007-08 school calenders though, its looking pretty good for ol Skochie boy. looks like i'll be taking 9.5 credits one semester and 10.5 the other. Can't wait to be in the music program, then i can join up with a click, we'll make t-shirts.

I went to Steph and Sarahs recital last night with brent, it was rather spectacular, there both such crazy pro musicians, i fell honoured to know them (let alone be seen with them in public)

Grindhouse comes out next week, i'm uber stoked.

I have to work 32 hours next week, which is a huge burn because i have so much paperness to conquer. stupid stupid papers.

I'm gonna try and crank out a couple pages here though. this was just to get my typing skills warmed up.

Sufjan, Suicide and Greek

Lately i feel like i'm just going through the motions of life without ever really taking enjoyment in anything. which ain't so bad, its kinda nice as far as being able sit back and examine all that is me.

the unexamined life isn't worth living. or something like that. thanks Socs

My weekend was full of seeing old friends and missing new ones; Eric Clapton and The Gandharvas; Bars and Shopping Malls; Driving in a big city and wondering around small towns; haunted buildings and spiritless houses.

I just broke stophers "i" button. he may be pissed.

And just in case we've all forgotten
always reflect on the wars you've fought in

Its all flaling limbs at the front line

So i've joined facebook, because lets face it i'm a loser, and that seems to be where loser are flocking.

Eric Clapton this weekend! which means i'm coming home for 3 whole days!

i have to work tonight, 3-11. tragic, but i need the money.

i'm in love with the song carry the zero by built to spill.

I bought nine inch nails live and neil young live a massey hall. both fantastic, although polar opposites.

I need a hair cut.

Many a time i have spent pondering the final verse in simon and garfunkel's the boxer

in a clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade, and he carrys the reminders of every bloke that laid him down or strucked him till he cried out in his anger and his pain i am leaving i am leaving, but the fighter still remains.

Shoot, Don't Talk

I have a crick in my neck. its really really annoying.

I've been watching alot of south park lately, trying to raise my political awareness. (hope you don't think i'm joking)

anybody out there remember mystery science theater 3000?

Exeter: Now place your hands above the rail
[hands suddenly attach to the rail]
Exeter: ... they're magnetized.
Crow T. Robot: And if your hands were metal, that would mean something.

Exeter: They're concentrating all their attention on Metaluna. Those flashes of light - they're meteors. Hundreds of them! The intense heat is turning Metaluna into a radioactive sun. The temperature must be thousands of degrees by now.
Crow T. Robot: Cooler by the lake.
Exeter: A lifeless planet. And yet...
Tom Servo: Rents are reasonable!
Exeter: Yet, still serving a useful purpose, I hope. Yes... a sun, warming the surface of some other world - giving light to those who may need it.
Mike: "Still, your whole family died. That's a bummer, huh?"

Carl Meecham: Relocation? To where?
The Monitor: To your Earth.
Exeter: A PEACEFUL relocation...
Crow T. Robot: After the genocide, of course.

Dr. Cal Meecham: This isn't paper. It's some kind of metal.
Crow T. Robot: Uh, no, that's paper, sir.

peace

Trapped in Amber, Petrified

So i found out today that i will not be living here next year, since 5 guys are moving out in order to live closer to the school. which i'm ok with, i liked living here, i don't look forward to having to find another place. So basements anyone?

Life seems to be slowly getting better, inch by inch with miles to go.

i watched 19 episodes of scrubs in a row.

i need to get out more.

My eyes burn

I left the house for some guitar strings yesturday. that outing was the one and only of my weekend. and i've never been happier. I've missed having time to veg and do nothing. today i've been watching scrubs.

The good the bad and the ugly is an amazing film. there was something touching about watching tuto or whatever his names was running past the thousand of graves (assumingly caused by the civil war) looking for the gold.

we cleaned our house yesturday. i love having a clean house. it so much happier. and daylight savings time makes me happy.

i saw 300 at the imax with my whole house, and a bunch of our friends, i think there was 15 of us there. sex scenes are just so superior in imax. (jk)

I claim to believe in a God who can't handle my problems.
and in the morning after the night i fall in love with the light.

And off i go

I Bleed Copper and Gold

Imagine, if your a maple leafs fan, if you lost mats sundin, or calgary if you lost jerome iginla and langkow. If your a senators fan, maybe you just lost alfredson, or for montreal if you lost koivu. or if your from vancouver, well you probably hate your team so it doesn't matter.

Maybe now you have a small, very very tiny glimpse of what Edmonton is now feeling with the loss of our favourite son. The devastation that is sweeping through my city shoots a sharp feeling of pain and sadness whenever i think about it.

So this i plead, don't make fun of us, or remind us of our loss, we're trying very very hard not to think about. Because you all must understand, we are a small northern city that does not play a large part in global affairs, and receives very little recognition for whatever it is we are doing so far north, and when our little town produces a hockey team that does well, i dare say it gives us reason to breath. And when we lose a part of that hockey team, we also lose part of our reason to breath.

Maybe thats sad, maybe its stupid that Edmontonians raised money out of our own pockets in order to keep our beloved oilers in the city back in 1998. but i guarentee you this, win or lose theres not a single person who would ever ask for that money back. I am an edmontonian, i love the oilers.

P.S. nobody is allowed to be mad at Kevin Lowe, there is no one that loves the oilers more then him, he was our first draft pick, he scored our first goal, he's been a player, assitant coach, coach and finally GM. besides, he offered Ryan Smyth 5.4. million dollars. now thats crazy.

p.p.s. my ranking of which canadian teams i like/hate has drastically changed
(from good to bad)
1. Edmonton
2. Toronto
3. Montreal
4. Calgary
5. Ottawa
6. Vancouver
odd how that worked out, not a huge flames supporter, but i do admire how they built there team.
