done with a porpoise (but actually a dolphin)

I was flipping through some channels and on CNN, I saw that a woman married a dolphin in Israel. What the hell? Love is literally all the dolphin has to give. Imagine at a party, "hey, where's your husband?" What is she going to say? The dolphin probably already has a dolphin wife and three dolphin children. Come on people, marrying animals? Give me a break!

anakin = sidney

Anakin is skilled and talented beyond his age. Sidney is skilled and talented beyond his age.

Anakin sits on the Jedi Council. Sidney gets an A on his jersey.

Anakin was mad that he wasn't named a Jedi Master. Sidney was mad that he wasn't named on the Olympic team.

Anakin killed younglings. Sidney killed younglings.

we ride together, we die together

Today, I watched one of my recently purchased DVDs, Bad Boys II. I think it's such a good movie, pure goodness. So good that I might even watch it again tomorrow. But I digress from my true intention of posting this blog.

Tonight was one of my friend's going away party. She's going on a huge trip with her parents, so she decided to have a get together at Squires. I've never been there, but conveniently enough, it is just across from my work (I had to work tonight too). I popped in after work and saw some people, said some hellos, and got me my well deserved after-work-drink. Most of the people there were from my high school and I knew, or knew of, most of them. Then an influx of tall guys came in and started lifting up the girls, oh they did some talking with them in between lifts. I was told that they were from the junior high era (I never went to their junior high, but have seen some of them in high school)! I just thought that was ridiculous. I was never a jock, but I was an athlete. Some of these guys were never athletes, but they were jocks. Anyways, some of us felt a little ock-word there, so we went on a stroll to the Starbucks. That was more fun than Squires, unless you love watching people try to relive their high school glory. It's so weird when people you don't really know ask you what you've been up to lately. You get that feeling that they are just asking because it's what you do, and not because they really care. I don't even know what to tell them because it's not like they knew what I was doing before (how do you define lately?).


Random, unrelated things:
  • Want to conduct a social experiment? Go observe some Christmas shopping.
  • My fastest time on the beginner minesweeper is 21 seconds.
  • I've gone out every night since my exams finished. I never go out.
  • I am looking for a girlfriend. (That one's for you Melissa!, hahahahaha)
  • I am looking harder for a motorcycle.

few things

Just a few random thoughts going on right now.

  • Jessica Simpson is pretty Mariah Carey-ish if you think about it. Just listen to I Think I'm in Love With You. Sounds like a song Mariah would've done back in the day.
  • The Triaminic Thin Strips commercial bothers me. The "mother" clam can't get the "baby" clam to take the medicine so she threatens the "baby" that she'll call the "father." What's up with that!? Two things, the "mom" is portrayed as the only one that cares (check the website and their slogan "Kids get sick. Moms get Triaminic"), and the "dad" is portrayed as the bad ass you don't want to mess with. Watch out!!!! Gender roles, comin' at cha from every side!
  • The Oilers own the Canucks. Some might say that the Oilers pwn the Canucks.
  • I want to watch: Aeon Flux, Fun with Dick and Jane, and Syriana (King Kong omission is not a mistake, even though I would marry Naomi Watts).
  • Get your DNA made into art.

maybe that's why i'm mad crazy

Today, I had a steak. Yesterday, I had a steak. The day before that, I had a steak. Oh yes, that's three days of steak in a row. That's Napoleon Dynamite style. I definitely think I take in an above average amount of steak when compared with the average population. I mean, you could probably build a sky scraper with the amount of meat iron I take in. Well, the first steak was with Angel and Shan-non (names altered to protect the identities of the innocent) at Milestones. That was cool, but most of my steaks are not from a restaurant. My papasan makes the majority of my steaks. They're not fancy or anything, just some pan action and some seasoning salt. Oh, I think my heart just stopped (and no, it's not because you walked by). Maybe I am just a Piece of Meat. Anyone want to go for a run?

======================
From Justin to Kelly is on TV, wow.

what's a douche bag?

You may ask, "mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the biggest douche bag of them all?" Well, I just found this super funny post on Pink is the New Blog. Kevin Federline (more affectionately known as K-Fed).



What you see there are custom painted brake calipers on his brand new Ferrari 360 Spider (hey K-Fed, tell Britney you want the new model, the 430 Spider). I dunno, maybe it's just me, but did he ever pick the right pot to plant his seed! Maybe he's going to sell the car to pay for child support for his other eight children though. That'd suck, nobody would want to give up those calipers!

dubs like a truck, truck, truck

You know that Gillette commercial with the guy who goes "running" and his woman starts wondering where he went because his shirt isn't wet? Why is there dubbing? Was that a commercial that was so successful in Uzbekistan and they decided to use it in North America with just minor dubbing changes? Come on Gillette, I know you're rich, make a new commercial. In conspiracy theory news, Gillette is apparently tracking me, and tracking YOU!!!!!!

narc

As in narcolepsy, not narcotics. I think I'm coming down with a case of narcolepsy during final time. I just never nap more than I do when I study! Seriously, any time of day while I study, I can fall asleep. It's pretty freaking amazing if I had to say.

gosh darnit

Today, I discovered that my Pillow Fight t-shirt has shrunken slightly. One side's shoulder part has pulled back a little, lifting the sleeve up my arm, makes me look mental. I think I can still wear it though, it's my favourite shirt! I do buy my shirts small though, so there is little room for error. Why do clothes have to shrink!? We put people on the moon goddamnit, why can't we prevent shrinkage!


EDIT: Remember my eLove blog? There is an E-Love t-shirt and I didn't even know it!

rockstar

Today I watched a show on Much More Music called When Metallica Ruled the World. It was kind of a biography type of show, but it was sweet. Those guys lived the life, the rockstar life.

=====================================================================

One of the greatest Christmas movies was just on TV, Home Alone.

=====================================================================

After a hard night at work, X & Y is a great album to wind down to. It was playing in my car and it just brought the night to a close very nicely.

=====================================================================

That is all.

n00b

Today was my first shift at my new job. It was such a change from the bird, good and bad.

Good, because it's a classy place with a real chef that cooks real food. People seem nice and introduced themselves to me (I probably met 20 different people, and I can only remember a few by name!). The bartender guy was pretty funny (most bartenders are).

Bad, because I have to start out as a busser, which I guess isn't that bad because you really don't have that many responsibilities as a busser (I can't spend time doing server training during finals!). Bad, because I feel so new there. I have only worked at the bird, and I know how everything works there. The managers know me and I feel that people respect me there! I definitely lack the confidence in a different restaurant, it just doesn't feel right. I know that it'll be better once I get to know everybody and how the restaurant works, but it just feels weird to get accustomed to the new restaurant. I also feel kind of weird because it's so high class in there. I don't want to do anything wrong because these are money-making playas I'm serving here! It's all good though, time will fix this shit.

official coolest thing ever

Some of you may know that I've always dreamed of being a mixmaster, you know, turntables and all. Living in the iPod age, Numark has unveiled the iDJ.



All I can say is "wow." If I got this, I'd have parties everyday so that I could use it. Seriously, get it for me and you'll have a place to party at everyday. EVERYDAY!!!

hey, she's hot

I'm Kirsten. That's not bad, she's the coolest former alcoholic on TV that I know. While I was doing the quiz, I was wondering who I'd want to be though. Hmmmmmmm. You do it and tell me who you are!

You scored as Kirsten. You are a perfectionist. Be weary of being too rigid and limiting your openness to varied experiences. Neat freaks are just as irrational as slobs. A half messy person is, in fact, the ideal. Optimal evolution (according to the research) is dependent on a sufficient amount of random variation and being overly regimented inhibits variation.

What OC character are you?

good gateway, good

I was just checking out the Gateway website and found an interesting feature. It's called You're so money, baby. And you don't even know it, a line from the movie Swingers. Vince Vaughn says this line to Jon Favreau, who has not been having any luck with the ladies. You should watch the movie. Anyways, the article is basically a dating for dummies type of thing. I didn't read all of it, but I found one interesting point:
  • Don’t ever put a female on a pedestal—this is psychological suicide.
Don't do it! Once they know they have the upper hand, they'll bitch slap you (metaphorically, of course).

Good job Gateway, I applaud you. Now give me free film so I can shoot pictures of squirrels in the snow.

get the 8

Song of the Moment: blink-182 - Another Girl Another Planet

======================================================

Although the giant 6 can pack of Kokanee looks extremely cool, get the new 8 pack of regular sized cans instead. 6 cans x 473 mL each = 2838 mL. 8 cans x 355 mL each = 2840 mL. The 6 can pack was going for $14.99 while the 8 can pack was going for $12.99. So, $2 cheaper and you get 2 mL more! I'm going to be able to send my future children to university with those savings!

eLove

Song of the Moment: Fort Minor feat. John Legend - High Road

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Sometimes I like to push that Next Blog>> button on the top of each Blogger blog. Whenever it is a girl's blog, there are usually comments from random people (guys) on their posts. You know they are random when they sound all nice and stuff. Extra comments for pink or pink related backgrounds and for bloggers who put up their photo in their profile pic. I find this so funny because guys eFlirt with girls that: don't even know them, don't give a shit about them, and will probably never meet them. The eFlirts are comments like: "hey, I was just surfing around and found your blog. i love it/you." or "oh hi there, i noticed that you love rainbows and unicorns, so do i! come to my blog and check it out." The second comment shows the technique of the ePickup. You don't have a home to bring a girl to, so you invite them to your blog. Are there sociology classes that concentrates on the internet population? I'd love to take that class, "Class, I hope you did your readings because today we talk about eLove."
