Dear Journal,
Well, here I am again. Bored out of my mind. Kind of want to stay up late tonight that way I can sort of be prepared to stay up late tonight too. Going to Casino Rama tonight. Originally I was going to go just for the gambling fun. But I saw an add on TV for the Manhattan Transfer show playing at Casino Rama tonight. So I grabbed a ticket online for that.  Going to go see that first, than I'll gamble the night away. lol. Good times.

Well I am very very bored. It's about 1:30am right now. Even Monia's gone to bed. I don't have to go to Photoshop tomorrow because I handed in my assignment earlier today. So I'm going to sleep in until 10 or until Monia wakes me up. Obviously whichever comes first.

Yesterday was Colin's birthday. I tried to get Monia to give him a kiss when she saw him. She originally agreed to it but chickened out at the last minute. Oh well. Would have been funny and I'm sure Colin would have enjoyed it. We were also going to take a little video clip of it for Justin to see. Would have been funny because he likes her so much. Almost actually feel sorry for her.

Tried to call Tri-City today about when I am going to start back up for work this summer. Couldn't get threw and I kind of wanted to stay off the phone today because I figured Colin would have all his family calling throughout the day wishing him a happy birhtday. Sure enough they called a few times. But all in the evening while we were watching something on TV. Guess it must be nice having family that remembers when your birthday actually is. Wish I could have that.

I talked to Shona today about her doing a tarrot reading on me. I don't really strongly believe in them. And I know Shona wants the practice on different victims other than Monia. (Sorry Shona had to put it that way, lol). So I figured why not. She said she'd come over on the weekend. We'll see what it says. Should be interesting I guess.

We had a Javascripting test today. I don't think I did great great but I seem to be one of the few that actually seem confident on passing it. Even some of the girls in the class that you'd expect to be doing well said they were sure they didn't pass it. I didn't think it was all that hard. Or maybe I just really did it badly and thought I was doing it well. I know thats happened a few times. And of course Nick is such a slow marker, we may never see that test ever again. Speaking of Nick we really pissed him off today. We let him go on for about an hour today before someone finally spoke up and told him that he was 30 slides ahead of where he thought he was and that we didn't really have a clue about anything he was talking about. I love pissing off bad teachers sometimes. Especially when it involves an entire class effort. He also hired a few of his ex students to come in and talk about how important Java is. Shona's roommate, Mel has said that we'll never need it agian and some of the third year people I talk to say its useless as well.

I can't believe I'm writing in here again. I'm sure I've shocked a few people. Well right now i know theres at least 2 people reading it. Maybe the others don't even know. Oh well. Their emails are still there on the notifications. Don't really care who reads this I guess.

My dad's cast came off today. Says he can barely walk at all now. He was just getting used to it with the walking cast now he's just totally gone backwards. Guess its going to take a long time to get used to walking again. Oh well. He'll get it eventually I guess.

When I went to hand in my Photoshop assignment in the commons today I saw Krystle there. Mike's first crush within the program. She was doing the same thing I was. Handing in Photoshop. Than she was going to get drunk of Jello Shooters. That actually really surprised me. Never really saw her as the drinking type. Oh well. Can't judge everyone right.

Well I can't keep my eyes open anymore doing this. Going to get my coffee ready and might go play some game for awhile. God damn its boring when your up this late. Oh hey Justin is on. Maybe he'll want to go driving. Or not. He needs his "beauty sleep" for his class and test tomorrow. I'm just going to leave that one alone. I'm sure Shona a.k.a. Shonia, Monia and Bea have something to say to that. Maybe I do have something to say that. As someone Canada's Worst Handyman said "It's like putting lipstick on a pig."

Well I think I'm going to get my coffee ready and go to bed. Damn boredom. It's overwhelming me. Or maybe I'll go to Timmys. I dunno. Decisions decisions decisions. I'm sure the usual night staff person wants an update on a damage report of the car. lol. She's always good for a laugh.

Dear Journal,
Well don't really have much to say. But I'm bored out of my mind right now. Monia and Angela are on to talk to. Of course Angela is blaming me for the work the she isn't doing and Monia of course about Luke. No surprises there.

Photography was rather boring today. A short lesson that I paid no attention too and the rest of the time was lab time. Got my film developed from the field trip last Monday but didn't really make any decent prints.

Monia came over again this morning. Woke me up at about 10. She claims she passed her G1 test but she didn't have the Temp permit. She's either lying about passing it or Canada, you should be very afraid now that she's on the road.

Bea might be coming up again this weekend. Her parents are taking off on vacation leaving her alone with Jenn.

Wish more people would stay up late and talk on MSN. Can't believe all you people that go to bed at a decent hour. Just disgusting. Most of you people are teenagers. You should be up at all hours of the night and sleeping during the day. And theres only 2 of you out there that actually think like that.

Can't wait until next year. Having a roommate that goes to be so early is kind of getting to me. Right now is when I want to be blasting my music. And of course he has to be in bed so early. Oh well. I am going to miss him though.

Just got back from a timmys run. Took Shannon with me. Had a few good conversatyions with her. Good all the latest gossip. And a little story about Justin and his lying bullshit. God damn little fucker. I hope he rolls that car. Speaking of that car I took him on the highway the other night. He actually didn't do to badly. Still has to work on what happens when I repeat "JUSTIN SLOW THE FUCKING CAR DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" a few dozen times. He did good until he got off at Ritson road. That exit ramp is bad. Sharp corner and its very short. Justin also doesn't know why speed limit signs are in yellow approaching sharp corners. All I have to say is this Justin. "You are Canada's Worst Driver." Haven't heard back from the show but Justin ahd I have been talking about it. The first thing he wants to do when he gets on the show is to roll one of their cars. I hope he does gtet on there and he'll notice that rolling a car isn't one of the most fun things in the world to do.

Got my Flash assignment pretty much done this morning. Guess Monia waking me up early wasn't for such a bad thing. Theres one part in it though that I can't figure out why it doesn't work. It's a shape tween. I had the same too objects doing something and it works fine but when you try to reverse the frames it fucks up. Guess I'll be asking Brent about that one tomorrow. Also should check to see if the preloader works properly on the MAC because I know it doesn't work on my PC. Either that or I did something wrong. I'm thinking I did something wrong.

Well. I'm getting even more bored writing. Guess I'll end this here. Bye.

Dear Journal,
Heres a surprise for you and many other people. I'm writing in this again? Why I don't know. It could be for many reasons. Recently I read my friends Martin's Shona's blogs and I think it got me thinkging I should write in here again. Maybe its just because I'm so tired right now I don't know what the hell I'm doing now and I just can't be bothered to go to bed yet. Brain isn't sending the message for the feet to move into the bed. Maybe it could be for a reason I haven't even thought about. Oh well the point is that I'm writing I guess. Well I guess thats done with lets get with the rant now.

So well its almost the end of my Second semester in college. I can't wait for this semester to end. I want to start working again. This school crap is getting borring and i want to work and make some money again. I am going to miss all the great people I've met in this program over the summer time. First of all theres Mike. Wouldn't really classify him in the "great people" category though. He's alright though but as Martin calls him "a dumb fucker." He's alright I guess but he's the kind of person that demands a lot of attention. Should be fun doing my final project with him. Which brings me to Martin. I think he's a great guy and a good friend. He wants to come to Rez next year. Hope he does. I think we'd get along as roommates quite well and I am really going to miss Colin, my roommate this year. Than theres Shona. Might as well talk about her now since I just mentioned Martin. She has a huge crush on Martin but to shy to tell him. I keep telling her on MSN that I'd tell her and I can almost feel her face turn red and she's in the other Rez building. Than therse Monia. She's really great. Reminds me a lot of Bea. She really likes to play fight with me all the time even though she doesn't stand a chance. Sometimes I think I should feel sorry for her because I beat on her all the time.... Nah. That would mean I'd be being nice to her. Can't have that now can we? Guess theres Sean too. I don't know how much longer he's going to last in this program. He barely passed anything last semester and he said he was going to work harder this semester. His definition of working harder though is skipping the first 4 weeks of one of our classes that he is probably still completely lost in. Probably forgetting someone I wanted to mention but don't really care right now. Might come back an edit it later.

Now for friends that our not in my program that I have been meeting and getting to know. Well lets start with Justin. OMG. What a moron. About a month ago now I guess it was he started thinking about buying a car. I told him I know a lot about cars and he was telling me the kind of deals that his "buddies" were offering. Lets just say they weren't really deals of any sort. More or less plastered Justin with a moron light. I could tell they were bad cars and bad prices just by what he was telling me. Didn't need to go look at it to see if it was a bad car or not. First of all a 7 year old Honda Accord with over 400,000km and obvious transmission problems should never even be given a second look unless your looking for any non mechanical part. And a 5 year Hyundai Tiburon with over 200,000km and a bad second gear (it was a standard) is also way out of the question. Obviously both of these cars were driven to the ground. It doesn't take a super genious to figure out bad transmission means bad car to buy. He finally went to a Toyota Dealer and bought a 2003 Toyota Matrix. It's a standard so I agreed that I would teach him how to drive a standard. Stupid me listened to him that he actually knew how to drive. WRONG! Theres bad drivers out there. And then theres Canada's Worst Drivers. This guy can't tell right from left and right way from wrong way. In the 3 weeks he's had this car he's had 4 seperate parking lot incidents 2 of which have caused a few very distinct marks in the front end of his vehicle. I've nominated him for Canada's Worst Drivers, the teleivision show on Discovery, he did pretty bad on the test. I'm just hoping its bad enough to get on the test. It was nice of him to say on camera though that going up a one way street the wrong day, 4 stalls in a half hour driving test, couldn't parallel park, or reverse park, and a close call with a transport truck was a good day for him. I don't go driving with him all the time. He's taking the car out by himself now. All I have to say is Oshawa watch out until College is done. And than Cambridge. I'm sorry. But he's coming to you. Keep your precious BMW's under thick guarded doors. Alright enough about him. On to Colin. He's a great roommate. I really am going to miss this kid next year. He's graduating this year. I don't think I'll ever find a roommate as good as he was. Just wish he didn't wake up at the drop of a feather. lol. Oh well. No body's perfect.

Well onto my program in general now I guess. Not doing so well in Layouts class. I just hate doing those damn assignments. JavaScripting is going way better than I thought I'd ever do in it. I have an 86 in it right now. Mike has the same thing in it but I know it would be a lot lower had I not helped him with 2 assignments. Martin isn't doing to well in it. He doesn't get it all. Been trying to help him but I can only help him so far. He's trying to understand everything in to much detail I think. I'm kind of taking it at the point of view where it works leave it the fuck alone and move on.  Flash is fun. Not really learning anything new. Mostly a refresher from Rysdale's Multimedia and Animation classes. Good times non the less. Photography is good. I've come to the conclusion though that I don't like black and white photography. I hate not seeing the colours in my prints that I know were there when I first took the damn picture. Presentations class. God don't get me started on this. Donna is just proving she's moron throughout every class. She tells us to be prepared with the technology before she goes and presents. How many hours were trying to figure out the difference between Play and Pause on that VCR today Donna? Holly fuck. We're from the "Thumb Generation" Donna. 95% of teenagers and young adults can have a cell phone picked up and know everything there is to know about it and how to use it in under 5 minutes. Knowing play, pause, and detect video inputs is a hell of a lot easier. Not something you have to keep repeating to us.

Well thats enough about that. Guess I'll move on to family now. Dogs and Cat are doing well. Marlowe's getting old though. Don't expect her to be around for to much longer. Going to miss the old girl when we have to put her down. I'll never forget her. Dad broke his leg fairly bad not that long ago. He's full of metal in the leg now. Happened at work on his way back to the car so at least he's getting workers comp. Just that he's driving my mom nuts but 1. Thats a pretty short drive as it is. and 2. He's been doing that for the last 20 years already.

Guess my birthday is going to be coming up soon. Going to be the big 2 - 0. Not going to be a teen anymore. Thats disappointing. Going to miss the teenage years. Good times. Especially with the cars.

Guess I am going to have to mention Bea in here again. If I don't I'm sure I'd get a good talking too. She's coming up tomorrow night. Well it is 3 in the morning right now so I guess she's coming later tonight. Probably go see a movie Saturday night or something. I want to see Lucky Number Sleven. Martin and a few others want to go see it too but I don't think Bea is to interested in it so I guess we'll just make other plans for it.

I have my own digital camera now. Been wanting to get one for awhile actually. I went to Casino Rama for the second a couple weeks ago. Came out 189 dollars ahead. So I bought a Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-S600. The more I've been using it the more I like it. Takes really good pictures in the day and night and takes really good quality movies too. Came with 32mb internal memory. I know its not much but good enough for now when I can use it on my lap top and put the pictures on that whenever I want. In the summer though I intend to get somthing big for it. Probably a 512mb or 256mb. Depends on how much I'm willing to spend.

Well MSN has been quiet for at least an hour and I am having a real hard time keeping my eyes open now. Going to the Tennis courts again today so I guess I should get some sleep. Bye. 

Dear Journal,
Yeah yeah yeah. It has been a long time since I've wrriten here. So Here I am, writing again... Hmmmm. What to say? Who even cares anymore? I talk to most of the people online about what I'm doing and whats been going on, for the most part, so writing in here hasn't been one of my prioritys.

I'm in Durham College now. First semester, first year. I'm taking Sociology, English, Programming in XHTML, Math, Digial Illustration, and Drawing. For the most part its alright. I'm failling math right now. We don't have exams in our program so we have tests that are quite a bit. And I still can't write tests worth shit so I have my doubts on passing the course but I'm still going to try. I think it may be possible to bring my mark up to a pass, but we'll see. My English teacher is a complete moron. She'd be totally screwed without her power point presentations that she obviously didn't make because there way to well done. She just reads off those presentations all the time and hopes we actually understand what she's reading. But no ones even paying attention because shes got this really irretating monotone voice.  All my other classes are going pretty good. Teachers that know what they are talking about and make class enjoyable to come too.

I'm in residence here. I got into the South Village residence like I wanted too. I have a private bedroom(which is good for when Bea comes up) with common kitchen and bathroom with my roomate Colin. He's pretty good. He's a third year Computer Systems Technologist or something to that effect. He's mostly doing a lot of networking stuff and security systems. Also doing a really haavy duty C++ programming class. We get along pretty good. We had a few problems at the beginning of the year though. I kept waking him up in the morning when I was getting up because I have 3 8:00am classes throughout the week where as he never has a class before 9. He's kind of gotten use to the noise i make and the coffee machine so I don't think I've been waking him up much lately. I've also been getting along with his friends Justin and Jeanie. We have dinner together sometimes if we all happen to go for dinner at the same time. We have a good conversation and then afterwards we'll go up to one of our rooms and chat for a bit. Justin likes to show off what movies he gets. He is constantly buying movies. Some of them I think are just to increase his collection, don't think he cares about the movie at all. Anyway, Colin and I have really shitty neighbours though. They really like to party and get drunk a lot. I don't mind the partying so much and I don't really mind the drinking that much. Especially when I've become good friends with one of them and he's constantly giving me free shots of whatever happens to lieing around that day. What bugs me is all the noise they make. Neither one of them has a class before noon throughout the week so they party almost every night and make a lot of noise. One of them also likes to listen to really loud music. Colin and I and numerous neighbours around them and below them have made noise complaints and the RA's have threatened to kick him out of this residence and send them over to the other residence which is pretty shitty. I kind of want to see them go and I kind of don't. What would be ideal would be for them to just shut up. But thats never going to happen.

Bea and I are still doing well. It's been hard on both of us that were apart for so long. We're not getting everyday or at least every weekend like we used too. But we're still doing good and I know we can get threw this for awhile longer and we'll be together all the time.

My parents are still enjoying causing all kinds of stress. I have Friday's off this semester so they practically make me come home more often then I'd like so they can piss me off and annoy me. I think my mother is starting to grasp the concept that I'm gone for good and is starting to leave me alone slightly.. Not much, slightly.

Well time to go to bed. I'm starting to get pretty tired here typing this. Hope everyone is happy now that I have started to write a bit in here. I might write something else sometime soon. I dunno I haven't quite decided what I am going to do. Truthfully, I have no idea what caused me to even write this much. I have drawing class tomorrow at 8:00am. I really should get some sleep before then, even though it is only 11:45pm. I just feel exhausted. Guess I've kind of grown out of the 5 hours of sleep I used to be able to need. Which really sucks because I always liked staying up late and playing computer games and chatting on MSN, usually with Jesse because he was the only other crazy person to be up that late. Anyway, night all.

Dear Journal,

Dear Journal,
I know I don't go to the movies that often but today I went with my mother and her friend Diana. It was a really good movie. But the reviews were right. Kristana was an excellent singer, Rahul was a wuss that is suppose to big macho guy that comes to the rescue and the guy who plays The Phantom can't sing. There were a lot of interesting little changes to the story as well that weren't in Andrew Loyd Webbers original version but they were good and actually made sense. But still they shouldn't of altered the story. It was a rather long weekend too. I had to sit next to someone on both sides of me so I basically had no room to stretch my legs, so my legs were rather sore after 2:30 hours of not being able to move them at all.

This weekend kind of sucks though. My dad is up North with a bunch of the friends he knows from when he was a Wilderness Guide for Algonquin Outfitters. One his friends is having their 50th birthday and my dad went up for the all weekend party. The sad thing about it is that he took my car so I am stuck here alone with my bitchy mother and no car. And I couldn't go out tonight because my mom said that since I don't have a car I don't need to go out. So thats why I am stuck at home all weekend with bitch. However he should be back relatively early tomorrow so I will have my car back soon.

I did my exams. There all done now. and I have a week off now. Second semester doesn't start until February 7th. I am sort of looking forward to it because I am going to be at Myer everyday in the morning and I will be getting an extra long lunch every other day because of the 2 day schedule at Westlane where I will be in the afternoon for Math.

Well thats all I really have to say. Nothing much I know. To tired to think of stuff to write and I am watching Star Wars Episode 6 right now. Bye.

Dear Journal,
The semester is almost over. So far one of my courses is completely done and over with. I finished the last journal I had to write for Co-Op and now it is all done and over with.

Engineering today I was in guidance for most of it. I was talking to them about what I should go and where I should take it. I still don't know really know what I am doing but at least I have a better idea now.

English was rather boring. We did our test on Death Of The Nile. I figured it was going to be a lot harder than it was because we didn't do any quizs and she isn't marking any of the questions. It was actually pretty easy. Pretty much just needed to explain Simon and Jackie's plan and why a few of the characters were there. (Sorry if I just ruined the story for you.)

On Saturday I went to Bea's house after cleaning the house. We didn't really do much because all I really wanted to do was curl up with her and watch a movie. We watched the first half of Seed Of Chuckey. It was pretty good, but for some reason the 2nd Video CD wouldn't work in her DVD player, but the first one worked fine. And I know I created them with the same coding. I don't know what happened. Oh well. I will figure it out some other time.

Yesterday I was in Toronto a Computer show. I got a few new little toys that I really like. We got a few things actually. My dad and I went. We bought:

1. A 512mg Flash Drive - $20
2. A 12x DVD/CD writer for $35
3. Logitech Motion Tracking Webcam - $25
4. USB 2 Hub Card - $19

Dear Journal,
It's beena few days since I have written in here but I can explain why. I haven't really been on the computer much because of my heel that has been hurting for quite sometime now has been getting worse.

It all started last year when I noticed I had started getting a few planters warts. It was small and I hadn't really even noticed it for quite awhile because it wasn't bothering. It was on the bottom of my foot right at my heel. I went to the doctors a few times and he tried various antibiotics and surprise surprise, duck tape, in hopes to sufficate them. He then tried to burn them off. One of them went away and the other has come back with avengiance. It came back as a different kind of wart and has come back in about 50 times the size as the first one. It has also been extremely difficult to walk on for quite sometime now. I tried the doctors one more time and he said that I am going to have to look at a specialist now. I went to a dermatoligist in St. Catharines and he sprayed it with Liquid Nitrogen. After that it hurt quite a bit more and I have pretty much been limping really badly ever since. He also gave me a prescription of an acid to put on it to kill it. It's really dangerous acid that will literally burn skin right off if it gets on so I have to be really careful putting it on with a Q-Tip. Hopefully this will finally get rid of the little bastards because the next time is actually going for a day surgery and have them put me down and actually dig them out and rip them out. Sounds lovely doesn't it? At least I'd be asleep for it.

Today was rather special. Well I guess yesterday by the time I get around to formatting this and publishing it. It was my last day at Co-Op. No more Brock University for me. Oh I am thankful to get out of there. That is one place I am never going to miss. I am however going to miss Herman and Tyler though. Herman was nice, well he was a prick sometimes. But he was good for the most part. Tyler was good. Had a lot of card games and conversations with him on those days that we were both in there with absolutely nothing to do. Mind you, every day there was pretty much nothing to do. I was usually on MSN talking to Erik or other people that are either not in school, or were in school, in computer classes going on MSN when they really weren't suppose too.

In Eengineering class we were always making fun of Mel because we always thought that she was the dumbest in the class. Well she isn't Zaffar has proved that he can be far dumber than Mel could ever be. For one of the assignments that we have been doing lately we have had to print our name in the VDU screen using Assembly Programming Language. I tried to help him do it but I eventually just gave up and let him copy mine and I specifically told him to change my name in the comments and to change the letters that come up with the corresponding letters for his name in the program. I should him exactly where to change it, what letters to change, I even printed out the ASCII chart for him so he could see it and do it right away. Do you think he changed the name? NOPE!!! So when our teacher opened up his program, it printed MY name. We both got a lecture from Mr. Beens and thanks to his stupidity we both got 0's.

Today on MSN Erik told me that Far East was hiring dishwashers again. I told Bea to e-mail me my resume and reference sheet because I had them on my network drive at school because of Co-OP I did a quick update and than I printed them out and dropped them off. I don't know if I will get in though. Don't think Lenore liked me very much when I was filling in for Erik those few days. But I don't think she would have a reason too. I didn't think I really fucked up anything. Oh well. Ya win some you loose some.

Well that is pretty much all I have to say. I am rather tired today. I don't know why I got to sleep in today because there was no engineering class. I didn't have to see Mr. dick head beens for the last few days.

Dear Journal,
Well I have been here for about half an hour and this place is already falling apart. Herman is back from his vacation now. It seems pretty depressed about something. I'm assuming its the medical condition of his father still in debate but it could be just jet lag still. Either way he doesn't seem like he wants anyone near him today.

Rahul is the same way. He seems like he's in a pissy mood about something. No idea what his problem is but oh well. Guess I am just staying clear away from him too. He still has my log sheet from last week that I asked him to sign on Tuesday and I haven't seen him since to get it back from him. Oh well. Guess it's going to be another late mark on the log thanks to him.

Tyler is here today. His girlfriend came in here earlier and slapped him across the face and screamed, "you fucking asshole!" One of his girlfriend's friend's was flirting with him in e-mails to him and he told her numerous times to stop it. His girlfriend went on his e-mail account today because she sent him something and she wanted to make sure that it sent and she saw all the emails of her flirting with him. So she figured he was cheating on her with one of her bestfriends. Well I'm assuming ex-bestfriend now.

Meanwhile I am in an excellent mood today because this is the beginning of my last week here. I am counting down the days until I never have to see this place again. Only 5 more!!!

On a little happier note than the beginning of this entry that I meant to mention in one of my previous entries is that we have a new dog. About a 5 month old Collie. I have an interesting story on how I got him too. There was a fire call that I went on to and I was on ladder. The neighbours called because there was a dog stuck in a tree and it was whimpering really loudly disturbing the neighbours. Yes I said dog stuck in a tree. I have no idea how that one happened but it did. And since I was on ladder I got him down and he pretty much grabbed my arm and just would not let me go. So I took him home and gave him some food and some water and I think he's around to stay. My parents seem to like him exept for him whimpering a bit shortly after I leave the house. He even woke dad up one morning but than everything is all better when I get home again. He's a cute little thing too. Anyway I am going to finish up some log sheets and than I will be leaving soon. Bye all ttyl.
