The Good, The Bad and The Ugly [2006 Edition]

Good:
    • Finally found my clique. This year, I finally established a circle of friends which I'm close with, rather than a plethora of aquaintances.
    • Finding my specialty and almost finalizing plans for the future. Writing is where my talents lie and a major in English is soon to be in the works.
    • My Birthday not being just another day. Last year it was just a movie with Loretta, Erica and Zer0...this year I had Diva, Mohit, Ezekiel, Christina, Mark, and Jackie. Went out for a movie, then dinner and then randomness.
    • Finally accepting Christ. I will never regret making the decision to go to Summer Camp this year because after just one night, I've accepted Christ as my savoir, truly an enlightening weekend.
    • I'm a Worker Bee. It might be annoying. It might be a complete pain in the ass. It might sap me of my energy. But I'm no longer completely dependant on my parents for cash which is a great feeling. I've met some really cool people and a couple of real tossers but the expierance is priceless.
    • The Dance Life. It's hard ...really hard to believe I was barely passing butterfly on beginner in May. Now I can pull a freestyle on most 1-8 footers on DDR and almost a full freestyle of Habanera 1 on ITG.
    • Boxing Day; the fun. Watching Scarface and beating (yeah, beating) Sarah at Monopoly was tons of fun.
Bad:
  • Letting go of a dream. Giving up on that one person you believed could and would've been the one. Saying you don't give up on the one you love is irrelevent when you're in my position. Now, we're the best of friends and I wish her and her boyfriend the best of luck, truly.
  • Lonliness. Been single for 22 months now, not letting myself suffer for another 12.
  • Sickness. For some reason, I was sick more times this year than all the previous years combined. Don't know why.
  • Juggling Responsibility. Sometimes there's no time for both School or Work. Money seems to outweigh the future sometimes.
  • Math. I swear, the last day of school this year, I'm going to out right go to Ms. O's room and tell her to fuck off and that she is the most horrid teacher I've ever had. Speak my language correctly or fuck right off.
Ugly 
 
  • Having to handle the sins of a [step] father. Just because you have to replace your cocaine and weed with booze doesn't mean I have to suffer from your over inflated ego
  • False Hope. I waited and waited. Maybe it was my fault for no longer being on MSN 24/7 but I would've expected a phone call from someone who told me they loved me.
  • The need for Control. I've seen two friends this year go down and seemingly lose themselves in alcohol. Both are fine now but both need to learn how to control what they celebrate with. One was a fit of rage which caused many of her close friends to worry and uneccessary bickering to go on. The other was just over indulgance at its finest.
  • Boxing Day; The violence. Next year, if I do go for another round of shopping, I'll remember to tape my fists and load my sleeves with brick.
 
 
Resolutions:
 
  1. Lose at least 50-70 pounds or at least turn half of that into muscle. It's Now or Never for my health at this point.
  2. It's the story of my life and now it's time to end that story and begin a new one, so I'm going to stop being a human door mat.
  3. Stop being single. It's fun to flirt around and just float around for awhile but it's not the same as having one true companion.
  4. Get something published. I have the skill and talent but I need to find a vehicle that will like my style.
  5. Start saving for University, it's just 2 years away and tuition is 3-5k/semester so I need to save now.
 
 
Hope you read all that.

A New Year, A New Beginning

Alright, since alot of you don't like reading, I'll give you the short form of what happened to me from 3pm Sunday the 31st to now.
 
5-10pm Worked; So bad, Phillip didn't feel like coming to his last shift so we didn't have a busser plus for some reason it wasn't dead. It was very much alive. Ania was being a sorrid cunt and started at 12pm instead of the usual 4pm which meant she was bitching all night.
 
10 - 12pm '07 At Erica's party; Marcus, Jerry and I arrive at Erica's and the old Asian gang is all there. Marcus has already got 2 beers, 300ml of hooch [20 year old] and now he downs 2 coolers and 7 shots of Vodka. Nonetheless, he passes out and almost at the stroke of midnight, he wakes up and starts puking, Jerry's fucked up anyways so he starts taking pictures of the misery -_-. I was planning to get out of Erica's (whose pretty fucked anyways) with Jerry and Marcus but doesn't look that way now. I sleep over and learn alot about Carmen and Emily from Truth or Dare. We fall asleep in the living room and wake up to see that Carmen left. Marcus, Erica and I go to Knight and Day for breakfast, pretty crappy -_-.
 
2-7pm At Work...Again; I go over to the Dirty Bird to find that Megin and Anna S. haven't shown up so I get offered to work today which is a stat holiday and go up to change. It wasn't too bad since I started right after the Lunch rush. Made about 45 Dollars for my 4 hours of work [Which would've gotten me 30 dollars regularly].
 
10-Now....am The Room; Here's the backstory, I haven't cleaned this room since we moved in about 3 years ago. It took 2 fucking hours to clena this room, it looks so good now though. I had to bring 3 full garbage bags out of my room by the end. I have some pictures of the best this room will EVER look.

Boxing Day: The Tale of Violence and Fun

Since I'm not about to sit here for an hour and type I'll give a good timeline of what happened yesterday.
 
2:30am .-. The day starts out for me, as the preparations I made for an early awakening, work (lights on, music on). I text both Marcus and Steven to see if they're still on.
 
3:30am .-. Marcus texts me back and we make plans on how to get to Futureshop. Still no word from Steven.
 
4:50am .-. Leave the house and catch the 106 bus to Metrotown. Get a text from Marcus saying that the line is huge. Steven still isn't responding to his text...the bastard.
 
5:00am .-. I arrive at Futureshop, Marcus isn't kidding because the line goes from the doors, around the staircase, along Sports Check, along the sidewalk and across the cross walk. Luckily He's in the halfway point of the line. We chill for the hour or so as right behind us was Kevin from Steph's treehouse. No answer from Steven yet.
 
5:45am .-. Let the fucking games begin. The doors open and everyone rushes the damn door. Almost getting trampled isn't fun ;). It's fucking crazy because no one pays attention to the line and they just enter as they please, I even saw some people who just arrived get out of their cars and rush the door...What The Fuck is the point of the line? -_-
 
6:00am .-. It's combat time boy and girls. Futureshop is over its capacity of people and everyone seems to be just a little agitated. Unfortunately, my stuff is in the computers section which is the smallest and most saught after section on Boxing Day. Fuck.. Getting through the crowds sucks and I knocked some people in the face with some elbows but surprisingly they just kept shopping. Found a webcam for Ashlee and my External Hard Drive.
 
6:30am .-. Some really weird people come out on Boxing day. I meet up with Marcus and Kelvin (His brother) in the line and damn... there's absolutely no breathing room. The lady behind me bitches to no end and there's a news camera in the god damn building. We met some cool asian guys in front of us and we had a good hour-in-line-waiting with them. "Oxygen for PSP" My offer still stands. We finally get to the till and since Marcus and Kelvin have the PSP ticket, they have to go to Customer service line instead. "Uh-ah, you betta find a way to ring it in here" Kelvin's pissed and just walks over to the daunting CS line. I get my shit through and I'm out the door and guess whose out there... Steven...fuck.
 
7:15am .-. I meet up with Steven outside and he's not alone. I meet Jonathan and Chang. Both are pretty cool and we get some Breakfast at A&W. The coffee sucks there. We go back to Futureshop to meet up with Ricky and we go to Chang's house because Ricky's speakers are way too big to walk around with. We head back into the mall afterwards and there is a big line for Zara and Off the Wall but surprisingly American Eagle is open early. Jono goes and buys some pants from there and we all just chill in the center next to Bluenotes. We run into Ron.
 
8:00am .-. The mall opens. It's not as bad as Futureshop but it is still packed in there. We all split up as I take Ron with me from Bluenotes to Old Navy. Some really good selection today from Ol' Navy but the checkout line rivals the one at Futureshop. I'm in that line for 40 minutes and I try on 4 hoodies/sweatshirts along the way. I bought one dress shirt and one sweatshirt before getting out of there.
 
9:00am .-. Seeing that I'm only a stone's throw away from CHQ, I go in there and take one dance. I get a call from Steven and he and his crew will meet me here. We chill at the arcade until Ashley calls me I go to meet her at UP.
 
10:00am .-. I meet up with Ashley and Joanne in Urban Planet. Time to turn the Metrosexual up in me up. I honestly don't remember Joanne from Inman but she looks familiar. We go from UP to Bluenotes and it begins...My fingers will now be used to hold bags upon bags. Luckily for them, Ashley and Joanne don't have that much money. We hit Old Navy...another long line before we decide to go for lunch. I get a call from Sarah and we meet up with her in the food court. The food court is totally packed, we see some people eating over garbage containers. We decide to go down to Sui Sha Ya. We run into Alan, Ben Esp., Carlos and another guy for the life of me, I can't remember. We chill on the couches beside the resturant before our name is called.
 
1:00pm .-. We sit down and I bring out the camera. It takes a while for the food to come out but it's justified because we ordered alot. We even ordered 9 orders of Chicken Teriyaki. By the end of it, we're all stuffed. We leave to go to the Piggy Bank hut as me and Ashley get two matching cellphone bears. Our little bond.
 
Since I can't be fucked to finish this all in one sitting...I'll continue after I come home from work.

I just got 52% and 64% the first 2 times I did the (practice) driving tests :-x Anyways...
 
3:00pm .-. The Sirens are calling. We're all pretty tired by this point so we go to Sirens to visit Erica and maybe Emily. Emily's in the back so I'm not gonna bother her, but Erica's on the floor so we chat a bit. I guess she now knows how bad retail is on your feet ;) We head over to Starbucks where Joanne and Sarah escaped to as I order a Vanilla Bean and Sarah orders a mocha. Soon, both Joanne and Ashley leave which leaves me and Sarah.
 
4:00pm .-. The pawning party. We head over to Sarah's house to play Mario Party on her bed. She owns the game and she totally dominates the games. I make it close though but not enough to win. We head downstairs after some wrestlin' with eachother. I almost fall asleep on her couch while watching Donny shadow or whatever that cartoon is. Her parents come home, awkard...Sarah needs to head out to get some bud so we get out of the house and head over to the 7-11 on Canada Way.
 
6:00pm .-. Here's Toddler. So we go 14 blocks before meeting up with Todd. After some pleasentries we go into 7-11 to call Brian to get the bud. Todd gives him 11 or so rings before he gives up. Sarah calls him and poof he's on the line. He says he's eating so we give him half an hour. We head over to Todd's and feel totally at home. He's a pretty damn cool guy if I do say so myself. We chill there, me meet his dog who apparently loves my crotch ¬_¬. Brian takes his sweet time before getting to the house an hours later. Todd was thinking of just leaving us in his room because the door to the whole house has some kind of lock thing but Sarah needs to go back anyways. She smells.
 
8:00pm .-. Return of DAHKNESS!~ We get to Edmonds where me meet up with Marcus. He's a little groggy because he just woke up from a nap after a boxing fight. We head over to the movie place next to her house because we needed something to do and because we told her parents that we were gonna get a movie. After an hour of small bickering we get Scarface. We go back and get comfy on her bed then realize that the discs aren't in the box. We go back and get it...feeling a bit smarter.
 
9:00pm .-. J'ou know who you're talking to? Usually I would give this its own sub heading and review it but I'm tired. I'll just this: It's a really good movie, the storyline and story telling is spot on, the violence was well thought and the trademark scene ("Say 'ello, to my little friend") was well worth the 3 hour wait.
 
12:00am .-. Take my revenge. It's 12am and we haven't been kicked out of the house yet so we go and get the monopoly board. The last time I was in this house I lost pretty bad but not this time. I have a strategy now. Marcus plays how I did last time; Frugally. Sarah is still bent on global domination. After two hours of dealings, Marcus was out and me and Sarah were duking it out. She held onto 3 streets while my strategy of having 1 street (the street right in front of me) and all the utilities is working perfectly. I know how to use the dice so I keep on hitting enough spaces to land on my utilities on the board or chances/community chests/go. 3am rolls around and her mom comes down to kick us out basically because she can't sleep. Me and Sarah look at eachother and she thinks she has won because she has the most property/money but I still say we had a draw considering if my dice rolls continued she would've landed on my properties/utilities enough to mortgage everything.
 
3:00am .-. End of the road. We say goodbye and head out. Marcus and I talk about tail before we almost completely cease talking because I can't walk and talk at the sametime or I'll choke. We part ways and I get home to find that the laundry is done. =)
 
4:00am .-. Welcome Home. All in all, the day started out violent but ended so well. From meeting up with Marcus then shopping with Steven, Ashley and Joanne to chilling with Marcus, Sarah and Todd, today was fun and meant alot. I've been gone from the house for almost 24 hours and it feels great.

Camp '06

Well, since I just bitched someone out in another guy's blog about camp (¬.¬) I might as well review and give a summary of such events.
 
Before I started the trek to camp, I went out to coffee with Diva and Alan, it's so nice to just go out with those people ^_^. than we went to the dollar stores to get Alan Laid :-p. Well as laid as you're gonna get when you buy 3/4 pink laiys for a hawaiin party.
 
Friday June 30th
 
Uetchi came late like he said but at least he stopped for slurppes. So driving with Garvin and Eric isn't bad. Surprisingly Eric, Garvin and Uetchi all like anime which made for some pretty good Gundam Wing discussion.
 
We got there and I unloaded my big ass bag...*note to self: pack less-_-* and then after standing around like idiots for about 20 or so minutes, we got our keys and found our rooms. Man-_- the dorms last year were far better than this year's. The whole floor has to share 6 toilets, 6 showers and 2 Urinals. We had no idea what we were supposed to do so I just followed Andy. He led me to the welcoming ceremony which just ended :-!. So it's dinner time and I think it was roast beef on the first night if not mistaken. It wasn't bad, it was better than last year's at least. So it seems like on the first day we have a clique of sorts forming with me, Garvin, Esther, Philip and Mickie ^_^.
 
After Dinner we went to our first Session with Raymond but like every first night session it was boring but it was pretty good since Raymond has great speaking skills mixed with charisma. Larry is excellent with his drum kit and the whole band was pretty good. After the session we go into our bedside fellowship groups (not as fun as the name suggests ) and we had Uetchi as our leader. It was pretty quiet but it was expected considering it was first night. The only guy I remember by name is Jon because he has such a distinct face and voice.
 
That night was pretty meh:-/ because not everyone knew eachother so basically I was the loser on the windowsill writing poetry. The night picked up as Peter started a card game where we basically bet very ...unique things. Like earflicks and push ups. I got in when the bets were the max bet was 50 push ups. And I think I did about 120-200 by the end of the night...I didn't get any good hands :-[. Well since every basically sleeps at 3. I went downstairs do see what Garvin was up to. meh, he was in no mood to do anything so I went to bed at around 4.
 
Saturday July 1st...Canada Day
 
So I feel this hand on the back of my neck and wake up about to break it off but than I hear my roomie's voice(Philip) and I'm so sluggish to react. It's 7:15 in the morning and he wakes me up >:0. So I go out for my run and impress myself in the fact that I continually jog for 3 minutes straight. I come back and change and we go off to breakfast where we I think the generic breakfast crap was being served, not too bad from last year. ...well couldn't get worse. I think I had about 4 cups of coffee there :-x
 
So we went off to the second session and it was better as do all second ones do. Apparently Serene got an allergic reaction to something so he and Wendy left to get some rest at their house. Raymond's session was better than last night's but it was still lacking something but I don't know what. The songs this year seem to be lacking to:-x
 
We had free time which basically translated into almost half the people at camp to go into the lounge and watch France/Brazil....GO FRANCE >:0. Of course my European Defence wins over flash and offence. So after the game, it's time to recreate it so we went to play Soccer. I stayed on for a good 2 hours I believe in ALL black while trying to block the ball from teh goal. I think I blocked about 16-20 shots which is pretty good for me. And while I did my shorts ripped so badly :-x. It's a huge U shape from the bottom of the zipper to the space between the butt pockets. I changed and was ready for the big water fight. Equiped with my war skirt and 20 Black Party Balloons I went off to the field. So they planned it to be a capture the flag-esque game but it broke down when all the buckets and sponges got brought out. I tried launching the Black Bombs but they wouldn't break =(. I got pretty soaked and raped a bit literally with I think Zach's balloon to the ass >:0. After about an hour of total water warfare, we called it quits and went for dinner.
 
So....Lasagna :-x...Craptacular if you ask me. It was worse than last year's. I had another 3 glasses of Coffee :-x and than horded a whole bottle of it...my only mistake being I only put 1 spoon of sugar. OMG Emily Ate 5 Pieces of Cake >:0
 
...Wow...the last session was just so intense and I think I finally accepted Christ =). It was just so powerful and it showed on almost everyone. He asked for all the people who needed to pray to come up and Emily was the first to go up, I'm so proud of her^_^. With that I knew I had to go (Not peer pressure but just I'm more of a follower then anything) . Me and Jo prayed and it was just a grand experience. I can't really describe it. This is when I realized that the songs were of a higher meaning than anything and it really was very touching. Vince is a great Guitarist.
 
After that we got back into our bedside fellowships and opened up pretty well. We prayed for eachother in small groups. Mine was Raymond and Sam Tang(I believe).
 
We were a bit late too come back to the dorms but Caleb opened it for us, even though he wasn't supposed to leave bedside fellowship early.
 
Ahhh, This was an awesome night really, first we played spoons with like 13 people and this time I didn't lose=-o. I think it was the first round or somewhere near the beginning and I was scrambling for a key, both me and Emily caught a key. I look up to see who has it, and I just shrug and let go...Real Gentleman like . The game ended because of "Body Odur" issues and the next person to lose would drink the watered down ketchup. Well Zach lost but no one really cared if he did it or not.
 
Next up was a game of monkey that led on for I think 2 hours or so. I was partnered up with daniel I think and we had these really screwed up signs.:-!. So 3pm rolled around again and about half the people left again. Emily and Esther(who's mad good at Spoons) pretty much were having a draw off with Zach all night and being hyper overall. 4 pm rolled around and it was a bloody ghost town by then as no one wanted to hang out in the lounge anymore =\. So like the loser I am, I got my pad and started writing again. I snuck back into my room and got my BTII CD and popped it into the DVD Player and listened to it while I wrote. I finished the Poem for Avon and started on a poem for Mandi but by then I was on the couch not the window sill and I was drifting off badly. Before I drifted off I saw the sunrise, it was so damn beautiful. I decided to just call it quits since the coffee has gotten extremely bitter. I went to sleep at like 5:20. I go downstairs and I hear weird noises from Sam, Sam, Zach and Ephra's room...man I really regret not knocking on that door.
