Eh.

Things are being tested (mostly ads and the sort).

"I learned how to drive from GTA:SA." - "I learned how to drive from Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08."

I changed my display name shit thing because the old shit was far too long.

Anyways, this will be short since I want to cut back on being a procrastinasian. So, as of right now, it's still "download day". Whether marketing ploy or not, it's fucking genius.

Download Day - English

Anyways, not that anyone will ever read this, but FF3 is pretty awesome. The new bookmarking thing and stumble combined made yesterday one of my most "productive" stumbling days.

For example,
Scratch and win envelopes

The centre of the internet

If this shit wasn't shopped, I'd be truly amazed

Ultra-condensed movies
Arms and more

I might update sometimes over the summer, but chances are quite slim of that.
Also, need to touch up on html skills again, forgot everything except linking and images.

How Not to Be an Asshole

OK, normally, I wouldn't do a blog right now, but I am just too freaking pissed after a crappy day at work. And now, I'm tutoring some kid who's so stupid he's managing to fail Social Studies and English!!! So I'm just going to do a blog to vent; so yeah, there will be explicit language. It's addressed to the assholes of the world and is basically about what not to do when you're at a store.

I don't give a rat's ass about Future Shop
Seriously, I don't give a shit about the prices at Future Shop or Best Buy. This really applies to any store, the cashier isn't the freaking boss.  So why are you telling me about the fukcing prices at other stores? I can't change the prices! If it's so cheap at Future Shop or whatever, great, buy whatever the hell you want there, it's a free country. Unless you have the intention of actually buying something or asking a question, FUCK OFF!

Don't lie to me
I'm not stupid, if I'm working at a retailer, that means I know something about what I sell. So don't give me shit about getting a Lexmark cartridge for $15 at Future Shop. It's not true! Just because you say that, doesn't mean I'll give you a discount or something. I'll just think you're an asshole.

Keep the receipts
I'm not giving you a fucking refund without a receipt, it's that simple. Prove you bought it from us, or I'm not giving you a cent. How do I know you haven't just picked up shit from a garbage can and tried to pass it off as our stuff?

Be on time
I do not sleep at the mall, if I'm at the end of my shift, I want to go home. If you came exactly as I close, I won't help you. I'll tell you nicely to fuck off and then leave. Sure my boss'll be pissed, but I don't give a shit! You get the whole day to come and you choose the time when I close? Screw you! This applies especially to fast food places, if you go when the machines are all washed and stuff and ask for a $1.00 sundae or something, you come off as a fucking retard, trust me.

Know the prices
If you don't know what the price of something is, ask before buying it. Other wise you'll just be that whiny retard making my day suck.

Pick up your stuff
This applies for pre-ordered stuff only. If you pre-order something, and we give you a pick up date, pick it up then! Don't be an asshole and wait a gazillion years before coming back, you'll come off as an asshole, and a tardy one at that.

Know what you want
If you come and say: "I need a black cartridge" I won't know what the hell you need. Cause there are just a few hundred models around, so don't be a retard and know your own stuff before coming to buy something. Else you'll be the fucktard who wasted my time.

Twenty is not acceptable
Don't give me a 20 when I charge you $3.26. That's a lot of change, and you come off as pretentious asshole.

That's it for now, folks...

The bad.

Last week, I absolutely started hating some technological revolutions and questioning whether technology is actually good.

Story on how this was started:

In September my dad bought a new car, it had power everything etc. Our old one had manual everything etc.
Last Saturday I think it was, I was inside the car when my parents were at Farm Boy I think. Anyways, it was a bit stuffy inside so I tried to open up my window, it wouldn't budge. So, I unlock the car without realizing that the security system had already gone on (it goes on 2 minutes after the car is locked), and then BAM! The car's security was beeping at full throttle and I couldn't turn it off (apperently it shuts off 2 minutes later). Later that day, my dad told me that everything requires either the key or the engine to be on.

So, is technology a good thing, I mean there should be a manual override of some sort to turn off the freakin' beeping. Anyways, if a thief is trying to break into your car, what good will two minutes of beeping do? I was standing there outside next to the car but no one was looking. This is why somethings should be re-engineered/designed, I mean I was locked inside my own freakin' car (if I unlocked or opened the door, the car would've started going crazy but I could still get out), I could've suffocated to death.

And the hockey season has started once again:
The Sens are 2-0 already with 2 wins against the Leafs. Gerber's playing in net was decent. By locking Heatley in a 6 year $45 Million contract, they're sure to keep Spezza as well.

The NFL season:
Dallas will win.

T.V.:
This year, Air Farce will go live.
For the first year, I'm actually not looking forward to any specific television show at all. Almost every show will just make the same jokes, have the same endings, no suspenseful parts because it's too obvious what will happen. That new show with the guy that played Frasier seems pretty decent but I haven't watched it yet.

Now some optical illusions:
I agree with this one:

Waterfalls:

Face in here (I can't find it):

There's an arrow in here:

The last two are my personal favourites:

So is this:

Harry Potter Mania

OK, from a self-professed Harry-Hater: yeah, I got caught up by the whole hype and insanity of it all, and yeah, I liked the books even though I really really disliked the main character, and yeah, I got tired of getting the ending ruined before I got a chance to see for myself. So I bought the book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, first thing on Saturday morning. I'm not proud of it, and it cost me 25 bucks, but I'm pretty sure it was worth it, unless of course, Rowling decides that it would be a good idea to write a 7 book prequel to the series.

Honestly speaking, it was pretty short. I mean, it was still around 600 pages, but after Order of the Phoenix and Half Blood Prince, I was expecting an 800 page knockout, or something like that. Since by now, there are probably a trillion spoiler's out on the internet, I won't hesitate to tell you some myself. So first things first: was the ending what you would expect? Yes and no, I mean, there's really no big shocker here, but it's not that obvious either. I couldn't guess the ending until it was told, but, still, it was nothing like the whole "Snape kills Dumbledore" thing in Half Blood Prince. I don't really know what the biggest surprise was. If you were like me, and went in with the mentality that every single character could die with the exceptions of Ron and Hermione, the biggest surprise would be: if Luna Lovegood gets caught doing illegal stuff, why is she sent to Malfoy's dungeon, and not Azkaban? By this time in the story, pretty much everything that needs to be told is already told, except for two chapters at the very end of the book, giving away some Dumbledore and Snape's secrets. Honestly, I thought it was too convenient, how everything unfolds exactly at the end. And how Harry got to look at Snape's memories and talk to Dumbledore, and don't worry, Dumbledore is really dead, to tie up loose ends. It just felt unnatural how everything went. A lot of people probably thought that the fact that Snape is good after all, is a huge surprise, hate to break it to you, but it's not. Think about it, the old man isn't exactly an idiot, and he was pretty calm about dieing when he drank the potion at the end of Half Blood Prince, why would he suddenly be begging for his life? Some of the background characters died, probably the most important would be Lupin and Dobby,a bunch of others died too, but there wasn't any overly dramatic "avenge me!!!" scene. At the end of the day, the book is everything Rowling promised: some characters died, someone became a teacher at Hogwarts, and the final piece of the puzzle was put into place. I would still hesitate to call the last book a masterpiece, or even the best in the series. It seems that it was a lot less believable than some of the other books in the series. Maybe it was just the fact that it wasn't set in Hogwarts, but it lacked the order that the other books had. Most importantly, was it a satisfying ending the to series? Yeah, you have to admit that, there wasn't any glaring holes that you could point to and there was even an epilogue set 17 years into the future. Unless of course, you're like me, in which case, you were pissed off by the reason that Harry Potter managed to get out alive, again. All I could say was damn, the luck of this guy! I'll be totally honest: I wanted Harry Potter to die, that would make sense, right? He gets to be the tragic hero, and I get the satisfaction of knowing the idiot's luck had finally run out. But no, he gets to live forever, damn it all. Well, if you read this, I gave some important stuff away already, but not that much, so yeah, I would recommend you read this book. Whether from the library or the bookstore, it's your own choice, but I would still say the book and the series are one of the better ones available.

That's all for now, folks...

It's the summer...

Summer is finally here, and what a busy summer it is. I have a lot of stuff going on right now, which is really usual for me. So far, I haven't had a chance to do what I usually do in the summer to relax after 10 months worth of school work: sleep in until 10 and watch 8 hours of tv a day.

The first thing I did when I finished my exams was to go out and find a job. This being Calgary, it wasn't too difficult and I had my pick of jobs. After 2 days of job searches, there were two jobs that really intrigued me, one was working at Wendy's downtown, and the other was working at an Inkjet cartridge refill booth at a mall near my house. The Wendy's job was great because all the shifts were during the day, and it paid pretty well, $9.5/hour, high even by Calgary standards. But, there were downsides, for one, I would have to work in the kitchens occasionally, which I wasn't too keen on. Also, the job was only a summer one because the downtown Wendy's was only open Mon-Fri, 7:00-5:00. And I didn't really want to have to take a train to go to a summer job. So in the end I decided to take the Inkjet job. It paid $8/hour, which is pretty low by Calgary standards. It's pretty boring because you sit there for hours on end with only a few customers, and when they come, they tend to come in droves. But still, it was close to my house, and really liked the fact that I could go hours without any real work, even if I have to deal with annoying customers often.

Over the Canada Day long weekend, my parents took me to Edmonton. We didn't really do much, considering how gigantic the West Edmonton mall was. I have to say, I was pretty impressed. There were 3 parks inside the mall, and a skating rink. There were also 2 different food courts and plenty of attractions. It was pretty cool. It was a shame that the two roller coasters in the galaxy amusement were shut down for repairs though. But I did see a cool seal show, albeit without any traditional ball tricks. Then other major place I went to was Fort Edmonton Historic Park. The fares were pretty cheap considering how much activities they offered inside. And I loved the buildings they reconstructed, they looked really authentic, many of which actually had working water pumps and real wood burning stoves and stuff. There was also a historic Free Mason lodge that is still being used. We wanted to go to some activities downtown, but it was rained out, but it was still a pretty good weekend all around.On a related note, I was really impressed by the gas mileage on our Toyota, after driving to Edmonton from Calgary, the gas tank was still at least 60% full.

Started my online career/life management course today. Already fininished have of unit 1. Considering there are only 4 units I should be done pretty quickly. I kinda think it's a big waste of time because there are a lot of apparently useless stuff there, but I think I'll just be glad to finish the course when it's all said and done.

Started my driving lessons. First I wanted to take a few test drives with my dad in some empty parking lots before signing up for driving school so I don't look like a total idiot. Still got a lot to work on though, but my parking is coming along, even if I can't do anything else. One thing that was annoying me was the mirrors, I didn't really know where they were suppose to point to, so my blind spot was huge, but I'm sure they'll help me with that in driving school. And another thing that amazed me was how hard it was to line a car up exactly where you want it too. Hopefully, I'll be able to get my full license before next year.

Just a few more sports thoughts, the last until October:

-What's up with the New York Rangers? A lot of spending this offseason, kinda reminds you of a certain other New York team, doesn't it?
-A lot of draft day sliding for the NHL...
-There's a conspiracy going on to get Crosby the greatest team in the history of sports...
-I didn't like the fact that Phoenix got rid of both James Jones and their first pick for cash, come on, I'm sure you don't need money THAT bad.
-Zach Randolph to New York, Ray Allen to Boston, and Rashard Lewis to Orlando, looks like the North West are Oden-Durant territory now.
-Ray Allen and Allan Ray on the same team, cool!!!
-What's with the Houston Rockets getting so many guards when Yao Ming obviously needs help up front?
-Yi Jianlian will not be as good as Yao, mark it down. He's a good player, but no where near deserves the hype he's been getting.
-Kobe needs to stop complaining and remember who wanted Shaq out of town the most
-Shaq's show is awesome!!!
-Raptors are too good, even if MoPete leaves

That's it for now folks, enjoy your summer...

Summer vacation

Just had my final test, I only had 2, so I managed to finish pretty quickly. Anyways, so summer vacation is here, so why am I not excited?

Don't get me wrong, not having to go to school is great, but it just seems to be that summer vacation has lost a lot of it's...flair, I guess, compared to just a few years ago. As usual, the vacation started horribly: I learned that I loat some psychology book and will now have to pony up to cover my own ass, and then I went to the bank to cash a check, and somehow, in the three minutes that I was there, the computer managed to CRASH! First they told me that it was all good and that the transaction had been saved so that I would still get my money, but when I checked again a few hours later, they basically told me "What check?" Now I don't know what I should do. It was $35 for a tie rufund from my band teacher, so I guess it's not a lot, but for me, it's a huge blow considering I'm already owing money to the school. So yeah, that sums up my horrible day. Before, when things like this happens, I could usually count on the summer to be great and refresh me and get me ready for school. But now, I'm just annoyed that I'll have so many things to do this summer: get a job, get my driver's license, study for the SAT, take my online course.

The online course is apparently really easy, so I'm not too worried about it. But still, it's a month of school that I would really rather not have to do.

As for the SAT, I know I don't really have to take it, but I would like to see how much I can score and maybe go to the States for university. Again, it's a LOT of studying that I would really rather not have to do.

Now, I realize a lot of you probably think: "you're retarded, a driver's license is a great thing, just imagine the freedom!!!" And you're probably right, except I doubt my parents would actually let me drive the car when I'm alone, and if they're there, it seems pointless for me to drive. Sure, I suppose I could try to save up for my own car, but that would cost a LOT, more than I can realistically earn anytime soon. So, you'll have to forgive me that I'm not excited about trying to get a driver's license that I won't even use for a few years.

I'm not sure it's the job search or the job itself that annoys me. I just don't want to get a job. I've sent out a resume to the library since they're my primary option. Their pay is horrible for Calgary though, $8, considering every fastfood restaurant out there is offering wages in the $9-$10 range. But they probably won't hire me since they are pretty full anyways, so I won't have to worry about that. Then I was thinking something along the lines of McDonald, you know, your average fastfood place, but I'm not really excited, for obvious reasons. Then there's the fact that I don't really have that much use for money right now anyways.

Now, you're probably saying: "you are an idiot! if you don't want to do this stuff, then just don't do it!!!" A valid point, but I really need to take the online course to free up some time in my grade 12 year for ap courses. And I don't hate the SAT, just the studying that preceeds it. The driver's license I'll have to get eventually, so why not now? But the job is completely my parents' doing...

So yeah, that's my summer plan, not excactly the greatest vacation idea. But I guess summer is suppose to be a fun time, so what are you doing reading this depressing post? Go outside, hang out with your friends, play a ball game to stay active, or just go take a walk to soak in the summer sun...cause before you know it, school will be just around the corner

LONNNNNNNNNNNNNG And Crazy Rant About How Horrible The Weekend Was

Editor's Note: Wow, I just realized that we're the #1 hit on Google for the entry "teemu salami injuries", I think that deserves a pat on the back...

Wow, where to start, there were just so many things to complain about. I'll just start with my job:

K, I tutor this 7th grader right? So his mom called a few days ago and told me that I needed to work on his English from now on instead of math. So great, I'm game. On Friday, I thought he was coming, so I had to cancel going to registration for my online learning thing. Guess what? He didn't show up, apparently, his mom was busy and told his dad to take him, but he managed to talk his dad into going to the gym or something...seriously, and you wonder why he's grades need improvement. So his mom called me Saturday to reschedule; fine, I guess I have nothing better to do on weekends. Whatever, I'm getting paid. So the kid comes over. Here is the exchange:

Me: Hey
Him: Hey
Me: Where's your English book?
Him: Didn't bring it.
Me: I see, but your mom told me to work on English with you.
Him: *shrugs*

*Sigh* Fine, I guessed that I'll have to do something else. So I had him do a haiku and a limerick to see where he's at. Anyways, the poems weren't great, but he said that they were just starting the unit, so I let it go. Then, I asked him to do a paragraph. After 10 minutes of coaxing, he finally agreed. The paragraph was only 5 sentences, yet it still took him like half an hour. During which time, I was looking up a lesson plan thingy. Anyways, he finishes the paragraph, with horrible hand writing I might add. I let him read over the lesson plan and let him see what is wrong with his paragraph. Of course, being done, he refused to correct it and insisted that it was good. By the way, I was already a little pissed at the attitude. But whatever, I told him to do another paragraph, this time it was a bit harder, he argued for half an hour and still refused to do a paragraph. Fed up with the crappy attitude, I explain to him why he had to do it, but the guy just threw it back into my face. Fine, I'm done, I asked him what he wanted to do if not a paragraph, and he told me he wanted to do an online activity. Great, right? But you have to understand, there was no freaking way I was going to let him go on the computer when he's just going to get off-track and go on hotmail. So for the next half hour, we argued about his attitude problem, we're not even done and the mother tells me to let him out. I asked whether it'd be a good idea to let him go even though his not finished, but the mom just told me to continue next time. Great, the guy gets that stupid smirk on his face to remind me that he got saved by mommy...again...Whatever, I'm done, if he doesn't want to work on English, he can explain it to his mom, from now on it's just math.

***

Another thing I had to do this weekend was work on melodic scales and a few songs...so needless to say, that sucked. Don't get me wrong, I get the whole thing about doing scale helps playing, especially the runs, but I don't really see the point of memorizing all 12 melodic ones. Some of them are just so little used. The songs I was working on weren't too hard, Blue and the Gray, a piece called Viva Espania, and a passage from a piece called Sleeping Place of the Stars. So the actual songs weren't so bad, but what pissed me off was that I would have to go play 2 concerts next month, all on PD days. It just sucks. We're playing for the Graduation, and the year end concert is the night after. Seriously, that's just horrible. I can't even do anything that weekend now.

***

K, so I missed out on summer school last year cause I had to move right. Well, no way it happens again to me. So I registered last week. But what caught my eye was the online course that runs through July for CALM(career/life management=career/civics). So I got a form from the counselor and everything. Then I found out that the online course has to be registered in person in some really far away place. And guess what, the registration office hours are Monday to Friday 9 to 4. Really, that is just a bit much for me. Who works like 6 hour days? Not only do you go to work at 9 and get to sleep in, but you have to get off at 4? You must have some union. Glad to see tax dollars getting paid to hard working citizens.

***

So then I still have a slimmer of hope for a good weekend, sports! But that too was dashed. Rockets, Raptors, Mavericks, Ducks, Sens, they ALL lost over the weekend, the Raptors and the Mavericks TWICE! But there were basically 2 loses that really pissed me off, Mavericks on Friday, and Rockets on Saturday. The other ones were bad too, but the Sens and Ducks lost very close games, and let's face it, the Raptors are just so inexperienced, especially without Garbajosa. But the Rockets and Mavericks were just disgraceful.

So the Mavericks got totally blown out of the water on Friday. The game wasn't even as close as the final score indicated. They were just totally lost. They lost their composure. And Dirk Nowizki was just bad, not even close to MVP form. No wonder they lost. The Warriors were just way too fast for them, just swarming the Mavs. And the thing is, Dirk's +/- rating is so low right now, I don't get why Avery Johnson just doesn't take him out. I know he's suppose to be the man and everything, but can't you see that he's just not a good match up for this team? Geez, I say either go small and beat the Warriors at their own game or go San Antonio's way and impose your will, if you can. But don't go to a small line-up, but still leave Nowizki on.

The Rockets got destroyed too. It was just so bad. They have nobody on the team capable of doing anything but Yao and Tmac. One play said it all: there was a break away in the 3rd, I think, and two guys, probably Alston and Head or something are against Fisher, but neither wanted to take the bucket, after like 5 passes, Fisher stole the ball! What the hell!!! Fisher is tiny and very old, why wouldn't you just take it to the hole!!! It's like the entire Rockets team are just waiting for either Yao or Tmac to score, it's disgraceful. And there was no urgency either, the team just seemed so relaxed and didn't care about heading back to Houston 2-2. The coach wasn't great either. I think JVG is a great coach, but I really thought it would have been a good idea to bench Yao to start the 4th, for similar reasons as the Dirk argument. If the Rockets miss the 2nd round again, I'll be so pissed. And if it happens, someone needs to be traded, either Tmac or Yao, cause let's face it, this is about as good as this group is going to get what with everyone healthy and all. So here's hoping.

K, I'm finally done...p.s. I guess it wasn't all bad, I got to see Brady Quinn's freefall...

Silence can say more than a thousand words

In honour of those killed/wounded in the Virginia Tech massacre. My condolences to those affected. Especially the professor who survived the Holocaust and blocked the doorway so he could sacrifice himself and give the students more time to escape.

Random Rumblings

Oh well. Yeah, my fantasy hockey season is over. Well, not technically, cause I'm still "fighting" for the third spot, but my championship hopes are officially dashed. Guess I'll have to wait until next year to win a championship in every one of the "big four" leagues. (I would count the real football, but if I start doing EPL, I'll have to also do La Liga and Serie A and a whole bunch of other stuff that'll make my life really difficult to manage, so I'll just stick with North American leagues, for now anyways.) It sucks though, cause I was so close; the final score was 3-5-2, but what makes me so angry is that just 3 more assists (not coincidentally, what Chris Pronger brings to the team), or 2 more power play points, and I would have walked away the winner. Oh well, I'll be better next season.

Spring break next week, it's good and all, but it could be better. In fact, you know what? It's probably gonna suck because a: Good Friday is inside of it, so I don't get another day off(yes, I'm greedy like that), b: I'll be stuck inside all week doing my gargantuan science project on gunpowder and firearms, and c: I'll have to memorize melodic minors over the break, which I hate.

Just had a poetry presentation today, it totally sucked. We had to "act", and we basically ran out of time and the teacher was so pissed. We had to hurry up in the end and didn't even present a whole bunch of stuff, and since the presentation was worth 100% of the mark: my group is basically screwed. Oh well, my report card this term won't show anything, so I'll have the whole next term to make up for it.

Literacy Test...

Yay, tomorrow is the literacy test, if you're reading this Karl, shut up...
But seriously, what a waste of time, I mean, "Which button do you press to navigate through the site?" "A. Site Map B. Francais C. Documents D. About Us"..
So at least it's a shortened day.. YAY

If I fail the Literacy Test, I'm gonna be so pissed...

On a side note, the Sens lost to the Bruins yesterday...


PS Sympatico blows, 3 months and they still don't know what the problem is... so we switched to Rogers, the like most expensive internet company EVER!

The Wheels are Falling Off!!!

Ahhhhh, I cannot believe this: Ok, I'm in the final week of regular season for my fantasy hockey team, TehNoid. Currently, I'm in 5th place with 230 points, the 4th place team also has 230 points (he's in front of me because his record is 105-95-20, and mine is 103-93-24, and the tiebreaker is # of wins), the 6th place team(final playoff spot) has 221(96-95-29), and the 7th place team, ice it(who has the tiebreaker between us), has 216(99-103-18). This week, my final regular season game, I play the 7th place team. By all accounts, I should be able to come out alive and ready to face the 4th place team in my first hockey post season, in order for him to beat me, ice it would have to get either 8-0-2, 9-1-0, 9-0-1, or 10-0-0 to get past me for the playoffs. But here is the problem: he's beating me 8-0-2!!! And I haven't had a single game worse than 2-7-1 the entire season!!! And to add salt to the wound, Chris Pronger, my 2nd best player, got hurt, again!!!(the hockey gods are punishing him for his betrayal!!!) So I had to pick up Thachuk to stop the bleeding. Please, if you can here this, Danny Heatly and Ray Emery, I need a 3point outing and a shut out reeeaaalll badly.

Random Rumblings

All right, if you want to know why Boyang has posted the last 10 posts in a row, it's becaus a: I was lazy, b: I was at lmom forums. I'm in a battle with Boyang for first place(I don't know how he finds the time for this stuff). So here's my latest Random Rumblings.

I hate television, no, I'm serious, I really, really, REALLY hate television. Why? Because it's just so damn addicting. It's like some kind of feaky mind drug. For instance, this weekend, I had an English paper Monday, a science assignment due Monday, a band festival thing on Tuesday, a psychology journal entry due Wednesday, and a HUGE English assignment due Wednesday. I figured I would have to work my ass off just to finish. And what'd I do? I planted my ass(which was suppose to be working) square in front of the TV, I must have spent at least half the weekend watching TV. But in my defense, the stuff were good...ok, fine, not good so much as not horrifically bad: I was watching Jurassic Park III on Friday, I'd watched it for just about a million times, but I couldn't resist the thought of bloody severed bodies...then the kid that I tutor came over, so I had no time to work (by the way, he got an 87% on his last math final, but now he's just tuning me out)...then, on Saturday, I was watching Chronicles of Riddick(ok, I admit it, that was horrifically bad, but I still couldn't take my eyes off it), Underworld, and Matrix Reloaded(it gets worse every time)...and on Sunday, the last day I had to work I was watching Bulls-Pistons, Cavs-Heat, Van Helsing, and Tomb Raider. So I was pretty much screwed this entire week; but luckily, the full effects of my screw-up won't be entirely felt until next week.

So the other day I was on the train right? And standing next to me(it's WAY too crowded) was this girl from like grade 5 or 6, 7 tops, anyways, she pulls out a CELLPHONE(and it wasn't a crappy one either) from her HANDBAG and starts TEXT MESSAGING, after she was done, she plugged in her IPOD VIDEO!!! I know I was on the bus, but I think I still murmured to my self "what the hell?" I mean, c'mon, how does a 12 year old need a handbag, or ipod, or cellphone?!?!?!?!? This is getting ridiculous. What is she carrying in that handbag?!?! PENCIL CRAYONS!?!?! And who in the world is she gonna call with that cellphone?!?!?! Her mom?!?! I'm afraid that mainstream television has corrupted us all, and I just realize it now.

*Editor's note: The ensuing paragraph is in noway intended to sound racist, if you take it that way, I'm sorry to inform you that your are easily offended

What is up with multiculturalism?!?! The government just keep shoving it down our throats. And don't get me wrong, I think multiculturalism is great...like communism is great, it's paradise if everyone actually are cooperated, instead it's just a sham, a politically correct sham. Have they actually seen the cities in Canada? Every one just groups around their own little town, the Italians have little Italy, the Chinese have China Town, the French got the whole province of Quebec, and the Natives? Well, they got the territories and a few reserves scattered here and there. Is that really multiculturalism?!?

Now on to my usual sports stuff: Apparently, all top 50 players in Pick-One fantasy basketball hates me. Kobe got 22 points(cumulated points+rebounds+assists) when he averages around 40; Agent Zero got me 30 points when he gets 41 usually(OK, so those weren't too bad, but you have to understand, I'm only picking them against the leagues worst teams, so they should do better than average, not worse); and here's the worst news: Memhet Okur, Caron Butler, and Mike Miller COMBINED gave me less than Cutino Mobley, soI guess you could conclude that Mobley must be a hell of a player, right? Wrong!!! He got me 21 points!!! I'm still in the 91% though, mostly because most people quit midway through the season.

Hockey playoffs start the week after the next. Not the real one of course, the fantasy one. I'm in 4th place, but it doesn't matter, I've basically clinched spot anyways. Unfortunately, Christ Drury and Brian Gionta chose this time to get injured, and my goalies are still too inconsistent. But if I get extremely lucky and Ray Emery catches fire for the final 3 weeks of regular season, I can win!

I'm also playing in fantasy braketology for March Madness, here's hoping Kevin Durant pulls a D-Wade/'Melo.

I've joined a baseball league, yes, I hate baseball, but I had nothing better to do, ok I do, but I wanted to win a fantasy championship in each of the big four leagues in the same season. My best player is David Ortiz, and I don't really know the rest of the players.

That is all, from here on out, I'll try to make a lot of shorter posts instead of one gigantic post every month.
