September 30 Nuit BlancheI'm hype about Nuit Blanche this year, I'm hoping it'll be as good as last year and I'm sure it will be.
Sunset to Sunrise
The only question left to ask is.. Who's coming with me?
">
Sleep is overrated September 26 Bored stiffI've benn pretty bored with the new lately, it's all the same shit different day. The super collider is out of commission until 2009.. bummer, problem with the magnets or something... So I've turned my attention to the more wonderfully natural side of things...
Ever wonder what a squids tenticles look like up mega MEGA close?
If you don't think that's cool then nothing is. September 20 Goodness and... stuff and... all around kick ass things!Yesterday I woke up at 2pm... I later went to bed that night...errr...morning at 6am....
From Thursday at 2pm to friday 6am I ate a total of just a little over 5000 calories... I almost threw up I think... then again maybe it was just gas or something. Anyways I didn't throw up or anything but I felt real heavy, like I had just ate a couple of bricks.
Funny tho, this whole time, this whole week I've been trying to put on weight yet I lack the most important thing... a scale... lol.
The news these days are so.... blah. I hope wall street tumbles, I hope people start jumping out windows, I hope the economy goes to shit, and then I hope we finally get rid of this fucking system we call capitalism. What to change to? I don't know, I'm no economist but anything has got to be better than this shit.
How many more banks and investment firms will go down before the years end? I'm thinking 2 more... maybe 3. Should be fun to see how it plays out. I wonder what Milton Friedman might say in the face of such an economic downfall?
Anyways moving on,
DJ Premier vs DJ Pete Rock!!
say what!!!!
For all the hip hop heads out there, you have to know bout this bad ass ma fucking show coming up at Circa this sunday.
Two of the greatest DJs of all time!?!?!
Premo is my fav DJ so you know I'll be there!
Next, Today gas was 1.13, I filled up. Suckers yesterday were being hit for 1.21 or so. It's so funny how people flip over gas. To be honest it doesn't matter to me, 5, 7, 10 more cents for a litre? big deal. Obviously it adds up with a fucking 75L tank but do you really need to driver that hummer? I know it's Canada but still! You're nuts! How is it that oil is over $100 a barrel yet the price per litre is lower than like the last few months, years even? If someone could explain the economics behind oil prices for me please do so... To be honest doesn't OPEC just get to do whatever they want? AND didn't we invade Iraq to get cheaper oil in the first place, oh no wait we were looking for weapons of mass destruction... that we never found.... unless you count oil... Just wait my friends.... better start buying stock in water cause it's gonna be making a big come up sooner than later. Trust me... I know... Water is going to be the most valuable resource in the world soon.... There's been a crazy rash of shootings in the Greater Toronto Area recently... that's what happens when you force kids to go back to school lol. No seriously, something should be done... I mean when I was in school no body got shot, you just got the shit kicked out of you. that's how you learned to become a... dare I say man? no, that's how you learn to take a shit kicking which would hopefully help you in developing into a reasonable adult who knows the pain and humiliation of having the shit kicked out of you. If you just roll up and cap someone you don't learn shit, it's like playing a video game, pull trigger, pull trigger. You're so not involved in the action that's happening. There's something about fists hitting skull, bone on bone action that's in so many ways is more satisfying that shooting... altho I do admire the way of the gun.... after all that's no joke either but really a gun is just for ego... like the man who buys a $100,000 car because he has a small penis. Them kids have got to grow the fuck up and learn to settle their disputes with either words or a one time fist fight like kids back in the day used to do with some bloody honor and respect. Damn punk asses.... For those of us who are trying to follow the Presidential election without all the fucking bullshit media hype and trash talk, here's an interesting little bit of comparative information. Where The Presidential Candidates Stand On 22 Issues And lastly another story I've been following and patiently awaiting... actully two things. One in the immediate future and the other is still like a year away. I will start with the latter. Alan Moore's Watchmen. I've been waiting patiently for some time now and have seen the preview a couple of times and have read the novel more than a couple of times and I'm still wondering if the movie will do the book justice and I hope it does but what does the Alan Moore have to say about it? “I find film in its modern form to be quite bullying,” Moore tells Geoff Boucher. “It spoon-feeds us, which has the effect of watering down our collective cultural imagination. It is as if we are freshly hatched birds looking up with our mouths open waiting for Hollywood to feed us more regurgitated worms. The Watchmen film sounds like more regurgitated worms. I, for one, am sick of worms. Can’t we get something else? Perhaps some takeout? Even Chinese worms would be a nice change.” I have a feeling he's right. No movie adaptation has ever been able to match the original story it was based off. From every super hero movie, to lord of the rings all the way to Jarrasic Park and more. It is just a rehash of something that should most likely stay in the pages of Moore's wonderful world. Do yourself a favour and buy the watchmen and read the fucking ink off the bloody thing! But more importantly and immediatly.... EVERY ONES FAVOURITE "B" MOVIE ACTOR IS BACK!!!! NO! not Christopher Mcdonald but The one and only, give it up for Mr. Bruce Campbell! Here's a recent interview he gave about his new role in the TV series "Burn Notice" and his new up coming indie movie "My name is Bruce"
September 17 Super Size Me!I'm doing a little experiment with my body.
I am what people would call an "ectomorph" meaning naturally skinny with a high metabolism which means putting on weight for me is really hard.
I've weighed like... 120-130 for like the last 5 years of my life even more so probably.
I've never really conciously tried to gain weight or lose weight before. sometimes I eat with the best of them and other days I just happen to not eat at all. Very unhealthy.
So really I've decided to see if I'm really an "ectomorph" or if I just suffer from like.. malnutrition.
Supposedly I'm supposed to be consuming around 2000 calories to maintain my current body weight.
Like I said before some days I eat like 2000+ calories and other days I don't eat at all, on average I'd say I consume around 1500 calories a day.
Currently for the last few months I've been consuming roughly 1300-1700 calories a day which isn't even enough to maintain my current weight.
For anyone who's ever tried to bulk up or lose weight then you know it's mainly 2 parts, exercise and diet. You've gotta count the calories and have a work out plan. The third and most important part is consistency. Being able to maintian a schedule of eating, exercise for an extended period of time is the only way a real diet works.
So my experiement is this... to try and bulk up a minimum of 10 to a maximum of 20 pounds in the next 3 months or so.
Currently (as of monday) I will be consuming a gross 3500+ calories a day through 5-6 meals a day, about twice the amount of calories I used to have a day to gain weight. I will also be par taking in a "jail yard" exercise program. I have no time for a gym and have no access to weights so I'll be working out in the same fashion convicts do with nothing but imagination and determination. So in a few weeks time we'll see what's really going on with my body, whether I'm truly an "ecomorph" or have I just been malnurished for the last 5 years. Should be interesting.... Let the gluttony begin!.... I wonder if you can OD on calories? Wouldn't that be funny if I ate myself to death... September 16 That's some Lex Luthor kinda shitDaaaaaaamn. I'm not in the mood for writing or updating anything but I just wanted to keep you all in the loop of the "Big Bang" experiment I've been following.
I've never even thought of hacking into the 'big bang' experiment and now that it's been done... well shit, it makes me think we've.... they've got big problems.
I wonder what would happen if a hacker hacked in the 'big bang' experiment changed a few just a few minor things.... BOOM?
Or what if some dude was doing some maintenece in there then suddenly some hacker just starts the whole machine up? would he be fried or turn into like Dr. Manhatten? September 13 Vanity knows no endsSo it's 5am here... friday night. I've decided to do a quick check on the good ol' TV.
first stop
24 local news and weather. Shitty weekend ahead, not gonna be able to ride, that's a bitch.
After the local news I like to see the big lies which means channel 33, CNN. Ike category 2, weatherman is standing outside barely able to stand while being pelted by rain and that rain has gotta hurt.
This is probably going to be going on for awhile and I'm done.
Next Discovery, sports science, show where they analyze the sciene of sports. Says it all in the title. They're measure the force of football players when doing certain things. Like coming off the line and open field hits then comparing them to other contact sports such as rugby. Kinda cool but useless facts I'm not interested in.
Then the piece a la resistance. The history channel. Infomercial. For what?
All it takes is 21 minutes.... wow... I can't believe anyone would buy that.
Fucking history channel... I think there's enough history to cover that you wouldn't need to play infomercials... they must be starving for cash or something.
This is why I had to stop watching TV.
ok last hope, teletoon usually doesn't lets me down when i'm in the mood for TV.
Some how the best is always last.
September 11 9/11 The Falling Man....Do you remember the real 9/11?
I wonder how many people called in sick that day and how many were relieved and/or distraught that they weren't there with their co-workers when the shit hit the fan. September 10 A small victory for the PeopleFirst and foremost.
Thank the People!
It's a step in the right direction. This never would have been possible without the help of the people. This gives me hope, that the revolution is still on track. secondly, We're still alive which means the 'Big Bang' experiment started well Third, I've come to the conclusion that having a "Vehicle" for transportation is a vile thing. It's like a "gateway drug". When you have no other mode of transportation other than walking and bus, you're confined to a certain area and can only do certain things, which means only a certain amount of money can come out of your pocket at any given time. Now when you have a vehicle... it's like... temptation. Anything you want to have and anything you want to do is readily availible to you for a price. Basically the world is your oyster. It's the beginning of being trapped in a consumer/material world which one can never really fully escape. See now that's a scary thought, I can indulge every sick and twisted craving at any time. It's 8pm and I want a cheese burger, then i'm going to Mcdonalds. Shit it's 2am and I need drugs? well then I can meet a drug dealer. It's 4am and i'm having a hankering for beef jerky and 2L of ice cream well 7/11 is right there! It's 5am and I'm horny so I'll just head down to the "massage" parlor... Having a vehicle is a gateway to gluttony. Being able to fullfill your desires at any given time is a dangerous thing. The next thing you know, you will have emptied your bank account and are on a one way trip to Vegas with "Champagne" the "massage therapist" with 2 eight balls of cocaine. September 09 And there goes the neighbourhood...Now I've been following this story since I first caught wind of it... perhaps a year or two ago...
This has to be the most interesting and exciting thing the human race has ever tried to come up with. This has all the makings of an "end of days" scenario.
The idea of colliding particles and atoms near the speed of light has to be a little uneasy.
The scientists have all been saying that this is by no means "dangerous" they say that, "more powerful particles collide with the Earth everyday and the Earth is still here"
Well that's all fine and good, that's call Nature. What we're doing is beyond that, what we're doing is subject to human error, need I mention Chernobyl?
I mean really how the hell can they really tell us, "it's totally safe", what if the calculations are off by a .000000000001? That could spell disaster! A bloody freaking blackhole could form and suck us all in or the whole thing could just explode.
But ofcourse, it's like "Oh they're highly trained and brilliant scientists. I'm sure their calculations are correct" well they maybe highly trained but after seeing THIS, their brilliance is in question... or atleast their self respect.
Here we go againOk, so it's election time again.
You know even before the election was called on sunday Harper already had election commercials on TV, does anyone else find that odd?
Now I like the Liberals, I mean I like the idea of "liberalism" fuck the conservatives but really... I'm a green kinda guy which is why I'm really upset at
Now What the fuck is that about? Again? Come the fuck on! That doesn't sound very democratic. I mean truely if there are say 7 parties then should all be represented equally even if the "leaders debate" would take 5 hours. The people who watch the full 5 hours will be well informed and are making concious political decisions which they feel will impact and be the best for Canada.
"Canada's national television broadcasters have barred Green Party leader Elizabeth May from the leaders' election debates, to be held on Oct.1-2."
So basically it's going down like this, The TV networks along with Harper pretty much decided to fuck the green party. Then the so called "liberals" say,
"Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion had not objected to May's participation, but said that if Harper refused to participate, he would not either"
Wtf does that really mean? So if May were allowed into the debate then Harper will not show which means Dion won't show either.... shit, this is sounding pretty good actually.
And you know what pisses me off even more? the fact that they cut the green party for the fucking Bloc Quebecois! No one outside of fucking Quebec even votes for them, those fucking separatists! It's not like the Green party is a joke either like the Marijuana party of Canada.
Now I'm not telling you WHO to vote for. I'm just saying that it ain't fair. It's almost as if the other parties are scared of the Green Party making a come upins.
![]() September 06 Like a kid waiting for ChristmasNow I'm not one to value material objects. When I was younger I definitly was as most kids are, throwing temper tantrums and what not. I was a kid who wanted things but never bitched and complained about it... for the most part the things I wanted were small and of little value, so I just stole them.
As I grew up I slowly became aware of my surroundings and the concequences of my theft, so I stopped. In a way I knew when I was a kid, I wasn't really going to get in trouble... by the law anyways. When I was about 14 or so I knew I could get caught and charged so I stopped stealing... for the most part.
ok, I still stole things from time to time but it was done with the utmost care and planning. In term of legality, I assumed theft under $1000 would be my charge which isn't that bad really.
Anyways back to the point. In my recent years as an adolescent I've grown tired of material things and prided myself on knowledge. Especially in todays material world where a month makes you out dated from fashion to technology, it's been a blessing. Not having to keep up with the trends of the world, trying to be cool or accepted. Sure, I had a lot of pretty toys but nothing I've ever really wanted just things that came to me through family or friends, birthdays and christmas, even though I always asked for money.
Up until now I've never been one for material objects. Now for the last month or two I've been on a personal quest to get a vehicle and not just any vehicle.
I've been searching high and low both near and far and have come up with nothing. In the last 5 years I've never tried to purchased something of this monetary value.
As of recent, I've found the vehicle I want. I've contacted 5 or 6 sellers all whom have jerked me around and bit and eneded up selling the vehicle to someone else or the vehicle was not to my satisfactory. Most recently in the last week I was supposed to have it sunday from one person who screwed me, then I was supposed to have it Wednesday and was screwed again by another seller. Then I was supposed to have it thursday which didn't happen and now I'm supposed to get it Saturday and since I've been disappointed so many times I dunno what to think anymore. Most of you must be thinking "Buying used? why not new?" well I'd actually prefer to buy it new but every dealership from here to Detroit are out of stock and the company isn't making anymore of this particular vehicle so my only option is to buy used or wait for the 09 series which is the last thing I want to do. Who the fuck thought it'd be this hard to get a vehicle? Certainly I did not.
It's been a very strange feeling to want something that is an inanimate object. I've never experienced such highs and lows before waiting for something that well isn't really at all that important and that I really could live without. I can't believe the range of emotions one can feel about something so trivial. It's astonishing to me really. And somehow I know when I do get this bloody thing it's going to feel like a million bucks! But until then I'll just keep riding this emotional roller coaster. |
