Just My Luck

So my Mom decided to go out to dinner with her boyfriend and, of course, I'm stuck in bed- sick.
I'll have you know that it doesn't help me heal to have the doorbell ring every 2 seconds and to hear some little boy yell "fucking lazy-ass bastards" on occasion.
Whatever though, I'm not really a huge fan of Halloween nowdays.
When I was young, I was obsessed though.
Every year I'd make my vavo's porch look like a spiderweb with toilet paper and I'd help her stuff my grandpa's clothes to make dummies.
One year I even made a full-out haunted house.
Buttt this year I get to do nada, not even watch a horror movie.. after watching Paranormal Activity, though, I think I'm done with horror movies for quite a while.
Welll hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow so I can finish the hardest bio assignment of my life, a chem lab, and make time to study for a chem test.
Yeah, we have to make a dramatic presentation of the Calvin Cycle for bio :| like.. really?
Ughhh whatever. All my best work is done when it's completed at the last minute.

PS. To all my friends who decided to go trick-or-treating today: Grow the fack up :)

30 October 2009

I look into your eyes, I want to get to know yah;

& then you make this noise and it's apparent it's all over

I just set em up to know em down

This continues to be one of my number 1 pump up songs :)


Sorry

Just wanted to apologize to everyone who I kinda brushed off this week because of school.
I was so busy with homework and after-school stuff that I basically turned off my phone and responded to no texts.
But those who know me well know I either take forever to respond to texts or don't respond at all, even to the ones I love most. :)
If I take a long time, it probably means I have enough faith in our friendship that I can trust you won't be disappointed about my slowness and will be fully understanding.
I could never be friends with someone who had to text and talk to me 24/7. The best of relationships receive the most space and oxygen to grow. Too much is toxic.

29 October 2009

Sick (N)

Sooo I was sneezing a bit this morning, kept sneezing more and more throughout the day, and by the student council meeting I was sneezing up a storm. It's getting really bad.. and I have a chem project to finish right now. FML.
But it feels good to know I'm not alone.. everyone's getting sick. :)
ughh back to work.

28 October 2009

My 2nd Idol

Dr. Oz is my first, hands down. But Shane Dawson might be my second. He's so jokes. His videos make my day. :) Here's one of my favourites.

I'm starting up again just to keep us from losing it


A Gondola Ride in Paris - The Messenger

Shifting Interests

I'm done with my games with you.
I feel like we've been playing cat and mouse all my life. I've grown tired.
It's time to make a gamble.
I don't care if it'll screw me up in the end, I'm up for the adventure.
And if I get what I want, it'll be so worth it.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take;

but by the number of moments that take our breath away.

nyc

One day, forever.

Drama Room Renovations

NEW FLOOR :)
I was so stoked when I walked in there Monday morning.
We're going to be painting the walls all black too.
We already did one wall even though we weren't really supposed to.. it was so jokes. We had to finish it quickly in one period before the custodians came second to seal the floor. We were doing well until the head custodian came in to bring us a mop for all the white powder stuff I spilled everywhere. 0:) But he didn't care.
Ahh I love drama class. I just wish it wasn't first period so I wasn't so dead.

Work & Play

Two different things.
Two different relationships.
No, I won't be as easygoing while working.
I take that shit seriously, and you should too.

No Rewinding

I shoulda just stopped thinking all about myself for a second and taken the time to stay.
It wasn't even that important for me to go.
But maybe it wasn't really a hint after all and I'm over-analyzing.
After all, I can't let myself do all that again- it'll fuck up what's taken almost a year to fix.
I like the way things are now.
But I kinda miss that;
Sitting in the dark, hiding from the busy world, and taking the time to just stop together and be a way we can't seem to be with many other people- you to be you and me to be me.

Self-Fact #12

When I keep a straight face or when I'm just sitting in a chill kinda way, people will ALWAYS think something's wrong.
Apparently "I'm always smiling or have something to say" and, once I stop, I'm "pissed".
lmfao.. I have a relaxed, serious side to me too.. D:

Don't trust a hoe, never trust a hoe;

Well it all makes sense then..
Understanding &. Trust

And, at the end of the day, through all the laughs and smiles,

I know the bitch don't know how to do either, trust.

Careful.


Paranormal Activity

Just watched it online with Michelle..
Am I the only one that thought people hyped it up way too much?
PS. To anyone who thinks that shit was real: LMFAO, really now? :|

I'm going to do what I gotta do,

to make sure you fully regret that.

25 October 2009

Test my arms, kick like crazy;

I've been trying way too long.

...are you serious?

That left an unforgettable sour taste.

Chasing the Mystery

Yeah.. I don't know.
I have this thing where I'm given advice, totally agree with it, yet don't listen to a word of it in hope that things might pull through.
Bottom line: you were right. 110% full-out right.
I'm wasting my time. It's draining my energy and draining me. I can't focus. Yet I'm stupid enough to regain all hope over the smallest things.
But there's something about mystery that always seems to posses me. It feels amazing when things get heated, but then the high gets addicting. It's like fucking crack.
Screw the relapses. I need to pull myself together.
But that being said, it'll forver be a never-ending helpless chase.

New Obsession


Starbucks' Black Tea Miso

Self-Fact #11

I'm kinda a health freak.. not really by choice though.
My mom insists on buying the healthiest possible option of every kind of food.
And for dinner, I'll never have a side of fries- it's always salad or potatoes.
It's kinda weird though because it's really rubbed off on me.
I mean, I'm so used to eating the way my mom makes me at home that when I go out, I make choices she'd probably make for me.
I guess I've kinda outgrown junk food.. and I don't really mind it.
Even when I kinda feel like snacking on popcorn or cookies, I'll settle for berries, baby carrots, or grapes.
I can't even remember the last time I ate fries come to think of it.. or fast-food.

The Silver Lining

Chill night. :)

I miss my bed

Finally.
Another school week over.
This had to be one of the most brutal in my highschool career.
It was pretty blahh.
I was up until literally 2:30 or 3 doing assignments, studying, or memorizing lines.
Glad it's all over though.
But does this mean I finally get to sleep?
I freakin wish.
Whatever though.. at least I'll be going somewhere besides school.
Tonight I'm heading over to Jack Astor's for Cait's dinner party then maybe hanging around the area probably.
Tomorrow I have to wake up at the crack of dawn to go downtown for U of T's open house and then book it back home before the evening to make it to Fear Fest.
I don't know how I'll be able to do it.
Whatever, though it should be fuckin JOKES.
So stoked to piss myself with everyone :)
I know some bitch is gonna get knocked out considering the people I'm going with :P
Buttt yeahh so Sunday would be my only resting day but of course I have a chem project, chem homework, bio homework, and a drama performance to get ready for.
I was thinking of selling my bed.

I gotta know,

Why so serious?

Pet Peeve #12

People who are always miserable.
If you're going to be a constant buzzkill then keep to yourself, work out your shit, and then come talk to me.
You'll never see me going around with a violin moaning about my problems. I might say a sentence to let something out, but then I just proceed to enjoy the moment. If I have a serious problem, I'll go to someone I trust, explain my story to them one day, then be independent and get over it. You should too.
I mean.. don't get me wrong, I love to help a friend out when they're going through a rough path, but the line is drawn when there's a daily "crisis".
Especially to people around my age, if you think you have a lot of problems now, I don't want to know how you'll be able to deal with yourself when you graduate.
Level up. You don't know how good we have it.

Self-Fact #10

I own over 10 different colognes :/
My favourites are probably Jake by Hollister, Crave & Euphoria by Calvin Klein, and Valentino.
I also have Lacoste Essential, Lacoste Red, Hugo Boss, Guess, Chase by abercrombie, The One by D&G, & some Ron Jon Surf Shop one.
I have to be wearing cologne everywhere I go.
It's my thing.
I even keep some in my locker in case I forget in the morning.

I'd like to make myself believe;

that planet Earth turns slowly.

It won't matter now if the cameras come,

cause they won't recognize who they're taking pictures of.

No, I don't like the change.

The greater the jump, the greater the fall;

Senior Sunrise

Senior Sunrise '09/'10
Didn't think I'd actually have the energy to be at school for 6 am.
It was pretty chill though. Literally and figurateively speaking.
Can you find me in the pic?
Hint: I killed it with my cocky pose :)

Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?

I've never felt better and you can't stand it.

It's about time,

that I called you out.

All-Nighter Diary

WOOO.
2nd all nighter of grade twelve.
Totally forgot about a chem assignment soooo im up doing that.
But anyway, Im at my avos for the weekend while my mom is on a shopping trip in New York.
Soooo yeah Ive been here for a couple of hours and my clothes already probably reek of sardines, shurees, and moosella. Mmmm sexy.
Senior Sunrise is tomorrow.
Gotta wake up before the crack of dawn. fml.
Not a morning person at all.
I should be in a good mood tomorrow..
Guess I'll have to drug myself with energy drinks for breakfast.
Those things only gimme an hour of energy though.
ughh

15 October 2009

Meh

You're like a book that's becoming harder and harder to read after each chapter.

Honestly,

you're the only reason I can get through the day with a smile.
You're never around, but always on my mind.
Even if shit crumbles down around me and I want to relapse on the things I regret, you keep me focused.
It may just be a few minutes or a couple hours we have to catch up at night, but we both know how much it means to the both of us.
Thanks, seriously, thank you.

"I've never been to a country club. Do we need cowboy hats?"

haha that line made the day.
pretty good times on the SAC retreat today.
i love council this year.
ripped my AA sweater though (N)

Portugal 4-0 Malta

Thank God.
Malta's the shittiest team in their group but Portugal needed to win this to maintain their comeback.
Honestly, I gave up on them a while ago once they had to rely on good teams to lose to pass them.
They've been really lucky in that but, at the end of the day, if they do qualify, they're going to have to step their game up to go anywhere.
Portugal always just gets by though, so I got hope. :)
If all else fails, I become a Brazil fan.

Self-Fact #9

I refuse to wear my uniform or any proper clothes around the house.
The second I get home, I strip down to my boxers and sometimes I'll throw on sweatpants.
If I don't do this, I start to shake.
Idk I just need to be as comfortable as possible.

Haircut,

I look like Peter Pan.
I'm happy with it though, it really needed to be cut.
Especially in the back.
It should be a lot easier to work with now.
It's a lot cleaner and thinner.
I'm content.
Thanks again Laura. :)

That was great,

but this is so much better.
:)

12 October 2009

Self-Fact #8

I'm afraid of rejection.
I've only been rejected once in my life when it's actually mattered to me.
But I deserved it, I was being an idiot.
How could I have expected acceptance on those terms?
It made me kinda bitter over the next few months but I'm over it now. I've grown.
Everything's back to how it was a year ago, and I love it this way.
The amount of trust we're already putting in each other we can only put in a very few amount of people in our school.
But I like just staying really close like this without confusing it for something more y'know?
I'm sorry for putting you in a really awkward position.
Not gonna lie though, that one evening had to be one of the wildest of my highschool career.
Still can't believe that happened. That was right out of a movie I'm telling you.
Thanks for the memories, hope the past is all in the past, & I'll continue to be here for you whenever you need me. I got your back.

I found this on some random losers blog :P
But I like it.

"At this moment, there are six billion, four hundred seventy million, eight hundred eighteen thousand, six hundred seventy one people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just not facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world, six billion souls. And sometimes...All you need is ONE."

Self-Fact #6

10 October 2009

Self-Fact #5

I don't know why, but I'm everyone's go-to-guy for problems.
I'm amazed by the amount of trust some people are able to put in me.
What's weird is that a lot of these people aren't even that close to me so I generally wouldn't expect them to tell me deep, personal feelings or big secrets.
I don't mind it though.
I actually like hearing problems or stories.
I guess this all happens because I've been told I give really good advice- I cut the bullshit. I don't sugarcoat and give people false hope only so that they find themselves disappointed sooner or later. I'm real.

Most people look at me and think I'm just a happy-go-lucky go-getter white guy but that's just how I like to present myself in public. I'm not "wearing a mask" when I do this- I just like to be presentable and positive when I'm with people. No need to be a buzzkill.
But that being said, I've had a lot of past experiences that most people would be shocked to know about. I've gone through a lot. Both good and bad. But there's no need to speak of the bad. I never do. I've dealt with it 110%. I learn from my mistakes just like I learn from my success. And I put everything I learn and common-sense into the advice I give.

Pet Peeve #12

I cringe when people eat off my plate or drink out of my drink.
I don't know what it is, but when it comes to food I'm one greedy muthafuka. :)
There are very few people who are exceptions to this though.

07 October 2009

Fear Fest

Might be going on Saturday with Pauls people if I don't end up going to the cottage. :)
SOOO stoked.
I love that kinda stuff off.
I always laugh so hard to the point of tears.
I'll probably go again with Xavier/Gonzaga friends though.
They'll be just as much fun to laugh at. :P

Self-Fact #4

Aloe water & Arizonas are love.

University Preferences

I'm pretty much set on U of T @ St.George (downtown) campus.
I don't see anything wrong with it. It's everything I want.
I need to be living in the city with my dad ASAP.
I never see him..

Self-Fact #3

When I first meet someone, I'm kinda over-observant. I don't know, I just like to get an accurate first impression of people. Usually I'll be calmer and ask a bunch of questions.
.. but then, once I get to know you, I don't know how to stfu. :)

You'll be my only,

no need to worry.

Homecoming tomorrow :]

Kinda stoked.
Even though its all grade nines.
But whatever, as long as council people are there it should be fun.
I was assigned to be greeter again :)
So basically I just say hi to people while everyone is coming in and then dance the whole night.
CCCHECK IT.
It's bubble time.

Pet Peeve #11

Grade 9 girls who inbox you for no apparent reason and compliment you as if they have a chance. Girl I'd break you if I even held your hand.

Won't say any names. :)

My biggest FML ever..

It happened today.

It all started when I got home Friday after school. I was eating a bowl of Mr. Noddles (my life) at the table watching TV and my Mom sits down and says she needs to talk to me. Instantly, I got really nervous and expected it would be something epic. So I mute the TV and become all ears. She then proceeds to pull out like LEGIT 30 condoms out of her pocket and pushes them on the table towards me. My eyes widened and I looked down at them as if she just passed me over hardcore drugs. It's not the idea of them being condoms that tripped me out, cause I've had them before, but the fact that my mom was giving me condoms- not to mention dozens of them. I was shocked. Why the fuck was she doing this? She then goes on to say, "I know you're at that age where there is a good chance where you'll... well... 'play around' and I thought you might be too embarrassed to ask for these." I was speechless. Not only were they just condoms, there were some twisted, some flavoured, some ribbed, and some for extra sensitivity. :| With a subtle "Thanks", she left me sitting there and returned to the kitchen.

BUT THAT'S NOT THE FML. Yeah, there's more..

So of course I decide to leave all the condoms on my desk in my room thinking I'll put them away later. Of course, the weekend goes by and they stay there, on my desk, untouched. SO, I'm sitting in bio class today and I get a text from my mom asking if I remembered to push all my furniture to the center of my room since my room is being painted. She then proceeds to ask where I put the condoms. Then, I came to realize: I LEFT THE LIFE SUPPLY OF THEM ON MY DESK. Not only that, but the painters we hired are family friends. As I type this, they're upstairs painting my room. I can just imagine the sex maniac/nympho they must think I am.

FML.

Maybe that's why I can relate to them so well.

Can kinda relate to this one at the moment because of someone.

Self-Fact #2

I listen to really soft music when I'm alone. :)


Brighter Than Sunshine - Aqualung

Audition by Michael Shurtleff

Just finished this one for drama class.
I really liked it. It'll be really useful to refer to for future auditions. There's a lot of things he says that could probably help you with interviews in general, too. Some of the things he says even go beyond that and are really deep commentaries on life and humanity.


Self-Fact #1

Kinda like how I have numerous posts of pet peeves, I'm going to start a collection of posts that are basically random facts about me.

First one:
I love studying and being home while it's pouring rain outside.

Astrology is legit

I know. As a Catholic, I'm not supposed to believe in it.
Shit, enough with the religious posts, eh?
But I find that like 9 out of 10 times, my horoscope is dead-on legit.
My zodiac traits match me pefectly.
Aries tend to be very dominant. Supposedly, I'm supposed to like action, being aggressive and confident, coming in first, being spontaneous, being decisive, and being very direct and expressive. And I swear to God those would all probably be the traits to describe me best. Also, I'm supposed to dislike waiting around, admitting failure, tyranny, feeling vulnerable, and other people's advice. Funny enough, I hate all those things.

My favourite part of astrology through is the compadibility trends. That shit has to be legit. As an Aries, I'm supposed to get along really with with Sagi's and Leo's for the most part, but also Gemini's and Aquarius'. 1000000000% true. I swear all my biggest crushes or closest friends have been from one of the four. If there are any exceptions, they're a Pisces. :)
I'm telling you I'm going to get married to a Sagi or Leo. I click with them all.

Me and Catholicism

I don't really know if I can truly consider myself to be a Catholic.
I mean, I 110% believe that there is a God, for sure. But I just don't believe in a lot of the things a "true Catholic" is supposed to stand for.
Basically, I don't believe in the Bible. I can't buy that Jesus "spoke into the ears" of the evangelists and other followers to write everything they did. I only think the true word of God should be worshiped. I think a lot of what the Bible does stand for is completely contradictory. If God allegedly condemns the breaking of all the 10 commandments, then why does he create some of us to have the mouth of a pirate, worship other idols, steal, fight, kill, sleep around etc. Now I understand that it's all "a test of our faith" and what not, but why would he then create people who do all of those thing their whole lives? And my would he provide humans with the intellect to come up with such innovative technology to the point where we are essentially able to "play God" through cloning? Also, if only so many people were alive during the writing of the old testament especially, how can the writers explain, with such vivid detail, all that happened. All in all, I think the main purpose of the Bible is to promote the many moral values/lessons that can be applied to a Christian or Catholic lifestyle. That I can respect. Well, most of it. I basically see it as a collection of stories, only being partially true or completely false, that are meant to teach rather than tell.
All I know is as long as I believe in God, pray, and live a positive lifestyle, I'll be just fine. I don't believe in the Bible as a rule book, but as a collection of lessons with some excess sections of complete contradiction.

The cottage

I love this place.
Best place to go to get away from the busy world and just think.
I love the city, but once I move to live with my dad in Toronto this summer, I'll have to come here more often.
Hopefully I'll get the keys and bring a bunch of people ever.
It make a kickass party house.
It's huuuuuge.
The people here are joookes though. So hick, but really nice.
Can't wait to go into town.
But first I'll be spending the day moving shit around and cutting the grass.
Hey, at least I get to use the tractor.
It's not as fast as the one I have at home though. :(

01 October 2009

Pat on the back

Current Mood: Proud.
One of the 7 deadly sins?
Whatever.
Turns out the cafe servery boycott was a huge success. Barely anyone bought food. In fact, the cafe only made $50 total.
I never would have thought, with the help of friends, that I'd be able to rally up so many people for one cause.
Anyways, next week I'll be meeting with the cafe food provider to discuss a revised menu.
I'm kinda super excited, although I feel kinda awkward from going from advising the whole school to boycott the business she manages, to sitting down with her and making a new cafe menu.
I'm very thankful she's chosen to listen though. I'm sure it will only benefit both the business and our school. It's all win-win.

I'm off to a leadership conference at Credit Valley Hospital in an hour. Apparently two students from every school in DP will be attending. It should be pretty interesting. I have no idea what we'll be doing though.

I feel like I've come along way since the way I used to be in grade 9. I was very selective of my friends, was into the typical teenager "trash", and didn't do much for the school besides council. Now, I've been on council all 4 years and have done sooo much extra stuff for the school. I've also broken out of my shell and tried to get to know everyone rather than confine myself to one clique. I'd recommend that move to anyone. I've definitely proven to myself that the more positivity you put into the world, the more you get back.

All in all, high school is really flying by. I can already see the end, and its kinda freaking me out.
