Merry Christmas... heh... ehe.... so much for updating. So much and little has been happening, it's been too fun to stop and blog. Oh well! Happy Holidays!!

There's really lots to say and I may or may not be just saving it for another time. In any case, please take care of yourself and remember what is truly important to you.

I don't remember what I was going to put for the bad news for last Friday, but it probably wasn't important. Anyways, on about Delia's play, or "one act." It was titled "Business is War" and she played a lingerie model named Maleka. It was pretty good but for some reason Del was pretty peeved at her performance, not sure why. But about the play, it was pretty funny because although it was written by women, the play depended on female stereotypes. By that, I mean the dumb secretary, model, and overpowering boss bitch. But overall, it was awesome and made my night that day.

On Monday, we found out that my uncle passed away. My brother summed it up best saying that he never expected to experience a loss this close to home. I've told a few people this, but when we told my grandmother, there is nothing like watching a mother's heartbreak over hearing what happened to her son. It still doesn't seem real. We just visited my cousin's family over the summer, and now 3 short months later we can't visit him anymore.

Me and my brother lost an uncle, my dad lost a brother, his kids lost a father, his wife lost a husband, and his mother lost a son.

He seemed fit, we watched him play basketball and talk about raquetball. But still, he had some other habits that weren't changing even though his age was. It can't be true, it just can't be. He had a heart attack on his way to work, and it seems that his cholesterol and blood pressure numbers were troubling. My own dad's health was hitting rough patches and I was mostly unaware of it. It was a wake up call, and thanks largely in part to my mom he came back and lives life differently. There are so many variables that affect the body that it's so important to listen to your body and take care of it. Well, I've been entrenched in bad habits for eating and that's got to stop, I'm young now but I won't be forever. I still don't believe what happened...

He leaves behind a son, daughter, and his wife. Our thoughts are with him....

I'll elaborate this, but first the good news.

Saw Delia act! She played a model, which really isn't a stretch cuz she looks so great! But more on this later.

Also, looks like from the lack of updating from everyone in our 'lil circle it seems everyone has forgotten about blogs, or has gotten really busy from school. Maybe I should go study after I stare at the fishies.

Man... I ended up going to the Oilers game and should have clarified that I wasn't supposed to go. In any case, Oilers do pretty well but... can't win. 15 shots in the first period, San Jose has 1, but the score is tired!! WTF!

To the bottom post, you can't divide by zero. Anyways, it's going to be pretty hectic, gotta finish a big essay due on wednesday that I haven't started and I got a lab exam tomorrow. Then the real fun begins, as I have 4 exams next week and in an effort not to cram everything I've been trying to start early.

Friday I get a break because I'm going to watch a play at Archbishop Macdonald High School, where Delia goes. She's in what I'm assuming is a one act and I know it's gonna be good. She's a model!

In other news, due to the excitement of Sharkie in our house, we have an aquarium. Still not sure why. Anyways, we have 3 fishies in there. Bad news is Sharkie is so weak from living in poor conditions he can't live in the tank. Poor guy, he's dying slowly. He's getting whiter and not really moving at all. We're still all kind of amazed as to how he's lived to now. But yes, our aquarium is very cool, we have one male swordtail and two females. I'm gonna go watch them now... peace out!

Laws of math... broken!? Here we go,
A=B
A^2=AB
A^2-B^2 =AB - B^2
(A-B)(A+B) = B(A-B)
A+B=B

Who wants to goto an Oilers game? The condition is, you hafta go with my mom, dad, and my brother Keith. Keith, being a useless bum, isn't or can't find a friend to go. I hate to have such a ticket wasted....

Well that bottom post made me happy and thinking on a positive note. By the way, anyone have a good idea for me regarding what I should get for Delia for X-mas???

The meaning of life is 47. Has anyone ever heard of that? A long time ago, I looked it up and came across this long winded PDF document. The point that came across to me was very simple despite the document being a huge amount of pages. I'm not sure exactly what was being shown, but my intepretation was simple: The Meaning of Life is what you want it to be.

The author arbitrarily picked a number, and made it his meaning. No matter how irrational or how insignificant it may seem to people it's his meaning, and no one can take that away from him. It seems like such common sense, but it's so easy to get lost in the shuffle of life and not really think about it. The meaning is yours to choose, and if you choose nothing, voila! Your life means nothing. To me the point was that the meaning of life is not just some incredible philosophy or a way to tell you how to live. It is not just the explanation of why we are here and what we are here to do. But then again, maybe that's what it is to you. It's what you desire, feel, think, and emote. The meaning of life is what you want it to be.

What is your meaning to your life? Is it to be happy? How? By doing the things you love? Or by sacrificing the things you love for the people you love? What do the people around you mean? What about those that may influence, or be influenced by you? Maybe you want to be successful. Desire to lead in athletics, arts, business, or science? Or understand all? What do you want? No one can decide for you. Think! The meaning of life is what you want it to be.

...What the hell am I writing?

This poor attempt to be deep is just from remembering the statement: The meaning of life is 47. Huh?? So I looked it up. That must have been in the summer. I needed this as a way to put things into perspective, as sometimes things look pointless, or simply meaningless. If life has no meaning, why bother? That's because you gave it no meaning.

What's my meaning of life then? At this point, to be a better person for each day that passes and to see those around me prosper.

Anyone wanna start a study group?

Howdy y'all!! I've been busy studying for an Economics midterm which I think I'm going to get around 84-86%. Somewhere around that region, which isn't too shabby. Right now though, I'm really excited for the Heritage Classic game!! First the Alumni game between past Edmonton Oiler stars and Montreal Canadian stars! Then the actual NHL game. Man it's been incredible to live in Edmonton for the past while. First the Grey Cup win, now this!!

I got a chance to visit city hall and check out what was happening. It was pretty cool, they had the Stanley Cup as well as all the other trophies out. Tomorrow is kinda like Christmas, can't wait for gametime...

Can't think of anything else at the moment, I'm just thinkin about the game!! Go Oilers!

I don't learn sometimes. Did my Bio lab report at the last minute. Again. (=

At least mine is on time though...

Soooo anyone know any cool songs?? Either just cool in general, has meaning to you, or just gets your blood pumping? If so, tell me in the tagboard!

November 18th, is the one month anniversary of having Sharkie in my home. He's provided us some entertainment, but the poor guy looks a little unhealthy. Nonetheless, everyday that he makes it is kinda like a blessing.

On a slightly more tremendously important thing to note is that day is also the anniversary of me and Delia being together for a year and a month! Yay! I don't really mention our relationship in here because it feels weird, but it is kind of funny to talk about stupid mundane shit and not mention her. Delia, you mean a lot to me, and it's simple but I want you to know it.

Wish I was lying on the couch holding Delia...

Well, it's only four days later so it's not like I've been ignoring this place. Everytime I think I have time to update here, it seems I go and do something just a little bit more useless. (= On a sidenote, man, Kevin's blog is super nuts. I mean it. It's not just ordinary, run of the mill nuts, it's super nuts...

Anyways, I'm kinda dissappointed that I didn't get a whole lot done over the long weekend. I still hafta finish my bio lab report and start studying for my second economics midterm, which would should be called a two-thirds term. It shall be a busy weekend, of course I'll start it all tomorrow ;)

By the way, last night I got to attend a Bryan Adams concert with my mom. She wanted to go for her birthday and it seemed no one else would go, which was suprising, so we went. It was a great concert with although it's not completely my type of music, the atmosphere was incredible and Adams put on a solid effort. He seemed genuinely in there for the music on this given night. It was mesmerising when he started "Everything I do", I think that although that was the most cheesy part of the night, it was probably the best.

Anyhoo, Sharkie is doing... well I have no friggin idea. My parents went out and got a type of fish food, a flake type of thing, and hopefully he'll start eating it. Interesting to note, my mom told me that my dad got excited and wanted to get a large fish tank and get "nice fish". Of course, that idea got nixed but it made me realize that my dad can really like to spend on us. Certain things will make him less rational than usual, but I think that's because he just wants to lavish us all time to time.

I think that's all for now, no real commentaries on what's happened to me. Oh yeah, before I forget, I had a lab that was scheduled today, Friday night, from 6 pm to 9 pm. I ended up leaving at 8, but that was so incredibly lame. Of course, we did spend a good portion discussing the Matrix. My T.A. is in love with those movies, so we got to talking about it (=

Moral of the day is: Robots and guns, what more could you possibly ask for?

Man, I have got to work on my coherence for some of my posts.

Oh yeah, just so everyone knows, I owe my cousin, Larry, a beating. In fact, if you know him, punch him, and tell him to straighten out and fly right in school. Pull yourself together and work at it, anything worth having is worth working for. Work at all the things your good at and bad at.

Man, I just got a link to one of the funniest sites ever. It's pretty much a blog in a sense, except it's just full of rants. It's hate taken to an extreme, and everyone hates, but it's pretty hard to do so like this guy and be so funny. Just don't goto the site if your stupid, and if your asking why, well, don't visit.

So howdy! Long weekend pretty much half over. Friday night was awesome, first spent some time with Delia. We ended up watching Unbreakable and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I really appreciate Unbreakable a lot more than the first time I saw it. It's such a different movie then I'm used to seeing. The whole comic book thing threw me off at first, but taking away my expectation of what that movie should have been made me enjoy it a lot. Delia is getting slightly better, but her illness really isn't going away )=

Later that night, I went over to Ryan's house and we had 8 man Halo!! Daim!! Let's see, I managed to, with Tony and Clarence win one 4 on 4 battle. Of course, we got raped on CTF. 4on4 was cool to an extent, but FFA was sooo awesome! I got 1st on the second FFA, but then again like 3 other ppl had only 1 kill less. Still, it was awesome and I just wonder how other games would play. Halo needs more guns, and good levels...

As for the whole doing schoolwork thing and trying to catch up. Well, I'm going to do work but my attitude, no matter how much I try to change it, is f*ck that! Of course, I'm going to get my ass kicked by Delia and parents, so maybe that's the wrong attitude.

Man, I need more interesting and funny comments about life! Ah well, in the meantime and between time, have yourself a good time, and of course, don't kill yourself.

It is Remembrance Day Weekend and I would like to take this time to think of the men and women who fought for a better future. All other thoughts put aside, it was their sacrifices that allow us to live our lifestyle in Canada the way we do. I'm not going to think about War, it's causes and effects and so on for this weekend. I'm going to think about War regarding those that must fight what we hope is the good fight.

Haven't really gotten around to this for a while but I'll just talk on what's recent. On Friday I got majorly sick! It was sick! I had this nasty fever which followed constant shivering. It was difficult to sleep until around 4'ish or so. Saturday was basically spent recuperating and at night studying for Psychology. I don't remember having headaches that bad. Anyways, Sunday was a study day, for around 8 or so hours, maybe less.

Monday, back to school... well my headache ceased by my cough is just brutal when it's cold. I just get these nasty fits time to time, and it would also give me a headache. I got through the day but couldn't wait for it to end.

Tuesday, event of the day, besides the Psych midterm that is, is that I got a nosebleed at the start of my Math 113 lab. I got it to stop and finished up but some blood got onto my shirt )=

Later that day I went to the doctor's because my parents wanted to make sure I didn't have anything serious. After I took off my jacket and sweater, Doc saw the bloodstain an asked, and got the answer. He told me basically, just stick some vaseline up my nose and it should help. Thanks Doc.

Anyhoo, that's all for now, peace out!

Price is a function of Demand. I think.

Hey hey! It's been a while since I've blogged! Actually, a week! Things have been alright. I think I only got mid 80's on my mid term, but I was aiming for higher than that. I'll have to go over the exam with someone later. Meanwhile, I got my English essay back. Only a B-. That is not what I'm used to getting, so I'll hafta improve on that and really work on the next one. But good news, I got an 82 on my Bio lab report! Much better than I thought, and I hope to really improve on that mark next time by starting on it much earlier and not at the last moment.

Still haven't got my math midterm yet, but that may come back tomorrow. I need to start studying for Psych as there seems to be yet another exam for it next Tuesday. Can't get complacent, hopeefully I'll be able to beat the other mark. Not much else happening in school, but... IT FRICKING SNOWED!! NOOOO!

Sharkie won't eat, and I'm tempted to buy some kind of other food but that may not be completely convinient. I should probably look up on how to take care of the guy. Not only that, but actually act on it.

Finally saw Hulk, and I gotta say, what the fudge is with the ending?? It seemed unnecessary and retarded. Oh well, but I may get to see Kill Bill this upcoming weekend (=

Shoulder bags really suck, why do I still have one?

I hate my Econ teacher. Unfortunately, when I look at the decision of whether to punch her in the face or not, the marginal cost exceeds the marginal benefit. Well I would never resort to something like that, but she's pretty frustrating.

Not much to say for now, so peace out!

Hello, well today was a pretty normal day. Psychology was interesting, but for some reason there was no notes to print off. Econ was the same, intense boring crap again. I hate my Prof for that class. She won't let you think, she talks and blabs non stop. I don't know how she can keep talking, she's like that Transformer that won't shut up and talks really fast. To top it all off, she makes it seem like you should know what your doing even if you've just seen the material for the first term. Ass! On the other hand, she seems to know her stuff. But again, she stutters and is really annoying.

Got some mad studying for Bio, and I really hope I'm ready for this mid term. It all comes down to tomorrow. This will gauge whether or not I have the ability to study the proper material. Also, I get my english essay back. It is total doomsday for that. I must make it up for my next essay and start on it waay before it's due. But back to studying for Bio, I really need to get more friends that are keeners. When I seem like the keener in the group, something is terribly wrong...

Never do things at the last minute.

Always try to write neatly in Math, otherwise you'll get stupid remarks saying "please do good work!"... what an ass of a marker, seriously...

Chinese buffet food (shoulda listened to Tony) despite the appearance of the fried chicken, sucks... times 6

Oilers need a top 10 Goalie... as of yesterday

Phosphofructo-kinase adds a phosphate group onto Fructose 6-phosphate. Phosphofructo-kinase is also an allosteric enzyme. Why the phosphofrucking KrAzY is that important?

Salutations! Well today I got some studying done. I really hope I'm on the right track, but I have no way of telling really. I'm sorta confident for my Biology midterm but well, you can never really know how prepared you are. Math I am not so worried, but I will definitely review when I get the chance. My homework keeps getting docked because I seem to have a pissy marker....

I sure hope Sharkie lives.

Some people are just unable to concentrate for a long time.

People don't like getting paid back in dimes and nickels... hehehe.

Pringles is good.

I should have done the Math prelab Questions. Oh well.

What the KrAzY is a mesosome?!!??!?!?!

Hey all!! Today was a good day. If anyone wants to know, today is the day of me and Delia being together for a year! YAY! Of course, the day didn't start out as that great. We didn't really have any solid plans and that long trip going to WEM wasn't too fun. But once there, Things improved and we enjoyed ourselves.

I'm not really going to say much other then.. we got a fish!! I got to name it Sharkie. It's one of those fishes that is easy to maintain and doesn't need much. So Sharkie should stay alive for hopefully a long while. Hehe, he's pretty cool. Also, played the funnest game of Monopoly. (=

Err... yeah I need to go and study now, but I just wanted to get this down. Peace out!

It's the weekend! What are you doing here? Go out and do something!

Yay finally got to goto Karate after a bit of a layoff. Unfortunately I have midterms next week so that's going to take up some time. Bio 107 midterm is on Wednesday, and I'm thinking of doing the most recent units to the beginning, then going back. I think I'll try to finish those quizzes in the textbook, redo those worksheet questions, then I'll load up the CD and see if it helps.

Meanwhile, Math I expect to good in. A little bit of review and I should be good. English... ahh yes my ignored class. I must give a renewed effort and step it up. I want a good mark but I'm definitely not putting in the work. I haven't read a short story for that class for a while. Piece of crap Conrad...

I'm not expecting ppl to read my blogs, but if they do, prepare to be bored. This is a pretty good way to get some thoughts out. I don't really have a whole lotta negative things to say so I won't have too many rants... o well....

Anyhoo, off to read Conrad's short story, The Secret Sharer...

hi

Wow the past week and weekend have been a little nuts. My first midterms were easy, but luckily they happened to be easy. I did put in quite a bit of studying so those marks are deserved (= However, my English got left to the side. I must note to myself to start essay work earlier. Remembering where quotes are and all that is really vital. It's unfortunate I had to stay up late just to finish my essay. Same for my lab report!! It was due on Tuesday but I didn't really start it early, and I paid for that. Ended up staying until about 2:30 Tuesday morning when it it due. Good thing that my lab was scheduled at 6, so I had ample time to finish it in a computer lab. Again, I just hope my lesson has been learned.
