This has been a week for some heavy news with tsunamis and an earthquake killing tens of thousands of people, and NASA releasing information of an asteroid that has a chance of colliding with earth in 2029.

First of all, my thoughts are with everyone affected by the Indian Ocean earthquake...such a terrible tragedy. Reading everything that the BBC is pumping is quite depressing, and, yeah...I'm so sorry to hear all of that.


Second: why the hell would NASA spread this kind of infection? This story went from "there's a chance" to "it's more likely to hit than not" to "not at all". Of course they're going to end this story with "there's no chance that this asteroid will collide with earth" when the asteroid is not even due to arrive for another 25 years. Bah, I say. I couldn't imagine the mass media getting a hold of this story...my god I don't think I could handle 25 years of CNN's "Asteroids: The New Terrorists" and etc.

On a happier note, Good Bye, Lenin is fantastic. The writing, the directing, the acting--everything worked brilliantly. (David Bruhn is hella hott as well).

On Boxing Day I was able to see almost all of my friends for my friend's birthday. Found out someone I know is now serving 25 years for drug charges--apparently being caught with 2 blocks of coke, over a hundred pills of ecstasy, kilos of weed and all sorts of illegal guns is frowned upon. As the story goes he tried to pin it on his 16 year-old brother; the brother would only get a maximum of 2-years and a clean slate come his 18th birthday. Ah, the people I knew.

(Where else can I take this entry to add to the degree of disjointedness of it all?)

I like this "doing nothing" bit; I've grown quite accustom to it and I fear how I will have to adjust when I go back to school. Ah, okay, I'm done.

Welcome to Dial-a-View

Christmas was interesting, to say the least. My brother has no control over his drinking, and, because of this, became the drunk at the family shindigs. Yes, ‘shindigs’ is plural because it happened more than once. It's embarrassing, really. I mean, last night we were all telling him to be careful about his choice drinking because of my father being the alcoholic that he was. But, as always, he shrugged it all off. My mom wants him to phone my aunts house to apologise for acting like an ass.

My brother's obnoxious behaviour aside, it hasn't been that bad. My cousin broke out the sambuca and wanted us all to take small shots from it. Man, I don't remember sambuca tasting that good, but I digress. On Christmas Eve my uncle could not stop staring at me, and it was making me extremely uncomfortable. My mom said it's probably because he doesn't understand my faggy-status. This is what irks me: people don't accept homosexuality because they don't understand it. The gay community doesn't care if anyone understands it; the fact of the matter is they just want people to accept it. Society has been accepting things with out fully understanding it (read: religion, science) and yet people won't accept homosexuality because they don't understand. Bah, I say. I want to know who in their right mind decided that homosexuality was a bad thing. It's been around for ever, and yet someone took it upon themselves to preach that it's wrong. That person probably didn't comprehend it.

What else… I had a pseudo-nightmare that turned into a really hott sex dream. The nightmare portion consisted of me studying through my exam and me panicking. The sexy part was as follows: I was running to the exam and bumped into an old friend who was ridiculously sexy. (Think Patrick Fugit sexy...I'm not even exaggerating). Anyways, somehow the conversation of underwear came up, and he wanted to show me his...and to do this, he thought it'd be nice to take off his shirt. Yeah, needless to say sexiness ensued. *drools*

Scott was awesome to phone me yesterday to wish me a Merry Christmas--and then we ended up talking for just over an hour. Ah, I miss that boy so much.

I've also had some really heart-to-heart talks with my mom...I've always been able to get along with her, despite how she tends to drive me up the wall. Ah, I love her.

Now this is just becoming a disjointed entry, chalk full of rambling...so I shall bid you good day, and hope your holidays are going swimmingly.

Yup

I'm in such a weird mood right now...methinks I have a lot of pondering/thinking/drinking to do in the next couple of weeks. I just can't wait for exams to finish. I want some me time...lots of me time.

I don't know what else to say. I'm trying to keep this as cryptic and vague as possible. Yup...


I had something else I wanted to say--I just don't know how to say it. I want to write so much more than what I have right now. I keep typing sentences out, and then deleting them. Yeah--weird mood.

Random news: I'm dropping acid next term. I've done enough research on it and I think I'm ready--especially since I'll be with people I really trust. Acid has been on my "drugs to experiment with" list for quite sometime--and I think it's finally time to put a check-mark beside it ever so slightly. Another drug I want to try is mescaline. The drugs I'm stearing clear of are the following:

Opium or any opium derivative (morphine, heroin, etc) for obvious reasons.

Ecstacy. Every time you use this drug it makes you stupider...though you don't notice it because it happens extremly subtly. Even the first time you try it, it changes you irreversibly--not something I want to put my mind through.

Coke. I've been hesitant over this one for quite some time. A part of me wants to, and a part of me doesn't. I truly respect the power this drug holds, and I do not care to mess with it.

Other ones that I don't even think about expermenting with include (but not limited to) GHB, PCP, DMX, ice, crack and etc.

Yeah, you get the picture.

ALSO

This creationism bullshit is getting out of hand. I mean, I can't believe this is a big an issue as it is...

And, please, if you consider creationism a science, then go fuck yourself you.

Ah, there's just so much to be said about it! I don't know where to start! Why are people trying to debunk EVOLUTION with creationism? God damn Christians. If you believe it, fine--but don't go shoving it down everyone's throat (i.e trying to teach it in PUBLIC schools). Calling creationism "intelligent design" doesn't make it any more right to teach it in a PUBLIC school. How can you teach creationism? There's nothing really to teach.

I'm stopping now.

Out of Time

So, last night was highly enjoyable. A ham dinner with all the fixings was consumed. Sitting at the dinner table was Scott, Vanessa, Antonio, Teresa and myself. All of us seemingly had a good time. Short and concise sentences are lame.

But, yeah, I enjoyed the time spent with everyone, though I don't know how often it will happen. I mean, I'd love for it to happen more often, but I have a sinking feeling that it won't. If they do, however, huzzah!

Following last night Scott and I talked for hours--it was awesome. Though last night I realised I didn't even come close to finishing the 50K story on the deadline, which kind of put me in a bad mood. Funnily enough Scott has this way of making things better--and he did just that.

So...what did we learn? Fun times were had with Vanessa and co. and Scott rocks my world.

And this is why I've stopped updating.

I hate exams. And labs. And assignments. Sometimes I wonder what the fuck I'm doing here... I want to be learning about what Scott and I talked about last night, but sadly enough you have to start with the very boring basics. I just want to skip Canada and spends years travelling to the ends of the earth.

Oh, and kissing with your eyes open: hott at times. Never realised it--probably due to always being told it's rude and shit--but it is very intense.
