Well then, I see that i haven't posted since before my crazy college adventure started, and i don't think i need to apologize because nobody was really asking to hear about my life lol. anyway i thought its due time i write a bit so here we go. So, as i have already mentioned, i have started college since i wrote last, and lemme tell ya, 1st semester although it had a few incidents of stress, it was fairly easy, which is a good thing as it allowed me to ease myself into it. i finished of my first semester with a 3.87GPA which works out to a 89.86% average 0.o i know, honors, i'm surprised too, i didn't come close to achieving that kind of average throughout the rest of my school career. i guess it makes a difference in how much effort you put into it when you paying for your education. so ya school is going well, there a few quips i have that i may get into later. i'd rather talk about awesome things that have happened instead of ranting. i had a chance to take advantage of at least one perk of being at Conestoga in the first month i was here, i got to attend an Our Lady Peace concert, which was exclusive to Conestoga students. Leanne came along, which is nice, cause we don't do much outside of wandering a mall or movie theater, so suffice to say the experience was a awesome one. I've recently started to try and be more active on my devArt account, i have a premium membership which make it better in more ways then one. however I am currently trying to focus on school so my posts are infrequent if any. either way you can check it out caboontool.deviantart.com
anyway, i think i've exhausted myself of writing for now. gotta get to class. Catch Ya Later

heya everybody, i just came here to do something that i don't think i've ever done before... i'm going to post some writing, honest to god, poetry...
Now i bet you're wondering "Writing!? you have got to be fucking kidding me, you are no fucking writer!" and y'know what, you're probably right, but i was told this was something i have to do to lay my past to rest. now this all came to be last week, when, there was a night when i just DID NOT want to goto sleep, and i was cruising other LJ's and i came across one where someone gave an abridged autobiography, we're talking childhood to almost present day. and this got me thinking about my past, so i thought "why the fuck not write down all the specific memories i have?" so i did. The result? i spent 2 hours hand writing about 25 pages of significant things in my life. it started out fairly innocent with things i remembered as a child, but it eventually worked its way into some heavy, and rather dark topics from my life. sifice to say, it was a very... cathartic process. it got alot out of my mind and onto paper. ANYWAY, i showed all this to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92) drakmordis and there was one part in there that he told me "you have to write a poem about that" So i did, and after some tweaking i think i got somethign here. those of you who know about my life know exactly what this is refering to. So without furthur adeu: Montreal '04 in a montreal hotel.
you disappeared
the endless hallways gripped me
my mind raced, burning a warning for the path ahead
warning unheeded, the stairwell led our end
in a montreal hotel.
you kept me waiting
the silence stabbed my ears like blades
i tried to speak, nothing escaped but warm damp air
unsaid words trapped in the space between us
in a montreal hotel.
you lacerated my soul
the fluorescent bathroom light hummed in my eyes
clinging to my reflection, i felt the rising pain
beating heart crawled a slow cadence
in a montreal hotel.
you left me
rejected feelings cordoned behind locked doors
keys missing, i long for a purge
pain and falsehoods trapped forever
so, that's it, no need to worry friends, im SOOO over it, it happened 5 years ago, just seemed like a good thing to visit, to try and get it out of my head.
post your thoughts if you have any. Catch Ya Later

‘We’re owl exterminators!”
Heya everybody, its been quite awhile since the last update, so lets get to it.
since my let go from gRIM I've had lot of time on my hands…ALOT of time on my hands.
i have to say its been pretty nice having all this time off as I've been able to catch up with people that matter to me most, been spending a whole lotta time with Kyle, he’s my hetero life mate, we always seem to be on the same train of thought, we borrow each others brain power, as Danierre put it “you fill in eachothers knowledge holes” but ya been hangin with Kyle, helpin him along to get where he needs to be, cleanin out the apartment and such.
the not so extensive job search has led me to be come an independent contractor to “Springmasters Canada” well to put it easily, its a landscaping company, and its insane (“you’re not made of Tuesday!”) 13 hour days, but it pays insanely (“Stop lookin at me flyin avocado!”) well. my plans for the money ill be earning are to get a car as soon as possible, and then start stock pilling it for school.
Ah yes my plans for school, I've made the final decision that i will be going into the “industrial electrical technician” program, and hopefully after 2 years il be graduated and go straight to “Delta Elevator” to start a 4 year apprenticeship to become a certified elevator technician. it shouldn't be hard because all the current elevator technicians are getting up to retirement age and they are looking for young blood to take there place and not a whole lot of people think of elevator technician as a job so its not like its an overcrowded industry. i hear it pays extremely well too, something in the area of 60 to 90k a year. pretty bitchin.
so with this job ive decided to try and give up my vices jus like Kyle, i’ve quit smoking and drinkin, at least untill October, and even then ill try to keep it a social thing and not a habitual thing.
Anyway i dunno what else to talk about at this point. so im out.
Catch Ya Later

well isnt life fucking grand?
Just when you think everything is golden, some thing comes along and fucks you over....
well to put this bluntly, i was fired today... from RIM
got home, and received a phone call on my cell form a number that i didnt know, so i let it goto voice mail. i listened to it and it was Prior, asking me to call back ASAP. as soon as i realized it was prior i thought 2 things immediately A) i was fired, or B)i was being moved to a different shift. well needless to say option A) was the case. I was told that my postion had been terminated on the ground of the reason "that i was not focusing on the task at hand" Now let me tell you Reader, i am not one to slack off, i can tell you honestly that i worked my ass off everyday at that job. i was never late, and only missed 2 days due to illness. i have no idea who responcible or why my firing came to be, but all i can say is that i am uderly shocked and appauled. i spoke to a fellow co-worker on msn after the phone call and they too are shocked and confused. i dont know what else to say other then that my plans for the immidiate future are completely fucked, i had intended to purchase a vehical and i beleive that is highly unlikly now. i guess i should finish this off with a question to you Reader: Am i wrong to feel this is unfair? or am i not allowed to complain being that i am only a "temp"?

Whadda Whada Ding...HI! so yeah, work was like....work i guess... another slow day... oh and yet another former Eastwoodian is added to RIM's payroll, i ran into mr. Andrew Gilmore at work today. he's on the same shift as me in GRS, but i think he's nuts, he drives an hour and a half from Teasewater to get to work.... crazy bastard. but ya he gave me a ride home so that was cool. got home and called around for insurance quotes, tried state farm $310/month.... yeah no thanks.... called my parents insurance broker, $265/month, thats sound better. i probably wont get any better then that. so i called the car dealer, told him that im ready to roadtest that beast, he was reluctent at first as he has to put a fuel pump in with no garentee ill even buy it, but he was understanding and said he'll let me know when its ready. so now we play the waiting game... so assuming the price of the car is not taxes included, and ill also have to make a down payment for the insurance, ill be looking at about $2200 just to get a $1500 car on the road. fun eh? anyway, hopefully i can roadtest it on saturday, make a deal(assuming it runs good), buy insurance and hopefully *fingers crossed* be on the road by next wednesday. anyway, i have enough to say today.

wadda wadda bing!
sorry, im running on 5 hours of sleep, so bare with me here.
So i missed writing an entry last night, because i was doing something more important. hanging out with people that matter.
i must say i was quite spoiled yesterday, not only then Evan drive my ass to work, but sure enough as i walked outta work, i hear a HONK behind me, and sure enough it was that goofy fucker picking my ass up again, and oddly enough he had K-Lah with him...but whatever. after we dropped K-lah off at her car we went over to Kyles.
so we got to Kyles, and to my surprise it was a full house, finally got to meet Kyles "purebred" little brother. also got to meet Ms.Jamaican sweet heart. needless to say it was a pretty great night. we just sat there for 3 hours just shootin the shit, talkin bout life experiences and the good ol days of tech. kyles showed me his wall, i totally dig that idea. i also added to it. OMG kyle has the most awesome freakin cat in the world! he's a munchkin, so he has like stubby legs...ok so picture the anamotomical structure of a weiner dog...now picture it as a cat...thats what a munchkin looks like. anyway it was an awesome night, i really fuckin enjoy those times, it make me want to be living in a loft apartment with all these people. but alas, life will prevent me from doing that, school, leanne, responsibility. Kyle had asked last night if i would consider, hittin "wiggum" again... and ive been thinkin about it, and it made me realiaze, im not gonna have alot of time left to be doing these things much anymore, look i mean, it's not like im gonna give up my friends, but i know eventually im goin to have to grow up and try to keep from doing random fun things. cause ill have a woman to answer to for everything i do eventually. but ya, we def gotta do some more adventures before i settle down in life. im suppose to be going to take a look at the car today, but right now, jord isnt out of bed... should prolly get on that. also gotta work today, so im gonna get started on my day.

hello all,
after my previous entry i feel it worthless for me to write a new one cause i mean...what's gonna top it? anyway.
dragged my ass outta bed around 1pm today, checked teh interwebs. sighed at the realization that i had a 7 hour shift ahead of me. Went to work, and i got there only to realize i forgot my smokes... however Ev hit me with a txt offering me a ride to work i told him i had already gotten there but he might as while stop by and give me a cigarette. so he stopped by, we chatted a bit, i told him i woke up with a sore ankle for some reason...could have been all the walking.
so, i had some nicotine in my system, i went to work trying to fix what someone forgot to do on friday...well in actuality they didn't have time to put a corporate pack on the movie being it was delivered Friday at 5pm an hour and a half before start time. that was a breeze. i started movies, read some of this months Wired, txted Leanne who funny enough is Toronto for the weekend lol. Ev stopped by again to give me a coffee, bless his soul. i had a pizza sub for dinner, it was delicious, i wolfed it down fairly fast.
well i believe that's enough boring description of my day, now to answer some reader questions!
Drakmordis writes: " Tell us about the car you want! also, what is your stance on papayas?" Well sir, the car i am currently lookin at is a 1994 Buick Century Special , She ain't pretty but shes in great shape, shes got about
128 000clicks on her, and is goin for an asking price of $1695 (which im sure i can talk down to $1300, cause thats how i roll) She's got a respectable 2.2L V6 3-speed automatic with a total of 120hp and 140lb-ft of torque! (insert "home improvement" man grunt here) all told she a decent first car, now i know what your asking, "what the fuck does it look like? is it a hot car? what colour is it?" well clearly a photo will do better then me describing it... Don't Laugh....
Well there she is, yes i know it's a Granny-mobile! btu thats ok, im sure she'll be a great car...i think ill name her...Ingred? Ethel? Erla? who knows we'll see if i end up getting it in the coming weeks, i aiming for next weekend. oh ya papyas...ummm, well you see the thing with papyas is....ah fuck it they can stay. well Drakmordis i hope that answers your question! anyway im outta here for today, i work again tomorrow, so you can expect an equally boring entry tomorrow. Catch ya later.

I just want everyone to know that this is Fucked!
Alright readers, strap in cause this is defiantly gonna be a crazy one. (this includes Kyle who is sitting in front of me while I write this.)
1:40am- as I write this I am currently in a Ford Explorer (appropriately named Betty) with Evan, Kyle, and Brenden. I just got off an 8 hour shift, and they have decided that we are going to Toronto for no specific reason…. Needless to say this is going to be an interesting night. We are currently goin a buck twenty down the 401. Jamming to some tuneskees, and pumping ourselves full of caffeine. It’s funny this whole adventure reminds me of a line from Futurama: “ it’s Friday night, i got a 2 liter bottle of Shasta , and my all Rush mix-tape…lets rock!” except in this case it’s “It’s Friday night, I got a full tank of gas, and my broas… lets goto Toronto!”
2:03am- we have arrived on Younge st. I don’t recognize a fucking thing… Kyle Is taking in the sights of the housing around here. Here’s a sample of what’s being said:
“did that just fucking say breadbar!”-Kyle
“where the fuck can I pee?”- Evan
“I almost put a battery through that cabbies window” – Kyle
fuck this I wanna see this shit to…
3:48am- well, we found a parking garage to leave the truck. We decided we wanted to mission up Younge st. however when we got about 2 blocks from the parking garage we started to realize just how cold it was. Ev had to rock a piss so we stopped in at a Coffee Time. Kyle bought a coffee for himself and Ev, which oddly enough cost him nothing being the clerk gave him back more than he paid (bonus the trip was paying off already) We made the executive decision to head back to the truck to grab some warmer clothes, i.e. Ev grabbing his winter coat to add to his hoodie and me to add another hoodie and a scarf. So after that we hit the street, no seriously for reals this time. We missioned all the way down Younge st (from Bloor) all the way up to Victoria. We took in all the sights, from the epicly tall buildings, to the super bright advertisements (Dundas square). We also hiked through the Ryerson campus, discovering an ice rink, we were of course obligated to go slide on it, which we did, Evan fell on his ass, it was a riot. When we got Victoria we decided instead of walking back down the same street we came, we wanted to walk some back streets. And let me tell you I’m glad we did…
the best part of this trip was seeing some of the sketchy underbelly of Toronto, we walked mostly alleys and back streets on the way back to the truck. For me I’m in love with old run down architecture mos def wanna come back in the summer with my camera. As we were walking we happened to run into a woman who was sitting on some stairs, she was begging kyle to give her his lighter or matches and well clearly she was….y’know what I’ll let kyle tell that part of the story (see: drakmordis.livejournal.com)
it was a fairly sobering experience, well for me anyway.
so we got back to the truck, figured our way out of the parking garage, and started on our way home. On the way out we were tailed by a cruiser, clearly he was checkin the plates and he moved on, what was funny about this particular cop is he past us, tailed the cab in front of us, threw on his cherries, and get this, passed the cab and turned the cherries off! Lol he made the cabby shit his pants for no reason, god I love metro cops.
So now we’re headin westbound on the 401 on our way home. It’s a pretty quiet ride back, Brenden is nodding off, the tunes are low and im in the back illuminated by the glow of my laptop.
5:14am- I just got home, twas an epic night, but now its time for epic sleep.
Well, that’s it I guess, I hope to do it again some time. But now I must close this off. Thanks for reading! I look forward to the comments lol.
catch ya later.
