Yummy.

Whoever can guess where the line from the title came from... is a sappy geek like myself, I suppose.
Anyway, today is Valentine's Day. I was listening to the radio today, on my day taken off of work, and I heard that a study showed that this very day is the cause of more domestic issues than any other day of the year. Instead of going to work, I went to the grocery store and purchased some items: veggies, tofu, noodles, sushi, a baguette, hummis, and flowers. I suprised Sarah at the school with the flowers just as her students were leaving class... we sat together and ate the baguette and hummis, than I came home and prepared dinner for tonight, and played some guitar. I'll probably be picking her up in about... an hour, then we'll have soup and sushi, and tea, by candle light, and then we'll...
Use your imagination.
I hope you're all having a great day, with or without a valentine.

Christmas time is fast approaching and I still have many gifts to purchase for family and friends. I never really know what to get people at this time of the year... I mean, I do know what some people would like, but accquiring such things would require spending more money than I am finiancially capable of doing. I've already gone out and bought a gift for my brother, something I know he'll like, and use, and I plan on going out sometime today (should have already been out) to get him a really nice pencil crayon set, because the one he has been using for the last few months is running down to the nubs on quite a few colours. Aside from that, I'm thinking I can't go wrong with buying people LCBO gift cards, or something along the lines of supporting their other vices... drugs and alcohol, can't go wrong with that can you? (Don't answer that question)
I know what I could use this year... some fabric paints, so that I can make some t-shirts, a DV cam, which I wouldn't expect anyone to buy for me because I'm going to go and pretty much buy that for myself later on this month, or maybe some time in January. Lets see, maybe a nice pair of pajamas, or a bath robe would be cool as well... that's about all people can really get me. I'm sure I'd be able to think of more if I had more time... more time would be a nice gift, but that isn't something anyone can get me... I'm busy these days, too busy to get online with MSN, too busy to really respond to emails, too busy to really, think.
What is it that people want for Christmas this year, what did you out there in live journal land ask for?
Hope you're all doing well, peace. <3

| Copper or Cowboy? |
[30 Nov 2005|08:24pm] |
Hello, people in live journal land.
Life is an orgasm, sometimes its pretty hard to achieve good times, but when they come, they're pretty damn good. Moving on, I want to do something fun and different for my girlfriend, so I was thinking of taking a survey...
Should I dress as a cop for her, or a cowboy?
Any other suggestions? (note: I'm not wearing skimpy lingere, its not right)
Lost is almost on, I have to go, ciao for now... hope all is well for you out there.
Peace. <3

| Devil's Night |
[30 Oct 2005|10:23am] |
Today, the day before Halloween, tonight, Devil's Night... I don't know what I will be doing tonight, and have vaguely sketched plans for the remainder of the day. I do believe I will get some laundry done shortly after taking a shower, with Sarah, and then we'll either go downtown for a walk at High Park, spend time in Kensington Market, or go grocery shopping somewhere... maybe two of the three, maybe all three, who knows, I don't, you don't, but we'll find out... there is also a possibility of pumpkin carving, for which we have four pumpkins to experiment with, because Paul and George, possibly even Mark and Gene may be interested in joining.
I have finished my costume, minus the wings, but for now the costume is just fine as it is as a werewolf... pictures, to come soon...
What are you doing tonight?
<3

| Halloween |
[01 Oct 2005|10:29am] |
It is the beginning of the month, Halloween is right around the corner, apparently... I've gotten up from my chair a few times to look out in the hallway but I haven't seen it. Anyway, I've decided that I will start working on my costume now, which I should have already been doing a while ago due to the difficulity level of said costume project, being a vampire-werewolf. So yeah, big werewolf feet, claws, a tail, and some wings... black fur... should be a fun challenge.
I'll post pictures of it of course, eventually.
Going to get materials for it now, then later today check out the movie Serenity, then later tonight travel to Barrie to hang out with my friend Michele and watch her boyfriend's band play a gig, and then chill with some people afterwards and then drive back to Toronto, cause I have things to do tomorrow...
Ummm, I just farted.
I have to go pay my landlord, can't forget that. Though I could.
Peace.

I'm not on my computer right now... I'm on Sarah's computer. Who is Sarah? Well, that is for me to know and for you to not know, unless of course you choose to ask me, in which case I would tell you. I am not so much a secretive person as much as I am a person who chooses not to talk about what I'm thinking or feeling unless it is for a specific purpose. A specific purpose would be answering a question, amongst others things I suppose. What you may ask is my purpose for writing right now? Well... I am somewhat drunk and sitting here in Sarah's room while she is cleaning up a bit, and I was thinking "you know what, I haven't written in my live journal for a while." so here I am now writing in live journal.
I don't use my computer much anymore nor really check this site and see how people that I know or knew online are doing. Why? Am I an asshole? This is a possiblity, though the greater truth beyond the capibility of me being an asshole is, that I am leading a life that keeps me quite occupied. I life in a house with four other people. The first of these people is by far the most important to me, because he is my brother Mark... though older than myself, he is the person that I watch out for the most, because he is truely a child at heart and more often than not, in mind. The second person moved in shortly after my cousin Angela moved out, and that would be a good friend of Mark and I, Paul. The three of us have lived together for a while, spending nights getting drunks and indulging in mind altering drugs, watching movies and playing video games. Just recently two new people have joined the household... first was Sarah, who I am currently seeing, and have known for over a year, and last is a Mexian guy who I work with, George. Not really much info about any of these people I know, but if you wanted to know, you would ask, and not be forced to read anymore about them then you really wanted to know.
Ummm... okay I'm rambling, and about to leave because Sarah and I are about to play some cards just to chill. So yeah, life is good, I started a business with my brother and am working full time in the mean time until getting another job which will allow me to put more time towards my own business... yadda yadda yadda, stuff I will mention later, peace and God bless.

| The Girl in the Red Dress... |
[29 Apr 2005|11:02pm] |
I was surfing... www.freakydreams.com
Your Dream: Running, leaping from roof top to roof top with ease, dense slow falling snow, then silence and comfort in a familiar room, and a girl in a red dress outside the door, that is slowly opening, where I stand inside, infront of her, to willingly be consumed.
Words like running: No restraint. Freedom. Distance. There is something that you want to escape from.
Words like roof: Protection. Covering. Ready to break free and expand your limitations.
Words like falling: Loss of honor. Fear of failure. Loss of power and feeling out of control.
Words like snow: Purity. Clarity. You want a fresh start.
Words like room: Central part of a house. Regarding something important within yourself.
Words like girl: Learning to be receptive. Happiness and tranquility.
Words like red: This is an indication of great passion and sensitivity in your emotional relationships.
Words like door: Access. Ready to enter or something to keep private. Happiness and long life.

| Cut me, I bleed... |
[23 Mar 2005|10:51pm] |
So I get home from work and immediately make two sandwiches with whatever I can pull out of the fridge; whole grain bread, chicken-bologne, processed slices of cheese (white and orange - variety is the cheap spice of life), chili sauce, cajun powder, bbq sauce, and honey mustard... because I wanted my sandwiches spicy and dripping. I managed to eat 3/4ths of my quick-draw meal in which four oatmeal cookies and two glasses of tomato juice were also added, before finally popping in the movie Rushmore, for reasons that I had to wait for my brother to take a much needed crap, as his health hasn't been so great the last two days due to a possible stomach bug picked up while eating at a chinese buffet the evening before last.
Fast forward.
I throughly enjoyed the movie and went straight to talking on MSN because I obviously don't have a truly exciting social life outside of work, aside from those few and very much enjoyed moments where I get to see close friends on the odd days I have off. After quickly getting bored with that, I decided I would put to rest my skilled talent of procrastination and actually write something, which I was thinking maybe would be lyrics for one of the few songs I'm trying to write at the moment. This, wasn't so successful, so I decided to do what all great writers do and isolate myself for inspiration, while on the toilet. Some ideas came to mind, but nothing really worth holding on to, so I dropped them like fecal matter and wiped whatever was clinging clean away.
Fresh and barely a pound lighter, I decided to do the dishes while thinking some more... then BANG, it happened... my favorite cup nearly shattered in my hand, and I gouged my knuckle on the edge of the broken glass, thinking to myself, "crap, I really liked that glass"... after a few seconds, blood started pouring out, and I mean, it was pouring out... lots of blood, so I fumbled about for a while soaking it up with tissue and trying to find alcohol and gause to create a make-shift band-aid, because I don't seem to have any of those, which even if I did, wouldn't have been sufficient enough in this bloody situation.
Fast forward, I one-handedly finished the dishes and went to my room, where I sat down and proceeded to write a poem which I had floating around in my mind briefly since about two weeks ago... what I had to go with, was "the earth is a canvas"... what I came up with, and wanted to share, along with the story leading up to, is...
---we're so beautiful---
The earth is an artist's canvas, with limits unexplored,
boundaries broke and made, with lines that bleed,
while reason sleeps, ignored.
Creation becomes a living image, with a life all of it's own,
it's eyes wide with full intention, to question it's conception,
of those who see and seek answers unknown.
Stark white, a stroke of hand and grains of time brush by,
layers form in marvelous splendor, energy and matter collide.
Then as if made in haste affair, this beauty lays in wait,
it ages, crumbles, cracks, painfully falling apart,
it is ignorance we create.

My current thoughts and feelings about life as of Februrary 25th, 2005, scattered.
26th birthday coming up, March 19th, Pisces.
Hockey, cancelled... not that I watched or cared. I say the government should control the sport, make playing hockey a gov. job, with benefits, the proceeds going towards improving the quality of life in Canada, more trees, homes for the homeless, free childcare for the hardworking families, better health and food programs in schools. Down with fast food companies that create low paying jobs, make money for the corporate owners, who take business away from respectful mom'n'pop restaurants where servers make good wages and tips.
Communism, a good idea. I should be incharge.
Having my own place, pretty cool, working to live, living to find my way through this mess of a game called life, life is beautiful, at the end of the game you win a tank.
Dying, one day I am going to. So are you. Are you ready?
Movies, I watch too many.
Music, I don't listen to or play enough.
Writing, I've been neglecting it.
Cooking, usually results in eating, which I enjoy, though I haven't cooked enough lately.
Kissing, I'm a pro.
Sex, tried it, liked it, haven't done it for a while.
Love, its a chemical imbalance of the brain... lets all be chemically imbalanced.
God, the man with the master plan.
War, its about to happen.
Hell, we're living in it.
Peace, wait for it.
Work, its okay for now.
Play, I always find the time for that.
Friends, I'm fortunate to have many.
My brother just got home, I just said hello to him.
My dad had just called, he's coming over in a while.
I need to take a shower cause Miranda is coming over in a bit, woot... hey Miranda, you got a shout out in my LJ. :) Time for me to split, peace everyone.

| Time Travel |
[20 Jan 2005|01:58am] |
I've been wasting time in my room tonight, barely editing scripts, distracted by the phone and the television. Donnie Darko came on, and although I've seen it many times, it captured me... Watching it made me think of many things, one of which would be time travel.
Some of the requirements - to my knowledge - for travelling through time, would be access to a vessel capible of travelling faster than the speed of light, and knowing the location of (or how to create) a tear in the fabric of space, like a wormhole, blackhole, gateway, etc. Okay... so fuck the futuristic spaceships, or time travel machines... the way I see it, every human being is a vessel, using somewhere around 5% of our brains, which are capible of storing/recalling/processing/creating hordes of information far beyond our will and comprehension... Is that not faster than the speed of light? I think if someone's heart rate could handle the pressures of the thoughts required to achieve this, it could be done.
Ramble ramble.
If anyone has a time machine, they would be of great use to me right now... I have some things I need to do. If anyone knows how I can erase a span of my memmory, that would be quite handy too... I have some experiements I'd like to try.

Sometimes I wonder.
Then I want to go into a mad flaming rage and rip a hole through the center of the earth and watch it bleed itself completely dry of YOU.
Then I wonder... who are you?
I don't even know you...
I rarely answer my phone, when I do it's usually my mom... I'm going to go see her on Christmas, because that's what loving children do on Christmas, and on a regular basis during the year, see their mom, and their dad, unless they're dead... in which case they can just go to the cemetary and see their headstones, unless of course their bodies were cremated and ashes spread somewhere, or kept in an urn, or maybe their bodies weren't found at all because I ate them... I like cooking. I'm going to see both of my parents this year for Christmas, and we're going to have a lot of good food.
I've been watching movies a lot lately.
I usually watch movies a lot anyway, one is on TV right now... I have a TV in my room now, I never had a TV in my room before, I like my new room.
Hello room.
Hello walls.
Hello Charlie.
Hello bed.
Hello tables, couches, guitar, and computer...
Hello locker... I put things in you and close you up, much like I do with everything inside my brain.
I have pictures on my walls.
In the world today, it's all about taking care of yourself, invest, insurance, reassurance... death and taxes, be sure of it.
Convience breeds weakness.
Conform to humanity.
Say something stupid as often as possible.
I like to dream.
I often dream about zombies killing hordes of people, being one of the last survivors.
I often dream about killing hordes of zombies and sleeping with beautiful women.
I often dream about hordes of beautiful women... no, I don't.
I dream in colour.
I wake up tired.
I sleep awake.
...
Leave a message.

I got attacked by a parrot today... Kiwi, usually somewhat friendly, decided to swoop down and latch onto my face earlier in the day, taking aim at my eye, luckily missing... he drew some blood, and left a mark just beside my left eye, the little fucker.
I can hear him chirping upstairs... he wants company, meh... he doesn't treat his company very well.
Watch the skies people, birds are out to get you.

| Alive! |
[11 Nov 2004|07:43pm] |
I'm now living in Toronto, with my brother Mark, and our cousin Angela. I've finally got the net hooked back up, and I have a phone, and I have my own kitchen, and a nice room that doubles as a movie/lounge room, with a couple couches, table, and a tv...
Things are starting off slowly... I could go on for quite a while in here about all the things that have happened since I last updated, since I started work, since I moved in here... but that's not important, it's just stuff... not that I don't find "stuff" interesting when I read it, or that I don't think people would find my stuff worth reading... I'd just like to keep this short and sweet... not that it's all that short, or sweet, seeing as how I'm just rambling... but, those of you who have came to know me would know, that I ramble from time to time.
There was something that I read on the wall at work in the lunch room that I think everyone would appreciate... "Never look down on anyone, unless you're helping them up." - Jesse James. I like that, and I think life would be a whole lot better for everyone, if people took that to heart.
Hmmm... I miss a lot of people who I used to talk to quite often... I'm back now, just hope everyone is alive and well, or atleast alive, and getting better. Mel, if you read this... gimmie a call foo! (416)635-6270
Peace and God bless...

| Just to let you know... |
[09 Oct 2004|05:45pm] |
Hello, me here, you know, Mike, to let you know that the moving date is quickly drawing closer, and things are looking very promising. Just today, while appartment hunting with my cousin, we found a place, really nice, three floors, three bathrooms, two kitchens, lots of parking space, close to city transit (subway/bus/street car), close to main highways, close to main shopping centers... $1,500 a month plus utilities... so the living situation is now taken care of, and we were lucky to find the place... owned by a nice little Italian lady, who loved my cousin Angela and I. More good news, would be that before I left Toronto I stopped by a Lenscrafters at the mall and met with the lab manager, who already seems to be considering me for a position as assistant lab manager, which will mean I also have the job situation taken care of too. Now we just have to get our business moving along. :D
Okies... computer will be torn down within the next few days, I won't be online until some time in November. I wish you all a happy thanksgiving (for the Amercian's reading this, yes, our thanksgiving weekend is this weekend), and the best of luck with everything you've all got going on right now too. Peace and God bless.

So, yeah... I know I don't really post in here that often anymore, but I'm going to be gone again for a while, maybe a month or so without internet, trying to get situated somewhere in Toronto.
I'll return, eventually...

| I'mmmmm baaaaaaack! |
[20 Sep 2004|06:35pm] |
Okay, I have fixed my computer and am back in action. I'm going to be in transition soon though, moving to Toronto! I'm going to be busy while there, with work, and with the cartoon project, but I'll try to update when I can.
If anyone knows any bands in the Toronto area who are looking to make a little more money then they currently are, if they're making any money for that matter, let me know, get me in contact with them... why? The job I'm going to in Toronto is going to be putting me in a position where I will be managing/promoting bands... I'm just looking for a few more clients now.
Peace <3
