You're about half a size too small for me...

All really good pieces, and prices, bump for you!

I stumbled upon this sitting on my hard drive. I first heard it when I was 12 or something on a late-night radio station. Kinda preachy, but I still like the message:

lNVCwdkEYH8

(and yeah, dude looks like an ass)

koopa-ninja?

I have a few friends who work at various places along queen west that had to be evacuated. Who covers all the damage that's taken place?

It's surreal to see pictures like this, I've seen countless riot shots over the years, but seeing them in areas I've been on a regular basis makes me real uncomfortable. I'm glad I stayed out of town this week.

Bright Shiny Morning

Meh. I picked it up when it came out not knowing about his whole bullshit "autobiography" story. His style grates on me, but it looks like he's set in his ways. Honestly I barely remember any of the details any more.

I couldn't say no. Plus, it seems they're phasing out the hard cover, got the last one in town.

FREE HAT.

You are the second person I've heard from who said it woke them up. It was 1:44PM on a Wednesday, wtf.

These seersucker shorts are possibly the best purchase I've made all summer. So comfy.

I tend to base female friendships on attraction whether it be physical or personality. I've realized that i don't think I can have a true/best friend thats a female because it eventually progresses into something more. Either I initiate or she does. Definitely something I need to work on.

For a large portion of my life, and for the majority of girls I know, I'm the same way. That said, I do have a handful of really good female friends where there isn't the attraction. It's hard to separate them though; we're just wired that way I guess.

Now the question is how to begin to get over it?

The easiest way is to stop thinking about how to get over it. You'll think about it less and less each day, until you really have to struggle to imagine being as hung up on it as you've been. Then you'll wish you could travel back and tell freshly-single you to stop giving a fuck and go live life.

It sucks at first, but the feeling will pass.

I'm keen on this girl but she sends some seriously mixed signals, like, "come watch my game and grab some food after" and then the next two weeks isn't up for anything, till she randomly cheerily talks to me again. I dunno if it's her inexperience, 1 boyfriend(2 years just broke up), was ugly in highschool and now is hot, a bit religious. I think it's way early to do the "i like you" thing, is there any better ways to get a definate answer or should i just give it time.

it's not too early to do the "i like you" thing; you never do that thing, or at least not in the literal, telling her that part.

went for a haircut yesterday and the girl who was doing it kept farting. silent ones, but there was a smell, and there was nobody even remotely nearby. few times have I put more thought into exactly what expression is on my face.

so many good things... ugh. those aviators need to be my size!

+bump for you

^ It's interesting, I say why not, so long as you don't mind being called Edward Cullen all the time

I have had short hair since the second grade, and I'm itching for a change! That is my reasoning. I didn't realize it was so well liked, ha ha.

Aw shit, really? I wouldn't have thought about that connection. I guess the good thing is, if I don't like it, I can always just revert to boring jugend-style.

As for the short, it worked on you, so like you said, you always have it to fall back on if you get tired of growing it out. That said, can't blame you for wanting a change after all the years.

found pictures online from one of man about town's articles; my hairline (and ears) are near-identical to this, so i'm wondering if i should attempt it.

i guess i'd better get a current picture... hair has just grown out in two months, so i have the length.

hey, dude who left his yahoo account and plentyoffish account open on a public computer: since you mentioned loving horses and gave a job description of "horseman", enjoy your new profile.

"interests: horseporn, casual abduction, internet!"

from what i've read on the subject of this oil spill the largest amount of oil is actually below the watersurface, good luck getting that part of the problem.

also there are some companies in belgium who are specialized in oil removal from such spills and their offered help has been denied. this whole situation is so fucked up it's truly amazing

hmm... if that miracle product floats indefinitely, just release it underneath the oil? i dunno, it really is depressing how little is being done.

ahhhhh bad decisions...

^ same.

mortal kombat trailer looks promising, although wtf to everybody being human? i blame batman and the obsession with "realistic". i want other-realmed freaks!

random thought: if souls do exist, how many do people with multiple personalities have?

Eh, you're both right. It started years ago with the idea that kids should be given an "a for effort" and be praised on the basis of "being unique" instead of their actual achievements. I actually read a few really good articles on it last month and can't seem to find them anymore. Anyways, it's lead to a lot of kids thinking they deserve whatever it is they want, and each generation has become progressively worse behaved. I see far too many kids in this city who have the concept of manipulation down pat by the time they enter school. They want whatever, they know how to work their parents to get it. The fear of being labeled a "bad parent" has a lot of younger people thinking it's more important to bend to every whim of their kids' desires, instead of disciplining. Obviously I'm simplifying, but there's truth to it. Hell, Hocus, you lived in Hamilton... you know of what I speak, heh.

I heard that these days, phys ed is optional for grade school kids. If they don't want to do it, all they have to do is complain to their parents, get them to write a letter, and they don't have to do it. I cannot believe that's acceptable, and that people don't seem to have a problem with the raising percentage of overweight people in the country. If you're a parent, stop blaming everybody else and take responsibility.

People are lazy and gullible. If they hear McD's has a "healthy" option, or even if its advertised with light, airy wording, they'll think it's enough. They don't want to put the effort in, for whatever reason. I've got a fast metabolism too, but I know it won't last forever and I've learned over the years that thin =/= healthy. Which took a long time, since my mom raised me under the idea that wasn't the case, and somehow, after over a decade as a nurse, she still thinks it's true. She's referred to Scarlett Johansson as "bigger".

I try to give overweight people the benefit of the doubt, because I understand that there are cases where it is (at least partially) out of their control. But in the case of that old coworker I mentioned, she came into it completely on her own. If you're showing up with leftover KFC, or eating two pieces of cake that were brought in for someone else's birthday, I'm not going to feel sorry for you.

All that said, I don't think I know a single girl who doesn't think about the relationship between what she eats and her body.

I can say with certainty that that weekend won't work for me, and at least three other members, haha

i worked a pretty labour-intensive few summers at a steel mill a few years ago (stupidly good pay for a student). there was a girl there who was literally obese, but as she was a higher-ups little girl, she got away with doing a lot less. we got to drive those giant dump trucks, and only one of them had a little rope ladder hanging off the bumper to connect to the rest of the ladder leading up to the cabin. if she were driving that day, she would demand that truck because she literally could not pull herself up on the others. there were similarly obese dudes in their 50's who could do it, but whatever. anyways, one day the guys left her the one she couldn't get into, and she demanded i head out there with her, with a chair from our break room, to help her get in, and then drag the chair back. one of the guys saw her, made a comment that she was unhealthy and maybe should lose some weight, and almost lost his job when she complained to a boss because of "harassment".

it wouldn't bother me as much if it weren't for the fact she'd take part in all the usual jabs we all had with each other. if you can't handle the truth, don't make comments to the dudes you're working with about how unhealthy they are. luckily she isn't the norm and most people don't fall into the double-standard that i think syed is getting at.

although it is an interesting point that there's so much anger directed at the modeling/acting world and the thin people in it, and while we get constant depressing figures about how overweight north america is, there's never any of the anger associated with that. eating disorders are problems on both extremes, one (literally) weighs more on our country than the other, though.

Is this interest in doing a new meet-up? Or does that kind of thing only work in 2007?

i'm pretty sure i said it last time it was suggested, but... it's never a real meetup until a dude has a bird shit on him.

I made a new blog post today about my jacket and went through a shitload of effort to figure out how to make a new blog title, fucking hell.

i need to take a look when i get home. is it true about song titles and suing and shit? i don't wanna have to change my blog

I was looking at this today, almost bought the compendium book (collects 48 issues) but I picked up the deluxe hardcover of Criminal instead. Going to have to pick it up when i get paid though.

In other news, breaking bad is so damn good. The only show that I watch when it's aired or close to it. Also, those who haven't watched Spartacus, do it.

i've heard a few people talk both of them up, and other than batman the animated series (fuck yes), i've got nothing to watch lately. i think i'll start breaking bad.

this week has started out awesome, despite no days off. grabbed tickets to two good shows next month, two days in a row. yesssssssss
