March 31, 2005

    Well the fury is over for now. I'm left to pick up the pieces of my shattered life. In this case the pieces are the used clothes that I had with me when I went home on the weekend. The fury, of course, was the 15 page paper that I started at noon yesterday. I was done writing by ten last night and that included 2 hours of eating and watching Foreman time. I think I did a fairly good job of it considering. I couldn't bring myself to start it sooner for whatever reason.

    On the other hand while I was talking to my old chum Mike Ward yesterday we were cut off by some kind of failure of our instant messenger service. I know this is totally off-base to suggest but what if the disturbance was caused by hackers. In high school I just happened to have done some research on hackers and know a bit about what their game is. I really never grasped the concept however of inconveniencing people for your own enjoyment. Who does that? And why? I know people like to "stick it to the man" and all that jazz but didn't that go out in like 1990. And when did I become "the man". It boggles my mind why someone would do things like that. I would suggest money but who is low enough to pay someone to do that? It hurts my brain to think about and I'm losing my steam about it.

    Moving on...I'm getting over my harsh cold and starting to feel better. As I mentioned above I'm getting my life back together. I bathed today, I shaved, I cleaned up my quarters. Things are definitely looking up. On that note I'll try some lunch. Back at ya.

    Back from home now. Caught a cold or SARS or something while I was at home. That trip reminded me how much I hate sleeping in that house. I don't know what it is but something just makes me uneasy when I'm there. I had a good rest though. When the sun rose so did I. Not intentionally of course but because there is no blinds or curtains on my windows even after all these years I get blinded into alertness by the sun. I spent the weekend looking after my dogs and trying to see people. Due to my lack of interest in bars and my sickness I didn't get to see everyone that I wanted too. Surprisingly an old friend stopped by this morning to see me off. That was nice. Well, I'm de-railed from my frequent posting and I have a buttload of work to do so don't expect much for the rest of this week. Hope y'all had a hoot of a time over the brief holiday. Cheerio.

    After that super short post of last time I have to admit that I have been frigging busy and tired these past few days. Our colossal win was late in the night and the adrenaline that was pumping kept me from my needed sleep. We, of course, had to be up early to receive the hydro guy that was coming to fix our hot water heater so it was along day which we supplemented by going to Oakville/Burlington. We ate supper at Ikea, probably the sweetest deals available on food. Look into it, its awesome. So after that we rushed back to Guelph to get ready for our team party celebration. That was good times. I'm getting off track here though. We actually finished 6th overall for hockey. We met the team that finished 9th in the finals. We won seven nothing. It was sweet. Most of the team is returning as well so we'll go for another one next year. I'm tired, going to sleep. Enjoy the holidays.

    Its all over. We won. Details to follow.

March 21, 2005

    Well we did it. Our intramural hockey team has made it to the big dance. We're in the finals. I've said every game before we get to the rink that I hope we lost the upcoming game and every time we somehow pull out the win. This time we got an empty net goal in the dying seconds to win it 4-2. Last game we held off a cheating penalty shot in the dying seconds to pull out the one nothing victory. The game before was a tight battle also that Dave and I missed when we took our room mate to the hospital (she's fine now). Quite the dramatic play-off run nonetheless. Its just after midnight and I just rolled in home. I have a butt-load of work to do before I go home next weekend. Two presentations and a related paper. I just have to supplement my section of the paper which is already well started. And then I have a huge paper due the next week that I haven't even started yet. I just want to get these dumb presentations over with. I always do bad on them, I'm not a public speaker. Ah well, just got keep on give'n'r. Keep on truckin' if you will. Well on that note I'll hit the sack. That is to say the bed, hitting the sack would not be a good idea. The sack being my school bag....there is breakables in there. Enough pointless dribble, although I'm sure you'll continue reading until I stop just in case something important comes up. Sorry not this time. Maybe some other time. I'm partially evil for this....really, I am. No, no I'm not. Ok enough, bed....sweet smelly bed. Over and outBatman.

    You're no doubt saying to yourself, what the heck, he's back for more so soon. Yes, its true. Just like the American consumer who simply wants more and can't get enough I too forever seek that Mr. Sub sandwich (from a commercial) that will stop my endless wandering. I stand before you today on the brink of greatness. I had a weird night, I was in one of my funk moods where I just want to do one thing for hours at a time and before you perverts jump to conclusions it was solitaire and listening to angry teenager music. I have to do that from time to time to remind myself that I'm still a young man who can tolerate that noise. But on the brink, quite right. I say that because I am about to take on the feared second last Biochem lab. I aim to complete it by 4 o'clock today. A modest goal but one that will propel me from the bowels of mediocrity to the heights of international stardom....well basemental stardom...well my room stardom. Yes, the brown chair and the green chair will bow down before me for they have not completed anything of this magnitude. They as merely simple servants that hold me off the floor. I rule them. What am I talking about? Am I mad? No, and let this be a lesson to you...don't read stick comics late at night and then try to do a post when your already tired. I got nothing. Peace out.

    Here is a bullet of a post, well it is going to start out as one but it may stretch itself out and become a full one. I don't know what's going to happen when I perch myself in front of this infernal machine. I call it that because its slow and old and I want to get a new machine. Big Brother tax man will dictate when I am able to do this. If its a getting money year then I'm good to go, but if its a pay money year, I'm finished. Hoot. But on a lighter note I'm happy to report that I've learned some chords for my guitar although I can't switch between them yet. I can also play the intros for both hell's bells and smoke on the water. Both legendary rock songs. Some useless boob is hammering the hell out of the wall just near my head which is overly annoying and I wish that he would piss the hell off. Its the weekend, take a break champ. Anyways, I'm losing steam so I should sign off. This is a link free post, much to the chagrin of my followers. Too bad, I just did one a few days ago, deal with it.

    Ok, well there has been a surprising development in my life. That being that I have increased my ownership of acoustic melodies. Well you might find that interesting and intriguing. Why would a born rocker like Phillips be interested in doing that? Well my friends the answer is as simple as it is horrific. I'll reveal it slowly and painfully. Yesterday me and my associates went on a road trip to the local Legion. At this venue was being held a wholesale of some kind, which was put on by a company based in London...Ontario. It was called Kismet Industries. They were selling a multitude of products. My chum Brown was able to procure some higher end poker chips and a table top for playing poker or blackjack or what have you. Dave bought nothing. And I bought a 38 inch starter guitar. So far I have learned to play an out of tune G and C. The guitar came with a pitch pipe but my limited ear can only get it so far into tune. I look forward to learning chords in time. Should be good times. I have to clean my room now for my group meeting that is being held here. Ya, that's right Mike...four girls coming down to my basement, and you said it would never happen. Hi yo. No, its just a group project but I had to throw that one out there. Ok, take care and don't die before the next post. (P.S. The older man is one of my profs that Dave has deemed, "Duane 'Bring the Pain' Falk". He is a cereal breeder at the University of Guelph, look him up if you need to.)

    Hello again, my friends. I just called to say hello. There is a little Neil Diamond to stuff in your pipe. So last night it finally happened for me. All of my life to this point culminated in one magnificent spectrum of glory and awe. Yes, you're reading right, my dreams came true, my prayers were answered. I went down the street as heaven opened and poured upon me a bounty of greatness. I am, of course, talking about my first 70's themed party. It was magic, just as I'd pictured it. Smoke machine, disco ball, strobe light; they were all there. People dressed like the 70's as far as the eye could see, which wasn't very far on account of the smoke. Ah hell, I should have taken some pictures, idiot. But nonetheless it was awesome. Tonight I venture into the bowels of the steel city....The Hammer. What terrors it might hold are beyond my scope and I only pray that I can handle the fury that will be unleashed upon me. Now back to the drudgery of everyday life, with the added bonus that I'll be doing some work for once today. Pfft. Sure you will. Hi yo....ne......ski.......lar.......ho (that's for you sexy bitch....you know who you are.)

    Well just to update on the last post, I successfully completed all those tests. I know for sure that I passed two of them, the third has yet to be seen. This week I am getting ready to party for the first time inmonths, I also have what could be the last hockey game of the year tonight. I'm not overly worried about it. I've finally fallen into the realm of playing for fun, for the love of the game if you will. Not like some people, where its just about winning or the money. Boo NHL! I'm over it though, actually I was over it months ago. I pass my time now in a much more efficient manner, except yesterday. I don't really know what happened. I slept in and the next thing I knew it was 11 o'clock at night. I apparently did nothing all day long. I'm sure it was glorious. So that's my update. I'm looking forward to getting into my new house. There is just something exciting about moving. I personally feel that it is all about the possibilities that excite people. The fear of the unknown and the promise of the future and all that jazz. Well I grow weary of this as my mild ADD flares up. Just try and see if I can stay on task. Hi yo. You know it! Over and out Charlie.

    Now I come to you in the midst of my most strenuous of situations. The midterm and assignment co-incidement (not a word). This week alone I have 3 midterms to do up and 2 papers. Good thing I took that whole week off last week and stayed in the south. Uh, didn't you squander most of that week and only study for 2 courses. Shudduppayourface (again, not a word). I have the dreaded and insolent Biochem test tonight with a surprise meeting for for a group project this afternoon. Ah, c'est la vie. There is a lot of red on the screen while I write this one. You wouldn't know, or at least I'm hoping not. My faithful readers demand more or my simple posting and require that I bring back the favoured links and pictures. My master also tells me that I can use my space more efficiently so alas I will succumb to the filthy demands. Looks like my cleverness got the best of me this time. You'll see in the link.

    I expect to bring to you a full report from my adventures at my new house and from the Storm game that I will be jointly attending on Friday night. What about all that work you spoke of earlier. Hey, I did three midterms this week. Back off! But on a lighter note I have to get back to work so alas I will part ways with all y'all for this time. (Strangely y'all has never been put forth as a spelling error. God Bless America!)
