The Joys of a well earned weekend

I started my weekend thursday night at the pub. Despite having three tests the next morning. I know mature isn't it. It was totally worth it. Spending a night in a just about empty campus pub with three of my best friends from college. It said a calmer mood and it wasn't hot and sweaty from dancing with everyone just chills and small thrills.

Yes Coad and I are dressed in layers. Both being athletes and normally going between the field of play, gym and class we add or strip layers and the 1.5 K walk from the campus building had us chilled like vodka martinis.


I don't have to wear a pink wrist band simply because the Pub has my ID on digital file, accompanied by a smart serve cert. I just walk in my buds get tagged and carded.


Around 9 PM, we decided on calling it quits some of us had 1 and half hour commutes over transit to get home. I drove and not feeling confident and slightly buzzed. I called my Dad to pick me and Michelle up, when my dad got to the pub he asked if Coad and Jon wanted rides so we were set. It was awesome my dad even joined in on Hotel California and sang horrible out of tune with out drunk ass(s).


It was nearing 11 by the time I got in the door, seeing has dad had to go out to another town to take Jon and Michelle home. Then through out town past another one into the next to get Coady home. Then dad decided he wanted snakes so we drove back past our town into the next to get a snack at the store, then home.


The night was great and an awesome plan in theory until I found myself cramming for marketing at 2 AM. Ha went to bed woke up at 6 and started my day. I think I did a decent job of the marketing and probably did well on the computers and math as well. Can't wait to get those grades back. I have final left for Marketing, Computer and Math coming this upcoming week. So I'll be doing some studying but I'm definitely confident and refuse to stress and pysche myself out over it.


Friday night when my weekend actually start I hit up a jam session with Jeff and a few friends. It's been awhile since I"ve taken the time to really kick out on the drums. Came home and did nothing but crash and vege out.


This semester has been insane for me but worth every second of it.

World AIDS Day

My College took World AIDS Day to an entirely new level for me. I've always known the significance of today and what it represents, but I'd never seen promoted so widely. Not many people wore the ribbon simply because the pins were cheap thin hardware nails and nobody wanted to get stabbed.
On campus you got the sense that AIDS as terrible as it is. Is not just a desires for gay guys. Nor that it was  only something that affected the gay populations. It reminded those on campus that AIDS doesn't discriminate based on race, gender, orientation or age....it just infects.
Safe Sex is always promoted on campus though it's slightly more geared toward women in the women's center. Even abstinence is promoted until marriage and what not.

Somethings Never Change

Random Picture

When I was eight, I read my way through Moby Dick, Sherlock Homes and Great expectations from the Great Illustrated Classics by Baronet Books. I read them on the toilet. 14 years later I'm doing the same thing; The books just don't have many pictures these days.

As a small child when October rolled around, it wasn't the prospect of halloween that had me eagerly waiting. It was the Sears Christmas Wishbook. They used to mail it out and I'd ask religiously if it came, Until one October my dad just handed over the mail key and made me mail man for the month of October.
Years later....I'm the daily mail man and I sort the mail into piles and I just picture up the 2010's Wishbook at Sears last Thursday. I no longer go through it to make my list for Santa but now figure out what I'm going to get everybody else.

My parents have often told me...from the time I was a wee child. The minuet I was put into the car seat I'd throw my hands up in the air demanding to be buckled in. I would grumble and glare until my want was met. When I started talking, I would tell everyone in the car to buckle up and I would throw a tantrum if they didn't buckle up before the car started moving to get out of the drive way.
Today I just refuse to start the car all together if my passengers won't buckle it.

It just amuses me to no extent that certain things just don't seem to change about people. Sure the method may change or the application but it really doesn't....just a little food for thought.

Something In Your Mouth- Music Video Of the Day

What can I say I've grown up on Nickleback's music; They never disappoint. Something In Your mouth is such a clever play on words and an awesome song. I picked the live video..because I often prefer live over recorded.

Contemplation

Contemplation
Lately I've been contemplating a lot, worldly and personal. Many of them I don't have answers to.

Why are we so concerned with STATUS?
You see it everyday in workplace, school on the metro and online.  Popularity- Who's queen bee?, Who has the best blog?, the hottest car?. I just don't get it.

Why Do I bottle things up?
If it's personal and it bugs me. I don't talk it out I shoe it to the back of my mind like a splinter and let fester. I know it'll eventually consume me, yet I do it anyways.

Whats with the world and religious retardation?
A true muslin can not be a terrorist, yet the whole islam faith is tarnished as a whole because of a few. Why must all Catholic Priests be pushed under the banner of pedophiles jokingly or subconsciously, because of a set of bastard priests who were?  What's with the dumb ass who burned the koran....clearly his God isn't the won I was brought up to believe in.

I've been contemplating things like this late. Maybe college has just brought out my critical mind from hiding. I have no idea.

Is there anything you contemplate?

I'm on Twitter....Stock Me!

Music Video of the day

I'm bringing back the music video of the day. It was one of the few fun things about this blog; before my blog basically died. Recently I figured out who sang I Come From Land Down Under after years of listening to the song. Turns out they are quite a top notch band from good old Aussie Land. It's shame music isn't as dorky and creative these days.

I can't believe it, It's been over a month

Distracted from studying

I can't believe it's been over a month since I started college. I mean seriously where is the time going? got an answer? Cause I sure don't. My course schedule is somewhat all over the place but I do enjoy it. I've been able to extract break time to put a dent in some of the daily homework I receive on a daily basis. What can I say college is great....though the food prices could be adjusted to fit the monetary level of a college kid.
I'm happy to say I've settled into a routine. Now with college firmly under way I can really start searching for a job again. With christmas right under our noses many locations are looking to bring in some fresh new faces onto their rosters. I'd like to pull in a job and be able to get my family some nice stuff this christmas. The culinary teacher insists on calling me Colin so I've all but given up on his use of my first name. I see him in the halls so his remembering my name isn't priority.
I think my favourite course would have to be marketing. The teacher is top notch and there is never a boring moment. Though I enjoy all my classes despite finding a few of them rather useless.
Thats just a scant update on life
