The Sticky Situation Of Trying To Write Again. . .

Well, you loyal apostles out there, as you have probably deciphered from this posts title- I have tried to get back into writing again and already found certain down-falls to actually writing...

This problem came to my attention whilst I was reading over a previous piece that has since been gathering cobwebs and other aging... Well, I tried dusting it off and reading over what I had already written and slowly it dawned on me that certain sentences and even paragraphs where I had been repeating myself over and over again... This once fairly mediocre writing (which is good for me) had quickly come down from a few pages to a few paragraphs- if that...

Well, I suddenly found myself trying to search out the difficulty I was having, and thereby, be on my way to finding some kind of solution...

This is what I have concluded-

The Problem? (probably among many) - Vocabulary...

The Solution? - ?Unknown?

So this is, once again, where I turn my inquiries to the gallery... My audience... So if you please, some constructive suggestions are in order... I need to build on my vocabulary, and quickly if I'm going to be hopeful to attempt to get anywhere...

Problems And Confusion. . .

Evening all you disciples out there...

Well this week has so far not been kind, and it'll probably get worse before it gets better... My parents showed me the bill for my cell phone last weekend, and let's just say that I shouldn't be using it for anything else than emergencies and important calls from now on... Little did I know all long distance calls were 35 cents each and that the plan was also charging for both outgoing calls and incoming calls...

In addition to all of this, since my cell phone is a 905 number I am also being charged for both 416 numbers and other 905 numbers because of my location... I would hope that my parents had considered the charges for long distance calls and knew that I'd be making many of those, but it seems more like the "big selling factor" for them was that they wouldn't be charged for calls from my cell phone to theirs, and vice versa...

Further problems for me during this week are-- two mid-term tests on Wednesday and one tomorrow... I've already had one on Monday...

I knew something like this would happen when I applied for a college program last may (or whatever)... I guess I had hoped that my courses would be more engaging compared to high school courses...

Perhaps "engaging" is not the word I'm looking for...

In either case, I have come to the conclusion that I am simply not fit for a lengthy educational course... Relatively, from my experience with trying to find a job in Cobourg, I don't believe I am "fit" for a job-- or shall we say the job market isn't fit for me...

Frankly speaking, right now I'm confused... Yes, confused and unsure as to what even my near future holds...

All this being said, I guess even a god needs to ask for advice sometimes...

Got any?

Back. . . With A Vengeance?

I have internet! for the time being...

Yes, dearest and loyalist minions I fear I, your most worthy monarch, have neglected you for quite some time… But I must defend myself by stating that this was never my intention… Nevertheless, I have returned unlike other liberators we all know...

For those of you who have not been informed, I am now attending Humber College in Toronto and may or may not have as many postings as I would wish... All I can say on this post is that I’ll post as often as I can (wish) and there’s next to nothing any of us can do to change how much time I allow myself to put towards school and homework...

Well trusty minions, I think that’ll be all for now… I don’t want to spoil you too much...

This is your liberator... Signing off...

The Shining: The Dream

Don't Ever Fall Asleep During A Movie You Genuinely Find Creepy...

Okay, you've probably figured out the movie I was watching by now, but it'll take a little more effort to explain the dream I had...

I came home from Krys's after meeting deb (her dad's wife, as Krys calls her), I didn't mind the night, although I'd rather steer away from spending anymore time with her, Krys was really one of the only things that helped me not strangle her or get into a political debate with her (which would've resulted in the same way, I assure you)... After all, she is perfect proof that my Anti-American point of view isn't just a generalization...

Anyways, so I came home and ate, while my parents went to bed, and Ryan was fed up with his baseball game (yet still left it on!) so he wasn't around either... So after I ate, I turned on ye ol' creep show i.e. "The Shining"... This was about 1 am and I didn't really care what I watched so long as it peeked my interest, and The Shining is one of my favourite scary/creepy movies simply because it actually did creep me out the first time I saw it, instead of laughing at it the way I do with all of the more recent 'scary/creepy' movies...

So yeah, I fell asleep right around the point where Danny is talking with his father when he tries to get his red fire truck toy from his room... It's not one of the creepiest points (probably why I dropped off), but it gives that little 'I'm going to kill you soon' sort of aura to it... Anyways! geez I'm taking a long time...

So, my dream was about Danny and I... We were walking around the hotel and I could see all the blood and bodies that he could but we didn't really pay much attention to them... He refers to me as Mister A'Court just like he does with his Mother when he becomes Tony, and we walk to those stairs where Wendy smacked Jack with the baseball bat, and we look down and there's Jack lying at the bottom of the stairs... And then instantly somehow we're in the giant maze that Danny runs though to get away from Jack and Danny is Danny again (not Tony) and he giggles and runs into the maze... Now this is about the part when everything creeps me out once I woke up and remembered it... So I run after Danny and follow his tracks in the snow and everywhere I turn my head I see Jack... He's either buried in the snow frozen dead, or he's limping around, axe in hand, and yelling at the top of his lungs... Then suddenly we're back inside the hotel and I'm standing over Jacks desk looking down at the pile of paper which usually reads, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." but this time it reads, "All work and no play makes Danny a dull boy." And just like in the movie, I hear a voice say, "How do you like it?" but I don't scream and turn to see Danny standing there and repeat in Tony's voice, "How do you like it?"...

~End~

It's kind of corny, I realize that... but it creeped me out and it took me awhile to go back to sleep this morning... Funny thing is, I got a fairly good idea for a fan-comic sort of thing out of it... LOL How my mind works is strange... very strange...

A Cell Phone And Other Birthday Happenings...

Well, I said once that cell phones and other miscellaneous gadgetry would one day be the end of all man kind, but now like so many of my other opinions this particular one has fallen to the wayside and given way for one simple word; necessity. I guess you could say I've turned to my proverbial dark-side more than once this birthday year.

The Number:(905) 396 4187

And as you can clearly see, I have another newer coming about- my new blog. I hate to refer to the fact that I still do have my old blog, but in terms of turning to the dark sides of things, this particular trick isn't all that new.

~x~x~x~

Yesterday was fun, sort of... I went into town at around 5/6 or so, because my parents had decided as a last minute thing that we'd go out for dinner and if Krys wanted to come with us, she could; and did. We went to Pizza Hut and had a huge meal, Pizza Hut isn't my favourite eatery, but since we went to the Mandarin on Ryan's birthday as a kind of two birds-one stone sort of thing for the both of us, I didn't think we'd be going to anywhere special... Hell, I didn't really think anything was going to happen on my birthday. But I guess I'm glad we did something for it; well, on the day of it... I guess I was kind of expecting any and all celebrations to be going on this weekend, which they are.

Krys got me the cutest wittle dragon still hatching from its shell. It reminds me of a scene from 'Jurassic Park' where the raptor was being born and it had a chunk of shell stuck to its head.

Which brings me to the next issue I wanted to say... Please, please, please, PLEASE! No other dragon sculptures. Krys gave me one to add to my collection, and I'll ask everyone not to get me another for this birthday. The other thing I wanted to ask was- PLEASE! No fireball. I still have that huge thing of fireball that I got at Christmas or something; I think it was either Tara or Michelle that gave it to me. Well in either case I still have it, unopened! Yes that's right, the seal is not broken, and it probably won't be until Hallowe'en or something. Not that I've lost my taste for it, I just think my partying has gone down a bit during this year.

Anyways... BTW, if anyone wishes to confer with me about this weekend you can either try me on MSN or phone me as per usual. So far, I have only a few people coming and not much planned. My thoughts are that we'd(I'd) go out and rent a bunch of movies (/anime if the census is in favour of it.), or there's always my pool (even if the water is slightly opaque, it's still swimmable and perfectly healthy... is 'swimmable' a word?)... Other than those activities, I believe the next best thing is pool (billiards, I mean)... After that, I'm drawing a blank.

Okay, I think this is long enough... for now. Now just spell and grammar check with MS Word... And Publish Post...

P.S. If you find any spelling/grammar errors in any of my future posts, please direct your complaints to Mr. Bill Gates... Not that he'll be able to do much.
