Mama Mia
Here I go again! (Don’t Ask)
Anyway, I was totally pissed off Friday. My paycheck was messed up and I was almost to the point of sending them an email with the words “Knock, Knock”. I didn’t however. I went to bed instead. A good thing too, I know I would have paid out the nose for doing it. I don’t get mad often, but I never get ‘a little mad’. I’m always not mad or pissed off. Not a good thing, but it’s hard to control. But yeah, I realized it sucks, but I’ll live with it. Everybody makes mistakes and things happen for a reason. Oh well.
So yesterday (Saturday) I bought an extra Xbox controller and 007 Nightfire. So now I have something to play with Nathan, and he’s able to play (as I only had one controller previous). I was tempted to buy a 3rd controller, not sure why. I blame my Uncle James for that urge [See extended]. So we played that the whole night. It’s a great game, especially since it has bots. It reminds me so much of Perfect Dark with the bot personalities. I guess that’s why I love it.
So today after my much needed nap, after my shift, we’re going to Melissa (step-cousin I think) ’s surprise B-day party. I’m pretty sure she is turning 13, but I could be wrong. Cheryl picked up a pink purse with a butterfly on it (I picked it out). I was told Melissa liked pink and bugs, so this just had to be picked up. She also picked up a Rock n Roll for Kids CD. Melissa likes older stuff from what I’ve gathered (I guess just because she can’t listen to much of the newer stuff becase of language and subject matter. 
). Either way, I hope she likes it.
Oh, that’s what I was going to write about. Somehow, someway I got a virus on my laptop earlier today. No clue how. Had to go into Safe Mode with Command Promt to get rid of it (as it kept saying it was in use and wouldn’t delete it), made me feel all geeky and stuff. I have no clue how it got on though. The virus was an IE exploit and I don’t even have IE installed. Stupid Windows. On that, I was talking to Johno about something able to get Windows Updates without IE (at this point, I install it to download the updates, then uninstall it again). His answer: Linux. So I have an install thing for Fedora sitting here now. I’ll partition my drive later this week and install it.
Ok, saw this at Boing Boing and just had to share it. Zombie Mob’ie
Another Boing Boing link: 10k bouncy balls dropped from a building and sent down a street in San Francisco. Do You like balls?
“Ok, where’s the torch?”
“Here, use this glow in the dark condom!”
Freaking Halarious
In a day or twoooooooo
OK, that’s it for now. I’m going to go back to gaining Light Side Points from the newbies. I mean…no wait, that’s exactly what I meant. Have a nice day, That is all.

And Click. And Drag.
OK, first off, you’ll all most likely notice that my blog can now be located on the main site of Shirtninja.net . Besides the fact that it is being put there to make it more widely read, it is here in prep for Blogathon on the 6th.
Blogathon (if you don’t know already) is a marathon to which bloggers stay up for 24 hours and blog every 30 minutes to raise money for a charity of their choice. I did Project Blog last year, which was the replacement for Blogathon as it wasn’t being done, and it was awesome. Last year I was blogging for the Tim Horton’s Children Foundation, where as this year I’m blogging for Wired Safety. What they do is attempt to protect people and keep them safe online (much like myself in my line of work, but on a much larger scale). Safety is good right? Then sponsor me! Check out Blogathon’s site for more details.
OK, back to the site itself: The blog is visible from the main page, as was said, and I plan on keeping it there from now on. It is to my logic that nobody (including myself) really cares about updates on the site unless it’s something that needs to be explained. And if it is, I usually blog about it anyway. So why not just make the blog the main page? It just seems to make more sense. On a side note, it is the first step towards the implement of the new layout.
Now as for Blogging for Apples, I’m thinking I may totally kill the name. I mean A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, no? Now I know you’re either thinking “Why get rid of the name?” or “Who cares, just point me to the pron!” Well first off, to get to the pron take the 3rd star on the left and go straight on ’til morning. No wait, that’s the instructions to Never Neverland. I guess you’re on your own there. Now as for getting rid of the name, It’s just become pointless. Not only does it serve no real purpose and it’s not often noticed. Not to mention that over the past few years many name-stealing bastards have taken it; Including some dick who registered it as a domain name. So as it stands now, I’ll be throwing it out the window with the coming layout.
I’ve typed a lot so far this post, cool. As for my personal life, it hasn’t changed since you last heard from me. Went and hung out tonight, got back at 1:00am. Didn’t sleep, working now. Going to sleep when my shift is over. I like sleeping during the day. Now let me suck your blood!
O O ^ V---V
That is all.
Oh What A Rush
So Summer Rush was cool. Got to hang out with the staffz0r. Took a few picture of various things.
1. A view of the Stage from our own private VIP section. Very cool.
2. My pass to get in. Notice how it says Performer? We had no restictions. Met a couple of the real performers too. Very cool.
3. The company’s display/booth. Yay for colors. The part you can’t read in black says something about world’s biggest online chat with over 4 million users worldwide. Can’t remember the exact wording.
4-7. Buttons we were giving out. I have the whole set <3

Overall it was pretty cool. Also, I saved money on my ticket to Toronto! Usually it’s $90.96 for a return ticket. But when I bought it this time it was only $74 something! I like saving money.
So Saturday (when I got into ToR) I picked up a sub as it was 8:30pm and hadn’t eaten yet. So I call Dorthy (She’s going to hate me for calling her that ) and tell her I just grabbed a sub and I’m going to catch a cab to her place. She tells me that she’s making chicken. So I don’t eat my sub, I plan on eating it later that day. Long story short, I brought it back with me on Monday. Now since I’m often a complete moron, I ate half of it this morning. It really wasn’t too bad. Smelled right, tasted fine, just a little soggy from the lettice and tomatoes. I’m starting to think now, it was in my black laptop bag for like 2 hours walking in the sun. I’m not finishing the rest.
And that is my story for this blog. Summary: Outside is good. Outside with 3 day old meat that was in a black bag on a hot day for like 2 hours is bad. Be smart, listen to somebody else. 
That is all.
I’ll Huff and I’ll Puff…
Origami House
I need one of those houses. If anybody sees one for a good price, let me know. Has to allow pets.
Anyway, on to other stuff. I was in Toronto for 6 days (Tues-Tues), and completely cut off from the internet. Was an interesting experience. Though for one of the first times in trying to cut back, I didn’t go through my typical withdrawl symtoms. Pretty damn cool. I went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in the IMAX with Dorthy while in Toronto, was very good.
While there, I started reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Well, somebody read me the first 100 pages and made me buy it to hear the rest. So I bought a copy for me and a copy for my brother. It’s really good, and I’m not a Harry Potter fan previously. I also bought a Griffendor scarf, but just because I like the colors, I swear.
I came back Tuesday, so that I could/can spend time with my brother Nathan who is up visiting from New Brunswick. So that’s cool. I went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (yes, a second time) with him on Wednesday night. It was still awesome. I’m not a JD fan, but he was really good in this. I also had to download the whole soundtrack for the movie. I love Danny Elfmanm, he’s my hero.
Planning on going swimming today with the Short Bus today. Should be cool, I haven’t been swimming in more then a year. It will also give me a chance to show off my ‘cheese’. I like my cheese.
Anyway, I’m going to be back in T.Dot Sunday for Summer Rush. We (Company-I-Work-For-Without-A-Name) have a booth. So that’s cool. I’m sure I’ll end up buying another t-shirt against my better judgement. Should be coming back Monday (Or Tuesday, depending how much I drink [If I drink]).
In other news, Cheryl and I have decided to get an apartment together. I was hoping to move to Toronto, but recent events have brought me to the realization that it’s not only something that’s unwise, but totally pointless. So I’m going to find a place here. As long as it’s moving out, I won’t be complaining.
Other than that, I don’t think I forgot anything. That is all. And yes, That’s cool.
Gah
Gah. So here’s the scoop: Dad and Linda are heading down to NB to pick up my brother Saturday morning. He told me last week, so I book Friday’s shift (Saturday 5am-9am) off. So that’s fine. But he doesn’t know when we’re coming back. Well I need to book days off a week in advance. So as it’s Tuesday now, I can’t book a day off until Tuesday’s shift (Wednesday morning). I have Wednesday (Thursday morning) off anyway. So I proposed that we come back on the day I have off, to prevent me from having to cancel any more shifts (I can work while down there, just not while we’re traveling to and from). He won’t give me a date.
So today I say to Cheryl (who doesn’t have to go, which is retarded) that if he doesn’t let me know by Thursday I won’t be going. And my Dad gets all upset in the other room and starts yelling about how I’m going and don’t have a choice.
Now it pisses me off that he has this attitude. He treats my job like it’s not a real job because I’m smart enough to get a job where I don’t have to leave the house (yes, I’m obviously smarter then he is since I got a job where I don’t have to leave the house, and he has to drive 35-40 minutes to work every day). I mean were I making nickles and dimes, fine. But up until last month I was making more money then Cheryl, who was working more then 3 times as many hours as me. So I think that’s pretty damn good.
So yeah, he has basically today and tomarrow. If I don’t have info by Thursday morning then screw him, I won’t go. I work Saturday (Sun), Monday (Tues), Tuesday (Wed), Thursday (Fri), and repeat. So I have Monday mornings and Thursday mornings off. If we don’t travel on those days, I’m not traveling.
Hmm, maybe I’ll go to Toronto or something if he kicks me out of the house while he’s gone, that could be fun. Or I could stay in a hotel. I love hotels. Especially hotels with Wi-Fi. <3 Wi-Fi.
That is all.
Looky Looky
So my brother (Nathan) had just put together his first website. It’s not too bad in consideration that he’s 13 and it’s his first website. Go Nathan! Check it out here.
Now, what else…well it’s Monday. I’m not a fan of Monday’s anymore. It may sound weird as to why I don’t like them, but the reason is because I have the day off. Yes, I hate having days off. It throws me all out of whack. I work all but Mondays and Wednesdays this month. It’s so annoying, I hate having days off because I have nothing to do. What am I supposed to do on a weekday? Oh well.
So I woke up at 7 and went down to play Star Wars. Then I go to get a drink of my pepsi at 11 or so and see it crawling with ants! I hate Ants! So that ended my pepsi, and I came upstairs. The freaking basement has ants and that fucking sucks. Yes, I know I swore, but I’m allowed this time. I can’t play my xbox with ants. Gah, I hate bugs.
Ok, I’m done typing, I have stuff to do now. Not really, but yeah. That is all.
I’ll have my bags packed in the morning!
CNN.com – Beijing clinic ministers to online addicts – Jul 1, 2005
So I woke up this morning and came downstiars to find an article labled “Internet Addicted Youths Find Peace At Treatment Facility In Beijing” (above). So the way I see it…I’m being sent to Beijing! Woo hoo! Go Internet powers! Seriously though, it’s cool. I want to know what the ‘clear liquid’ is though that they give them. Knowing the government, it’s something to play with their brains. I want some 
Xbaited
Get your mind out of the gutter! I was baited into buying an Xbox today/yesterday. I had the overwhelming urge to play Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II. So I went out and bought the system. Yeah, I do that. In fact, that’s where I’m going to go now! So enjoy a ton of links, they’re funny and awesome and…well mostly funny. <3 Wimp.com.
Mary Poppins of Pants! Watch It.
Here’s another one from Wimp. These guys are halarious. I actually laughed out loud, and thats rare for 8am. Freaking Halarious.
This is something that I would do to people. I love being mean <3 Buzzzz
Why can’t this ever happen to me?! I’m going to buy Axe now. I’m not even kidding, this is the final straw. I’m going to go out today and buy Axe so I can have sex with some random chick in the middle of the highway. Buy Axe! G-rated, subliminal messages.
I love Rick Mercer. He is the man. And Americans…Well they’re not. O Canada
To follow up with yesterday’s post about House of Cosbys, how about a Celebrity Jeopardy with the man himself? It’s funny. Beautiful People
This guy is a retard. Yes, a retard. And he has a pink house.
This is cool. They can imprint data on your finger nails! Now you can pay for the manicure with the manicure! OMG
How about a few TV shows for the end of this. Note: These aren’t G rated. Contain blood and or cartoon breasts:
Rock Gods of Rock – Awesome. I’d watch this were it on TV fo’ sho’.
Codename: Embryo – Sweet, blood and killing Zombies.
That is all.
July 8th, 2005
So yesterday some assholes decided to place bombs in London. People were hurt, people were killed, the tubes are trashed. Simply put, it sucks ass. So I’m not going to comment on it, so don’t ask. You want info, check out Wikipedia on it.
Anyway, let’s look elsewhere.
In florida, a man is being trialed for stealing another man’s Wi-Fi signal. Now the funny part about this whole thing is that it was an OPEN signal. How can you steal something if they’e giving it out. Some people are just stupid. If this guy is guilty, I think Bush should bomb Florida for being stupid. Check out the article [Here]
Next on the list, Why Travel to France? I’d travel there just for this sign, it rocks. Funny signs are funny.
This might be one of the stupidest videos ever. [House of Cosbys] When you’re done with that first one, watch the rest of of them!
Anyway, I need to get back to work. That is all.
I kissed a drunk girl
I kissed a drunk girl
Why do I do these things I do to myself
I kissed a drunk girl
And I’m sure I coulda been
With anybody else
This song has been in my head for weeks, and I love it. I don’t know why I love it, but I do. I’m not quite sure if I’ve kissed a drunk girl (with exception to one, so it may be that). But yeah, good song by Something Corporate. Download it HERE for now. I’ll most likely remove it later though.
Anyway, I think that’s all I wanted to say really. My Triforce Tattoo has already scabbed and most of it peeled of. Go fasting healing!
That is all.
