readme.

i guess i can call this my diary. i don't have twitter and i don't want to post this sort of thing on facebook. I also want to leave this on the internet so i can come back to it one day seeing how events in my life have shaped the person i am.leaving it in a paper diary or on my computer will definitely lead itself to being lost. this wont! call this post a reaction to another chapter of my life coming to a close.

I haven't been on this thing for so long. and reading previous posts makes me want to kick myself in the balls, really hard. what kind of puss emotional fake was i before? god

I do admit to having a history of being an idiot. and in many ways, i still am a big idiot. but here i go outlining my current state of life . enjoy if you're reading, but really is for myself.

love.

im 27 now, working, collecting, building the nest egg.

endured another failed relationship recently- albeit was fun while it lasted. count that as 5 real ones now? and a bunch of nitty-gritties. could regain strength once the timing is right. but the future is uncertain and full of surprises.

what am i building this nest-egg for? for myself? ultimately i want to find that person who'll be my partner in crime, to build with and to appreciate each other's efforts. I want to share this with someone who shares my values in life and who is intelligent enough to reason and talk logic with me. its frustrating when all i encounter are people who aren't on my level. they don't get it. this goes for anything and everything - i think there's a little stupid in everyone (including me), and a little more stupid in most.

religion.

i haven't been to church in 4 years. i ask myself if I've lost my salvation and I wonder what God will think of me. i haven't changed as a person nor have my values in life changed. I am essentially the same person the last 4 years as if I've been going to church. Then what is the use of church? i have zero faith in people. if anything, i have faith in God that everyone will get what they deserve when they are judged. In that sense, church is a meaningless establishment built on a social, political, and economical foundation. This is only my opinion. Since i'm so efficiently inclined, I choose to take my sundays off and my mind cleared from here on out. However, if there is a reason to go back (to any church), then i would not rule out a glorious return. I would feel like a spy as newbies would try to convert me, not knowing my 23 years of church under my belt, of which only 12 of the years I knew what was going on.

politics.

zero interest in politics. don't even like to vote. my mom annoyed me so much that i went for the last vote. voted conservative. so i win!

education.

grew up knowing what I had to do. now that I've done it, i realize that i cant stop. learning is life-long. learning is a defense. Learning is protection. dont think that just because you have your bachelor's and a job that you're going to be ok, cause you'll be in for a surprise. the world is harsh, and the world doesn't care.

what does this mean for me? i bought my GMAT books 1.5 years ago and i haven't even opened it. I started reading my CPIM material and booked the first exam. god, definitions putting me to sleep. come on! hate school, but its necessary.

escaping reality.

why do i like 1990s music and movies so much? the oldies music brings me back to when i was a kid. it brings me back to better times where i didnt have to care about anything. didnt have to care about health, the american dream, what my marks were. those were good times. in retrospect, i dont think i wouldve done things differently. i may have possibly went a few different directions with the girlies, but nothing drastic.

i love fantasy movies, movies that show a different world, a different time, anywhere but where i am. i dont like this world that much, mostly because i havent seen much of it. id like to go to the maldives, to bora bora, to greece, to paris. when my dreams become reality, i think i'll have a better mindset on loving life. till then, i'll stick to music and movies.

i cant think of anything else to put on here right now, but i'm sure ill be back at some point to give myself an update.

peace drew

18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden. 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use?

so im sitting here listening to chopin's nocturne no.2
nestled into the blue office chair inside my house, comfortable
with a glance outside, i see moving clouds

reminds me that autumn is coming
i stand outside at work on a busy street of toronto named dufferin
i find a nice spot under a tree on a rich green lawn. no dog poop here, kids
young'ins stand on their porches watching the construction workers hard at work.
grandparents sit on the porch chairs watching the fruit of their children's loins
"bang clank thump" goes the flying debris.
yet through the destruction, there is calm.
the gentle breeze runs by my face as the sun gets momentarily covered by the moving clouds above
what? a god moment while i'm at work?
another gentle breeze floats by
was it the traffic flying by? no, i'd be feeling the wind all day
was it the construction man's downwind release of natural gases? no, it smelled calm
yes, the breeze can smell calm. open your noses next time

what's up? what brings you to me during work?
stupid dru, why are the kids watching the construction workers?
why are the granparents watching their grandchildren?

my notebook and measuring tape fall neatly beside me
my head gently sways back and forth as i lie down
ah. i see..
i love spending time with you too.

why.

2006-08-12T08:12:00.000-04:00

pissed off. god, why are people so stupid
calm down. things will work out. they have to
pissed off. god, why do people tend to fail us?
calm down. listen to http://www.break.com/top_rated/worlds_best_ukulele_player.html
pissed off. not only pissed for myself but pissed for other people.

your expectations for other people have made you feel this way, dru
think less of other people and you won't be so disappointed next time.
fine. although that is just stupid to think, its the truth.
if you expect people to fail you, then you won't be disappointed when they do.

but god, how can they just do that?
people are selfish and think of themselves much
expect it.

in other news, joanne is an idiot!

(joanne and nathan eating oranges in their kitchen facing the backyard)
joanne: "Ohmigosh!"
shanaytrix: what, what??
joanne: OH nothing, I thought I saw a squirrel in the backyard
shanaytrix: ...
joanne: ..

(they both look closer)
nathan: that's a tree stump, you idiot
joanne: shut up! (joanne runs to get her camera)
It looks like a squirrel standing upright with its hands up!
If people see what I see...

The whole earth falls to its knees
At the sound of Your beautiful name
And all the voices in the world unify today
to bring You this song of praise

i love my church.

little henrys innocence inspires me
he sits on a chair spinning around outside the august outreach committee meeting, longing to join us in talking. he is outspoken and always hungry. he jumps at the sight of food. we had progressive dinner on friday. my house was the "appetizer" house. my parents graciously prepared an assortment of food including chinese buns, barbequed hot dogs, and the ever popular curried fish balls. i was being tight and only giving 3 away to people hahahah. but people like chris ate like 10!! after everyone left i ate 23 and left also hahaha.
but henry! he is so cool. before his car leaves, he runs up to the table and grabs two more chinese buns and runs off lol.

shelby is a rock.
"but if we have faith to respond to God's call and to take on "God-sized" tasks, then we are stretched and blessed in our faith, and first hand given witness to the greatness of the Lord as well and demonstrating to others the power of our God."
and this is talking about the tent we're going to rent for outdoor praise night! holy hahahah
she told me this sunday that i inspire her. but lies, she is the one that inspires.
hi shelby.

the congregation was rocking this sunday.
the all star worship team assembled. people jumping onto the same page
new drum equipment. i stand to the side at service for a reason (so i can see everyone else also)
i guess you can say worshipping lies in the hearts of the people. but i dream that we could, for just one day all sing at the top of our lungs. how amazing would that be.

wow. what a change of scenery from the last blog post.
was that just me or was that the church PMS-ing.
august outreach just around the corner. lets do it!

dru, get up. go make some calls.
- ok chris.
its not chris
- huh? then who is it?
i think you know who it is :)

i leave you with one of my favourite worship songs/hymns:

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

barf.

2006-07-24T15:13:00.000-04:00

i dont understand it.

why was church so dead yesterday? hold up. let me rephrase
why has church been so dead lately? even with august outreach looming ahead?

maybe we, as an english ministry have had it so good for the past 6 years that we really need to hit the wall before we realize that we have a great church and that its worth working for, serving at. The more God seems works in our church, the further we seem to slip away. Maybe we need to endure some hard times before we can shape up.

i have a theory about church. its so sad but i think its so true.
people use church for selfish reasons.
God? no.
its not enough.

why isn't it enough? the Holy Spirit alone should fill us.

ambitious real estate agents, doctors, lawyers, and professionals
can so easily put on a face and use the church.
okay so we're all gona get homes soontime. who are we gona go to?
someone at church right?
we get into trouble with the law, car accidents, whatever. who are we gona go to?
someone at church right?
get sick? need car help? need WHATEVER
its so bs. ofcourse no one says it but i think faith fails many times

people have seemed to all become complacent and lifeless.
people falling away.
people generally not caring anymore.
people encouraging stupidness.

makes me sick to my stomach, seeing people go through
things that they dont need to; making pathetic examples of themselves.

maybe we're just not mature in our faith. maybe we have no faith
maybe we want to have all the fun before we become serious

but no,
I can't say these things right?
how can I point out the splinter in my friends' eyes when there are planks in my own eyes?

I don't know how else to put it,
other than I feel useless if I don't say anything
and I feel like I'm judging too much if I do.

gona go barf now. afk

zing!

Cool Listenings...
Sister Act 2 - Joyful, joyful
Karl Wolf (feat. Choclair) - Desensatize (Remix)
Pearl Jam - Where oh where...

Put Your Records On - Corinne Bailey Rae

Three little birds, sat on my window.
And they told me I don't need to worry.
Summer came like cinnamon
So sweet,
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.

Maybe sometimes, we got it wrong,
but it's alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don't you hesitate.

Girl, put your records on,
tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans,
I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

Blue as the sky, sombre and lonely,
Sipping tea in the bar by the road side,
(just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you,
Gotta love that afro hairdo.

Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid,
but it's alright
The more you stay the same, the more we seem to change
Oh, don't you think its strange?

Girl, put your records on,
tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans,
I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

Just more than I could take,
pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake,
I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realise,
that you don't even have to try any longer.
Do what you want to.

Girl, put your records on,
tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans,
I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Oh, You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

top 15 movies of dru's time.

2006-07-09T07:46:00.000-04:00

please don't flame me!
cause i love these movies

honourable mentions: love actually, moulin rouge

15. The Matrix - keanu was sick. connection was sick. the lobby scene was real sick.

14. Pearl Harbor - come on. josh hartnett and ben affleck flying planes? jenn garner AND my kate tending to their wounds? enough said

13. Star Wars : The Phantom Menace - Darth Maul coolest villain ever. natalie portman making her entry into my life! the light saber scene with qui-gon and young obi-wan kenobi dannngg.

12. Underworld 1 and 2 - just love the concept and ofcourse kate beckinsale in leather doesn't hurt. im into that whole oh-so-powerful overlord dealie

11. Face Off /The Rock- i love nick cage and john travolta. who is who!! who is the bad guy!! who knows? and in the rock with sean connery. shooting guns, explosions, car chases, jailtime, OPA!

10. The Last Samurai - i didn't think i'd like this movie, but tbh i loved it (except for the fact that the last samurai turns out to be the white guy!). Woulda liked to see more of the ninjas, though.

9. 007 James Bond: world is not enough, die another day - im so into that espionnage crap! with cool gadgets and nice cars/women and ofcourse, sneaking around with one gun and a black/white suit! what style!

8. Jerry Maguire - renee and tom so cute. with a look into the life of a sports agent and the brutal truth that its a dog eat dog world out there. but they had me at hello. awww!

7. Batman Begins - i didn't know bruce wayne trained to be a ninja! he is SO much cooler now.

6. Monsters inc. - SULLY AND MIKE WAZOWSKI!! and the hidden world of closet monsters.

5. Zoolander - okok don't run me over just yet. i don't care what anybody says. i loved this movie. i've never LOL-ed so much in a PACKED movie theatre before. i swear. EVERY scene inspired some sort of cackle, giggle, or chuckle from me. i guess you now have a sense of what makes me laugh if you didn't know me. and if you did know me already, then this shouldn't be a surprise :)

4. The Gladiator - Russell Crowe is so sick. I love the man-in-power turned slave who rises back-to-power dealie. It would've been soooo much cooler if he actually got to his armies and brought them back to Rome to take over! it was a bittersweet ending. amazing, but bittersweet.

3. Pirates of the Carribean - never knew i'd like this one as much as i did either, but left the theatre with a feeling of...wow! keira knightley, orlando bloom, johnny depp? sweeet! with hardy-har-har pirates running around on boats with hidden treasure and the reject pirates on the run with curses! joyyy

2. Armageddon - bruce willis was sarcastic. ben affleck was dreamy. liv tyler was to die for. Billy Bob had Angelina! with the cast of reject oil diggers that have gone on to shine in so many other movies. This movie showcased them. (Owen Wilson, the big black guy, the crazy eyed guy, etcetc). With Aerosmith heading up your soundtrack and a fool proof story; this movie was sure to make it!
Made me cry when bruce pushed ben back into the elevator thingy. Reminds me of the love that graces us everyday. And ofcourse, when ben and liv finally see eachother again! just makes me want to kick someone.

1. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship, Two Towers, Return of the King - fantasy movies are so cool. With the anticipation going into each movie, it was an amazing feeling coming out with a sense of expectations surpassed. I loved the first one, even more the second, and EVEN more so the third installment. The 3 movies in one showed the continuity of the story and captivated me each time i saw them. The perserverence and triumph through and at the end of each battle was felt so clearly. I loved how the races banded together at times to face evil. It is a great sight to see when people come to their senses. The horses scene coming "from the east" at the end of two towers gave me such an adrenaline rush, as did the arrival of Rohan at the end of Return of the King at Minas Tirith. The only thing i didnt really like too much was the part where the undead army comes in and overruns everything. That was sooo cheap and such a bail out. I've watched each movie about 11-13 times each. if you would do the math, thats about 4 full days of my life for 3 movies. I enjoyed every second of it.

p.s
worst movie of all time:
KUNG POW - oh dear god. that is all i have to say about this one. i definitely got dumber after watching this.

for the first time in my life, i witnessed a car crash
right before my eyes, on davenport and avenue Road
with the traffic beginning to build, air-conditioned and calm
the cab driver man, tense and aggressive

he wants to beat the traffic, and he didn't care to watch
he waves the sunfire off, "let me pass" (to the other side of the road)
zoom zoom zoom, or so he thought. he was almost gone
u-turn to on-coming traffic, not very impressive

the sounds are too real to type, was stilled when all seemed lost
expressions very telling, in the sun's heat, both men felt cold
stupid cab driver, learn to drive, seriously son
air-conditioned and calm, on davenport and avenue road.

ouch ouch

2006-07-03T19:25:00.000-04:00

norah jones - don't know why

im so excited.
its church today!!
and then fellowship!!
and then we are sending off our missions team for a week!
then i will eat food!!
then we will hook winstone up with a woman!
i think im more excited than he is.

oh the joy of seeing your friends happy :)

had our annual canada day thingy yesterday.
it was raining when the fireworks blasted up though
and simon got shot in the foot with a firework lolol
stupid kids i told them not to do it in the playground.
all fun and games till someone shoots themselves with a firework

had the randomest worship yesterday that was so good.
milton randomly playing jeffs out of tune guitar
queenie randomly playing jeffs out of tune piano
with random outbursts of mandarine(i like making it sound like a fruit) music with group singing hahah with random vocals from donald, anna, and walter hahah you guys are so good!
TNT?? k my mandarine isnt that good ok DAI TOONG WAH!?!! its the michael wong song!!

the only mandarin lines i know are:
i don't know
what're you doing
i have no money
i am your friend
you are very pretty
i love you

i think i've got the accent down pretty well for those lines.
if you know me you'll prolly know that i randomly outburst with mandarine at any time.

last night reminded me of a thought as i watched the fireworks through the rain from the comfort of jeffs living room couch. we're all like fireworks for god, ready to burst out with energy and fire for god where everyone can see his glory.
we all have so much potential. if only we knew how to unleash it with every person.
utopia?

some people are like those 'roman candles(?)' burst out with power and confidence for god sporadically.

unfortunately, some people are like those one shot dealies. burst out once in a lifetime and then you never see that brilliance again.

even more unfortunate are those people that never get that fire in them. sitting on the floor unused and untapped. they don't see the light of god.

then there are some of us that are those neverending sparklers.
you sparkle and shine and sparkle and shine and sparkle and shine
you are a constant for god and his people.
if you say you know god, then this type of power should show in your life.

august outreach meeting soontime at 8am! should get changed and stuff

DO IT,

payce

squinting.

2006-07-01T00:11:00.000-04:00

one of those days.
i sing dixie chicks at the office with one of the middle aged women.
people ask me why im so happy listening to country 95.3 at 7am in the morning
i dont know.
its just funny how things work out sometimes you know
and disappointing how some things dont work out.
and then when im quiet(like most people), people think somethings definitely wrong! i think ive gotten to that point where i have to be unusually talkative and alive. its come to be something that's expected of me. so i push onward, trying to be that constant that people expect. trying to be that breath of fresh air at the end of the week. trying to be me. but if i am trying to be me, then is that really me. not all the time i guess? everyone has those days. yeah i dont understand it much either thats why i have to type it down cause i confuse myself.

i think im needing a breath of fresh air.

squinting from the full day of contacs on the eyes
bittersweet.

squint those eyes and take them off god for one second
then he takes that mozarella stick right off your party platter you pay $15.99 for (plus tax and tip)

'you give and take away
you give and take away'

I saw the sign
and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
Life is demanding without understanding
I saw the sign
and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign.

ace of base

2006-06-28T17:49:00.000-04:00

they were good wernt they.

"all that she wantss is another baby! shes gone tomorrow boy!"
"its a beautiful life! ohh oh oh oh"
"i saw the sign, it opened up my eyes i saw the sign!"
(hope you guys see the subtle links to my life and the lives of my friends in these lines)

i remember continuously singing a parody of the sign song in grade 5.
it was funny. and kinda dirty but meh

why is my brother so lazy. i feel like his dad cause i have to keep calling him to remind him stuff while im at work. my parents are out of town fishing again. i think it is nerdy, but can foresee me turning into one of those cottage dwellers later in life ahha..

but anyway.

song of choice: jacksoul - somedays

so yeah.
i keep reminding him to stop playing games every single day
tell him to take out the recycling/garbage
tell him to water the plants/grass (which reminds me ill go do it now)
tell him to get better marks/a job/a life
hes a 17 year old kid and cant even do anything himself.
maybe i should rethink my future parenting style.

before i always thought i'd be the cool dad!! the one that is
loved more than the evil mother har har har..
thought the philosophy was:
do anything you'd like but you have to keep your marks up.

dont think thats gona work anymore.
hahaha why are there such hard parts in life throughout.

get good marks in high school -
make mom and dad proud
get into a good university
make mom and dad proud
get good marks in university
get a good job
do well at that job
get a better job

and somewhere in all of that,
find a friend that is funny
develop that friendship
develop it into a relationship
marry the girl
make mom and dad proud
have kids, teach the kids, descipline the kids, love the kids

and the foundation of all of that,
developing faith, understanding it, learning it, living it

song of choice:
rob thomas - ever the same

k whoa my mood just changed.
ANDREW! CRY YOURSELF A RIVER!!! GOD!
yes i am talking to myself. i tend to do that. a lot

all the things i complained about makes life good!
my little 5 year old cousin is running around the house behind me hahaha he is annoying the crap out of my brother right now lolollsdaksd;las while sleeping HAHA he gives me a hug when i come home from work. and now he is climbing on my back as i type.
and asks me "are you done FAAN GOONG??"
i gona go power bomb him ahhahahahah

k back
cant wait till the things i complained about will be fulfilled!
cant wait till i see my brother change into a full fledged man!
cant wait till the woman wows me!
what a glorious chain of events that i call and hope to call my life

maybe it will be nice outside this evening.
maybe you will read this and say
what the random gay? (in a happy way)
yes i overanalyse stuff. OH WELL
yes i am stupid. OH WELL

whoa mood swings, that time of month
NBA draft tonight!

2006-06-22T19:50:00.000-04:00

is that how you spell it?
well i got FREE breakfast today!!!

so i got into work today at 6:45am again today. sat there for 15 minutes, picked up my pay day cheque! and then journeyed my way up to the kennedy/mcnicoll enbridge yard for FREE BREAKFAST!! yes it was so FREE.

i thought it was gona be some sucky breakfast but then apparently enbridge has a CREW that just goes around toronto to random places such as the eatons center just to make FOOD for people..for FREE! the heck!.. well breakfast was cheese omlette + peameal bacon on a bun (i put 4 on one cause i saw some big dude do it..it was so good!!) and then chopped up hash browns and a bottle of ketchup basically..it was awesome.
then we sat around for an hour and then started work. sat at CHARTWELL for another few hours hahahah doing paperwork. felix went to sleep..what a homie

well yep did work stuff for the day and went to church to do more paperwork. i filled out so many stupid forms today..i think my perpetual middle finger blister on my right hand got at least one milimetre bigger in circumference..but it was funny

stupid anna put on her HEADPHONES although it was broken and connected to NOTHING.. and she was like.."why isnt it working??".. just imagine putting a piece of random crap on your head and asking why it isnt playing music. and then she goes on to say "HEY, this one is working though!".. and YES, you couldve guessed it. THAT was the part that was connected(which fell to the floor).

speaking of stupidness i must post this winston story cause i fear that i will forget it one day.
its actually a 2 part story.

FIRST ONE.
k so we are standing in the line of wendys: me nay and winstone after ball. he smacks nathan on the shoulder and says: (dialogue)

stone: yO! ( with a MADFACE!!!) i called you yesterday
nathan: (with a calm face) yea, and i called you back
stone: yea i was playing ball
nathan: you didnt call me back.
stone: yea i fell asleep ( and continuously nods with a blank face)

HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHsdkjadlkaf oh man classic winstone thats all i have to say

PART 2.
k so nathan and stone are walking into MCBC for ball (as i was already inside)
a little background information: i have dual netherland flags on my car (cause they are so orange and van nistelrooy is on the team)

k so heres the dialogue:

stone: (cockyface, seeing the flags) pft dru's not FRENCH
nathan: (calmface) that's the netherlands, theyre HOLLAND flags
stone: (still cockyface) pft, he's not HOLLISH either
nathan: (laughing hysterically) its dutch, idiot

winstone is cool guy, very big and dominates the bball game!!!

uhh PAYCE!

old.

2006-06-05T15:44:00.000-04:00

Old. (post inspired by a recent conversation with a friend)

This word makes my heart pound. Its like a river of stupidness, giddiness and even anger that rushes through me.

Being older. Old times. Old favourites. Old behaviour.
Relatives getting old. Cute kids getting old. Punky brother getting old.
Old groups. Old passtimes. Old inspirations. Old aspirations.

The list obviously goes on and on. I don't even know why I am typing here anymore. I don't tell anyone to visit this and I haven't updated for a few years. But I guess I'm just bored and I can get a little ranting done here without feeling a bit girly by writing it on paper.

Heh.. I'm older now. I'm 22 and I'm just kinda running on a treadmill. Not really getting anywhere but not really caring. I play basketball maybe 3, 4 times a week. played AFC a few years back in the Timothy division. came in first and got our trophies!! we have so many trophies at the church ahhaha we should get a trophy rack!! but anyway, Not very good at ball or anything but it beats running outside. I dont know. I never understood what was so good about running outside. Its so boring ahahha..
but at least in bball you can run after a ball and jump and stuff with more people.

Right now still at utsc. Last year coming up. By then I'll be 23 and starting my REAL LIFE. whoa hold up.
Hmm that doesn't sound very appealing at all. Esspecially from what I've been hearing and seeing. I wonder what God has in store for me. Try not to think about it too much, but I never know when i REALLY want to know my future, or when i really am better off not knowing.

meh. I play my sports and im content.

playing ccsa softball again after the one year ditch. chris doesnt like ccsa much. hes my pastor. he has been ever since i was the punky kid in the family. just chatting with a friend yesterday about all sorts of things. Rev. Chris has really been a blessing to my church and especially to me. I never tell him this because it is a sign of weakness and he will make fun of me. But without him guiding me in Christ, I'd prolly be living a very different life at this point.

Anyway CCSA is fun!! I am too much of a competitive person. Played on our hcefc SAINTS!! for junior ccsa and one year of senior. Also played for DELIVERENCE!! one summer haha..
now i am playing on stupid jons church team. and he doesnt even play on it. but then heiky and nathan aas well as joyce are playing so its all good. dont really know the people yet but hopefully will be well aquainted sometime. oh the church is MCBC Kerygma!!

I've been listening to lots of oldies lately. Makes me smile in real. I am smiling now listening to lauren hill. Cant believe i traded it to heiky for the nelly cd. what was i thinking, GOD!!
its ok air force onessss! Listening to oldies makes me feel like im at the movies, in a different world.
maybe thats why i got hooked to this warcraft game for so long. It takes me from reality and into a different place. Thats why i also love movies. These old audio tracks brings me back to a different time, a different situation, a different mindset and a different person. Is it that I like escaping reality?.

Church. Yeap. Still going strong. Been going since 1990 hahahah.. 16 years. and been baptized for almost 5 years now woo hoo! good times. Oh dear thats most of my life. And I can still say that My life would not be the same without it, and God paving the path which I walk on. I haven't always been walking on the path, but I somehow always find my way back to that narrow road. My friends and family is the explanation for that as well as the almighty magnet that I call God.

I remember back when we first did S.A.L.T at church ahahah. We'd go to church on sundays at like 6 something 7 ahhaha. and chris made us all write sermons and speak it. Was a great experience. I was one of the first fellowship captains!! hahaha mad funny. I hope I can be used to revamp this young adult fellowship at church. Been kinda hanging around the high school fellowship the past few years being a concellor. I still have so much in the tank. I just pray that I can be used fully to my potential. Decided to go to urbana at the end of this year!! was an easy decision . Hope enough of us go.. come on people!! oh yah. hits me again that no one reads this. zing!

and TC!! how can i forget. Tc media 2002, Tc Rec 2004, 2006!
so much to say. but very tired from work. soo..tbc

love this stuff. love serving. love God.

back in the game!! gona end this now. word.
till we meet again.

huh?

is on the verge of kidding prince hector of troy! i didnt study this myth yet but i heard that hector is supposed to run scared around the city running away from achilles before he dies, but
it doesnt show in the movie..prolly cause they want to make him look honourable and everything

anyway i have school tonight at 7..accounting. great
and then i have stats and bball tomorrow!! BARRRRR!!! well yes..i dont like work very much
but hey, it is my choice for a false sense of security
oh well

i forgot i had a blog haha
well second term of second year is starting tomorrow
im currently in coop management at utsc
but i dont know if i still wana be in it
my marks aren't that great and i have to apply for jobs this term
i dont know what i have to do and who to go to
but i guess i have friends to help me..but its still hard

maybe ill just self kick myself out so i can bask in the sunshine!
well anyway new years was good as always
christmas was good as always
i dont understand why it takes so long for school to friggin post up my marks
right now i only have 2 of 5 of my marks

and now i am sick
i dont like being sick
i get so weak and i just cant move
oh yeah and i dont like how sportsnet and tsn just leaves out good plays against toronto
like..say the raptors yesterday playing against the orlando magic

ray allen was in the top plays yesterday for this nice reverse layup
and grant hill got a IDENTICAL reverse AND 1 on the raps yesterday and it doesnt even get played? how tight is that..AND THEN..when lamond murray shoots an impossible 3 pointer at the end of the shotclock..they replay that..but not the part after that..which was the funnier play..grant hill dribbles up the court, crosses lamond murray over, murray FALLS DOWN from the cross, and grant hill makes the jumper.

sportsnet doesnt even show ANY highlights from the magic..bunch of losers oh well
i will be back sometime

well anyway school sucks..i have actually 5 courses..and it is tough..stats, micro, organizational behaviour, philosophy and mythology..so much reading dammit! well after this sem, i dont have to take anymore humanities..stupid reading..i hate reading! unless it is the sports section or the JUMBLE section of the newspaper (btw ichiro suzuki is sick!! hes SICK!!)

the people that do prolly thought i've stopped posting haha..
i really don't care.
