Well i'm off

this will the last post for a week or more, as monday i'm off to K country. I'm not really all that excited and really don't want to go, but if anyone phones me repeatedly and begs me to do soemthing will usually get their wish-whether it to see a Jerry Bruckheimer movie, go back to a job that was great last year but will be mediocre at best this year, or killing the president of paraguay with a fork. (extra points if you can tell me what movie that last line is from)

No matter my hesitation i'mm off and it will be a long summer.

Other Options

So today I was studying outside in the university bowl today and something absolutely ridiculous caught my attention.

These fucking guys dressed in black sweat pants and black gym shirts are working out in the bowl with a video camera.

And they weren’t doing just a regular work out, they were doing gymnastic work-outs , where they were filming each other do flips and kart-wheels and stuff. The most ridiculous one was where they would climb up these stairs hang off the edge of the stairs (the stairs that lead up to marquis hall cafeteria) and then they would let go, fall and do a shoulder roll.

Now at first I thought it was hilarious because they were all high-fiving each other, and it looked like they were all ben stiller impersonators from dodgeball-or any ben stiller movie for that matter.

Anyway after about the first 5 minutes I realized that these guys were 100% serious. I realized this as the one guy was talking about how his one buddy did this one trick and was able to do a kart-wheel right before he landed. And all the other guys were standing there eating up this story, no video camera rolling.

They were serious.

What was worse was the fact that they were terrible at doing their acrobatics each time one of them landed from a half assed flip off of a stool I was convinced that the landing might have caused a broken leg.

Now I realize me trying to explain this to you is impossible to grasp the scary hilarity of the situation. But it was bad, I was trying to comment to andrew as they would spin off of fire hydrants and jumping all around like 10 yearolds that they really looked like tools. But all I could manage was “don’t they know that… that… just isn’t cool?”

And I know it seems like they had to be spoofing something, but I’m pretty positive they weren’t. it’s unexplainable how they could have even possibly have formed the group, but there they were using the bowl as their jungle gym….

And ugh this post sucks. I need to start going out more, or something as I have very little to write about… as I have proved with the above paragraph.

I saw the ex today, it was kinda ridiculous as it always is, she still looks like keira knightely…

Question: why is that people who you can get along so well at one point, months later, will play with their hair and look down at the ground as you walk by?

It’s fucking messed.

Like the funny thing is I thought about doing it too, but we were walking up/down the stairs and there was no way of pretending especially since we made eye contact right off the base of the stairs and would knowingly have to pass by one another- would it have not been easier to wave hello like grown ups rather than me do the half wave thing her to do her thing and it just be awkward?

Fuck whatever

You know I think I finally understand Brokeback Mountain.

Loving another dude is much simpler than loving a woman.

Perks to being gay

1) none of this two hormone shit
2) you both share the same hormone
3) if you ever commit genocide people will excuse you for it by saying “oh he was gay”
4) you can have taste in clothing and drink maritni’s without hassle (though there is nothing gay about a dry gin martini, but whatever go hickvile saskatchewan!)
5) easy excuse not to like hockey
6) Will always have hot women with you, which is better than my current state of no women with me ever
7) Never have to worry about getting married or having kids
8) You can like the scissors sisters without being ashamed
9) I’m sure there are other perks


Perks to not being gay

1) Keira Knightley
2) Viggo Mor- errr Keira Knightley
… and I’m going to quit while I’m ahead

April Fools Day Is For Suckers

I had been throwing around the idea last week of doing an April fools day post, and as i invested an increasing amount of time thinking about what would be funny but wouldn't be taken seriously by the people that read this; i realized that prolly 95% of my readership wouldn't even get that it was april fools day and thus effectively ruining the whole humour to the post and it'd ruin my day.

*note what is 5% of 3 people?

anyway i think the only thing that April fools day proves is 3 things

A) People are fucking stupid (we all knew that though, no point in dedicating half a day to the realization of that fact)

B) People are rarely aware of where they are or what they are doing let alone what day of week it is.

C) it really isn't that funny.

"I'm going to Vienna next week Fred!"
"Really?"
"No April fools day ahahahaha!"
"you're a moron sam"


... it's true,
i've got nothing.
