Welcome To My Life

The ramblings, opinions and happenings of a college student

7/8/09 12:29 am - Titles are overrated...

So like last summer...no the summer before that I started a blog entry by quoting a Bryan Adams song. I am tempted to do that again as this blog entry sort of has something to do with that song, but I don’t want to rehash old things. But ya....so this summer has been mad good times. (I should make this blog seem like a reality TV show)

The Real World: Cambridge circa. May & June 2009

...I work full-time...I love hanging out with friends...partying is good times...I love music and I love going to shows...

***************************

"So come hang out with us" "I gotta go pick up stuff for J-Rod, But I will when I’m back". So I hung out with Jenn, Jesse & Catlin. We chilled and then Dorothy came and joined us. Jenn and Jesse left and Dorothy was like let’s do something. Catlin then was like its Sunday nite what’s open? Dorothy then said why not Phil’s? So J-Rod wimped out and ya.....so we headed down to Phil’s. So that night was well a blast.....It ended involving some no a lot of Tequila...and some dancing. Let’s just say it was a blast. It also involved some Green Day, Nirvana & Bryan Adams. Oh Summer of 69......

Next J-Rod and G-Baby became legal....It was one kicking party. Partying with the BP crew....Less Tequila then at Phil’s...It was fun though....J-Rod and pitch but he cant dive worth sh.....Fun times though everyone was there well pretty much everyone....it was a night that wont be forgotten.

Then next day I was back in Hamilton and I was chilling at the Fergusons for Tiff's B-Day. It is so awesome being able to hang out with Tiff again. She is so awesome to talk with and hang out with.

A couple days after the party....I went to Wonderland with Jenn, Jess, J-Rod, Eric & Craig. It was a blast. Since it was a week day in June the lines were mad short....we walked onto Behemoth. It was great wonderland was so much fun. It was hilarious watching J-Rod trying to pitch game to one of the wonderland staff members. Also I won a Rhino for the weight guesser....I named him Frank; he chills with Charlie the Penguin whom I got at Darien Lake. Our joking at BP Vaughan was lolz. After Wonderland me and J-Rod chilled at BP then I went out for starbucks with Jess and Adrienne it was fun chilling with them, even if J-rod kept texting me the whole time.

I’m On A Boat, A conversation with Dor and Kim and 3 dollar cover summery of Grasshopper. It was fun Beaver and Bulldog and Grasshopper it was a funnite. Me chilling with a bunch of girls (Dorothy, Kim, Kim's Sister, Adrienne, Adrienne's Sister, Anneke, Catlin & Brittany)....can’t get much better than that. Oh ya J-Rod was there to.

The next day I found out I was employee of the month....I got a gift certificate and a coupon for free golf. Oh also I got my picture taken....lol.

So Dorothy was going to be done at BP....so we decided to celebrate her leaving BP....So a whole bunch of us went out to Phil’s.....we partied it....cheap drinks even cheaper cuz of Dorothy’s connections.....but ya fun times....lil dancing, well I danced with only one person. It just took a while for our ride to get there but we ended up with some paparazzi there and well lol....

I was supposed to see Anberlin and Taking Back Sunday but cause of our healthcare system the show got cancelled and I think I’ve already covered this in an other entry.

Chilling with Liv and Keegan came about next...we went mini golfing....liv's idea, not mine I suck at it...we then went to BP and got some food. Brad was supposed to chill with us but he bailed cuz of transformers and then so you think you can dance.....how lame so um.....ya lets just say we decorated his house lol......

I hung out with RJ a few days later and met a bunch of the BP south crew.....Adrien is mad jokes, murph reminded me of Dexter Holland of the offspring and Brit was beautiful....BP south ppl are mad jokes.

Canada Day involved a road trip with Jess....We went to Ontario Place. So Ontario place loses its coolness when you’re older than like 8. But ya the fireworks were awesome. It was so awesome hanging out with Jess. She is always fun to hangout with and it’s nice to have a break from my work friends and chill with her. She is so great to talk to. We still need to hangout more and we need to have the pie and popcorn night.

Ok so I cut my thumb the other day....5 stitches ya its a bit deep but its all good. My stitches come out on Saturday and pics will be up soon.

I hung out in Guelph the other day with Mare, Jenn and Catlin...J-Rod was supposed to come but bailed like always. It was fun.....I made lots of good food the day after. I also may have gotten me and K-Gay a TV for the living room.

That’s a rundown of the past couple months it been good times....there has been all this and more well the more is some visits to Hamilton and lots of work....almost 40 hours a week.

On a side note I have become addicted to Diablo Cody's TV show "The United States of Tara". Its got a weird storyline and ya check it out. Also im pumped for Diablo's new movie "Jennifer's Body" staring Megan Fox. Also I can’t wait for tip pool....money for warped merch and I may be able to afford the new All Time Low CD. But ya so Warped is on Friday. I can’t wait for it, it will be mad good. So many bands in so little time, I so want to get into the warped BBQ.

So coming up in the hopper is Warped Tour, My Birthday, Darien Lake, NYC & Blink 182. This summer is going to be mad good times and will only get better and better, if I don’t go broke.

Also I got an iPod touch its so much fun.

So I love how I sort of wanted to do the real world rip off with this blog but it failed....unlike the new season.....Real World Cancun is so awesome. Joey seems cool....Aiieya or whatever is annoying....brooney(sp?) hilarious he’s totally jokes....CJ will hook up with Johanna and ya. This season is way better than last.

Well I need to sleep this is all I am gonna post......

12/15/08 12:40 am - Oh Snap

This song came on my ipod today well yesterday now but wtf....It totally hit me its so good, i never expected this from kid rock!!!


Amen - Kid Rock


It's another night in hell
Another child won't live to tell
Can you imagine what it's like to starve to death

And as we sit free and well
Another soldier has to yell
Tell my wife and children I love them in his last breath

C'mon now amen, amen, amen

Habitual offenders, scumbag lawyers with agendas
I'll tell you sometimes people I don't know what's worse
Natural disasters or these wolves in sheep clothes pastors
Now God damn it I'm scared to send my children to church
And how can we seek salvation when our nations race relations
Got me feeling guilty of being white
But faith in human nature, our creator and our savior, I'm no saint
But I believe in what is right

C'mon now amen, amen
I said amen, amen

Stop pointing fingers and take some blame,
Pull your future away from the flame
Open up your mind and start to live
Stop short changing your neighbors
Living off hand outs and favors, and maybe
Give a little bit more than you got to give

Simplify, testify, identify, rectify
And if I get high stop being so uptight
It's only human nature and I am not a stranger
So baby won't you stay with me tonight

When a calls away
to break the sound
I'm faden down, I need someone
Oh to be someone
They just sinken down, and holden back
I hold the dawn and run
They don't save a child
Oh, to save a child

It's a matter of salvation from them patience up above,
So don't give up so damn easy on the one you love, one you love
Somewhere you got a brother, sister, friend, grandmother, niece or nephew
Just dying to be with you
You know there's someone out there who unconditionally, religiously, loves you
So just hold on 'cause you know it's true
And if you can take the pain
And you can withstand anything, and one day
Stand hand in hand with the truth

I said amen, I said amen
I said amen, I said amen,

Amen

11/19/08 02:16 am - Music For Airports - blog one

 Last year me and Chris Lear played at coffeehouse as a duo with me singing and him playing guitar. We contemplated on some thoughts for a name but our main idea was already used some friends of mine were in a band and they had that name. It is now like 8 months later and that band has broken up. So with out further ado J.A.D. Records would like to introduce to you: Music For Airports.

Music For Airports is Chris Lear on Guitar and Vocals and Allastair Keddy on Vocals. Recently we have been jamming together to prepare for our first performance tomorrow at Heritage's coffeehouse. We had a bunch of song ideas but we settled on a tracked penned by Chris Carabba in and around 2004. It sounds super tight. Tonight in our practice session we threw up some mics and recorded a rough demo of our cover of this song, This demo may work its way onto the internet or not. If we get the time it may get rerecorded better. Well im dead tired, I saw the new Bond flick tonite. I need sleep...plus i have a long day tomorrow! More posts will be updated through the day. We are set to rock tomorrow night....and bootleg maybe????

10/24/08 03:35 pm - My Open Apology To The Heritage Scene

 The other day in a open forum meeting held on campus I just like any other student in the room had the opportunity to express their opinions on issues about the Heritage Institution. During this meeting a fellow student of mine in the College expressed opinions on interaction with the Seminary. After this point was raised a few other people expressed that that would be good and that the College Student Cabinet assist with these efforts. 

I am currently on this Student Cabinet and i was also on the Cabinet last year. At that moment i expressed my thoughts on the issue and what occurred last year about this. This is what I am writing to you all about with this. I was told by the Student Cabinet President that my remarks were inappropriate and that i had offended people. I have also seen in notes on facebook and other blogs that my remarks had an affect on people. So I am writing this to clarify and explain what I said. I am not apologizing for what i said. I am only apologizing for how i said it. I came across in my remarks with a very rude and forceful tone that i should not have used and I am sorry for that.

The idea and or concept that sparked me of was that it was suggested that we need to get the Seminary out and attending more events run by the College. My position on the Student Cabinet is Activities Director as well as that I organize the Pizza Pop & World Changing People event for the Heritage Missions Committee. Last year, I was in both those positions as well and i took the effort to formally invite the Seminary out to events run by those two committees. I would write formal letters and leave them in their lounge, I would put up posters in their lounge, I would make announcements at their Seminary events. I scheduled events to better fit when they are on campus. Other times they have had events or classes when for example their dinner break have fallen at the right time to line up with events like pizza pop which would provide them with a free meal. After all these efforts and more only one or two seminary students responded by showing up to events. The effort was put forth on our side and we got little response. So for me if I put that much effort into something and get a lack of response its disheartening and I get frustrated. Then I start to wonder do they really want to be involved with us?

But it comes down to it the majority of them are at a different phase of their lives then the majority the College students. A good handful of the College is most likely in the mid to late 20's and younger. Meanwhile the demographic of the Seminary is flipped the other way around, their in their late 20's and up. They have full time jobs and families and they don't have the time for the meaningless activities that I as the Activities Director run and plan. When i run activities I will take suggestions from students, do what has proven to work in the past or what the largest majority of my target audience will enjoy. In this case that target audience is the College students. Not to say that the Seminary would not enjoy all activities run here. For example I think they would enjoy such events as Coffeehouses or Christmas Banquet.

They just don't have the extra time that we as College students have to fit these things into their schedules. But one thing I have learned this year is that they would and don't mind getting to know us on a personal, one on one level. Just like we look out and care for one another as a College student body they want to do the same for us.

So I am sorry for the tone and how I sounded in bringing forth my remarks the other day. Next time you see a Seminary Student go say hey, and ask them how they are doing.

10/22/08 04:24 pm - Do you feel?

"I want to Impact the world but can't do it alone!"
 
I saw that flash across the screen in the latest Rocket Summer Video. It just hit me, Like we all want to impact the world but for everyone of us its different. We all also have different ways that we see as impacting. For some impacting the world is donating to organizations like ONE, TWLOHA, Keep A Breast, Blood Water or Project Red. But for others impacting their world is stepping out of their comfort zone whether or not that is just going down the street or going across the globe. So everyone in some sense or another wants to impact the world, whether its the world around them locally or its the world globally. But when it comes down to it we feel we are inadequate and that we can't do it, or we are afraid that we will fail or we even question doing anything as it may not work out. But as the song says we feel the weight of the world on our shoulders and we feel motivated to do something. But then we convince ourselves that the crap that is happening around us in this world is not our fault or problem so why should we fix it. Which isnt right we should look out for the world around us. Cause indirectly everything affects us. There are many problems in this world and if we do not work together to change the world and impact the people out there and around us. Change and improvement will not occur! We can do things alone! We need each others help! Change is good! We must Impact the world. But sometimes no all the time I cannot, we cannot make that change occur on our own.
 
********************************************
 

I'm thinking about other things I heard about today
All this week and tomorrow
And how these hands can create some better things for bettering
but you see for now I got my own things
I can't help it
I got too many issues I own
So I cannot help I'm afraid, yeah
But keep on preaching, preaching and heal the world
Lip service makes us look great

Do you feel
The weight of the world singing sorrow
Or to you is it just not real
Cause you got your own things
Yeah we all have our things I guess

I guess my mind wanders off
from time to time
Sometimes I convince myself
that all is fine in the world
It's not mine
Why should I
have to try
to fix things I didn't create or contrive

Do you feel
The weight of the world singing sorrow
Or to you is it just not real
Cause you got your own things
Yeah we all have so many things

Have the habits
Had you
Has it been for long
Can you feel the souls behind what's going on

Do you feel
The weight of the world singing sorrow
Or to you is it just not real
Cause you got your own things
Yeah we all have our things

Do you feel
The weight of the world singing sorrow
Or to you is it just not real
Cause you got your things
Yeah we all so many things
And I can get past these things

Ohhh

10/22/08 03:21 pm - A Look Back vol. 2

So in Grade 12 religion i had to write a journal about my thoughts on Jeffrey Dahmer and weather he deserved forgiveness and redemption these were my thoughts:
**************************
The extent of your sin should not decide whether one deserves forgiveness. Everyone is worthy to be able to repent and to be forgiven for their sins. The Bible says that no matter how much you have sinned all you have to do is repent to him and ask for forgiveness and then you are forgiven. The extent of your sin doesn’t matter because to Jesus and God all sins are equal weather it is rape, murder, lying, or theft. Jeffrey Dahmer even though he murdered 17 young men and boys is just as deserving for forgiveness as you and me. Jesus is not judgmental like we as a society when someone asks for forgiveness. With Jesus all you need for forgiveness and repentance is to ask. Well you also have to mean it, you have to be sincere you can’t be just going though the motions. The asking of repentance to God does not need to be public or through a mediator of any sort. It does not need this as it is a private act between the person asking for forgiveness and God. This is all that’s needed as it is God who is the one forgiving you not a priest. You sin or your past sins should not define weather you are forgivable. This brings me back to Jeffrey Dahmer. He committed murder, many murders but that does not mean he is less deserving for forgiveness then I would be if I lied to my parents. We are all deserving of forgiveness no matter what we have done as Jesus died on the cross to save all our sins.

10/22/08 02:45 pm - Summer Continued

 So when i write on this blog I write a few different types of entries. One of those types are entries where i tell pretty much about my life and stuff i have done.  So way back in the summer i wrote an entry about me going to warped tour and what went down there. But there was more of the summer after that which i haven't written about. 

The first weekend, well what ever the long weekend in august was i went to Darien Lake with some people.  Beth, Kala, Shannon, Nate and I all went camping at Darien Lake then also hit up Six Flags or what ever its called to goto Kingdom Bound and to do some rides. We went up on the saturday. Borders are so much fun....LOL....not really. The US border doesnt really like letting five 19 year olds across. But when we did get across we went grocery shopping, set up camp then chilled there. Sunday we went over to the amusement park and did the whole ride thing. Lee, Ryan and Graeme came down from O-Town so i went to say what up to them. Then monday we went back there again after packing up the site, we caught some shows that day. Manic Drive was ok. Skillet was totally pigeon they put on an amazing show. We then drove back which was a good ride that entertained an interesting debate.

I dont remember much of what else happened in the summer before the end. There was work, motorcycle drivers ed. I hung with Dan from work a bit. I chilled with amelia a few times. I went to the movies with her eric and rob. 

Well the last weekend before i headed back to school, i first headed to Toronto. I went with Sarah well formally of Goodness Me, to catch the Paramore show. Wow it was so good!!!!!! The Paper Route opened. They were such a good time. Then Phantom Planet played they seemed to captivate an audience well that only seemed to know one song by them. What is that song you may ask??? well its the theme to a little show called the OC.  They were good. Then Jack's played. They were amazing. It was awesome to see them play. It was the second time i saw them this summer. I was sweet to hear some new stuff. Ok so then paramore headlined! There are one of my favourite live shows now. The energy they had was brilliant.  They played a good chunk of old and new stuff which was good. Even when we left the pit at the front of the stage half way through to get air and water. Then we watched the show from the side of the room we still felt the same intensity. The next day though summer came to a close as i had to head to school.

Even though i was at school summer was not really over as it was T-Week.  T-Week was like being at school but it was chilling and relaxing. It was sweet to see people again like Lee, Ryan, Joc, Megan, Graeme, Jake, Seeney, Essence, Nate, Krystle, and Mir. We had fun that week despite having early morning sessions. We went to Crabbies, mini golf, Timmies, late nite apples to apples. It was fun just to chill with out having to worry about school work.  I even talk and interacted with Tim and Stacey more and i dont even live in rez, But ya all good things come to an end and move in day happened on labour day monday and school began. 

Well O-week did....

10/9/08 02:45 pm - A Look Back vol. 1

Ok so i was looking through my My Documents folder on my laptop and i found some journal/reflections i wrote for my grade 12 religion class. I found them interesting. So here is the first one, "The War That Cannot Be Won". It was written sometime during the spring of 2007. Also im am gonna start to tag my entries now.


A great teacher and educator once said, “How can we fight a war against a noun?” But what is this noun we are fighting against? Oh wait now I remember its Terror.  Ok so we as The West have decided that we are going to fight this war but who are we fighting really or who should be fighting? If you support hard-line republicans in the United States you agree with the media’s bias created by George Bush that Al-Qaeda and the Middle East are the cause to all our terror problems. Or if you agree with the intelligent and well proven facts presented by Dylan Avery, Korey Rowe and Jason Bermas in the 2006 Documentary Loose Change you may think that George Bush is behind all this and is using Al-Qaeda as a scape-goat.  So we don’t know what really happen on September 11th and the west has taken action but now we can look back on our actions specifically the war and decide our opinions on what should happen next.  The war in Afghanistan whether it was right to do or not does not matter as it has improved the Country. There is relative peace there and the country now has a stable government humanitarian aid for most and is all most running smoothly. But I my self would not be too quick to give George W the credit for this success. The stability and improvements that we now see in Afghanistan is there because Canada and the rest of the coalition forces there are still there helping the country. Also in Afghanistan the country wanted change unlike another Middle Eastern country that is currently at war. The war in Iraq on the other had has met with heavy opposition and it is has not been as successful as the war in Afghanistan. Other than the capture of Saddam there has been little to no success in Iraq. There has been a high casualty rate among U.S. soldiers, The Iraqi soldiers that don’t want the Americans in Iraq and high casualty rates among civilians. The war has not made the country anymore stable than it was before the war the country is just as bad now. The country of Iraq could improve though is the troops left as then the Iraqi insurgents would have no targets to bomb which kill civilians. But wait what originally was the reason to go into these countries? To capture the evil anti-American terrorist leaders, So lets go through a check list then Bin Laden, uh still at large, Saddam, check, yes we got one of them, Bush, wait he’s still in the white house. So after 6 years of war we still haven’t caught the man who supposedly orchestrated 9/11. Bin Laden is supposedly dead but he may still be alive. The Americans could go into Iraq in 2003 though and have Saddam caught by 2005 and now the Americans can have all the oil they want.  So it appears that maybe Bush was behind the 9/11 attacks and used then as a reason to go to war in the Middle East only to get more oil. The one problem is that no matter what our opinion his what has occurred in the Middle East has occurred and we must now make the most of it. So until Barack Obama becomes U.S. president and pulls the troops out if Iraq we have to deal with it. No matter how many wars we fight or how many leaders we catch there will always be a threat to the West. Weather the threat is war or terrorists or something else that is what we have to see. But no matter what we do there always will be the treat of terrorists as they cannot be stopped, not by a war against terror, not by tightened border security, not by waging war in their homelands. There will always be that threat.

 Why are we inspired by another person's
courage? Maybe because it gives us
the sweet and genuine surprise of
discovering some trace, at least
of the same courage in ourselves.

9/25/08 12:44 am - Goodtimes

This song came on my ipod and the lines "Got myself worked up over nothing today, All this trash in my head I gotta throw it away" hit  me and I was like thats sorta true I was making a big deal about stuff I really shouldn't have. So ya here are the lyrics: Goodtimes by Tommy Lee


******************************



Put down the magazine and get off the phone
Cuz theres a place I wanna show u and it wont take long
Take a ride
Take a ride

Its lookin like we're getting there
Over here, comin clear
Place that has no rhymes, or times, or crimes
Just good times
Just good times

Take me away
To a place where the good times good times roll
Don't let me stay
In a place where this hate can steal my soul

Got myself worked up over nothing today
All this trash in my head I gotta throw it away
Its alright
Its alright

Its lookin like we're getting there
Over here, comin clear
Place that has no rhymes, or times, or crimes
Just good times
Just good times

Take me away
To a place where the good times good times roll
Don't let me stay
In a place where this hate can steal my soul

This is it, I'm finally here
And all the blurry lines are clear
And everything that I cant see
Seems to make more sense to me
Why the hell cant I just let it go, let it go, yeah

Take me away (away)
where the good times good times roll (roll)
Don't let me stay (stay)
where this hate can steal my soul

Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll (take me away)
Let the good times roll (take me away)
Let the good times roll

9/24/08 04:08 pm - New Surrender

"We will all come to the point in our life where we have to admit that we feel defeated, that something has conquered us. We must change, not because we want to, but because we desperately have to. We can not take life in its current suffocating state, even to admit such desperation shows that we are feeling deserted, wandering the barren desert, a shell of our former selves. It is only up from here, it is impossible to sink any lower into ourselves or our circumstances. But we can be salvaged, a deliverance. No vice can stand, no fix can take. The thorn in the side can be removed, but you have to be willing to admit and surrender. Surrender your habits, your lifestyle, your past, your present, and your future. This is your new surrender. The new surrender."

-Stephen Christian

9/24/08 01:39 am - Don't Judge Me

 Man I hate rumors and preconceived notions. Like how can you barely know someone but already judge them and dislike them.  I have run into this problem and i think its bull.

Ok so the set-up. SIde note this is my first attempt to bridge the gap between the two types of blogs i write, I got the random listing off what i do blogs then i got the deep blogs.  But ya the set-up, its been almost a month of being at school. There is the returning students and the new ones. All of us are trying to get through the mountain of schoolwork and try to maintain a social life. But on top of that try and get to know everyone. In these few weeks we have gotten to know each other a little. We got to know each other enough to know a little about most people alot about others but in general not enough to have opinions on people and not like them.  So that is where I am at.

I was talking to some people today and well I know these people really well and it just hurt me to hear what they said. I was told by them there is a handle off people, mostly new people that find me annoying and dont really like me. The reason why is im loud and a bit obnoxious which is effed as there are other people just like me on campus.  Like come one I just met some of these people a few weeks back so how can they judge me yet? I don't judge them. To be frank I will not sink to their level and start judging them its just bullsh!t. 

I was told during that conversation that i am a bit outgoing and a bit more flirtatious than others around campus so i leave an impact on people more. But like frick people need to realize that not every one if the quit shy kid in the corner that is awkward and doesnt wanna participate in sh!t. So people need to be able to deal with that like who cares if im a extrovert im also introverted some times. On top of that I am a bit emo...No i dont slit my wrists but hey i have feelings, i dont wanna get hurt and im not afraid to show my feeling or post them through a blog or listening to music.  So before you judge me next time think of that and if you keep on judging me I know who are not my real friends and who im not gonna hang out with. 


That is pretty much the end of this blog...well i think it is. I hope so im friggen tired. I will catch you all later. Hey you wanna chill sometime tomorrow (you guys know who you are!)?

9/23/08 12:38 am - Mad World

This song is the sh!t!

**************************************************************

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces 
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression 
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World 
Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday 
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
 
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me 
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World 
Mad World
Enlarging your world 
Mad World

9/22/08 10:47 pm - The Way I See It #21

 People need to see that, far from being an
obstacle, the world's diversity of languages,
religions and traditions is a great treasure,
affording us precious opportunities to
recognize ourselves in others.

9/22/08 01:25 am - Hello there, the angel from my nightmare

Those lyrics were penned by the band blink-182 in the year 2003 but they definitely hold true to today. I am probably taking them out of context but they seem to fit well with my thoughts of some of the people around me.

Let me first back up to how this all began. I was pondering what song lyric to put in my msn name, I have been thinking today about Travis Barker and i was just listening to the last blink-182 album on my way home tonight and I clicked through some lyric website and the opening line to "I Miss You" popped out at me.

The song it self refers to a relationship but that opening line just got me, "Hello there, the angel from my nightmare". What or who is this angel? Well I got thinking and well i go to a bible college. I am taking sound tech courses there so im not always totally about what everybody else is about. For example there is a whole bunch of people there just to find a spouse and I say good for them, but im not all about that. I think its pretty pigeon just to date some one, Im not ready to get married at 19. I dont need the stress of balancing a relationship on top of work and school. So you may be like why is he writing all this like he is not in a relationship. This is where the whole angel from my nightmare thing comes into play.

I find everyone here at heritage is always way to much in other peoples business. Like its nice that you care but its my relationship if im hanging out with someone dont assume sh!t. Quit meddling, Its my life i know better than to hurt people. Im not gonna play mind games. The people i hang out with i care for. But that doesnt mean interfering with parts of their life that have nothing to do with me.

Its like your an angel trying to help but your not really so its like your "the angel from my nightmare, the shadow in the background..."

I want to just be able to hang out with people. Back home in Hamilton I can hang out with girls all the time and no one at all assumes i am interested in them but here i hang out with a girl and we are like practically dating.

So that is what i thought, and if i want advice on stuff ill ask I know who i can talk to about stuff and i know when i need help, so stop being that angel from my nightmare.

9/22/08 12:41 am - You are in our prayers!!

 So i havent written in a while. There is stuff about summer i have yet to write about and there is stuff about school. But i heard this and this was important. So the other day travis barker got in a  plane crash and is serious hurt and in critical condition so ya its totally brutal.  Heres a link to a full article on it: http://altpress.com/news/4746.htm

8/11/08 09:32 pm - Warped Tour

So like almost forever ago i went to Warped it was July 19th! So the show was on a super hot day! I got there at 11 ish i think i met some sweet people in line! Um name check, Ryan warped dude...i have him on FB. So i got into the venue i got some free stuff from the Vans tent.  Then i checked out "From First To Last" They where playing on main stage left. They werent that bad i wouldnt have minded seeing them with sonny as lead vocalist. I then walked around the venue for 20 minutes then returned so "The Academy Is..." play they were good. Andrew of Jack's Mannequin came out and sang with them. Then i ran half way through their set to see Family Force 5. They know how to party it was an awesome set i loved every moment of it. Next  i got my face melted off by The Almighty Norma Jean. They were so amazing live they rank up there with one of the heavyiest and awesomest sets ive seen. After them i saw Max Bemis and the boys of say anything. I love them they are so good! They played wow i can get sexual to which was sweet. Also Travis of the Gym Class Heroes was watching their set from beside the stage.  I then hit up the FF5 signing and got some free monster. After downing a can of monster i saw Against Me! they were sweet. Then after that was Jack's wow i loved thier music and they were awesome live. i wish they were playing the toronto date of the paramore tour. Next came Travie and the gym class heroes, wow they were so good cant wait for the new album all their stuff is so catchy. After GCH the rains poured.  so insted of watching TDWP set i listened to it from underneaths anberlins merch tent. I then battled the rain to see Releint K. It was nice to see them play some old stuff.  After their set i waited to see AVA, AVA was delayed so i only stayed for one song so i could go wait for anberlin and get up close. In the process i had to hear Katy Perry , wow she is crap live. Alensana was at the stage next to where anberlin was to play so i got to hear them while anberlin set up. Anberlin came out there were only gonna play an acoustic set. That set was still amazing and probably my favourite of the day. They played to songs off Never take friendship personal, 2 off cities and one new song. They played A day late, unwinding cable car, breaking, inevitable and paperthin hymn. it was so good. Then after their show i met all the guys except for their bassist and i met their drum tech again who was super cool at warped last summer in houston. So ya the day was freaking awesome i have posted photos and videos on facebook. im so pumped for warped next year.
