You know that I could use somebody like you. [10:11 AM]
I know, I haven't blogged since timeee. I've thought about it, but when it came down to it I haven't all that much to talk about. I hate it when I've got nothing to do, it's always like the calm before a storm. But if that's what it takes for the storm to hit, then I'm down with being bored.
I don't have much to say but I've been listening to a few songs lately. 'Use Somebody' by Kings of Leon, and 'Before The Storm', a duet by Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers. Fuck yeah, they're both really good songs. Listen to them if you have the time. Anyway, I'm going to Kitchener on Friday with the fam. The WHOLE fam. Hopefully it'll be fun, it usually always is. I'll talk more about it on Monday when I get back.

Two goldfish in a tank [10:00 AM]
I was going to make a blog last night, but I was really tired when I got home so I decided to put it off until, well, right now. My Wednesday/Thursday/Friday were a bit more interesting than my Monday/Tuesday, at least for me they were.
Wednesday I did my usual cotillion thing, but I walked around downtown before that. I went to the music store where I bought my guitar, hoping to find a keyboard to buy. With the help of the dude there, I found a really nice one that was apparently a really good keyboard for its price. Then he told me to search it up online and check it out, which I did. And, not surprisingly, the dude was right. There were a BUNCH of reviews for the thing, all of them saying it was an awesome keyboard for beginners. It's like 800 dollars. Unfortunately I only had 700 dollars. Well that was because I spent a bit of money on a shirt and a sweater. Both of which were pretty cool, lol. I think I might be going back there after my next pay though. I really wanna learn how to play piano, God knows why though. Anyway, cotillion practice was the usual. I had no idea what was happening, pretty much just blindly following what the instructor and my partner would tell me. I went home and me and my two cousins went out to McDonalds, then to Russel's place to pick up a tshirt. One of my cousins ended up leaving his ipod there, lol.
Thursday, I worked in the morning. At 10am. It was ridiculous, I don't remember too much of it. I was half asleep man, I swear. I got home at like 2 or something, slept until 5:30-6. My sleeping schedule is sooo messed up, haha. After that was nothing too big, until about 930 when I got a text from Jeff saying I could go over to work to get some cake. I was so excited, and for good reason: it was free cake. So I got dressed, ran myself over to work and got me some of that cake. The cake was to celebrate Ashley's birthday, which was on the 16th. Happy birthday! Anyway, after the cake I ended up going back to Russel's with Jeff and Jordan to pick up my cousin's ipod. Hopped a fence back home, and that was the end of Thursday.
Friday I went out with Christine and Tiffelle. We watched My Sister's Keeper, and they were determined to see me cry. I didn't cry. BUT, it was a really sad movie and to be honest if I were alone I probably would've teared up. We walked around a little after, then I had to leave to go to my cousin's 6th birthday. My ttc ride home was horrible. It was pouring like no tomorrow, and the ttc driver kicked everyone out at one point, making us wait for the next one. What a douche. Anyway, I got home and went to sauga. There I ate food. Yeah. It was good. My sister, Junior, Katie, Katie's friend Maryann and I went to Square One for a little bit, just to harass my cousin Kristina at work. Haha, she got in trouble. Then we went back to the party and sang karaoke for the next like, 4 hours or something. Got home, went to sleep. Woke up, and here I am. I have to leave for work in about an hour. So I'm going to eat, shower and get out of here.
I'm gonna end it with a joke I heard the other day. Okay. So, two goldfish are in a tank and one goldfish says to the other, "You shoot, I'll drive."

Ohh, everyone believes. [10:26 PM]
Title is courtesy of the John Mayer song that I've been listening to for the past few days, 'Belief'. Look at all the time I've missed NOT listening to this guy's amazing music. Anyway. When was the last time I blogged? Sunday. Today is Wednesday, well to me it's stil Tuesday night but technically it's Wednesday already. What have I done during these two days? Well I watched Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I thought it was okay, but my inner 7 year old was begging for more super awesome flashy magic fights. Seriously, the only cool (and cool is being used relatively) magic scene in the whole movie was when Dumbledore used Fire Spin on all the zombie things. High five if you saw the Pokemon reference, slap in the head if you didn't (And a second slap in the head if your eyes went back up to check). Anyway, that was pretty much my Monday. I got to see Alex for the first time since his return to Toronto. He got me a jabbawockeez shirt, it's pretty awesome. I went to watch the movie with him. And Peter N, and Reena and Reena's boyfriend. THAT was pretty much my Monday. Tuesday was completely useless. I didn't do ANYTHING today, seriously lol. So, how can I fill up this blog? I can use it to talk about the games I play... Because that's interesting. Okay I'll start. I actually don't play as much games as I used to play back in high school. You know, because my high school years were so long ago. But anyway, right now I'm sharing my attention between three games, all of which are online. First is Warcraft III. Warcraft III is a RTS (real-time strategy) kind of thing, where you make buildings that make stuff so you can kill people. If you've ever heard of Starcraft, then you're looking at pretty much the same concept. Most of my Warcraft time is spent playing dota though. I've been playing dota since October. Of 10th grade. You can imagine how awesome I am at that game. Because I AM awesome at that game. Second is Maplestory. Yeah, you read right. I started playing Maplestory during the summer before 9th grade. That's a HELL of a long time. Well, not as long as Warcraft III, which I've been playing since it came out like 5 years ago or something. Anyway, yeah I don't play Maplestory too much, but enough to say that I play regularly. I made a gunslinger when I restarted back in May, then I stopped after a week or two. Last week I started again, and he's level 41 now. Yeup. I only play when I'm pqing with my friend Reena, lol. She does the stuff I'm too lazy to do, like find people to fight and stuff. I've known Reena since I started playing Maplestory, lol. She was 10 when I met her, lmao. No pedo though, I was only 13 and I didn't really care so much that she was a 10 year old girl. That stuff doesn't really matter when you're playing a friggin game. Last game is World of Warcraft. DUNDUNDUNDUNNNNN. Yeah, I've been on and off with this game. My subscription ends on the 24th, lol. It's cool though, it's my least played game. I started a Blood Elf Paladin in Smolderthorn, he's only level 6 though. My highest leveled character was an Orc warrior, he was 28. He was pretty awesome, but I have this obsession with making new characters so yeah. That's about it. You're an idiot if you actually read that all. Thanks though. :)

Slow day, k. [11:47 PM]
I went to work today, it was slow and uneventful. Before that I went to the dentist, he tightened my braces again. It hurts like a bitch, but not as bad as the last two tightenings. Anyway, I don't have too much to say. I was listening to 'Notice Me' by the Adrian William Project today. It's a REALLY good song, check it out if you have the time. Also, I found myself listening to John Mayer's 'My Stupid Mouth'. Oh, the relationships that your songs have to my life, John Mayer. It's unbelievable. Anyway, I'm pretty much done. Eating tuna and crackers at almost 3 in the morning. Seriously, it doesn't even matter how tight these braces are, nothing's getting in my way if I'm hungry at 3-4 in the morning. Nothing.

FREEZE FRAME HIGH FIVE! [7:46 PM]
Damn, today and yesterday were two of the biggest wastes of days I've had this whole month. What did I do on Friday? Well, I went to work. Actually, work wasn't too bad. I'm surprised I didn't feel like writing about it haha. OH, right. I remember now. I was at Knight Club on Friday. Seriously, people say that the Jewellery booth is lonely, but that's because they don't know about Knight Club. Seriously, it's a million miles away from everyone. It sucks. But that's okay, because there were some pretty hot girls watching the show that day. Pretty awesome. I was working with some pretty sweet people too, so when I left Knight Club I was pretty excited. Today, I woke up at 1 in the afternoon. I stayed home pretty much the whole day, only went out to grab some food. I saw a girl I knew on my way back; she either kicked or grabbed my ass as she walked by. I don't really know which one it was, lol. I heard she moved into an apartment with another person I know, but I didn't get to ask her about it. She seemed sort of in a rush, lol. That or she just wanted to kick my ass then run. Meh. I finished watching the first season of How I Met Your Mother today! Well, I had already watched it before, but my cousin let me borrow it in exchange for the first season of The Big Bang Theory. Man, I love How I Met Your Mother. My favorite episode of the season would probably have to be the episode where Robin decides to bro out with Barney, based solely on the scene with the freeze frame high five. Freakin. Awesome. WOOOOOWWWWWWWWW.. I just got a text message from my manager asking me to come in tomorrow. So I'm going to call my parents, who are STILL out.. hoping that we're doing something tomorrow. See, my tragic flaw as a person is that I'm extremely honorable. I can lie like a champion, I'm naturally gifted like that, but I never end up doing so. Because that's just how I am. So, if my parents say we're not doing anythi HOLY CRAP! I just remembered I have a dentist appointment tomorrow! AWESOME! I'm probably going to show up at work anyway, but we'll see. Yeah, okay I've got nothing better to do, so I guess I'm working tomorrow. Hooray. Anyway, I heard a bunch of new songs today. Akon made a cover of James Morrison's 'You Make It Real', and it was AWESOME!
[click here for the video] I'm REALLY liking 'Neon' by John Mayer. Seriously, buying those albums was one of my best ideas this summer. Oh, and my friend Kevin is back from the Philippines! Pretty awesome, yeah. I've known Kevin since timeeeeeee, he's my boy stilll. Yeah, and that's about it for today. Thanks for reading.

Yeah, I really had nothing better to do. [8:23 PM]
I work at Medieval Times. I sell things to people. Today I sold swords. Well, I didn't actually sell a sword today, but I was only 22 dollars away from reaching my 400 dollar goal. Wudddddup. I was alone at swords today, too. Work started at 11:30, and it killed me to get up that early because I had fallen asleep the night before at about 3am. This was, of course, despite my deep desire to fall asleep at 1. But yeah, work was cool. I probably would've made that 400 dollar goal if I wasn't so generous to the customers. But I had to! You needed to see the looks on their faces man. One girl was 3 dollars short of her 20 dollar item, and it pretty much broke her heart! And the other lady was buying stuff that added up to 150... OH, and I gave a 30 dollar letter opener to another till because the lady wanted to pay for everything at once. So technically I made my goal. Which means I win. Also, our GM was dressed up as the prince. Haha, it was so cool. Me and Jordan were just imagining them making a Medieval Times calender.. Maury said that he was, and I quote, "The July Boy". Hahaha, awesome.
Anyway, after work, the rest of my day was pretty waste. My friend Reena got me to download Maplestory again... so that was a few hours well wasted. If you've never played it, you should try it. Just to see how repetitive it gets, and you KNOW it's boring but you can't stop. I spent a good half hour just hitting the V key on my laptop... It's the button I use to beat the crap out of virtual monsters, hell yeah. So yeah, did that for a while. Then I stopped. I then started to rewatch the first season of How I Met Your Mother. This show is awesome, if you've never seen it before then you NEED to start. The 5th season starts in September. If you do watch the series, I just finished the episode where Ted gets drunk and wakes up with a random chick and a pineapple. Haha.
As I'm typing this, I'm listening to a John Mayer song, 'Dreaming With A Broken Heart'. My God, this song is amazing. The melody, the lyrics, it's all just so chill and relaxing. Try and listen to it, I can guarantee you won't regret it.

My Guitar; old buddy, old pal. Oh, and cotillion. [8:23 PM]
I went to the mall today! Got two cds and a shirt. Both cds were John Mayer cds, lol. I think I might have a mancrush. But before you read that in a ridiculously homo way, urbandictionary the word mancrush. Seriously, the music this man makes is amazing. I bought 'Room For Squares' and 'Continuum'. They're actually pretty old albums, but I never used to listen to his music so when the opportunity came I had to grab it. It's amazing what a single acoustic guitar can do you to your opinions of good music. I mean, before I got this guitar of mine the only songs that I listened to with any actual instruments were songs by Gabe Bondoc and Passion. Those two are awesome, personally I like Gabe Bondoc more than Passion. Go to my youtube account, listen to 'Dorm Room' by Gabe Bondoc (It's an original song by him, and it's favorited) and tell me that song isn't awesome. Go ahead, I dare you. Anyway, as I was saying, there were NO songs with real instruments on my iPod before I got this guitar. I got so much of a deeper appreciation for music through this guitar, it's insane. I still listen to the songs that I used to, awesome songs like 'Homecoming' by Kanye West, 'Sexy Love' by Ne-Yo, 'Go' by Common... songs like that, of that genre. But over this year, I've learned to love totally different songs, and it's really cool. Check out the combination of artists that I've grown to love over the 10 months that I've had this guitar:
John Mayer, Drake, Kanye West, Eminem,
James Morrison,
Jason Mraz,
Britney Spears,
Coldplay,
Dashboard Confessional, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, T-Pain, John Legend,
Maroon 5,
My American Heart &
Taylor Swift. Honestly, that girl is amazing. I've gone from listening to Rap, Hip-Hop and R&B to Rap, Hip-Hop, R&B, Rock, Alternative, Blues, Pop and Country. I even occasionaly find myself listening to classical music. I don't know if it's just my ears maturing or something, but I think it's my guitar. Old buddy, old pal; you done good. Real good.I went to cotillion practice today. Let me start by explaining what a cotillion is. It's pretty much a debutants entourage, we're like her crack team of specialists that's shes especially chosen because we're awesome and she loves us. Now let me tell you what a debutant is; it's a girl who's celebrating her debut. Now, a debut. Well, a filipino debut. They're much different from a regular debut. I don't know what a regular one is, but a filipino one marks a filipino girl's coming of age. She has one on her 18th birthday, and there's a huge party and a performance by her cotillion. That's us, and by us I mean me and the rest of the cotillion. There are 8 pairs, and the debutant and her escort make 9. So yeah, we meet every Wednesday and practice dances. We've had maybe 3 practices now? And in this time we've learned, and I say learned loosely, how to do the Waltz and the Cha-Cha. Both are alright, I guess. The people are cool, I've never met a majority of them before these practices. I hit a girl in the head today, totally by accident. Well, she ran into my elbow as she was coming back up from a dip. I said sorry though, and she didn't seem hurt lol. So that's good.
Anyway, that's about it for today. Thanks for reading.

Bruno, and 14 children. [10:25 PM]
A day that started with me wanting to murder it for being created ended in a pretty cool way. Yeah, my morning was pretty stupid. I wanted to to be Tuesday REALLY fast, because I actually have stuff to do on that day. I ended up watching Bruno at 10:45pm with Kazedays, Mervin, Arthur, Peter, Allen and Christine. I'm not gonna lie, I thought it was pretty awesome. I was laughing for a good portion of it. Some scenes were sort of awkward, some of them were just disgusting, but overall it was pretty cool. The bus ride home was pretty awesome too, ahaha. Oh, silly Mervin and his dream of having 14 children. Preferably all at the same time.
Yeah, I've really got nothing else to say. But it's Tuesday now, and I'm pretty excited for that. Yep, today I finally meet my daughter, Anton Jr.
