Seems like all I have left in the online world is my Flickr account and this LJ. But I've been bad and haven't taken any pictures, so Flickr is kinda like a ghost. This LJ is also slowly but surely fading. And I like it. It is so calm on my end of the internets. For someone who spends their entire day on the computer, I find myself really enjoying not being on all those sites.

I certainly browse and look at some things people share.. but as far as everything else goes.. meh.
I think I'm finally over the interweb.

*waves*

Bes is a bit sick so I had to take him into the shop yesterday. Until I get him back, they gave me a courtesy car...

I feel... like I've quit Virgin and went back to working at Burger King
like I'm sitting on a lawn mower, trying to cut down grass in Versailles but all I have are 5 minutes
like the car I'm driving is a face only a mother can love

It's amazing how fast you get used to the good things. This car is old, the windshield is cracked, the windows roll down with your HAND, the mirrors tremble anytime I go over an ant, the seat is so low, I feel like I'm sitting in a really shitty tank, BUT surprisingly it runs really well. The breaks are hard, but it starts and stops, it speeds up quite ok. So yeah, I mean it could be worse, I could be taking the .... BUS *gasp*

At the end of the day, it's just a car to get me from point A to point B with a via point in between, but argh, I miss Bes.

Both my soccer teams are killing it this season.

Check it out, because I want you all to feaaaar meeeee. No, not really. But!
Looke.





Betty Ford is the original team I've been playing with since the winter season, when we played at the BMO field. Then I joined Nations United which includes 3 of my coworkers.

Man, I LOVE soccer. Last night we played with Nations United, in the rain, soaking wet, aaaaah amazing. And of course we won. 3-0.
I hope we can keep up our number 1 rank till the end of the season with both teams. Then it's playoffs time! Which I won't be there for ha. But it's ok. Since I'm in the same league for both teams, they may actually end up facing each other in the playoffs. Ooooops. And I would not want to choose between the two. So that is why it is ok that I won't be there.

Heh. Seriously. Soccer = the best.

Вчера приехал Ляпис и убил меня.

Просто такой кайф ааааааа. Во время концерта наружу вылезло все что можно и не можно.
Я до сих пор в приятном шоке.

Чуть-чуть фото и видео с концерта чуть позже скину.

ааааааа.

UPD: Фото тут. Видео потом....

Yesterday was so nice and I was so mellow that I ended up walking that distance you see on the map. Doesn't look like much but it was 8.7km.
Which is also not too bad, took me just under 2 hours.
One lesson learned though - converse are not the best shoes for walking. Me got blisters on me toes! Gross, I know you wanted to know. So today I kinda have to sacrifice rock climbing because it hurts and I climb with no socks and yeah.. I kinda like my toes, so I'll let them heal.

Next week soccer starts! I play on 2 teams this season. On Tuesday and Wednesday. It's going to be the best spring/summer ever. And now I'm moving rock climbing over to Thursday, so that's like 3 days of activities! Woot.

I'm still trying to realize my last year's goal which was to wake up before work and go biking. Let's see how that pans out this time, ha.

It's (a)live, it's (a)live!

It's finally done. Check it out.
This is what I've worked on for the last little while. :)

Also, I bought the iPod Touch last night. It is legendary!
Today is a good day.
*sigh of relief*

Ok. I'm thinking of getting an iPod Touch.
It's so horrible. I don't usually like iPods. But my handmedown one is crapping out. To the point where I'm actually annoyed every time I pick it up.

I know I could get something cheaper and probably smaller than a Touch...buuuuut I somehow find myself wanting to apply my finger tips on it. Ha.
No but seriously, the only shitty thing is in the winter you'd probably have to take your gloves off and it may be too cold. I dunno, I'm just looking for dumb reasons.

Should I get it?
Stay tuned for the revealing of my project. T minus some hours.

Hwow. My eyes need a "rest". You can only walk around the office so many times before every window you pass by reminds you of the computer screen and you nervously search for the mouse, thinking, shit shit did I do a Mouse.hide(); and why is that cloud not parallel to the last window and shit, shit how come the text isn't coming through, excuse me, man gotta remember to coordinate character paths. And well then you realize you may as well be back sitting and doing your thing at your computer where you can actually do all those things and your brain stops freaking out.
But if only things were that simple, because even though brain is happy, eyes are falling out of sockets, with traces of napalm behind them.
Jeez.

But man did I ever pick the right career path. These last 3 days I got the chance (well more like I found the event, bought tickets and went to it, so it's not really like I'm lucky I got to go, I'm lucky I'm resoursful?) to attend this beautiful meet up of the most amazing people I have met so far.
Yep the FITC Design and Techology Event which I know I've mentioned a bunch of times. Holy hell, was that ever amazing.
I want to do so much.
I feel so inspirational.
I feel like I know nothing about anything that I do.
I want to learn so much.
Wow.
It is amazing the things that people in my industry do and the amount of fun they have.
I think I found my life goal.

But.
For now it's back to fighting with my eyeballs and consuming energy drinks.
I'll show what the maddness is all about later.

Let's talk about cravings for a second.

As I've read somewhere and giggled, a craving is just a thought on steroids.

My question: you made a decision and you know it is the right one. However, oh yes, however, you crave the other side of the decision. You so know it's not right for you, but still. So how long can a person fight a craving? And if you break down and finally cave in, is it pathetic?
Or is it easier to just get chocolate and forget about it?


Off topic, good god is it ever great to be back in the world of the living. Being sick for the last week (AGAIN), fighting infected eyes and sore throat and still coming into work and being functional is not something I would wish upon the worst of my enemy. It's like fighting a zombie, only the zombie is you and the only way is to choke yourself. Except your arms have snapped off due to tissue decomposition and you have nothing to choke yourself with. Ha, oh man too much zombie book reading for me. Speaking of book, though, Chuck Palahniuk's new one is due out in May! Glee.

On topic, so yeah, that craving? Whatcha think.

Here's for some randomness.

Word of the day - stupid.
Thought of the day - got to stop having drinks midweek.
Mission of the day - don't be an idiot.

Now for some more randomness.

( Iggie'd be proud )( Iggie'd be proud )( Iggie'd be proud )

I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this before, but it's been so long I almost forgot about it myself.

There is going to be this event on Saturday and I am volunteering at it! (more details here) I know I should actually be the one participating but at the time of signing up and even now, I'm still sure that I'm not ready for that kind of pressure. Volunteering may also be a bit hectic since I've never done anything like this before! Here's to me not screwing up and letting people in that aren't on the list. Haha just kidding, I can read.

Anyways, it's going to be pretty interesting and fun from what I hear. And I get to hang around my own creative kind, probably even meet some fancy people, how cool is that!?
That's what I thought.

Ok let me start by saying that I am not a fan of Britney.

Now let me tell you how her concert went. It was....


( wait for it.... wait for it... )

It was the 11th of March, 11pm at night and I was standing on the platform number 11.
Ha ok just kidding, but here's an interesting story for you involving things that can't always be explained with just one sentence.

( Insane!... In the membrane! )

Another ёпт moment™.

Как же сложно что-то делать когда на уме абсолютно другая фигня. Укол цементом в голову бы сейчас.
