i am afraid i have not yet figured out how to use the matrix. in that case does any one have a flux-capacitor i can borrow? i'll just go back in time and help my self into the pants normally, so as to avoid the embarassing topic of "Andrew, how did you put this hole in your cords?"

hell yeah! I am the best!

Life fucking rules!

OK, I will get the big crazy happy thing out of the way:

Today my daddy and I went to the travel agent and chatted with her and went over my itinerary and then the time came and he pulled out his plastic and the deal was sealed.

I am now fully booked and committed to going to Europe.

I have written up my "Student Initiative Fund Proposal" for Queen's, I am going to take it into the principals office tomorrow.
I wonder if my school will actually be willing to send me to Europe.. it's a hope.

I had to write up this big long proposal detailing why exactly Queen's should give me any money. I think I was pretty convincing. I went into alot of detail explaining what footbag is and my involvment in the sport. In the process I found myself amazed at how impressive all the things I had done looked when lumped into one brag-sheet. It made me feel really proud of myself.

Hey, think about how the word "wow" is said.. then think about how you would say "waw"... it's wierd...

Anyways, today I woke up real early and went and wrote my final exam of summer school! hurrah! that's over! No more greek mythology! Not that it sucked.. it just kinda sucked sometimes. I would never remember to go to bed early forgetting that I had class at 9 AM the next day and so it was always a battle to keep my eyelids from drooping.

I don't think I actually earned a passing grade so I wrote something on the back of my final exam explaining that I had learned a great deal from the class (true) but that I found the method of examination (only multiple choice) to be a big departure from what I am normally used to (also true) in my mechanical engineering classes.

By that I meant that in mech we actually have to solve problems and do *real* things because mech is based on reality and not just answering confusing ass multiple choice questions about stupid wishy washery made up by dumbasses way back when humans knew nothing.

David Cross pointed out something that I thought was hilarious. He reminds us in one of his comedy acts that the bible was written way way back when people were even dumber than we are now! That's an important thing to remember.

My greek mythology class confirmed what I had suspected, religion is the dumbest shit ever and everyone involved is fucking retarded.

I went to the hospital the other day. I was super paranoid that the unexplainable pain in my chest that had been sitting ambiently for a few weeks was cancer. I spent a whole afternoon sitting in the waiting room just to talk to a doctor.
I got to wear a hospital bracelet and one of those robes with the open back.
I felt wierd going to the emergency room, but it was already past closing time for the clinics and I was driving myself insane with fear.
The night prior I was kept up for hours thinking about it. I think those negative thoughts can only harbor more bad. I am keeping positive, I know I don't have cancer, it doesn't fit with the fairy tale I plan on living.

The doctors told me that they don't think it's cancer and that my heart is frigging awesome and that it is probably a muscular thing.

I think I traced the pain back to it's source. I am pretty sure it is all a derivative of poor computing posture! My mouse is in a rather akward spot and thus I am forced to bend to reach it and I thiiiiiiiink thats the cause. So for now I am being careful to not stress it and hope that it goes away.

Vida called me from BC tonight!
She's alive and happy and busy and coming home saturday! yipee!

I tried to play some footbag tonight but I kinda sucked.

Nothing was really working...
I drilled lots of components though. I find that even if I can't hit the drills I am trying, the act of trying is still enough to ensure some degree of progression on that component.

The two drills I spent the most time on tonight were osis>osis>drifter rpt and osis>drifter>drifter rpt. Some time into drilling those one of my knees started to not like the feeling of drifters anymore. It was the same part of my knee that doesn't like whirls sometimes, so I stayed away from them too.

I ended my session with DATW-out BSOS and then DATW-in BSOS. That felt like an accomplishment I could end on.

oh yeah, and the last session I had I hit smasher x 3, pdx whirl x 7 and merkon>pixie clip rpt and dim>rip>step leg rpt.

I felt un-coordinated today.. tomorrow is another day. I will crush.

Check it, Ive gone shoe fucking crazy!!

I am currently bidding on (and winning):

I first saw these last summer in England and all the guys wearing them looked so goddam cocky. I fucking love them!
They're strictly freestyle football boots and nothing else.. oh yes, and they are for looking cocky, really fucking cocky.

I am also winning these size sevens!! yessssssss

I realised that I had to part ways with my new beloved climacools. I had a million billion offers for them and I ultimately I let derrick buy them off me since he's in the militia and that gives him precedence. also.. I want his game to explode all in my face and shit. Derrick is crazy good. hehe, I was showing my dad the derrick ogden special video I made and telling him about how derrick has all this natural skill and blah blah and just as I was saying that derrick walked in out of total nowhere and said "Yeah, that's me!" and introduced himself to my dad.

I am alllllso winning one other pair of climacools, they are a pair of ladies blue-ish size 9's, I hope I lose since I kinda really want those white ones now.

shoes!

My crazy soccer fanatic best friend got these same shoes recently. She says they take a long time to break in, but that they are fucking amazing. She also says you should break them in the first month or 2 by just walking around your house with them, before you try to play with them.

Never walk onto the field with virgin boots. You'll get smashed to death.

Oh wouldnt you like to know?

I am gonna go and play freestyle football RIGHT NOW

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 17 Jun 2005 23:47

I didn't win those cocky nike boots.

I guess it wasn't meant to be, if it was I woulda won, right?
It's for the best, clearly, I don't have enough money to be going around buying thirty pairs of shoes every day.

I got real mad at myself today when I realised I accidentally wasted the whole fucking day.

I totally thought it was saturday and not friday and so I didn't take in my funding proposal to the principal.

Fucking idiot!
I make life so hard for myself sometimes.

Ive cut back my weed smoking to basically nothing because I am so scared of cancer.

I think I needed that episode of fear to occur for me to realise that I am killing myself with my excessive weed smoking.

I really don't think that there is much wrong with smoking occasionally, but that isn't what I had been doing for the last couple years. Ive been smoking chronically for the last year or so, as in getting high many times a day.

That is such a retarded waste of my life and time and money.
Smoking that frequently means that each time you smoke you hardly get anything out of it and all you do is kill yourself a little and put on your "weed helmet" (best term ever, thanks Vida) that just clouds thoughts.

I hate feeling so compelled to get high.

I don't want to waste my life anymore.

I need a job so bad, I would love to be working full time, I don't think about weed at all when I am doing stuff. I just have SO MUCH free time.

Free time is my bane.

I have so much free time that I utterly waste.

I just sit here getting high over and over not accomplishing anything and I feel so stupid about the act the whole time I am doing it. Which is to say, basically always.

I'm not sure how I can have so much perspective on the situation and then still thrust myself into the stupid loop again.

Sigh.. pass the bowl!

zachatree · Post by **zachatree** » 18 Jun 2005 09:44

ya know tom i hear ya. i have knowen an felt that it would be for the best if i just layed off of it, but as all bad habbits... addictions, i find my self again an again geting stoned in my room. only way i could ever totaly clean my self is to get rit of all my parafeniliya an get new friends witch at times seems like a really good idea. but who stops talking to all there friends an finds new ones. its just not that easy. so as long as i get calls i am for ever doomed.

pass it this way while your at it tom.

EVERYTHING GIVES YOU CANCER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, its 7:19 and I have smoked NOTHING today!!
yippee!!

I busied myself doing fun stuff all day and I feel great!

I even got offered a joint once and a bowl later and i turned them both down! go me!

That being said, I feel accomplished today, I am gonna go get high!

I think this is how I am going to operate for a while. I much prefer the clear head for stuff-doing, there is nothing wrong with scoring a little buzz occasionally, I just have to learn to make weed smoking more of a treat.. and not an ever present annoying sidekick.

So I was just sitting here and then this MASSIVE ant came crawling across my desk right in front of me!

I was startled but I let the feller keep on walking on past my monitor and off to somewhere behind.

I figured that was the last I'd see of him but then he came back across my desk and this time he was pushin' my limits.

I reasoned with him and let him know that I was going to help him to somewhere safer and more apt for him.

I got a paper towel and tried to coax him onto it, he was a BIG mother fucker!

It took me several failed attempts and the dude fell to the ground so many times but I eventually got him into a little bundle of paper towel gently and then carried him down to street level and released him into the "wild". I guess just throwing him out on the streets was kinda harsh of me. I hope he gets in with a good gang or something and that he didn't get stepped on like four seconds after I proudly trotted back upstairs thinking a good deed had been done.

Oh well, it was just a fucking ant, what do I care?

PS I do care.. it all counts, a life is a life is a life.. but like.. he musta been a total titwad or a serial killer in his last life because being a giant ant sucks compared to being anybody human. Pfft, like to see HIM attain enlightenment.

PPS I just made up the word titwad. I'm not even sure what that could possibly mean.

i don't remember what i was watching, but it was a take off of a Dawn Dish Soap commercial. you know the one where they was the duck is covered in oil and they clean it up and while they do this they say "dawn soap is the only on gentile enough for blah blah blah". then they release the duck back into the wilderness. end of commercial. well i saw a take off of it, and when the duck is rereleased into the wild, it flies out of the cage and rises about 8 feet then you hear "BANG" and some hill billy says "i got that mother fucker!" and the wild life conservation officers all look at each other helplessly and then one says "i just wasted 8 hours."

sorry for the hijack, but your ant story really reminded me of it...

I went out kicking my football around for fun and I wound up going to the Business Depot parking lot. I was hammering it agains the huge broad front face wall for a while having a great time when suddenly and tragically one enthusiastic thump sent my football onto the roof!!

I walked around the building checking possible routes and I have determined that if I climb up onto the roof of a house next to it I can get across to it's roof and ultimately work my way around the huge Business Depot roof to where my ball went up.

I will make this mission tonight!

I'll let you know how it goes.

If I fail.. well.. that football shit was fun while it lasted.
