That title has nothing to do with this message. Also, this message has nothing to do with the day's previous message, which is why they are separated. Otherwise I wouldnt be blogging twice in one day.
I was cruising "texts from last night" just now and i found...
"You kept telling me to stay away from chevys cause they were the bad transformers and out to get me"
And it reminded me.... I watched "Paranormal Activity" the other day, and it was the same thing. I was upstairs in the bathroom, and I freaked out when I heard footsteps on the stairs. Ironically, it was my friend who walked out of the downstairs bathroom, saw that all the basement lights were off and no one was there, and ran up the stairs cause SHE freaked out. I guess that explains why they were heavier footsteps than usual.
This movie shit is getting too real. For example, I keep my Delorean under 88mph cause I'm scared of what will happen.

I owe Axl Rose an apology (my gnr recap)
I'm sorry Axl. Up until last night, I thought you had been a good frontrunner who benefitted from having an incredible band for years. Yet, without Slash, Izzy, Duff, or Buckethead you still walked in and blew the roof off CUC. (As opposed to Danko Jones, who just blew CUC)
Wow.
Until last night, I had never been to a concert where I knew EVERY SONG the band played. (I even knew the 4 covers they did) All 28 of them. And I could sing like 25 or 26 of them. I for sure had all 28 choruses down... Choruses?...Chori?...Choreese? I knew all the refrains.
November Rain was the most haunting, yet beautiful thing I have ever seen. Hands down the best single-song live performance ever.
Speaking of which, Sebastian Bach is amazing. I left that show a Skid Row fan. I had never heard "18 and life" before, but it's been in my head since showtime. Definitely the second best single performance I've witnessed. (In case anyone cares, my top 5 is rounded out by Shiny Toy Guns' "Coming Home", Offspring's "Half-Truism", and Buckcherry's "Everything")
Incidentally, it was funny seeing Danko Jones ask permission for using the F word, then seeing Sebastian and Axl walk around an go "Fuck this, Fuck that, Fuck everything". (Yes, I'm on first-name basis with those guys. It's a thing we have. I call them by first name, and they call me "Who the fuck are you and why are you in my house? I'm calling the cops"
On a slightly less humorous note, I felt bad for Danko Jones. No, not because he hit the stage at 730 when the tickets said show time was 8 so he played for 1/3 of a stadium. No, not because he possesses the same lyrical prowess as I. It's because he looked so damn awkward and uncomfortable up there. I just wanted to run on stage, give him and hug and tell him everything would be alright. I didn't, because it would only make him more uncomfortable. That, and I didn't feel like being butthumped by security guards.
Anyway, I should wrap this up. I have to go try to get lucky to "I Remember You". Because Sebastian told me to. Come to think of it, would Barry White not be like the best wingman in the world? Think of how much action is scored because of him? But that's another tangent for another day...
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through
There, that should be all the lines I need. I think I know the chorus too. Well, wish me luck!

nananana nanananana.. Spectrum!
So what's in the campus news today? It seems Spectrum is going on at the U of S Engineering Building.
For everyone besides J-roc, I should explain that Spectrum is basically a science fair for university students, engineers to be exact. I felt it my civic duty to volunteer since 2 of my engineering-based classes were cancelled this week (and I missed the third due to illness).
So I hauled chairs and table for 2 hours. Yuck. To make matters worse, Roman walked into the volunteer room and saw me, Jer, 3 guys my size and a bunch of chicks moving chairs around. He says "Jer, I need you to drive vans for me".
My name is Roman. I am an engineering physicist. But I still walk into a room full of labour slaves and remove the biggest one to park vans.
Sigh.
But it was worth it to see the game room. (Dear sister, you may as well stop reading) They have a room dedicated to the history of video games. It was beautiful. There was stuff I had never heard of. I swear I had a mild orgasm when I walked in the room. Especially when the girl in there discussed said topic and the downfall of each system. Hot.
But then as i realized that such fond memories of my childhood are now considered history, a tear came to my eye. I swear it is the most I have ever cried during sex. Well, out of my eyes.
Sigh. I'm 21 and I'm old. I have no idea how people who are nearly 22 feel.

I am disappointed in you.
Dear Canada,
Why?
Why would you do that? Are you purposely trying to embarrass me for losing to that British dude all those years ago? Are you really as butt-hurt as Theo Fleury?
I kid, but seriously... This is the grand stage. This is the Woodstock of junior hockey. Just as every young pothead with a guitar dreams of being Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Kurt Cobain, Slash, ...... sorry, i drifted onto Rolling Stone's 100 greatest guitarists list. what were we talking about?
Oh yeah... This is the big deal. Just as every homeless guy sleepin under the bridge wishes to grow up to be Axl Rose, just as every greasy, sweaty Italian yearns to be Roberto Luongo, every young canadian hockey player dreams of the world juniors.
Well not anymore, Canada. You have fucked up big time. I cannot even begin to explain how disappointed I was. Look at the skill we have across this country, and THIS is the best you can do?
"Eh-O-Canada-Go?" Go fuck yourself. We have some of the most brilliant lyrical minds in the world, and we think up crap like this? It's not even original. Here's an idea... If you're gonna steal a song to suit yourself by replacing "Let's" with "Canada", let's make it a canadian song. And the last time I checked, THE CLASH WERE BRITISH. That's London, England, not London, Ontario, stupid. What message are we sending? "We are so great that we need to steal our cheer from a country that ranks 25th in the sport we're cheering for" ?? (yes, i checked. btw, Russia is ranked number one. *gives the iihf the finger*)
Get your shit together by February. You disgust me.
ps, does Luongo put baby oil in his hair before every game, or is he just really, really greasy?
pss, *gives pepsi the finger*
