Monday off wooo

Spent my day off doing homework for the most part, but it was nice to have the day. I basically have fridays off, and you know how sweet 4-day weekends are.

I spent the weekend gorging in food, playing poker online and live, and I actually got out to the gym. I didn't forget why I had a long weekend either. Remembrance Day came and went, and I have respect for the men and women who fought for where we are today. I thought the Canadian media did a good job to 'promote' Remembrance Day (not a good word).

Anyway, BC and Sask next weekend for the western championship, and my bro is going. So jealous. What else? Christmas break is sooo close, I can already feel it. Sweeet.

'The boulevard is not that bad'

Bittersweet Poetry

The Fence

Caught at the foot of the titanic root,
I realize his power and am subconsciously captivated,
Without movement, the tree lurks like a brute,
Blocking the sun with his arms elongated.

I cant stare too long, for a flaw found falters image,
As I turn I see new beauty: a half dozen mouths grazing,
The wary farmer comforts my presence as he shops in the village,
Behind me the fence, ahead my view amazing.

Wanting what's not, I crave the other three seasons,
Each season stems serially from a hope all too nice,
The white, the colour, the orange are my reasons,
To why the young year's green pleases but won't suffice.

As the grazers migrate to a distant lawn mower my view also turns,
Back to perfection, to the solitary oak,
In the midst of a field which waves like a flame burns,
Goose bumps in this haven cover me like a cloak.

Its always too soon I have to turn back to the fence,
To jostle and bustle and tarry and flurry,
One day the perfect calm will be gone, until whence,
The wind will still make me tear as it makes the tree blurry.

Barely Listening

So I basically slept through my whole week. Felt really nice to recharge after a stressful few days, but I need to get used to that. My next 3 weeks are going to be a blur of school work.

Haven't done a whole lot thats been interesting in the last few days.

So I was half planning on playing for a soccer team in Parksville/Port Alberni. The guys are all my age, and I know most of them. I went out for a practice and basically decided I wasn't going to play. It is so unorganized, and I think I'm too busy anyways.

I've been thinking of trying the marathon thing again. I would start in January, for the May race. I need to put a little more thought into it than I did last year. I'll see some specialists and see what an ideal training regimen would look like.

Oh yeah, one other thing. Blake and I have decided that over the winter break we're gonna get really good at poker. Ha. Riiight.

Just finished my midterm. you ever get the feeling like you wanna just waste the entire day after you get something stressful over with? I actually got class all day, so that won't really work too well. Studying went decent yesterday, and when I eventually got a headache, I was pleasantly surprised that drugs actually worked.

Right now is kind of a weird time, and it's hard to explain why. There's a pile of things that are making life kind of foreign right now. First off, both my roommates are in transition, which is trickling down a little bit on me. I've got new friends and I don't see most of my old(er) associations, which isn't bad.

Anyway, nothings wrong. Things just feel a little different. Now I plan to read other blogs and chill with my ipod until my next class. If you want to read a crazy blog entry, check out http://www.sngicons.com/article.php?story=20071105145402829.

Butterflies And Hurricanes

yay

i'm about to spend the rest of my day in the library with a text book preparing for tomorrow's midterm. I couldn't be more unexcited. So i'm pausing to think of better things.

three weeks and my roommate is having a birthday party at our house, and it always promises to be the party of the year. 4 weeks and I go see tool in victoria. I also want to see the trans siberian orchestra in vancouver, but its the night before tool, and i need to be semi-energized for that.

What else is good? I learned some new stuff on my bass, downloaded some new music, and started 'interview with the vampire'. Thats all. Maybe I'll post an update in 8 hours from the library.

Death Of Seasons

Wow a lot has happened in the last like 3 days. Since thursday I have been on cruise control and I'm now snapping out of it. here's what shook down in the last few...

Thursday a buddy of mine from the soccer team got beaten down at the bar, and spent the night getting his face put back together. Some kind of experience. The Nanaimo night scene is getting better and better.

Friday I went to the driving range and took out the driver for the first time ever. I know its not a bomb, but I can hit the ball around 230 yards, except I can't get it down. The loft I get with my driver is the same as with my 7 iron. which is just silly if you ask me.

Last night I played cards with the 'good old boys'. I walked away up 150$. I wasn't even getting good cards. But it was good to see the guys again, and I really like how graciously they lose. seriously. They don't even care as long as we get to hang out.

Earlier in the week I bought some clothes, played some music with the guys, and went to dinner with amanda and jen, which was pretty fun. Oh, and I found sour dino's. Now all thats left is homework, sunday poker online, and the colts/patriots. and I have tv to watch it. Oh snap. Tom Brady is going to fall hard in about an hour, and I don't even feel bad for the guy.

Except a voice was in my head
It said seize the day, pull the trigger
Drop the blade, and watch the rolling heads'
