"...so how was your Friday?"

Thank goodness for Fridays. Like seriously, imagine a week without a Friday. Friday is a day that's like not the end of the week nor is it the beginning or middle. It's the day that's usually last day of school/work of the week for most people and it pretty much the day that kicks off the weekend. Some like myself consider it a weekend to say the least, like come on...SUNDAY? What is there to do on a SUNDAY? SUNDAY is like the most boring day of the week for me not to mention it's the day before I return back to school.

"...so how was you Friday?", oh me? Well first off, thanks for asking. My Friday was pretty good and my Friday night was memorable to say the least. So during the day I had a class at 11am until 12pm. Afterward I met up with two of my friends and we had Korean BBQ for lunch.

Yum... all you can eat. Cheap and fulfilling food at its finest.

So when lunch was done, we took a stroll down Queen Street West. I never got to really appreciate how nice Toronto is (I think i mentioned this a previous post). Here's what I mean...



Ahhh, gotta love T.O.

Later on that day, we decided to go home. So on the way to Spadina station, there seemed to be ANOTHER POWER FAILURE. That's two days back an forth for TTC. But luckily it did not affect the subway trains, just the street car. That would've been hectic. Then after finally getting to Finch station, there was another incident that cause further delay on the busses, but this time it affected the YRT. The good ol' (old) people at VIVA were having a strike and protesting and tried to make a statment. This caused trouble for the busses trying to get in and out of the bus loop and ultimately caused yet another long set of long line ups.



When I finally got home, I went straight to the basement to jam with my bass guitar for bit. During the evening I went to a friends birthday party actually it was two of my friends, they were celebrating it together. Yup it took place at two hotels (first one we got kicked out before we even popped any bottles open, sad...totally reminded me of prom). The second one was half-assed success. Why? Lets just say later on that evening events occurred. Events such as me laying down in the trunk of my friends '92 Honda Accord, taking my shirt off and walking on the side walk, getting in to a friendly brawl with a BIG friend of mine (which was considered life threatening becuase he was seriosuly BIG). But that's just me, as for the party in general, well... it ended in sourness (like prom night did). Cops got involved thats all I'm saying LOL.

Yup, indeed a memorable Friday it was. I think thats enough for tonight's blog.

PEACE. DRINK RESPONSIBLY.

Recap of Yesterday In a Large Nutshell.

So yesterday my final class ended at 6pm...guess what time I got home (the average time it takes me to get home is at least an hour and half)? I ended up stepping through the doors at my house at 9:30pm!!! THAT'S OVER 3 HOURS! The TTC system was so hectic yesterday, it literally affected everybody in Toronto taking public transit. Here's the deal, after class ended I took a little twinkle in the men's room (because that's what men do when they're in the men's room), afterward I went straigtht to Dundas station. When I got there I saw cops and a train full of prople already, I knew something was up. But, in all honesty I thought somebody got stabbed or an old lady got her purse stolen or something. So while I was standing there in the train waiting for it to move, I started sweating excessively and I've been standing in there for like 10 minutes and its packed with people, not to mention I had a jacket on. Impatient as I am, I got off only to overhear someone say the trains had a power failur or something. I was shocked and scared becasue I lived all the way uptown and I was all the way at the centre of downtown Toronto! Needless to say there were some trains running, BUT they were SLOWWW as HELLLLL! All passesngers were forced to get off another station and take the shuttle bus to get to their designated stations. As I got off Bloor Station and went up to catch the shuttle busses outside this was what I saw...






It was horrible, yet exciting LOL. Why? Because something finally something happened for once that I wouldn't consider regular or commonly occurs in my life. The bus ride was OBVIOUSLY a catastrophe! I was like sweating pounds of sweat due to the density of the bus carrying passengers well over the capacity limit. I had to stand up for the whole ride holding on to the rail my arm got so sore afterward. People outside were taking pictures of the bus, standing and staring, pointing and what not. It was hell and back I tell ya. Thankfully they fixed the problem and today the TTC was back to normal. My cellphone almost died because of the pictures I took with low battery level haha.

Take a look at what did to the small table on my chair in class today,



I traced the linings from the wood with my pencil, my friend was telling me how I was crazy for doing and must be bored out of my mind (and I was minus crazy). It might not look much from the picture, but in person it looks sick! Just as my friend. *nods head*

Here's a picture I took of the lecture hall...



That's all for now! PEACE.

Breakfast of Champions.

Ah yes, what a great way to start off my morning, by having the breakfast of champions. Hazelnut coffee with lots and lots of sugar and lots and lots of half & half cream. On top of that a cheese bagel with herb & garlic creamcheese, yummmieee. Anywhoo it is over half past 8am and my first class of the day starts at 10am. I am so no looking forward to that Popular Culture class, that damn room is too crowded and it gets wayyy too hot! Afterwards I'll have a 3 hour break from 12pm-3pm, that when my management class starts. Once again I am all alone at the food court typing away yet another of what seems to be many blog entries. Just give me a minute while I start the second half of my bagel now (=.... 1 mississppi...2 mississippi...3 mississippi...Oh boy this bagel went cold ultra fast, it's swallowing a boulder trying to eat this bagel now \=, but I'm a CHAMP so it's no biggie.

So, yesturaday after my accounting lecture I went into HMV and bought an album from this Canadian band called Tokyo Police Club. I've seen them appear on TV a few times and I sorta liked what I heard so I gave them a shot. Instead of downloading (=p) I decided to buy their work to support good music (the price was actually $7.99, haha). After listening to it, I was extremely happy with what I received, TPC it totally different from the stuff I usually listen to. Their use of keyboards syncs perfectly well with the other instruments and their vocalist (claimed by my younger brother) sounds like John Lennon, haha I guess that's a good thing? So I ended up purchasing the deluxe version without even knowing, it came with 2 disks. The scond disk contained 6 tracks that are remixes of selected song from the actual album itself. The remixes (to me) added more depth and flavour to the original recordings. My favourite songs on Elephant Shell would defiantly have to be Sixties Remake and Nursery, Academy.

Okay, I know that's an old picture seeing as the the bassist in the photo above is not Scott who is the current bassist of Weezer. BUT, this coming Tuesday (the 30th of September) me and my buddy are going to see perform at the ACC! THIS IS BIG NEWS FOR ME OH EM GEE! HYPERVENTIALTION KICKING IN. Yes, I am so looking forward to this! It's going to be my first concert ever! And what a first concert it's going to be! Though I am not a BIG fan of them I do enjoy several of their songs such as Buddy Holly (my favourite Weezer song btw), Hash Pipe, Pink Triangle, just to name a few. I bet you anything it's gonna crowded with men who are probably well into their 30's LOL.

Alright, time to sign off... I think the coffee and bagel combo is giving me a stomach ache.

Ja ne.

Looking from the inside out.

Ah, yes another day at school. Well technically downtown since I'm currently not in a lecture or what not, rather I'm in a food court above the Toronto Life Centre (I think it's called that). I've been here since 8 am in the morning and I am dreadfully bored to the max! I only have one lecture to attend today and it is at 2 pm in about an hour and 45 minutes. Bad news is, I have a in class quiz to write as well so I was doing a little studying, reading, and note-taking. I'm kinda nervous even though its a small quiz that's in multiple choice format, I believe it's worth about 5% OF MY FINAL GRADE!!!

Earlier, I was sitting studying from the text book above ^^^, I was so tired I ended up falling asleep (willfully). Few moments later a guard came and woke me up, that put me in such a bummy mood T.T




As I sit next to the windows, I was able to get a nice view of Yonge Street on the intersection of Yonge and Dundas. I find Toronto is getting more and more metro as the years go by, I was surprised of how much Toronto has evolved over the years. It was a shock when I walked out of Eaton Centre for the first time in AGES to get to my program orientation at my school. I love it down here it beat staring out the window in my bedroom all I`d see are houses and trees. It`s so lively down here and at night time it looks even better! Thinking about cities and night life makes me remember and miss Japan )=. I wish I spent more time there, there was so much I wanted to do but wasn`t able to, maybe next summer?

Man, I literally spend most of my life sitting here doing nothing. Thank you Apple for inventing the iPod. With out this nefty device I would probably cease to exist. I love music, I love listening to music, I love playing music, I love music.

Peace.
