Alright guys. Who remembers the greatness that was S Club 7?
I'm taking the tv show here, who care about them as a group.
That used to be great.
And jonovision. Jonovision was the shit.
Why does TV suck now?

Well. That wasn't supposed to happen.
Went to the Grey Cup back in November(the 16th more specifically) and just didn't come back. A few of us(me, Lauren, Joseph, and Lindsay) went...but then we just kept going. Most spontaneous 2 weeks and 2 days of my life. We ended up at Lauren's grandparents' house in Halifax. I've decided I really like it down east. It'd be a good place to raise a family I think.
Anyhow. We came back yesterday.
I'm more tired than you can believe. Sleep now. Real updating and commenting to begin again tomorrow.
Stay Gold.

Went to Edmonton Saturday night. Wasn't too shabby. So anyway we got back this morning. Wasn't the intention to stay as long as we did, but life's more fun up there. Calgary's a fucken shithole. The only decent thing about is the skatepark in the summer, and the mountains being close in the winter.
We're probably going to go party at the cabin in Jasper next weekend. Hard to say. It's better when you can snowboard and what not.
I'm really liking this thing with Lauren right now. It's in the first couple weeks technically, so it's at the point where it just feels good you know? It's not until about the 3rd,4th week that the problems start to come out. So I'm enjoying this for what it is right now. I'm trying not to jump into it you know? Appreciate the steps and lead ups for once.
Working in 15 minutes. Lets see how traffic goes today.
Stay Gold.

Lauren stayed over last night. She came last so I suggested she stay. We didn't sleep much. Just talked...and stuff.
You know what I like about her? She's not a scene whore and we don't have the same shoes.
Going out for coffee with my mom tonight. Then proceeding to a party sans mommy dearest.
Stay Gold.

Today's been such a waste. I stopped by work for awhile even though I wasn't working. It's a fun place to hang out during the day. Anyway, they had a silkscreening thing delivered to the shop. So I went and bought a whole bunch of pink t-shirts, brought them back, and we silkscreened "Team Darren" on all of them. So the 5 of us wore skin tight, pink shirts saying "Team Darren". Oh yes. It was my homoerotic fantasy. No, I'm just kidding.
Bought a new pair of Rowley's. I really don't need them, I just bought them to make up for the fucking circas I bought. No idea why I keep buying circas. They're awful for skating. They're fine for high school girls who think skateboards make good accessories and that skate shoes should be pretty. But otherwise, they're fucking shit. Vans are the only reliable shoes in my opinion. They last, they're comfortable, and they skate well. I don't even know why I'm still talking about this.
Got incredibly baked earlier. Now that is something I haven't done in awhile. It was fine, but then I realized I'm not in high school anymore.
I need a life or something. I think maybe I'll try to get a job in Whistler, Jasper or Banff(preferably, though any ski resort would do) and be a snowboard instructor. It's better than dicking around here, getting drunk and skateboarding, which is pretty limited in the winter.
I didn't expect to spend my year off like this.
Stay Gold.

Home now. I'm not drunk. 10 points.
General rundown since I can barely keep my eyes open. more to come in the next few. days.
France. Flight there, consisted of sedatives and vomit bags. Flight back, sedatives and vomit bags. I hate flying, you don't understand. Luckily my puking was done at airports and not on the planes. Let's hear it for too much information.
I don't even know where to begin. It was amazing. I see why my mom wanted me to go. It was just incredible, I don't even know what else to say. It's nice to be somewhere else and experience a new culture which was the whole point, I guess. Did a bit of skating over there. Met some kids, they took me to some spots, had a lot of fun with them. Got shitfaced probably 5 nights out of 7. Pretty sick. Steering clear of that shit now that I'm back I think. Well not clear, but less often. Anyhow. What else. I stayed with family. Okay and that's the gist.
Tonight I hung out with Lauren. She hasn't found a boyfriend while I've been gone and claims she never tried. Truthfully, me neither. I kinda like this one.
Stay Gold.

Modest Mouse is tonight. I don't know what to think. I heard they were horrible in Edmonton last night. Supposedly their soundcheck went half an hour late, so the show didn't start until then. Then I guess they took forever between songs and had a lot of computer difficulties.
Sunday I went to the Weakerthans. Fucking amazing. As always. You can never expect less from that band. They're the best band around right now.
After we went to this party and I decided I'm not going to any more. They're fucking retarded. It was up in the NE. Everyone there was a jock-type and I've been out drinking with alot of them before. I don't know. I guess when you mix a bunch of drunken guys in with some girls, you run into problems. There was shit going down between people that wasn't cool. I don't even think we were there half an hour.
Lauren and I've been seeing quite a bit of each other. She's rad, but this time I'm taking shit slow. I fall for girls way too quickly and always find myself regretting it. I don't want to set myself up for a harsh ending. I guess we'll see.
19 days.
Stay Gold.

I've been listening to Pearl Jam for two days straight.
The weakerthans are tonight. I heard they put on a good show last night. What else can be expected?
I'm sorry I suck at updating this. I'm too busy doing nothing.
Mom's sending me off to France. I talked to Andy about it. He said it was a good experience for him and that I'll probably have a good time. Of course I'm not going with any friends. Just me and my lonesome. I have a cousin out there though that's 19. She's pretty cool. I leave September 28th. Come back on October 30th. I've always skipped the europe trips with my family, but now I think I can truly appreciate it, you know?
Community is up.

Ian and I finished our community. Almost. Few things we'd like to do for it, then promotion will begin. the_hot_show fizzled. I think people just stopped caring about it. So we're trying again. This time I think it'll be more alive.
Didn't have to call Lauren. I ran into her at the store today. We're meeting up at Strung Out tonight. Maybe go for coffee or something after.
Weakerthans on Sunday. Modest Mouse on Wednesday. That's fucken rad yo.
I have to go though.
Stay Gold.

I swear to God, if I don't have a plan by the end of September, I will have the hugest spaz people in the vicinity will ever see. For now, it's work, but I need something better than that.
A bunch of us went for a skate tonight. We all came here after for a veggie burger barbeque. Probably 12/16 of us are vegetarian/vegan & so the rest of them know how to deal with the veggie burgers. Grant and Jordan came out which was rad.
I need to stop biting my nails. I've bitten them down so muhc lately, it's actually starting to get painful.
I met a girl at the skatepark named Lauren. She's rather hot. Friends with Joseph, so she's a year older. Works for me. No complaints. I got her number and she joined us for the BBQ. I'll call her tomorrow maybe, as anxious as that seems, see if she wants to hang out at all this weeked.Maybe I'll see her at Strung Out tomorrow night and it'll save me the trouble of calling her. Maybe she'll be down for Modest Mouse next Wednesday.
Anyhow.
Stay Gold.

Parties like tonight remind me that everyone's still stuck in high school anyway. People are immature. Got punched in the face(again) and someone ralphed all over my leg. Advice for you drinkers : Moderation is key. Even when I'm drunk I know my limits. People should learn theirs. Fucken eh.
Andy left Saturday morning at 6:30. Jason left this morning(sunday morning). Saturday night we hung out. Last night of that for awhile. Sucks the big one.
Stay Gold.

I was told to come party tonight. Instead I went to the skatepark by myself. It was nice. I was there for probably 3 hours.
I'm all partied out. Partyed? Same shit. I've been going out drinking too much lately.After awhile it starts to feel like a chore or something. You don't want to, but you have to since there's nothing better to do. But that's a really shitty way of looking at things I've realized, so I'm cutting back on my partying.
Someone should hook me up with a code that I can pass along to my friend and in turn, one'll be passed right back to you in a week. He's hot, you can have his babies. Anyone?
Bored. Someone IM me. savingxtomorrow.
Stay Gold.

There is nothing better than starting your morning with a skate. I got up at 8, went to the park at 8:30. I talked to this homeless guy, Louis, for a bit. He's 46. He's probably one of the smartest people I've ever talked to. If I decided my main goal this year is to just learn about life, I'd go talk to him every morning for an hour for a year and I'd only be able to hope that I'd be a quarter of how smart he is. I personally love talking to homeless people. Not the drunk ones who stumble around and pull knives on you, but the ones that make you wonder why they're there.
Calgary's got so many homeless people, it's disgusting. Considering that have such a huge drop-in and there're still people sleeping on the stairs to theatre and on the sidewalks against buildings, it's awful. People always say "Oh they're bums, they can get a job, it's their fault." I guess I understand where they're coming from, but it's astounds me that they're not sympathetic. Downtown Calgary you'll always see atleast 10 homeless people before you leave. I'm always there in the morning and going past the people sleeping on stairs and against buildings, and little areas where you can tell someone's set up camp, I don't understand how you can't feel for them. I don't think enough people care is all.
Even though I studied america, I don't think I know where any states are, with the exception of alaska, california, hawaii,washington and florida. Like Ohio. Where the hell's that? Canada's so much easier. It's not a mish-mash of 50 places that all sound the same. It's straight across, 10 provinces, and then straight across 3 territories. Nice and easy.
savingxtomorrow: Yeah, it's good...do you like it...down south? I don't even know where kentucky is
StephMose812: yeah sort of south ... it's right below indiana and above tennessee if that helps at all? but yeah, i like it
And case.
Stay Gold.

| I'm liking this song right now. |
[29 Aug 2003|01:44am] |

And we're driving just as fast as we can / and we're racing to outrun the wind / It's just me and you and you and me so wild eyed / so young, bright eyed and free / And we're trying to get out of here / and a small town romance draws ever near / And I swear we're in a movie / the highlight comes when you kiss me / The stereo sings our song / and we don't hesitate to sing along / Drive to dream to live, we could see the world tonight / Here to hope tomorrow we could see the world / And we're miles from the middle of nowhere / and neither of us seems to care / And that's why I love you so, shut your mouth girl / no one has to know / And time seems to drip like Dali / and neither of us has a place to be / So for once and forever tell me all of your dreams
