As my first post of the new year, I feel this should be epic. I also feel like I should compile a list of my favorite albums or something because I profess to like music a lot. That said, I am a) lazy and b) think a year is way to long a period of time to evaluate (this is namely due to my laziness). An epic and music filled entry with tops and bottoms and fav fads may appear. Hopefully. My new years resolution is to be less a lame ass slob and do more things that are interesting and stimulating. I say this a lot.

Regardless, this first blog of the new year (however many days late it may be) is dedicated to my most avid reader, Rosanna Crawford. Fear not my heart, fan club t-shirts are coming out soon. After I re evaluate my financial situation.

Evaluation of Financial situation:
Not as much as I had last semester.

This means less sushi and band merch. LCBO spendings and concert ticket fees however have squeezed past the cut. It was a tight race but after an intense period of prioritization I remembered what the two most important tings in my life are: Peace and Love. Jokes - Booze and Beats.

Along with my pledge to be more stimulating, I as well resolve to find out what the deuce is wrong with my intestines/body. This knowledge coupled with my new workout regime (it entails actually going to the gym) will hopefully help me reach my last new years goal: rockin a bod like that of Ginger Spice. I will then reunite with my childhood girl band for our reunion tour. See you at the Gardens.

Office Quote of the Day:

Why tip someone for a job I’m capable of doing myself? I can deliver food. I can drive a taxi. I can, and do, cut my own hair. I did, however, tip my urologist. Because I am unable to pulverize my own kidney stones.
- Dwight Shcrute

I do cut my own hair, but I didn't tip my urologist.

Why do I wake up feeling shitty all the time? Oh, right, because my body refuses to enter the REM cycle most nights.

One day kids. In just over 24 hours I am going to be out of this shapeless province of Ontario and surrounded by Mountains and Mollys and Majestic people of all sorts. Holy CRAPARAP.

So tell me bout your mom.

I am coming home in 4 days. I am growing my hair long like the seaweed. First album I am listening to at home is Chad VanGaalen's Skeliconnection because I forgot it there and it is awesome. The Chad is Awesome. Calgary is awesome. Seaweed and Sushi are awesome.

Here is a song from Infiniheart for you:
Chad VanGaalen - After the Afterlife

Today a man told me I was living art. He also said my friend needs a tiara because she is a queen and asked my jewish friend if he was a musher, as in dog sled racer.

Get ready.

This is why I want kids. They are a hoot.

The Plan - 12 days.

I have 12 days before I am home. In that time I have to study and go see Hanson, Los Campesinos!, Kevin Drew, and Apostle of Hustle. The remainder of the time I am doing nothing. That is a lot of nothing.

I am back in the habit of eating. Copious amounts, very frequently. My plan is to eat all the food in my apartment in the next 2-3 days and then be forced to study out of boredom because I have no food left to eat. I have also made a vow to only buy food from the grocery store. This means no eating out which means more money in my bank account which means more Strongbows at Broken city with my girlfriend and best friends in 12 days time.

The count down has begun. Go put the widget on your desktop.

"Please don't let me die"
