what a thursday
i had a lot of trouble writing thursday in the title of this post so you better appreciate my effort...that's better.
So let me tell you about this crazy day (and its only 6:45 yikes so much still to do). So it started with an early morning bike home after a post fireworks sleepover (i didn't go to the fireworks...it was too noisy and there were dogs and kids everywhere...but no hills or beach it was too much like home without being home) Then i had breakfast (go me) and cleaned house (how does it get to be such a mess, its just me living there...hmm) then remembered that i had to finish stapling 'a lotta nerve' the CMHA chapbook that my writing group made. So i hightailed it into the office to do some stapling. Then i had to do work (as i was at the office) find a couple articles, finish updating a cv, mail off a manuscript. Before hightailing it back across town to the CMHA for the writing group at 11. I of course didn't plan any work, cause i gave them homework, but none of them did it so i sat there more or less with egg on my face. then one of my authors decided that he likes cliche so he's only going to write in it. [ps don't forget to find some examples of good cliche and bad cliche and talk about why each is good and bad]. After two hours of talking about not much and taking pills i headed home for lunch. I nearly caused and irate driver to get t-boned as he pulled a left hand turn across Giles without looking to see if there was approaching traffic because he was too busy yelling at me for being on the road. (ps there was approaching traffic, and that nearly ended very badly for both of us). Then i continued my ride home for lunch. Had spicy pasta which made me feel bloated (i don't think pasta is going to stay in my diet for much longer, it always makes me feel ill) so i read 50 pages of Dune (a new one). Then i went to campus to do some homework, but ran into danielle, so we chatted, then went to the mall. At the mall she tried on clothes (and bought some without a single fight....amazing) then looked at hmm oh yea zellers for chocolate (for me) and bandaids (for her) then she dropped me off at Chez's to learn about this summer camp which looks/sounds totally wicked, i think im going to go at least for now, im going to do the fundraising at least. Then we started talking about the Critical Mass tomorrow (im super stoaked) which is a cyclists taking over the road party downtown. i'm loving it. then about the millitary coop. now i just dont know how i feel about this. basically highschool kids can now take a paid millitary co-op, in which they receive basic training and join the reserves. hmm. basic training, awesome, learn physical, emotional, mental discipline i think this should be a core part of every curriculum. i know it should be. but join the reserves? i dunno. really its all a part of Harper's ploy to grow the military reserves by 10,000 men (women) and the standing army by 13,000. But this isn't suggested in the rhetoric for this new co-op program, just that kids will be paid (unlike all other co-ops) and be offered summer jobs with the army reserves. hmm. i have to learn more still. but this is a good site if you are curious.
www.geocities.com/coop4peace (ill make it a reall link soon...i have to go remember how)
and then i biked back to campus to continue working on my various things that needed work. now im blogging. soon i'll get into my emails (i have to invite all of you to the critical mass). then i have a bit of portfolio work to do, i hope. then back home for dinner prolly around 8. then more reading and around 12:30 to big dicks to celebrate Carol's birthday and find out how the game went today. then home. then tomorrow morning i think laundry and more reading. fun fun! then tomorrow evening is the critical mass. saturday is CANADA DAY (oh i lov you Canada). Then Sunday a bottle drive.
(and i wonder how my life get so full i can barely stand it... huh.)
okay time to go start some other stuff.

Portfolio season
I have to go buy some books (boo) i don't want to buy them, but i think i have to read them this weekend. *sigh* i don't think i am going to be able to go to the game tomorrow after all. Cause stupid campus is close on friday so i won't be able to work friday. and its a long weekend so i have to get extra stuff done in advance for next week. grr.
i wonder how the ethics are coming. hmm.
i had a super cranky day yesterday so i went home and wrote about it. a lot of bad poetry. that i will probably put in my portfolio. They have a new teacher coming in to teach the 498. im a little scared. i don't like new things. i have to be m ore diligent this year. the last two years i didn't really have to worry about the folio. but i dunno. I think that its a woman though. Markotic. Possibly Nichole. (my favourite name right now) I googled markotic and Nichole and Lorraine came up, but Nichole is a "canadian poet" like the rest of us, so i think it could be her. Maybe i will get one of her books too, just to get a feel for...of course Anne Walker was fabulous and she was new. i wonder why we are all so afraid of new things. but im a little bit coniving and i might take her seminar class too...just so i can get extra time in (you know). i like to know my teachers, and one class isn't enough to know someone. Besides if i use pender marty and karl for the rhodes im going to need someone new for other scholarships.
okay. i should work so that maybe i will be able to go to the game tomorrow.
Cheers Bears.

Happy Birthday Rocket
Not that it was the rockets birthday, or my birthday or a birthday of anyone or thing affiliated with us but on saturday it proved that enough was enough and I took The Rocket into the shop to get a brand new cassette and chain. and let me tell you how fricking fast he is now. Like real rocket. Zoom zoom.
oh an unrelated topic. i had super tasty steak yesterday, and i'm so glad because i was jonesing for some red meat.

Redundancy
Lets talk about the positive effects of negativity...hmm well i think that negativity helps keep away irratating people who might try to be overly positive. I mean if your super negative even people with genuinely heartfelt empty words of praise will eventually back off. I suppose that negativity helps prepare you for death...or illness...or papercuts. if your super negative about stuff all the time then even a papercut will be predictable and perhaps not as bad...
what are you talking about (in the immortal words of Edna Mode) ! Negativity is useless. always. always. Why go to the length of exerting the energy it takes to say, no not only say but post as you MSN name that you hate your body...what is that accomplishing...ooo. self pity (i just got that one) right. i suppose that demonstrating the apparent negativity towards yourself would have others turn to you and try to build you up..."come now your body isn't that bad..." or "we at least you can still drink..." hmm
i feel like wasting time. oh...i quit my job today. i didn't want to. but i dunno, it wasn't worth my time or energy i dont think. I'll have to email marty and let him know. gah. maybe thats why i feel all lost. hmm
buh bye miss jack. have a blast in BC

Noisy
i recently finished Dune, hmm i have to say. i think i will read the series, but i can't quite tell what to think. there is so much inner monologue its almost as bad as a soap opera/romantic novel...but i dunno, its kind of interesting.
[im lstening to the bc/sask and dave dickenson sounds like a pansy]
anyway about Dune, its interesting what the book has done and stood for in its genre, and i want to know more about the genre...but i'm kind of a poser cause i don't think i really like fantasy or science fiction. anyway. im trying to kill time till kick off...if you hadn't noticed.
sigh.

Noise
There is so much news and so little interest in writing it all to keep the world tapped into what I am doing with MY life...that's right me...everyone else seems to get it eh, Pacha. Listen, there was this boy; Manzini.
Okay tonite is the nite, Sebastian vs Tristan, 17 vs 37, BC Lions vs Saskachewan Roughriders 10pm EST on TSN; CLF season opener!!!! My two elder brothers are both playing their first official CFL game tonight and it is against each other.
And of course there is allday rugby tomorrow from 11am till 4;30 pm at the AKO field (www.windsorrugby.com)
and then I'm facilitating this writing workshop which is lots of fun, in fact i would even say loads of fun, in fact, yeah... i'm really liking it. We will see what will happen in the coming weeks.
SO im getting bored with life. i think its time for a project. see the problem is i like rugby as my project...but rugby won't let me play. and i like photography as ,my project, but the bank won't support that venture either. maybe i will get into yoga again, that was nice.. and maybe i should be writing more for myself and less for other people...actually i think that is a very good idea.
anyway. back to work for me.
