First Official Day Of the Christmas Break

So, good morning! It's the first official day of the Christmas break today, which is exciting. I forgot to mention that I finally hit $100 on my Google AdSense for my tech blog. It's going to be my first paycheck! Google is shipping out at the end of the month, so I should get it in the middle of January 2010! Oh yeah, I have to spend this Christmas figuring out what I want to do for the rest of my life. I don't feel that Computer Science is right for me... It's so boring, how could someone do code for the rest of their life?

So, today I'm off to my Uncle Jason's place. Going to be real fun, we're going to play a bunch of StarCraft games. I hope Nikki and her brother don't get bored though, that's my only concern.

Exams are Finally Over! Christmas Time!


Finally! Exams are over and I am relieved. This break is going to consist of some hardcore gaming because I miss it. It's going to be a ton of those annoying Facebook Applications on top of SSX Tricky, Hot Shots Golf Fore and, the one I'm looking forward to most, Final Fantasy VII for the good old Play Station. You may notice that there are no next-gen games on there, well that's because I only have a PS2 right now. I'll probably plan on getting the PS3 Slim next year because Final Fantasy XIII and Gran Turismo 5 are coming out. Damn, 2010 is going to be a great year. I can't wait!

I'll try to update this as much as I can over these Christmas holidays! =)

It's Impossible To Move -- Don't Even Try It.


This is what I have learned in History of Science and Technology class so far.

"Zeno argues that to reach a point, you much first cover half the distance to a point. However, to get to that halfway point, you would first need to cover half the distance (i.e., one-quarter of the full distance), and therefore one-eighth, one-sixteenth, and so on. Since there are an infinite number of halfway points between any two end points, it would take an infinite time to cover the whole distance, making it impossible to move."

Great, I can't wait to write an essay on this.

Summer Is Officially Over!

It's September 7th and Summer is now over. In 12 hours, I'll be in my Physics class, learning and reviewing old stuff. Unfortunately, it won't be "review" for me. I have to go into my nerd mode again, kind of like last year. There's nothing much left to say, but there's school tomorrow and I'm definitely not excited. Ryerson here I come.

Something I Forgot to Do This Summer

This Summer I forgot to do the one thing that I hoped I would be able to do. Relax. Thanks to my tech blog, I've been getting up early all the time and I'm spending about eight hours a day in front of my PC typing. I don't hate myself for starting my tech blog - because I love talking about it - but I do dislike the fact that I spent so much time typing everyday. I never really had time to myself or just to relax.

While school was going on, I looked forward to relaxation during the Summertime, but that never happened. Thankfully, I've been able to lie down today and just relax - since there's not much to talk about on my tech blog on the weekends. And, relaxing today felt really good. I have a feeling I'll be praying for the weekend every week during the school year.

I'm definitely not looking forward to school in 10 days.

On a side note, I don't regret the time I spent with my two best friends though. Everytime I'm with those two it's always amazing! :)

This World is in Perfect Balance

I don't know if you've heard the saying, but it goes a little something like this: "Don't make fun of nerds because one day you'll be working for him." I find this statement surprisingly true. However, this is not coming from experience, I just feel that this world is in perfect balance.

Some actresses out there looked really ugly when they were younger, but when they blossomed they turned out smoking hot. You get made fun of when you're a kid and you'll be successful one day. It may not be true in all cases, but for the most part, I feel that it is. I guess karma plays a role in this in some way, shape, or form.

Girls may not be as athletic as guys are, but that's okay because in the end we're all equal. God made us that way. Girls have the ability to create miracles by having children - and guys can't do that. Now it may not feel like a miracle while the whole process is going on, but after a couple of minutes you'll see that all of the grunting and pain pays off.

That was something I wrote earlier this month and since I have nothing else to add at the time I guess I'd just post it. Maybe I'll add / do a continuation to this post in the future. We'll see what happens.

Hardcore Gaming Was My Past

It looks like my hardcore gaming days are over. On Saturday, I was thinking about StarCraft II and I was thinking about how much I'd get to play it. With University coming up, I'm definitely not going to be able to play during the school year; if I do, it'll be around 5 hours per week - at the most. Next Summer would be the perfect time to play, but I'm hoping that I can find a job. It's going to be the same thing for the next 3 years of University, which means absolutely no time to play. After school, I'm obviously going to start working and I'll definitely have a lot to do then. Let's just hope I'll be able to squeeze in some StarCraft II in there somewhere. I'm that excited.

I wish I was a kid again.

Ryerson University Schedule

So, yesterday I finally got most of my schedule for University. It's actually much more empty than I thought it would be, but that's because I still have to choose two electives. One of them will be Physics and I still don't know what the other one will be. It's kind of tough for me to choose, but that's only because none of them interest me all that much. Thankfully, I have until August 18 to decide. I'll post my schedule on here when it's all done after August 19th or something like that. I'm kind of excited for University, but not entirely. School's about a month away, where did Summer go? I should probably mention that this is probably one of the worst Summer's weather-wise in a while. It hasn't hit 30 degrees since June 28th or something; it just sucks because I like it when it's 32 degrees.

And the Magic Number Is...?


What do you think it is? 3? 7? 8? 13? 42? Nope, it's not any of those. 7 may be lucky and 42 may be a big number in science, astronomy, religion and math, but neither of those is the magic number I am going to talk about today. This is, obviously, a debatable topic - I guess - but it's just an 18 year-old bloggers opinion, so bare with me.

I believe that the magic number is also "the loneliest number in the world". Yes, I'm talking about the number one. Why? Because of many, many things. I believe that there is one God. There's always one team that wins the World Series every year and [usually] only one person wins the MVP award. One is a very magical number in this world and this number could be applied to basically every situation imaginable.

It only takes one person to change the world - one person to make a difference. If you're lonely it should only take that one special friend to get you right back on your feet. One decision in your life alters your whole future - how scary is that? It takes one mistake and your whole world could come crashing down. It only takes one day to alter how security is issued and one death to bring the world to tears. One president, one pope, one Prime Minister, and one dictator changes all of world history - for better or for worse.

The list could go on and on, but I don't want to drag on this post any longer than it already is. One more paragraph and I could lose all of my readers - even though there's only one of you out there. Okay, maybe two.

Threesome at the Park!!

Referring to my last post, yes I do love ashlee, but I also love my Nikki. I hope they both had as much fun as I did today because today was s'amazing. I got to go to the park with my two best friends and t'was fun!! :) Even though, I almost "killed" ashlee by rubbing yellow pollen on her pretty little face. And well, Nikki survived the whole thing. I don't really know what I'm talking about anymore, but I just wanted to let @kiwislice and @iamashlee know that they're amazing! =D

Hopefully, we'll be able to do it again next week, y'know Wonderland! Woo!

So, after ashlee left me and my girlfriend's brother were boxing - one glove each. It was really fun, I've always wanted someone to fight with. Having no siblings sucks... sometimes. But, I like that there's no one here to bug me all the time, so I'm okay without one, LOL.

I love Ashlee. <3

hi, my name is isaiah copon.
i like big butts.
& i cannot lie.
you other brothers can't deny.

yeh, anyways, i'm hanging with my best friend, ashlee. <3 i love her to death.
oh, & my girlfriend is here too, but who cares.

um, i killed a tree today at the park, & my bestfriend tried to kill me because her faery friends were living in that tree. by the way, ashlee is a faery too. she is the most bestest faery in the whole wide world. ♥&i love her♥

um, i also almost killed my bestfriend today too. i rubbed the yellow part of a flower on her cheek, & she blew up like a balloooooon. like WHOA.

okay, now i am done, and i must go watch my favouritest show, Paris Hilton's BFF2, & listen to some Jonas Brothers while i dance around in my underpants. <3


Angels & Demons Finished, the Da Vinci Code Next

So, I've mentioned before that I was reading Angels & Demons since I was so interested in the book after I watched the movie. Well two nights ago, I finished reading the book!! That's a really big accomplishment for me, since I've only read one other book before this - and it was a StarCraft book. Yes, that's right, I read a StarCraft book and I plan to read the whole series. That being said, I've never finished reading a book for English class and I still managed survived High School, trust me it's not as hard as you may think it is. All you have to do is listen in class, you basically get it summarized for you anyway.

Now that I've finished Angels & Demons I've moved on to my next book. The 'Da Vinci Code'. I don't remember the movie too much, but I'm really interested in the whole Science vs Religion aspect of it. I love the way Dan Brown just uses so much detail in his writing. I also loved the historical / important facts about stuff like the Illuminati - for example, that the American one dollar bill has Illuminati symbology imprinted on it.

Anyways, the Da Vinci Code will take me a bit longer to read since it's a thicker book and I'm also simultaneously reading 'Fables' with my girlfriend.

Free Mandarin!

Reflecting back on my post yesterday, I remembered that I forgot to talk about my quest to get free Mandarin! In a jiffy, I was successful and I did get to eat at Mandarin for free. If you want the long story, continue reading.

So, it was July 1st - Canada Day. I left the house at around 11:30 a.m. to meet my cousin who is in Grade 10 and was standing in line for 2.5 hours already. She told me that she was tired and that we should be in the first batch of people that they bring in. Well, an hour passes by and we've moved all of around 5 feet. This was probably due to the fact that all of these black people just came out of nowhere. Black teenagers just swarmed and cut in line and the police didn't do anything about it. Members of the line often argued their point, but they were just no match for the over exaggerating black teenagers who lied about already being in the line.

Another hour passes and it's 2:00 p.m. She starts to text Kristen Que / Christel Sison back and forth because, apparently, they were in the line as well. Unfortunately for them, we were way ahead of them. After a couple of texts, Cathleen's cell phone dies of battery and we were stranded in the line. The line continued to accumulate more and more people - black people - and it starts to get cramped. I just wanted to punch someone in the face at this point.

After pushing and shoving our way to the front, we finally get seated at 4:02 p.m. The wait was definitely much longer than I expected, but I think it was worth it. I had fried rice, spicy chicken, crispy chicken, garlic bread, pizza, apple pie, vanilla ice cream, red / orange jello, etc. That's all I can think of at this point, but yeah. It was definitely worth it. What else was there to do at home anyway? There was surprisingly nothing much to blog about.

On our way out, look who it is. The mint girl from last time. I remember her, I thought she was pretty hot. Not gonna lie though, she was looking at me. I didn't say anything to her though... maybe next time. Probably not though. Oh well. I have my girlfriend already, she's kind of cute - just kind of.

My Girlfriend Has Potential Part 2

Feb. 17/09: Yesterday, I talked about my girlfriend going all gamer-mode the past couple of days. So, on Sunday she played from about 8 p.m. - 3 a.m. and yesterday she played from 1:30 p.m. - 12:00 a.m. That's actually quite impressive. 17.5 hours in 2 days. Since i could play an average of 30+ hours in 2 days playing WoW, that's over 1/2 of what i'd play. So, she got off at about 12:00 a.m. last night and she went on to "her second love" Neopets for about 15 minutes. Our (Me, Nikki and ashlee) neopet owns face, pretty much. The stats of the pet are a bit low, but we have 2.6 million (NP) neopoints in the bank plus the 400,000+ NP spent on the neopet home. Oh wait, I'm going off topic, this is supposed to solely be based on my girlfriend's gaming.

Today's July 2 and she's back at it. On a side note, our Neopet account got banned a couple of months ago. You may or may not remember Part 1 of this, but here's the link. For the past week or so, my girlfriend, Nikki, has been playing Harvest Moon again, almost non-stop - if she's awake that is. She usually wakes up at around 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. so at that point I've already been awake for around 4 - 6 hours just tech blogging. There's really nothing to do, but I'd choose this life over the school life.

Anyways, let's get back to the main point, my girlfriend playing Harvest Moon again. So, while finishing up the last season of Dexter today, she played. She's been playing for the past 8 hours straight. She's working out now, but she should go back to playing again when she gets back. We're usually up until around 4 or so. I play Hot Shots Golf Fore / read Angels & Demons, while she plays. It's good because we get to stay up with each other on Skype, something that I love to do.

It'll be our 1 year anniversary in a week and I don't know what to do. Is that bad? Probably. I'll think of something though. I know I don't want anything expensive though - I'm thinking skipping rope - and hopefully she doesn't because, at this point, we both don't have a job. Man, I'm really starting to get pissed off how none of us aren't getting called. She should get called next week though, I'll keep my fingers crossed. Although me - no hope.

Yeah, so we're both "hardcore" gaming again. I know when my true potential will come out - hello Starcraft 2. Oh yeah, I should probably mention that I'm playing Starcraft 1 again. If you want to know my account name, message me.

Transformers 2 / Mandarin

No, I won't be reviewing Transformers 2. That's up to my other friend, Aaron (here). I just have some thoughts about the movie. Okay well, first off, I thought the movie was too long. My butt was hurting for the last half hour or so. Another thing is - wow, Megan Fox was damn hot. Hmm, what else? You know what? There was too much action - I think. Half of the time I didn't even know what was going on, but maybe that's just me. The movie did show what producers are supposed to do though. Clearly, the movie is meant to stray away from the hardcore fans, in order to make a ton of money. The producer's job is to make something that will appeal to the majority of the audience for the money - they're not meant to satisfy just the nerdy little hardcore bunch, which sucks most of the time (for the hardcore fans, I mean). Was that confusing? Oh well.

I watched Transformers 2 today with my girlfriend and it was a pretty good day, besides the fact that it just wouldn't stop raining. Went back to her place and watched a bit of National Treasure, but that's basically it. Oh yeah, we can finally finish watching Dexter again, since I transferred the rest of Season 3 onto her laptop. I can't wait.

I hope that I can wake up at 8 in the morning tomorrow, since there's going to be a free Mandarin event tomorrow. It's the Mandarin manager's 30th year being a Canadian citizen - or something like that - so there's free Mandarin on Canada Day, which is today. I hope the line-up isn't too long.

The Journey - Successful

It's been a while since I updated here, but I want to talk about how last Friday was - June 26. I wanted to talk about this last Saturday, but I completely forgot. It was one of the most memorable Fridays in a while.

I got to my girlfriend's place and we just chilled there for a bit. Watched a bit of Dexter - emphasis on a bit. Then we finally decided to leave the house. "We" meaning me, my girlfriend, and her brother. We walked to the bus stop and I was actually scared we were going to miss it. So, yeah, we took the bus to Square One, took another bus from there to the subway. Then we took 2 subways to get to Eaton Centre. We just walked around for a bit, but we were unaware that it was Gay Pride weekend - or something like that.

We went everywhere. My girlfriend was really amazed at this girl dressed as an angel outside because she though it was a statue. She was even more impressed by a guy painted in bronze because he was the closest thing to a statue I've seen since I saw the silver man in San Francisco a couple of years back. Another guy that was fairly interesting was a guy outside drawing on the sidewalk - it was a tribute to Michael Jackson. It was pretty cool. And, weirdest thing ever was some crazy hobo eating ice cream walking up to us 3. He ended up saying something with his ice-creamed-out beard / mustache, but I forget what it was now.

Anyways, after eating and being amazed at the phones that Rogers Plus had - the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic - we decided to go to my Uncle Jason's place. After eating some burgers and just chilling and talking outside, we decided to go back in to my uncle's condo. My Uncle Phil showed off some pictures from my early, early childhood to my girlfriend, kind of funny stuff. We watched Push, it was a pretty good movie. Shortly after, we watched the intro to Kung Fu Panda. We went home afterwards.

It may seem boring as I write it, but I'm glad that we went there. I got to chill with just about the 4 most important people in my life. I loved that day, I wish I could relive it again. Good to see that my girlfriend and her brother accepted my uncles. Bottom line, it was a really damn good day.

Today, I'm off to see Transformers 2 with my girlfriend. I'm leaving at around 1:30 - if you care.

Could I Really Be?

After a rough night, today I'm off to a journey with my girlfriend and her brother. I have no clue where we're going to go, but it's going to be a journey, which could possibly mean downtown. I don't know for sure, and we'll just have to see how it goes.

I'm currently reading Angels & Demons and it's probably the best book I've ever read in my life - seeing how I've only read two other books in my life. It's really interesting and is so scientific, I wish I took Biology in High School, but it's too late now.

Oh yeah, I've been thinking about it for a couple of days now. It's funny how students have to pick what to do for the next 45 years of their life at the age of 17 /18. How are we really supposed to know what we want to be? Oh well.

Although, Michael Jackson never had much impact on my life for the past 10 years, he definitely played a part of my childhood. R.I.P. Michael Jackson.

It's Officially Summertime!


It's 3:46 a.m. I have just finished writing all of my exams and I'm damn proud that I'm finally finished. Let me sum up the past couple of weeks for all of you - all 2 of you out there. So, I've been writing on my tech blog less because of exams lately. I had my first job interview on Thursday with Future Shop, I really hope they give me a call next week. I got my first [real] mail from Google, due to the whole AdSense thing going on over there on my tech blog. And I finished my last exam yesterday. It's officially Summer.

I can finally update this everyday, but I doubt I'll do that since I rarely have anything to talk about. I rarely ever "think." Oh yeah, I should probably mention that I just finished watching the first 3 seasons of "Dexter." It's officially the best show on TV I have ever seen. Yes, it beats "The Office." "The Office" is definitely second though.

Yeah, "Dexter" is just amazing. The blood, suspense, and another English word that I can't think of on the top of my head. Basically, it's when the audience knows something the characters don't know. This, in turn, leads to more suspense and hilarity ensues.

I don't really know what else to talk about. But, I do know that the main reason I wrote on this blog today was to tell you all that I finally get to clean my room! I plan to keep it clean - at least for the Summer. I'm going to start cleaning tomorrow, but I'll probably finish on Sunday because I have a ton to do.

On a side note, Friday night was amazing. One of the best nights I've had in my life. Anyways, I'm bored, so good night world. For those viewers in Singapore... good afternoon.

Random Lunch Times

Sarah did math today, which was pretty surprising. Since I have 999 posts on my Tech blog and it takes me an average of 15 minutes to do one post. This means that I have spent over 10 days of my life blogging about technology, "because I'm a huge loser", according to Sarah.

I haven't blogged on here for a while, so I figured I might as well post something. I'm quite bored during my lunch period, even though Sarah's here. But, she bores me even more - just kidding. She told me that she's not going to be here tomorrow because she has a dentist appointment, but I don't really care, since I'm going to blog about some new technology and I don't even talk to her anyway. I don't even know her middle name. Right now, she is questioning why and how I can type without looking and I told her that it's easy mode. Her middle name starts with an 'M.' Hmm, let me think. I almost got it right on my first try, I guessed Maria. Her middle name is actually Marie. Anyways, she's telling me a story, so I guess I'll stop blogging for now.

My next post could be this weekend, but it could also be at the end of June, so oh well. Exams soon.

Putting Edge / Hannah Montana Is The Bomb!

Yesterday I finally got to spend some time with my girlfriend. So, while waiting for her to get home, I waited on her porch and hacked into 2 peoples' networks so I could use their WiFi. After spending some time watching G4 Tech TV [!!!!!] we went to AMC. After deciding not to watch a movie, we ate Demetre's even though I'm broke. After eating my delicious crepe and after finishing off Nikki's milkshake-thing we decided to go to Putting Edge. There were no movies that we felt like watching - not even Fast and Furious - so we decided to go putting instead. On a side note, the last time I went to Putting Edge was for my 10th or 11th birthday party (according to my knowledge). In addition to me applying there, we had a great time  - even though Nikki lost her glowing bracelet. We'll probably be visiting that place more often because it's cheaper than a movie. That was my Putting Edge experience for the night. I really do hope that I get the job. $10.00 an hour would mean that (according my availability) I could have a PS3 in just a week of working. How bomb would that be?

Today, on the other hand, I've been extremely bored. Nothing new / fascinating to blog about and I'm not really in the school work mood. I have a Calculus test on Monday and a Physics Lab due on Tuesday and a Physics Test on Wednesday. It may be nothing compared to studying for those University exams, but I'm just saying. I woke up quite early this morning because I had to go to my dentist appointment. After bleeding on numerous occasions, it was over. I've been home for the past 5 hours now and have been completely surrounded by boredism. I'm considering taking a nap until 5 p.m. because I have to go to church at 5:30. On a side note, I have the sudden urge to drive!

Oh, I just thought about something funny. This morning my mom informed me that she got an e-mail from O2 (a mobile phone provider) saying that she won £415,000 randomly. My mom foolishly thought it was real but after about 2 seconds of Google'ing, I revealed to her that it was just a scam. The funny thing is that someone on the forums was being laughed at because he actually decided to give €400 to the specified address in the e-mail. My mom's not too tech-saavy, but at least she informed me about the e-mail before shipping the money - or herself. She actually got a little bit sad after finding out it was just a scam; she was actually happy for a change y'know. I love my mother.

The Climb by Hannah Montana is just about the greatest song I've heard off of the Family channel. Usually I don't like music that has "meaning" to it (aka Tupac), but this one is different. I don't know what it is, but there's just something about this song that I love. It feels like it just has so much passion / feeling. It's a different side of Miley Cyrus and it's a much different song than her Hannah Montana opening song (which I hate because it sounds to me like she's bragging a bit). Kind of hard to believe that I like this song, since I'm into hardcore rap music. Anyways, make sure to watch the video below in HQ.

Doubts

Before you go and question the title, keep in mind that this is about University and nothing else. I have a day-off today and I figured that I might as well write some of my thoughts down because I rarely have time to update this. First of all, Physics is starting to make sense, but we'll just have to see after my next test on Tuesday.

Second of all, I'm having doubts about what I want to spend the rest of my life doing. What do I want my career to be? As of right now, my dream job would be to work for Dell, Blizzard or Google as a Software / Computer Engineer. Yes, that is shooting for the stars a bit, but it is a dream. Anyways, I talked a little bit about my future yesterday with Nikki and Adrian. It really got me thinking about what I want to do in the future. Do I even want to be a Computer Engineer? Every University student questions themselves about this same topic, "Do I really want to be doing this job for the rest of my life?" I don't really know if I want to be a Computer Engineer anymore because I'm kinda sorta leaning towards Software Engineering. I know being an Engineer will be extremely tough for me, but I'm willing to put myself to the test. A couple of my friends have struggled in Engineering-based courses so I am having my doubts, but I'm just going to have to test it out for myself. I am sure about one thing though, I will not be an Electrical Engineer, LOL. I might even go into Computer Science to see where that leads me. We'll just have to see what offers I get - if I get any - from Ryerson; I'm praying to get accepted into Computer Engineering for, at least, first year.

I'm anxious to see how I do, even though my main focus should be this school year.

I almost forgot. Last night me and my girlfriend were talking and I brought up the fact about how I love Astronomy and Liquid Nitrogen. The whole knowing about life and stars out there and Super Conductivity (video below) really fascinate me. Maybe I'll even major in something around those lines. Keep in mind that the video below does have quite a lengthy intro, so you might want to skip forward a little bit (approx 0:50 mark).

Off To My Girlfriend's Place I Go!

So, I'm all ready to leave for my girlfriend's place today. I was supposed to leave at 9:15 a.m. to bus to her house, but my mom offered to drive me so I now have 30 minutes to spare. Before I talk about today, I'll talk about yesterday.

Gotta love Saturdays. The day where I'm supposed to catch up on all of my work - especially because I'm going to be at my girlfriend's place today. Yesterday from about 3 p.m. - 3 a.m. I watched this show on BET called 'The Game.' I didn't even know what it was before today, but I did notice that a couple of my friends on Facebook became "Fans" of the show. Well, the show is pretty good, I'm not going to lie (I did watch it for about 12 hours). In addition to having a couple of hot girls, the storyline is actually decent but it's not exactly brand-new. It follows the traditional boy and girl together, they break up, go out with other people, then they come into realization that they're still in love later, etc. It's actually pretty funny, but it's not as funny as 'The Wayans Bros.' I don't really want to explain every character in depth because I don't want to make this post that lengthy. Anyways, it's a pretty good show, I like it.

On to today. Like I said, I'm going to my girlfriend's house today. We're going to watch the last two episodes of 'The Office' and then go to the movies and watch 'Duplicity.' I don't really know what else we're going to do after that, but I'm going to have to leave before 7 p.m. because that's when they leave for church. I haven't seen my girlfriend for over a week, so I miss her. I can't wait to leave, even though I'm about to eat bacon and I just brushed my teeth. I dislike brushing my teeth, but I'm going to have to do it twice this morning. Talk about a crisis.

On a side note, my girlfriend finally made a new post - you can view her blog in my right sidebar somewhere. It was her first post in about 6 weeks. She even took the time to alter her layout a little bit. I love her.

My Only March Break Journey

I went somewhere on Friday. The place will be undisclosed, but I slept there overnight on Friday. Since GO buses are a rarity on Saturdays (which is stupid) I had to find another way home. I had to take a bus to get to GO Station (#1), a GO Bus to GO Station (#2), a GO Train to GO Station (#3), a Mississauga Transit to a Mississauga-Brampton terminal, and 2 Brampton Transits to get home. So after getting to GO Station (#1), I was left alone and had to find my way home using the aforementioned route. It was my first time having to take this route, but I had to do it in order to get home. It was well worth it and I might as well talk about it. It's better than doing Physics.

Like I said, I was dropped off at GO Station #1 and I was on my GO Bus to GO Station #2. I didn't really know where I was going, but fortunately someone got on the bus and was headed to the same GO Station #3 where I was headed. I took notice of his bright red shirt and scrawny look (ashlee's type). Anyways, I drank a bit of the Nestea that I had in my bag and I stayed awake the whole time. I was in the front of the bus and paid attention to everything the GO Bus driver was saying. She was in contact with other people, I guess they were people from the "main" office. They were mentioning that there were track difficulties of some sort at GO Station #2. I was already worried about getting lost using a perfectly planned out route and this just had to happen. The GO Bus driver made an announcement that, "Due to track problems", everyone boarding the GO Train had to take another GO Bus to some other GO Bus Station in order to take a train from there (aka another route that I was unfamiliar with). This really, really confused me and I started to panic - only in my head of course. I figured that the guy in the red knew what he was doing since he was headed to the same GO Bus Station #3 as I was. Anyways, we got to the Go Station #2 and the bus driver made another announcement that the track was miraculously fixed and to board the train on Track 4. I got out of the bus and, just for safe measure, I spoke to the guy in the red. I asked him if he was headed to GO Station #3 and he nodded, so I followed him. Kind of freaky, but whatever, I wasn't going to risk getting lost. Little did I know that everyone was headed on the same GO Train, lol. Anyways, we were all at Track 4 when a new announcement was made. "Everyone headed to GO Bus Station #3, head to Track 2." Everyone rushed out, since the train was set to leave in 1 minute. So after some pushing and shoving, I'm pretty sure we all made it. I got on the train safely and my journey continued.

I was on the GO Bus and there were a bunch of loud people, it was annoying. Surprisingly enough, they were not black. I'm not racist, but let's get real, they fit the stereotype. From my point of view, all I could see was 1 asian, those typical ones you see everywhere in Canada. They act "gangster" / cool, but they don't dress "gangster" or nerdy (or cool). Anyways, their loud-talking and swearing annoyed me all the way to GO Station #3, so I couldn't sleep and I was too lazy to pull out my laptop. Sure enough, we got to GO Station #3 safely and my journey continued again.

I got to GO Station #3 and the noisy group on the bus was revealed. The aforementioned asian was accompanied with another asian with long hair (enough to cover most of his face), a brown guy and a random-looking white guy. Since their (and my) Mississauga Transit was at the terminal already, they decided to be cool and jump over the fence. 3 of them made it over successfully, but since the brown kid was quite chubby, he didn't make it over. I laughed out loud at him, but didn't climb the fence since my bag weighed about 17.3 pounds. He ran as fast as he could to get to his friends and catch his bus. I calmly walked out of the station and still had 2 minutes to spare. It turns out climbing over the fence was a waste of effort and strength since the bus never left for another 2 minutes. The bus driver wasn't even inside of the bus. Eventually, the bus driver did get on his bus and I walked in. Being the idiot that I am, I paid $3 CAD for the bus fare. Little did I know, if you have a GO Train ticket (which I had), you only had to pay 60 cents, since it was considered a semi-transfer. Well too late, I had already paid my 3 dollars. I sat down in the middle of the bus and the posse sat at the back. I began to fall asleep, so I pulled out a book, "Fifth Business," since I had to read it for school anyway. I figured that I might as well read it since I had time. I read slowly because if I rushed I wouldn't understand a thing. Later on during my bus ride, I saw someone I knew was familiar. It didn't occur to me right away, but I soon realized that I see him everyday of the week - when I have school, that is. He was the person that always got off the Brampton bus when I get on the Brampton bus on my way home from school (sorry if that's confusing). Anyways, the bus finally got to the Mississauga-Brampton terminal and my journey was almost finished.

All that's left was 2 more Brampton transits and I'd be home. I guess today was my lucky day, since all of my transferring stops were timed perfectly. I never ever had to wait for the bus or train and I loved that. I got on my Brampton bus and was on my way home. I began to read my book again and altogether only finished about 12 pages in the span of around 1 hour, 15 minutes. Pathetic, I know, but there were a bunch of distractions in addition to me falling asleep. Anyways, there was a black kid on the bus and, to no one's surprise, he was loud. He was about 13 years old and had the nerve to play music out loud since he was probably too poor to afford headphones. Thankfully, he got off after playing about 3 songs; I noticed that he played 2 Soulja Boy songs and "You Got It Bad" by Usher. Nice playlist buddy. About 10 minutes later, I got off my bus and, again, perfect timing for my next bus. I got on my last Brampton transit bus and was finally home.

Now that was my only journey of my whole March Break and it only lasted around 3 hours or so. T'was a great night and well worth the journey.

Result of Nikki Not Being Home On a Saturday

So, Nikki wasn't home for pretty much the whole day. This is what happens when she's not home. My day:

-   I woke up at around 9 or something, i don't really remember. I woke up because Nikki called me and that's all i remember.
-   I think she called again later after she finished showering, again i don't really remember.
-   I went back to sleep.
-   I woke up at 12:27 p.m. to eat breakfast (Bacon, Ham and Eggs, yum).
-   I went back to sleep.
-   I woke up at around 2:25 p.m. and read my whole unread list on G-Reader.
-   I went back to sleep.
-   I woke up at around 3 because some guy called me and then i went back to sleep.
-   I woke up at 3:50 and decided to blog. After that i went to sleep again.
-   I woke up at around 5 something because Nikki called me and woke me up.
-   I ate grapes. After 2 plates, i went back to sleep.
-   When Nikki got home, at around 8, i woke up since she called me.
-   Since then, I uploaded some pictures on Facebook, watched Star Wars (on Spike TV), watched 2 Family Guy episodes online, watched half of the last The Office episode online (cause of Megavideo's time limit thing) and also watched the UFC 96 main event (yes, Rampage).
-   I've also been reading Fifth Business [again] for the past 3 hours (really only 2, due to clocks pushing forward or whatever).

That concludes my day, very sleep-full and very boring-full. Time for me to go to bed yet again. I was supposed to do homework today, but clearly that didn't happen. Tomorrow will be a Physics-filled day. I'm mildly excited.

Loneliness

Another English writing folder thing, but it'll be the last one i post so don't worry.

Extended Definition Poen

Loneliness
is not the same as being alone; is a state of emptiness
is hopelessness, a sense of insecurity
caused by alienation, grief, abuse
results in resentment, depression, suicide
is the current economic crisis that worsens
into
Isolation

Poem Fuelled By Anger

I had to make a poem about anger for my English writing folder, so i thought i'd decide to share it with you guys, since i already handed it in. That and i'm also completely bored. It was a cause and effect poem, hence why it is structured the way it is. It's kind of lame and fairly tech-related in a way (referring to Internet going down). I also related it to Starcraft (tasting sweet victory), although i make it sound like a sport. Anyways, no need to make fun of it, it was for school.

Anger
When you are at the mall
Waiting, waiting patiently
And that special friend
Never shows up.
When you are doing your homework
Worth 40 percent of your overall mark
And your Internet goes down
For the rest of the night.
When you can taste sweet victory
Like your mother's fresh home-cooked meal
And one silly mistake
Costs you the game.
When you find out that
Your colleagues are cheaply chitchatting
About you behind your back.

Life is a journey
And you may go through mood swings.
You will feel unhappy
Even push those close to you away.
Being angry gives others
A negative vibe.
Whether you decide
To show it or not
You will feel different
Inside and out.

I Really Hate Physics

This is just the beginning too. I hate Physics. I've been staring at the same question for 1 hour+ right now and i don't get it. I hate drawing FBDs, but that's because i don't know how. I'm screwed for my quiz tomorrow and am also screwed for the next 5 years, since i'm going to have to deal with this crappy course throughout University. It's really retarded and i don't know how else i can describe it. Really, really pointless. Too many numbers and letters. I'm probably going to have to stay after school, cause i don't get the past 3 lessons. It's so stupid. I think i should give up. My sickness is also bringing me down. It's causing drowsiness, my eyes are already starting to get droopy. I can't stay focused and i want to go to sleep. I'm not going to say, "Fuck my life," because everyone already says it too much. I'm just babbling on and on about nothing really. I'm not even going to bother editing this because i don't really care if i have on-going sentences and what not. Blogging is pointless, sort of. I lied. But, it causes me to procrastinate more, so that's a negative. My girlfriend won't even talk to me cause apparently music is more important than i am. And she was listening to [ew] Jonas brothers. All-in-all, it's been a pretty rough day so far. I want to go to bed.

Sickness

The weekend where i was planning to catch up with my Physics homework and i feel like crap. My immune system has failed me and on the worst possible weekend. I feel so lazy, although i did finish my Calculus and English homework today. I am not really in the mood to do Physics and shovel the snow. Lame. I'm so lazy and i'm currently procrastinating. Hence why i'm making this blog post instead of doing my Physics right now. Damn it! Anyways, i shall go review my Calculus then it's time for the dreadful Physics nightmare.

My Girlfriend Has Potential

The title says it all. My girlfriend has potential. But, wait, potential for what? Potential to be a gamer. As you may already realize i am extremely bored, since MWC is done for the day. So, i'm going to talk about my girlfriend. She's been wanting to play this game called Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life, for a long time now. Just about as long as i've been waiting for Starcraft 2 to come out. Well, maybe not that long. She was looking forward to playing it in the Summer, but she couldn't find the game. So, she blamed her brother for losing it. She also wanted to play this game during Christmas time, but she still hadn't found it. Well, she decided to clean her room one day and came across the game. It was under her bed. Haha!

This brings me to my main topic. My girlfriend has potential to be a gamer. She has barely moved all day. For the past 6 hours she's been on her bed playing Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life for GameCube. What a loser. She's changed positions on her bed a couple of times though (LOL), since that's her comfy chair. Her gaming kind of reminds me of my WoW'ing back in the day and it just fascinated me that even she could get hooked to games. She dislikes when i play games, but she wants me to be happy and she let's me do what i want. So, if i'm playing games, she rarely stops me. I'm also an excellent multi-tasker so it's not like i'm ignoring her. But she, on the other hand, is not a very good multi-tasker. We're on Skype right now and i just tested her multi-tasking skills. I said, "Hey!" to her and she answered after a 4.7 second pause. Usually though, she wouldn't hear me, so it was surprising that she actually answered. She has unlocked this gamer potential just recently because she has this whole week off, and so do most of you reading this, because it's 'Reading Week.' Maybe one day we'll be able to play a game together. WTB (Wanting to Buy) Harvest Moon for the PS3 PS2. I still love her though, even though she's in this trance playing this game. It's like we've switched roles today; she's playing games and i'm bored, not doing anything. It's okay though, i'm glad to see that she's so into it. She looks happy, even though her yams just died. I still love you loser =D I'll be your friend, just in case someone in the game doesn't want to be.

Gangstas

Ahh, gotta love the sight of fake thugs walking around everywhere. Especially in Mississauga. It's funny how people can claim that they are "gangsta" just because they blaze, have a bunch of shoes and hats. But, if they were to go to a real 'hood' in the US, they would instantly get their ass jumped and robbed for everything they have. You wouldn't even be able to protect yourself. Especially when your so-called "gang" consists of about 6 asians, all of which brag about failing classes. A gang called Triple K? But, you call yourself "niggaz." It makes me wonder sometimes. Mississauga is just too kind sometimes. But congratulations! Seriously. I find it hilarious, to be honest. I'm not saying that i'm "gangsta" because i know i am not. I just hope somewhere in your life, someone teaches you all a lesson. Some people are just hopping on this SB Dunk and Fitted's bandwagon. Really? You have 16 pairs of shoes? What a waste of money. Actually, you know what, that does not really matter to me. It is your money and you can spend it however you like. But, i think it's a waste of money. You make your mom and dad pay for your gas and car insurance and you have a job. Some of you people out there just need to wake up. Help your family out instead of pumping that Kelly Clarkson in your car, cause i know that's your favourite song. You snub me in the mall in front of Mr. Sub like you don't know me. Even though i cleaned up your fucking mess everyday in the summer, since you used to come over every single day. He'll probably even somehow read this, but he's not going to say shit. That's because we don't talk anymore and if he were to comment, it's not like i'd reply. He's changed. I'm glad though, to see you happy with your life and it stills annoys me to this day that our friendship ended the way it did. But i mean, people move on and sometimes you just have to learn to suck it up, just like i did. Since you can't even clean up for yourself. It was kind of annoying that you assumed that i'd clean your fucking mess up all the time. Oh well, you were my best friend and i did that shit cause it didn't really matter at the time. I knew that we'd be good friends in the future, but it looks like i was wrong. Ever since i moved it has not been and will not ever be the same ever again. It sucks, but what can i really do. I kind of drifted from the main topic, but whatever. He's one of those "gangstas." What a joke.

My Letter to Physics

Dear Physics,

I hate you at times. I know that we are on break right now. I am also aware that you are "the science of matter and energy and their interactions," but you are just too difficult to handle right now. You and all of your many [derived] equations makes it extremely hard to figure you out. Sometimes, even the smartest of people have trouble figuring out exactly what your answer is, since you seem to be giving mixed signals. I've had you in my arms for only 4 days and i am already having problems dealing with you; this could be due to the fact that i haven't held you for over 2 years. It doesn't feel the same. I am looking back and reviewing what you told me 2 years ago, but i just can't understand you. I don't understand why you choose to speak in numbers and not words. You briefly explained Vector Components to me, but i still don't understand what you mean. I'm currently having problems trying to figure out your Final Velocity, even though you've told me your Initial Velocity and Average Acceleration and Time. Why are you putting me through these tests? It's been over 3 hours, yet i've only done 25 questions. If my calculations are correct, that is an Average Velocity of 8.33 homework questions / hour. Please tell me if that is correct; if it is not i can Change. I am having my doubts about you, but i'm going to be with you for the next 4 years of my life. If we're having problems now, Physics, how will we work out in the future? Will this relationship work in the long-term? Can you handle all of my frustration that i will let out on you as Time passes by? I really do hope that i can figure you out because i've been studying you for, what seems like, forever. I really hope you do understand because i am trying my best. But, will my best be good enough for you?

From,
Isaiah

The Birthday Party

I went to a party on the night of January 31, 2009. It was Direct's (codename) birthday. Direct used to be one of my best friends, but that changed throughout the high school years. Anyways, it was his 19th birthday party. Me and my girlfriend decided to check it out, since there were free drinks. We got there and my ex-girlfriend opened the door for us, her name is Purpz. As soon as me and my girlfriend walked in, Direct was already throwing up and Purpz was taking care of him. On a side note, Direct and Purpz are cousins. For the first hour, the party was dull. It was starting to get more interesting as more people showed up. It was good to see the boys again, since it has definitely been a while. Luckily, my girlfriend and Purpz actually ended up getting along quite well, which was surprising. Anyways, more and more unknown people continued to show up, but it was okay. Direct's cousins showed up and it was no surprise that they were a bunch of "gangstas." More about "gangstas" in a future blog. Anyways, we watched UFC on illegal satellite. Me and my girlfriend ended up splitting a disgusting Budweiser and that's when my drinking started. After the Budweiser i had some Green Apple and Blueberry Smirnoff. I can actually still taste the Blueberry Smirnoff and it's been more than 24 hours since i've consumed it. Throw in about a bit more than half a cup of Grey Goose and i was done for the night. While this was happening a white guy jumped off of the deck and did a front flip into the snow. I don't really know how high the deck was because i told my girlfriend to take a video of it for me. Basically, i didn't witness it for myself. Anyways, i was sitting down and some girl behind me almost threw up on me, which was just a bit disgusting. She got some of it on my sweater, which my caring girlfriend cleaned for me =). I can't recall what happened the entire party, so i'm just trying to type down what i remember. Oh yes, a beer bottle shattered on the pool table because someone shot the cue ball while the beer bottle was on the table. Beer spilled on the pool table and i was actually stupid and clumsy enough to end up spilling Grey Goose on the table afterwards. Uhh, i didn't really get to talk to Direct too much, but i didn't expect to anyway. What else happened? Lots of smoking outside, i didn't join. Oh yeah, back to UFC. After the boring pre-fights, it was finally time for the main event. We watched the GSP vs BJ Penn fight. I actually missed the whole fight, so i'm going to watch it this week, during my spare. My girlfriend informed me that GSP won, so that was a good thing. She told me that the fight was boring, which was upsetting. My girlfriend took care of me while i was tipsy, so i thank her for that. I also remember getting a bit PDA while i was tipsy, but i mean, that's okay right? I think so. Before Purpz left, my girlfriend told me that we both hugged her, which i completely do not remember. My girlfriend said i had a "blackout," whatever that is. On the way home, i threw up in the car because it was a pretty bumpy ride. My girlfriend also mentioned that i was saying things in my sleep and that i threw up again when i got home. Overall, the party wasn't as bad as i expected it would be. This was the first day where i can say that i actually drank. I'm usually not the drinking type, but i guess that day was an exception. I was actually complimented on my drinking, the word "champ" was mentioned.

I may miss the past, but i'm definitely looking forward to the future. I did enjoy the time i had with the boys, but it was probably a temporary thing. Although, i do hope that i keep in touch with a select few of them.

New Semester

Since this is just my thoughts blog, i don't always have to talk about something meaningful all the time. My schedule is as follows:

8:30 a.m. - 9:45 a.m. -> English
9:50 a.m. - 11:50 a.m. -> Spare
11:55 a.m. - 1:10 p.m. -> Calculus
1:15 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. -> Physics

Last year, i got a 70 in English and it was actually my best course last year. My average last year was a pathetic 61.7%. Yes, i know i did terrible last year, but i've turned that around this year. Although, my marks still aren't great, they were a significant upgrade from last year. My average, this year, in Semester 1 was 72.7%, so i thought that was a pretty good semester, even though i know i could have done better. I hope that i can maintain an average of 80 this semester, so that i can bump my overall average to a 78.7%, which would get me into University easily. Even though i only need a 70 - 75% to get into University, it doesn't hurt to be above the required average. Anyways, like i said, i have English for first period and i hope that i can maintain an 80 in that class. I feel that blogging has, at least a little bit, improved my English skills. For Calculus, i should be able to bump my old 62% to an 80% easily. Keep in mind that my average was so low last year because of the devilish World of Warcraft. Anyways, my toughest course will definitely be Physics because i haven't taken Physics for 2 years and it's the only course that i didn't do last year. I already know how my typical day will go, if everything stays the same. In English, i will just do my work and stay quiet all period, since i know absolutely no one in that class. From 9:50 a.m. - 11:05 a.m. i am going to read my Google Reader on my laptop in the library. From 11:05 a.m. - 11:50 a.m. Sarah from my Religion class last semester will join me in the library, so that i`ll have someone to talk to for a bit. For Calculus, i will be bored, but i`ll listen to the teacher anyway. I`ll probably also do my work while he teaches, since i know the whole semester already. For Physics, i will have to actually listen to the teacher, since it`s a new course. I might even end up getting suspended this year because they have a new `policy`on lateness, which sucks for me because i have to take 3 buses to school.

The good thing about this semester is that it`s my last semester at my high school. I`m tired of the boring everyday high school life and i just wished i had tried last year, so that i`d already be in University. Last year was such a waste of a whole school year. There`s nothing to blame except World of Warcraft myself.

Being Two-Faced

So, this is my first post on this new blog of mine. I will talk about some of my thoughts on a certain subject and i might even throw in a summary of my day. If i feel like, that is. This new blog won't be as updated as my other techy blog, since i won't have something to talk about every single day.

My first blog post will be about being two-faced. Everyone knows another person who is two-faced. Most of the people on this planet are two-faced in some way. What does being two-faced mean? I feel that being two-faced is when one person exercises the act of making 2 separate parties happy simultaneously. While the person is busy making one 'party' happy, the person also talks badly about the other 'party.' No, i did not pull that definition from a site and yes, i did make up that definition on my own. Sorry, if the definition doesn't make complete sense, but you should get the gist of what i am saying. I've known a couple of two-faced people in my life, but one that certainly stands out is Mr. Hill. That may not be his real-life name, but that will be his codename for this blog. So, Mr. Hill was two-faced to pretty much everyone he was in-contact with. He'd suck up to anyone he was 'friends' with, including me, but he hid it really well. When i found out that he was being two-faced to me, i quickly shut him out. I didn't really pay attention to whatever he did, even though we were good friends in Elementary School. I don't really know where i am headed with this rant but, basically, most people are two-faced in some way. Everyone should keep a close eye on your friends because you never know who you can trust or who will talk badly about you behind your back. Luckily, i now know who my true friends are and i know who to trust and who not to trust. Since, i learned about this two-faced-ness at a young age, it prepared me for the future. Shout-outs go to 2 of the most important people in my life today: my best friend, ashlee (not capitalized because that's how she likes it) and my other best friend, but also my girlfriend, Nikki. I'm looking forward to a new start next year in University because it's kind of sad that i only talk to you two. Well, it's not sad, since i am happy that i have the both of you there for me all the time =D.
