What a long time, friend.
Many have asked me why I haven’t updated lately. Well, 3 people anyway. The answer is that I don’t want to.
In my last update, I mentioned trying to get the webcam to work. Well obviously I didn’t. Something’s wrong with the detection. Anyway, I swore I’d try again the next time I had a day off. Sadly, that wasn’t too soon. The previous previous paycheque, I logged 96 freaking hours. The last one, was 88. These are all two week periods mind you. Some of these were 10~15 hour days. I love my job, but it’s making me really tired. That’s reason number one I haven’t updated.
Number two is not to be disclosed as it is not something I want posted up on a webpage. Number two is still being resolved.
Number three is I just didn’t feel like it. Didn’t have anything to say, much like right now.
A new webpage is in the works. Right now, it’s all pencil & paper concepts but who knows. 1 month? 2 months? It’ll be coming. This look just sucks now.
Don’t judge a book by the price difference between US and Canadian prices
July 15, 2001
because it’s the same book at both prices. I never liked soccer. Well that’s not true, I used to play soccer everyday with some older kids in elementary school. I guess that was about 14 years ago now. Since then, I’ve never touched it, watched it, followed it, nor touched it with a 10 foot pole. I liked hockey better.
But today, I saw my first ever soccer game in a stadium and it was quite exciting. The Vancouver Whitecaps (formerly the 86′ers) whooped the Portland Timbers 4 – 0. It was a joke. The Timbers got about 2 good shots on goal by my count. The Whitecaps basically kept the ball the entire time. Plus, TWO penalty shots in the game. TWO!!! That’s like winning the 649 and then losing it all and then winning it all back in the same day.
Conclusion: I enjoy soccer a lot more now. Probably only live at a stadium because i still think watching it on tv is still stupid. Go Whitecaps!!!

As some of you know, my
Most of all, I hate how that particular date is made to be something special just because I happened to be born on that date. I didn’t have any say on whether or not it should be that date. It just happened. I mean, if I discovered the cure for male pattern baldness on that date, it would give at least some meaning to celebrate. But causing my poor mother to go into the worst pain most women will ever experience is just not the right reason.
Even though I feel so blah about b-days, Dennis and Shannon got me a great great gift. It’s my own webcam! It’s like they read my mind! I was going to launch my second webpage, http://www.sexlikethere’snotomorrow.com and I needed a webcam. Lo and behold! Here’s one lying on my couch when I got back home today. Tilt your head slightly to the right to see the future position of live, rapid updating sex scenes! (I need to get USB something something before I can use it). Thanks d00ds!
I’m still watching that Bruce Lee movie, Justin. Thanks!

From now on, I’ll just post somewhat interesting links in this section. The blue box will be for other crap.
- since Justin posted that duck story (which he stole from me!), I’ll post this cat story. It’s heart warming too. [here]
- now, would you rather have a gasoline tank explode, or a tank filled with hydrogen explode? (Remember the Hindenburg) [here]
- don’t take meat away from an angry chinese butcher [here]
- if you voluntarily run in front of a stampede of bulls with sharp sharp horns and one happens to run that sharp sharp horn through your left thigh, you won’t get any sympathy from me. [here]
- here’s what they found (picture to the right) [here]
My God It’s That Expensive?

See the headline? The headline is back. The headline was hard to get back, but it’s back. Hurrah for headline.
I’ve been at UBC for 3 years now and every year I pay for a parking pass. Every year it’s the same price basically. This year the total comes to just over $600. When I saw this, I thought to myself, “Six hundred fucking dollars to park at a fucking parkade?” For some reason, this year I decided that $600 was just too much. I still bought the damn thing, but I just think it’s too much.
The reason for this is probably because we’re halfway through the summer now (I know… sad) and parking everyday at B-Lot or the Pacific Spirit something Fraser Lot at $3.25 and $4 seems a lot more economical than the $600 for the year. Also… I was informed of a secret parking area that’s always free and never empty. It’s a little farther away than B-Lot and it’s a little more secluded. I found out about it through a student who was amazed that "you’re a canadian and you don’t know this?" No. Sorry, not all canadians know every nook and cranny in Vancouver. Idiot.

Thanks goes to Justin for a pirated copy of a Bruce Lee flick. He bought it at a chinese vendor somewhere in the chinese area of Toronto, you know, Chinatown. Geez, I’m getting a strong suspicious feeling that it’s an imposter in the movie.

I want to go back to school now.

Yay! A Sunday and I’m staying home. I really miss staying home. Not to say that I haven’t been home for awhile, but it feels like it. Too much work and no play make for an insane mass murdering machine gun toting maniac (literary devices are fun like carnivals to use and a million times easier).
No dragonboat practice today, on account that everyone is gone. Yay. My body aches. Happy birthday Dad. What a short update huh?

That’s too long without an update so here is one.
I’m dead tired. I was just looking at what I did this summer and I noticed that I’ve been working and dragonboating everyday since June 9th. Which means, that for almost a month, I’ve had no days off!
The Banff trip was really good. Fun was had by all (and in some cases, too much alcohol). Some things that sucked were the 9 people in our room, the 3 girls who drank too much and we had to haul their asses back to our room, the stupidity of myself when I slipped on some dirt and scratched my ear, cheek, and area right above my eye with a hanging branch, and lastly, the one hour delay our flight encountered. The good things were the students were awesome this time around, I got lots of hiking in, tonnes of scenery pictures (i don’t like taking pictures of myself), and a big party on Canada Day – which was when the overdrinking took place.
I didn’t sleep much over the trip, maybe 4 or 5 hours max per day. Then the day after I got back, I worked a 10hr day, and then another full day. Today was my first short day for awhile. Tomorrow is short too, a couple meetings and some planning.
I’m really bored of this webpage. It’s too ugly now.
