Whomped!

The Toronto Maple Leafs make me cry. So much in fact that I won’t be wearing Blue OR White until we win a playoff round. So it’s pastels and green clothes for the next five years. Ahhhhhhhh! It wasn’t bad enough that the Maple Leafs make me cry every single time they make my blood pressure sky high though additional overtime periods! Why can’t they just win games in regulation periods? Why can’t they just win? Where were you Dougie? When we needed you! Eh? WHEEEEEEERRRRRREEEEEE?!?!?!?!?!?!?

While I sit here, reading about the freshly eliminated Maple Leafs, I just hope that the Wild can beat the Avs so that all the good teams in the league will have been eliminated and every hockey fan on the continent will be pissed off with me.

But this is too depressing. Instead I’ll enjoy the fact that school’s out for summer! To celebrate I bought Miyazaki’s Spirited Away (2003 Oscar for best animated feature length film). I’m going to watch it tomorrow and we’ll see what happens with that.

What’s this about Panties?

I just found a great new site where you can get free porn just from posting on a message board! It’s really a new unheard of concept. You gotta see it to believe it! It’s the new hiyo.org Pantie Rantie. It can be found on the hiyo.org forum here.

Never has it been so hip and “in” to post on a message board. You should try it out and be the hit of the playground AND get porn! It’s great! You’ll find me there right now earning my porn!

2A Mech

I just finished my second last final for 2a mechanical engineering, so my term is almost over. Although I think that i did alright, I’m going to use this post to criticize my study habits over the past four months.

Before this term started, I was pretty convinced that I’d work pretty hard. Maybe even read ahead in my courses so that I’d actually understand lecture material. It wasn’t even that I planned ahead to work harder, but I just had the feeling that I’d want to. I’m not sure where those feelings came from, maybe it was because I hadn’t had to study for four months. But as the term went along, I found myself sticking to the old routine: procrastinate like people can only dream, and squeak by. I found myself surrounded by distractions, whether it was my friends, the boob tube, video games, or (please save me) the internet. All my evenings sort of just flew by.

Fast forward to my final exams. I’ve been studying the bare minimum (by my standards at least), and I don’t think I’ll have marks anywhere as close as my last term, where i was one and a half percent from deans list. I don’t want it to sound like I’m complaining about A’s, because I’m not. I’m recognizing my decline in effort and interest in my studies, which should I let decline, could really affect my career. I’m just writing this to sort of give myself a wake up call, and that I should really take this university stuff a little more seriously than I have. I do have a whole life after university after all.

Being the optimist that I am, I’ll also recognize the accomplishments from this term. I only missed three lectures all term. I’ll probably have a somewhat decent mark to keep me in the top 25% or so of the class. I did all my homework, and although I worked a lot less than last term, it was still more than the work I did in my first term.

I slacked off, but I managed to stay somewhat on course. I survived some truly bad teaching, and some boring courses, though I should have been able to get better results regardless. 3.5/5

moveable type

i’ve moved my blog to publish through movable type. so i had to give titles to all my older entries which was interesting.

i’m also going to try to experiment with a new posting style where i review everything in my life. i’m not sure if it’s really practical to quantify everything i blog about with a score out of five, but it seems interesting to me.
