Common Walk to Work

So I exit my bed, after the alarm goes off a 2nd and 3rd time
I eat a leftover slice of pizza, and a bowl of oatmeal
Raisens and Spice to be exact
Pretty aweful, but not as bad as Peaches n Creme
But alas

I check my email, go on MSN to make sure a coworker is at the office
Jeff, ruining my plans of staying home
Just kidding
I'm a valued employee

I exit my house
Porch, snow
Front yard, mound of snow
My car, somewhere in the middle
Up the road, a truck struggling to move as it's stuck in the middle of the road

I go into my house and produce gloves for myself
My good gloves are still wet from John's taboozening adventure a few days earlier
So I go with my hobo gloves
Ya know, the ones that are mittens AND gloves via velcro and love(velcro = love)
I go outside, a neighbour is already helping the guy
But no, I already have the damn gloves, I'm being a good person

I get to the staircase of my porch, it has become a slope of snow
I know stairs exist, and gaps of not solid ground are in front of me
But no.
A life decision must be made
You must defy all odds Jason
You must walk down...
THE STAIRS OF APPARENT SNOW COVERED DEATH(TM)!!!!?!

And so I did
Anticlamically

It's when the level of snow increased by my car that things got interesting
I walk Mission Impossible style along my car, grasping for stability
Knee deep in snow
Motherfuck
I get to the street, wipe off snow, and I'm on my final mission

I Get to the stuck man's car
I needed something to break the ice, so that I'm not just pushing on some random dude's car
(imagine if people actually did that?)
(Hello friend! Nice to meet you! *pushes car with a smile*)
(Anyways)
So I say "Gotta love the snow eh?"

I don't know why I chose to ask that question
Obviously he did not love the snow
In fact, he was likely quite furious at the snow
And thus, he was likely quite furious with me for saying that
Come on Jason, pull it together!

So as a good cemeritan and an engineer, I use my trusty steel toed boot to help
And I wipe the snow from in front of his tires
Making a nice slope to drive on up onto
And make it safely onto the tire grooves that will lead him to safety
Me and Neighbour1 proceed to create a cantilever with our bodies and apply a force parelle to the accelation, and also perpendicular to the plane of action
Erm
We pushed
Hard
I guess that's what I was trying to say there..

We pushed for a couple minutes
At one point Neighbour1 turned to speak to me
"I hope we don't gotta push this thing all the way to Wyandotte"
I lawled inside
But outside it was a "heh"
People can't know when I find them funny
How else will I enslave them for world domination?
I know right
It wouldn't make sense any other way

So the car's unstuck, and I see it drive up the road to where another car is currently stuck
I think to myself"
Maybe I should walk the other way to school..."
(note: I also thought this befor I got my gloves originally)
(note2: I'm a good person)

I continue walking towards them
I take a moment to acknowledge two quite infamous houses on my street
a) Jesus Gnome Aquarium House
b) Christmas Vomit House

Case Study A
I believe it was early November
They built a setting in the front yard
I presumed it was a Nativity Scene or whatever the Jesus birth thing is
But, they had put garden gnomes in there ...
It looked like they had Santa hats, but I don’t think that gives off the right impression
Eventually it became a Jesus birth scene
I assume they executed the gnomes

Case Study B
This fucking house has too many of those aweful inflatable Christmas decorations
AND They hate children
How do I know this?
Their front yard consists of 7 Santas
THAT'S FUCKING BULLSHIT
There is only one Santa
And he's not that pedo in the mall
Assholes
Way to confuse kids
And one looks like a reindeer is giving birth to Santa (see opening image)
Right out of his brick patterned vagina

Anyways, back to the story
I’m walking to the end of the block
The car backed back to the start of the street
The truck maneuvered onto Wyandotte
I almost beat him walking to the end of the block
I walk past one of the owners of the Christmas Vomit house
A local Chinese restaurant owner has a snow plow for his sidewalk
GOD FORBID he’d do any other sidewalk
Or part of the snow plagued road
I mean, a machine to move snow quickly
Let’s only use it minimally since they are practical and of abundance
-_-

I start walking on Wyandotte
I usually reflect during this 10-15 minute walk
I was humming an Against Me song to myself
Thinking philosophically;
Me/Amy/Aaron watched the end to this anime Evangelion the other day
It’s a very philosophical ending
Makes you think about why you exist and what’s around you
Pretty much it makes everything your decision, even reality
And in that sense you could question what reality is
But there’s no morality into question, which I enjoy
That’s why Nietzsche is so dumb
I think his theory of creating your own set of morals is fine
But he’s just so bitter about it that you know he’s just trying to justify his own life
And so, his philosophy just seems so subjective
But alas, most things are
But alas, back to my point

I was thinking about myself
With respect to people
And with respect to my place in my life right now
For the longest time I had felt like I myself didn’t belong where I was
But now I’m sort of numb to it
I believe that I should be where I am, right now
I don’t know how long
But I’ll know when it’s time to go
I’ve figured that much out

Then I was thinking about which people fit into my life right now
I’ve been getting the feeling from some people that they come off as being temporary to me
Example?

I’ve been looking forward to Adam returning
I don’t know why
We never really got close till the end of this summer
And we don’t talk all that often
But he just feels like a person that I’d want around
Loyal, interesting, likeminded
There’s so much in common
But also so much we can learn and teach to each other
He’s someone I can see that fits in my life

People who seem temporary
I feel bad for saying it cause I do (or did) see them as friends
But Abby and Josh feel very temporary to my life
Abby moreso than Josh
Josh is loyal and I could see him one day becoming a part of my life again
But right now it seems like he’s thinking too much like Abby
And Abby does not fit
I’ve been making an effort to force myself to think she does
But she hasn’t for a while
Not since she started be friends with… well ya know
I even went to her jazz ensemble
But it feels like our friendship is just going through the motions
The Josh think might be more due to how he doesn’t fit in with band
And we’re all presuming she’ll leave when we ask him to
So I dunno

That’s another topic
Band seems like it belongs
But whenever I think of something permanent or in the future I think out of this area
If only you could reach you dreams and bring things with you heh
I dunno

I’ve just been thinking a lot of personal worth
And of meaningfulness in my life
And the lives of others!S
o friends (aka both of you LAWL)
Think about it
Who do you feel belongs?
You two do to me
Hense me updating for just you

Motherfuckin Riot *+ added to end*

It's been another two weeks
Let's do this

Good news first
Just got back from my trip to Chicago
I love this city
Basically Toronto, but bigger and better
And easier to get around via subways and the L and omg
We walked through the Theatre District
And Chinatown
And the Magnificant Mile of shopping
And I wandered the airport by myself for hours
I love this city!
It's so huge and epic
Culture and things to do and things to see
I could definately see myself living there at some point
Sigh

And then Sunday
RIOT FEST
>my favorite 5 sets of the night
-Mighty Mighty Bosstones
-Teenage Bottle Rocket
-ALL
-HorrorPops
-Valient Thor

>my least favorite 3 sets of the night
-Leftover Crack *fucking aweful live*
-Dummy
-Overrated

Dear Leftover Crack,
You have good songs. I enjoy them
But I've heard Windsor local bands play them better than you did
This thought occured to me 4 times during your set
Even the Choking Victim songs were bad; and those are technically covers too!
So please, accept my list of ways to improve
1) Be less drunk
2) Be less obnoxious
3) Don't do drugs on stage
4) Practice your fuckin timing
5) Learn your instruments/lyrics
Thank you, sincerely Jason

Bosstones were epic
SOOOOO GOOOOOD
Teenage Bottlerocket played a 19 song set in a half hour haha
No stops whatsoever
Best 30 minutes of pop punk in my life!
Sorry Blurt, you've been replaced in my heart :(
ALL had a good set
The venue were assholes though
The show was going long, so they litterally turned the PA and sound system off on ALL
But they continued playing through thier amps for the crowd haha
Then the venue turned those off
And then the crowd decided to sing the songs on their own
It was amazing

AND
Chicago knows how to construct a real circle pit
I love this city omg haha
Detroit can erupt for all I care now

And that's that
Best trip
Jordan got drunk on both the train there AND back haha
I have lots of pictures from the trip
Will post on the face eventually

Kay
Bad news
(Sarah, if you choose to continue reading, speak of this to noone)
(seriously)
(if you doubt your ability, please ne read pas)

Kay so
Me and Amy have been "active" for a couple of weeks now
Everything's been excellent
Then on Thursday of last week, awkwardness
She's also on the pill, so I really shouldn't be freaking out like I am
But, alas
We were in the act, and my protection broke
I noticed right afterwards and became panic prone
Which caused her to panic as well
Cause well, she actually has an anxiety disorder
I was just being... Jason heh
But alas
We were gunna take extra precautions just incase
Next day I went to the Teen Health Centre to get her a morning after thinger
But they wouldn't give me one due to her not being there
Went to go get her
Anxiety, didn't want to go
I try talking to her, (aka texting cause I was home) no dice
Maybe she didn't realize how this could effect our entire lives?
Or maybe she did, hense the anxiety
Either way, I was fuckin pissed
I just felt it was quite irresponsible
I was so upset that when I was cleaning dishes I ended up breaking a glass on accident
Cut my finger pretty deep
Had people bring bandaids over befor leaving for Chicago
Looks like a shark bite
But alas, I had calmed down
She texted me and said that her/her mom were going to get them when she went back to Sarnia
(yeah, her mom knows we're physically active... eep haha)
(apparently she thinks I'm responsible now though, due to my intent and actions)
(but still, ugh haha)
But yeah
When I got back yesterday Amy informed me that the place was closed when they went
And now I'm secretly freaking out again
Her period is this week
Fingers crossed?
Ugh

In other news
I guess my friends (sans Sonia I guess) all enjoy her
I guess Sonia's just not used to her randomness yet
The first time they met was at the rally, and Amy was nervous and quite
And the second time drunk
So... she hasn't really met her yet haha
But I ended up talking to Amy about her
We can start having dinner and long open mic discussions with eachother again
Hooray?
I hope so

PS, she always blows into bottles at random, not just when drunk haha

Backtrack
The one annoying thing about the weekend was Abby/Josh
They were in their own little world the entire weekend
Constantly forgetting what we're doing, what stops, what time, etc etc
Cause they were attached at the wrist, shoulder, etc the entire weekend
Which is cute
Were they not "whispering" (aka talking) at like 330 am
Or were all of the things stated above continuous for 3 days
You don't get tired on a 30 minute subway ride to the hotel
Quit acting like you've never slept in your life!
Annoyed haha

That's it though
My fingers hurt
I'm worried about my job
Audit in Chatham on Friday
Wish me luck

Tipper

UPDATE
Her uterus started hurting today. Hooray!

Anime and A New Dress

So it's been a few weeks since I've updated I suppose
Actually, I know that for a fact
Sonia's been bugging me haha

Two weekends ago me and Amy went up to Sarnia
There's lots of pictures up on facebook
It was fun
Her family and friends are wonderful
The bridge park area there is much more fun than in Windsor
Though, the view of Detroit is oddly beautiful
They have tiny fry stalls under thier two bridges there
Bridge fries
Delicious!
We also went to the beach
I played beach football with her friend Josh and his guy friends
Usually I don't fit in in testosterone activities such as beach football
But it was fun, and I only felt out of shape, didn't show it much haha

The drive went well
Listened to alot of folk punk and bad religion
Defiance Ohio is sweet
As is Mischeif Brew

Me, Sonia and later Amy attended a rally at the U at some point
For the teacher's strike
I'm in support of the teachers completely
I can only image the toll it's taken on them however
The strike has hurt my work ethic and motivation greatly
I'm tired and lazy all the time
No incentive to try
Meh

Amy's roommate went home for a week due to the strike
So... I spent a few nights in Amy's dorm
We bought N64 from gamecycle
Played Mario 64 till the dogs came home
(note: no pets are allowed in dorms :( )
We also started watching some anime
Aaron lent us Neon Genesis-Evangelisis (spelling?)
It's intense

My angst is gone within the relationship
She caught onto my hints recently haha
Though, the hormones in her run 24/7
It's refreshing but tiring haha
But alas, get your minds out of the gutter eh?

Sonia's single now
I feel bad that I'm busy all the time
Though, we've hung out more often this month than we ever had since we've known eachother
So, I guess maybe time just travels slower when on your own?
I just realised it's October
Weird

My ska band plays thier first show on Friday
BRASS KNUCKLES mothafuckas!
Slowly everyone is becoming nervous
I'm anxious, but in a good way
I wanna get up on stage again. I miss it
Josh is losing his mind
I've been going over lyrics with him all week
His timing is attrocious, but he's improving greatly
If only he tried this hard all the time...
Courtney and Amy are both gunna be there
James too according to words on the streets
Should be interesting haha
Come out and dance everyone!
(realizes he has no friends that will read this other than 2 he already told)
:(

In 9 days I'll be on a train toward Chicago
RIOT FEST!
Excitement!
Green Jello is this Saturday
GWAR/Ensiferum is on Saturday the 25th
Yay music!
Apparently Lot 9 Brawl wants to do thier 1st show back soon
With us opening for them
Holler!

Amy has a flaw
She dosn't like theme parks
Due to the anxiety and etc etc
But that's okay...
Having guy time is important too
And besides
She enjoys hockey, so we still have that

We bought John a fighting fish for his bday
Named it Sofie
She's red and gorgeous
Don't worry, it's in his room

Halloween is coming up
Me and Amy picked out costumes already
We're going at 50's styled greaser zombies
Going to be epic!
She got a red dress for it
Noone better leave me alone with her and that dress
Me-ow
I'm hormonal :(
She does look amazing in it though

That's about all I can think of...
When're we doing more stuff for Smash the Glass?
Does Monster Brawl even exist anymore?

Two bedrooms for two

So it's been an interesting weekend
Amy's family came down on Friday
Her best friend Josh came down too
We hooked up her TV in her dorm
I walked around her 10 yr old bro to the bathroom and such
We went to dinner as a group
Her family enjoyed me alot
Made me feel good
Then we got back to the dorm
Me and her walked her bro around campus
We were trying to make him believe it were a school of magic
So Dillion Hall became a mini version of Hogwarts
Aka, I'm awesome

Fun fact
Did you know every building on campus is connected via tunnels?
Fact

Then the family left
Friend, Josh is staying till Sunday when I drop him off at the VIA
We got some drinks and went to a park near laser tag
Drank in a park, went laser tagging, played in arcade
Epic
We wont a bought of lizards and dinosaur toys
Put them on John's things to torchure him
Then we went to my house to watch some Flight of the Conchords
Watched youtube videos first, then hit the TV
After a few episodes, Josh was sleepy
So he went for a walk
Me and Amy were quite angsty and hormonal
Enter scene: John
lawl. Great timing
We was drunk, with people
Lady he made out with and said something lame to her
Something ish of "all I care about is you right now *makes out*"
We laughed out loud haha
But quickly became annoyed and disappeared to our room

There's been some akwardness between John and Amy recently
She used to feel sympathetic for him via online
Befor they met in real life
Befor she realised his manwhoreness haha
But alas
She weirded by him and tends to avoid
Drunken John was an asshole
Came into my room, demanding attention
Wanted her to hug him
She dosn't like touching, nor drunk people
And drunk touching is generally creepy if not hilarious
He was like pinching her waist and demanding her to hug him
She was denying, I was becoming annoyed cause he was insistant
Eventually he gave up and left the room:
"Okay Amy. I see how it is
Have fun with Jason. K bye"

He was smashed
Says he dosn't remember what happened
But at least he appologized the night after
However, for that evening I went with Amy and Josh
(We found him in mid walk)
I stayed the night in the dorm with em
Her roommate was not impressed haha
Nor were her dorm people at the front desk
Josh had forgot his ID in the room earlier in the day
We were nearly denied entrance
Almost had to go back to the house, weird
But alas
Josh slept on the floor
Me and Amy shared her bed
We become evil when seemingly alone in the dark
But alas, that's another story
Ahem haha

Went home in the morning
Showered and packed laundry without speaking to John
Went to the mall with Amy and Josh
Built a Bear for gramma's birthday
Check facebook for pics
We gramma some candle things too
Dropped em back off at the school
Went to gramma's
Mark was my guest
I missed him haha. It's been like 2 weeks since I saw him
It was really fun
The entire family asked me how living on my own was
But alot of them are pissed at the landlord
Our unreplaced fridge
And uncleaned basement
If he dosn't clean it by the end of next weekend, we'll likely get a professional cleaner
And send him the bill afterwards
Or get the health/safety board involved
Cause, this is retarded

After gramma, I went back to windsor
Grabbed Amy/Josh again
Went laser tagging again, more arcade, more lizards haha
Going to make a short film I recon
Then we went to bubble tea
Thier first times
They both enjoyed it
I showed Josh new card games
Jamaican War FTW
Then I dropped em back home

Amy's staying over tomorrow night
Given how last Sunday went, I'm anxious
Should be interesting...
And on that note, this post is over

On the edge of your chair?
I hope so

Where to start...

So I wrote Courtney a long reply to her last LJ journal
And then I deleted my LJ account
I win
She's out of my life
So I can rebuild and live again

Moved in with John last week
First night was frustrating
Just a shakey start however
Life alone is sweet

Fridge don't work
Basement is a scene from SAW
There's no decent way to plug in my computer that isn't a tripping hazard
But life is otherwise awesome

Band is up and going
Tuesdays are practice days hoorah
Been chillin with Sonia lots
When we planning more Smash yo?
My room is complete
Cousin and Josh helped me with the board
Amy helped with posters

Amy
Girl from Sarnia
Met her via John
She had a crush on him till she found out he was boywhoresque
And then she found me adorable
So now we're dating
Talk about closure for the Courtney situation
And talk about renewing for my life
I havn't felt this good in months

She's sweet
We see eachother all of the time
However, I kind of worry that it may end up interferring with others
It's nice that she lives so close
I can fit her into my schedule early
And I'm always up for plans
It's just a lingering thought

We had known eachother for 3 days in real life and I kissed her
We watched Across the Universe with John in the room
And we secretly held hands under our crossed arms
Then we went for a walk along the river
And I kissed her by the final pier of the bridge
She wrote a poem of it the day after:

I was a tiny shaking thing, limbs weak;
voice gone and nerves up in the air
Meshing and mingling together in a giant cluttered mess
all over the place
Even so, you pulled out the tangles and pulled me close to your chest
I am certain you could feel my heart throwing itself into my ribcage
Flailing and franticly beating away like trapped fire flies
Well, I’ll let you take them and put them back into the sky,
They will glow like stars and moons and light our way
Back to understanding

Then I walked her to her dorm
As a voice in the distance starts to yell at me
A friend from a highschool drama class
Persistant that his friend is in danger from the police
I give him my shirt...
Not neccessarily the most romantic walk with a cute girl I had imagined
But I made the best of it haha

Next time I saw her we were in my room
We were putting up posters
And now we're dating
Well, there was more kissing
But you get the point

2 days later she stayed over for the night
Aka, this past Sunday
Monday was her birthday, but that wasn't the matter
Sunday
I still feel the built up hormones from that night

[edits out long story]

She's staying over again this Sunday

I have the story saved on my computer
I promiced her that I wouldn't speak of her to others
We have strong communication
If there's an issue, we will talk to eachother
I'd much prefer it this way I think
As much as I enjoy telling stories...
But perhaps once it blows over I will share the story
It's quite exciting

Her family comes down on Friday, so I'll get to see them
Gramma's bday is on Saturday
So, busy weekend

I'm all tired now from writing the story haha
GDamn hormones
Sigh

Band practice awaits
Chow

SONIA

I'll make you a post tomorrow haha
