10 posts (fuck ya look at all that creativity!)

does this count as a blog posting .... I THINK IT DOES!
....holy fuck im gonna fail

....another post (?)

Apparenly this was saved in my drafts so why not....

soo yet again, i really have nothing to say....
been really busy with school and junk (funny enough that technically these blog posting are assignments as well an im way behind)
soo um...ya ...
that honey badger video was pretty cool...
ah look people are leaving maybe i should to. sigh i stilll got a few assignments to go before i can start my weekend of couch potato-ing...
so i gotta figure out how to put in the meta description and key words and stuff...


a few videos and sound clips of stuff(music) I find amusing. (I do not own nor do I have claim to anything....seriously...don't sue...I got nothing) ....now if I can only figure it out....

GOOD ENOUGH!
*sources: uhh youtube....adventure time and willy wonka....uhh the people who voiced and acted..and I guess the folks who posted ....anyone im forgetting?

....eh...

because I ran out of blog post ideas the moment we were assigned this project, im just going to copy and paste some of my status updates....umm ya....just trying to get shit done at this point.....

"haha If I ever doubted that today was not a day I wanted to work, its the fact that I used the word fuck 4 times in one sentence, that decided it haha
"McDonald toys and a whole lot of fucking shit including a fucking bed and like I fucking guess a mother fucking comb"
(Background info working on a presentation for those new fucking Furbies my own fault, panicked when I realised id forgotten to put any thought into it and would get a 25% deduction if I didn't come up with one by the end of class)"



"Okay this is probably not as big a deal to other folks but it was hell of a suprise for me; taking a break from working, i got off campus wandering around, grabbed a few energy drinks, minding my own business when i catch the smell of weed. I thought nothing of it, "whatever someones got something on them, no big deal". I look around and see a woman with a hijab, wearing a burkah casually pull out... a pre-rolled spliff and smoking it, with a group of people standing not two feet away from her. its not the fact that the personification of a conservative muslim woman was smoking a narcotic its the BALLS on this woman that she did in infront of a parked security car, in broad day light, in public and didnt give a shit!"

"One more day before the heaviest week from hell this semester with only two weeks left to go. I complained, moaned and cursed but on this side of the mountain with the end so near....i would rather go through that a hundred times over...."

"Harry Potter marathon on space....no....its fine, its not like i wanted to do anything today anyway...."

"Holy sweet mother of God (is that politically correct for good Friday?), I just wanna go out and hug the weather! But that means....Id have to go out...and do things.....*shudder"

....im done....ive got to add pictures and crap so....uhh okay...heres to the MINIMUM PASSING GRADE!



 
uhhh I just kinda opened my layout folder on my desktop (at least im organized) and picked the first few images. the random cartoon of a business man was a part of my GIF for monster.ca and the rest are images I used for my PSA for MADD.....
bye.
(I think I just wasted content I could have used for two blog posts..)

....To my reliefs

is that a word? i dont know but now it is.
first off everyone should find this as...wonderful...as i do LAST DAY BEFORE READING WEEK
yaaahooo, i get to catch up on my reading, sleep, visit a few people that i havent seen in a while, sleep, finally get healthy again, sleep, eat all the goodies ive been and sleep!
reminds me of that very popular song
"schoooolllsss out for, a week..."
i know about a few days in id want to kill myself for all the free time but this side of the holidays and probably on the other end id want just one more day off, and then another, then another
GETTING SHIT DONE isnt that just the best (mentioned earlier in simple pleasure but i figured id mention it anyway because its very relavent. Heavy work week, and i mean HEAVY, but i pulled it off and handed it all in (whether i get a good grade is a different story)
when jello sets, i dont know why but im always nervous and then when it comes out sold i kinda sigh and de-clench
(why am i still typing, content dosent count)
up to this point if youve been following me (and i dont know why you would) this is the last blog posting (before the reading week) and once i click that publish button is gonna feel good, like 50 smokes (by the way, i fell of the wagon, oh well)
anyway, i think im done...i think i need to include links so....im just gonna post links to webcomics that i like to visit....
this is one, this is another, oh heres one, thats a reall good one, and heres a bunch more, thats a funny one, hahah classic....one more....okay another.
...ya thats alot...im kinda a loser ....meh...theres actually more....
I NEED TO SLEEP!

....To growing older

which, ask anyone, SUCKS but growing up is optional. i think the worst thing ive realized about becoming an adult (my 22nd birthday was earlier this month, im not an adult...) is that ive become more cinical
the humor i see on TV is too crude and not really all that funny, watching standup comedians i never laugh as hard as i used to, i cringe every time the get to a punch line...."really?"....
im not touched by sob stories anymore, not that i dont sympathize i just think sitting around bitching and moaning about it isnt going to do diddly for you.
all this romantic sugary stuff just makes me want to throw up (but that could be because im single)
im not as patient as i once was and it takes me a little longer to understand things (namely the interactive assignment is confusing the stuffing out of me Erin!)
and I CANT STAND KIDS, specifically high school kids sporting "swag"
some one needs to beat them with a wooden spoon
god damn i was never that disrespectful and annoying
all in all, maybe im just losing faith in humaity
i think thats long enough for a blog posting
thanks
BYE

...my week from...well..not hell...

every had a day where EVERYTHING GOES WRONG! kind of like youre the walking, talking proof to Murphys Law, "Anything that can go wrong, will"?
well i didnt have just a day, i had a bloddy week of that!
asignments i thought were pushed back were suddenly back on
broke down and bought a pack of ciggerettes
phone died in the middle of very important messages
computer crashed in the halfway through an assignment
getting ill at the most inconvineint times
my glasses broke and i threw out my back shoveling after a blizzard
the list goes on...i wanted to crawl under a rock and stay there but with the mounting responsibilities i felt that would be cowardly
but you know what, its been a few weeks since and im feeling better, and it was an amazing tonic having people to talk to and disctract you long enough to put life back into perspective. even though for most of the day i wanted to stick my fist through a wall i could allways go to bed content.
in hindsight im laughing but thats always 20- 20. i dont know if its my own deluded mind but i feel i could learn from each experience no matter how tedious.
(so behind and the agency i need to interview for plan and prep wont call me back so i wont go into details about "what ive learned")
anyway, anyone who was with me though my time of torment has already heard me complain and ive already thanked them for their patience but....
THANK YOU
(my public part-of-an-assignment-gratitude-that-technically-still-counts-as-a-blog-posting-so-i-can-get-graded-for-it )
well,
ASTA LA VISTA ....(baby)

... To my vices

So...i quit smoking...fuck...i gave my mum my last few to throw away as a symbolic gesture of my commitment. she didn't get it...
Its been coming on for a few days now. It started after i ashed a cigarette in fresh pure white snow. I let it fall from my fingers while i was talking to a few people at the shelter by Cwing. I took notice of where it fell in the snow before i left liking how it melted the snow around it before becoming part of Sheridan's litter problem. A good time later i decided to come back out for another and walking back to the spot i was at before i noticed that the butt i had dropped earlier was now surrounded by a large hallow of yellow joined by several others deposited by my fellow smokers.
it goes with out saying that i was very surprised and disgusted. I always knew smoking was bad for you but seeing it stain the pure white snow just sitting there had a larger effect on my than any pamphlet or lecture.
the straw that broke the camels back came this morning. after id woken up, dressed i moved to the window to wait until i had to leave. just a whim nothing else. i looked down and saw my hands stained yellow. at first i decided that i must have spilled something a vivid yellowish brown but after scrubbing for a quarter of an hour i had to accept the fact that my hands were stained with nicotine. the darkest stains and the most damaged skin around the two fingers on my right hand and on the back of my hands, knuckles and thumb that looked like smoke tendrils.
i don't think myself very vain but it really effected me.
...so now....im trying to whiten my teeth....just for something to do....
i cheaped out and bought an off brand tooth paste for 8 dollars. i only just opened it, it was half empty. i reminded me of those lays potato chips with over 50% air in the bags. and it made my gums bleed
....fuck....i want to smoke....

... To my grivences

(one of them is spelling errors so hush!)
we all got stuff we regret, wish we did, wish we didnt, so whats more relateable then an entire blog posting on why we (i) suck.

1, unfulliled wishes and dreams. ever since ive learned to enjoy reading ive wanted to write a book (i mean if stephanie meyers can do it....) ive written countless 'chapter ones' but i cant carry on (mostly because i end up killing someone at the end of it. my latest attempt made me kill of the entire character list with a poisonous black fog) i love story telling so whatever but still, if your luck and play your cards right ill let you read one *wink* but seriously TELL ME IM GOOD!

4. working on a project and then realising you suck (wirtten after 3 but related to the one above) painting, drawing, writting, breathing, etc

2. failing. just in general. assignments that ive worked really hard on, that neat new thing you learned, video games, pronouncing somthing wrong because youve only ever read it or slipping back into a stereotypical accent (apparently i had one)

3. lousy humor. groan, these are some of the moments that keep me up at night. back in high school, the trend was pantsing, no one sent me the memo that it was only okay with guys wearing jeans! long story short i ended up making the most attractive girl in my class cry when i pants her on the bleachers, and wouldnt you believe my luck, her sweats caught under the bleachers and she couldnt pull them back up...she just fell back in her unflatering underwear until her friends rushed to save her.

okay now im depressed and ive got to much work to finish so....ya...
syo nara (ah whatever...i need a hug)

... To my simple pleasures

So its week 4 and i need a blog posting for each week and since my 'introductory blog post' didnt count, here we go on another mis adventure through the channels in my mind! i swear to the spagetti monster that i think of them all week but i dont bother putting it to paper(?) lets use the "i dont have bandwidth" excuse, because i dont...for another 4 DAYS minimum! (my billing cycle starts on the 6th of the month, i think)

lets face it, LIFE SUCKS! but then there are these little drops of honey that make it all worthwhile. Its a wonder how the simplest things can change your entire day. (stolen from another commercial/blog) hitting greens lights all the way home after work (im unfortunately unemployed, GIVE ME MONEY!) these are just a few (original, unstolen, selfish and personal) simple pleasures that give my life meaning;
(since ive been on campus from 8am, on a day off, and see no chance of leaving early, i cant think of a more creative way to write this other than in list form)

1. an empty house/room music blarring and dancing (i cant dance) and singing (i cant sing) to just the one song on your playlist that you havent heard in ages ("just one, i have chores to do, oh this ones great to, okay one more, i love this beat i cant stop now..." i got nothing done that day). . this also works skipping along on the street singing "were off to see the wizard" (i paused and rewatched the movie to get the little kicky thing they do perfect)

2. going crazy for no apparent reason. i was in an empty room (avoiding house guests) and finding myself fustrated and with nothing to do, i set my legs wide apart  and just started flailing my limbs. no rhyme or reason, just went wild, eventually i started kicking my legs wildly (lucky i was alone or i would have knocked someones head off) it was brilliant.

3. making funny faces in the mirror. i did the walrus face in the mirror with the ear pieces on my glasses and i could not stop laughing. i always thought it was stupid when people did it on TV, i never got the humour, but let me tell you, IT WAS HILARIOUS!

4. puttting the final touches on... anything. god damn that feels good! essentially self explanitory, after working for days on end to step back and see a finished product! (i just whistled but youll never here it, MUHAHAH)

5. (just for the sake of putting it in) "the smile on peoples faces when they show their gratitude" (BLARGH too much sugar)

6. (just for the sake of putting it in, even if its evil and i dont find that much joy in it....maybe a little) seeing someone you like fail

7. (now this is just evil) seeing someone you like fail (in a good way, like face planting the side walk, admit it, your laugh before making sure they were okay)

okay ill stop now because im enjoying this too much and i need to fill in some extra blog posting haha (just kiding Erin...not really)
CIAO

... To the benefits of being shortsighted!

When I first got them obviously I was crushed that my own vanity and idiocy had added an extra goofy feature to my face. Fairly unnecessary to mention that I watched too much TV for my own good but also I thought my friends coke bottle glasses made me look funny.
Now days I can’t imagine a day without these beauties perched on my face! Let’s go through the list of why people who wear glasses are so much more awesome then you shall we;

1. No matter your IQ if you wear glasses people INSTANTLY assume you're smart.

2. The hot librarian effect: where the wearer becomes attractive the moment the lenses leave their face. "Oh look little old Miss Grundy sorting books; oh she drops her glasses, BAH DOW HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW!" 

3. Automatic accessory for your FACE! "Hmmm do I need to mangle my face with tattoos and piercings or makeup to make a statement...NO because I wear glasses BITCHES!" I mean that in the most respectful way.

4. People are always concerned about your eyesight, especially when you’re driving.
         "It says on your licence that you need corrective lenses?"
         "Yes it does, thank you for noticing!"
         "Do you have them with you?
         "Yup right here in my pocket!"
         "You do realise you just hit a cat?"
          "Yes....yes I did...."
(No cats were harmed in the making of this blog)

5. (one of my personal favorites) pretend not to notice someone as you pass them in the halls...I have pulled this move more often than I am proud of (that’s a lie IM REALLY PROUD OF IT) if I notice an acquaintance walking towards me, and I don’t feel like pretending like I know their name I pull off my glasses, hold them up to the light, and act like the lenses are the most fascinating thing in the world, and then when they get closes enough I start polishing them as if my life depended on it!
             "Hey, I saw you in the hall yesterday"
             "Oh hey .....You....did you really?"
             "You were cleaning your glasses so you must not have seen me"
             "*evil inner snicker* yam my eye sights horrible..."

6. If you wear glasses you are instantly part of the exclusive group called EVERYBODY. admit it, if you and a friend both wear glasses at some point in your lives you’ve tried each other’s glasses on and commented on how 'blind' the other person is or asked or been asked about your 'power' just for shits and giggles.

7. (Another one of my favorites) you can make funny faces with them. I stuck the earpieces into the corners of my mouth and pulled up until my front teeth were showing, I laughed hard enough to shoot yesterday’s milk out of my nose. Go ahead try it....not the milk part...the making faces part.

I’ll admit that wearing glasses has its faults, not in public, but we are pretty awesome in general. So if you’re dreading getting that first or back up pair, just remember that no matter what 'frame' YOURE AWESOME!
Alright week 4 and already behind, awesome...
hasta luego

... To my mind.

Welcome, welcome, welcome!
Aside from the fact that this blog was made for my Interactive Marketing Class
this blog will follow the inner most workings of my shallow mind.
Deep as a puddle applies here.
alittle about the blog;
this blog will outline the inner working of my mind which will sometimes take the form of comic strips (if i feel like it) if you should find something that takes your interest, MAVEL TOV! if not...no one asked you to visit...
anyway, just a quick little post because the ouline for my class said i needed one for LAST WEEK stay tunes for what follows, a touch of bragging, a hint of venting, a pinch of creativity and a whole lot of angst.
until then,
keep on keeping on!
