Life & the City, or Something Like It

So let's look at life a bit, a few days after the half way point of summer. Four years have passed by so quickly since high school started but not a lot has changed. I'm still jobless, my life is still confusing and I'm still plotting against a random TV chef. Anyways. When I look back, I see all the friends that have come and gone and changed over the years. Some have become assholes and some have been cool to the end. I look in the mirror everyday and see how much older I'm getting and wish I was still that same poofy headed 13 year old with no cares in the world. Senior year is over, time for more responsibilities.
So let's go Asian Fob style and have some shout outs to the people we appreciate. (In the order I met you.)
Darlo, Keith, Chelly, Susanna, Jose, Chris, Tim Y., Bernard, Roswita, Michael I., Arun W., Ira, Justin, Victor, Franco, Sharife, Roark, Colin, Martin, Tim P., Aina, Marieta, Christine S. Arun M., Yolanda, Sebastian, Nikki R., Sarah, Cyril, Steven W., Kevin, Steven L, Alyssa, Kathleen, Joy, Precious, Luna, Christine S. Leon
I've still been meaning to write a book while I'm young. I have a notes all over the place but not iniative to get started. Basically my main character is an Asian living in, (somehwere, haven't decided yet). Well basically it was a challenge between me and a friend to see who could write a book first. We've had a lot of competitions, which either have lead to me winning or still pending to find a winner. This book thing, has been going on for 4 years now, so anyone could win if we weren't so lazy. (hahaha.)
My favourite vacation so far was my trip to New York City; what they call "the centre of the universe". Even though the times have been shitty but it couldn't possible get worse. I guess it's just a comfort to know that any where you could possibly go after New York city Would be some where not in the news. We were on a bus tour to New York for shopping a site seeing. Luckily I knew the subway system ahead of time so We got around a lot fast than the other passengers, who didn't get farther than a 1km radius from Rockefeller Center. (boo~ hahaha.)

Karma Works, God Works and a Craptacular Day!

God works in mysterious ways; it really scares me. This is the story of me and a friend. After the Fallout of the summer of 2005, I thought I could turn to her. M and I used to be friends, a long time ago. We've been friends since freshmen year and did a lot of things together. Since then, we've had our share of laughs and seen a lot of things. During the my Fallout of 2005, I thought she was one of the few people I could turn to. These ChinaMen and ChinaWomen got rods stuck up their asses becuase of how one person felt about me. I thought she'd be a friend and confide in (Not really, I barely confide in anyone. it just adds drama saying that I do.). She turned on me, saying "Uhh yeah, I can't do that, you know how things are between you and the guys and I don't wanna get in the middle. You know how it is." Betrayed, after 4 years. I couldn't stand it anymore. I made a list of people. Not a death list but a hope list, a list of hopes that karma would get them. So far, 2 people have gotten karma back at them. Since then, she's had a Fallout of her own and its still going downhill. M you could have had one more person on your side to confide in. You threw it all away. Good luck with that... OH WELL, KARMA!

Ryerson had one of their Pre-Orientation Day events today. A fear factor version of events. Based on last week's events, Ryerson's version of the Amazing Race, I would think that it would be great. I can basically say today's events were Craptacular! Six stations of events: jump rope, pictures with the mascot, karaoke, dressing someone up in a hockey uniform, creating a school spirit cheer and making a Ryerson poster. It was horrible! A waste of two hours of my life. And talk about embarassment and humiliation. I guess I can say, what happens in Ryerson stays in Ryerson. (hahaha!) Although if you're a future Ryerson student, you'll see it on the website and laugh at us in person. The mascot we took pictures with, Eggy is a whole other story. He kept on flirting with girls like he was a millionaire. (hahaha.) He kept looking at the O-Team's boobs!

Cosplay is Really Messed Up.

I have little or no respect for those who choose to do hard core cosplay. (If you don't know what cosplay is, it's basically... better yet an example is, dressing up like an anime character from a tv show.) Now then, surfing across Google images I came upon messed up cosplayer who REALLY do not fit in the genre of a good cosplayer. Picture this if you will, a really fat Caucasian girl, chunky legs, acne and glasses, dressed up as Yuna, Final Fantasy X-2 style. Now then, I will never surf Google Images with the word "Yuna" ever again. I had nightmares, so many chunks. A month later, when I'm in my Naruto fan craze, I search up Maito Gai, when I come across a picture of a fat African American man doing the Maito Gai pose; as if I had enough memories to repress, I thought of the Yuna cosplayer. And these are just some examples of the horrors I've seen. Some people on the other hand... well the same hand, take cosplay to the extreme. My friend for instance, bought a Battle Royale collar; the ones that would kill the students if they took it off. He bought a really expensive replica of it, put it on and couldn't take it off. My god! He had to break it to take it off and in the end, cried himself to sleep because of the waste. He intention was to wear it everyday to show off back when Battle Royale, the movie came out. Poor him, money well wasted. And there's too much to say over what I have to make fun of in cosplay. Basically, if you know what's good you, do it in moderation or don't do it at all.

Around We Go, When Boredom Stops, Nobody Knows

Please use a number two pencil. Another week's end and what do I have to show for it? Not much I guess. This week, in line with several weeks in the past, was a boring week which not much happened. But I guess I'll still write about it. Basically I skipped two days of English, Tuesday and Wednesday to be exact. What have we been doing? Read A Man for All Seasons. I'll have to admit that people consider this book to be one of the many great pieces of literature, but history based book are not really my forté. I've learned from a very long and daunting past that history is always bound to repeat it self. Whether history is right or not, it's still not interesting to me. Over the last few days I've been focused on lots of anime shows. More specially, Naruto, Inuyasha, Full Metal Alchemist and Digimon Adventure 02. You could basically say that there's nothing much going on in my life. On the bus ride home today I met up with an old classmate who I will name "JL". In the past, we've haven't really talked and basically the sum of high school events in reference to past events has led me, and a few others, to the conclusion that she's a bitch. But today was different. She was a bit nicer today; apparently there's been a misunderstanding over the years that neither of us wanted to be the others friend. Go figure. After that she got off the bus and we waved our meek goodbyes. Why did I feel dirty? Why did I feel as if I've gone against my principles about how if I'm not treated right by a person, why should I treat them nice back? Things are changing, changing too fast I guess.
