roar. thanksgiving. i shall feast like a king tonight.

still just working. getting used to that routine again. it is a daily struggle to surpress my chronic wanderlust. i just wanna pack my shit and hop on a bus. but a few more weeks and that urge will be stuffed down into my subconcious.

might go to winnipeg for a week, and the beginning of november, for princess auto schooling. that'd be nice? who knows, i've never heard anything good about winnipeg.

Mmmm. You guys wanna hear a funny story?

East Coast Avengers (MC Esoteric, trademarc, and DC the MIDI Alien). Pretty rad new group. They did a track called "Kill Bill O'Reilly", threw it up on their MySpace. Say what you will about MySpace, but it remains a fairly decent place for lesser known artists to get free and easy publicity.

I dunno if you know who Bill O'Reilly is, but in a nutshell, he's a crazy extreme right-wing political commentator and is pretty much who Colbert bases his show on.

So yeah, Kill Bill O'Reilly. If you'll check out ECA's MySpace, you'll notice the track is gone. Also missing is a ton of their upcoming album art. Where'd it go? Well, MySpace is owned by News Corp. Owners of FOX News (O'Reilly's network). And I guess News Corp. decided that ECA shouldn't be saying what they were saying, and they pulled their shit. Straight yanked it off their website. I know this is an American deal, but...

I just think that's kinda fucked.

Kill Bill O'Reilly, on YouTube. (fan video)

Michelle Malkin, former member of O'Reilly's show, whines about the track. (Check ECA MySpace for new track "Dear Michelle")

new job is good, at princess auto. think i'll stick around for a bit.

still not coping well with this girl jazz, but having to work should help keep my mind off it. i get the same sermon from everyone when they ask how i feel and i tell them. tired of it. i don't ask for sympathy, that doesn't get me anywhere. it just bugs me because it makes me feel like i'm being melodramatic and immature. just trying to live a cliche or something.

but then i was like fuck it, why am i worrying about if i'm being a cliche, i'm just being myself.

...this post is kinda lame. i almost erased it.

i'm very baked, i'm going to sleep. bonne nuit.






...french tutor. that's just to remind me to start looking tomorrow when i wake up, don't worry about it.

aughhh.

where was i?

right, i quit katimavik, then moved to halifax. didn't make it to montreal, except for a week long trip to see my girl. couple weeks later, she was my ex-girl.

i guess she didn't want to do the long distance thing. i told her i'd move to quebec to be with her, but she said she'd already made up her mind. whatever the fuck that means. i guess that's what i get for going out with girls under 20.

that fucked me. i'm back in vancouver now. nothing ventured, nothing filled up with apathy and put back in it's place.

Rahh...

Finished Katimavik.

Well.. quit, 2/3's through. Moving to Halifax, and then Montreal. Have a girlfriend that lives there, thanks to K-Dot.

Things are fucked. I'm fucked.

I don't know.

 Daaag, yo.

I dunno if anyone reads this, but if you do.. you lucky elf, then you get to hear about what I'm doing! All my other friends already know, I guess, but they don't read this.

I'm doing Katimavik, which I'm finding pretty cool for the most part. In Fredericton, New Brunswick right now, until the end of March. I'm volunteering at Odell Park, for this placement. It's uh.. it's a big park. I spend a lot of time grooming trails, on a snowmobile, which is ill. Also splitting wood, which is not so ill. And a lot of mindless driving around, which is aite. 

More interesting than work is dealing with the people in my group. We've got a smaller group, there's only 6 of us (but we're getting two new girls tomorrow night), and um.. I dunno. I feel like I'm on The Real World or some shit. I'm pretty good friends with a couple of the kids, ignore a couple, and am on/off with one. We'll see how the new ones work out. It's weird. Emotions/relationships/drama is all sped up here, everything happens so fast. Hence me feeling like I'm on TV. Overall, I'm really glad I'm here, cause it's free travel, and a good chance for me to work on some bad habits of mine, and try to get my shit together a little better. I still don't wanna do school or anything, but I figure with all the work experience involved, maybe I can deduce something I'd like to do, other than be a starving artist/useless social commentator. 

At the very least, I can work on my mental bullshit, I guess?
