Blog This!

Ok, so I have nothing much to say today..just wasting time until 5 so I can go home and sleep. Today is such a dark and dreary day all I want to do is crawl into bed. My bosses are away on business so I have some free time to fool around on here. I finally learned how to change a few things around with my blog title, so you may or may not notice the swanky looking 'puzzle' theme I have going up there...clever...yes?

This past weekend I got to watch an advance copy of Unleashed on DVD, it was pretty good..tons of fight scenes..Jet Li kicks ass. I also went all adult on myself and bought socks, underwear and an umbrella..look at me, I'm Johnny-responsible now...

Ugh...I'm bored..someone amuse me.

New Game

Saw this on another blog. Thought it might be interesting to isolate an individual thought from each person's individual blog.


THE RULES
1. Go through your old posts.
2. Find the 23rd post.

4. Post it.

My 23rd post was about my wedding, here is my fifth sentence:

"The food, music, guests, atmosphere, service and everything at the hall was amazing..we partied the night away and then made our way to the hotel for the night."

Well this brings back old memories...fun game!

PCHS 1995 High School Reunion

Last night was the PCHS Class of 1995 10 Year High School Reunion. Grads from far and wide converged at the Four Points Dorval and partied the night away. While a lot of my close friends from high school did not show up, there were many that did and I was looking forward to seeing them for weeks now.

The hall was a modest room decorated in the PCHS black and gold colours, we had a DJ who got the night off with songs from back-in-the-day. The food was...edible..but not the best, the coffee was good..but the conversation was better.

I sat with 2 old friends, Tara and Laurie..they both had their husbands with them, Troy and JF..two really nice guys. Also with us was fellow grad Bonnie and my wife (easily the most beautiful woman in the room)..it was a really fun night. We positioned ourselves in the back of the hall, mainly because I love to people watch, and of course gossip about so and so.

The open bar was of course the main attraction, with many a refill and shots going around. It was really nice to see so many old faces, a very surreal feeling at first..but something I got used to.

So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish

Ok, so I promised I wouldn't do movie reviews on here...but I cannot help and write about my paradoxical feelings towards the new 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy' film. First a little history, I came across the series one night on TV when I was a kid, being a BIG Doctor Who fan I immediately recognized the shaky BBC studio quality sets and bad lighting. I was hooked from day one, later one summer I came across the audio tapes and got to enjoy the series in a whole new light, I read the books over and over..and loved every minute of it. I was truly saddened when Douglas Adams died and so I was really looking forward to this film.

I KNEW it wouldn't be the same, I KNEW there would be big changes to the story..I was ready for that..I was ok.

I LOVE the casting, Sam Rockwell as Zaphod? BRILLIANT! Everyone was really great.

I LOVE the SFX, truly top of the line stuff.

I LOVE the puppeteer work on the Vogons, really amazing work that proves you do not need CGI for every small detail.

So with all these things I LOVED...why does the movie still disappoint me? I guess the dramatic change of story line, the lack of the restaurant at the end of the universe, and the happy-go-lucky everything is ok again ending..I mean..Earth was destroyed! Why rebuild it and make everyone happy?!

Sigh..it's such an odd feeling to love a movie for all its little bits, but dislike it on the whole...

Blooming Bloody Hell

So I woke up this morning and couldn't find my wallet..much to my relief I did manage to find it after turning the apartment and my car upside down.

As I was in panic-mode looking for my wallet I had to run down the number of things I would need to do if it were lost/stolen...cancel credit cards, get a new drivers license, new medicare card, NEW credit cards, blockbuster cards...and the very sneaky and scary feeling that someone else is holding photos of my wife and knows where I live...

Blah..we should all have pockets sewn into our own skin..better yet, evolution should help by having these pockets made for our phones, wallets, iPods and all that...cmon cells...mutate already!!!

Selections from Pink Floyd's 'Mother'

Mother do you think they'll like this song?

Hush now baby, baby, dont you cry.
Mother's gonna keep you right here under her wing.
She wont let you fly, but she might let you sing.
Mama will keep baby cozy and warm.
Ooooh baby ooooh baby oooooh baby,

Mama will always find out where you've been.
Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean.
Ooooh baby oooh baby oooh baby,
You'll always be baby to me.

Rap Translation

I was listening to The Notorious B.I.G. on the way home tonight and singing along with the lyrics. I realised that some of what Biggie says can hardly be called english, so I've decided to translate a song or two for your pleasure. Here we go:

"Ready To Die"
The Notorious B.I.G.
(feat. Puff Daddy)

italics - Original lyrics
bold - Translation

Yeah...
Yeah...
(You ready motherfucker?)
(We gon' kill your ass)

I don't like you and wish you ill health

As I grab the glock, put it to your headpiece

I will take my gun and point it to your head

One in the chamber, the safety is off release
Straight at your dome homes, I wanna see cabbage

Oh yes, there is a bullet in this gun, when I fire it I will most likely see your grey matter

Biggie Smalls the savage, doin your brain cells much damage

I am not good for your mental health

Teflon is the material for the imperial
mic ripper girl stripper the Henny sipper

I prefer teflon guns, I sing very well, I like naked women and Hennessey liquor

I drop lyrics off and on like a lightswitch

I'm very good at making things rhyme

Quick to grab the right bitch and make her drive
the Q-45, glocks and tecs are expected when I wreck shit

I will make my girlfriend drive my fancy car while I carry a lot of guns to do a lot of damage

Respect is collected, so check it

You will respect me because of all my guns

I got techniques drippin out my buttcheeks
Sleep on my stomach so I don't fuck up my sheets, huh

I'm very talented

My shit is deep, deeper than my grave G

My music is thoughtful

I'm ready to die and nobody can save me
Fuck the world, fuck my moms and my girl

I am very angry with life

My life is played out like a jheri curl, I'm ready to die

Again, I am very angry with life

As I sit back and look when I used to be a crook
Doin whatever it took from snatchin chains to pocketbooks

I used to be a criminal

A big BAD motherfucker on the wrong road
I got some drugs tried to get the avenue sold

I used to sell drugs to make money

I want it all from the Rolexes
to the Lexus gettin paid, is all I expected

I wanted money

My mother didn't give me what I want, what the fuck?
Now I got a glock, makin motherfuckers duck

I did not get an allowance, but now I have a gun

Shit is real, and hungry's how I feel
I rob and steal because that money got that whip appeal

I do bad things for money

Kickin niggaz down the steps just for rep
Any repercussion lead to niggaz gettin wet

I will do almost anything for money and a bad reputation (which means good)

The infrared's at your head real steady
You better grab your guns cause I'm ready, ready

I am pointing my gun at you

I'm ready to die!

In a sec I throw the tec to your fuckin neck
Everybody hit the deck, Biggie bout to get some wreck

I will put a gun to your neck, and I'll scare a lot of people

Quick to leave you in a coffin, for slick talkin
You better act like CeCe, and keep on walkin

If you try to be smart with me I will kill you

When I hit ya, I split ya to the white meat
You swung on like you slumber right you fell to the conrete
Your face, my feet, they meet, we're stompin

I will fight you, and I will win

I'm rippin MC's from Tallahassee, to Compton

I am better than most people in the USA

Biggie Smalls on a higher plane
Niggaz say I'm strange deranged because I put the 12 gauge to your brain

Again, I will put a gun to your head

Make your shit splatter
Mix the blood like batter then my pocket gets fatter
after the hit, leave you on the street with your neck split
down your backbone to where your motherfuckin shit drip

I will shoot you and apparently crack you in half

The shit I kick, rip it through the vest
Biggie Smalls passin any test, I'm ready to die!

My bullets will go through a bullet proof vest, I am the best.
