I Shall Clear Things Up :D
Lately Tyler has been on a "rant" about how I'm not following my philosophy and how I made some mistakes in my last post.
FIRST of all, I was wrong about saying we played COD 3, because we actually played COD MW3, which is a completely different thing.
Secondly, I admit to calling Tyler one of my best friends and I guess the reason why is because he is one of the few friends I have left. In fact, the list of my real friends that I hang out with is so short, I'll name them all right now. They are Jonathan, Gordon, Joshua, Gary, Tyler, Amanda and Karina. I did mention to Tyler about my philosophy of having no best friends, but I neglected to mention that if I had no best friends, that would also mean that all my friends would be my best friend. I just named all my friends (and by friends, I mean people who I have regular contact with daily through voice, not just Facebook), so therefore I can also rightfully say they are my best friends too.
Now For My Rant About My Parents
Get ready for a long read about my VERY VERY personal opinion (that is my own and in no way is the opinion of all the children in the world) about parents.
I think parents these days can be great and horrible. They can be easy going or always lashing out at you. My parents are the type that constantly lash out at you to do more work and to use the computer less.
Why am I talking about these things now? Well, my mom just took away my laptop (poop .__.) and I'm kind of mad at her for doing so. It's like the third time she's done so and she doesn't do it for a good reason (REMEMBER, THESE ARE MY OPINIONS).
Sometimes I wonder how I would fare if I could just take care of my own life. Make my own set time limit of computers and cook the type of food I want to cook.
I personally think that if you are given more independence, then you will start to take care of yourselves more. For example, I always imagined how it would be like if I cooked. Realistically, I would cook myself the recommended serving of vegetables and the other food groups, because now I can actually take account my health into what I cook. Get what I mean? If you have more responsibility, you'll start to take care of yourself more.
Since I don't have my newer computer, I've been booting up (I really mean boot up, since this thing is like ancient) my older computer (which I do have to admit I've been keeping in relatively good shape for it's age) to do things such as socialize and blog. I still wish I could play games on my newer one. But blogging comes first.
No Graphics For A While, Sorry
Lately I've been very nostalgic. It's mainly because I've been looking over my failed project The UnderWorld, which I scrapped a while ago. So much for that. But it's fun looking at how I fared in the world of coding back then. Maybe I'll start up a new project. As for why there will be no graphics... uhhh... I guess it's because this computer is pretty old and it takes a while to load up the graphics.
Today my happy wagon is filled with 18 pebbles. That would mean my daily number is a 9. What a great way to keep my mind going during the summer. I know you can't hear the sarcasm through a computer screen, but just to let you know, there is some sarcasm. I haven't really been thinking of quotes, so rest assured, the quote for this post will be fresh from my mind. Uhhh... if only I can think of one.

Back Up To 20
Happy Wagon's Up
You can probably guess why, but I'll leave you to guessing why I'm back up to 20 pebbles in the happy wagon. Hey, what can I say? I'm that type of person.
I'm not sure how things went so fast yesterday, and what unknown force caused them, but those events just completely turned upside down and now I'm incredibly happy.
My luck is still going strong.
Tyler
Tyler has shown himself to be one of my best friends. I'm sure that I will truly miss his company when high school starts up. For sure though, I will take up the habit of visiting my little group of friends (people who met up with me yesterday to be specific) on the weekends and during holidays.
But I'm really serious. It's hard to believe that a year ago I barely knew the kid. But he turned out to be a really great and a down to earth guy. Yesterday was arguably one of the most eye opening days of my life.
I went to school to meet up with Tyler, Karina and Amanda, you know, as a little reunion between "lost" friends. Amanda turned out to be late, but that isn't what was so eye opening to me.
The three others that I have named like to take walks around the neighbourhood. The two girls went ahead and Tyler and I stuck behind. Eventually I get the idea of ditching the girls and whisper to Tyler, "Let's ditch them." So Tyler and I run back, with completely no idea where we are headed. We end up on a street I think is called Le Roi and Tyler says to me, "I live on this street." So we walk up ahead and we get to his house.
He starts walking to the back of his house and motions me to come. Not knowing what to do or expect, I simply follow him. We end up sitting in two chairs on the balcony and he introduces me to his dog, Bella, who is a really cool dog (a mix between a poodle and some complicated name that starts with a "m").
I don't know how things went, but we ended up going inside, where he showed me around. We ended up playing Call of Duty 3 for a while. Things went on pretty quick from there. Tyler's mom and dad showed up and I quickly introduced myself to them. A few minutes later, Amanda and Karina show up (Tyler told them where we were) and Amanda tries out some COD 3.
Amanda has to leave and Karina leaves with her, so it's just Tyler and I. He shows me Portal 2, which I thoroughly enjoyed watching. We fiddled around with Guitar Hero (which I completely failed at) and ended up going outside kicking a soccer ball.
Although Tyler's kindness and the overall fun and let's-chill-out attitude of the day was important, the really cool stuff went down in the early evening.
Tyler and I were just poking fun at a soccer ball and kicking it around the place, when his neighbour (I believe he is a second grader), Andy, comes over.
Andy, you could say, is a kid who is subjected to a lot of bad stuff. He consistently swears and it was kind of fun to see him talk about his life and what was going on. By the time Andy got to Tyler's place (just across the street), Tyler was prepared to play catch (like with a baseball glove and a baseball) with me. I guess Andy must have come over regularly because of how he immediately came over. It really touched me to see how Tyler would spend some time getting to know the kid.
So Tyler runs into his house and grabs his old glove, which in turn he gives to Andy. We end up having loads of fun (Tyler hit five "home runs") and Tyler ends up teaching Andy how to bunt a ball.
When I leave, I am truly sad that I will not see him for a long time.
Amazing to see that if I hadn't said, "Let's ditch them.", I would have never had that day.
Making My Own Quotes
For the past few posts, I've been making up my own quotes. I guess they just come randomly to me every few days and I just put them into my posts. In fact, I've already got a quote inspired from a chat with a good friend of mine.
As I stated before, my happy wagon is filled to it's limits. I'm a nice old 10 in other words. Stargirl actually uses 20 pebbles, so whenever I have like 15 pebbles in the happy wagon, that would translate to 7.5 (you've got to get fractions for this). Whatever. I'm a 20/20 for my happy wagon (which is equivalent to 10/10). I may stop the happy wagon thing, since it might confuse people.

Here We Go Again
Well... Second Time It's Been Broken
My heart has has so many cracks, smears, and smudges on it, I can only hope with desperation that it will still be able to function. Yep. My so called "girlfriend" broke up with me again. When I asked her if we should stop the whole thing, she said, "There's nothing to stop." That hurts so much, although she doesn't know.
Last night I couldn't go to sleep. I tossed and turned as I went through happy memories. Soon those memories turned into dark ones. I allowed the night to lure me into its grasps, but instead was betrayed as I visited even more dark memories. The last time I checked my clock was 1:12 AM, but I'm sure that I stayed up way past that.
This morning, I woke up at a ridiculously early time that was 6:55 AM. I guess you could say I only had about three hours of sleep.
Jesus. I don't know how these types of things will affect me. Last time it happened, I couldn't even look her in the eye. This time, she was supposed to be my support. Ironic isn't it? She turned out to be my downfall.
I'm sick and tired of these types of things. I CREATE these scenarios for myself. I always keep on believing on the optimistic side when I know all too well that the pessimistic side is much more accurate.
Nobody knows how I feel. My life truly sucks.
I'm Losing It
I'm in an incredibly depressed mood. I don't know how to react to these type of things.
I'm a complete and utter 0. This reminds me of Stargirl. She had a happy wagon. Essentially it was a small toy wagon with 20 pebbles. Whenever Stargirl was happy, she would add pebbles. Whenever she was sad, she would remove pebbles. I guess I'm like her.

Olympics Are Here :D
I'm Strictly Only Cheering For Canada
Last year I tried cheering for China, but there were two things that were messed up. Number one, I didn't even know what the people were talking about. And two, I didn't like their teams. So this year, I'm cheering ONLY for Canada. Well, also an European country (somebody will know what I'm talking about), but mostly for Canada. I'm looking forward to seeing our soccer team finally participate in the Olympics.
This year I'm actually going to pay attention to the Olympics because the last time I watched the Winter Olympics, it was awesome.
I Must Go
My grandma disapproves of me spending too much time on the computer, so I'm going to get reading on Mockingjay. I've finished The Hunger Games and Catching Fire, so I'm nearly done the awesome series.
I feel like myself again. There is so much joy and hope in the air. So of course, I'm going to raise it up a bit. I'm a 8 today. :D

I Started Taking Walks
Although I Doubt My Walks Will Be Regular...
I went over to my grandma's house today (in Vancouver) and halfway through the day (or what seemed like halfway), I asked my grandma if I could take a walk. Me asking to take a walk was something like me offering to wash the dishes. She kind of was suspicious at first, then dropped the whole thing and let me go.
I didn't know that one walk could enlighten and fulfil myself.
The first big thing that happened during my hour long walk was that on William, I saw Angelo's dad doing something outside. A larger than I thought part of me told myself to keep on walking (his back was turned to me and I was sure he did not know of my existence that day) and just ignore him, but a small rebellion broke up inside and I ended up saying, "Hello.", which ultimately landed me in an awkward conversation.
As I walked away from our little chat, I couldn't help but feel pleased with myself for doing that and I continued on.
When I reached the corner of the block of my school, I saw a man and a child (roughly my age) and at first sight, I realized that it was my long gone friend Scott. As I passed him, he looked at me and I couldn't help but feel that he thought I was somebody who he knew too. But I passed on.
I realized when I walked into the school grounds (the front side) that the whole garden thing had changed. They had probably rooted up all the plants and replaced the soil (of course, replanting the plants). The whole place looked vaguely familiar and I couldn't help but glimpse into my past.
So I sat by the stone ledge, where I once sat while playing Hearts, Cheat, and where I spent some time with an arguably important person in my life. I don't know how long I sat there, but it looks like the gods were giving me another chance to redeem myself.
I don't know if it was a coincidence (or the gods as I said earlier) that after I completed a round of the school, I bumped into Scott and what I assumed to be his older brother. I followed them for a brief while, only with the fence blocking me. Near the end of the block, I said, "Hey Scott." He looked back and smiled and I approached him and asked him how his summer was. After a little talk, I let him and his brother continue their journey and I continued my own.
The next part of my "little" walk included me going down to the grass field and saying hi to a friend who's name I never quite learned. But I always liked him and his family. They were actually really new to the school. So I said hi and I went down Grant to Rupert Park and walked a circle there. On my way back up Grant (no idea why I went down then up Grant), I heard a person playing the piano with his/her windows open. I stood and listened. When the song was over, I clapped awkwardly three times and contently walked away.
Nothing else happened after that. I finished up my journey and went home.
It's Getting Awfully Late
My assignment on how radios and televisions are more similar than different is due for presentation tomorrow and I've got to get that thing printed up. I've spent quite a while writing this post, and I hope that you have enjoyed it thoroughly.
The next time you walk around and you see a stranger, just greet them. And if you see friends, be sure to strike up a nice short conversation with them. As for my applauding of the pianist, that was something that I did, because I know how it feels to be appreciated. I'm a 7. My mood has been lifted because of my walk that I am extremely content with.

I'm Discovering Who I Am
God, I Remind Myself Of Zuko Sometimes
So, in the anime style show Avatar: The Last Airbender, this guy named Zuko is the son of the fire lord. Anyways, in the beginning of the show he's all bad and needs to "capture the Avatar so he can redeem his honour". In the third season, he starts getting conflicted emotions and he starts going through a metamorphosis which "he must go on alone". So he leaves his caring and supportive uncle and goes on his own journey.
I guess that's what's kind of happening with me. I don't need to like capture anybody and like jail them for their life, but I am getting conflicting emotions and I'm really just leaving all my friends behind me in the past.
As my friend Tyler said, I'm getting more honest about myself and becoming Kevin, but I'm not all the way there.
I Guess I AM Kind Of Gloomy
I'm the type of person that wants to know what people think of me. Not because I want to change myself to suit their needs, but it's just a curiosity of mine. Tyler is my main source of this information that I crave and he's a good source because he's direct and doesn't hold any punches against me (although I doubt I hold any against him).
Ummm... Goodbye Internet
I don't have much else that's worthwhile to share with the internet. I am redesigning and remaking The Epicosity Guys (for fun and to make it look better). Ummm... I presented my religion poster today and got a lot of big work in today. But there's still so much homework.
Today I'm a 6. I had quite a funny dream, but I am still overall in bad mood. Sorry for that.

I Am So Unimportant
I Am Unimportant To The World
Look at me. I'm a 12 year old boy, who thinks that he can actually do something in this world. Yeah, sure I have made friends and have "affected" them so much I have left a little hole (that will undoubtedly be mended) in their hearts, but what am I kidding. I don't even know who reads my blog.
But then again, maybe some people are.
Life Is A Sick Joke
I've noticed recently, that life is nothing but a sick sick sick joke. What is wrong with this world? Swears. Perverted and disgusting jokes. People who have a lack of understanding when their friend is trying to be serious. Life really is just full of ignorant, careless, sick people. I won't defend myself, in fact, I have lately kind of "embraced" myself to my ignorance. In a way, I am blissfully aware that I must change.
So I have to change. I've got to stop cracking sick jokes and hanging out with the wrong people.
I'll tell you what really set off this subject. I've been holding back this subject because a few weeks ago I was all, "The world is a better place." But after a horrible incident at my summer school, I am incredibly ticked off at everybody. I'm pissed off at myself, most of my friends and more importantly, the world.
So I've come to the realization that I will never be able to have friends while following what I believe in.
I guess the real thing that's bugging me is that I care more about my own thoughts and that I may not have a lot (if any) friends in high school.
Then again, I'm looking at this from a pessimistic view.
So I'll just add an optimistic picture.
I Am About To Die
It was believed by the early men that whenever you went to sleep, you would die and be reborn. So. In a salute to the early men of our world who pioneered this wonderful land, I shall go die and be reborn.
I've put myself in a really negative mood and I guess I could say I'm a 5. I haven't been enjoying life as much as I wish to. Only one person I think would truly know why. I just hope that person actually reads my blog.

My Sink Is A Bloody Mess
Nosebleeds
I've been having a lot of nosebleeds lately. I don't know if it's just the summer, or if I've developed a proneness to nosebleeds. I've had at least one nosebleed (sometimes two or more) every day for the last week and a half. While it is amazing to see my blood drip onto my hands, carpet, bed sheet or floor, it's kind of annoying. I should probably get this checked out with my doctor.
Anyways, my sink is a bloody mess.
A Lame Excuse
Lately my summer school friends have been urging me to hang out with them on the last day of school before we "leave each other's lives". But. I don't want to go. There's something my gut's telling me that I can't understand. I don't know why I don't want to go.
I think I've figured it out though. This morning, as I walked into class and took my seat, I gave a lot of attention to my friends. Wild, eccentric, everything I was. Probably why they liked me. But there was something about them that was too wild, too eccentric. Things I didn't enjoy on the inside, but tried to show joy on the outside.
I figure that those are my friends. This whole thing is just me trying to desperately salvage some part of my old life. It's just me looking for another Angelo, Brian, Amanda or Karina.
A lame excuse, I know. But I'll probably skip the whole thing.
Goodbye
I've gotten very interested in typography (just wish I could be better at kinetic typography) lately and that'll be the main form of media on this blog (since I don't want to get sued for stealing photos) besides my own pictures (which I'll probably never post up).
I'm a 10 today. I feel good about the picture and I'm off to make more.

Moments. Beautiful Things They Are
Showering Can Hold Moments
I just finished showering and I surprised myself. When I entered the shower, I felt like a completely different person. When I got in, I turned the water on hot to start off, but very shortly turned it down to cold. I somehow got some sort of satisfaction from freezing my body during my shower. When I started shampooing my hair, I stopped abruptly and then started scrubbing away furiously, as if I wanted to clean away all the physical and emotional scars.
Kind of sounds like I went all Zen mode and I've "cleansed myself of my sins". I don't think I would put it that way. But. Yeah. I guess that's how an average person would put what I experienced. In the shower. XD
Just Feeling Like I Want To Change The World
Top of the world. That's how I could say I'm feeling. But I also feel like I want to inspire change. I want to inspire change in the world for... something. I dunno yet, but one day I will change the world. Technically I've already changed the world by being born. :)
Time To End This
It's once again time to end another post. Ummm... I think I may start posting up the gas station prices everyday for the Husky gas station that I pass by everyday back home from Vancouver. Sometimes I don't even go to Vancouver though, so if I do start to do this little project (which I will ultimately lay out in a graph :D), I will go outside just for you guys.
Since some of the images on this blog have broken links, I'll probably start downloading the images and uploading them (which takes some hassle since I have to get reproduction rights) or making my own (as you can see by the only image in this post). I'm a 10. That's right. Still haven't forgotten to do that since I started.

Excuse Me For The Background
Like The Changes I've Made?
Although the changes I've made to the blog are not numerous, it's enough to give the viewer a whole new perspective of my blog. A first time viewer would think, "This guy is a Russian." because of my background (it's pretty self explanatory). So, I apologize for the background, but it was so awesome, I had to put it up. It's also kind of the first sombre theme that my blog has had.
Ummm... Life's Gotten Boring For Me
I haven't really thought about it lately, but NOTHING bad has happened to me since the first time I had great luck. So... I'm still on my lucky streak. Although today is Friday the 13th... AH. Something to talk about. I'm not superstitious. Well. That wasn't much to talk about. Ummm... I kind of messed around with the favicon, trying to update it, but it's staying at the old school "KZ" one. I HATE YOU BLOGGER. No. I'm just kidding. I love Blogger.
This Blog Is Going Nowhere
I don't mean that this post is useless and has no point, but my blog is useless. I'm only keeping it... I don't know. I keep telling myself that I only keep this blog so in the future I can just look back at it, but it doesn't seem like I will. It seems like there's a deeper reason.
Heart Pain
Have you ever had one of those weird feelings where it feels like your heart rises and suddenly you feel extreme sadness? That just happened to me. I don't know what it was. But I was thinking of friends at the time. Maybe now I suddenly feel left out and alone to fend for myself.
So in other terms, heart pain.
Jesus. I hate when that happens.
This Part Gets Tiring
In summary, the end of every post is guaranteed to end with this. I sum up my day and I say a number that just pops into my head. I don't know why I even do this any more. Thanks a lot heart pain.
I'm a 9. I don't know what's going on, but it feels like there's a heavy weight on my chest.

Not Posting Daily Any More :D
Ummm... Why? I'm Preoccupied With LIFE
There's really more to life than just sitting in front of a computer screen typing to nobody in particular. No, gaming is not the thing we all crave in life. We CRAVE friends in life. We have a natural born instinct to make friends. Sometimes, people just lose that instinct.
I guess those people are the people that are shunned upon. They are the people who have no friends at lunch and would care less about making friends.
So. Bring out the inner friendship from somebody who you don't know. Make friends and make change (not the money change though =P). I know that I've made a lot of friends at my summer school course. Sad to see that most of them will be leaving me in a short matter of two weeks.
Ah. Life is bitter sweet.
Errrmmm... Goodbye?
Nothing much else has happened in my life. I hate to say it, but my life is pretty plain. Aside from the occasional events, this blog is of boring subject. I noticed a few days ago, my friend Tyler shut down his blog again. I thought he would reopen it, but it turns out my hunch was wrong. Goodbye Tyler. You have lost a part of your life, even if you thought it was insignificant to others.
Today I'm a 10. I'm making great friends at my summer school session, but I see that I must not be too good friends with them. I fear that when I leave, I will be as pained as I was when I left Begbie.

Just Finished Eggs
Just Finished Eggs By Jerry Spinelli
I just finished the book Eggs by Jerry Spinelli. It was an absolutely amazing book. It's really awesome to see how a nine year old can connect and have a beautiful friendship with a 13 year old.
I don't want to completely spoil the book for you. Scenes were kind of obvious at times and predictable, but overall, the book was a really really really great read.
I'm looking forward to reading Stargirl and Love, Stargirl, both also by Jerry Spinelli. I think I just found my next several reads.
Still looking forward to reading the "classics" such as 1984, Of Mice and Men, Grapes of Wrath, and other notable novels
Following A Strict Rule For My Blog
Ummm... from now on, I will use italics when it's appropriate, I'll use commas when it's appropriate and I'm going to start using a reference guide for British. Canadian and American spelling of words (I have found this website to be simple and easy to use). Pictures on my blog will be uploaded directly from my desktop because I have found pictures in old posts where the link for the picture is broken.
All of these rules (and a few more) take affect in this blog post and any future ones.
I'll also stop calling each little section a "topic" and start calling them an "idea".
Just Gotta Love Being Different
I don't want to make this blog completely dull, so I'm going to include some meaningful stuff. A huge inspiration for my blog is actually Tyler's blog. I love his blog and all the stuff he has to say.
So. People. You have to be different (inspiration for this idea comes from the book Stargirl, which I just started reading). Difference is what defines each and every one of us.
Being Scolded, So I'll Move On
I'm being yelled at by my parents for doing stuff that I think is good for me. It kind of really ticks me off to think that my parents don't understand exactly what I do on the internet in my spare time. They think I just play games games games. Well, let me set one thing right. Writing a post on my blog is not games. Talking to friends is not a game.
Have it your way mom, dad, grandma and various others who believe I spend all my time playing.
Goodbye
Ummm... I must go now... I wish that my parents would just let me do my own things. I wish they would let me take my own risks. I know they love me and they care for me and they're doing what they think is right for me, but for once, I wish they would confide in my ability to take care of myself.
I wish I was older. I wish I could have and do a lot of things. I wish for a lot of things. Although I don't have these things now, one day I will. I'm a 10 for today.

Got A Facebook...
Finally Cracked
I was feeling down about not being able to contact any of my friends, so I decided (and was mostly peer pressured) to get a Facebook. I spent a few minutes on it, fiddling around with my profile info, but soon after I got bored.
So I have a Facebook. I'm kind of bored with it. Not sure what I'll do with it.
Summer School Was Fun
I had summer school today. Woke up at 7:00 AM just to get to Burnaby North by 8:15 AM (still ended up being late because I was in the wrong building). Ummm... nothing much to report. I have some really good teachers for my 7/8 Transition course.
Making friends incredibly easy in this class. I've established myself pretty high up there in terms of how easy I am to get along with. Won a mini math competition, so I kind of am known. Already. Jeez Kevin.
Going To Say Something Different For My End Topic Tittle... Errrmmm... COOKIES
I don't know where I came up with cookies. Oh well.
10. Today I am a 10. I had a relatively easy day including the fact I had summer school. Chilled out with Jonathan and Gordon on Skype and Minecraft.

True Friends
I Don't Have Many True Friends
Ummm... how do I start this blog post off? There's going to be a lot of hate and love in this post. I guess I can start by saying that everybody has something that is imperfect about them. Me? I have a tendency to flip my hair for no reason (adds to my true vanity that everybody has). So. I'm not trying to put pity on myself, but it sounds like it.
Everybody in the world that cling onto something have vanity. Only people with no emotion and have nothing to look forward in life have completely no regard for their vanity. People are vain, even if it is only a little bit. An example is when you change your clothes in the morning that is something wearable and appropriate for the events of the day. You are still being vain. I am vain. You are vain.
But that type of vanity is acceptable. The type of vanity that is not acceptable is when you have an unearthly urge to just wear that particular piece of clothing that defines you superior from everybody. That is vanity that friends will never accept.
Onto the real point. I've been postponing this for a while. I've just kept it in the dark corners of my head. True friends are people who are always there for you. I'm sorry to say this, but the image I put up goes along with the crowd. In grade six, the only people I wanted to be with were Angelo, Brian and, Phillip. We were the four guys. We were full of ourselves. But in grade seven, I started withdrawing myself from that sports and cool crowd and headed towards my crowd of true friends.
And those people are Jonathan, Gordon, Joshua, and Gary.
I'm sorry Angelo, Brian, and Phillip. You guys have shown yourself to be the type of guys I don't enjoy hanging out with. I hope that you understand my decision to call you guys only "good friends".
I have my true friends.
Errr... Now What?
Ummm... I didn't go to Wings yesterday (instead stayed home and made some goodies). The friend hangout today was absolutely a blast. I left early to go hang out with Gordon and it was pouring, so Gordon and I got soaked. When everybody else arrived though, it stopped raining (what irony -.-). We went to a Vietnamese restaurant and while there, Gordon, Jonathan, Joshua (Gary didn't want to try) ate the pepper there. Our tongues were burning for several minutes and it wasn't until Jessica (Phillip's little sister) came down with some milk that we had quenched our spiciness. After the meal, we went to a bubble tea shop in the little shop place at the TNT and got ourselves some bubble tea.
Goodbye For Today
It was pretty fun seeing my friends again (even though it hasn't even been that long). Some of my friends have changed while others have stayed the same.
I'm a 10. Brilliant day. Don't know what to do for a quote, so I'm just going to Google "awesome quotes".

Addicted To Coldplay
Listening To Coldplay
Well, I guess you could say I'm listening to alternative rock more than pop these days because they have much more message and soul in it and also have a good tune to it. But the band that I've really been surprised by is Coldplay. They have a lot of good alternative rock. So does Green Day and Finger Eleven. They're just awesome. So I'm listening to Coldplay. They have a lot of love songs in their set of many tunes. In fact, I do have Yellow, and The Scientist by Coldplay on replay right now. They're pretty good songs. Check out Yellow here, and The Scientist here. You have got to listen to these songs if you are dying for meaning and awesome lyrics.
A Lot Of Dinner's This Week
I'm going to a lot dinners this week and I can't say that I'm not happy. Tonight I'm going to Wings with my cousin, his girlfriend, my brother, and myself. Tomorrow I'm going to have an awesome day with some of my friends at my friend's Vietnamese restaurant.
Which brings me onto the topic about why I don't really like going out with my relatives. It's kind of embarrassing when I go out with relatives. Not because they're uncool or anything. It's only weird and awkward because I don't usually go out with my relatives. So naturally I don't know how to behave.
So Wings tonight, Vietnamese noodles or some sort of Vietnamese food tomorrow night.
Okay, Goodbye
Kind of excited about going to Wings tonight (going to be my first time at a bar :D). My radio station is doing okay (still thinking about putting up a stream 24/7). Ummm... nothing much else happening in my life. Might start doing a workout (I'm getting unfit) one day.
I'm a 10. No reason why not to be (I always say that), and if there is no reason, I might as well be happy.

Happy Canada Day!
Happy Canada Day!
Ah. The day when people finally remember what great a country Canada is. Other countries recognize us from our maple syrup, hockey, and for being The Great North.
So, there's no other simpler way than to just say Happy Canada Day! May your day be filled with joy, happiness, fulfilment and Canadian stuff.
Just Wanted To Share
I just love these types of images. They're simplistically original and incredibly funny. I just saw this picture a few minutes ago and wanted to share it with you guys.
So, if you have any pictures like this one, please comment the link to me and I'll be sure to have it up on my blog if it's any good (I'm sure it'll be).
Errr, Going To Go Check On My Game
I've been playing a certain FPS lately and today (in honour of Canada day), if a player has played for an hour of more, they get a FREE Canada hat. So, yeah, I'm just going to go check on that. On a side note, I've just realized my grammar has been incorrect in this blog. Whenever I list stuff, I always end with an and without a coma at the beginning. Example: I like pie, coconuts and peanuts. What I'm supposed to do is: I like pie, coconuts, and peanuts. I don't think Blogger has Canadian English, so that means that when my spell check is on, it will probably correct things the American or U.K. way.
Today I'm a 10. I have plans to go to Wings (a down town restaurant) tomorrow and I still have the little grad dinner with my friends on Tuesday. Busy week ahead of me. Ummm... things to think about. I wish I could look into the future to see how my family and everybody would be doing. Errr... how do talk to your cousin about his girlfriend without actually saying "girlfriend"? I've been thinking of that lately. But I would take looking into the future over how to talk about a cousin's girlfriend any day.
