NOTE: It turns out that I did get a C in Sociology after all...

'Sup dawgs?!

Shucks! These past few days I have been worrying about sociology so I studied real hard cause I was like "I'm going to need an 80 on the exam AT LEAST, to pass. I didn't really care much about failing but I was worried that my folks would be extremely pissed. I've never failed a course, ever! But anyway, I go to the exam and I talk to the other people in my class who were about to go do it. And they're like "Ya! I already passed. I'm at 51% before the exam..." I'm like: "Hold up! Hold up girl! You mean you only need a D to pass this course?" I asked around and looked at all my documentation and found out that it's actually a D+ (55%). But still! Shit! I'm so used to it always being at 60%. It would have been had I been majoring in Sociology! But who majors in Sociology??!! Only suckas! So, I calced that as long as I pass the exam, I pass the course! I'm pretty sure I passed!

Now, I'm feeling the post-traumatic stress of it all. I talked about this on Roger's lj. You feel the stress AFTER the event! I'm losing sleep, my stomach's in a knot, increased heartrate, etc.

Anyway, other than that...
I recently heard this couple totally fighting on the bus! They were really loud and stuff... It didn't bother me but I got to hear the whole thing:

Some of the girl's coworkers were getting together at a bar as a sorta work x-mas party or something.
They (the coworkers) got kinda sloppy drunk. The guy had said that before the evening he knew it would be an annoying night around "a bunch of drunks". Kinda like "I told you so..." Anyway, he kept emphasizing the fact that he didn't have a good time and that he didn't get himself out of jail, get himself a job and get his own appartment to be around a bunch of drunks. He knew it was gonna be a bad time but he went anyway cause of her.

Anyway, at first I was taking the guy's side. You go somewhere with your gf, you warn her that you're not gonna have a good time and you don't! He says: "You're friends are losers!" and stuff. And i guess he was right. I'm not against getting sloppy drunk. Obviously: just look back to the awards banquet incident! But if you're going to be around boring/annoying ppl who are drunk... Fuck it! My rule of thumb is to use alchol or drugs as an enhancer. If you're not already having fun, don't get intoxicated. But if you are, please do! Cos it will make it funner!

But then I heard an important detail: it wasn't her friends! It was just an x-mas party with ppl from work. Does this make any difference? Hell yeah! It makes all the difference in the world. If the guys from work invite you to go somewhere with them, you'll go! Even if you don't particularily like them. It's the polite thing to do. Plus, you might end up liking them or having a good time: you don't know yet! And by the time she invites her boy, it's too late: she already said she'd go! I read something in Dear Abby a while back that holds true for many things. Some dude didn't like the fact that his wife always dragged him along to these boring baby showers! Someone wrote back to give her own advice as many people do in Dear Abby. She explained that women don't really enjoy these gatherings very much either. They bring their boys along so at least they have some company and don't get bored to death! So what if it was boring! At least your sweetie was there and thats all that counts!

It's alright that he tells her he didn't have a good time. She didn't really have fun, either! But he didn't have to make such a big deal out of it! I would have told her during the party that I found it was boring but I would have tried to remain pleasant nonetheless. I notice my folks have similar experiences sometimes. They come home and they're like. Boy, THAT was certainly a lousy party! But they're not bickering at each other about it! And the guy practiced something that I now refer to as the jackhammer effect. He keeps repeating the same arguments as if to jackhammer them in. She heard them the first time! Even if she didn't seem to by her replies, she did. The whole bus did. Repeating them is just pointless and hurtful! Anyway, I was hoping that they'd make up before they got off but it only got worse and the girl got off WAY before her stop and the guy went and followed her.

So... yeah... I have a few more exams and stuff... But we shall party hardy during the break!! Amusez-vous, 'sti!

First up, I'm worried about failing sociology. It's an easy course, but I'm such a slacker. There was this research assignment in which you had to do like a first hand research and I lost like 28% for late marks. Plus, I lost my original results and the instructions (they were in the same binder) and I looked all over for them! And I was supposed to hand that in! Fuck! I've never failed a course before. Well, this is a wake-up call, I guess...

Anyway, other than that, I had such a great time, this week.

Sunday, I worked at the Grey cup.

Thursday, Sir Langdon makes a surprise visit and proceed to get drunk and hi.

On Friday, I got to hang out with the MNC!!!! Fucking good time!!!!!!!!!!!! Sir Lynes, Sir De Montigny, Sir Nassr, Sir De Lorme, Miss Lorie, Miss Ziemba, Sir Brigden, Miss Baskin, Miss Jasmine, Sir Nutbey, Sir Morrison, sir American: you guys fucking rock! Fuck ya! Gee-golly!

Anyway, We went to the flix. Apparently, the owner is adamently pro-Bush which made the bouncer change his mind about having me take off my USA tie. Then, Sir Nutbey got kicked out so we went to la Brass. Good time there. We all got fucking trashed and had great conversations. I smoked a cigarette and Sir Lynes put on an awesome playlist on the Jukebox (including metallica, queen, etc.) that culminated with us all singing summer of 69 together. Fuck! That was great!

Thats what drinking is all about. By the way, Z-force, if you're reading this, in my country (Quebec), we can drink at 18! Thats what allows for such great times: young folks can get together and be do crazy juvenile shit AND get drunk!!!!

I always thought the MNC was too good for me. I have self-esteem issues or something. I seriously thought I wasn't cool enough for them. But now I know that I can hang with y'all! Thanks s a lot guys!!! Y'all rock!!!!!!!

I've decided that I'm going to write an lj entry everyday, just not a long one in order to make it easier for everyone.
OK. Today I went to a picnic organized by my dad's union (PSAC). It sucked!!! There was a huge line-up for burgers and it wasn't moving at all. So we just said "fuck it" and went home for some ribs. We did have a little fun, however. Since it was a union picnic, left-wing parties and groups were there to try to get support. I went to the communist party's table and they had these newspapers, books and stuff. I asked them if it was free litterature and they said no it costs. So I said: Oh? So your communist litterature is sold at market prices, established, of course, by supply and demand?
LOL!!!! Stupid left-winged hippocrites.

I started a workout plan. So, soon you'll be seeing a more manly, sexualer Jonas!

BTW, fuck that french lj thing. I'll practice my written french some other way. Any suggestions?

The past couple of days I've found it really hard to wake up in the mornings. I would just sleep in as long as possible. I had these dreams that I just did not want to end! They were like, better than my real life so I just didn't want it to end... I noticed a reccurring theme in these crazy mixed up dreams: I lived life dangerously! I died a couple of times but I didn't care. It was worth it!

I noticed that that's what was missing in my life: danger! I wasn't sure what to do but I knew I had to live life more on the wild side!

So... yesterday I decide to do some bonding with Noah. So, we go to the marina for some wine and gossip... Then we noticed this area with racing sailboats that was completely open. We go in and talk about the boats saying things like: "If this boat was a girl, it would be the fat yet slutty one. If you stay at the bar long enough and have enough drinks, you'll end up with regrets and her, the next morning..."

There were also the yachts protected by those walls with locked doors. I wanted to see just how far we could get to stealing one. NOTE: I NEVER INTENDED TO STEAL A BOAT, I JUST WANTED TO SEE HOW FAR I COULD GO. We could have just swam to the docks but that would have been too easy. I found out that the lock on the door of one of the docks was actually a combo lock. 1 to 5. Generally combo locks have a 3-digit combo. This one wouldn't let you put in the same number twice in the same combo. Quick math: 60 possible combos! I tried the 1-series, so the first 12. Then I realized that I had gone far enough and thought it can't be that easy... So... I decide to quit whilst I'm ahead. We then decide to walk along the bike path for a bit when we notice that there was someone in that sailing club clubhouse place. I waive to him in the window and he comes out to talk to me. He explained what he does: he's the night guard for the boats, etc. He didn't notice me attempting to break in to the docks, though. I tell him that I did try it but I wasn't intending to steal a boat. He said it was all good... Each boat was equipped with an alarm anyway that went off both in the boat and in the clubhouse, thus alerting him if anyone tried to steal a boat. Plus, the boats in the open place were under video surveillance. So, it really wasn't possible anyway! Anyway, he wasn't mad at all. In fact, he found it kind of funny. He said that I can come talk to him again if I'm ever hanging around the marina at night and some other time he might give me a tour to show me the boats or something. He also mentionned that he saw me b4, with another friend swaggering around the beach drunk! OMG! That was that time with Sean. See "Sean Langdon runs like a Welshman! Hmm? Doesn't he? Doesn't he run like a Welshman?" (May 28th). As if! What a chill dude!

Then, coming into the parking lot, I come head on to one of my major fears. A cop was parked there and she called me over. She talks to me a bit. She says that I'm kinda funny. (Awww... Shucks!) Then she asks if I'm drunk. At first I try to deny it but she gives me this look like: "come on... don't try to fool me". In the same way, she gets me to admit that I had been drinking AT the marina, UNDERAGE. But she was really nice. She said she was just bored and didn't want to give me a fine, although she could have... But she gets me to show her my papers. As I'm fumbling through my cards, I'm like: "Shit, not that one thats a fake, thats a fake too. etc..." Anyway, it really looked bad but she just found it funny and said she wouldn't fine me cause I wasn't really bothering anyone. She does do a quick record check on me on her laptop. I see the screen and I'm like: "Holy shit! I never stole a bike or mugged anyone!" Then I realize those were victim reports. I didn't know they kept that in their records. Anyway she asked us if a certain car was ours and stuff and I mentioned that I was feeling like I needed more danger so I was considering becoming a cop and so she explains the process: you do Techniques policières in CÉGEP and then go to police academy for 3 months, which costs $6000! She said that that kind of sucked. So we had a little conversation about policing, what they have the laptops for, etc. Then, she lets us go!!!! I guess she could send us a fine in the mail, anyway, but I don't think she would! This has reaffirmed my belief that COPS AREN'T PIGS!!!

So, then we go to 1 for 1 meet Katie there and talk for a bit and then head home. What a night! I woke up the next morning feeling super! My dreams are BORING!

Today, I went to the Heritage graduation. It was.... anti-climatic.

Have fun, y'all!!!

Hey y'all!!!!!! been awhilst since i wrote on hier. Good news: I passed philo after all, and all courses and my exit assessments.
Here's a breakdown of the 10 marks I am the most proud of (higher) and the 5 shameful ones.

Glass being half full:
Web publishing - 97
Methods I - 95
Philo II - 93
Applied Biz - 89
Spanish - 88
Applied Biz I - 87
Psychology - 87
French I - 87
Litterature II - 84
Intro Commerce - 84

Glass being now half empty:
Calculus I - 65
Linear Algebra - 70
Biz + Society - 73
Canoe Camping - 74
Major Authors in Translation - 75

If you calc out the average of my top ten marks, it comes to over 88. The U of O should give me a $2K scholarship. It was originally going to give me $1500 but my T10 AVG has improved in the winter session.

I went to the University today to deal with a few stuff, get my card, etc. I must admit that this is my 1st student ID with a sexy pic! I am sooooo prowd of it!

Anyway... I'm kinda relieved! I have yet to get a full time summer job but at least i started at aramark tonight! Good times! and the 'gades Raaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwkkkk

Anyway, other than that, my life's been going allright. I'm not doing too bad on my assignments. I'm having a bit of $$$ problems as I am spending my Ekos money so fast (fancy shirt, MP3 CD Player, gift for Noah, etc.) and Ekos has been really dead for a while. However, my mom offered to give me some money because she believes that I should have that fancy shirt, etc. and she doesn't want me to suffer and regret the decision or something. My mom is great. Dammit! I love her! She always nags me: "Get a job so you can buy your own clothes, etc. You'll have to pay your University tuition yourself..." but then, when I do get a job, she offers to pay for my stuff anyway. And after getting accepted into University with a $1500 scholarship, she was happy and thus offered to match my scholarship! She's the best!

Shucks! You know, a lot of people think their parents owe them something. They don't!!! Your mom already gave you the best possible gift: LIFE! She could have had you aborted, you know... Your parents only have to provide you with the bear necesseties. Then, when you're 16, they can legally kick you out! Everything you get from your folks is a gift! You should be very grateful! That is what love is all about!

Anyway, despite all its flaws (like Dosmart), I can't help but think "What a wonderful world". Sometimes, I feel like I can't bear it. The world is just so beautiful! God bless y'all!

Note: This was certainly a milestone in my life.  Someone who I thought was a good friend ratted on me for drinking underage at a college event.  A huge flame war ensued in the comments.  (146 total)  Of course I'm not re-posting the comments on MSN spaces but check it out for urself:  http://deltat.livejournal.com/5345.html
I did eventually forgive Dosmart and I wrote him to tell him that but we were never friends again.  Well, we really went seperate paths in life, anyway...

Shucks! I got fucked over big time by the square known as Dosmart! What a fucking loser!

Here's what happened: I go to the awards banquet. It is like the prom: you eat, get drunk, watch the shows (Sorry to name drop bands, but Willam Dafoe was fucking awesome. The vocal and composition talents of Phil Lynes are, very simply, amazing!)

OK, so in order to save $$$, because I'm running low since Ekos didn't need anyone for weeks, I down most of a bottle of my dad's homemade wine b4 I go, to sort of create a reserve. Naturally this would result in me being fucking drunk the 1st 2 hours or so, then I would need a little more to keep the party going. I'm a little loud but I'm nice...

Dosmart makes up this huge bs like drinking is a sin... It's not! He doesn't know what he's talking about! It's only a sin if you drink to much (i.e. to the point where you can't stand up: gluttony). Even getting drunk is fine although your still morally responsable for your actions whilst intoxicated. He's not even a real Catholic like me! Fucking self-righteous bastard! He tells me that despite being over 18, he would not be drinking. "It's called being smart"... Yeah, more like being square. What is he trying to prove? Why not drink? He's completely illogical.

Anyway, so I find out that the guard tipped off Wayne Ellis that I was drinking underage and he didn't throw me out but the guards were watching me all night so it was very hard to get drinks by proxy. And who tipped the guard off? That's right: Dosmart! He thought he was doing me a favour or something. As if because I'm technically a minor, I'm certainly too immature to drink. As if as soon as you turn 18, you magically become a mature responsable citizen. Obviously, this guy isn't if he is disloyal to his friends.

Ladies and gentleman, I'm graduating from CÉGEP. How's that for mature? Like, every other 2nd year could drink and many 1st years too. But because I'm a couple months ahead of the herd, I'm just not good enough. So, basically, I spend the night mostly sober. And other than the talent show, it was rather boring... (Without alcohol, that is.) I managed to sneak a few drinks thanks to this wonderful girl from my class who stuck her neck out for me, cause all the guards were watching me. But unfortunately, it was not enough...

Now, as a good Catholic, like Dosmart was trying to make me look like I wasn't because of the great sin of *gasp* drinking under age, I will forgive him, but not now. I need to keep a grudge for a little while. I was screwed big time. It will take me a while to get over this. But soon, I will forgive him, but we can never be friends again.

Sup y'all! I biked in to EKOS today. My biking clothes consisted of bermuda shorts (I think that's what they're called) and my "I don't discriminate, I hate everyone" shirt. One of my supervisors, Jake, kindly asks me if I remember the dress code. Hehe... not to worry I had a fancy shirt and Khakis in my bag. I started working in French today. I was wondering why I didn't get any French projects before. Apparently, they did not have me down as french-capable, even though I clearly stated that in my app. Hehe french canadiens are so much nicer than english ones. It's like:
"On fait un sondage pour le gouvernement. Avez-vous quelques minutes?"
"Non. Pas maintenant"
"Daccord. Est-ce qu'on peut vous rappeler un autre moment?"
"Non, merci"

This is a very common style of RF.
OK it may not seem so polite but if you don't want to do the survey don't let us call you back, it's just going to end up in heartbreak for another interviewer... The french are very polite to you, but they are confident enough to let you know up front that they're not interested. Much better etiquette! Hehe, I'm glad I got in on french. Else, I wouldn't have got any work today.

I achieved my personal goal of 6 interviews per shift, today. That's 1,2 per hour. (It's on the Kyoto project) That felt good!

My favourite restaurant's closed. Dammit I loved the Rideau Centre Taco Bell!!!!!! Apparently there are still other Bell's in Ottawa such as the one at Bayshore. But, dammit! A succesful restaurant chain MUST have a downtown location. Else, they're not cool!

Anyway, that is all for now, friends!

Have fun!

I just remembered this really hilarious dialogue from South Park:
Jimmy: I tried ecstasy, once... M... Meh... Me and my girlfriend took some and we stayed up all night, having sss... sssex!
Stan: Where did you have sex with her, Jimmy?
Jimmy: In her v... vagina.

Gee golly! I am laughing my ass off! Have fun, y'all!

This entry is dedicated to Sean Langdon (aka errantmind). He's the best Sean ever!!! Sean has taught me that slacking off can be fun in and of itself and how to open my mind. Friends like Sean come one in a billion. He is certainly an intellectually superior person but he is humble about it... Although, we may disagree on somethings: i.e. I am right-wing, Sean is wrong-wing, plus I am Roman Catholic and he is agnostic, we respect eachothers opinions however wrong they may be. Sean has taught me to question authority rather than blindly accepting it and to think outside the box. He is always there to give his friends a confidence boost when they need it and he's very easy to converse with: NEVER a dull moment with Sean! Gee Golly! Sean knows how to parté and is always willing to share! Good times aplenty with Langdon and a myriad advice. In short, Sean is off the hizzo fo' shizzo, he's all that and a bag of chips and he's the ow in wow!

Thanks for being my friend, dawg!

P.S. I'm not gay, y'all, I'm just giving lip-service to a good HETERO friend!

Special note: I wrote this about two years ago and at the time I was feeling really down for some reason...  It was mostly filled with self-pity and 'woe is me' kinda talk but about a month later, I deleted most of that and these days I'm feeling great.  Let this post attest to the fact that even when things look pretty bad, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.  As the Spice Girls say: "Never give up on the good times, living it up is a state of mind..."  Cheers!

Hollo, y'all! Hehe... I'm trying to keep up a certain wildlife theme to my mood but I could not think of any new animals today so I did a Google Search. At first thought, I was like "Whatever you do, don't put 'I'm feeling lucky!'" but suprisingly, the results were rather refined! Anyway, check this out: http://www.desertusa.com/sept96/du_chuckwalla.html

I'm actually feeling kinda tired today, after slacking off... So much for my productive breaks! I was supposed to bb-sit some kid for $20 per day, 3x a week but there was a change of plans. I'm actually kind of glad because I had plans to catch up on my homework, apply for real jobs, party, etc. and I would have had to bb-sit from 8h-15h and it would have only come to $2,85 per hour! That is $4,45 per hour less than minimum wage... It is, very simply, not worth it!

I hate dialup, but my folks refuse to pay for hi-speed so I DESPERATELY need a job! I want the freedom to dl music at will. Yes, I recognize that it is illegal, immoral, etc. but Gee Golly I love the idea of a free instant jukebox! Currently, I have to make do with old mix CDs from when we used to have cable internet subsidized by the government. That was awesome! They paid $15 per month but it was only for 2 years or so!

But this song is great! LOL! This is actually a mix of Christian songs... It's empowering! Shucks! I have not been a good Catholic recently! I have not kept my lenten vows, etc. I've really got to start going to Youth Group more often and St. Mary's! Shucks! Although they're your stereotypical Ontarians, I miss those guys!

Wow! I must be really rambling on and on... It's strange: I don't feel very introspective right now... Hmmm... I just feel like writing up a storm, however!

I saw Star Wars Episode II today, for the first time. It was rather disappointing!

Shucks! Everything seems mediocre in my life. Even intoxication seems boring to me now... I'm not really depressed or anything. I've just got the blues, I guess! That's how I'm feeling: sooo damn empty! Shucks! I have no idea what can fill this emptiness... It sounds pretty pathetic, ladies and gentlemen, that's because it is!!!!!

Anyway, back to happy anecdotes! I played blackjack with my 6-year-old brother a lot today! Shucks! I love that little guy. He always beats me though! It's amazing how many times he gets an actual blackjack (21)! He's a little cardsharp!

Well, I've spoken my peace! Continuez le cammionnage, y'all!!

As some of y'all might know, I used to use livejournal.  I've since switched to MSN Spaces and enjoy it a lot.  But there are a bunch of old posts from lj, that have not made it to here...  until now!  I'm now officially copying most of my lj posts on to my MSN space for your enjoyment.  In case y'all still want to see my lj, though: http://deltat.livejournal.com

Have fun!!!!!!
