It was nice going for a walk, the sun was out and it wasn't cold. After shoppers I decided to get some tea at the new Starbucks they built by my place. I've always been a Timmies person, and was bias towards Starbucks. I always thought the people in there looked snooty. You know, those "artsy fartsy" types, with shiny macs on their laps, thick frames, and clothes that look like it was either bought at a garage sale or a thrift store, probably both. Go here to see what I mean : http://www.yourscenesucks.com/.
I don't know why I didn't like those types. I think it might be because I see so much of them, they all sorta look the same. When there's so much of the same and they are always together in the same areas, they just come off like fakes, posers, just trying to look "hip" and be part of a crowd. It didn't bother me, it wasn't like I'd see them and think "aw fuck, I hate those guys". I wasn't totalllly ignorant. I mean, who knows, maybe every single one of them loves Apple products, loves mixing wacky retro clothes together, loves that sturdy feeling thick frames can only provide, and especially loves hangin' out at Starbucks like no tomorrow. Okay that's totally mean, I guess what I'm saying is, I want to still give them the benefit of the doubt.
Either way, I just figured I didn't want to be around them, maybe I felt like I wasn't going to fit in or I just really liked Timmies. Besides, I really didn't like that whole "venti, grande, tall" bullshit. I get it, I get it, its all Italian and shit, and "venti" is twenty in Italian, and a "venti" is around 20 ounces at Starbucks, but geebus come on.
Anyway, I sorta liked just sitting there drinking my tea today. It was nice, they had nice music playing. That's what's very different than Timmies. Music really adds to the atmosphere. Of course their interior design is pretty nice too. I'm not saying I hate that very utilitarian style of Timmies, it's all about function with Timmies. Starbucks is about pleasure I guess. The crowd's always like 15 years younger than your common Timmies crowd, which is sorta nice. I was really getting depressed being surrounded by old people. So I guess what I'm trying to say is, it was nice. Plus, this Starbucks wasn't really packed with a lot of scenesters.
I cleaned and organized my room a bit, it has been a mess lately. I took a picture of my little coffee table, which I now use keep some books. I need to go to Ikea or something, get one of those book braces that holds a pack of books together from tipping. Yes, I took a picture of it, I liked how it looked.

Goodbye cave, hello cheese storm
It's been a long time since I blogged about anything. I have a lot to say, but usually I'm too lazy to say it, or I'm too embarrassed. I figured it's time to stop being lazy, and start being productive and true to myself.
Today has been a hard day, but also a day that has made me truly look at myself and face my weakness. I finally just broke apart today. I've been holding my pieces together, but I was a fool to think I could do it forever. I've learned I'm weak sometimes, just like everyone. I'm not some super human who can fix is own problems without the help of others. I've realized, friends, if they truly are your friends, won't judge you, but will help you no matter what. They will help guide you out of that dark cave, as super cheesy as that sounds.
I'm going to try to be more open, starting here. So for anyone who comes by, I sorry for this cheesy as post. For someone else, I'm sorry, I will truly try my best to be a better man from now on.
<:)

god damnit
I always have something to write about. Something in my mind, something I think about when I'm on the subway, or laying on the bed, or taking a god damn crap, but as soon I get here, all that feeling of wanting to write something is gone, like I shit it out in the toilet. On a totally unrelated note, if you're thinking about just moving the kleenex box from your room to the car 'cuz your too lazy to just buy one for the car, don't. You'll thank me when you have a sudden explosive sneeze and aren't flippin' out looking for god damn tissue paper. I also added my playlist from playlist.com on the side. That prolly just increased the load time by like10 seconds, but it was totally worth it.

photraits set
Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.
I like this set. It starts with a close friend and ends with a complete stranger. It contains my friends, lovers, co-workers, and strangers. I hope to add more to this set and try new things. Why is there a 'h' in portraits? To be honest, no real reason. Just thought I'd add the 'h' since my flickr account is "phocrastinating" (see that?). Anyways, I hope atleast one other person enjoys this other than me. :)

PV can't sleep
Like the title says, I can't sleep. Bahhh, sorta annoying. At least Jas is up, it's nice to talk to someone when you can't sleep. I'm starting to think I may be developing some sorta badass sleeping pattern. There's not enough time in a day. I feel like it's becoming a hassel to sleep. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind comes up for some reason. Anways, I better run off before I get (more) corny or something.
However, I'm leaving the lyrics for Goosestep!
When you're riding the rails with those wide open eyes,
Well, there's one old south paw you will always fight.
And alone on a worn-out throne
is the reigning queen of the questions
Why we blind-footed toddlers ever started out.
So don't get into it with me
When I goose-step
Across the kitchen floor
You know I still adore
All your mother's old-fashioned ways
I'm so impressed that you hear
My inventions, and that it matters more
Than what you saw with your eyes
Go along with the plan
Your head will still be there where you put it
Under the bed with the ice cream you could never find
And tonight you go to bed and dream
All the world to be what you want it,
You got the girly draw now flaunt it,
And keep them all checking their watches
When you're out tonight
So don't get into it with me
When I goose-step across the kitchen floor
You know I still adore--
Are your eyes changing hands?
I'm so impressed that you hear
My inventions, and that it matters more
Than what you saw with your eyes

PV gets corny



Took the long way home today. It's nice sometimes, to have a little adventure, you get to see new things or in this case, visit old places you haven't seen in awhile. It was nice being back at Rouge station, reminded me of my high school days. I usually have mixed feelings about that place, but today was nice. Not much has changed, 'cept the west bound 54 now doesn't re-enter the station >:| So many memories lay around. I tried imagining me walking around the area years ago. Where I would have been, standing? Sitting? Who was I with? What was I doing?
Also gave my mind time to just relax. I never realized how simple high school was, how I had so much control. That thought used to bother me, but it's alright now. I realize there's nothing to worry about. I've been letting things just hang loose, hoping it'll sort it self out, but if I keep doing that I'm going to get nowhere. *CORNY ALERT* It's time I start living life, and not just stand still like a statue as life goes on around me.
