Hypno

man, what an amazing week!

Okay so, we had a hypnotist come to our school. He was the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

He took 14 people up on stage with him and hypontised them all at once, which was impressive.
I expected it to be like 1 at a time..
but It was so awesome.
He told them all that they had a babies, and they were cuddling them and playing peekaboo and such...
WITH AIR!
Yeah. And my friend Jewel was up there. It was great.
Then the hypnotist told them that the baby was crying, louder and louder...
The Jewel hold up her [Imaginary] Baby. It was so horrible and sooo Funny, i almost cried.
But yeah. Then he brought up the three girls. and told them;
when i snap my finger, you will not be able to remember your name. The harder you try to remember your name, the more you will forget it.
AND
If you were to see some one forget their own name, you would think it would be the most funny thing in the universe. The thought of someone forgetting their own name make you laugh out loud....
So he counted to three and they were snapped out of it.
He told them that they we on a game show and all they had to d is answer one question and they would win $50,000. the question was;
What is your name?
he asked jewel. you could see the realization in her eyes when she couldn't remamber her own name...
It was awesome. and both the other girls almost had tears from laughing at her, so he told jewel to go stand to her side. and asked one of the girls
"Isn't that crazy, she can't even remember her own name.."
"Yeah *laugh*"
"You would never forget your name, right?"
"Oh, No way!"
"Oh yeah? What is it?"
Immeadiate Face change... (this poor girl looks like she was about to cry)
"I... I... I Dont know.. I... I Cant Remember"
Jewel starts laughing Really hard, and the hypnotist turns to her.
"Whats so funny?"
"She Cant Remember her name"
"What your name?"
"I dont know!"
She was laughing So hard.
Then he's like "Are you sure you can't remember, Jewel?"
"Yes"
"But, Jewel, Are you sure?"
"I dont know it..."
Yeah, he said he name and she didn't know it.. it was aweseme.
Did soem parkour with Gray. I finally got my coils down...
but anyway.

Hello There, The Angel From My Nightmare...

I'm just a touch busy lately...
I have thirty hours of work coming up this week and next in total. I will be a touch busy. I've been having a crazy week, between doing a little Christmas shopping/planning
Parkour has been crazy, we are getting a lot of interest, we are probably going to add three people to our group. two people i know and on that Gray knows.
I think the majority of my friends are going to get a card with a five sheet in it but a few are going to get really expensive gifts.
If i give you a five sheet it not that i don't love ya to death, its just i had no god damned clue what to get you.. but no worries..
Gray came over today, we played some mirrors edge. I love that games its pure awesome.
Like, if you bought a can of pure awesome, and opened it. Mirrors edge would pop out.
Meh, I'm not feeling bloggy tonight.

I never give birds that i draw legs... Is That Cruel?

I once heard someone say that they were as close to their friends as they are to the shirt on their back.
I disagree.
I want to be as close to my friends as a tattoo inked on my arm.
In light of that, i will now explain the future artwork of my body.
I am getting arm sleeves of tattoo's, they will be a bunch of little pictures, connected by tribal. with each picture representing a different person.
Gray will be a blackjack, Rae will be a tiger. and so forth and so on.
I love my friends dearly and want to remember them forever, even when we fight i still love them all to death.
I dunno what i would do without them. They are my pillars to lean on, they are the sunshine and the moon light to me.
Earth Wind Water and Fire.
My life is composed of you all, I thought i would dedicate tonight's to thanking you for accepting me as the freak that i am.
From gray, who is basically my only male friend, to Wind, my personal therapist.
We will be friends forever, you all know too much.
Its my friends that keep me here, if it weren't for you guys, i would be up and outta here ASAP.
Either that or i woulda off'ed myself a while ago.
But yeah. I thought i would tell you guys.
I love you guys with all my heart.
Special shout to;
Rae; You make my life more interesting then well... anything. Keep it up. I wish i could say more, but theres alot to go unsaid..
Wind; I know we got some trust issues at the moment. but my loyalty stays where it is. You've helped more times then i can count. You don't have a clue how grateful i am...
Gray; dude, sometimes it is nice to have a guy friend that i can just be a dude with, and not be insulted or have someone constantly try to upstage you. plus any dude that will be excited with me when i tell him I'm going shoe shopping is alright in my book
But to all the rest. You guys make my world, and keep my in school. You are the clowns of my circus. The Demons of my hell, and the the court jesters of my kingdom.
I may not be king, but you guys amuse the fucking hell outta me.
Forever and Always.

Urbanfreeflow and Work

Where am i going, and why am i in a handbag?
So i recruited a new tracuer, Jazz, she messes with Mary Jane too.
We must know the same type of people :D
I'm pumped, i just got my first paycheck, $150
I'm going to buy Parkour shoes, they are probably going to cost me $130 but they are Nice!
Then i'm training Jazz on sunday.
I have to duct tape my sister and her friends mouth..
Back to the topic, which was nothing.
I worked from 9 til 3 at zellers and then from 4 til 8:30 at the gift shop.
I never want to stand again.
Except for parkour of course..
Currently checking out Urban Freeflow @
www.urbanfreeflow.com
.
I am so exausted,

ive actually been contemplating the perfect world.
It sux!

parkour and gansters...

What a cool day.
Gray and i did some parkour.
Afterschool, we went to the front of the city market. Did some good Archemedis Circles, and definatly improved on some old skills. I can punch off better, and i learned how to speed vault.
Flippy came to see us too, he impressed Gray alot.
We are planning to recrut from our school to join our team, but we lack a team name.
Any suggestions for a parkour team name, leave in the comment box!
We were thinking of just holding an info session at school...
just bring people in for some intro stuff to parkour.
But i figured that with Mirrors Edge being out, that people would want to try. and nothing would Irk me more then
Poser Traceurs
ugh, nothing pisses me off more then wanna bees
Its like when you see these wangsters, walking around saint john. Trying to be gangster. Gangster is a way that you grow up, not something that you can buy with a few bucks and have a fucking cocky attitude.
Anyway. I dont want people saying 'Yeah i do parkour' when really they just do it shitily, that would bring down how special it is...
But i gotsta get going
Peace!

Meep!

So i had a good day today.
I'm downloading some music...
I hung out with goddess today, at lunch. She's was in such a good mood, Although very hyper. She quit winter.. she came to school wearing capri's and it was nasty cold, and windy.
But no, she quit wind too. Poor thing.
Shes a ballerina, and shes got really nice legs.. i don't know how she can do that.. too much toe work, i think.
I've always wanted to learn the salsa, or the tango. They are such interesting dances, they are the most sophisticated thing you can do while still coming close to basically having sex on the dance floor...
Back onto the topic at hand. We wandered into the source, she was looking at everything. She managed to find their purple phones...
Whoa memory lapse.. i think i just got hit with a slight case of amnesia... stupid texts..
Back on topic. or at least back on tangent .
Purples not really my color. I like red and black, it really depends on what you mix them with, like yellow and black are cool, but yellow alone isn't. I think its just stuff that suits the eyes, like how jeans go with anything.
And that why i only wear jeans.
One of my teachers has a broken rib or something so we had a sub today. it was the head of our bio department. She not a very... favoured teacher to have.
Hey I'm actually doing a nice full blog today. Although I'm slowly learning that its hard to type and not look at the keyboard.
So i figure that my brain is basically like a giant room with a whole bunch of candles. Some of the flames are large, some are small, and some are completely out. Each candle is a subject of my thoughts. As an example, my parkour candle was low about a month ago, but then i downloaded the mirrors edge demo. I basically sparked the flame up to a full burn. which sucks because that is a seasonal candle that can only be lit in the summer. You can't parkour in the winter you will fall off a building and break your legs...
I've always wanted to see someone fall off a building and make a perfect hole in the ground in the shape of their bodies, like on the loony toons!
You can try your hardest but you will always remember something that you dont want to...

Vipers, my weekend, and the flow.

I am a lurker.

I hide in the darkness, biding my time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

I watch what happens around me with quiet calculation.

When the time is right, I move with the swift and deadly accuracy of a viper.
-----
I find that my weekend posts are much more interesting...
I was supposed to be going out to do some parkour but its piss pouring rain out so that sucks, and sparks [Formerly Blaze, she requested a name change =D] cant come anyway.
Oh well, I didn't really do much this weekend, just sat around and relaxed.
Actually Rae is coming awfully close to figuring out something that i was try to keep a secret. She came pretty close, oh well, kudos to her for trying.
I went to improv after school Friday. It was fun. I got assigned a rule so that each scene i had to wear a mask for the whole scene. Pretty cool.
There's not actually much to say for the weekend. So ill leave you with an intro to a story
-----
Once this city used to pulse with energy, Dirty and Dangerous – But Alive and Wonderful.
Now It’s Something Else.
The Changes Came Slowly at first, Most didn’t Realize, or didn’t Care and Accepted them,
They Chose a comfortable life.
Some Didn’t.
And those who refused to conform were pushed to the sidelines and criminalized.
They became our clients.
We Call Ourselves Runners
We live on the edge, Between the gloss and the reality The Mirror’s Edge
We keep out of trouble and out of sight and the cops don’t bother us.
Runners see the city in a different way.
We see the flow; Roof tops become pathways and routes of escape.
The Flow is what keeps us running.
It keeps us alive.

Dum Di Da Di Da

Dum Di Da Di Da
So, I had a good day today.
My Days should be consistant of:
Wake Up
Go To School
Go To Work
Go Home

Pass Out For the Night
They should.
actually, technically i'm not working this week, which sucks.
I wasn't put in at all on the schedule. I'm beginning to think they want to fire me :P
But yeah. I hung out with Gray at lunch, he needed pics for his photgraphy class. So i let him take a few pics of me.
So yeah.
Actually anyone who knows me should be scratching their head [With the exception of Rae, who will have hers tilted to the side]
I hate having my picture taken. I do all i can to avoid it,
My sister is the exact oppisite, she has some 600 pictures of herself
She's tried to take pics of me before, she fails horribly :D
but today was an exception,
I was doing Parkour
Or in Rae's Case; Learning to kill myself and make it look like an accident ^.^
anyway, so i was basically climbing things and trying not to fall off 'em
I probably wouldn't be as pissed at getting hurt as i would at getting sand in my hair >.>
I have been having fairly uneventful day, which is quite horrible. Gives me nothing to write about.
Oh one thing. I have crushes on WAAAAAAYY to many girls.
Like too many to count on my hands. I can't help it, why do they all have to be so cute >.>
Even without looks i have a crush on a few of them because they have such great personalities, but they're generally the egyptain type.
Like i met a group of girls at the bus stop who were all way too cute for their own good.
but i guess i will have to get used to it. If only i could have all of 'em... ... .. . . .. . .
Back to reality.
I guess that will be it for now.
If your readin this, drop in a comment [aside form Gray and Rae) I'd love to take a quick head count.
Oh yes, Over a hundred views :D:D:D:D:D YAY!!

So i figured out that more people read this then i thought...
I thought it was just Rae that was reading, with Gray poking in once or twice.
But i had Phoenix come up to me the today and she told me that she was reading along. She was also wondering what her nickname would be. Truethfully, half of them i make up on spot. On this one, i consulted with Rae.
The purpose of the nicknames are to preserve people identity. in case i say something i shouldn't, the whole world doesn't know who I talking about.
Lets, see. work sucked.. What else is new?
School was fun, Kinda uneventful.
We had our rememberence day ceremony today.
I dont like rememberence day. I respect that we have it, i just dont like it.
actually, the Never Again song is the worst part. I haven't heard it since grade six cuz i absolutly hate it. It used to get stuck in my head til christmas. X_X I used to cover my ears and hum whenever it came on. My friend just tld the teacher that i lost someone in the war...
My little sister has her friend over and they are hyper... I want to duct tape their lips...
Anyway on a more happy note. I get to sleep in tomorrow!
Resting is fun, I love when your laying in the bed in the morning and drifting half in and out of dreams
No music tonight. My media player is being... inconsistant
Why is a Raven Like a Writing Desk?
Anyone got he answer?

Egyptains and Dill Pickles

Yay work!
I've worked 12 hours so far, 2 four hour shifts and a 7 and a 1/2
Okay so almost 12 hours...
I work with rainbow and ... oh wait... Nope mistress got fired. Nevermind.but i woprk with rainbow! I spent my day folding towels...
Anyway.
Story time.
I have this analogy about egyptains...
Basically, I can read people like books. Most people's emotions show on their faces, easy to read.
About 50% of these books are english. I can read them with no problem.
Another 45% are French. I can basically understand the easy parts...
The there are the 5% that are in Egyptain.
Bird Dot Eye Eye Dot Hand
WTF?!?!
Those are people like Rae, and Psycho (thats not in a bad way, she's just alot of fun)
I would say luna, but it seems that she only has one mood lately...
but anyway, I call these people egyptains cuz i have no idea their moods no matter what they looked like.
Like, Psycho. There were days that she like me and day's that she though i was a disgusting maggot, and ran away from me... (okay that was exagerated) but still. She was successful in Confusing me and actually making me give up on trying to date her, This was after she kissed me! Yeah. Yeah. That was a hell of a summer >.>
But she's still awesome.. She sends me art sometimes which is cool.
I'm off on a tangent...
Speaking of tangent.
there's an IB saying...
I wish I was a Tangent so i could lay adjacent to your curves
Yeah figure that out. :D
There's also;
I wish I was a Helicase So I could Unzip your genes.
But I'm off topic again. But then again, i never had a topic so i cant rightly be off it can i?
This is like my weekend post i think...
My brain feels like a sponge...
Why does a circle pizza come in a square box?
Can you cry underwater?
If a whole chicken lays a whole leg every day, and half a chicken lays a half an egg every half a day, how long would it take a monkey with a wooden leg to kick the seeds out of a dill pickle?
So yeah, that it for today. More music though
Rap: Jason Mraz - Geek In The Pink
Metal: Avenged Sevenfold - Burn It Down (Xtended Breakdown)
Classic Rock: Ram Jam - Black Betty
Techno: DJ Venom - Inspector Gadget
Mainstream: Fall out boy - Sugar We're Going Down

Coffee and parties...

Life is a handful.
think I've been forgetting titles on these >.> Oh Well...
So i went to Timmy's today. Just normally chatted with friends, Goddess, Luna, everyone... Anyway while we were walking to school from Timmy's, Panda offered me her Drink. It was coffee...
I Don't drink coffee.. its too bitter, i dont like bitter.
Oh and I find that if you dont get you coffee, you become bitter.
But anyway. So i took her Triple Triple, and drank it. It was actually Pretty Good
O.O
Yeah... I know...
so yeah.
Actually There are a few of us that have our Math Midterm today. Goddess was of them. She came rushing out, begging everyone for a calculater. We are in the same class but she has her math class earlier, so i leant her mine and told her to give it back to me at next break.
She didn't come out. I was a bit worried. So i went off to second class, praying that she came out next break. I really needed a calculater, cuz you cant do LOG's in your head...
But she came out next class with good news, she said:
"Guy's That Mid-Term was brutal!"
Oh how right she was. But thankfully I actually studied for this one. So it wasn't bad. I'm sure i passed it.
But Yeah, i had improve at lunch.
Lalala...
Oh Yeah, theres going to be a party at Gray's house soon for his friends birthday. Which is cool.
I've been meaning to go to a good party lately anyway, I love having a social life.
The only problem with parties is that I never have the money or resources (buyers) to get anything for me, so i never actually get to have any. But thats okay, I Dont mind being a medic.
After school i stopped off at work got some paperwork and then went to my other job. Yeah, Its been a pretty dull day since. I may go out bowling with a co-worker of mine next weekend. I dunno. But i will be off for the night.
I think I will start recommending songs to my readers..
I have tastes in all types of music. Todays Music Choices will Be
Metal - Bullet for my Valentine - Hand Of Blood
Rap - Kanye West - Golddigger
Techno - Dj Shadow - Organ Doner
Classic Rock - Brain Adams
Mainstream - Paramore - CrushCrushCrush
There ya go, sooner or later i will run outta music >.>
See Ya's Later

I had a very mixed day.
I had to go in for math help at lunch. I learned something. I don't like my teacher.
All the math teachers i have had have been really crappy, i think its just me. They Just really aren't my teaching style... We kinda clash, but when i went downstairs, i got everything immediately. Just shows the difference that a teacher can make.
I had a 59% math early in the semester. That's a really crappy mark, I mean Your like, half an inch off from passing.
Now I'm up to 67% which is okay, but i think i will have to aim a bit higher. I can do it. Just I need to concentrate more on my work.
After school I went to My first day on the job.
That was interesting. I sat in front of a mini tv for a half an hour and ate popcorn and watched cheesy training movies.
They had some important things to say. Such as:
There was a bottle shown and on the warning label it said:
Warning; Dangerous when mixed with acid.
Oh yeah.. Cuz you know, acid alone isn't going to burn through your skin or anything, we have to mix it to make it really dangerous...
Next on the list of Stupid thing;
Even hiding Stolen good under a baby won't help thieves
Oh yeah, because when I'm stealing pitchforks, that's where i wanna put 'em. I mean c'mon, who's gonna look under a baby for a pitchfork?
Next!
The Skull and crossbones on this cans means that its poisonous
Really? No Kidding? I thought It was Pirate in a Can!
Well, I guess i will have to get my Aerosol Scurvy somewhere else...
Also i Found new terminology recently
Bio-Luminescence
The Ability to give off light.
Like a firefly.
I was watching a little bit of Journey To The Center Of The Earth.
I almost wish i were Bio-Luminescent but it would be a bitch to sleep
Can you imagine how hard it would be to sleep when you glow in the dark?
But Yeah. I met a dude today at work who seems pretty cool, I may tell you guys more about him later, but i don't even have a suitable nickname for him yet, so no worries.
Peace!

What a day.
We had bus saftey in the morning.. Thats was a pain. I don't take a school bus.
I dont need to know this stuff, and i dont need this stuff messing up my timetable either...
I got an extended math cless, which I happen be just passing.
=/
I dont like math, my teacher is dull. I think I talk and use my cell too much...
I'm getting a 67% And i need a 75% to keep my job.
So i will try to keep my marks up. I work for the first time tomorrow. I go in for training, and i may be working frieday, then i am volunteering on Thursday. I'm Gonna Be a Workoholic =D
Lunch time was dull. All of the grade twelves [I.e. Most of my friends] went to the Brunswicker to get info on post secondary school
I get to go tomorrow, which means i miss Math :D
I shoud probably be working on my english commentary. Ick, i dont like Elglish commentar's
Its due Friday and i have a test tomorrow...
I think i will go in for math help. Tomorrow at lunch and after school. Just in case, cuz or math midterm is thursday.
I got kissed by a lesbien today.. Which is kinda ironic i suppose. Sparky just randomly game up and grabbed me and kissed me, and she kept doing it...
Strange >.>

Well, i certainly had an interesting weekend.
FYI I hate poetry...
So lets see what happened today...
We had a lockdown during D Block.
Okay so the whole idea of a lockdown, although a good intention.
If your a high school student, you would know the Lockdown routine. If i wanted to shoot up the school, i would know where everyone hides and such, its kinda useless..
Even with locking the doors, its doesn't matter.
But it is appreciated because its the most they could do... sadly...
But me and my friend hid under our table and chatted for the entire time.
Sudden thought, Fruit loops and Grape Juice is horrible.
I also ran Rae into a paino today... at lunch time. We Were just in the music room and I was just doing little things to annoy her, she fell and cracked her head.
I'm feel very sorry about that.. >.>
I went to zeller north today, i had my actual interview :S
I Got my shirt, its red and white.
I'm pretty tired, sorry for no big updates today. I will do a better update tomorrow..

[Untitled]

Have you ever seen a bird fly underwater?
I betcha you haven't.
I have.
I have seen thousands of little hummingbirds all fluttering around underneath the glassy surface.
Chaotic, and undecided. There are no waves.
But acceptance breeds acceptance
First two little birdies Flying in one direction Then Four, Then More,
Thousands of these little birds all flying in one direction.
Until they realize that there is land in front of them.
Hit The Breaks
All thought in union, a single desire not to want to be dried upon shore
But chaos breeds chaos
Up and back do they fly, so that even some of their comrades have no support.
Crash!
Humming birds are scattered and seep back into the ocean.Time to do it all again....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Front of me stretches an endless body of seas
Her Curves Move so naturally As She Dances and Sings a Peaceful tune.
Moving slowly upon the beach,
Her colors range of all the blues of the spectrum, including those which are hidden the human eye
As she dances, prances, and glides.
Along the beach, she does slide
Until she is but what was once just a spark of imagination

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Galloping, striding, blazing a trail
Not ahead,
Not Behind,
Beside Me.
110, 120, 130
His Large Powerful crimson muscles toned perfectly for travelling up to these speeds
Never Taking The Lead
Never Giving It Up
Only Together We Raced

140, 150, 160
Onward he pushed, as did I.
His Four long thick legs, looking as though they had been scorched by the fires of hell.
His Black Eyes Told me all i needed to know.
It said all past any need for a 'why'
Simply a need to Go.
Go.
Go.
To Exist alongside others and Run along with them as an equal.
Simply a Need To Be

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An Angel
Kneeling down, praying to the heavens.
Calm, Soothed, Aware.
Wings spread for comfort in its surrounding.
Slowly, As if infected by a poison,
The tip of an innocent angel wing begins to blacken.
Veins of the furies of the hells slowly crawling, gnawing, taking over.
Death and decay, The smell of rotting flesh.
Burnt, blackened and dead,
The remains of the wing give way to a figure.
A Demon
Crouched Over, Plotting his wills
Demented, Uprisen, Chaotic

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Smile, Smile, Smile
Happy, Happy, Happy
Laugh, Laugh, Laugh.
Please, No! Stop! I Can't...
Happy, Happy, Happy,
Smile, Smile, Smile
Laugh Laugh Laugh
My Cheeks, They Hurt! My Teeth are Going to Break!
Smile, Smile, Smile.
Laugh, Laugh, Laugh
Happy, Happy, Happy
He he, My smile is so happy, my eyes lay askew,
Is it truthfully happiness, When It's Thrust Upon You?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Come away with me
to the land of the paints
Everything is Simple
No fights
No Disagreement.
But I like it here
I am safe.
I have people who love me.
I have people who care about me.
I have people who worry about me.
Come Away With Me
To the land of paints.
Safety and Worry
Love And Care
All of these emotions we would not Dare...
I Will Stay Here.
I keep people safe
I Love people
I Care About People
I Worry About People
Helping Is why I'm Here,
I Will Stay Here.
Come away with me
to the land of the paints
Naught Will you sleep again
Eyes will bore themselves into you!
Never Shall Thy Rest!
Our Unmoving eyes Shall Stare into the darkest recesses of your soul.
We shall Judge your Innocence. Blood Shall Have Blood!
Wash Thy Blood From thy Hands to be cleaned from this affair so unnatural.
Only in aid of other shall thy Repent...
