What you so despise.

I bought dis thing, it's called an iPod Touch and it does a bunch of stuff rite.

I'mma need all yall numbers so I can totally liek text and stuff. 'cause you know, there's an app for that, I don't even need to pay for a plan as long as I'm in a wifi zone.

I like telling this one to people:
I'm walking on Bloor street (I'm there often) and there's this Fish & Chips place called Chippy's. And they have one of those stand-up signs outside their little crib. And every day there are different fish puns written on it. A couple weeks ago, someone had drawn a fish dressed as Lady Gaga and the caption said "Cod in a Bad Romance". I lol'ed, went in, and ordered cod and told them that I only came in because of their sign. They're pretty proud of their sign, and apparently they have this in-house competition to come up with the best puns.

NO, I DON'T WANNA BE FRIIIIEEEEEENDSSSSSS
COD IN A BAD ROMANCE

Is my love your drug?

What is with this human desire to escape that which makes us who we are?

Why do we turn to the external? Alcohol; drugs?

What are we trying to escape? Is our existence so dull that we need to run away from it with narcotics?

Yes it is.

While many can be content with living with what they have, others would much rather explore the world further, even if that means going into the darkest depths of their minds to see what's in there, in that locked room.

You can escape, but you can also retreat into that room that no one but you can claim ownership to. No one can really ever see what's in that room, only you. And only you have the key to open it.

Will you turn the handle?

Stolen

It's not fair.
See, I have this friend that I've known since.... grade four. We're not amazing friends, but she's pretty cool. Last summer I introduced her to this other friend of mine, from Katimavik. And now this other friend of mine is totally best friends with her, and she's friends with all his friends and blah blah... And I feel left out.
Am I QQ'ing a little much? Maybe. But I feel jealous. They always talk to each other now, plan things together and I'm just a bystander.

I haven't made a new friend in a long while. So when old ones drift away, I feel it, man. Guys totally have feelings, man.

What should I do? Okay, maybe, I'll make an effort to hang out with said person. More. And then whatever, it'll all be cool I guess.

But here is Saturday night, and I'm just drinking it away. Oh joy.

One Wonderful Event

Well, maybe wonderful is a bit misleading. Silent content is how I feel about this situation.

So for 10% of our grade, we have to contribute to a blog over the course of a month on any topic that can be linked to course material. The teacher is using blogspot. Oh man, intense.

Will Kaleidoughscope make an appearance as such, or will a clever disguise be used instead? My years of blogging (3 months of which were professional), have paid off supremo, I would say!

I enjoy blogging (do not derive that I think of it as a chore because I don't post often), and for the first time in a long time I can use stuff that I do anyway and merge it with school with no problems.

It'll also let me unload my philosophical stuff that I have in mind so that I don't bother people with it on a daily basis. That is, recently, I've taken an inkling to harassing people with philosophical questions about what they're saying and so on. It's uh, a little plague-like.

Anyway, three cheers to philosophizing!

#1: Shoelace Shambles

Once during my time in Katimavik, near the end of my trip, I decided to post a list of things that irritate me and I found that it was incredibly easy to do such a thing.

Unfortunately, the list was never really legible due to some weird formatting bug, but I found that the act of posting such a list relieved a lot of the tension I was feeling near the end of Katimavik.

I've fixed the list, and it can be found here.

I am now launching an entire blog initiative based on this concept. I can't say I'm living a particularly stressful life at the moment, but I like the concept of having content to write every day.

That's not to say that I'm abandoning the concept of life updates on my blog, but henceforth they shall be accompanied with something irritating. I'll also be trying to add way more pictures to posts, as people have suggested. Featuring original photography whenever possible!

Without further ado, I present to you my first topic: shoelaces.

You know when you go to tie a shoe, and you notice that one side of the lace is much longer than the other? You have to make a huuuuge loop just so you use that entire side of the lace, and it just ends up becoming loose anyway.

Sure, you could de-lace the shoe and make it even, but more often than not you're on your way out and you just don't have the time to do that. Eventually, you forget about the shoe, but subconsciously you know something's wrong. You know something's uneven on you, and you inevitably end up looking at your shoe once in a while and damning the shoelace.
