Alright, I have no other choice but to use the blog as a way of ... communicating.
And I'm hoping Stephanie and Dion are reading this ... as soon as possible.
So, how exactly are we going to have our poem recited?
How are we going to have the mite thing move around and what not ...?
Any ideas? Hmm? Hmm?

Happy Things ... and Other Things.
It would be very sad and pathetic of me to say that there are not a lot of things that make me happy ... SO I'm going to say that there are a lot of things that make me happy. I'm not just saying that to avoid being sad and pathetic ... but making me happy or excited or jubilant isn't all that hard.
If I happen to be rooting for something to happen in such a manner, and if it happens in that manner, I tend to get boisterous and ... very happy. A good example of this would be rooting for a team in any sport (Leafs in the NHL). It's ... a common belief that the Leafs don't do all that good, and I am included within the group who believe this idea. However, if I were watching a game, and they would score, I would honestly yell in excitement. It may be true that they don't always do good, but they're still the Toronto Maple Leafs, and they're still my home team.
In other random news, I heard Palestine's national soccer team got to finally play on home turf against another Arab team. It's kinda sad ... you have to deal with national security and get harassed several times with some issue or another before you get to play soccer. Truly, crazy.
The US elections are also coming to a close, with Obama being the leader, according to CNN. As it is, no matter who comes into power, they will have way too much on their hands with the economy and infrastructure in shambles in the States. If Sen. McCain was to come into power, there is also a high chance of him having a heart attack within the first 3 months of presidency. He's freakin 72 and becoming President ... it's ridiciculous.
Anyway, yeah. I'm ... just going to end it.

Making Me Angry ... Eh?
It's an interesting topic ... this anger stuff. I have often wondered what I would do if I get fully angry ... and by that I mean I grow big fat claws ... and a couple of wings would be nice, and also some dinosaur teeth to rip through someone.
To be very frank, I have no idea what makes me that angry. I tend to label it as being very tolerant, and whatever reason it may be, I just don't seem to get 'that' angry. Some things to irk me, but they're minor things like slow-moving-people-in-the-hallway, annoying jerks etc etc. The only thing that brings me as close to the boiling point as possible is people arriving late for an appointment or something. If I say 11:15, I want the other people there by11:15. I don't mind waiting for five or so extra minutes, even ten would probably get me just slightly annoyed, but coming half an hour later is something that just ... kind of sends me into a small rage; and I mean, small rage.
I guess I am indifferent to what people do. I mean, there are things that can get me annoyed, or a little angry, but nothing that sends me through the roof. People can say what they want, they can act however they want - I know they can't do anything to me unless I lose my bearings and lash out at them, allowing them to do whatever they want while claiming self-defense. Besides, I know that acting on pure hate usually has consequences - such that I do not want to experience.
So, I am still in search of that one thing that can enrage me like no tomorrow. I would love to never find it out - I don't want to see me crazy ... I'd probably pass out.

Title
I couldn't think of an appropriate title to use, so pardon the lame, or crappy title.
So, I went to see Max Payne over the weekend ... with the hopes of seeing a wonderful retelling of the awesome game. And by the time I was out ... I didn't know what to think. I had no words to describe it.
I couldn't say it totally blew because ... it didn't. It did have it's good points, although very few. Nor could I say it was good ... because it wasn't. I could only remark that it was an 'ehhhhhhhhhh' movie - the type you'd love to watch for 4 bucks. It could have been a lot better. I'm sure many were disappointed by the final product - especially the ones who have played the game before.
On the topic of movies ... the movie "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" got a dismal 2/10 rating. I'm glad someone takes the time and effort to pull off such a piece of ... worthless nothing. It's good to laugh at the bottom 100 movies, of all time.
**
The weekend has been pretty darn good overall. Don't you just love it when there's almost no homework and you can do whatever you feel like doing? I do.
As a result, my weekend consisted of going out a little, staying home a lot, hating the weather outside, watching Two and a Half Men (gotta love the show). and eating of course.
So yeah. good week (short day and late start together), good weekend ... 'ehhhhhhhhh' movie, Two and a Half Men, and Family Guy (Gotta love it)
Till next time

Move To the Music ... Live Through My Music
And I'm back to rant about something or the other. I suppose I can start out with music. It's ALMOST my life ... and my passion ... and I love the music I listen to. People tend to like one genre, or one type of music ... and although I would love to include myself into that category, truth is, I just can't.
Bang in some rock music, throw in some rap, add a bit of instrumental ... and mix them up into some ... thing. Also, I'm Indian, so Indian music has a heavy influence on me. I honestly cannot go one day without listening to music. There have been a lot of cases whereby people believe that listening to music helps while studying. And there have also been a lot of cases where people disagree with that. I'm proud to be one of those who can study/work while listening to music. More often than not, it's the parents that tell you to stop listening to the music and to concentrate on your homework (My parents do, at least). I guess we're just different.
So ... like I said, I have a very broad range of music ... it can be something from the Rock genre (Metallica etc.), the rap genre (Eminem - he's CLASSIC, P. Diddy Etc.) and I have a small space for instrumentals (if anyone likes instrumentals ... they should check out Clubbed to Death by Rob Dougan ... it's awesome).
I also don't know what I look for in a song ... for some it's the voice of the lead singer that draws me to the song. For others, it's solely the beat and rhythm of the song that get me addicted to it. As is the case with almost everyone else ... I listen to a song until I get absolutely sick of it, and then come back to it six months later, only to stop listening to it a week later.
I also find music as a great source to ... improve my English. Although a rather large portion of the songs have lyrics that make absolutely no sense, they do tend to provide rather good vocabulary to remember. I'm sure everyone has been given the following scenario: If you were stuck on an island, with no one, and you had to pick 5 things - what would they be? For me, one of the items would DEFINITELY be my music (in the shape of my mp3 player or whatever)
One of my favorite line from a song ... "Now the World Is Gone I'm Just One"
So yeah ... there's my rant about music. You may hate it, you may enjoy it, and I love it.

Little Bit of This ... Little Bit of That
So it's the Thanksgiving Weekend - 2 days of doing absolutely nothing - and then doing everything Monday night .. homework that is.
According to them news, it's the last long weekend before Christmas (I think). I do, however, disagree, since our PA Day is coming up in 2 weeks, or something.
The weather has been ... awesome. Thankfully the cold has been ... away for sometime, sleeping I suppose. Hopefully we can have a white Christmas and have snow all over the place. Gotta love the snow - and winter. Just not the temperature. Winter's good.
What else ... what else ... Friday Night Lights was a big success, I hear. We won, of course. Go Goliaths. And then I saw the report on TV about someone crashing a party and it involved a couple of EYCI Athletes. Why'd they have to ruin it. It was all going good.
NHL Season is officially underway (For those who care). As usual, Leafs are doing ... nothing good, and got murdered by Montreal (stupid Habs). But the Leafs have nothing good ... so I guess it's only natural to get murdered time and time again. It's almost time to give up hopes of them ever doing anything - but maybe after 10 years they will have a spark. Until then, whoever coaches the Leafs ... good luck getting anything through to them. The only thing relatively good is that the team is young ... the rest is garbage. Except Toskala, he's good :)
Anywahoo, I'll post something soon. Maybe later. I don't know.

A New Place ... Yet Same Old Same Old
Alright, full control of the blog feels much better than just being a contributor like we were (no offense to Ms. Cat)
This is The Main Event. You can decide the situation - from a comedy show's main event to a wrestling show's main event to a school play's main event - The Main Event is what counts. But oh boy, messing around with the new controls is pretty damn time-consuming.
From choosing the template to deciding how everything looks like took pretty much half of my weekend, and for once I had no major homework to spaz about. I must say, I'm nearly satisfied about how it's shaping up. I may seem like a perfectionist, and if I have control over all the little matters, I will go on and on and on and on .. and on. and on. To anyone who passes by my blog, I have set up a rather simple version of Hangman that I hope you give a shot at. Also, at the bottom, I have arranged a photo of the day. It can be anything, but mostly, and hopefully, nature/science-related.
Anywahoo, I don't like the weather that has decided to invade Toronto and sit down as boss on top of us. I don't like wearing a jacket from time to time. Go. Away. Weather. A good friend of mine had his birthday over the weekend, and I'm glad to have a cheerful topic amongst the less pleasing weather and other mumbo-jumbo.
Well, I'm going to keep it short and sweet. I don't know how long I'd be able to go on and on .. and on .. and on ... and on .. about something or the other.
So, onto Family Guy at 9.
Until next time.
