With forecasts calling for anywhere between 15 and 30 centimetres of snow over the next 36 hours, along with heavy winds and freezing rain, and the possibility of 10 millimetres of ice, I can understand why so many of them climb the clock tower. I also had my English Lit exam today. Yowza my Yowza!!! All the parts I was worried about went great, and everything I expected to go smoothly, didn't. I ended up changing the thesis for my essay twice, and perhaps my greatest exam moment....I wrote a...

Apparently the oldest bank robber in American History was sentenced on Friday, at the age of 92. Words cannot describe what is going through my mind at this point. That's just plain weird.

I feel that despite my horrendous amount of blog to be, I could not pass up a mention to Robbie Burns. I ,myself, am scottish, as well as Irish, German, French and Fijian (by choice, thanks to The Truman Show), but mostly a Scotsman! I even have a kilt! Wrong clan, but it'a a goddamn kilt! Ah kilt memories. I'll never forget the looks I got on the bus last St. Patrick's Day.......Well, today I returned to my scottish roots, and had a glass of scotch with my dad, as well as a glass for breakfast,...

I'm blogging when I shouldn't be blogging. Currently my "break time" has expired, had to vent some energy in Vice City, and I should be studying. So I've decided to mention what I'm going to blog about in the next little while. Since I'll be busy cramming for my two exams, and my dentist's appointment, I feel that telling you what I'm going to write, will lighten the load on my chest. The upcoming topics are: (drumroll please) Review of Catch Me If You Can Review of A Guy Thing Ran...

I have one day to read to read all of my English Literature materaial. A Coles notes book on The Great Gatsby, and a stack of paper thicker than 3 Bone Daddy soundtracks. This is not good. Oh and then I have to read a kinesiology textbook for Tuesday and memorize ALL the freakin’ bones and muscles. Nobody can memorize all of that!!! Who do you think I am? David Copperfield?!?!?!

Friday, January 23 2004, I, Steve Massey, flew. It lasted less than a second, and I wasn't trying to fly, but it happened. It happened on my way to meet Tink at the bus depot (Ha! Depot. What a stupid word.). I was galloping down the steps at Woodbine station, step....step, jump 2 steps, and so forth. Now I had a bounce in my step because I was on my way to see Tink. As I reached about halfway down the flight of stairs, the subway vacuum kicked in and the outside air began to rush in behind me....

I think I'm going to have to pull an SCTV and toss my boob tube out the window (how times have changed, that would have been an excellent time to reference The Wall.....but i didn't. oops.). I wake up this morning and flip on the tube for some saturday morning cartoons. I'm eating my bowl of Special K, and then evil strikes again. A commercial for Special K comes on, and this woman tells me that the Step Counters are selling like hot cakes. No shit.....Wait.......Excuse me? You're not going to p...

Time: 4:03am. After watching the same damn knife infomercial, and the Alzare infomercial, which I watched last night. I am officially announcing that I am going to see a psychiatrist of some sorts. I don't know when, I don't know where but I must before the summer arrives. For the other Transylvanians in the audience, I do recommend the Alzare infomercial. The product is some male enhancement tablet, but the gold lies in the premise, and the Alzare representative. Apparently if it looks like...

Well it is currently 3am. I have not yet read the short story for my English Lit exam, but who cares there's plenty of time! It can wait til....when? MONDAY?!?! Fuck beans. Fuck them right in the ear. So little to do, so much time. Wait. Strike that. Reverse it. If only I knew what I was doing up at this ungodly hour, then maybe my head wouldn't hurt. I need some Velarian root, or if I can get my hands on them, Red and Blue Tuinals, Lipstick Red Seconals. After paying $18.00 for a regular $...

It’s that time again. Rants and raves about my surrounding world. While some will be quick potshots, others may seem to ramble on forever. Let’s get started shall we. I figure we’ll start on a good note, seeing as how there’s only one. I am hear to preach the sheer greatness that is “Winamp Media Desktop.” It plays files, movies and all the other crap, but what puts Winamp on the higher shelf, are it’s visualizations. It’s not the colours or designs, because Windows wins hands down, ...

It is only in the wee hours of the morning that a person can truly peer into their soul, and see just how screwed up they are. I have now diagnosed myself as, no longer being a FADDS - Frequent Attention Deficit Disorder Sufferer, but a “ Media Junkie.” Films, TV, Music, I need it all. I discovered this after I thought about my dependancy on music. While I was thinking about this I realized that I was watching the same damn Informercial for those fancy knives. I can vividly remember the Rock a...

Blactacular indeed. In my Bone Daddy withdrawl, I have found myself listening to the soundtrack over and over. I’ve found that this kind of music is universal, especially the title track. No matter what you are doing, this music goes to it. Whether I’m look for jive as I enter a subway, or if I’m cutting some bad ass green peppers. It’s got good rhythm, and an amazing bass line. Since I’m a theme whore, “Titles Struttin’” (a must download) will be a long lived favourite along with my Beavis and ...

This just in, 3 days ago. Famous Player’s Toronto Paramount theatre is the top-ranking theatre in North America for Return of the King. Paramount has also set a new box office record, reaching $50 million in only 33 days, faster than any Canadian theatre ever. In light of this news, New Line Cinemas, in association with Alliance Atlantis, have decided to create a documentary of the phenomenon that is the LOTR: Trilogy and it’s relations with Canadian theatre. From what we has been leaked out, th...

Well Leaside, itself, is in shambles. Snow is blocking many side streets, cold winds are slicing down the streets like renegade razor blades, and that just happens everyday. On top of that there is the recent renovation to Laird Dr., the busiest Leaside street, second to Bayview (cause Eglinton doesn’t count, it’s an actual street). Along Laird, there are large metal slabs, which become dangerously slippery once ice freezes on them, and little, metal, circular holes. Construction has been going...
