aviva on vampire weekend;
alot of people are talking about this band and my pal posted a link to one of their songs so i decided it was the final straw. id give in and check them out. though i had this nagging feeling. id seen them in the summer open up for yacht and dirrty projectors. i recall thinking all their songs kinda sounded like i was travelling on the sea. relistening to them now i think they are a pretty good band.
end.
they shut down school today. but i am still going to go to the poster show. don't fail me now, the bus.

nice dreams pt 2.
i think i might start writing about them more often secretly hoping that if i do they will stop. otherwise im pretty sure what goes on in my subconcious is pretty funny. i woke up this time pretty freaked out and wondering what is wrong with me.
i had two dreams/nightmares. the first i do not remember other than being in a strange hotel but i do remember waking up or willing myself to wake up and then that dream had ended but it seems i "woke up" into my next nightmare thinking that was real life.
i found one of my dogs, jinxy, in horrible shape. someone had shaved off alot of her hair and also mutated her. but the mutations i realize only now could not have been real. her legs did not have flesh or muscle, they were just bones, like a dried chicken wing bone. also one side of her was completely open so her bones and guts were in plain view. but she was somehow ok. i tried to tell my entire family but nobody seemed to care that much. and everytime i tried to talk i would completely run out of breath and voice so i could barely speak. also someone had left a note explaining why they did it but i could not make out who it was or what the note said. as well strange people from my past showed up in the dream. there was an interlude which may have happened before or after where in i went to go see belle&sebastian. in a theater that looked like massey hall on acid. the band played on the right on a side stage and in front of us was this weird freak show of inatimate objects. exiting the theater i saw one of my pals who was at the show sitting on a bench far away thinking about life by herself looking melencholy but i knew to leave them alone. after the interlude and after the dog debacle i went to school to perhaps talk to someone since noone else was listening or thought it was a big deal. however as i got off the bus a little while away on the intersecting street i heard a truck swerving around going all crazy, it eventually fell into a construction ditch and then it was like a domino effect of disaster, machines just started eating each other and crashing into one another. and it never ever stopped. it kept going. it was horrific.
finally this "grrr" sound kept getting louder and louder. it had come from this disposal machine that had eaten the truck. i woke up and the "grrr" sound was coming from my dog eating a peice of meat.
ps. jinxy in real life has all her hair and guts.

nice dream/plots/i'm dead.
i am pretty used to having dreams where peope are trying to kill or chase me. but last night was the worst one. maybe it was the brandy. regardless. i think i was on the west end. probably parkdale or roncesvalles. not that where the scene takes place is important. i was downtown. i was up early and i think i was trying to find one of my pals because something strange was going on. this was i think the underlying plot. otherwise every person that passed me had a gun, hunting guns, i guess scarier looking and more range than a pistol. all looking sinisters. not all of them were looking to kill me at first. but whenever id see these people id hide like a person would hide behind something upon seeing what i saw. i never stay hid. i just went about my daily business. eventually they would come shooting at me. and not all scary like in the movies or a scene from no country for old men. more like, oh im just in a park waving around a gun like it's nothing and i might shoot at you and other situations like this. also a bunch of fellas tag team beat me with plywood. the strange part was whenever id get the gun away from the dude shooting everyone would turn on me and try to get me, it was not like us vs. the various gunmen. eventually i got hold of a gun and was using it for protection. i guess i was just hanging out on the most dangerous street in the world.

i want to thank all the well-wishers. the wall montage on facebook is kinda fantastic if not overwhelming.
goodnight 21. goodmorning 22. there it is. keep your nose clean kid.
otherwise. i finished 3rd semester. it left me on a many month sabbatical from everyone and everything.
i turned into a work o holic. i enjoyed it. even if it wasn't perfect. even if it still left me scrambling.
i wrote a 130 page book and it nearly killed me. i mean that. i decided to write a campaign for a cause that doesn't really even exist.
in case anyone was wondering why they filled out a survey on urban beautification. ( final product )
looking at recent photos taken by kidwithcamera and pierre richardson of things like f'ed up and ninja highschool, i miss rock and roll and being a part of that. the last time i did this was at japanther and what an amazing time that was. i want some more breaking stuff shows. also i would like to see all of you again.
last. cutest band. Current Music: $100 |

If the sea was whiskey and I was a diving duck
If the sea was whiskey and I was a diving duck
I'd swim to the bottom and I don't know if I'd come up
I'm just here wondering will a matchbox hold my clohtes
I'm just here wondering will a matchbox hold my clohtes
If things don't get no better then down the road I go
Whiskey and beers they don't make me drunk
Whiskey and beers they don't make me druink
These blues are gonna make me pack my trunk

"Sleeping in public is for homeless junkies and dead people"
- love, vice magazine
my whole life is a DON'T.
last night i did not go to ladyhawk or datarock or anything. sometimes i like fridays to be quiet times. i watched the station agent at two in the morning on the cbc. what a pleasant film. it is about quiet people doing quiet things in a quiet place. i think i like movies about solitude and isolation a little too much but then i also like it when those circumstances bring people together in subtle earnesty. it was also about trains. the first train was called the tom thumb. and there are groups of people who train chase and video tape it, like those tornado movies. but instead, locomotives.
it reminded me of sackville and finding abaondonded train cars. and exploring them. and pretending like they were going to explode at any second. Current Music: snailhouse |

it is my reading week, school has been a tuff guy due to's the i have been working hards, not because of the i am messing ups. or so it seems for now. sometimes i get really into making a media budget and i scare myself and hide under soft blankets some. i am going to some pretty good shows on my week off: f'ed up, new pornographers, carolyn mark, japanther, creaking tree string quartet. well at least hopefully most of these things. maybe other things.
the photo is of my new bicycle; dr awkward / western star: the ww2 hero.
last night i watched donnie darko. it made me realize i was wearing a hood and looking like i could stab someone before it was trendy.

i am listening to some pretty good new bands. and i like grizzly bear covering the crystals and i like css making dance musics.
i have to fill out a self analysis on me. and answer questions on skill and ability and where will i be in 10 years.
it's really difficult. i wish i could just hand in a sheet of paper with a frowny face. or a forrest with clouds. Current Music: the cave singers |
