Joke from when I was a kid...

"Why can't ghosts have babies?"

(see comments for answer)

Well, I had an unexpectedly busy weekend. It's Monday, and I'm at work, but I haven't been home since when I left for work on Friday.

After work on Friday, I met up with Jimi for dinner. After dinner, I headed over to 'loo to visit Dwight. We had a small ping pong tournament. Now, I'm pretty cocky when it comes to ping pong, but especially when playing a white boy like Dwight. But boy did he humble me, beating me 5 game to 0. And believe me, I can be pretty scary when I start getting competitive, I didn't laugh or even smile the entire match, and he still beat me without even breaking a sweat. I got smoked this time, but I promise you (Dwight), next time things'll be different. After ping pong, we headed over to the Cove for some warcraft. Even though we had a winning night, the whole night was just a mess, thanks to Ping.

Saturday, we slept in and took our time getting up. We headed to TO in the afternoon to meet up with Neets. We had lunch and hung out at Neeta's apartment for a bit. We met up with Naomi, and headed to a haunted house in Stouffville. It was a ton of fun. It was kinda cold, and the line up took forever, but I'll never forget me and Neeta getting chased into a dead end by a guy with a chainsaw. It was absolutely hilarious/terrifying.

Sunday we woke up and went for a nice and long swim. Dwight, Neeta and I invented a new pool game where we throw my bracelet in the middle of the pool and fight to get it. It was a lot of fun. After our little swim, we headed out for lunch and a little shopping. Dwight headed back to 'loo, and me and Neets took a nap. After our nap, we had dinner, and met up with Naomi and her roommate to watch Saw II. Dwight, Neets and I watched Saw back in 'loo, and it was one of the funniest nights ever, so we decided to watch Saw II before haloween. The movie was pretty good, similar to the Saw. It was a fun and exhausting weekend.

So, this morning on the subway I met my kindred spirit. This girl on the subway was wearing her shoes, except that they were half on, and the backs were all stepped on the same way I do! She wasn't very attractive, and she was kinda overweight, but I felt we had a real connection and I was about to ask her out. But seriously, after seeing someone other than me half wear a shoe, I gotta say, it's pretty unattractive. The shoe's dangling off the foot, and you can see the heel of the foot showing, it's actually kinda gross. Since I've started buying my own clothes and started caring about what I look like, I think I've out grown the whole half shoes on thing.

I also watched DOOM with Nat and my cousins and bro last night. Sorry Nat, it wasn't a good movie. I don't recomend anyone watching that movie.

So last night I hung out with some coworkers after work, it was fun. There was a stand up comedy night at a bar, so Will, Gabriel and I decided to attend. The food (which got charged to the company) was really good, which is more than I can say about the comedians. Well, some of them were all right, they got a chuckle out of me at best. I was hoping Chris Rock would show up and make an appearance.

On a different note, I was talking to my pseudo doctor friend Allan the other day, and it's been an ongoing debate whether or not chiropractors are real doctors are not. I feel, while chiropractors are highly respectable, are not real doctors. And this applies to dentists and vets as well. In my humble opinion, you gotta be able to prescribe medicine to humans to be considered a doctor. Does anyone have any opinions/comments? Post what you think, and we'll get this issue settled once and for all.

So, I had a really fun/exhausting weekend. Well, it was convocation weekend for Waterloo students who finished in the summer, so Rach and Justin were flying in from Seattle for the weekend. I met up with Neets after work, and after meeting up with Naomi and dropping off her car, trained over to 'sauga to meet up with Rach and Justin. Met up with Rach and Justin and we headed over to Dwight's place in 'loo. On Friday night we went over to McMullen's for drinks. Met up with Eric, Costa, Stewart and Paul at McMullen's. Just for the record, Neeta did beat me in fooseball, but I guarantee it will not always the the case. Was a fun night.

Saturday was convocation. The convocation started at 2:00, but the morning was so hectic since nobody really knew what was gonig on, and people had to meet up with family and stuff. I didn't actually go to the convocation, I already went through mine, and that was enough for me. Instead, me and Dwight played a little warcraft, sorry Naomi. After the convocation, we all got together for pictures and stuff. After all the picture taking, Naomi and I went with Neeta and her family back to TO. We had dinner at a Chinese/Indian fusion restaurant, which was perfect since Neets doesn't like Chinese food, but Chinese/Indian food is fine. The food was actually really good. On Saturday night, Neets, Naomi and I went to one of Neeta's coworker's party. The party was all right. After the party, I read Neets and Naomi a bedtime story.

Sunday morning we woke up early for a nice swim in Neet's pool. I was her swimming instructor, and I gotta say, she made some huge improvements. She's gonna be the next Olympic champion any day now. After our little swim, we met up with Ryan for a little dim sum. Of course, I loved it, and I hope everyone else did too. When I got home, I crashed until dinner. My grandma and aunt from New York are visiting us for the weekend, so we all went out for dinner. Anyways, it was a really fun weekend, and I'm really glad I got to see a bunch of people. I'm at work right now, and so exhausted, I seriously got like 5 hours of sleep the entire weekend.

So, yesterday was pretty fun. I met up with Nat after work and had a quick meal. So, Nat plays volleyball every Thursday with some co-workers as a part of a league thing. I decided I'd tag along and support him since his team's 0-5, and could definitely use the support. Well, they had some people missing, so I got to play a bit. We were up by 20 points at the half, and feeling pretty confident/cocky, but ended up losing by 5. What a devastating loss.

The best part/only good thing about waking up at 6:30 am, and this chilly time of season is that when I wait for the bus in the morning, I get out at the perfect time to see the sun raise. Now, I'm sure we've all seen the sun raise, but it was just a night thought I had this morning.

So, yesterday was a fun night. I had dinner with Jimi after work, at this place called Green Mango. It's this kinda Thai fast food place, and it seems to be our place to go when we eat down town. Well, after dinner, we went to fellowship, which I haven't gone to in months, but have really been meaning to go to. Even though there were some new faces, it was actually a lot of fun and I had a good time. We discussed goodness and stuff like that. It was also nice since I got to see Care again, who I haven't really gotten a chance to talk to since she got back from Europe. We talked about what we've been up to in the past 2 months, how work's been, etc. I've seriously been meaning to meet up with her at some point, and it's nice we got to hang out for a bit.

So, I had a pretty fun weekend. On Saturday, I went to 'sauga to visit Eric and do some shopping. We first had steak at his place, and then headed out to an outlet mall to do some shopping. I bought a pair of dress shoes, and a pair of walking shoes. Eric was shopping for dress pants. After shopping, Eric and I went over to the gym and had a great chest workout. After dropping off Eric, I went to 'loo to visit with Dwight. We had dinner, played some WC, and hung out for a bit on Saturday. On Sunday, we watched one of the greatest movies of all time... THE WIZARD!!! I haven't seen that movie in ages, and I was worried that when I watched the movie again, I would be expecting too much and the movie would disappoint me. Fortunately I was wrong... I think I actually enjoyed the movie even more now than when I was a kid. I love the characters, and the script is still amazing. "The power glove, it's so bad". After the movie, We did a little bit of shopping for Dwight's dress shoes. Then we went to the driving range. The driving range was cool cuz there's this platform that you can drive off of. So even if you hit grounders, since you're elevated, the ball still goes somewhere, and good shots go just that much further. When I got home Sunday, I watched "28 Days Later", a pretty good movie.

Can you say... Jeopardy champion!?!? Booyah!!

Long weekend update. Well I had a pretty enjoyable/relaxing long weekend. Jon was back home for the long weekend, so we got to hang out a bit this weekend. Saturday morning started out with a little bowling with Nat, Jon, Jason, Mark and Justin. I bowled two decent games, but the second team game consisting of Jon, Jason and I got destroyed. Pretty disappointing. Later that night, Allan joined us at St. Louis to watch another disappointing Leafs game. After the game, we headed over to my place and played a round of poker, hate to brag, but I won. Nat, Mark and Justin didn't play for money, instead they each had to do 120 pushups. Now, I definately would have rather gotten some extra cash, but watching each of them do 120 pushups proved to be pretty entertaining.

Sunday began with about 5 episodes of "Flame of Reca". Mark and Justin stayed over the previous night, so we watched a bunch of anime in the morning. Spent the afternoon fiddling around with my new/old computer that I got setup. Played some pool with Jon and KennyG at night. Lowlight of the night: not winning a single game of pool. Highlight of the night: fooseball champion!!!

On Monday, I played a little WC with Dwight. We seriously had the best game of our entire warcraft career. I won't go into it on this blog, but it was fun. It got a 10 for our saved replays. For dinner, we had a big thanksgiving dinner with Helen and Ray chinese style... We went to Chui Chow Boy where I ate like a pig. Food was delicious, and we topped off our dinner with a red bean float... delicious!!!

So, yesterday was a pretty fun night... After work, me and Neeta hung out for a bit. We had dinner at an Indian buffet... the food was all right, conversation was hilarious... hang in there Neets, it's all about patience! Did a little bit of shopping afterwards, which seems to be my new thing to do. After shopping, we went to Indigo for a bit, but don't worry, I didn't read any books... Had a coffee at starbucks, and just hung out for a while. It doesn't sound like we did much, but it turned out to be a really fun night.

What a disappointing night... Leafs lost to the Sens in a shoot out the other night... Allan and I were over at Nat's place watching the first game of the season the other night. Even though the Leafs had the lead almost the entire game, they were being outplayed by the Sens... oh well...

Right now I'm at work, things are good around here. My company signed a contract with our first client the other day, which is pretty exciting. Also, I brought in some art work from university which is now hung on the walls of the office, which is even more exciting. This morning's been pretty fun, I've been thinking of lyrics to a new song that I'm writting... it's called "More than Back Cracking". Maybe I'll post the lyrics to this site when I'm done.

So, yesterday was an exhausting night. Nat invited me to a basketball practise that he goes to every week. Now I really suck at basketball, but it's something I want to get better at, so this was a good opportunity to practise. I found out that I'm really really out of shape. I thought I was a person who kept in pretty good shape, but after 10 minutes on the court I was breathing pretty hard. It was fun, but I got a long road ahead if I plan on making the NBA.

So, after a little DimSum in the morning with my mom and bro, I did a little shopping with my buddy Allan. Since getting my job, I've been trying to dress better and wearer nicer clothes. Allan's been my main consultant for fashion advice. So, I bought myself a new sweater from Roots, and I think it looks really cool, but when I see myself in a mirror, I look like a totally different person. Then later that night, KennyG said I'm starting to look like Allan's twin, which kind of worries me. I got no problems dressing nicer, or asking friends for help with things I don't know too much about (how to dress), but I wonder if I'm taking it too far when people start confusing me with someone else. I guess what I'm thinking is, by trying to dress better, am I simply trying to improve the way I look, or is my personality changing, and that's why I want to dress better? I hope I don't change...

On friday, I met up with Neets after work, and we had dinner before meeting up with Eric. Before heading to 'sauga, we stopped by at Timmy's to witness Allan and KennyG studying in action. At Timmy's, I happen to bump into Oliver and Victor, who I haven't seen since highschool. It was cool meeting up with people I haven't seen in ages. So, after me and Neets chilled at Eric's for a bit. Just hung out and played some guitar.

Saturday was a great Wonderland weekend. Ryan joined us in the morning, and we took off to Wonderland. It was a lot of fun. We didn't go on too many roller coasters, cuz they make Neeta sick, but went on a bunch of those spinning rides that make sick instead. After Wonderland, we went to a Japanese buffet. I ate like a pig. Good food and good times. After that, we decided to watch a movie. I was a little reluctant with Eric's pick "Playing by Heart". But it was actually a really good movie.
