Day 1, 2, 3 & 4 of study break!
Day 1: As you know, I went over to Katie's to play some wii :)
Day 2: I didn't accomplish a whole lot that day except for eating a lot. Around 9pm, I felt kinda sluggish at home so I called Ram and Sam to see what they were doing. They were at Champions betting on some horses. As I felt soooo restless at home, I decided to meet up with them, regardless of what they were doing.
Ram wanted to go to the casino that night... Why not, right?!?!? I didn't have anything to do that night nor the next day. So after when we picked up joo, we headed out to Blue Heron. It was almost 130am and Sam & Ram wanted to go "pound some brews" before last call was done. We went to 3 different bars in Markham and all of them were closed!!!! WTF!?!?!? so whatever, we headed to Blue Heron.
Driving with Jay-Z's Blue print III album, I felt like this was going to a crazy weeekkkk! I remember when I was at York (and didn't have million and one things to do for school), Ram, me and Joo would go on these crazy random adventures at the middle of the night... aka - casino with kay; horseshoe with katelyn etc etc it felt sooo invigourating and liberal at the same time!
We finally got to Blue Heron at 3am. I didn't play anything but the guys played some roulette and blackjack. Joo lost his money in an hour, so we decided to head over to the restaurant to get a snack to eat. Everything was so expensive - BLT & fries for $6.00! In hopes that we would get big portions, we decided to stay. The hostess greeted us at the door and showed us our table. As we got there, she looked at us and said, "Go ahead and get your food. I'll be back with drinks later." We looked at eachother and thought, "Omg, this is a breakfast buffet!!" A little intoxicated, we excitedly headed over to the buffet section where they had every single piece of breakfast item you could think of - sausages, bacon, home fries (btw, are soo good!) cereals, toast etc... what made it even better was that there was an egg station where someone would cook any type of eggs you wanted on the stop - omlettes of any kind and toppings, fried, scrambled, sunny side etc etc any eggs! lol
so we scramble to get to our table to start eating... we literally at for a good 30 mins, only to stop to go get some food... we didn't even talk to eachother except for a 1 min conversation about our day lol
As we were getting full, we wondered how much this was. We easily thought 20-30/person... but found out that it was only 5.00/person!!!! such a great dealll! lol I was soo full afterwards that I barely move lol
This isn't a very good picture but of the buffet... this was me slowing down...
Day 3: I got home from the casino at 8am sunday morning. Jooyong called in sick because he couldn't make it to his 1pm shift lol tsk tsk so we headed over to Boston Pizza to watch the football games... it was actually me just sitting there, watching the guys watch football. I was so bored that I decided to start doing my hw lol
We went over to Rico's place.. there, I watched my Bleach :)
Day 4: Monday felt like another day of the weekend for me. I had some dim sum with my girl, Rhe... then headed home to clean up my room. After, I headed to a bodycombat&pump class... I didn't do much that day because I just wanted to relax.
Eminem's Relapse Album
Along with Jay-Z's Blueprint III album, I've been listening to Eminem's Relapse album as well. As you may know, Eminem was out of the scene for 5 years because of his addiction to valium. I wouldn't say it's a type of album that you would hear at a club... but it's definately an album that tells his story about his struggle to over come his addiction. It is quite fascinating - not to say that I find addicts like specimen on a research paper - but something more than that.
Ever since I took a course at York called Addiction in Contemporary Society, I've been quite interested in the study of drugs and how one can or can be proned (yes, that's right!) to be addicted to some sort of drug. It is quite intrigueing how the general society has this negative connation on addicts because they believe it's a choice. From what I've learned about this, it's not a choice. It's a choice for one to try and experiment and not a choice for one to be addicted to it. Anyhow, i'll explain later about what I mean in later posts.
Back to Eminem... I find that his previous albums had this sort of sense of humour like his first one.... his later ones were all about him and the pressure of the music industry and how he coudn't "take a shit in the washroom without someone starting" at him etc etc... with this one, it was almost he like he poured his heart into this album. you could really hear his struggle with drugs and how he's trying to cope.
I just love the lyrics. Have a look (sorry I tried to select a few lines but I couldn't; it's that great of a song!):
Lately I've been hard to reach
I've been too long on my own
Everyone has a private world
Where they can be alone
Are you calling me, are you trying to get through
Are you reaching out for me, and I'm reaching out for you
I'm just so fu-ckin' depressed
I just can seem to get out this slump
If I could just get over this hump
But I need something to pull me out this dump
I took my bruises, took my lumps
Fell down and I got right back up
But I need that spark to get psyched back up
And the right thing for me to pick that mic back up
I don't know how I pry away
And I ended up in this position
I'm in I starting to feel distant again
So I decided just to beat this pain
Up and tried to make an attempt to vent
But I just can't admit
Or come to grips, with the fact that I may be done with rap
I need a new outlet
I know some shits so hard to swallow
And I just can't sit back and wallow
In my own sorrow
But I know one fact I'll be one tough act to follow
One tough act to follow
Copy One tough act to follow
Here today, gone tomorrow
But you have to walk a thousand miles
Walk my shoes, just to see What it's like, to be me All be you, let's trade shoes
Just to see what I'd be like to
Feel your pain, you feel mine
Go inside each other's mind
Just to see what we find
Looking shit through each other's eyes
But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
OoOo They can all get fu-cked. Just stay true to you sOoOoo
Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful OoOo
They can all get fu-cked.
Just stay true to you I think I'm starting to lose my sense of humor
Everything is so tense and gloom
I almost feel like I gotta check the temperature in the room
Just as soon as I walk in
It's like all eyes on me
So I try to avoid any eye contact
Cause if I do that then it opens a door to conversation
Like I want that...
I'm not looking for extra attention
I just want to be just like you
Blend in with the rest of the room
Maybe just point me to the closest restroom
I don't need fu-cking man servin'
Tryin to follow me around, and wipe my ass
Laugh at every single joke I crack
And half of them ain't even funny like that
Ahh Marshall, you're so funny man, you should be a comedian, god damn
Unfortunately I am, but I just hide behind the tears of a clown
So why don't you all sit down
Listen to the tale I
'm about to tell
Hell, we don't have to trade our shoes
And you don't have to walk no thousand miles
Nobody asked for life to deal us
With these bullshit hands with doubt
We have to take these cards ourselves
And flip them, don't expect no help
Now I could have either just Sat on my ass and pissed and moaned
But take this situation in which I'm placed in
And get up and get my own
I was never the type of kid
To wait but I know to unpack his bags
Never sat on the porch and hoped and prayed
For a dad to show up who never did I just wanted to fit in
Every single place
Every school I went I dreamed of being that cool kid
Even if it meant acting stupid
Aunt Edna always told me
Keep making that face till it gets stuck like that
Meanwhile I'm just standing there
Holding my tongue up trying to talk like this
Till I stuck my tungue on the frozen stop sign poll at 8 years old
I learned my lesson and cause I wasn't tryin to impress my friends no more
But I already told you my whole life story
Not just based on my description
Cause where you see it from where you're sitting
Is probably 110% different
I guess we would have to walk a mile
In each other's shoes, at least
What size you where?
I wear tens
Let's see if you can fit your feet
Wedding Stuff:
I was going through my cousin's design/wedding blog this morning (here's the link: http://yescinderella.tumblr.com/page/1) and I found this incredibly beautiful veil:
I don't know where my cousin finds all these wedding stuff but I love them! I can't wait until I get married (just the ceremony, not the whole relationship thing! lol)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
So I guess you're probably sick and tired of reading stuff... sorry I tend to blog a lot when I do blog. Ok, see you later!
