Yadada

Well, i haven't been posting anything recently because my imagination well has run quite dry, and it's depressing me :(
No stories, no ranting, and no poetry D:
Be back when inspiration hits...

farewell,

De la maison

so here I am, sitting on my bed, home alone, NOT at school :)
the sun is warm, the blanket is soft, and the music is wonderful
I'm pretty glad i didn't go to school today... I just wanted to sleep... which I've been doing for the past 4hrs, but yeah, I won't be blogging for the day, maybe tonight, I just want to relax, and when I'm on the internets I can never find a calm place :S

Should I?

Well, tonight I'm sitting here debating whether or not I should work at convincing my parents to let me stay home tomorrow from school, because I am not feeling all too well, and I really, really, really don't want to go to school :S

What to do, what to do...

Early in the day

Good morning fine blogstalkers,
Today I'm posting just after coming back from a 5k run for the sake of it :P

So as I was jogging along, listening to music, trying to ignore that weird feeling I always get near my esophagus, I was thinking about how nice it is to be alone sometimes. I mean, people always seem to be afraid of being alone, they always need SOMEONE there to comfort them, and to just be there. I think that being alone from time to time does you alot of good. It lets you think and just be you, as in when I was jogging, I got alot of thinking done that I had been putting off... And the jogging is good exercise, so I send out the recommendation that you go outside at 5:30am or so and just walk for a few minutes and THINK, because afterwards, you feel refreshed and ready for the day.

'Til later,
jm

Beauty

Well, I was looking at the new photo that I just uploaded for the title of my blog, and I was thinking about the expression "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", and it dawned on me just how true that is. I don't think that there is an object of art, scenery, or anything else for that matter that is awe inspiring in every single person. For every masterpiece there are a few people who don't like it. Some things are just generally accepted to be beautiful, but there is always the odd few out who disagree. Even in people, no one can be just called 'beautiful' because of how relative that is. Those stunning men/women out there in the media are called, in the general sense, gorgeous, beautiful, etc... but still there are people who look upon them and say 'they're not that bad, but meh, it could be alot better'. I think that it's great that we all have our own ideas of beauty, because then there is always someone to challenge or opinion of beauty, and we will have to defend it, and in the process learn to appreciate the wonders of the object even more so.

I would use the word beautiful to describe music, or a painting, or possibly a landscape, although I lean more towards the music that the others, for the main reason of how much music I listen to, and how much my life is immersed in it. I call a masterpiece written for a cello beautiful; I call a painting by monet or van gogh beautiful.

I think the world needs more beauty in it. Nowadays we're surrounded by cold buildings and pollution, which blot out the natural and man made beauty of the world that we live in. Hopefully someone else besides the people without voice learns this, and makes a change.

Until the next post,
jm


p.s. It feels great to get back to blogging again

I'm back

Yes, I'm back, after a long break, I felt it was time to get going again, and what better way to do so then to begin it with a makeover? I changed the photos, the layout, the colour schemes... everything! Hope you like.

I haven't been blogging recently because the idea of having a blog, and maintaining it was just not in my frame of mind. But the urge to blog has been building inside of me, and today, I end my blogging withdrawl and will spew out a couple of possibly crappy blogs :P
I need to get back in the habit, so sue me if my posts aren't good enough for you.

Ah, a large, random assortment of incidences

Random poem from english doodles

She sits alone,
no one there
on the beach
with raven hair.
Fading fast
through the night,
no one there
to hear her plight.


So yes, my dear readers, it HAS been quite a while since my last post, mainly for the reason that there is not quite much to blog about, but now, after around 1 week, the occurrences have stacked in the favor of a blog post.

Well, starting with my classes, it has become apparent that my wonderful teacher, Ms. Kennedy, drones about as much as a bee high on pollen, doing a dance to direct other bees to a certain grove of flowers. She started the lesson today with half an hour on how the earth rotates around the sun and how it affects the climate and seasons here on the planet. It was awful, and she still hasn't let us see that movie she said we'd be viewing in geo class... it has been disappointing. She keeps assigning all this work for finding locations on a map knowing only the coordinates, and I have to say, why the hell would we need to be doing worksheets on that??? Just teach us how, then makes us do it once or twice, and leave it at that, we don't need the details on latitude and longitude. But at least I have friends sitting around me to make it easier on the time :D

And today, I was biking along portobello with my friend Leslie, when we passed by some random jogger-lady. She was nothing out of the ordinary, plenty of people were jogging at that hour. But as soon as we passed her, she ran off the sidewalk, onto the grass, and sprinted so fast that she went ahead of us on our BIKES. She had no reason to do that, so we were kinda confused as to why she felt she needed to cut off the bikers...

Friday had been the opera, the marriage of figaro, and it was quite interesting... It was in italian, with french and english subtitles that were at the top of the stage, and the pit band was the NAC band, so it was really nice. It was extremely confusing though, lady1 wanted to marry figaro, but figaro was contracted to the secretary because she lent him money, and the count wanted to marry lady1, but the countess was wanting to marry off to someone else, and cherubino wanted to marry the countess, who was leading him on, and then figaro finds out the secretary is his mum, and the lawyer is his dad, and then the count tries to foil the marriage of figaro and lady1, and the marriage of the lawyer and the secretary, but fails, and the countess stays married to him, so in the end, everyone is married and happy. But after that wonderful spectacle, the homework that backed up let up to a 3.5hr homework session last night, and it was NOT pleasent to behold. Math, french, english, and spanish, ay caramba, es no bien.

On saturday we had our sorta brown movie night [CB kids and I], and it was alot of fun, alot more than I expected actually. We watched some of the hockey game, some of Om Shanti Om, and some of 007. It was michelle, kate, kate, sabrina, patrick, ryan and I at sabrina's house, which smelt of curry, but smelt good. :P
And after the movie, ryan and patrick had to bike home, and they called later and managed to trick kate, kate and sabrina that they were lost in the dark and didn't know how to get home, and the girls ended up spazzing and freaking out for them, until they started to laugh and ruined the entire thing for us. But in the end, even if the scared the girls half to death, it was quite funny and ALOT of fun. Alot better than anyone expected it to be I believe.

Friday and saturday I was at a joint birthday party for Ryan and Jordan. We went paintballing, then went back to ryan's house to have a sleepover without sleep. We played video games, ate, and eventually went outside to lurk amongst the houses at 2:30 am. We walked all over avalon and nottinggate, and even went to BeDe. It was kinda suspicious though because there was a group of 10 teenage guys, in hoodies, walking around at night and jumping fences, it was not the best situation, but it was alot of fun :)
After the walk, we got back to ryan's house and went downstairs to video game for a while, and cory ended up jacking off on the couch while everyone was playing video games, and brandon/cory were using the rumble packs on the controllers to massage their dicks. Besides the awkwardness of that situation, the party couldn't have gone better.

And so, as I listen to Serenade for Strings in C, Op. 48: I Pezzo in Forma di Sonatina by Tchaikovsky, I bid you adieu, for I am tired, and I might be getting up at 2:00 ish to roam the neighbourhood for a while, it's fun to do from time to time...
