About Me

Horses scare the crap out of me. I don't know why. They're pretty from a distance, and I'm fine with them when they're behind a fence, but up close, or even worse, riding on one, now that's freaky. Also, betting on horses can be fun too, but I tend to lose. And that's the story of horses.Oh, I really liked the horses game they had at the Kelowna casino a while ago. For a quarter, you got to bet on them, and they'd run around a little track, and it would be AWESOME. But then they took it out and put in a bunch of slot machines. It's pretty lame there now, so I never go. The horses were awesome though. I've heard they have that same game in the Luxor in vegas (the pyramid shaped hotel/casino), but with CAMELS insteads of horses. That's more or less the coolest thing ever.

My Interests

I like it when I say something that rhymes.

I'd like to meet:

People who are AWESOME. Or at least alright. I'm not that picky sometimes.

Music:

I listen to Mojave 3 sometimes. Other times, I listen to Ghostface Killah. Usuaully, I'm listening to something that isn't either of those.

Movies:

Movies I obsess over: Suburbia, Dead man on campus, Dumb and dumber, Life.

Movies I adore: Pi, Memento, Requiem for a dream, Reservoir Dogs, Platoon, No Man's Land [it's in Serbo-Croat, but not pretentious.. trust me, it's good].

Movies I enjoy: American History X, Scream, Urban Legends, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, bad slasher films, good slasher films [if any exist], LA Confidential.

I also like a lot more movies than that, but that's enojy for now. And yes, I realize that Reservoir Dogs is in two lists.

Television:

Seinfeld, South Park, Futurama, Family Guy, Arrested Development. And some sports, mostly football [EPL] and hockey.

Books:

I've been reading In a World of Fat People by Amarillo Slim for the past two days. It's good, moreso the prop betting parts. The poker parts are pretty boring.

Heroes:

Che Guevara. Cause he was on a boat, and then later, #2 in control, and then later, died in a jungle. He was awesome. More for what happened in between than the parts I mentioned.

Today, my smoke detector suddenly sounded, as I was on my computer. It would not turn itself off, despite how obvious it was to both of us (myself and the detector) that there was no smoke. Consequent...

"Atonement" by Ian McEwan

I quite enjoyed that book. I read it all in a day, which pretty much alone says how much I enjoyed it. I really need to stop reading sad books though. Given that I only read a book every six months or...

Mean girls kicks ass

No, seriously, that movie rocks. It was on tv again, and so I watched portions. It's good stuff. I don't feel like writing more though. Makes you wonder why I posted a blog, doesn't it?

Two things: First, I hate Bill Frist. Online gambling being banned in America is a bad thing. (Bill Frist is the senator who put up the bill banning online poker.) The tables will suddenly get a ...

I suck at deli's.

So I went to the deli today to buy some roast beef for a sandwich or two, because I couldn't think of anything better to eat. While I'm there, I'm looking around for their creamy ham pasta salad, whic...

First full week of school finished today. I seem to be in three hard classes, one easy class, and one semi-hard class. This will be a difficult semester. I spent many many hours trying to get a single...
