Well, I guess I have to keep going. For some reason I kept putting off writing another entry; I really don't know why. I'm experiencing a huge writer's block right now. I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Mine was good, although what some might consider unconventional. Since I've been unable to afford to travel home to my parents' for the holidays (home being the Southern Interior of BC) I stayed with a friend here in Calgary. I had a fantastic time with him and his family. I got way more chocolate than I know what to do with, and then I went and spent some of the money I recieved from other loved ones. I love buying stuff. To be more precise, I love buying stuff for other people, but buying stuff for myself is fun too.
Here's something I referred to last time. I've had this in the back of mind a lot lately, more so during Christmas. I watch the news whenever I can, because it's always been important to me to have some idea about what's happening in the world. I especially like watching CBC newsworld. So I'm a nerd. Sue me. Anyways, I've seen a lot on the news about the chronic Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and it just seems so strange to me, considering people in the middle east are willing to fight so much over such a relatively small area, one that some consider less than attractive, and we in Canada live in such a huge country and enjoy peace and tranquility, so much that we take it for granted. I always like to have an opinion on the big issues, so when I see this stuff on the news, I try to figure out who "I root for". Sometimes I side with Israel, what with them having been God's chosen people and all, and since Christianity came out of Judaism, I feel a bit of kinship with them. Perhaps my irrational side is annoyed with Islam, since it started after Christianity, like "What? Our religion isn't good enough for you?"
But I like to think I'm a bit more impartial than that. Still, I tend to sympathize with Israel. But other times, I'm just overwhelmed by the futility of the struggle, and I see how people on both sides feel so strongly about their cause that they're willing to kill and die for what they believe in.
There wasn't really supposed to be any big point to this rant, I just felt like saying what I think. Does it make sense? Tell me what you think.
One of these days, I might try and find some of my old books from English or Creative Writing class, see if they can give me any ideas as to how to make this little exercise of mine more entertaining for all of us. I've got lots of ideas, I just have trouble putting them into words.
And now for the shortest joke in the world:
1st guy: "Duck!"
2nd guy: "Where?"

By the way, here's a tip for any other bloggers out there, in case you haven't already thought of this. Just before you hit the publish button, highlight and copy what you wrote. I did that just now, and good thing, cuz I got another error msg, and would've lost the whole mess had I not copied it. This may be old news to most people, but if it helps one person...

ya, so I had written a fairly lengthy post filled with everything from new Christmas presents I bought myself to pontifications about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but when I tried to post it, I got this retarded error msg. How annoying.
So I'll just wish everyone a great Christmas and fantastic new year.
And for those who take it upon themselves to critique my prose just remember, I didn't write this for you, ya knob:) I'm letting all of you read this. I'm pouring out my heart for your benefit as much as mine. And I've got better things to do than pore over every phrase and metaphor. Don't anyone worry; I'm not offended. I wouldn't let anyone read this if I thought they'd say anything nasty. I'm just really crabby about losing that last post.

Ok, I gotta warn all of you. This could really suck, cuz I haven't written, I mean really written anything since the Dead sea was just sick (one of my brother's puns). Hopefully I'll get better.
Um, lemme think what's going on so far. I want money. Lots of it. I want to go back to school. Washing dishes is lame. I should have a real job by now. I can't go home for Christmas which blows the big one. Not too sure what I'm going to do. but it's ok. I got my computer hooked up to the net, so I can handle a lot of crap.
Hmm.. y'know I'm finding this blog stuff is a bit tougher than I thought. I can't just write the same crap I write in emails, or on icq. Gotta think of something good. Something catchy, something clever. Maybe I'm just putting this pressure on myself for no reason; maybe it's all imaginary. I used to be a really good writer. I'll work on that.
I'm more of a follower than a leader in most cases, as is the case with this blog. Will's got one, Robyn's got one, Jacen and Bob just got one, so I decided I wanted to get on the bandwagon. And if you don't know who those people are, it's yer loss entirely. If you want to know though, just ask me. Same goes for anything I say here that doesn't make sense. That'll be a good way to weed out the genuinely interested readers from the not-so-interested. Say something that doesn't make sense and see how many people ask about it.
I saw the Two Towers twice so far, and I think it's faaaaaaaaaaaantastic. Good story, good fight scenes, good everything. My gosh, I love watching movies.
Hey, here's something I was thinking about. Don't you hate it when you have this monstrously huge fart you want to share with the world, but you can't cuz you have to go pee really badly? So you can't fart otherwise you'll wet yourself. It's like there's this amazingly wonderful experience almost within your grasp, but you can't have it because of what else comes with it.
See ya later. If anyone can think of anything I should write about, let me know.
