For some reason, nostalgia seems to be such a dominant drive for me. My favourite games are the ones I used to play on my Super Nintendo. I still revisit old music that I've loved again and again. I probably one of the only people that has downloaded all 7 seasons of Muppet Babies. Reminiscing about the past, my past, reading old blogs, e-mails, journals, notebooks. God, I can't resist it. And

like butter spread over too much bread. Man. This place is an empty tomb. It used to be so active, years ago, when blogging was the latest thing. I can practically hear the wind howling and the old stones straining every time this page loads. Forgive me blog for I have sinned, it's been like 10 months? since my last posting. I've gone longer than that before, but whatever. I feel so

Man, when all the old blogging crowd is gone, it's really hard to keep this up.It's been too long, again. What have I done since? Who knows!Well I do know. I've been off work for what will be over 2 weeks now. My boss decided to go to a friend's wedding in South Africa for about that length of time and didn't arrange for any work for me or my co-workers so it's temporary unemployment for me I

So I originally tried to post this at lunch time... But I sent it to the wrong e-mail address so it never actually went up. I just figured this all out a little while ago and am now correcting the situation. AKA I am explaining this all to you now and am just throwing my original post out on the bottom of this disclaimer.

Well this WAS supposed to be my first post from my new iPhone... but I have yet to find a half-decent blog writing/posting app for it. If anyone out there knows of one, let me know; BlogPress and BlogWriter both blow in my opinion...Anyway, My lovely wife and I both indeed have iPhones now and they are incredible.

The blog returns.More than a year since my last post. I've tried posting something new several times over that past year but in the end I never end up actually posting anything.I think this will be my last post about my lack of posting/trying to revive my blog. I've done that too many times and it's going to be annoying to read. So much has changed in my life since I've last written here.I'm

Man, I had no idea that I was this close to post 300. You'd think that would have, at the very least, inspired me to add at least a few more posts to bring it to 300. Oh well, here I am now.I did a little bit of maintenance to my list of linked blogs. It's much smaller now, reflecting the fad nature of personal blogs. I cut about 2/3 of the names. I feel like by coming back to my blog after

In light of tamlin's re-starting of her blog, this is yet another attempt of my own to revive my long dead blog. I was also going to similarly comment on how no-one is going to read this post but then I remembered that I linked my blog to post as facebook notes and so others may actually read this, since the internet basically is facebook to many people these days.Well let's say facebook -

What’s this? A BLOG post after months of total silence? Why yes, that’s exactly what it is! It’s been 4 months since my last post, give or take a few days (in blog time, that’s like 6 eternities.) I wonder if anyone is even going to read this. I notice that I hit over 10,000 unique views during my absence. That's a shame, it definitely should have been a celebration post.What could possibly have

This will be a short post since I should be cramming for my Sociology Final that will be happening in about an hour and a half, but I felt the need to blog post about the beautiful sun that is out right now. However, not suprisingly, as I was walking up to my school there was an ominous dark grey cloud above it, while the sun was shining everywhere else. I'm

I'm writing this blog post as I take a skytrain tour of down town. My saturday worked out as such that I had 3 hours to kill downtown by myself, between 5 and 8 pm. At first I went to the VPL, only to discover it closed at 6, so I needed to come up with somewhere else to kill time for 2 hours. After doing a bit of wandering, I decided that I would get on the sky train and just ride it for as long

That's pretty sweet I think. My life sort of exists between two computers right now, this one and my old one. My dad bought my old desktop off me, but he still has to clean out his office so that I

This won't seem like anything to anyone reading my blog... but as Leigh once said in a post long ago, this is the conclusion of the longest running story on my blog. I am posting this short post on the Windows XP partition of my new 17" MacBook Pro. That's right all, it's all here. Yes.I finally got it, and it pleases me so.

Yeah, yeah, I'm long overdue for a post. Switching over to the new blogger system resulted in my being locked out of my own blog because the anti-spam blog bots flagged it as a potential spam blog.

Today in my poetry course, I learned something pretty awesome about my instructor, Patrick Friesen. He was talking about his hometown of Steinbach, Manitoba, which also happens to be the home town of Miriam Toews, author of A Complicated Kindness. He was talking about how he knew her when he was living in Winnipeg and so on. I then mentioned that the lead singer of The Weakerthans is also from

So tonight I watched an extremely different, quite aggravating and yet definitely "perversely interesting" (as Roger Ebert put it) indie movie called I Am A Sex Addict by Caveh Zahedi. It was on the new release shelf in Roger's Video; I had never seen it or heard anything about it. I picked it up based on the title and the back sleeve (and the fact that it was an IFC film).What do I say about it?

I feel like I am two different people, and neither one complete. But I also don't feel complete just trying to be both incomplete halves. How does that work? On the one hand I love art, writing, music, the creative process and all the trial and tribulations of it. Yet I don't feel like I really AM and artist in the purest sense... or at least the sense that I can see in my friends who are "

Nicki and I were talking yesterday and we both decided to start making a list that we'll add to once each day. The subject of the list will be simple: What we like about ourselves. The idea was just to be for a month, but I don't see why I should stop at a month........well let's jsut see where this goes. I think this will be a good thing for me.1.

There was a woman blocking the exit from our parking stall today after lunch. She apologized and promptly moved her van so we could back out and my dad made mention that this woman didn't recognize us, but we knew who she was. She was Mrs. Wagner, one of our old landlords from a previous house. Now I knew that we had had some issues with these people when I was younger, but I had no idea the

In order to help out Vanessa, I went through a large stack of papers and such (mainly of old school assignments, oddly) to find a list of addresses. I found the list of addresses, but I also found a whole bunch of random shit that I wrote in high school.

So, just to bring those of you who don't know yet up to speed, I've broken my foot yet again. It's my left foot this time; I cracked 3 bones when a ladder I was on fell out beneath me at work.

I'm long overdue for a new blog post but I honestly don't know what to write because, for a variety of reasons, I'm making an effort not to be so analytical and reflective on my own life, for the sake of my mental health. I don’t want to fuck up the process for the sake of my blog. So it looks like it’s going to be surfacey entries for the next while.I got $58 GST rebate from the Canadian

I've been basically at home nursing a cold all day today, which means that I've been doing crazy stuff on the internet all day. I've been watching George Carlin videos on Youtube. I've been playing simple internet games. I just got up from a nap where I dreamt my mom made me a plate of nachos and they were so awesome but I had no salsa. Here's the game, Particles.

Sometimes, I say the weirdest things without thinking. For example, a few days ago I was at my computer after dinner, when my family asked me, “Austin, Do you want some dessert?” to which I replied, “What do you mean?”Lake Chavez: an insidious place. A relatively small body of water that is apparently the result of a separated chunk of ice from the last ice age. Now, surrounded by dense trees and

Holy shit, Blood Diamond was earth shattering. As a movie, it was incredibly well done. DiCaprio's accent was iffy (I know rhodesians), but the message was jaw dropping. I had no clue about blood diamonds or conflict diamonds. I know that our consumer practices here in "first world land" directly affect (in very violent ways) the lives of millions in "developing nations" but I've never had it

That’s how many I have in my mouth right now and it fucking sucks.I’ve had recurrent canker sores basically my entire life and I hate them. They are so painful it’s unreal, and there’s basically nothing you can do about them. I have one on the inside section of my gums at the bottom left.

It's 2:04am now and I figure it’s a good time to start a blog entry. I’m trying to keep myself awake, at least for another hour or so, as a sort of crash-course-hope to teach my body to get used to being up late. Why you ask? Because Monday and Tuesday night I will be painting a YMCA in surrey overnight. Crazy times indeed. I think all it will really accomplish is fuck up my sleeping pattern a

You’re right, it has been two weeks. I’ve fallen prey to that thing that I sometimes do. No, I don’t pre-write blog entries and like rough draft them or any crap like that… but I do write them in Word and then copy paste them over, because far too many times in the past have I written large entries only to have my browser crash or something similar and thus loose my entire entry.

Alright so, after an introspective self-deprecating post like that last one, it’s time to get back to some surfacey glory.Today, as I was riding the bus home from school I got a call from TD bank. It turns out I’ve been pre-approved for a credit card. It’s a modest student sized amount but it made me happy to hear. I made sure the customer service rep. (who kindly let me know that our

And now, a small and random excerpt from my mind:Do you know what upsets me? How it seems like the only way I know how to relate to the world around me is by focusing on how inadequate I feel in comparison to all the things that surround me. I compare myself to everything. I know that is stupid and it’s what everyone tells you, you should never do but I can’t seem to help it. And I know that is a

Today was my nudity day. As in, the day I shower in my proud nudeness at the minoru aquatic centre after work. Today, there were two small kids joking with each other and laughing a lot. I wasn't really paying attention to them, untill one of them started laughing and saying "Bitch! Bitch!" His friend said, "Hey!

This is basically going to be a follow up post to my last one. Long and introspective...I finished Body Piercing Saved My Life today, and when I did I was suddenly filled with this feeling of peace and almost a deeper understanding and appreciation of myself. I spent sometime trying to understand what this feeling was to try and explain it. And then it came to me. I actually felt good to be a

Some of you know this already, but I've been wanting this book for a long time: Body Piercing Saved My Life: Inside the phenomenon of Christian rock. Not that I'm a Christian rock fan by any means; discounting my past, I've basically abandoned the entire "subculture" in favour of music that's actually good. In all honesty, I purchased this book mainly for all the information on David Bazan. The

I wanted to sleep last night. I really did. But sometimes my desires aren't so lucky.Sometimes I feel like such a fucking joke. Something completely devoid of anything of substance. Like I'm existing just to further the construction of all things plastic and synthetic. Like all that I talk about and want is really just a piece of plastic wrap covering an empty dish.

Despite that however, I actually wrote a song this morning, one that I'm really, really proud of.

I really have to make a concerted effort to blog more consistently. I have to read this book for Sociology, Starlight Tour. It’s about the death of Neil Stonechild and it’s really gripping; I’ve been reading it to and from work in the truck and during lunch break. It’s especially interesting since it is a true story that involves real people. I don’t have to have it read until the end of Nov. but

I haven't posted in a while...usually that means that I was gathering a large repository of material and ideas to post about... all of which I've now abandoned in favour of actually posting something with any kind of meaning.

So, I'm back at school and today I had one of those, "Ahh, it feels good to be using my brain again" moments. It's a good feeling. Last night I went to Charity Case 3, a musical/spoken word event promoting a local art magazine called One Cool Word. I've always wanted to see some slam poetry, but never got around to it. Well, last night I did see some and it blew my mind. I can't remember the last

If I forget, people need to remind me to do something nice for Sharon at Kwantlen admissions. She helped me after closing time and was just really awesome. I was thinking of getting her a thank-you card or something. I'm in three classes now, creative writing (online), a computer science course and sociology.

Just when you think that you've made some progress, that you've finally grown up or you've finally matured past some aspect of yourself that you were never satisfied with, you realize that all those hopes you had for self-improvement were all in your head. You never grew up, you never got better. You're exactly the same as you were before. Life's thrown you some lemons again and instead of making

I BROKE A STRING. A G STRING. HAHAHA. But I did and I'm mad about it. I hate breaking guitar strings.I went tromping in watershed park today with Shuan, Nicki and Brock and it was awesome times. I brought my new cam along and took a bunch of pictures. It feels good to be taking pictures again, I missed it, I must say.The reason I haven't updated my flickr in forever is beacuse I realized that

So I had enough cash for my macbook pro, but I'm not getting it yet. Why? Because my friend Justin convinced my to wait untill after next week, untill after WWDC. That's the World Wide Developers Convention for Apple products... basically it's where Apple announces all their new lines and products and stuff. So really I should wait untill after that and perhaps buy something that won't be

I never thought I'd ever, EVER have this happen to me. A man approached brock and I yesterday at work and asked us, as a favour to the neighbourhood, to\ listen to "anything but rap". Me, listening to rap. Ugh. Well I guess to be technical it was hip-hop. To clarify further, we were listening to The Streets. Has anyone listened to their album A Grand Don't Come For Free the whole way through?

I know several songs where I thought the lyrics were a certian way, but then I learned that I was wrong and that the actual lyrics weren't as good as the ones that I thought they were. Usually this happens because the line I think I know is really the only line I know in the song, so I have no way of really verifying if it fits in the overall message of the song. But whatever, I'll shall tell you

How does one get involved in flash mobs??? They sound like the coolest thing ever. This is from the wiki article:In modern usage, flash mob describes a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly disperse. They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks.Check out the

Listen to this while you read my post. It will make you more contemplative. I bought a new keyboard yesterday because my current seems to be spazzing out on me. So I bought one of these crazy virtually indestructible keyboards taht are waterproof, dust proof, can use them underwater and in sandstorms and such. It's basically just the sensor pad covered in silicone.This is what it looks like.

I decided to go to seattle rather last minute this weekend and I was glad that I did. It was good to see my friend Justin again, it had been to long. I also did some Go-karting action. Woot Woot. In fact, so did my mom. That was awesome to see, but I'm clearly a better driver than she is. Seeing as how I only have my Class 7L, what does that mean?While I killed some time in seattle, I discovered

between 10pm and 9am, I got about 4 hours of sleep. The rest of the time was spent tossing and turning and trying not to end up in a position where my swollen throat was blocking off my breathing passage.Postal Service. This is awesome for two reasons: 1. Look at Ben Gibbard. JUST LOOK AT HIM. 2. Jenny Lewis is hot.I die now.

Last week, er... two weeks ago, I had mad strep throat in a bad way. I just finished all the medication for it last friday. Last night my throat felt tingley. This morning it's all inflamed again...

This is my new tshirthell.com favourite. Now, I don't hate God, but I was bored on-line so I was investigating whether certain sites existed or not...and I came across this one and I just had to point out some of the popular categories associated with hating God... Apparently, if you're a christian or jewish single or a pregnant teen, it's pretty common for you all to exclaim "I hate God!" I
