Everything has chaaaaanged

Nothing has changed really. I feel so good right now, well not this instant. This instant i feel very tired beacuse of a late night last night celebratng a good friends entry into manhood. but over all i feel excedingly good. I have been working out, riding my bike to school and walking home from school a bunch lately leading to me being in the best shape i have ever been in. I went dancing twice this weekend and was able to dance for hours with almost no breaks which is much better then i used to do. Dancing is dammmmn fun too.
I have also completly reconciled my relationship with my Ex-girlfriend to the point that we are as close as we were while going out, except with nothing physical to fuck things up. So, in what i view to be a karmic gift, pretty girls seem to be all of a sudden attracted to me! Wonderful, i will never be upset with befriending pretty girls. Life seems to be on an upward turn, with all sorts of oppertunities arising for me. Now i just need to figure out how to makethings happen with these pretty girls so insted of saying good night, i can say good morning......
Ahhhh........... being single can be pretty great.

P.S. if you don't know already, every sunday night from about 1100 -200 am, what i would now consider to be the best band in the city plays at Steamer's. "Velvet", super chill, organic funky grooves, set to 808 drum tracks, Ill vocals, fender rhodes keybards and some rad musicians. As well it seems to be where and when all the beautiful people go out to dance and be gorgeous. fun times. peace.

Valentine's Day Massacre

Not really. Reading break is alllllllll over and it's back to the old crappy routine of sloggin through my damned prerequiste bullshit courses with out any motivation. Ieading break was pretty great though, like I mentioned before I did go camping on friday night out at Sombrio. It was really beautiful, nice sunny weather, and asskickingly big waves. We surfed for about three hours on friday I got a big fat ZERO on my wave count! It was just too gnarly (thats right, gnarly). The average wave height was around 6-7 feet with some bigger sets coming in at more like 8-9 feet, thats ceiling hieght in most rooms, a wall of water 300 metres long and 8 feet high coming at you lying on a surfboard on your stomatch. Sweet shit. needless to say i got WORKED! It was great though, on sunday I did manage to catch a good ride, that is 1 good ride in a total of six hours of sitting the ocean in feburary. Awesome. really it was worth it though, good excersize, my triceps haven't been this solid ever before. I guess thats what happens when all you do is paddle for six hours. Then on Sunday I went down town and helped out with the Lion Dancing cerimony for Chinese new year with my kung fu club, that was a really great experiance. There were about thirty people helping control the crowd, drum, and dance, then after we finished the cerimony we got red pockets with a little treat in them and that night,(my favorite! red pockets with treats!) we had a feast. What a feast! Last week's was nothing in comparison. This one was a 12 course banquet in a very traditional Chinese style, with some of the courses being: roast duck, lobster, cow's tongue, pig's knuckle(pigs have knuckles? I geuss so), Jellyfish, and the most interesting of the evening, ducks feet. there is little to no meat on a ducks foot. it was mostly skin and bones and cartilige. i would not really recomend it to anyone, I tried it though so thats pretty good right?
anyway thats about it. I had a midterm this morning and it wern't bad. I'm filling in for a bassist in the Island big band for the next few weeks on monday nights so that should be cool and I think I am getting a regular gig with some really good musicians at the Fireside grill starting soon. thats all. stay in school. peace.

Never fear ya'll, I am alive!

Yes after weeks on Hiatus, I am back in buisness. you see the thing is i didn't really do much worth talking about, even to myself! Here is a run down of what's gone down. my buddy dave got back from a year in China in which he spent much of his time learning kung fu and chinese. We hung out, it was rad. We boxed a bit until he clocked me, and taught each other kung fu and tai chi and now he's gone again for two months to Tanzinia in Africa for a safari and to teach english to some jungle children. I have mostly been doing school so that boring and i wont elaborate. I have been playing music a fair bit with the guitar player from my old band, and the singer has been coming and jamming too, which is pretty great. On Saturday night he brought over a tape of the last night that we played together as a band and DAMN we kicked ass! so hopefully something will start up again soon and we will be rocking Victoria once more. Seriously, KICKED ASS! I went Camping up at french Beach on friday night and got severly messed which was a hoot, then went hiking up at Sombrio on saturday morning which was also hooty( no waves though due to extremely shity windy weather). Yesterday i blew up an umbrella and then went out for a chinese Banquet for my Kung Fu club. We had a nine course meal! NINE COURSE! crazy, it was hella good, hella. so yeah, that about brings ya'll Back up to speed. i can't wait for reading break though, shiiiit yeah! more camping and there should be waves so imma surf it up. peace
