a rolling stone waiting to be set in motion

tonight I got to be part of real world christianity in action.
It was scary and beautiful.
It involved real famlies and spiritual families.
It made me put my own egotistical thought process aside and be part of a working body in which I was just a small piece in the bigger picture.

I've hardly had anytime to digest any of this, but it's going to affect me for a long time to come.

Sweet, you know whats awesome?
When it turns out that the bus you've been taking all semester to get to school doesn't actually run during the 'Holidays'. So sweet, not only do I get to spend over an hour freezing my ass off (i'll use whatever language I please, thank you) waiting for a bus that isn't coming, on top of that after a ride in a bus i've never been on and a transfer to the o-train, I end up being half an hour late and get to walk into a room full of 200 kids looking at me like 'why the hell did he even bother to show up if he was gonna be so late?'. The Simpsons are right to mock public transportation.

I think i already mention that I got the job I was talking about...so.... once again, i'd rather kill the enviroment by taking a car then save it by freezing my ass off waiting for the bus!

2 down, 2 to go
3 days till i'm home
don't get me quarters for christmas, they changed laundry machines from using change to using pay cards. Buy me chef boy'r'd, instead

sweet, I got the job (the personal care/assitant). I think it's gonna be really good, 2 days a week. I meet the guy I'm working for/with, he's really funny, amde me laugh so much. He's sorta like a pre-teen/teenager but without all the annoying stuff (no offence teenagers). Of course he was having a good day, so we'll see what it's like when I start, i'm stoked! (is that word outdated yet?)

anyways, three more exams to go, so keep up the prayers (or good lucks, or lighting the candles or whatever it is you do).
I feel like I'll be the last one home for xmas (which is probablly cause I will be).
But for all you brockvillian's, check out heather anne's site. were playing something somewhere, so be there! (the something and somewhere have yet to be decided)

So the psych went... well i dunno. I felt good about it, but maybe i still failed it... it was 100% multiple choice, so i had an answer for every question.
I'm curretnly studying anthropology and memorizing evolution. I think that we are a very egotistical species. We think that we have the ability to discover every little fact about the world. I'm also not pleased with the post-modern society in which we leave ("all truth is relative" if that statement is true, then it is a universal truth, thus making all truth not relative all the time, thus opening room for universal turth! ha, take that 2004 society!) anyways, i'm too busy to fully indulge myself in such discussions at this time.

I have a job interview tomorrow which is great (except that i really need to study for my next three exams, on monday, tuesday, and wednsday). The job is to be a personal assitant to 30 year old guy with a disability. Now that I think of it, I should have asked what the disability is. I think it's just mobility and all the things that go along with that. It would be a good job, espciallly as i'm trying to get into social work, good experience.

I also applied for a job at fed ex (they have student jobs for shipping packages) this job would be sweet because theres a show called King of Queens (which actually sounds like it's a gay show now that i think about it), but anyways, in the show is a fat guy named doug who works at a paercel delivery place (like fed ex) and he has a hot wife. So I figure I'm a fat guy named Doug, if I work at a parcel delivery job then all the other pieces should fall into place!!! (i'm not really that shallow)

anyways, thanks for allowing me to procrastinate studying for another 5 minutes
much love

Tomorrow, 9 am... pray for mojo (and by mojo i mean me)
I start of my university career exam period with a big one.
Psychology. My entire exam is made up of the mid-term and the final. Both 100 questions multiple choice. On the mid-term I got D+ so i need this one, or else i fail, which will definatly not be good for trying to transfer to social work.
so here we go...

So lots has happened, plenty of funny and humerous stories since i last post. ask me about them if ya wanna know

It's the middle of exams, so it goes with out saying that my mind likes to wonder off to things that have nothing to do with exams.

It's so hard when your ideals, the way you think you should live your life, are so very different then the way you actually live your life. For instance, I hate capitalism. I hate this idea of 'geting ahead' in life by making money and accumulating things... capital. I'm a christian, I read Acts and see this has the way I should life. I should sell the crap i've gotten over the years and sell it and give the money to the poor and needy. Yet I need my computer in order to do my school work, and I don't really wanna give up my family guy dvd's. Sometime I want to go live in a monastary (really i do), but other times i think of how great it would be to have a plasama tv with surround sound.
Sometimes I think my ideal apartment/home when I grow up would contain a mattress, a chair and a book shelf full of books with nothing else (except a kitchen of course). Other time I think of all the cool stuff i want
----side note--- It's been my 'dream' to one day have a fish room, a room with shelfs that have loads of fish tanks, so i can breed guppies and actually keep track of the different genetic strands. SO now you now i'm a dork

Anyways, I guess i'll probablly end up being a sell out and a yuppy, or some poor version of a yuppy.

Last night was the campus crusade 4 christ christmas party, it was ton of good times. I also watched elf, so now i'm in the christmas mood, even though i should be in the studying mood... oh well. I'm looking forward to geting these exams done and over with!

So I spend all my time making songs instead of doing homework... now I must pay. It's my final paper and it's really dumb (usually I would have said 'gay', however I'm trying to get rid of my prejeduce slang). IT's for my first year seminar which is designed to be like highschool (oh how I detest it). i have to put in pictures and charts how... dumb. the worst is that it's a group project (i have a partner) and he left it till the last minute too (it's due tomorrow) so we have to find a way to finish our parts, then merge them into a coherent papaer then add and intro, conclusion and bibliography. So stupid.
Anyways lately i've been reading 'A Raw Youth'. I bought the book just for the name, but have discovered that it is written by a russian author who is usually placed in the same category as the author who wrote 'The Fixer' (very good novel). This one is similar in it is roughly the same time in Russia and is very philosophical. I'm looking forwar to finsihing this paper so i'll have a couple of days to read before I start studying for exams.

i've been meaning to update for awhile, but now i have nothing to say, so listen to this instead:
