'Adventure, Excitement, A Jedi craves not these things.

Which Star Wars Jedi/Sith are you?

Obi-Wan Kenobi

You’ve managed to train both a great evil and a greater good, not to mention whipping the ass of the coolest looking Sith in the series. However, you do have a few weaknesses, like Count Dooku and a douche bag of a Padawan. Other than that, you are the epitome of class. The accent, the outfit, and your care for those around you is highly admirable. Arguably, you are the best Jedi that ever lived, having owned Maul, Anakin and Grievous, a total of seven lightsabres among the three.

Back to the Blog

Well, three weeks of crazy hectic school schedule's are finally at an end. For three weeks non-stop it was test after test followed by exam after exam. At the end of it, I was just burnt with very little brain capacity left.

To celebrate, the class decided to head to the lonestar. I wasn't too high on the idea for my own reasons but decided to head to the restaurant anyhoo realizing that the likelyhood of the running into a certain individual would be small. Naturally, the odds were against me, and she happend to be working that day. Thankfully, they only seat groups on the inside and since she was working the patio, there was no awkward encounters.

Lunch itself was quite good and said goodbye to a few individuals who I might not see again for a while. Afterwards, I came home and kind of went blitzwing on the living room giving it a large tidying up since I've started to see some insect life hanging around. When that was done, I went for a run, cleaned up and then headed to Windmill's for dessert with the x-ray folk.

(As an aside, two songs that get me pumped when I run are 'Emery - Holding Out for Hero' and 'So they Say - Forever Young'. They get me so Amped!)

Windmill's has a very delicious white choclate rasberry cheesecake. Every bite was fantastic and I recommend it to anyone who hasn't had the pleasure.

After Windmill's, we came back to Casa Bone for some drinks and chatting. Overall it was very casual until A) One of the third party invites (friend of a friend) got drunk and started playing air guitar on a folder chair and humping the table and B) McM came home and had lost all control over the tone of his voice, unknowingly shouting at everyone. But in the end, every party needs something like that so you have a story the next day.

Spent the weekend following doing Jitsu and hanging out in Mississauga with Skimpy. The course was a nice tribute to Shihan Graham and overall was very fun. To save a lot of writing, here are a few photos:





Long story short, we trained, we ate (Meat!!!), we drank and we were all quite jolly. The night ended at four at which point I ended up going to FlippyDan's place. As we got home, we found his roomate drunk off his rocker and making a stir-fry at 4am which was unique. FlippyDan stayed up to make sure that his roomate didn't kill himselp with hot stir fry items while I set up my sleeping bag on the floor and proceeded to pass out. The last thing I remember is hearing FlippyDan say "I left the light on in the bathroom for you". Thinking it was a dream, I chastized myself for having stupid dreams and then finished passing out. The next morning I woke up .... and the bathroom light was on!!!

After making a few calls and dropping off some donation money for High Chief, we headed off to Mississauga. I made FlippyDan stop off for some food as I'd decided the 1/4 bag of dorritos that I'd had wouldn't quit cut it. Thus we stopped at A and W for the $5 teen burger and root beer float combo! At some point during lunch I looked at the salt and pepper shakers and asked whether pepper was the opposite of salt. FlippyDan didn't quite know what to say since he too was perplexed. We decided then to make it our mission to find out if anyone actually knew 'What the opposite of Salt was".

We left for Mississauga, got there, ran a red light, waited at the meeting point restaurant for 30 mins due to being in different locations (patio and inside) and then finally met up. Went shopping for a billion hours with Skimpy covering the entire mall approximately twice. I did manage to get myself a new Wolverine shirt though which I think is pretty sweet.

Following that, we went and saw Batman Begins on the IMAX. The movie itself was wicked sweet and overall a very solid flick. I'm sure this was partially due to the all star cast which includes one Chritian Bale! Makes me want to become a superhero like Batman. I could be 'BoneMan'! Or not since this also sounds like a porno title.

"It's not who I am underneath, but what I do, that defines me."

With the movie, ending it was time to head home and it was due time since FlippyDan and I were both tired. When I arrived home last night I passed out and slept more soundly than a baby after a bottle of milk.

Quick Update

I've been studying for exams these past few weeks and a lot of things that are blog worthy have gone unmentioned. For brevities sake, I'm gonna put this all in point form:

- Studying blows and causes me to fall into worse shape (is that how that's said?)
- I've applied for two jobs. I should apply for more.
- Graham Shihan Tribute Course this weekend in Peterborough and I'm there
- Got to see Baby Bear before she left and she was hot as ever. For the record, since she's gone, I do and have always had the hots for her. It's not hard to see why though.
- J-Bun is one off the wall chica. She should learn to be more responsible and spend less time with people who are of questionable stature
- Two out of three exams have gone well. Hoping to make it four.
- Had a pretty wonderful flashback when I heard the song 'Because you loved me' by Celine Dion. Made me smile for a whole day whenever I thought about it
- This line from 'Incomplete' keeps playing back in my head:

"I don't mean to drag it on
But I can't seem to let you go
I don't wanna make you face
this world alone"

It's either because I'm a romantic at heart or just unwilling to accept things as they are panning out. Guess this means I follow the path of the Jedi and believe there is still good in dark places in the world. 'Master Zout' has a nice ring to it. 'Master Bone' sounds like it belongs in a porno.

"There were moments of gold, and there were flashes of light..."

Today's a pretty sad day in the jitsu community as our head of style, Brian Graham Shihan, passed away last night after complications following his surgery. This is fairly disheartening to anyone within the Jitsu community as he embodied everything that some of us have come to love and none of us would be doing the things we do if it wasn't for him.

I've had the privilege of meeting him only on a handful of occassions but every moment of it was a treat. He had a definate presence to him which everyone understood but no one ever dared question. He was always compared to Yoda as he would mutter random musings about things no one could understand just to get a laugh but when he was serious, no one dared stand in his way afraid that he'd use the purest forms of jitsu to annihilate anyone within sight.

He was truly a fountain of knowledge to gain from and will sorrily be missed by all of us. Certainly though, if we were to use the adage that the measure of a man's life is in the people that he is able to give to, then Brian Graham has left us the legacy of a man far beyond what anyone could fathom.

I plead guilty

I have a confession to make and may have to go into therapy once I've said this but it must be said. I love women, especially during the summer. Everyone always knocks the summer heat but I love it because it brings out a woman's natural radiance. With the clothes getting that much smaller and tighter, I can't help but notice all the things I love about them. Yes, there is are the obvious hints of cleavage that poke their heads out from the lower cut tops but there's other items aside from that one that are subtle but still adored.

The hints of abdomen shown with smaller tank tops; accentuation of hips in the smaller shorts and my favourite; the beads of sweat glistening off of that spot on the neck where the collar bone ends. All so fantastic.

And thus, as it hits me in the face almost every minute (especially since I live on one of the main streets in Kingston) I can't help but caught up in staring at the magnificence which the lord puts before me again and again (and again).

Does this make me a bad person? Probably, but a happy bad person. Ultimately though its not my fault that you women look so good. It's your fault and should accept responsability for your fantastically gorgeous figures.

The dream has just about faded away...

Thanks in part to a very in depth conversation with J-Bun this morning, I have found the things inside of me necessary to move away from an inner conflict that has plagued me for some time now and shift back to reality.

I never reconed myself as someone who would hold legitimate hate for anyone because I'd like to think I walk on the brighter side of the tracks. So when it eventually found me I was at a loss of what to do with it. But just like anything in life, it just needed to be sourced out for the root of what had stemmed it to rid myself of it.

And eventually, after some prying into dark corners of the soul I didn't know existed, I found the answer which I've needed for a while. It wasn't an easy thing to grasp but in essence it boiled down to the fact that two differing value systems were clashing and in a time where I would have laid down and died for another, they in turn were never willing to return that type of trust and/or faith.

I don't ask much of my friends other than that they are willing to show the same faith and conviction in me that I give to them and when that didn't happen, my system short circuited. So, now it's time to just remove the weak line and move on. They're are too many other important people out there who have given me their time for me to just ignore them while waiting for the link to fix itself.

And so now the dream dies and I move on looking out for a guy who's more important and needs a little mending. It's funny because I feel exactly like Obi-Wan Kenobi fighting Anakin acknowledging his failures and leaving with:

"You were my brother Anakin, I loved you."

Except, change brother to sister and that's where I am. But people change and it's time that I recognized that.

[Aside: My goal here is not to slander certain people in this blog entry. I only mean to acknowledge to those that care, why I've been at a lose for a little while instead of pretending nothing bothers me.]

Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek

This was the song on the season finale of the OC. It had caught my ear and I was looking for it for quite a while and figured I'd put it up if anyone else was looking for it.

http://s38.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0CN4RIP0Q7P0Y2238IQPEUIPHC

This is what someone on http://www.leonlandgersing.com had to say about it. Agree or disagree?

"Sometimes you wake up and you've been feeling something for a week...maybe longer, maybe shorter. You watch the movies that make you feel, you listen to the songs that do the same and still nothing. Then something strikes your soul, something so profound that you take notice and you say...that's it. That's what I'm feeling, that's how I'm feeling it. That's it."

That's right ladies and gentleman...



I'm the diet coke of evil, just one calorie!

In other news, school is preventing me from doing anything fun these days. I'm missing jitsu and the guest instructors that are only here for a little while! Poop.

I got to try contrast media today which is the stuff the techs give to patients so that certain structures that arn't normally seen on radiographs, can be visualized. It tasted decent but it gave me a headache for a little bit.

Lately it seems that some of my good friends are running into rough patches in their lives and I'd like to let those people know I'm currently working on mustering some extra Zout brand magic and will be there if you call my name or 'Stick out your thumb'.

Nobody’s laughing now
God’s grace lost and the devil is proud
But I’ve been walking for a thousand miles
One last time I could see you smile

-Dave Matthews Band - American Baby
