I saw this today and it was just too much! Not much else to add to this

stranded sick in bed,
I sweat into my cold sheets.
as my day crawls by.

I’ve always been a huge fan of old school rap from 80s (as early 80s as possible) and my awesome buddy/coworker Vince got me onto this track recently. It is the new/old hotness.

Crash Crew – On the radio

I figure while I’m on an old school hip hop tip I might as well share my two favourite tracks of all time.

Fearless Four – Rocking it

The Sequence – Funk you up

Animals with good senses of smell are not complimentary to women. My attempts included:

1. Dog
2. Truffle pig
3. Elephant

Compliment fail….

This morning I went to the dentist (student dentist @ U of T’s Dental School) to get depulped. Why? Well, it’s the first stage of a root canal.

This involves me getting my tooth hollowed and scooped out. Yup, fun times. I pussied out last time I went because I get really anxious with local anaesthetics, whether it’s the needle or the feeling of losing control of my own body, I don’t know. But yeah, I pussied out.

So this time, I get the nitrous!

My teeth don’t feel too great but I’m looking forward to this weekend.

I’ll be going down to Hamilton with my crew, Skillz 2 Kill, for Steel City Cyphers. There’s going to be a 5 on 5 competition that we’re entering. I’m excited to be getting out to jams again and competing. Throwing down in cyphers, soaking in the vibe, and hanging out with some great people.

If anyone is in the area and wants to come out and support my crew or even just party after the jam then give me a call. I’d love to see some familiar faces in Hamilton.

Look out for me, I’ll be the one killing beats like Dwight Shrute

Peace!

God damn it’s resolution time again this year. That means it’s time to make that statement, that no one believes, that I will post to my blog more often. Well hear it comes….

I promise I will post more often in this coming new years.

Damn. Even I didn’t believe it. I seem to be in a constant state of flux these days. I’m trying to re-arrange and better myself in so many ways that nothing about me seems concrete recently.

Personal resolutions to myself (I started in Nov, don’t worry, it’s not a “lame” new years thing), time management, friends, hobbies (and adding hobbies, I still need to start salsa lessons), etc…

I’ve been brutally disorganized in some aspects of my life and horribly unmotivated in others. I think that I need to write down and prioritize all my current and ongoing goals for the future and set up next tasks (a la GTD) as well as make moves into completing others. If you’ve any suggestions for how you motivate/force yourself into doing certain things I’d love to hear them. Whether they happen to be mindsets when approaching tasks (chores, excercise, projects, etc…) or organizational tips to do/remember other things (room cleanliness, blog posting schedules, etc…). Please comment away with suggestions, ideas or even encouragement

I think for the blogging I’m going to set up a schedule. I will update what day of the week I will be posting new entries (1 post/week to start) and then see where we can go from there. I was thinking of micro-blogging (twitter) but don’t think I’ll follow through on it with consistency.

Hope everyone had a grand old year so far and I wish you all the best in the new year.

Peace and Love,

Ok, I’m super psyched and this post is going to be shit on content. I’m going to B.C. for two weeks!!!! What WHAT?!

So yeah. That’s pretty much that.

Anyways, I’ll do my best to upload pics of what’s going on and all that, I’m going to be shooting like a mofo while I’m there (crackheads be damned, Nara!). So if I can get to the interweeb on a regular basis expect some photos in my updates, ok?

Lates guys! See you in Vancouver!

3 Favourite books from high school

1. The Chrysalids
2. The 5th Business
3. Dragon Wing (Yeah, I’m in comp-sci, are you surprised I have nerdish tendencies?)

3 things I miss about Korea

1. The bboy scene (no surprise here)
2. The formal politeness and easy friendliness of the culture
3. The crazy drinkin/dancing/craziness of the never-ending Korean night-life

3 Favourite courses I took at university

1. CIS*4000 (Technical presentations) – I just love giving presentations. There’s just something awesome about taking a few papers worth of information (many hours of reading) and boiling it down to an informative and concise 15 minute presentation.
2. MUSC*2150 (Music and Pop Culture) – I wish I’d been able to take this course with Jesse as well but I learnt (and probably also forgot) so much about many classic types of music that I’d never really bothered listening to. (though I still hate The Beatles…)
3. ENGL*2740 (Children’s Literature) – made me buy a sweet book of nursery rhymes, with the original and messed up original rhymes. (ie: “Eeny meeny miney mo, catch a nigger by the toe,” wtf??!)

3 secrets you may not know or like about my beliefs

1. I’m an anti-theist (I’m against the concept of religion in pretty much all forms)
2. I’m an egalitarian (I think women’s rights are just as important as men’s rights. Hint: Chivalry is dead and that goes both ways)
3. I think prostitution and marijuana should both be legalized.

My 3 favourite places to have a good, in-depth and possibly “edgy/offensive” conversation in Guelph.

1. On the bus
2. Vienna café
3. The Arboretum

3 best breakfast places in Guelph (That I’ve been…)

1. Vienna Café (delicious, awesome atmosphere and a metric shit-ton of food for reasonable $$$)
2. Angel’s Diner (pretty darn good and cheap)
3. Eggcetera (Nothing mind blowing and the wait’ll kill you but it’s maaaaaaaaad cheap son, like a bird)

My 3 worst bad habits (there’s more than 3, don’t worry…)

1. Nail biting
2. Not answering emails
3. Not keeping on top of my to-do list

The 3 photos I’ve taken, that are on Flickr, that I think represent my photographic style

(man it was hard to pick just 3….)

Ok, now you all have an assignment. Comment on this post with a top 3 (or two, or three, …) of your own
