Halloween tragedys

It never fails.


This is halloween pumpkin carving at my house EVERY year.


*carving* doo doo doo this doesnt look too bad. it might turn out half decent this year.
Oh look. a little peice hanging off ill just get th-*MASH* - *knife slips* - *pumpkins face gets mangled by knife*
NOOOOO!!!
ok calm down...i can just shove the peice back where its supposed to b-*MASH* (more broken off) NOOOOOO!!!!


ALWAYS at the last possible thing i could have possibly cut out.


I hate halloween

You know what I hate?

Man, heres a collection of things that reaaallly make me want to ram my head into a wall over and over and over again when people say them.
Even sitting here thinking about it, makes me want to punch everything within arms length
in no praticular order

"Well thats just your opinion"
This is some peoples way of backing up there crappy arguments / likes.
When someone says this I just wanna boot there butt back to last week because OF COURSE its my opinion. thats why I said it!

"Whatever floats your boat"
The principles of bouyancy float MY boat. I dont know about yours...

"May or may not be"
people use this when they say, "this may or may not be true" As if there was some sort of secret third option that im not aware of.
Thanks for pointing out the only two possiblilties on the universe

"Sorry...but" or " no offense"
This is used in an unintellegent fight between usually girls and one of them has the nerve to say " im sorry to say, but the results are back and..... your stupid"
If you think someones stupid. Just say it. We all know you mean some sort of harm or you wouldnt be saying it in the first place

"Get to the back of the bus"
This is the worst when mature 40 year olds say this. WHAT? what bus are you talking about? Are we still in elementry school or what? If you want me to get to the back of the line. tell me to get to the back of the line and quit thinking your soooo clever.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmm"
I have to say this is the WORST when your in restaraunts and the person behind you feels the need to make some sort of audible noise to make sure the waitress isnt going to walk away without taking their order.
The noise of the moron..


Anytime someone asks you something but doesnt let you answer
for example
"you know what i love...cookies"
Well you didnt give me anytime to answer now did ya? I thought this was some sort of game and you ruined it for me

"Some of the best things in life are free"
Yah but so are the worst. you dont see me throwing a party when someone gets a terminal illness

"WAZZZZZUUUUUUPPPP!!"
no explanation needed


Im done Im getting worked up

Life: 10 billion Steph: 1

AH HA! in your freaking face life!
My premonition came true! this week IS better.
Yeah me and Janelle totally both got jobs at comfort inn doing housekeeping!
8.50 an hour isnt too bad so im PRETTY pumped.
Yay...

My prescription?,...Modest mouse

Last week I kind of let the world knock me down and keep me down.
But tonight is the end of that. Tomorrow morning is a brand new week and I will be back full force and ready to take on the world. (even though sunday is technically the first day of the week)
I truly hate being unemployed and I hate all of this lollygagging around I have been forced into. Its been a week I would just like to remove from the recordbooks I know that for sure.

But hey. Things happen no? Life happens and things will only get better from here im sure of it.


Speaking of which. I've recently realized that I have found my offical cheer up song. Iv known about it for years but I've never taken the time to actually listen to the lyrics for some reason.
I finally did and realized how incredibly encouraging they are..

Example.

Well, a fake Jamaican took every last dime with a scam
It was worth it just to learn some sleight-of-hand
Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands
Good news will work its way to all them plans
We both got fired on the exactly the same day
Well we'll float on good news is on the way

...

Aliright don't worry even if things end up a bit to heavy
we'll all float on alright


Im trying to let this be an example of how I want my thinking to be from now on.
I always thought it was stupid for people to stress out and dwell on fickle things, Im naturally an easygoing person so you think this trait would come naturally to me. Nope. Its gonna be hard to work on but I want this mindset so bad im willing to change.
Plus, It feels so much better to not be stressed out and be losing sleep over things that will always work out in the end.

Im not in control and I have to accept that and just go along with the ride....and boy its been one hell of a ride. But I dont regret a second of it.

Everything I wanted to say and more

Heres 14 things Iv always wanted to say to some people. Some of them you might be able to figure out. The ones you cant, im afraid you may never know
All these statements are left nameless. hopefully you know who you are when I say them
( some are directed to those who dont even read my blog...just so you know )

1. I love you like a sister. Im sorry for all the stupid things Iv done. Dispite the fact that all reason says we shouldnt be friends your the one friend I never want to let go. I know its hard to belive me now but please try to trust me. I screw up. Its what I do, and I love you for always forgiving me. Thanks.

2. Im sick of you and your games. Im over you. completly.

3. Im so sorry you wouldnt even belive. Its all my fault I know and I tried to fix things and i feel like im being pushed away. but im not letting go. not now. I just want you to realize I cant do everything in this friendship to fix it, Im scared its too far gone. Please assure me otherwise?

4. Be yourself. If you even know who that is anymore.

5. Im happy for you but secretly jealous, and I hate that.

6. I love you but I hate your choices. Smarten up, im really worried your not going to come home one night.

7. I really love you man, and im glad were friends now. but start caring for other people before you screw up the one who loves you most.

8. Iv known you for 3 months and I feel like iv known you forever. Your halarious and always a pleasure to be around. youve been through alot and I really admire some of your choices youve made, it makes me wish I would have. please dont change. except dont get upset so easy. change that

9. Your the funniest kid on the planet. Your cute and Im really glad were friends now. go alpha brainwave team!

10. Pretty much 12 years of friendship and I feel like you still hate me sometimes. I dont like the scrappy brother/sister relationship we have. treat me like a friend not your annoying sister. Although Im glad we can still tolerate each other after this long, your a funny guy.

11. I dont get why everyone hates you so much. I really enjoy you, maybe im just not around you enough but your one of the nicest/down to earth guys i know. except when your really immature. but what guy isnt?

12. Your my music human double, and you have a great sense of humor, the card you gave me is taped in the back of my journal. that was some of the nicest things anyones said to me. thank you so much I dont think iv ever told you how much that inspires me in a day.

13. Get your head out of the clouds and come back down into reality. Look around and pay attention to what people are saying or you might miss something. Your a smart guy so stop acting stupid.

14. I LOVE you. Your a sweetheart and one of my best friends. Im really glad you trust me as much as you do and youve been through alot but know that im ALWAYS here for you through the rest of it no matter what. I really appreciate all youve done for my family when no one else would.


Im sorry if that passed by over anyones head. If it did this wasnt really meant for you.
haha meant in the nicest possible way of course

R.I.P. Booster juice uniform

Thats right, I got fired today!

It wasnt out of bad workmanship or stealing or you know..the common things to get fired over, Oh no. It was much more stupid than that

My dads driving me to work because he didnt want me to drive on the bad roads
He has to turn around because the roads are so icey.
*calls into work *

Me-Yeah I wont be able to make it in. my dads driving me and he has to turn around. we almost hit the ditch 3 times going 50 theres no way i can make it in its way too icey

Girl I work with- Oh ok. ill just call Hilary

*4:00*

*phone rings*

Yah hey steph its Hilary. Im afraid that you working at the stores isnt working out. Ill be more than happy to give you a referance though.....good luck



Uhm.....what?
This is the best day of my life. 3 months till Australia...0 jobs
Steph-0
Life-10 billion and one

The crane wife

Im sure none of you who come here regularily really care...BUT!

Alas! The Decemberists finally came out with there new album! ( although, i use finally very loosely because...I didnt exactly know they were coming out with another one )
And unlike alot of albums lately that iv bought this one is jammed pack of pure solid gold

I heard the track " when the war came " on CFCR as I was driving home from work and my stereo was cranked and my jaw was dropped.
I tought to myself " Hey, this sounds alot like the decemberists..only..better..and diffrent"
And to my astonishment the announcer said its from there new cd and i was like...uh...must buy.

So about an hour after I got home I headed right back into saskatoon to get it.
The second I put it in I was overly satisfied and spent the next hour or so listening to the cd with the jacket in my face reading the lyrics.

Laura veirs is a guest voice and does a duet with Colin on the track "yankee bayonette". That almost made my head asplode. I dare you not to love it...go on... I TRIPLE dog dare you!

But seriosly. Last song on the cd called " sons and daughters" as lame as it sounds they ACTUALLY have a round at the end of the song. and hey, I dont expect you to be like " COOL!" But quite possibly the best ever. iv never actually heard that in a good song.
Belive me. It can be done

But anyways. im done profressing my love for the decemberists.
I only have one beef with them.
North American Tour....No Saskatchewan! WHAT!? well....I guess I kinda saw that coming

What goes down on thanksgiving every year

*grabs a heaping plate of a mound of mashed potatoes, a pile of corn and half the turkey*
*devours it all*
"Holy crap im full, I couldnt eat another bite!.............................Hey!, theres pie!"



Mhmm...thanksgiving is such a north american holiday

(the government having a meeting)
Lets have a holiday which main purpouse is for people around the country to stuff there faces with as much food as they possibly can instead of helping out other needy countries with there starvation problems

Its north american we-have-alot-of-food-and-you-dont weekend!

Happy turkey day

So it turns out I dont have to spend thanksgiving away from my family and giving my dog away

We get to keep bear until christmas!! yay!

Mmm....Hmmm.....

I thought I told myself I wasnt going to write down my dreams anymore when im half asleep.
I lied I guess

I woke up this morning and found this written in the middle of my dream journal for some reason


Fill it up
forgot
got out of car and got roastbeef myself


What...?

In the backseat

"So in the end, was it worth it?
Jesus Christ. How irreparably changed my life has become. It's always the last days of summer and I've been left out in the cold with no door to get back in.
I'll grant you I've had more than my share of poignant moments. Life passes most people by when they're busy making grand plans for it.
Throughout my lifetime I've left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there's almost barely enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent.
There are no more white horses or pretty ladies at my door. "

-Blow

Oh inverted world!

Do you want the bad news first or the good news?


Bad news- I had pretty much the worst day ever today, Im not even going to begin to describe it because i know no one wants to hear it.

Harvest-mlarvest Moon-shmloon

I went off to Harvest Moon this last Friday, and let me tell you it was ever so much fun.

It started off in a neverending hunt for matt. literally. we still dont know where he is. Thats a little weird but beside the point.
Anyways because of that major glitch our take off time was...delayed by 3 hours at least. and ended up being just me and Kendall driving all the way to edmonton.

The festival started at 630 and we arrived at his cousins house at 8.
We were ready to go and watch MewithoutYou until Cody ( kendalls cousin ) decided he wanted some Burger King.
So we stopped and ate in for some reason and all the while we came to the conclusion that it was the slackest BK on the planet. Alternative music pumping througout the entire restaraunt and the manager hooting and hollering in the kitchen.
Dispite that fun adventure I was pretty dang upset because we missed mewithoutYou'sset. We didnt feel like paying 25 bucks to see there last 3 songs so we stood outside the gates like the cheap losers we are.
From what I heard outside they were pretty incredible. just as i expected. except for january 1979 that was ...ok

We went back to codys and watched fear and loathing in las vegas and i fell asleep on THEE creakiest bed in the world. This is my impression.
*moves fingers* EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKK!!!!!!!!!KACHUNK!

Running low on sleep we ran out the door the next morning to catch tuxedo mask, who rocked as usual. I even bought a shirt. I will post a picture soon because it rocks so much.
We left after them for a bit to go shop around not as west ed because the boys didnt care for riley armstrong.
We then came back to see Glory Nights. Dont really remember much besides that they were decent.
Then was Jacob and Lily, except those werent there names at all. Not even close. but all i can remeber is the guys name and his name was Caleb.
Anyways the girl had an INCREDIBLE voice and the dude played that...box drum where you sit on it. I was very impressed with their set. check them out if you have a chance.
Then we saw a bit of joy electric and then left. and went by a duck pond outside of the area but we were still within ear shot unfortunatly. ( the joe and pigeon john are hip hop artists i didnt praticularily enjoy, expecially pigeon john ) and threw stuff at the ducks.

Came back for the myriad who rocked as well I was so impressed with how good they were live. for there last song "dissapointed together" one of the 3 guitar players used a bow on his guitar. SO COOL! that one was and is still my favorite by them

Then was blindside, dun dun dun DUN!! SOOO good!! there was such a massive crowd compared to everyone else and for good reason. i was smiling clapping and taping the entire time. enough said.

But this is getting long as it is so ill end with we woke up early today and went to west ed and saw a sea lion show. cool
Now im home and im sick and tired and I GOT A JOB AT BOOSTER JUICE!!
I win!
I start tommorow and im gonna puke im so nervouse

In case you havent seen my other blog...

I did win that photography competition.
Not only did I win the competition but I also got another photo as an honorable mention!
I also got an invitation along with only 5 other people to go to an all day workshop lead by a proffessional photographer...No way!!! Im so stoked out of my MIND!
This is the photo that won



This is the honorable mention




Personally I think it should have been the other way around but who cares?

A dreamer dreams, she never dies...

Man on the Train: Hey, are you a dreamer?
Wiley: Yeah.
Man on the Train: I haven't seen too many around lately. Things have been tough lately for dreamers. They say dreaming is dead, no one does it anymore.
It's not dead it's just that it's been forgotten, removed from our language. Nobody teaches it so nobody knows it exists.
The dreamer is banished to obscurity.
Well, I'm trying to change all that, and I hope you are too. By dreaming, every day. Dreaming with our hands and dreaming with our minds.
Our planet is facing the greatest problems it's ever faced, ever. So whatever you do, don't be bored, this is absolutely the most exciting time we could have possibly hoped to be alive.
And things are just starting





Waking life = best movie in the world

Just 'Cause I Rock

Oooooh , I AM the coolest







Speaking of rocking....

Dont you love the feeling of a song being burned into your memory. Your sitting there and you can actually feel the moment being crystalized into your brain and you know your going to remember that moment forever.
I had a moment like that tonight, two songs in a row. It wasnt even a special moment or a special song that I loved or anything. Just a normal moment. It was kinda nice .

I think it had to do with the lyrics though. They went like this

i hope this song starts a craze.
the kinda song that ignites the airwaves.
the kinda song that makes people glad
to be where they are,
with whoever they're there with.

we are the best at what we do.
and these are the words you wish you wrote down.
this is the way you wish your voice sounds,
hansome and smart.
oh my tongue's the only muscles on my body
that works harder than my heart.
