| This morning really sucks. Firstly, I got up late. Then I reached to class late and there was NO space in the tiny classroom that my class was in. Not one. So I had to bail on that. To compound the situation, there wasn't a single lab on campus open and I didn't have a locker so I couldn't even go to the library to do some reading. But then I remembered that I could get a visitors locker and the lab finally opened, only to realise that there's a new log-on system that you must sign up for on only two available computers. Imagine the chaos in September!! And the thing is that I can only use it for an hour. After that, the machine locks or something. But at least there are none of the unrealistic restrictions there were last semester, when there was no right-click menu available or no pop-up windows at all. Not even legitimate ones. And the resolution is back to normal now -- not that HUGE resolution where everyone could see what you were looking at. Oh! and apparently there is a pass-list out but it's only available on Monday to Friday between the hours of 8am to 4.30pm. How kind of them. I wonder if I can watch porn on this computer? |

| It's hot outside. I told my students please come to class today because it's the Champions League Final and I'm gonna miss it just to come to class today. No one showed up. At least Juventus didn't win. They suck. Especially Del Piero. I have class on Friday evening and it's a holiday. Shit!! |

| So why am I "unorthodox"? Let's see.
I think it's ok to give school children condoms. They're gonna do it anyway, no matter what ppl tell them, so might as well be safe. I'd prefer vote for a corrupt government that I get something from than an inept one where I get nothing. I believe in the right to assisted suicide ie. Euthanaisa. I believe that the worth of a human life is overrated. Cricket sucks bigtime. I know absolutely nothing about cars. I don't even have my licence and I'm 22. I'd prefer to stay home and sleep or watch tv on a Friday or Saturday night anytime and than go out. (it's just too much work!). I think the funniest movies ever made were the American Pie series. I'm a Dawson's Creek freak and I watch Queer as Folk too. No I am not gay. That's just a few... |

| I got this in my email tonight:
VIRUS ALERT If you receive an email entitled "Bedtimes" delete it IMMEDIATELY. Do not open it. Apparently this one is pretty nasty. It will not only erase everything on your hard drive, but it will also delete anything on disks within 20 feet of your computer. It demagnetizes the strips on ALL of your credit cards. It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on your VCR, and uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play. It will program your phone auto dial to call only 1-800 numbers. This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. IT WILL CAUSE YOUR TOILET TO FLUSH WHILE YOU ARE SHOWERING. It will drink ALL your beer. It will leave dirty underwear on the coffee table when you are expecting company. It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine. If the "Bedtimes" message opened in a Windows 95/98 environment, it will leave the toilet seat up and leave your hair dryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and pillows, it will also refill your Skim milk with whole milk. ******* WARN AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN. ******* And if you don't send this to 5000 people in 20 seconds, you'll fart so hard that your right leg will shoot straight out in front of you, sending sparks that will ignite the person nearest you. Send this warning to everyone. |

| It's a week later. I haven't gotten a job as yet; still hunting. Spent the last two days visiting Student Advsory and other places on campus. I've made up my mind that I'm gonna do one course for summer school. I actually went to lime for two days last week. I guess that was to make up for missing out on Tuesday. My sister had to ask me if I was okay when she saw that I was going out on Friday. It hasn't been all that bad. I'm still up north and Miranda's close by. But I did miss the very last episode of Dawson's Creek last week. I still don't know who died; and I didn't even find out that Juve beat Real up till Sunday. Watched the Milan derby though. Too bad for Inter.
Here's a laugh or two. Sorry if you're offended. An Irish Priest has a hen coop with a number of hens and one rooster. One Saturday he goes into the coop to get some eggs, and can't find the rooster. This bothers him because he believes that some people engage in cock fighting in the parish. The priest figures he can find the culprit at mass the next day. On Sunday, he gets up in the pulpit and says, "all of you who have a cock, stand up"! ALL THE MEN IN THE CHURCH STAND UP. "No, no!" says the priest, "I mean all of you who have seen a cock, please stand up". ALL THE WOMEN IN THE CHURCH STAND UP. "No, no!", says the priest. "I mean, all of you who have seen a cock that doesn't belong to you, stand up". HALF OF THE WOMEN IN THE CHURCH STAND UP. "No! You still don't understand. All of you who have seen my cock, stand up". ALL OF THE NUNS, HALF THE ALTAR BOYS, AND ONE GOAT STOOD UP. |

| It was supposed to be my last day of school. I was supposed to be rejoicing and reflecting on how I completed a milestone in my life and I was entering what 'adults' called "The Real World". I was supposed to be spending time with the friends I made over the last three years of my life, some of whom I may never see again, and telling them good luck in life. I was supposed to be getting drunk on multiple XS' and Smirnoffs. I was supposed to be hugging people and singing chutney songs like a good Indian would do.
I did none of that. I'm sorry If I didn't say goodbye... |

| It's Saturday. I'm not having a great weekend. I think I either barely passed or completely failed my exams on Thursday and Friday. I have three more on Monday and Tuesday and then I'm done. I really don't wanna go to summer school. I'd much rather get a job and just relax and not have to think about school, since I'm not really doing well here. The job is becoming a little difficult to acquire too. I think this where I ask life to give me break but I'm maybe a little past that now. I no longer ask for breaks since I know I bring this on myself. But I AM trying to study unlike last semester when I wasn't studying at all. It was terrible then. I still need to show Sally my grade slip. And tomorrow is Mother's Day. I'm not going to see her. Some son she's got huh. I'll be in school sweating it out like the rest of people who have Strategic Management on Tuesday. I guess I'll be having chinese for lunch tomorrow again.
Oh I had Smirnoff Ice yesterday. Two actually. It's great. My kind of drink. |

| I am surprisingly calm for someone who has five exams this weekend. I haven't resorted to taking uppers or any other sort of chemical relief from all the stress, including the migraine pills which my girlfriend has been doing lately. She gets them bad. BTW: welcome home Stef!
The heat has been taking it's toll on me lately cus I've started feeling kinda tired during the day when I should be wide awake. I haven't gotten back a single positive response to the hundreds of emails I posted looking for a "summer" job. Ok well not quite hundreds, but it was over 50. My sister asked me about that Sunday night. Another of those questions I politely brush off. She's come to realisation that I'll be staying at least one other semester next year. UWI's taking it upon themselves to start the next academic year's registration torture a couple months earlier cus the process begins in June this year. I guess so it'll give them a longer time to adjust their shit. I'm really trying to avoid summer school too. |

Why did the chicken cross the road?PATRICK MANNING (Prime Minster ?) It is a policy of my Government to allow chickens who have been historically alienated from the other side of the road to now have access to that side. I am presently in discussion with community leaders in the area to ensure that the chicken is able to cross safely. So the question just does not arise. In fact, ladies and gentlemen, if you observe carefully you can actually see pep in its step. HOWARD CHIN LEE (Security Minister ?) It is a result of a holistic plan to allow chickens from everywhere to cross the road safely without fear of being kidnapped. I have instructed the police and army to ensure a safe crossing. We need to make the roads safe to cross again. If we were not so vigilant, the chicken may not have come this far. BASDEO PANDAY (Prime Minister) Brothers and sisters, for so long the chicken has toiled in the vineyards of the other side of the road. It is the result of years of struggle against discrimination that the chicken can now cross the road. KELVIN RAMNATH (minister) If the chicken is crossing in central Trinidad, its safety cannot be guaranteed. GLADIATOR (102 FM Morning host and qualified IDIOT) It is a response to Basdeo Panday's call for civil disobedience. Shame on you chicken!!!!! KEITH ROWLEY (Planning Minister ? ) The chicken is free to go anywhere. Th other side of the road belongs to you!!! COLM IMBERT (Just a plain Fool) The chicken cannot cross the road. It is dead! KEN VALLEY (Minister) It could run, but it can't hide!!! PETER MINSHALL (Mass Band Leader and Oh dear sweet God!!! Do not question which side the chicken is on...just appreciate it's beauty.... for what it is!!! RAMESH MAHARAJ (The Man who history will show set this country back 150yrs) We would have to file for an injunction to prevent more chickens from crossing....otherwise there is the option of judicial review. BARRY SINANAN (House Speaker/mouse) It is not a matter of urgent public importance. A.N.R ROBINSON (The Senile Man who history will show set this country back 150yrs) The chicken is clearly acting within the confines of the rule of law and the Constitution. I have no doubt that the decision to cross the road is based on moral and spiritual values. ADESH NANAN (Just a plain Idiot) The chicken is showing that there is now a shift in the pardigm. HAZEL MANNING (Aspiring Cook of the nation) To join other chickens having their breakfases. EDDIE HART (Just does not have an idea - GOALLLLLLLL!!!!!) To voter pad!!!! KEVIN BALDEOSINGH (Alien) This whole question is deviod of any factual substance, yet the ignorant masses continue to ponder on this abstract concept from age to age. If we are to analyse this issue logically, and according to scientific thought, chickens cannot distinguish one side of the road from the other and hence, cannot determine on which side it is on in the first place. In his Theory of Relativity, the reknowned German physicist, Albert Einstein theorises that the chicken is already on the other side, depending on your (the observer) position. Hence the debate will automatically follow that the chicken is constantly crossing the road. This is clearly an argument to foster the illusive and baseless concepts of omnipotence and omnipresence. The logical conclusion is therefore: there is no chicken. JOHN RAHAEL (Looking for one SWEET cut-arse) The chicken has recognised the need for a restructured road and this action is clearly an indication by the chicken to voluntarily separate itself from one side to the other. |

| What a great question from crazythoughts.com.
Why is it when we talk to God we are praying, but when God talks to us we are put into the loony bin? |

That really hurts. Imagine going up to a girl and having that said to you. I remember a time when I couldn't even go up to a girl to say hello. How I ever managed to have a girlfriend I don't know. I've been accused of being antisocial so many times it's amazing I even have friends. I don't even call any of them. Someone asked me today how my mom was doing. The last time she saw me was probably for Mother's Day last year. I think we would communicate more often if she had email. Somehow I think I've already blogged about that. But back to the antisocial thing. I do sometimes "pass people straight". I know. It's not in my nature really to call out every body I know. Shout out their names and give them the requisite "bonx". It just ain't me. I like being the quiet person noone knows. On the school front, I just read a hundred pages of tax notes for my exam next Friday. Now I need to learn the calculations which are the most important part since most of the exam is going to be calculations. Bah humbug. |

| I just deleted every single email address I ever blocked on my hotmail account. From now on I intend to only block all those weird addresses. All those spammers from Yahoo, MSN, Excite etc. are gonna be reported. I don't know why I did that. I should be studying, I know.
I've also picked up a couple new internet habits too. One's playing Pac Man and Collapse and the other's reading football news. Can't wait for school to be over. Can't stand much of it. I've also picked up another habit -- watching Dawson's Creek every morning. |
