IMO CHECK THE TITLE

I will  write more later but I want to be clear I am crying right now. This is pretty amazing

More later

I said earlier in the night to my roomies, that if Obama wanted to win in Fl he'd need the Cuban voters to switch.

And yo it looks they did.


Also the crowd in chicago is just amazing. I think that something really important may be brewing

So Obama just had OHIO called for him and I cannot see McCain coming back at this point

ALSO I am getting trolled by some dude I don't know and whose only connection to me is through a girl I had some serious FEELINGZ for  so it's like lol this election ownz.

PS I stopped drinking but I am going to start again

We now know who got the Babby vote

8:20 and I say Obama has won, apparently it's not OFFICAL that he has won pennsylvania yet but if he did it's over. Awesome.

I

Republican strategist: Look it's just kind of known that conservatives are not usually impressed with this kind of person. .  .  .*realizes that it sounds like he means BLACK people*  uh people that are treated well by the New York Times Editorial staff *sort of hangs head*

I feel bad because the dude DIDN'T mean that it conservatives hate BLACKS but man it seemed like it.



EDIT: McCain won Kentucky, Obama won Vermont I am shocked

First beer = opinions

So I think that Obama will win, I know I am the real Maverick here, to take such a brave and unexpected stance. The loser white guy who loves rap music is going for the black dude, shocking
.

Food for thought as I am almost done of this beer.

Kanye West lives in chicago

Barack Obama is headquartered in chicago


You do the math for the celebration

it's 5:36 pm apparently polls don't start reporting till 8pm?

So I am going to have dinner, find a good online source (preferably CNN and  Comedy Central's coverage) and start drinking. May god have mercy on us all.

Man if I make it through this week I will be the fucking best telemarketer ever

If I don't well at least I got to almost sell insurance.

Oh hello again Livejournal, it's been a while, I am still not dead, although I will be honest it has been touch and go for a while. May I explain Livejournal? Oh thank you!

So it seems this big city has this stuff in the air called 'SMOG' and well if I may be honest, my little city lungs were just not prepared for this, I have been going back and forth between not being able to talk to spitting up shit (NOT LITERALLY JEEZ!) and I will not pull any punches, I do not like it! Not one little bit, but I don't care I would rather breathe in a million toxic things then have the psychic toxicity that typified Prince Edward Island.

That's right PEI was basically a System of  A Down Song, but with less Armenians.

So I have a job now, and it's at a call center, and to be quite honest, and I am nothing if not honest, it is probably not going to be a very emotionally fulfilling job. But you know what it will fulfill? Well my POCKETS mostly, with MONIES. Also it will fill my room with a BED, and my pockets with plane tickets home for the Christmas Holidays. Also my office is located right off Bay Street, Which is rich person central. Did someone say SMASH THE SYSTEM FROM WITHIN? NO? Oh.  . .sorry I thought I heard it.  . .my bad.

Seriously though, a bed! What an age!

Hey Livejournal? Do you remember the Bangles? Do you remember the song 'Eternal Flame'? Do you remember LOVE? Because thanks to the first two things I do. And it is fucking amazing.  Also I just started watching Bangles videos on youtube. Time has been kind to Mrs Susanna Hoff, jesus christ.

Hey I might do this a lot again now that I have a job. Who can say?

so I forgot the third base story,


Friday morning as I stand on a packed bus, three drunk late teens (POSSIBLY early 20's but I doubt it) get on. the guy and girl stand about two inches away from me, as I said this bus was packed.

SO the guys likes the girl and shoot, she likes him back, so they kissing, but not the kissing you usually do in public (none if you're me, but bare with me please) no this was dirty kissing, 'I want inside you' kissing, and as I said it was two inches from me.

I am holding the pole (not like that lol) that is there specifically to help those of us that have to stand up, and as thus I have a view over the loving couples shoulder. Taking a moments break from staring at the ceiling I look down, apparently if you are on a crowded bus in Downtown Toronto at 1am it is entirely feasible to, and please pardon my choice of words here, but it is entirely feasible to think that 'hey what me and my drunk lady friend here need to do, is have me finger her'

And so he did. Subtlely! But still he did. I am not yet able to fully describe the feeling of standing so close to two people doing something so private. I think the words may be BIG CITYED but I am not sure yet.

A similarly attired gentleman with a much better beard than myself was on the otherside of the amourous duo and a few times we caught each others eye as if the be like 'hey bro, big city living eh? Fingers all up in her. Man oh man'

Then we fingered each other.

All right yeah my weekend was pretty busy, join me as I recap it won't you?

So Friday I met up with my Toronto based friend Melissa so she could show me around/tell me about the Kids in the Hall 25 anniversary show I didn't get to see (I do not want to discuss it). We ate at a  restaurant and the food was pretty tight, I mean let's be honest, I got chicken fingers, I have bad chicken fingers about as often as I smile (NOT A LOT OK, I AM PRETTY SAD AND STUFF) so like of course it was good. Lowered expectations, it's the lifestyle I am embracing in this wonderful city.

ANYWAY, so after we ate I played minesweeper at her place while she napped/used her phone. I wish this was some kind of sly trick where I admit to some sexy dalliance through metaphors. But nah dude. I mostly sat there and played Minesweeper after discovering I am not as good at Civilization III as I thought I was. Next up we went to the comedy club (http://www.absolutecomedy.ca/TOintro.html) where she works, and I would very much like to work (I have an interview sort of thing tomorrow, sup). The comedians were cool enough, one of the guys  I had seen a few times on television so that was kind of interesting. I am very nervous re: stand up though as apparently my one weakness (networking) in vitally important to success. I hope that I can get a few shows and then people will just decide that way if they like or dislike me. I am not very good at glad handing  and would hate to ruin my 'career' because I am not a good chit chatter. Oh well I am pretty sure that is me being over worried

Following the comedy club we took the bus and I got to experience the joy of walking east when I meant to walk west and getting on the verge of lost, in Toronto at 2 am on a Friday night. After taking a moment to calm myself, I found a cab and happily paid the dude to take my little city ass home. More days to come, I don't need to get fucked up on my first night out.

Saturday was spent looking up jobs with Danielle Diamond via the internets, and waiting till the allotted time had passed and we (Daniel, Gabrielle and I) could mosey over to Sneaky Dees to see Brooklyn punk dancey dudes Japanther. Two bands opened, Dance Electric who were kind of going for a These Arms are Snakes vibe but didn't have the riffs to back it up, the second band was called romo roto and it was a dude and a lady drumming and using effects pedals to make some noise. It was really interesting although again outside of the interestingness of seeing a band that left of center in a bar setting, they didn't do a WHOLE lot for me. Finally Japanther came on and the place went suitably nuts, as I type this two days later the area below my knees is black with bruises and my shoulders are both pretty badly bruised. That said, it was AWESOME, aside from one moment where I thought that perhaps I had broken both my legs, I had a terrific time yelling along and being part of a crowd that was excited and appreciative of a great band. It was pretty cool and invigorating.

Sunday was mainly spent taking time to remember our Lord and again job hunting on the internet with Danielle. Also I tried to pirate a Pro Wrestling Pay Per View but that didn't work out for me. what a damn mess.

Monday was used as a day to feel really, really fucking sick. Highlights include laying on the couch wrapped in my Boston Bruins blanket, praying for death (in a different manner than is usual for me). Then the power went out and shit got confusing so I went to bed.

AND THAT BRINGS US TO NOW!

Man these posts are all pretty dry.

ok I am really tired and my legs are hella bruised and ok look I am also kinda smelly cause look, sometimes you go to shows and they are wild and crazy affairs and you are yelling and getting pushed around but everyone is pretty cool about the whole thing but even still you're all sweaty.

Sometimes all that.

I will talk about the third base business tomorrow. It's sunday the day of sabbath, black sabbath *sings guitar riffs*

I've been in Toronto for almost a week so far, this time has mostly been spent job hunting. Which is not a very interesting subject in all actuality. Write resume, send resume, pray for response, drink Pepsi (or a glass of Grapefruit juice [from concentrate] that you bought, under the mistaken impression that it was lemonade)

That said, this city, and to be fair I haven't even begun to put a dent in it, is amazing. I am of the sound mind and feeling that as soon as I get a job I will be living large, proverbially. Literally anything I could want is here. Including the ability to blend into the background. Which is you know, NICE.

Yesterday was my first real 'exploring' day in which I traveled via subway (great success) and bus(slightly less booming success) and really traveled around the downtownish part of Toronto. Seeing a bunch of places that I had heard about as a young music/comedy fan (ed: imo they are all pretty small) was interesting. The Horseshoe? Oh neat! The Rivioli? Goodness me! XXXTRA Video?  . . . I didn't mean to see that one.

I also went to a comedy club and started the slow (and painful and uncomfortable for me cause I am bad at making impressions) job of meeting and 'networking' with comedians in the hopes of getting gigs/famous/beloved.  I made some pretty good headway, possibly. I don't know. The show was all right but as you may or may not know I am not a big fan of most stand up comedy so like whatever.

Finally, and I say finally because this is really some boring ass shit, I am going to see Japanther tonight at Sneaky Dees and let me be clear about this, IT IS GOING TO OWN SO HARD!

Sidenote: Owns, is my new Toronto phrase. In so much as I find saying something OWNS in place of something is AWESOME/WICKED/COOL is hilarious/trenchant/tight as hell. Just to make sure you all understand me

Anyway the show is going to own (so hard) and I am excited to see my first of hopefully many cool bands that PEI didn't really give me the oppurtunity to see.

When I get home tonight I'll write about the third base type business I saw on the bus coming home last night.
