I'll assume that the majority of you out there use facebook. If not, your either smart enough to realize that it will consume a good part of your day leaving no time for a social life, or you hate being part of society and live under a rock. Personally I can't get enough of facebook. I pretty much live off of it. For the past week i've been on it non-stop till about 3 am, which is pretty sad since it leaves no time for sleep. I'll skip right to the point. Almost 2 weeks ago while on one of my friends pages I noticed on the list of things that she did today, it said that someone had clicked yes on her. Intrigued I clicked on the link for it and it led me to the hot or not application. For those who don't know what hot or not is, i'll explain. Hot Or Not allows people to either click on someone they'd like to meet from the surrounding area, or rate someone out of 10. Now usually I steer clear of these things mainly because I hate being judged by someone random, especially if they're only basing me on what they see and the brief description I give. None the less I decided i'd give it a try and see what would happen. I began by inviting 20 people to join hot or not so that I could get "Primary Placement" meaning that more girls would rate or see if they wanted to meet me. After that I went and rated a few girls and clicked on at least 50 girls I would wanna meet. From there it was all about the waiting game.
So after a few days of waiting I checked on my ratings and on how many girls would want to meet me. My overall rating was 5.2. Pretty crappy right? well i won't lie, the picture of me is pretty bad. It's just some webcam pic I took and my webcam is crap so I can't complain. Then I checked on some of the girls who were interested in me. Suprisingly enough I got 7 girls, who I also clicked on saying that i'd like to meet them, that wanted to meet me. I was kind of suprised since some of them are pretty attractive and if they based judgement on the pic of me, then they must (or at least i'd hope) be good people. Now of course i'm never going to meet any of these girls, nor would I ever want to, but knowing that there's a chance for me to find a significant other is always a good feeling.

It's A Date
Now that i've got your attention with false advertising that I have a date, here's a new blog.
I'm looking at the clock on my computer and the time reads 1:48 am. Almost everyone I know is sleeping right now, yet I feel the strange urge to stay awake. I wasn't planning on doing a new blog today, although I multiple new topics came to me throughout the day. When I think about them right now, they were all pretty dull and stupid. I think that when I have an idea for a blog I should just ignore it, mainly because it's usually something not worth writing about or it's some spur of the moment idea that has no place on this page. I've got too much time on my hands this week, yet at the same time I don't. I've got a presentation due monday, and i'm not sure, but I might have an essay due as well. Although with the essay I have to read a book and although i'm already 4 chapters into said book, it's really not what I expected. The book is called "Into the Wild". Some of you might recognize it from the movie that came out in the summer, which was based off the book. The novel revolves around a young man named Christopher McCandless, who after graduating university decides that he's done with his life. No, he didn't comitt suicide. That would be a pretty dull book/movie, because really 2 hours or 204 pages of how he commited said death would be insanely boring. Anyways, Chris decides that he's going to go live in the Alaskan wilderness. The book isn't a story persay but more of how Chris gets to the point of his death. I probably should mention that this is a real story, and actually happened. The author, Jack Krauker journeys to exactly where Chris did, meets the people Chris met, and tries to piece together how Chris' death came to be.
You don't hear the author's thoughts on anything, but at some points you want to know what he's thinking mainly because the things Chris did really make you wonder. Keep in mind i'm only four chapters into this book and I have to be done by sunday night at the latest, so I can't really tell you much other then that the main character dies within the first few pages of the novel. Come to think of it, they tell you he dies right on the cover. I know, i'm boring you guys right now, but this is all I have to say at the moment. Keeping with the my little story here, I have to watch the movie for it as well, which is kind of hard since it doesn't come to dvd until february. Luckily I have some interent skills that allowed me to find a bootleg copy. I know, not hard to do, but i'm trying to write as much as possible here so exaggeration is key. So......... Damn this blows, without school stressing me out i'm fresh out of blog ideas. Wait, I said before that idea's are what make this blog crappy. Ok, so that was a little bit of a lie, mainly because I liked one of my idea's from today. So i'll write it:
J-Moose's List of Movies, Music, and Random Things I Hope For In 2008 *clap*
Movies:
The Dark Knight: It's freakin batman people. How can you not want to see this movie? It's got the joker in it!!!!! And he looks pretty damn creepy!
Dragonball: I grew up watching Dragonball Z so this film is pretty much my whole elementary school life. I will see it regardless if I have someone to go with. Just the thought of seeing Goku firing off a Kamehamaha beam in real life is pretty darn exciting.......I think I just went uber nered there, but screw you guys, I don't care. For anyione interested, Goku is being playing by Justin Chatwin (no clue who the hell he is), and if you guys watched Buffy the vampire slayer all those years ago, Piccolo is being played by the guy who played Spike.
Iron Man: It's gonna be an alright movie, but I really can't say I'm all that excited.
The Increadible Hulk: Same as iron man. After the last hulk movie sucked, i'm not enthused at all.
Music:
So there's so many new albums that are coming out this year, and I couldn't be happier.
Green Day: I'm a huge GD fan, and I couldn't be more excited for a new album. But when last month's rumours of a side project entitled Foxboro Hot Tubs started floating around I was extremely happy. Then I listened to it. The disappointment kicked in. Out of the 5 songs I heard from them, I only liked 2. If thats what new Green Day sounds like I'm scarred for the state of music.
Coldplay: According to Chris Martin, he's written a song everyone should hear. If it sounds anything like Clocks I will personally find him and kick the crap out of him. Other then that, I hope that the album is a little better then X&Y.
Weezer: I love weezer. They may be nerds, but I don't care. Nerd Rock is awesome. Screw anyone who disagrees. The new album will be awesome.
Tragically Hip: I'm pretty sure that every two year the hip put out a new album. 2006 they released World Container, and I loved it. I saw them in concert for my 17th b-day. Even more love after that. Come november this year, we shall all be bathing in Gord Downie's poetic genius.
Possible new albums in 2008:
U2's new album
Billy Talent 3 (i think if they called it anything else it would be a failure)
The Waking Eyes new album
Tokyo Police Club: Stop releasing ep's and make a fucking album already. A Lesson In Crime won't hold us over for much longer.
Thornely: The last thornley album came out in 2004. It's been 4 years. PUT OUT ANOTHER DAMN ALBUM ALREADY!!! I KNOW YOU DIDN'T BREAK UP!! NOW PUT OUT ANOTHER ALBUM!
Sum 41: I know there's not gonna be another album this year, but my hope is that dave comes back and leads them back into their glory days. We miss brownsound
Sam Roberts: I know he's recording. I know it will be good.
Rage Against the Machine: They're touring together for the next 3 months. Don't tell me a new album won't happen, because if they're playing concerts they're doing another album.
Our Lady Peace: Raine Maida solo project was amazing. Hopefully OLP can make something just as good...hopefully.
The Offspring: "I know you wanna hit that"
Metric: Emily Haine is Indie goddess.
Linkin Park: No new album, just the realization that Minutes To Midnight is the worst album of 2007 and hopefully the worst of their career.
Franz Ferdinand: Music that girls can dance to huh? Although i've never seen it, I'm sure it'll happen
Disturbed: Who doesn't want another Down with The Sickness?
Thats it for now.

A Year Under The Influence
So tomorrow is new years eve. Thats right folks, this means that 2007 will end at 12:00 am tomorrow. I was talking to a friend about the past year and it got me to thinking about how i've spent 2007. So here it is, my review of 2007.
Quite a few things have changed for me in the past year. For starters, I gained and lost a few friends. To begin the year, I had these people as my closest friends: Helena, Flaviu, and Michelle. Now I was still good friends with Felicia, Giacomo and Kristina, but H, F, and M were the 3 I always hung out with. Movies, parties, and other things, I was usually with them. As the year progressed, mainly in the summer, we kind of lost touch. No, not kind of, completely. They all kind of moved on without me. They'd do things together, but I wouldn't be included. Yeah it sucked to know that I wasn't called on anymore, but it helped me to realize who my real friends are. Felicia, Giacomo, and Kristina. You three are amazingly great people, and I can't imagine better friend. So there's the loss of friends, now how about a gain of them. For starters there's Jenae. I met her in my grade 10 com tech class, and ever since then we've become good friends. It's kind of hard to describe her, but if I had to try i'd say that she's got a big heart, tons to say, and is always willing to listen to her friends. Your amazing Jenae. Hmm, who else I have really become friends with this year? OHH! Katy! Me and Katy actually go way back, all the way to elementary school. She left in grade 4 i think or maybe 5, and ever since then I hadn't seen her. Then a summer ago she began working at wal-mart with me. At first I was like "Who are you again?" mainly because I completely forgot her and had to ask people from elementary school to tell me who she was. We'd talk every so often when we worked, but in the last few months we've talked a whole lot more. In a way she's a little like me. She's gone through a few of the things I have, she doesn't know where she's going in life and she's been confused with some things. She writes a blog like I do and usually we'll read one anothers and give an opinion or two. Katy, your beautiful and I never want you to think otherwise. I think that kind of sums up the friendship part of the year.
I guess the next thing about this year would be, "sigh" relationships. I'll make this short and simple. I'm messed around with my ex a little bit, we stopped talking. We started talking again around the beginning of novemeber. I'm still single, and probably will be for some time. I'd rather wait to find someone I can actually care about then rush into a deadend relationship.
Next would be accomplishments. Truthfully I didn't really have any set goals for 2007 other then to start dating. Hmm, well I guess turning 17 is an accomplishment right? ...who am i kidding, I didn't make good use of this year.
So here's my plan for 2008. I'm gonna make a list and actually keep to it. It's not going to be something i'll never accomplish, just simple things that i'd like to try.
1) Drink (alcohol) - I know its something that I could have done a long time ago, but i've never had an interest too.
2) Make 5 new friends - It is my hope that within the next year I will meet 5 people I can trust and call friend. I have only 4 people now that I can truly trust.
3) Be more social - To make these new friends I'm going to have to go out more. Meaning that I'm going to have to start accepting invitations to social events.
4) Attend at least 4 concerts - I've confirmed that i'm going to Foo Fighters in March, but I need to go to at least 3 more. Matt Good might do a full band tour so that would be good, but I need some other good bands to tour again.
And finally
5) Lose weight - this one is simple. Stop drinking 5 cans of pop a day and go to the gym more.
Thats all for now

Sally
Sally
Sally took two steps
Made sure she didn't look back
Travelled down a winding road
Kept her possessions in sack
--
Sally stoped to say goodbye to all her childhood friends
Made sure to tell them lies so her story couldn't end
Continued on her path until she saw the bend
To know where she could go
Meant the world would have to end
--
Sally turned to go right then ended up left
The curve has now turned straight
and leads Sally to her death
--
Sally's lost for years to come
and her family could care less
They just continue on as if Sally didn't exist
Her friends all try to cry
But their tears become supressed
Sally's won't be remembered nor will she be missed
--
Well now that i've got that out of my system lets write the new blog. For the last few days i've done pretty much done nothing but eat, sleep and work and listen to alot of music. I bought a few albums a couple of months back but I never really listened to them so i'm taking tonight to do so and already I can tell these were worthwhile purchases. Right now i'm listening to "Stars - In Our Bedroom After The War" and i'm pretty impressed. If you guys are interested i recommend taking a listen to the songs "Bitches in tokyo", "The Night Starts Here", and "Take Me To The Riot". Stars is all about love and romance so I know a lot of my friends wouldn't like it, but I can't get enough of it.
--
Another great album that i'm just listening to is "Tokyo Police Club - A Lesson In Crime" and again its just some pretty awesome Canadian indie music. It's a little weird at some parts because it talks about robots taking over the world. Kind of weird but then again every artist has their weird songs. Now thats an interesting thought, robots taking over. I wouldn't be suprised if it happenend, since the world is pretty much run by machines. Oh well. I can tell i'm not gonna write anything meaningful tonight so i'm gonna quit while i'm ahead.
