Civic Holiday Cartwheels
(Three Doors Down - Away From The Sun)
I think I pulled a muscle while attempting to do a cartwheel at work; and the important one too – the groin muscle. I’m not as limber as I used to be.
Remember when you were younger and you could do ridiculous things with your body, like touching your toes, without throwing out your back? God, I miss those days. I remember I also used to break dance as a kid. If I attempted any of those moves today, I’d definitely be breaking something.
This long weekend is packed with activities -- the Vince Carter charity game, drinking, dancing, movies, poker, beach volleyball, bbq’s, golf, fishing, birthday dinners, etc. Oh man, just the thought of all these fun events makes me want to do another cartwheel. Stupid groin muscle.
Have a great weekend!

Karma will make sure you get what you deserve and deserve what you get.
(The Cranberries - Twenty One)
There's this fire that's burning at the core of a paper mill and it's threatening to burn down the entire building. You first grab the nearest fire extinguisher to try and put out the initial spark but you're too late. So you start running around looking for a telephone to call the fire department. Then, just before you start dialing 9-1-1, you wonder if the company is getting what it deserves for cutting down those trees -- some sort of bad tree karma. And you let it burn; slowly watching every last ember fade into the night.
Don't fuck with karma.

Redo, Retry, Rerun
So we were driving back from our camp trip a few weeks ago and we were stuck in traffic. A few cars in front of me in the other lane there was this car towing a horse wagon. (Is that what they’re called? If they aren’t, then that’s what they should be called.) Now horses seem like such beautiful creatures. They have long legs, a silky smooth coat and they are extremely elegant in their movements. But the truth is, any sort of beauty is lost as soon as you see someone take a shit. I mean, here we are on the highway and this horse lifts it’s tail up and dumps a hot steaming load onto the highway. It’s a good thing the guy behind that wagon wasn’t tailgating. He might have had to drive home with a load of horse shit on top of his hood. There’s something that would definitely be handy for James Bond if he had to drive through Toronto – a horse shit ejector in the back of his Aston Martin, to keep people from tailgating him.
...
Remember in Spiderman when Mary Jane asked Peter to kiss her once to see if he had any feelings for her? I’m just wondering, if you’re in that position and you’ve just had onions for lunch, or you went to dim sum and you’ve got some bok-choi (Chinese greens) stuck in between your teeth; can you take some sort of rain check on that? It’s sort of like when you play monopoly and your dice rolls off the board, you get a redo. I think that’s only fair for both players. I doubt either one of the two people involved would feel “it” with a piece of bok-choi in the way.
Mary Jane – “Kiss me once and tell me you don’t feel anything for me.”
Peter Parker – “Do you have a toothpick and some gum?”
Mary Jane – “No I don’t. Just kiss me.”
Peter Parker – “Can I take a rain check? I’m not feeling very…fresh right now.”
Mary Jane – “I’m getting married tomorrow!”
Peter Parker – “I’ll have fresh breath and white teeth tomorrow!”
Mary Jane – “Forget it.”
Peter Parker – “But I had bok-choi for lunch!”
Mary Jane – “What the hell is bok-choi?”
Peter Parker – “They’re Chinese greens and they get between your teeth sometimes.”
Mary Jane – “I’ll bok-choi you if you don’t kiss me!”
Peter Parker – “I just can’t.”
Mary Jane – “I don’t understand you at all Peter Parker.”

Casting Shadows On An Endless Circle
(DJ Seto - Rebirth) (in heavy rotation)
Every morning it’s the same. The alarm clock beeping; the wake-up shower; letting my dog out for his morning shit; gathering my stuff; driving to work; slowing down near the corner of Britannia Road and Mississauga Road to avoid a speeding ticket from Mr. Sneaky Policeman; walking into work exactly 1-2 minutes late; answering all my emails; and sluggishly working through my “To Do List”.
It’s routine and I hate it.
I want to wake up and have the sun rise from the west.
I want to wake up and work through my “To Don’t List”.
I want to wake up knowing that I’m not going to be awkward today.
I want to wake up in the morning not knowing what’s around the next corner.
I so desperately need to get away.

The return of Cleaky Squean the dyslexic janitor.
(DJ Seto - Rebirth)
I’ve been a little busy lately both socially and at work; which usually means I neglect some of the things I really enjoy; like music, reading and writing. (Am I starting to sound like an education commercial yet?) I’m more lethargic and slower than I usually am and at times I feel as though I’m at a loss for words. I can actually see a slight delay in my responses to people. If this keeps up any longer, I’m going to be one of those dumb people I usually make fun of. That’s got to be a real bummer when you start turning into people you usually make fun of. So I’m taking a few minutes out of my work day to just jot some things down and to exercise this extremely underdeveloped brain of mine. Hopefully I’ll have some more things to write in the next few days…

I want you to sigh and fall apart.
(The Cure - The End of the World)

Yesterday I bought an Astro Boy watch for $5. It made me happy. Then a bird pooped on my head. : )

...
In other news, my good friend Noriyuki Yumiyama is going back to Japan to work for 6 months. Seeing how his girlfriend never lets us see him while he's here in the city, at least now he has a legitimate excuse for his absence in our lives. May Japan slap some sense in you my good friend.
...
I like Tahiti Treat. It makes my teeth red and my stomach jump with glee.
...
Sonia hates bacon but I love it. One day when she's sleeping I'm going to wake up early and make her breakfast with lots of fruits, whip cream and bacon. Then I'm going to surprise her with this breakfast of champions. When she refuses to eat the bacon I will suggest putting the hot bacon on her body instead. Then I'm going to eat the bacon off her body and make irresistable chewing noises. All this passion and romance will drive her insane and she will have no choice but to love bacon just as I do. Mmmmm bacon.

Education is so underrated…except when you pay an arm and a leg for a degree and companies won't hire you because you lack "experience"

The roof is on fire...
(Heart - These Dreams)
So a storm was brewing last night and the thunder and rain was so severe that everyone in the office was talking about it. Too bad I had no recollection of it. I'm a dead sleeper. However, I did have a coincidental dream about being in a warehouse with Sonia staring out the window at 6 tornadoes that had touched down. I don't usually remember my dreams but this one for some reason or another stuck around til I woke up in the morning. I guess even though I'm a heavy sleeper, my mind isn’t completely asleep if it's able to translate a storm outside my house into a storm inside my dreams. I find that fucken fascinating, don't you? It’s sort of like having spidey senses while you're asleep! Now if only I could wake myself up when I sense danger.
I recall once when I was in a high rise building and they had a fire on the floor just above me. The alarms sounded and they evacuated the building. My parents woke me up to leave the building. I was of course the last one up and the most reluctant to leave. As I groggily walked towards the door, after my parents and sisters had walked out, I calmly locked the door and went back to bed. It wasn't until a few minutes later when my parents came back banging on the door did I finally get up and leave.
I would make a horrible Spiderman. I mean I can sense danger but my reaction to danger is somewhat...what’s the word...RETARDED. I'm also deathly afraid of heights so there would definitely be no climbing walls or swinging between skyscrapers. I don't even like tight clothing. Bahhh, I can't relate to Spiderman at all!

I sprained a finger on each of my hands. I got about 15 mosquito bites on each foot between my toe knuckles during my fishing trip on the weekend. Now my toes and fingers look like cabbage patch kid digits. Woe is me.
I was scratching between my toes at work today. I told them I was trying to make some cottage cheese for lunch. I think my co-workers were a little bit grossed out.

The winds of change are whipping up a storm; severe weather advisory in effect.
I'm in the midst of breaking a habit that’s been part of my life as long as I can remember. This will be one of the most difficult changes I've ever had to do. I'm giving up the shakes. That is, I'm trying to stop being so fidgety. I tend to shake my knees when I'm nervous, on edge, or bored. I'm trying to take note of when I do it now so that I can stop. If you happen to be around me and you see me shaking my knee, please let me know!
However with this change, I have no intention of retiring my nickname "Shaky Jake". I will forever be known as Shaky!
Next thing to change will be my knuckle cracking…
...
I was just in my workplace kitchen and there's some sort of dried fruit on the table, possibly apricots that someone has brought in to share. I generally don’t have a problem with dried fruits. I've had yummy dried apple slices, dried raisins and even dried pineapples. Dried apricots however have a striking resemblance to the female body part that starts with C and rhymes with litoris. There is no way I'm going to be chewing on something that resembles that in public.
I bet if I was licking on it a lot of women would be very aroused. Sort of like how guys react when they see a woman eating a banana in public.
...
So I've finally finished organizing our yearly camp trip. This year was a little bit crazy because we have a few new people and the largest camp group I've ever organized for. Thirty five unruly people all together. This is either a recipe for a lot of fun or a recipe for disaster. I hope it's the former.
I'm excited just thinking about all the bush picture opportunities I'll have!

No one beats me at my own unruly game...no one.
(Lamb - This Could Be Heaven)
Two posts in one day you say?...that's right...I'm a blogging whore and there's nothing you can do about it except stare in awe...
Actually I wanted to post again because I was at 299 posts and I hate odd numbers. Sometimes when I'm out shopping and I see things for sale for $X.99, I cringe and want to run out screaming but I refrain because I've been socially trained to not shit-disturb. Another thing that disturbs me about shopping is how some people walk down against the flow of traffic so you're forced to move out of the way for them. It's just unruly and though I'm an unruly person in general I hate it when people are unruly with me. One of these days I'm going to follow those unruly-wrong-side-walkers and wait until they have to get on an escalator and then I'll show them who's really unruly by walking in the opposite direction of the escalator...that'll teach them fuckers!
Anyhow...I'm ranting again...my real purpose for blogging again was because I promised Erin that I'd advertise for her.
erin said...
if you're not busy sunday night at 7 pm CDT, i encourage you to log on to my local alternative radio station and listen to a neat program called the adventure club. it's hosted by a college friend of mine, josh, and he's doing a cure tribute. 3 straight hours of cure and an interview with robert smith. he's promising lots of rare stuff, live stuff, and collaborations. the giveaways won't help you much though, unless you can make it to dallas. :)
Check it out everyone, one of the few good bands left from the 80's!

Here's a confession...
I'm an asocial person and I have a hard time with face-to-face social settings. I often seem reserved and aloof in person. I am absolutely horrid with small talk and I refrain from it whenever possible. However, if you catch me online or via email, you will find that I’m very personable and sociable. If we talk online with a friendly tone and I see you on the streets and merely say hi like a passing stranger, it’s not because I don’t like you but rather I'm shy and bashful. Please forgive me.
Recently two people have accused my online persona and my face-to-face persona being out of sync. Of course I denied it and pointed the finger back at them, accusing them of smoking crack, but in actuality they’re absolutely correct and I've known about it for a long time. This however only occurs with people I don't usually talk to on a consistent basis. With my good friends there isn’t much of a disparity between "online Khiem" and "in-person Khiem".
It just comes down to the comfort level I have with you as a person. If I’m at all a stranger to you in person that means I’m not comfortable with you yet. The reason I’m less shy online is because of that buffer called the internet. (Sometimes I’ve even been known to type in brackets to add another buffer level to ease the discomfort.) This internet buffer is also the reason why I’m such a consistent blogger. I can express my points of view and what’s on my mind without the discomfort of watching someone react to it face to face.
There was a time when I was far more reserved and shy even with close friends in person. That was in high school. I'm gradually coming out of my shell and hopefully somewhere down the road there won’t be much disparity with "online Khiem" and "in-person Khiem".
Don't give up on me yet.

The new Cure album is out. Has anyone listened to it yet? I’ll have to go pick it up sometime this weekend.
I’m still a bit disappointed that I can’t afford to go see the Cure in concert this August. I suppose it might be better anyhow. Robert Smith is getting a bit old and if I go see the concert and it turns out to be sub-expectation, that’ll be the last impression I’ll have of him and that great band. Everyone wants to go out on top and everyone wants only the fondest memories to look back on.
screamed at the make-believe, screamed at the sky and you finally found all your courage to let it all go

Saw Bowling for Columbine yesterday night and some of the figures in the movie are mind boggling. How is it that the US had around 1200 gun-related murders last year compared to about 1/2 of that for Canada, Britain, Australia, and Japan combined. What’s even more mind boggling and ironic is that Charleton Heston played Moses in The 10 Commandments.
Moore definitely makes a strong case against the NRA and the US media. This is a must see for all the supporters of stricter gun control in our society.

I see subtitles in everything that passes by...
(Emiliana Torrini - If You Go Away)
Ever wake up in the middle of the night and be so thirsty that you have to get out of bed, walk down a flight of stairs to the kitchen and grab a glass of water? That's how I felt just a few minutes ago...when I was thirsty...so I got out of bed and walked down the stairs to get a drink of water. I wasn't sleeping though.
When I opened the fridge I couldn't help but notice a big bowl of cherries. I'm allergic to cherries; they make my mouth itch. So of course the most logical thing for me to do was to try a cherry. Who knows, maybe my allergies somehow magically disappeared.
They didn't and I'm a retard. The inside of my mouth is sooo itchy right now that I wished I hadn't clip all my fingernails so I could reach inside and scratch it.
...
If you wish upon a falling tree and it falls in the woods too far for you to hear, does it make a sound? Cuz if it did I bet it told the other trees what you wished for and then your wish wouldn't come true.
...
I just watched the Last Samurai tonight and I've come to realize 2 things: Japanese people are very quiet; and they carry a big fucken sharp stick.
Now I'm torn between becoming a Ninja and a Samurai when I grow up. Maybe I can be both. I could be the first Ninjurai!

Ever wake up in the middle of the night and be so thirsty that you have to get out of bed, walk down a flight of stairs to the kitchen and grab a glass of water?
