1 Week Away

2005-02-07T17:01:00.000-08:00

That's right, next monday marks the triumphant return of 'The Sharp Hint Of New Tears', my 1-man tribute to Dashboard Confessional.

It's a valentine's day show, but it's more for the lonely people, who hate the holiday and don't like how everyone else is 'going out for dinner' or 'maybe seeing a movie' or 'getting extravagant gifts'. If we share our lonliness, we're never truly alone.

Also, I think I'll be opening for Khaki Snack instead of the other way around.

yo, team HHW's site says they're going to cocamo tonight. that's too bad. i was really hoping to talk to julie hirst about some stuff, because i think she has some really good ideas about services, but also because i think she's wicked cute. and i'd like to get to know dave homuth on a more personal level because he seems pretty personable. and i know things have been rough for pat welsh lately, and i want him to know that i care.

but i made a pact (with myself really) to never go back to the cocamo after this one night where me & tom woodhall (our campaign manager, clark hall's business manager and pretty much my best friend) got in this fight with like 9 other guys.

and it all started because we were looking for our friend's jacket and i said "oh, here's mine" and this caveman-looking guy said "yo, i was wearing your jacket." and that wouldn't have meant anything to me, but i think this guy knew about the 'rule' about 1st years not wearing engineering GPAs or whatever, so I says "Pardon?!" and he's all "yeah, i was wearing your jacket!" and tom's all "that's not cool" (honestly, that's all we did) and the guy stands up and proclaims "these guys want to start something!" so next thing i know this caveman-guy punches me in the face and jumps on top of me, with another of his clown friends getting shots in. 3 other guys jump tom, and i'm trying to keep the 2 goons at bay while kicking away 2 other freaks with my feet (i was pushed with my back on the bench, kicking & head-locking for life). the bouncers came and cleared things out (obviously on our side of the matter) and tried to settle things down.

but, for our efforts in fighting off drunken, ugly, belligerent idiots, if you ever see me or Tom working at Clark, it says "The Real Deal" on our backs, in reference to our likeness to Evander Holyfield that night. Ever since they've called me 'The Champ'... but not really.

I guess i can catch up with the HHW guys when they come to ritual @ 2.30 to reach out to the Engineer's vote. I'll be there (I always am) and Derek will be the DJ.

I'm also a DJ there and i start to get shaky and nervous if I stray away from the DJ booth for too long. I like to get my input in as to what song is being played (I may be a little of a control freak that way) so if you're looking for me, that's where I'll be. But really, I feel so comfortable back there. As the most senior DJ now at Clark, it's my duty to mark that as my territory and make sure that it's always represented well, and taken care of. And, at this point, i don't really trust many of the other DJs to do that. Especially Burpee. But ESPECIALLY Matt Temple!

been spendin' most our nights...

derek made a good comment about dave's spelling. As the grade 8 spelling champion at Glen Dhu Public School in Whitby ON, i personally feel offended by it.

also, i'm thirsty now. i'll check out what's in my fridge. ok, i got some soda, OJ, some purple stuff, Sunny D... SUNNY D! Yeah!!!

the show was fun last night, but it's always better to at least have 1 opening band. next week, that opening band will be a Barber Shop Quartet. and then the monday after that marks the return of my "dashboard tribute band" 'the sharp hint of new tears', cause it's valentine's day, and i'm the only single guy in the band. i've always been single on valentine's day... except for once, and that didn't end well at all.

lastly, 2 song lyrics stick out in my mind this week. from 'Pardon Me' by Incubus "a decade ago, i never thought i would be 23 on the verge of spontaneous combustion, woe is me" and from 'gangsta's paradise' by coolio "i'm 23 never will i live to see 24 the way things is goin' i don't know" it seems that a lot of people get famous by the time they're 23, or they don't get famous at all. i really hope i never turn 23.

somebody tore down my favourite sign in the Jduc "this use to hold a pizza now it hold a dream.."

So me thinkey.... you know what would be really cool... if the UBS sold PRODUCE.... i mean have you been to the A+P lately... i mean 2.50 for romaine.. that is insane (no rhyme intended... but happy about it none the less) Why doesn't the UBS sell produce... i mean we could put a rack in right beside the books, clothing, ticketmaster, used cds, new cds and reading room sections that all fit in so perfectly. I mean... when a store has no clear concept... the key to fixing it is giving more and more expensive concepts to pretend to adapt... that way we can justify its existance... because we will be the first school in canada to have a place where we can buy radishes by students for students....

also i watched "Platoon" last night. It was pritty cool overal because i'm taking this cold war class so it sort of ties in. but i guess the problem was that everyone said it was SO AMAZING... and when i watched it i was kind of like... what.... is this part supposed to be deep or something??? Also i went out to east sides with derek and chris for dinner. Man, i ate so much salad i took pritty much most of my entree home with me... which will be lunch tomorow. i sort of felt bad, cause i think our waitress knew that was our scam... also i only tipped her 2.50 and the bill was like 17..... i mean i know that should be enough but it was on interac... and after you enter the tip on those things (when they're watching no less....) you feel pritty guilty for whatever you give... i think its cause they don't need to be nice to you anyomore... kind of crumby if you ask me...

also triples of jack and coke at QP cost 13 dollars for anyone who orders them besides provan and i...
in the future that might change...
the future COULD BE... NOW
also i wish derek would let me and provan sign the real site damnit

Stories From the Campaign Trail.....

2005-01-27T14:58:00.000-08:00

Today i was meeting some new friends in the J-Duc, when this girl, Sally Haders, came up to me with a concern. "You See Dave," she said to me, "I'm a student from a lower middle class family, struggling to get through university. I appreciate all the sacrafices my parents are making for me, but some times its just not enough." I sighed, and told her how i understood her situation, and it was at that moment she took a sip of her coffee from the common ground. She said to me, "Oh no... its gotten cold, and I, being from a lower middle class background am not sure if i should purchase another." I put my arm around her, and together we looked at the poorly insulated paper cup and said....."WHY???"

Together, Sally, we can make a difference

Also....you know... it wasn't until second year that i really got that the Angela/Tony sexual tension was the driving force behind Who's the Boss. I mean i always just thought it was based on Tony Danza being funny and Italian. BUT ITS NOT...
Also, In the pilot the golden girls had a gay live in cook named COCO....its awesome...

Debate tonight

2005-01-27T13:47:00.000-08:00

So, we're going to AMS assembly tonight. I think the people there are going to ask us some questions, and with 6 teams it may take a while. I'm a little nervous because I've never been to AMS assembly before.
Do they serve punch & pie there? I hope so.

I might be feeling like a fish out of water. The next best analogy I can think of for that would be the old Saturday Night Live sketch "Un-Frozen Caveman Lawyer". If you don't remember it, Phil Hartman was a caveman, that got unfrozen... well I guess the title kinda tells the background pretty well. But if it didn't, the theme song said "He used to be a caveman/ but now he's a lawyer / Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer!" But he ended up being a pretty good lawyer.

I didn't think he'd be that great, but I dont' mind him as new late late show host. Kilborn had some great moments, but it was all Gibby and Goldie holding it down.

another idea

okay, imagine you're in the jduc, and you're like "Woah, my hair needs a trim, and I have to make dinner. Also, I haven't had any protein today so I should consider eating meat, which is a source of protein" What would you do?!
Imagine a place called Tony's Cuts. Half deli, have barbershop. The head barber is also the head butcher! Feasibility aside, it would be sort of cool.

Vision. Accountability. Representation. It’s all crap. And so are you.

Hi! We’re Team Khaki Snack. A lot of teams in the past have made a lot of promises that either didn’t happen, or just plain old sucked. But I’ll tell you what doesn’t suck: Reality TV! This new craze is about to sweep the nation, and Team Khaki Snack (a.k.a. Team BMP) wants to get the AMS in on the ground floor- literally! Yup, we want to put cameras EVERYWHERE in the AMS offices. Maybe even our homes. The fact that no one has suggested this is the past has got to make you think: What were they trying to hide from you???

Moving right along, you know what Alfie’s needs? Us to throw more money into it, of course. Also, a name more fitting of its ‘hole-in-the-ground’ status. Like Alfie’s Bombshelter. Or WOW COUCHES WOW!! Or Molson’s presents Alfie’s Molsonotorium…in partnership with Bombay Sapphire…but mostly Molson.

Do you jog? Have you never used Walkhome? Then you’re sort of like us! I bet the reason for this is because Walkhome needs to be overhauled, and renamed Joghome. Our services need to be able to keep up with today’s fast paced student lifestyle. And also, I want to start jogging but can’t find anyone to do it with.

Queen’s needs a Barber Shop quartet singing telegram service.

If elected, Team Khaki Snack will release a book of epic proportions entitled “Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about the AMS but were too indifferent to ask” It’ll have a special “Where are they now?” section. For instance, did you know that Former AMS president Mike Lindsay later spent his summer working for The Haunted Walk of Kingston?

Reduce. Re-use. Recycle. You’ve got three R’s. NOW USE THEM!

Vote Burpee Messer Provan!

Prepare for your impending doom
