Am I Maturing? (Confused_Dept.)


With my exams finally out of the way I am now free for the next 3 weeks. I am feeling something new all of a sudden. I am for some reason feeling down. I am beginning to realise that this is the first 3 weeks where I will be away from my family and have nothing to do at all. Our floor is going to be pretty much empty and literally the only social person left on my floor is me! I then began to wonder what I used to do back home when I was alone. I remembered that I used to talk to my best friend Hussain back home, but then again he is now hundreds of miles away and last I remember International Calls were still not free. It seems that its snowing forever and thats quite depressing too. Am I actually maturing that I now have feeling for other people besides myself. I hope now...cause then that brings an end to having my way at everything....

Strange Things Happened To Me Today (Confused_Dept)

A lot of odd things happened to me during the early hours of the day. My black sneakers turned white, my facial hair started falling off and became white in some parts. I felt like I was ear-less (I don't really know if there is a word like that, so mind my English you British snobs). My visibility decreased to a few feet even though my eyes were the same. The roads and paths seemed deserted. The building all seemed to fade away. And most frightening of all I began to skate without skates.

Let me explain. I didn't think waking up and looking out the window like I normally do would be a good idea today. I was wrong. If I had, this post wouldn't exist along with the rest of the universe (actually maybe the rest of the universe would exist, not really sure, I'll ask my Physics professor and let you know the probability of that happening). It wasn't exactly snowing outside, but more of something where you take a massive bucket of snow (with infinite depth, and the size of Alberta) and suddenly invert it so that the snow falls out. That's how it was. My sneakers - which were black - turned white by the time I reached my classes. Not to mention so did the bottom one foot of my body as the snow was so deep. Even with my toque on, my face was frozen, so when I touched my face inside, some of my facial hair still frozen snapped. Then I almost thought I had lost my ears somewhere outside in the snow. I was calmed down when the mirror in the washroom proved otherwise. The snow was falling so fast that I literally couldn't see the guy walking in front of me until I bumped into him, which caused him to start rolling and form a big rolling snow ball like they show in the cartoons (now the Myth Busters on Discovery Channel wont have to prove that). Lastly I began to skate as the ice formed was too slippery for my sneakers.

Anyways I have to end this post abruptly as I have a class to go!

Google Video on my blog! (Blog_Configuration_Dept.)

So I decided to test whether I could integrate Google Video with my blog. I made the mistake of putting the code directly in one of my posts. Not only did that not let me view any of my other posts on the main page, but it also didnt allow me to delete the post. I was left with no choice but to think harder and put off my plans for robbing a bank till later. I thought and I thought till I came up with the idea of pop-ups. So here are a few interesting videos I found on Google Video. To view them you might have to disable your pop-up blocker though:

A really funny cartoon called 'Robot Chicken'
Robot Chicken 11 minutes 20 seconds

One of comedian Mitch Hedberg's last televised stand ups. Funny, on David Letterman 's Show
Comedian Mitch Hedberg Stand up 5 minutes 9 seconds

The TV comedy Seinfeld did a cute 'laws of physics' explanation in regard to the JFK assasination with a twist involving spitting and a NY Yankess star.
Physics in everyday life - Seinfield 3 minutes 37 seconds

The Day I Flew! (Scared_out_of_my_pants_Dept)

It seemed like a normal day. I woke up, brushed my teeth, had some breakfast and then wore a jacket and a pair of gloves and left Lister. Little did I know that I would require a block of lead to hold me down. It seemed that I was rising. I meet a few birds on the way. Their faces were frostbitten unfortunately. It was a sensation I've never felt before. Then I realised that I must have struck a cord with someone up there, and I was going to meet Him. Once again I was mistaken. It was just the incredibly powerful winds that were pulling me up, up an away. I wonder where the university buildings went. I would expect them to block the winds...but then once again, I was mistaken...

P.S. The image above was taken by my Konica-Minolta Camera during my flight. At least now I know that my camera will work at all altitudes.
