Went surfing yesterday in the afternoon. Forgot how salty the ocean is and spent most of my time spitting. Drank wayyyyy too much at night and launched a snoopy soccer ball a good 200-300 metres with a medical tubing catapult a la Malcolm in the Middle. I'm paying for it today. Rock n' Roll, pay the toll.
@ Shadowbrand. Canada blows. Leave at the first opportunity. Under 30 you can get working holiday visas for up to 18 months to Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and the UK. I think the criteria are being under 30, having a passport, having graduated high school and having $5000 in the bank to sustain your initial move. The world is a big fething place, a lot better than whatever podunk donut shop emporium town you live in. Trust me, I know. Drumheller, dude (aka 'Murderhell'). The desert in Alberta, dude. You can't even get radio stations in the valley. The big industry is the penitentiary.Everyone whacked out on meth. Japan, hot girls everywhere. Australia was awesome when I was there. The UK is close to Amsterdam.
It's a serious bidness stepping out your front door.
Some of us happen to be from Canada. Its not my favourite country in the world, but I would hardly say that it "blows." On the whole I'm much happier here than I was in Qatar.
Having said that, its important to get out and see the world. For the time being, however, I'll just visit.
On a related note, I'm heading to Scottland on Tuesday. Should be a good time. I'm going to see Gogol Bordello while I'm there.

When human beings are governed by "thou shalt not", the individual can practise a certain amount of eccentricity: when they are supposedly governed by "love" or "reason", he is under continuous pressure to make him behave and think in exactly the same way as everyone else.

It's Qatar, mate. Qatar.
I've lived there (and Dubai in the U.A.E., guess which was better). Please don't even mention that country in the same breath as Australia or Canada.

I would heartily say that it "blows."

Absolutely. Visiting is OK for awhile, but then, well for me anyways, you hit your 20s and it's time for life long protracted adventure. To each their own. I gave Mr.Shadowbrand some advice to augment that which the man on the silver mountain inside of his head is already giving him: Leave. Do it soon, or you'll get sucked into the great Canuckistani-Maple Syrup-double-double-$20-for-a-pack-of-smokes-living-for-your-6/49-numbers-snow-on-your-graduation-day-psychic-vampirical abyss forever. He wants to be free. And free he should be.

Don't take my rant about Canadurr too seriously. I don't totally hate the place. I still have enough patriotic fibre to cheer for the hockey teams at the international level and for whatever team that is playing the Habs. I even still spell "centre" correctly.

Personally I'm fine with Canada. But, once I graduate high school I'm going to move to New Zealand for 6 months where I have lots of relatives. But maybe Shadowbrand would enjoy Canada more if he was living in place like
Kamloops where there's already somewhat of an established "metal" base and there seems to be quite a few people he knows here, as well. In my opinion I find Canadian cities such as Victoria and Ottawa to be great places to
have fun (I hate Vancouver, most large cities and the prairies though). Then again Shadow did say he's fan of Black Metal so maybe he would be better off at a place like Norway.
Holy gak, if this is just based on what kind of music you like than I'm moving to Manchester.
Even though certain important musicians from said area might have killed themselves a little bit *glares at Ian Curtis*

I'm failing math. Again. This semester's beginning I was doing really good, doing my homework, studying at home, going to tutoring before they cancelled it,
asking question when I didn't understand stuff, taking notes whenever the teacher was actually doing her job.
My grade was a decent C because of this.
But one. Fething. Test. Worth an unreasonable amount of goddamed points took my entire grade down to an F. And not an F that you can easily recover from.
An F that stands for "Feth me in the ass sideways." So I now have 29 school days to work my ass off and get it to a D and hope the teacher takes pity on me an bumps it to a C-,
else I get to repeat the course.
I barely even learned anything in this class anyway.
It's fourty-five minutes long, and the teacher spends the first fifteen going over warmup problems, another fifteen on the previous nights homework, and then ten on teaching us the next lesson, before
she gives us five minutes in class to work on this nights homework.
The past few years I was always able to pull my stuff together and get up to a a few points below a B on my own, but this year, I'm fethed.

Sounds bad, man. I'm in my last two years of school (we call it 'college' here for some daft reason) and math is entirely optional. I dropped it, but the numbers keep coming back to haunt me in Computer Science. 0's and 1's, man, 0's and 1's.
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
Star testing for freshmen up to junior today. some seniors went to vulenteer at at the elemtery school. me ans some guys got put in the special ed classes. BOY. it takes a special type of patiance to teach special ed kids. glad i was able to give the teachers a break.

Agreed. Like anywhere, Canada is a great place to live if you're in a good spot. Kamloops is glorious - Hot desert summers, lots to do in the city, just enough rain in the spring, winters aren't too cold, A well-known ski resort, 10 golf courses, and 2 good camping resorts within city limits, and more lakes than you can shake a soggy money at. Victoria is my second choice for residence as well. I've been there 5 or 6 times and I absolutely love it. The best part of it is walking through all the narrow, cobbled pedestrian streets between blocks and finding all the cool hidden stores tucked away from view. Kamloops is my first love though. It'd take a lot to uproot me from it.
On the other hand, I've been to Drumheller and yea, it is poo. I can see where Khornholio's apathy in regards to Canada comes from if that's where he grew up. I would say that the country far from 'blows' though. It's definately one of the better places to be on this earth.

Well my ancestors came from norway, just 50 years ago actually my family left during the nazi occupation.
However my uncle was drafted, we have his Iron Cross laying around somewhere.
Bit OT I realize but this is the OT forum anyways my logic is maybe if I get to see where I came from I might know where im going. I am so very lost in my life.
I've sold so many armies. :(

I would drop math in a heartbeat and never think twice about it. I'm taking a SAt math prep course to try and get my math creds outta the way as quick as possible though.
Also, chicks need to stop being so hot. It really feths my s**t up knowing so many hot chicks tbh. Just for a day be ugly, is that so hard to ask?
