If I were to have one, it'd be some sorta telekinesis thing. The same power that Matt Parker from Heroes has -- except better. It'd be my kinda thing to be able to control things with my brain. I'd be able to control people's minds by putting thoughts into them and making them see things. On top of that I'd be able to move objects with my mind. Wouldn't that be something? I wouldn't mind at all if I had to start of weaksauce and train myself up; it'd be worth every moment of training.
Sorry I'm watching Heroes and Naruto too much. But hey, a kid can dream right?
SUPERPOWERS!

The Older I Get
The more you learn, the less you know; does that not sound crazy or what? You learn something new everyday; the older you get, the more you learn, but does that mean you know more? Two concecutive uses of semi-colons! Alright, I am so acing my next essay =D
When I was watching some videos today, I realized something. As life progresses, the more you learn from all the experiences you gain, the less you actually know. Do you see what I'm getting at? Everytime you learn something new that you find interesting, it just opens up more questions about that certain thing or other things. Kind of like the show Heroes. Yes, I am promoting that show right now. I'll admit the second season was not nearly as good as the first season, but hey, it's the sophomore jynx right? The third season has been running for a month or so now, and I have to say that the writers for this show are absolute genius'. Each show you watch, you're left hanging and you just have a billion questions about what is going on and what will happen next. That is exactly what I'm trying to get at here! I don't want to spoil anything here but everytime they reveal something, you are so amazed and you are left with so many questions that branched from one event. It's just amazing.. both the show and the concept.
So here's to never stop learning, simply because it's impossible. Even the extremist who chooses to set their minds focuses on not learning anything. By doing that, they learn about themself that they are able to live without learning, and then they learn that it is impossible to not learn. By this, they will know that they can't seem to not learn and this will cause them to spring many questions and alternatives to what they could maybe achieve or attempt to achieve from this experience.
Don't stop wiggle, wiggle.

Work Ethic
Well, I haven't had a rant type of thing in a while and I believe I have to end that streak now. I normally do not like to worry or be negative about things, but I just feel like helping myself make a bit of a declaration to make a change in my life that is needed.
Ever since grade 7, my need to do homework or study had gone down so much that my work ethic dissolved into nothingness. Throughout junior high, I barely needed to study, even for the bigger exams. I was able to get by with my common sense coming out with pretty good marks at the end of grade 9. I think that if I had to guess how much time I spent studying in all three years of junior high, it would have to amount to about four or five hours of productive studying - no more. Then grade 10 came, a new chapter, a new world. I was still able to not do much work to finish the year with honors. There were signs though that the lack of working would eventually take it's toll and catch up to me making me pay for my laziness. And finally, in grade 11, I took heavy, heavy drops in my grades because I simply did not do homework or study. My marks dropped at such a fast rate that I could not even believe that I was getting these marks. There was no hiding it. My parents wanted me to do good, they even gave me incentives to work; The standards that I were to meet kept getting lower and lower but I still could not get them.
Then grade 12 started and that is when I hit my low with these things called grades. I was fortunate enough to recover by the end of the year to get an average very close to honors but my lack of working was still evident. It has been something that I am constantly being reminded of and something I have been trying to correct for a very long time. The laziness I have developed has turned into my biggest weakness as a person. I am so lucky that this weakness of mine doesn't affect anyone other than me. Then again, it disappoints my parents to have to see me doing nothing all day and could possibly give them a sense that I just don't want to try, which is not the case at all. I mean, everyone has something that they need improvements in. It's very obvious that someone is only as strong as their weakest point. The thing with me is that my laziness is so strong in me, I could have the biggest determination in the world and still end up doing no more than a math assignment or two. It bothers me daily and I wish very much that I can fix this problem of mine, but as of right now, it just isn't working. Building up over six years of my life, it isn't something that will just happen overnight where I wake up the next day and have the world of a work ethic.
I believe I have the right mindset because I always wake up everyday looking forward to what the day gives me and how I respond to things. The only problem is executing. I am just absolutely horrible at it. I would tell people that I need to go home to do homework or to study with good intentions. But when I get home, everything falls apart and I am found doing something else. I wake up, go to school, come home, play some guitar, go on my laptop, watch TV, go on the laptop, play guitar, eat supper, go on laptop, play some guitar, and finally go to sleep. That is what most of my days look like with an odd occassion of an hour or so to finish an assignment. I am getting owned for my lack of studying; homework gets finished for sure, but barely.
I guess all I can do is just keep with my mindset and have patience with myself. Six years of my young life seems like alot, but like I said, I am still young and to be able to change myself comes alot easier now than 20 or 30 years down the road. I am still positive with myself to set goals each morning to get a certain amount finished. Of course, I finish each day disappointed that I have done next to nothing, but I believe that, like everything else, each day my determination will grow stronger and stronger and I am sure I will eventually be able to break this habit of laziness because that's just the way life works.
"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" - the Great One. Everyone should have heard this before. So if you may have similar situations that I face, I encourage you to, no matter how hopeless it seems, to keep your attention in the right place and to be determined for change. It is better for you to atleast give it a shot than to do nothing at all but whine, because when you tell your mind to try, you create chance for success no matter how small it is.
Now let's see what happens with my math midterm tomorrow.

Guitaring
So uhh, (how many have my posts started like that, haha) I'd been granted permission by Andrea to join in her PT practice this past saturday to play a bit of guitar. Now for those of you that don't know, I don't own an amp because it is too expensive; I do not own one of those adaptor things to plug my earphones in either. With this lack of resourse, I cannot practice guitar on a regular basis-electric guitar, that is. The only time I do get to play with my electric is once every three weeks for an hour or so during practice at church. Whenever I do get to play though, I have to sing as well.. Yeah that's right, I sing, not very good at it but I do indeed sing.
Being able to join in on practice was pretty cool I think. I got to just play guitar and not have to think about singing. When I was heading over to church, I told myself "I can finally have a chance to just make music with the guitar, see how much I've improved." Playing today alongside Jonny and Deryk was pretty cool. It definitely brought back the times before I actually led a worship team of just being able to focus on guitar. When I started playing, I said to myself, "wow, I've gotten so much better without even practicing for ages!" I was pretty excited for sure. It's pretty cool how knowledge of music can translate into sweet new things on the guitar for me. A weird thing about me is that everytime I learn something new about music, whether that be a chord, a progression, a sequence, or whatever, I am able to see a whole load of stuff I can apply it to on either songs, piano or guitar. I don't know, I look forward to the next coolest thing I learn on the guitar.. Maybe some different patches and stuff
My passion for the guitar has been renewed, the joy I get from it is like none before, I feel like learning guitar songs, and definitely look forward to my next guitar jam session with whoever... Guess what? I seem to have forgotten what I wanted to say again. Thank you msn for distracting me while I'm trying to blog! But while one thought was lost, another has risen.
These are the guitar products I am currently saving up for:
Line 6 POD X3 Live
A good chunk of durable picks (100 or so)
The POD X3 Live is rather expensive... So that's stab me in the chest pretty hard when I save enough money and buy it.
Keep on rockin' to it. Please don't stop the music.

Childlike Wildlife
I cannot put enough stress on how important someone's childhood is. I don't even know if anyone cares enough to remember what their childhood was like. My childhood is amongst my top values in my own life. When you think back to being a kid, what do you see? For me, I see a few things that stand out right away. As a child, you are pure, innocent, clean, and to an extent oblivious. When I was a kid, still am in a way but not for long, I was very free, I didn't worry about life itself, I didn't have all these stresses that an adult life can bring. Life was very adventurous, each day brings a new and refreshing experience as you begin to build your life of morals and beliefs and values. I personally think you learn more in the first chunk of your life than you do the rest of it combined. Some may agree, some might not, that's fine. A child's life is so precious because these first ten or so years of a life defines what the person is like for much of the years ahead of him/her. If a child is raised a certain way, it only makes sense that the child has that type of a personality unless something drastic happens.
Where I'm going with this, is that I heavily encourage people that even though we grow older, as we mature, we should keep the child-like spirit of freedom and adventure no matter where we go. "Staying young at heart" is a term thats probably more commonly used to describe this. Umm, I'm not sure how someone may view this topic, but to me, it's how I can stay so "free" and relaxed all the time.
There was a couple times where I got asked how I would be able to keep up with this persistance and blog or write so often about so many things. This question ultimately lead me to typing this blog entry, yay. But I often tell people that it's about where you choose to put your attention. As life gets older, things become more routine-like; meaning you wake up, go to school/work, work your butt off, go home and go to sleep and repeat. Doesn't this bore you? Then you could probably ask, "then how do you keep it fresh?" Like I said, it's about what you choose to look at. This is where the child's mind comes into play.
You live each day as if you're starting a new life, then you go out and wait for things to come your way. It's not hard, you just have to look in the right places. Even if it means, daydreaming in class, you shouldn't let your mind prevent you from having a good time. Just let loose once in a while. Sometimes you just feel like dancing, singing, jumping.. but then your mind suddenly comes and tells you "hey man, that's not cool, people will think you're weird." It may not be that extreme but you should just let it happen. It allows you to be so much more freer in a sense that you experience something new everyday. By allowing things to just happen, you come into contact with so much more and you kinda just feed off of that. Let the environment around you influence you, then you'll be filled with thoughts and all that kind of cool things. Dwelling amongst the world is a pretty fun thing once you get used to it, if you ask me.
A big reason why people will stress or worry is because they let it get into their mind's way. Just take each task one at a time, sit down, work at it, and when you're finished, you can just slap it in the face and be like "done with you." Then move on.
... And my train of thought dies. If you've read everything up to right now, I wouldn't be surprised if you are confused out of your mind. I pretty much just sat here and wrote for the past half an hour; I know it isn't alot but you have to take into account the distractions of msn. So I mentioned a few things about a child's free mind in there and that's what I did. Something inspired me today and I decided that I'm gonna let this topic into my head, then I'm just going to write about it until my thoughts end. As for the meanings of this, I'll let whoever stumbles upon it to interpret it in whatever way you want, whether that be inspiration or just insightful knowledge. Afterall, it wouldn't be cool if I tried to indoctrinate people into living the loser-ish life that I live right? =D But ultimately, what I'm trying to say is that we should keep a childish side to us.. One that's slightly foolish, daring, adventurous; this keeps things new in life. This is how I get my inspiration to make the creations in my contemplation indoctrination, a beautiful fixation as you find yourself surrounded by His love and mercy. Try it. It's worth every moment.
Much thanks to Jason Mraz and the comfort of God's grace as my top inspiration to live high and righteously

Edmonton Oilers 2008-2009 Season [Predictions]
As I am a loser, I have a guilty pleasure of predicting hockey stats and stuff to such a detail that it's pretty sad. Here are some predictions for the Oilers 08-09 season that I have somehow come up with. Don't ask me why the specific number, it's just the most logical one I can come up with in my head. As I am such an optimist for the team, especially after the win tonight, I will definitely over predict on some stats. Here goes nothing...
Edmonton Oilers record(82 game season):
45-30-7 [97 points] 6th in the West
Edmonton Oilers player statistics(prorated for 82 games): [Goals-Assists-Points]
Ales Hemsky: 24-61-85
Shawn Horcoff: 27-46-73
Sam Gagner: 20-40-60
Erik Cole: 25-32-57
Lubomir Visnovsky: 13-42-55
Dustin Penner: 26-26-52
Andrew Cogliano: 21-29-50
Robert Nilsson: 15-35-50
Sheldon Souray: 15-32-47
Tom Gilbert: 14-31-45
Fernando Pisani: 16-20-36
Kyle Brodziak: 15-18-33
Ethan Moreau: 14-17-31
Denis Grebeshkov: 9-20-29
Marc Pouliot: 8-15-23
Zach Stortini: 5-10-15
Jason Strudwick: 2-8-10
Ladislav Smid: 1-5-6
Steve MacIntyre: 1-3-4
**Rob Schremp: 4-9-13
**Gilbert Brule: 5-7-12
**Theo Peckham: 0-3-3
**Taylor Chorney: 1-2-3
** If the three prospects do get called up, which is pretty likely and play a bunch of games based on their given circumstances, that is how many points I'll expect them to get at the very most.
So ultimately, I think my predictions are within a reasonable range. This being said, it is assumed that each player improves on what they accomplished last year, which is expected. I think it's pretty obvious that something could happen and my predictions be absolutely balogne, but nonetheless, this would be the ideal point projection assuming our team can live up to our potential which is also expected. So I hope some of our players can totally prove me wrong and do much better than what I hope.
Here's to many, many Oiler victories this upcoming season!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Sea of Faces
So for anyone who is currently or have attended a post secondary institution, you would know what the environment is like. Especially some of the larger ones with a population of a town, it can be quite intimidating. I find it amazing how even though there's so many people at a university, each one of these faces are after a goal of some sort and carry out their own individual path during their time in that college. At the time it seems that you alone is so insignificant and don't really mean a thing. The way the system works hints at that as well. To professors, you are nothing more than a number. You spend so much more time alone or with significantly smaller groups. You're just another face. And when you think about it, a few of these faces you see on a daily basis will go on and could quite possibly make it big and become more well known somewhere down the road. Thanks Ryan for your "people" post, it inspired me to do some of that as well and end up writing about it, haha. As much of my time is spent alone at the university (what a loser, eh?), I don't do it directly, but I take note of alot of people and what they do. I came to wonder what is running through each and every one of these people that I come across?
I've noticed that theres a certain population that work in pairs. It is always a guy and a girl. Of course you would see the couples who are dating, then there are those guys who always have a girl with them and vice versa. Alot of the time, the two of them seem like they are sidekicks and all that stuff, like they're so happy they know each other, even if they're not dating. There's also those people that I see who are obviously alone at the moment. Most of the time they would have a phone out trying to text someone or something like that, which means they have pretty big connections or friends that are just not with them at the moment. I sometimes wonder to myself, are they really talking to their friends? Or are they just trying to act cool and do the finger movements to make it look like they're so busy? These are two of many personalities I've come across here at the University of Alberta. I believe the university is a wonderful place for some humbling. Teaching that the world definitely does not revolve around you and that the world is actually so big. Forget that "it's a small world cliche."
As most of these people are probably busy as heck, I wonder if any of them actually come to contemplating the university life. I could probably go up to people and ask them what it feels like to be just another face on the campus and I'd get a huge range of answers. Some would say they never even think about it because they have no time, while others would just say something along the lines of it being sweet and enjoying the new life and all that jazz. But I wonder if I would get any responses that would include wondering what goes on with other people at the campus. Stuff about what they are thinking about, how stressed they are, how their life is at the moment, etc.
I feel like such a nerd for living such a "mystical" life, haha. I very rarely stress, not busy at all, think about life alot, and a bunch of other cheesy stuff. Well what can I say? I'm just one insignificant face out of a million doing my own thing and living my own life (=

These are two of many personalities I've come across here at the University of Alberta. I believe the university is a wonderful place for some humbling. Teaching that the world definitely does not revolve around you and that the world is actually so big. Forget that "it's a small world cliche."
As most of these people are probably busy as heck, I wonder if any of them actually come to contemplating the university life. I could probably go up to people and ask them what it feels like to be just another face on the campus and I'd get a huge range of answers. Some would say they never even think about it because they have no time, while others would just say something along the lines of it being sweet and enjoying the new life and all that jazz. But I wonder if I would get any responses that would include wondering what goes on with other people at the campus. Stuff about what they are thinking about, how stressed they are, how their life is at the moment, etc.
I feel like such a nerd for living such a "mystical" life, haha. I very rarely stress, not busy at all, think about life alot, and a bunch of other cheesy stuff. Well what can I say? I'm just one insignificant face out of a million doing my own thing and living my own life (=

Newly Untitled
I called the title of this entry 'newly untitled' because there isn't anything specific that I want to mention this time around. Actually, what prompt me to write another entry was actually that the second day of October is almost over and I wanted to give a go at my outlook on October as well as other things that come into mind, hence the 'newly'.
So it's the second day of October, my first couple days have been pretty decent actually. School is slowly getting better for me in terms of getting used to the environment and the people. The second day of October also counts down to one day closer to the start of the new NHL season. The beginning of October also brings the MLB playoffs to begin which means the season is finally coming to a close so it can move it's butt aside for hockey in the sports channels. The beginnning of October also brings those dreadful exams that university students stress themselves over. The beginning of October brings the change in weather to a more obviously colder state, usually. The beginning of October brings a month that people usually settle into their roles for the upcoming school year.
So there's alot of 'new' happening starting in October as you can see. October is usually a pretty underrated month for myself. I usually overlook October and especially November because I just want to get to Christmas break. But I think I realize the importance of October now.
The only thing 'interesting' I think I have done as of late is that my sister stole a Mr. Bean DVD from one of her friends and I've watched a bit of that. Let me just say that Mr. Bean can take the simplest things in a daily life and turn it into such an entertaining video that's barely 10 minutes long. Mr. Bean is awesome. I think my personal favorite might be the one where he goes to the swimming pool and goes off the diving board in the best way ever. I'm sure most people have watched Mr. Bean before and have had some laughs. Good on Rowan Atkinson (=
What's with the stupidly warm weather lately?! Well, it's not freezing cold so I shouldn't be complaining. But at this rate, the world's gonna die from global warming =D
