Songs to burn my bridges by

Not quite, but I do suddenly feel quite alone. Today shortly after Mother left I realized that I was at this point, possibly more alone than I had ever been before. This feeling, being predominantly due to my newly acquired status as “adult.”
I don’t like being alone. Maija, and I think Rochelle and Bethany are coming over tonight. Good vibrations :)
(Thank you Beach Boys.)
I decided this morning that I need to get my hands on the new Project 86 CD – “Songs to Burn Your Bridges By.” The song “Spy Hunter” is one of the most kickass songs I have ever heard. I love anything kickass.
Speaking of ass, I’ll tell you what sucks ass. DJ Tiesto – considered by many to be the greatest DJ in the world – is in Toronto on June 10th. I will be in Huntsville shooting Burwash Prison. Boo :(
And just to rub it in… Finger Eleven, and Zao will also be here. Just the time to be out of town. For shame. For bloody shame.

Man… too long.
So my birthday was very cool. I had a good time. My devious friends flew Rochelle up from Georgia as a surprise. Man… hehe, I was so confused. You know when you walk into a room, and someone is there, and you know that person isn’t normally around, and so you don’t really understand what they’re doing here. Yeah, like that. It’s been cool though. Unfortunately, I’ve been super busy with stuff up until now, so I haven’t been able to devote my full attention to the newly arrived friend, and other friends in general.
Things – Dad left today for Europe, Asia, and Oceania. He’s gone for 5 weeks, and will be meeting people in various countries to arrange for the world tour of In The Shadow of Death. Mummy-dearest leaves tomorrow to join him, but she’ll only be gone 2 weeks.
Other things – I’m now 18. I don’t feel a whole lot different – but I did note in the mirror the other day that my shoulders looked a little wider. Hehe. Sweet. Otherwise, I think John Mayer summed it up when he said, “There’s no such thing as the real world.” I’ve been out of school and working for almost a year now. I’m having more fun than I ever did in high-school, and am enjoying everything about life quite a bit more. Perhaps marriage and children are the so-called “real-world.” I honestly don’t know. We’ll see.
Today I went to Centre Island with some good friends. Had fun. Nuff fun. Then we retreated to Mike’s place and watched Big Fish. I love it. I bought it. It was a good day.
Long Weekend

‘Twas Victoria Day on Monday in Canada, as most of you will know. I spent the weekend out in Kingston with some sweet friends. There was like 7 or 8 of us, so good times were had by most… hehe, probably not all, but certainly most.
Highlights… we played a lengthy game of Risk on Saturday night. At one point, I had all of Africa, South America, and North America. In one turn, ONE TURN, the girl playing after me cashed in her cards and wiped me from the map. Amazing.
We also saw Shrek 2. Very very funny. I think I preferred it to the first, which I did enjoy, but I wasn’t slapping myself. 2 was packed full of jokes, every available “shot” seemed to have a reference to some movie or another. Very enjoyable.
Tonight we had a rehearsal, for the upcoming minor motion picture, “Burwash Prison.” We film in less than two weeks, so the pressure’s on, but everyone’s feeling pretty good.
Tomorrow is the 26th of May. My birthday.
Star Wars EP III

Hahahah… yeah. I love Star Wars, and like all good people I have found little to enjoy in Episodes 1 and 2, and much to fear from Episode 3.
Poor poor Star Wars. I shall fast and pray.
Ractuss

Got some good ractuss in tonight. I’m finding that I just need to get on the decks for a good hour or so and it becomes easier each time. I really need to go and buy some more records though, cause I’m coming to the frustrated point with some of these.
Hehe, yeah… like “I Can’t Wait” by Kumara. I had been playing it at 33 ever since I got it, and I just realized tonight that it’s a 45. IT’S INSANELY FAST! Man… lol, it’s too fast. Ahh well. Have to buy more records… Ahh well, it’s only money.
Let’s try this again…

So I’ve put everything back into place, (Links, Blogroll) – last time I did that it was gone within a day. I hope it lasts longer this time… but I’ve taken security measures anyway.
Just finished playing some multiplayer Timesplitters 2 with my brothers. Awesome multiplayer. Pitty it’s not on Xbox Live.

Russell, Maija and myself drove up to Harvest Retreat Centre yesterday to scope out the cottages we would use for the film. We had a good time, and have decided on two cabins to film in. For those in the know, that would be Romance cabin and the derelict cabin beside it.
I can hardly wait. I’m getting very very excited about this film.

I seem to be having problems with my template – it got deleted, again. Perhaps some Russian Madmans are at work. Ahh well.
Today I went to Futureshop and got myself a copy of Crimson Skies. Very very cool game. As soon as I get one or two more then I can justify getting Xbox Live. I’m also looking forward to getting my hands on a copy of Psi Ops : The Mindgate Conspiracy. I played a demo for it, and it’s a crapload of fun. You can pick stuff (including enemies) up and throw them, using telekinesis. You can light stuff (including enemies) up with your pyrokinesis. Mind control is also pretty nifty. The physics for the telekinesis are reminiscent of the gravity gun, that everyone saw in the Half-Life 2 video from E3 last year.
Also on the gaming front, I’ve been reading some awesome things about Halo 2. Dual weapon wielding, forceful taking of vehicles, new human and covenant weapons, including the energy sword, to name a few. I’m thrilled.
In other news, I’m teaching Kids Church tomorrow for the first time in quite a while. It will also be one of my last times, as I have resigned from Kids Church, and as of the end of June won’t be involved in the Sunday morning program anymore. I’ve felt it’s time to focus on some other areas of my Walk, especially resting in God, and making my worship of him a personal, in-my-room-and-not-just-at-church thing.
Fun times.

I can honestly say that tonight I saw the most disturbing thing I have ever seen. I’m being very serious. It came in the form of a video, which you may have heard about, involving 4 supposed Al-Qaeda guys cutting the head off a Jewish guy.
Yeah, don’t see it. I had heard that the video was censored, but clearly only what they showed on TV was censored, because what my brother and I watched today, was anything but. I’m serious, I’m still praying it off, 5 hours later. It was honestly the most disgusting thing I have ever seen in my life.
I can finally say with truth, that movies are pure fantasy. I’ve seen plenty decapitations in films, it’s often funny… but it’s not real. It’s fake. It’s make believe. This wasn’t. I have never felt so horrified – so shook to the core of my being.
