Some good news for you today. I have received my offer of residence accommodation which I means I will leaving at good old Carleton for my fourth and final year. The best part of this is I'll be in the same building, in the same suite and in the same room.

Also I have decided what I am going to write about for my Canadian Literature paper: The one and only Leonard Cohn. You know how it is. Looks like freedom but it feels like death.

Yes! Did not get locked out of the station. I was also on for an additional 45 minutes. Best of all I found an MC Hammer album from 1988!!!

Here's the best part, ladies and germs. One of my profs announced that he was canceling the final exam we were suppose to have. Now that's a prof who gets my vote for best call ever.

Time to put a baseball team together. Let's see, A-Rod or Pujos?

Alright. Tomorrow: Wednesday Morning Special Blend.

Hopefully I won't get locked out. Cross your fingers and your toes. Say a little prayer.

Here I am in the good old Lanark Lab, working on my paper because if The Hek stays in his place too long, I get what you people call Cabin Fever. I am probably going to watch some comedy tonight. My only worry about that is how OC Transpo's Easter Holiday schedule is going to affect me. Apparently, the last O-Train from Carling to Carleton is 11:18pm. Normally, it's 12:03am. There are bus routes but they might be done when the comedy show is done. Wow, this is shaping up to be quite an adventure.

For those who tuned in on Wednesday, allow me to explain why I was not on. Simply put, I got to the station and found out that it was locked and no one was inside at all. By the time I had gone through the proper channels and got in the station it was 7:57am. Now that, sucks.

Tim sends us these comments:

1. Happy Birthday Eric
2. I take issue with the outlandish comment that was left by Angelina, and I think your tone of your post doesn't help the argument you're trying to advance. Honestly, I don't see what's so harsh about Eric's comment. It's not hidden that their life probably sucks. I bet if you went up and asked them then and there, they'd tell you that their lives sucked bad. And the truth is that life is about choices, God gave us free will, and what happens is from the choices we made in the past. Obviously those girls who are pregnant at that age and have the "highs" from morning sickness... They made choices which brought them there. No, I don't think we should judge them or anything. We're in no place for that. But I think it's also stupid to play dumb too and pretend that there's no difference between the choices you/me made and those that they made. The truth is in the result, and the result is where we are right now. Angelina is off the mark here. Eric didn't pull any "better than thou, bullshit."

Here is Angelina's comments:

Because your comment forum sucks and I cannot defend my stance. http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/laughing_corpse/

My post on Monday, March 14 has garnered quite a response. The Hek is no doubt pleased about this. One of the reasons why I post my thoughts is so that I can get people talking and reacting. It's sort of a need to be heard and not having what I say disappear in vain. My comments for this particular post were put together during my birthday as I was "walking the Earth." I wanted to take the time to reflect and I became another year older. It was in the McDonalds when my reflections became words and thoughts. It was those three people who caused it. Without further ado, here is what I said:

Here's your moment of perspective.

I was sitting in a McDonalds yesterday across from the Rideau Centre. Next to me were three people; two girls and a guy. Here is what I overheard from their conversation. Girl 1 was a drug addict with two kids (separate fathers BTW) and a boyfriend who just got out of jail. About 22 years old. She claimed that getting knocked up twice were "mistakes but, it happens, and that's all there is to it." Girl 2 who was probably 20 years old, maybe younger; happened to be pregnant. She asked Girl 1 about whether it hurt to give birth. Girl 1's response: "It hurts for a bit. But, once its done, you are on the biggest high. It's awesome. If the morning sickness gets to you, just smoke some weed. It's harmless. Just don't drink." The guy was sitting there making rants about politics and how he wished he lived somewhere other then Canada.

So, if you ever think that your life sucks, I want you to think about the three people I just mentioned. I want you all to realize that things for you could be much worse. Take pride that you made good choices in your life and have no regrets.

Here is the response I received from one of this blog's readers:

That's bullshit. I mean...just because those two girls are/were pregnant and they're not in the best of situations...It doesn't give you the right to compare your life to theirs and think you've made the best of choices in life. After all, you don't know their circumstances or their hardships. If any, they're stronger to live with their mistakes. Raising a child--let alone two is not an easy feat and NOT in your place to judge and compare your "good" choices to theirs.

That is such an insult. The worst possible situation is when you're dead. You shouldn't take pride in your choices in life--be it right or wrong. Take pride in the fact that you make mistakes and learn from them. What's the point in living a good life when you have no redeeming values? You live and you learn. The fact that you're fortunate in life doesn't give you the right to pull this "better than thou" bullshit. -end rant-

To Angel Lee: Thank you for your thoughts. You might not believe this, but I really do appreciate it. As for the rest of you who read this, I would love to get your reactions to the opinions expressed. Feel free to say somthing on the comment board. HOWERVER, it would be best to place your comments at the little comments sign (The one that looks like this: (0)comments). The big comments sign (The one that looks like this: Comments(0)) is all screwed up and you can never post more then one comment.

In any case, feel free to say anything.

The Hek is dealing with a nasty fever, totally ruining his fucking weekend. What makes things really bad were the hallucinations I had at 4am last fucking night. For some reason, I thought was surrounded with my fellow soldiers and a plague was reeking havoc in the trenches.

Then I started to have these dreams. The only one I can remember was where my buddy Owen and I took these two girls out to some medieval fair in Ottawa. For some reason I kept saying it was like the CNE which, was not true at all. Then, we're in a restaurant and I look to see the Museum of Civilization has been moved from Gatineau to some fucking forest. And, for some stupid reason, it was being called "York Hospital." That's just messed up.

The real bad thing about being sick is the huge amount of time you are all alone. When I get lonely, I get sad and start to think about things that I don't really want to think about. Fucking fever.

I think I am developing a crush on Judy Garland. Too bad she's been dead for thirty years.

I was watching The Rise and Fall of ECW last night. Brought back a lot of memories. Now there was a wrestling company that never sucked at what they did. People say Vince McMahon is the most important man in the history of wrestling. I disagree. The most important man in the history of wrestling, without a shadow of a doubt was Paul Heyman. Paul E. gave wrestling a much needed re-birth in 1993. Without his work in ECW, WWE would not be what it is today. The whole era of Attitude would have never taken place without the insanity that went on in a bingo hall in Philly.

Speaking of which, I miss the Blue World Order. Remember the good old days when Stevie Richards (now Steven), Nova (now Simon Dean) and the Blue Meanie (now much slimmer) were running around with their wacky shannigans?
