Tomorrow will be the last Wednesday Morning Special Blend before The Hek returns to Thornhill for the summer vacation. I will make some calls to the show during the summer and will return as a full time host in September. Tomorrow's show will be off the charts, I think. We will have a lot of good things.

Jose Theodore is GOD. The Canadiens are immortal. Final score of Game 7, Montreal:2, Boston: 0. Now it is on to the next round against either Philadelphia or Tampa Bay. GO HABS GO! GO HABS GO!
Randy Orton vs. Cactus Jack was off the charts. It was definitely a "match of the year" candidate. Chris Beniot is still the champ!
PS: I hate stats.

Well it appears that Stone Cold Steve Austin has left the WWE again. Oh well, he was not doing anything significant.
Montreal:5, Boston:1 (BOS leads 3-2)
Toronto:2, Ottawa: 0 (TOR leads 3-2)
Both of these series will go seven games and The Hek is picking the Habs and Sens to take it. Does not look good for me right now. What are your predictions, dear reader?

The Hek is indeed The King of Swing!
And let's not forget my status as a Legend Killer. Speaking of which, what an awesome main event on RAW this past Monday. 8-man tag match: Chris Benoit/Mick Foley/HBK/Shelton Benjamin vs. Evolution. Crowd was hot and there was never a boring moment.
Writing a three-hour exam on no sleep is not just a challenge. It is an act of survival.

Just give me a chance to do a hip-hop dance. Just give me a chance to do a dance!
And now something for Passover:
As you know, every year or two, the queen of England receives a list of
candidates who merit being recognized as a knight. These men (and women)
are deemed to have done something for Queen and country.
Chiam, a Jew, was honored with this award. However, he noted that just
before being knighted, by being tapped on the shoulder with a sword, that a
few words in Latin were pronounced. Chiam was concerned, as he didn't
really know any Latin, and was most uncomfortable about receiving the
knighthood.
His friend offered some advice. "Don't worry, no one understands, just say
some words in Hebrew. They (Queen and company) don't understand Hebrew and
all will be OK."
The night of the ceremony, as the Queen took the sword and tapped him on
the shoulder, he began his reply, "Ma Nish Ta Nah, Ha Lila Ha Zeh, .....".
At the conclusion of this small response, the Queen turned to an aide and
asked "Why is this knight different from all other Knights?"
HAPPY PASSOVER

Some Random Thoughts:
The problem with Russian history is that there is too much of it.
The Hek has learnt how to play chess, so watch out, Bobby Fischer.
The Hek does not want to go back to his job this summer.
The Randy Orton/Mick Foley feud was intense. But then, The Rock showed up and it kind of lost its steam. If I was booking Wrestlemania XX, The Hek would have made a match between Shawn Michaels and Rock. That would be awesome!
I am playing road hockey tomorrow.
Okay, I am done now. Have a good weekend.

This Day In History
March 29, 1996
Seven years ago, I saw my first-ever professional basketball game. It was the Toronto Raptors taking on the Orlando Magic. This was when Orlando was an awesome team and still had Shaq. The final score was 126-86 for the Magic. The seats were bad and the Raptors stank.
Just like this season.
Nothing much has changed.

Last year, I was able to follow the exciting action of the National Lacrosse League mainly because the arena for the Ottawa Rebel was a ten minute walk from campus. However, over the summer the team folded so I have not been able to keep up with what is going on, which is a shame. Lacrosse is an awesome game to watch and most teams get good crowds. Anyway, the Toronto Rock are in first place, go Rock go!

A Minnesota Winter
August 12th: Moved to our new home in Minnesota, Beautifull here. The northern woods are so majsetic. Can't hardly wait for snow. I love it here.
October 14th: Minnesota is the most beautiful place on earth. The leaves have turned colors-shades of red and orange. Went for a ride through the country and saw some deer, They are so graceful...certainly they are the most beautiful animals on the earth. I really love it here.
November 11th: Dear season will start soon. I can't imagine anyone wanting to kill such a gorgeous creature. Hope it will snow soon. What a beautiful place.
December 12th: Snowed last night. Woke up to find everything blanketed with white. It looked like a postcard! We went outside and cleared the snow off the steps and shoveled the driveway. We had a snowball fight ( I WON ) ,and when the snow plow came by we got to shovel the driveway again, What a beautiful place. I love Minnesota.
December 14th: More snow last night. I love it. The snow plow did his trick to the driveway again. It's so great here.
December 19th: More snow last night. Couldn't get out of the driveway to get to work. I am exhausted from shoveling. Fucking snow plow.
December 22nd: More of the white shit fell last night, I have blisters on my hands from shoveling. I think the snow plow hides around curves and waits until i'm done shoveling the driveway, Asshole!!!
December 25th: Merry Fucking Christmas! More fucking snow. If I ever get my hands on the son-of-a-bitch who drives that snow plow, I swear I'll kill the bastard. Don't know why they use salt on the roads to melt the fucking ice.
December 27th: More white shit fell last night, Been inside for three days except for shoveling the driveway after that snow plow goes through. Can't go anywhere--the car's stuck in a mountain of white shit. The weatherman says to expect 19" of the shit again tonight. Do you know how many shovels of snow 19" is ?
December 28th: The fucking weatherman was wrong, We got 34" of that white shit this time. At this rate, it won't melt before summer, The snow plow got stuck up the road and that bastaard came to the door and asked to borrow my shovel. After I told him I had broken six-shovels already shoveling all the shit he pushed into the driveway, I broke my last shovel over his fucking head.
January 4th: Finally got out of the house today, Went to the store to get food and on the way back a damn deer ran in front of my car and I hit it. Did $3,000 damage to the car, Those fucking beasts should be killed. Wish the hunters would have killed them all last November.
May 3rd: Took the car to the garage in town, would you believe the thing is rusting out from all that fucking salt they put all over thte road?
May 10th: Moved to Texas, I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would ever live in that god-forsaken state of Minnesota !!!

The Hek loves poetry
A Robin's Song
By Shelly
As I awoke this morning
Sleepfull with a yawn
A robin perched upon my sill
To signal of the dawn
Oh lovely was it's message
How sweetly did it sing
It beconed me to rise and shine
With song and fluttered wing
So I arose so gently
To give it's song a lull
I gently closed the window
And crushed its fucking skull.

Celebrating 21 years of The Hek
Well I am off Montreal for an improv tournament. My friends and I at the Carleton Improv Association (CIA) will be taking on some of the best improv teams in Quebec. The CIA, however, is there to entertain. I'm sorry but if you look at improv and try to win instead of entertaining then, you turn improv into a sport. Which means that you enforce rules. But Improv has no rules and in the end it's not at all fun when you make it a sport.
Last year we went to this tournament and due to the actions of some of the CIA members we figured that the organizers would never invite us back. But, they have!
Get ready Montreal!!!!!!

Huge news from the world of wrestling!
BROCK LESNAR IS QUITTING THE WWE AFTER WRESTLEMANIA 20
This is quite horrible because he was one of the rising stars. His rise comes at a crucial time when the WWE badly needs to make new stars. Brock Lesnar also represents the future of the WWE. Ten years from now, there will be no Rock, no Stone Cold, no HHH, no Ric Flair. Ten years from now it will be John Cena, Randy Orton, Batista, Paul London, Charlie Hass, Shelton Benjamin and Brock Lesnar. Well, not anymore I guess.
As you can tell, The Hek is quite outraged by this announcement and pissed as well.

Today, I went to see The Passion of The Christ.
It was not the best movie I have seen but, it certainly ranks up there. It is a very moving and powerful film. If I were to compare it to another film, I would say that it is the same as Saving Private Ryan , in the sense of both film's brutal reality and their ability to make the viewer feel the main character's pain.
As a person of Jewish faith, I was interested to see how the Jews would be portrayed in the film. I was worried that the film unknowingly might have had an anti-Semitic stance in it. Fortunately this was not the case. The theme of this film is to love your fellow humans despite the little differences (ie: creed, culture, religion) and to forgive those who mistreat you.
On a side note, the dialogue of the film was spoken in Aramaic. I don't know a lot about this particular language but I detected some Hebrew and Latin in it.
Well to conclude, The Hek absolutely recommends this movie. I will admit, It does have some gory parts so, make sure you don't eat a heavy meal.

It's a funny world we live in. In 2002, the World Wildlife Fund and the World Wresting Federation went to court to see who owned the rights to the term "WWF." In the end the judge awarded the rights to the Wildlife fund. This forced Vince McMahon to change the name of his company to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). The decision ended a battle that lasted for ten years.
Now, less then two years after the wildlife fund's victory, they sale the rights to the term "WWF" after fighting for it for ten years. And you will not believe who they sale it too. Click here to see.

If you are ever in Ottawa, The Hek strongly recommends that you take a tour of the Parliament Buildings. Today, a very special visitor and I decided to go on a tour and we had a great time. We went to the observation tower just below the clock on the centre tower and the scenery was breathtaking. We also went through two security checks. After the tour we we're allowed to go to the House of Commons public gallery and watch the Federal Government in action.
Which leads me to this point...
Ain't the Government great? Out of the 301 Members of Parliament that are suppose to be sitting in the House of Commons there were only about 7 MP's that were actually sitting today. Even the Speaker of The House skipped out on Friday's Question Period (the back up speaker took his place). That's politics for you.

Man, I thought I hit the golden prize. I finally found an MP3 of John Cena's Basic Thuganomics. I played it five times and then when I tried for a sixth, a creepy women told me I could not play it anymore. She scared the crap out me! Well at least I have the lyrics.
JOHN CENA
BASIC THUGANOMICS

I'm untouchable but I'm forcin' you to feel me
Word Life
This is bas-Basic thuga-thuga-Thuganomics
Word Life
I'm untouchable but I'm forcin' you to feel me
Whether fighting or spitting
My discipline is unforgiving
Got you backing up in the defensive position
An asskicking anthem
Heavyweight or bantam
Holding camps for ransom
The microphone phantom
Teams hit the floor , it's the new tight joint
Like a broken needle kid , Yon missing the point
We dominate your conference with offense that's no nonsense
My theme song hits
Get your reinforcements
We strike quick with hard kicks
Ducking ice picks , Bare-knuckle men through fight pits , beat you lifeless
You'll never survive this
You forgot like all timers
Two face rappers walk away with four shiners
The war rhymer
Turning legends to old timers
My incisors like a viper biting through your one-liners
New Deadman Inc
And we about to make you famous
Taking over Earth and still kicking in Uranus
Word Life
This is Basic Thuganomics
This is ba-Basic Thuganomics

I'm untouchable but I'm forcin' you to feel me
Word Life
This is bas-Basic thuga-thuga-Thuganomics
Word Life
I'm untouchable but I'm forcin' you to feel me
You ain't advanced enough to process
Potential for medical concepts
Some objects are foreign like blot tests
Arts and sex are complex
Regardless of your finesse or your fitness
It's the condition of business
Your lame vision of an under-ground
Physical image , You're underneath to undermine
Your whole typical image With the precision of percentages
And the collision of sentences
Poetry beats your mic's were untouchable like righteous sluts with no
crevasses , Streets unite
we rock Tighter with dumber beats
You catscouldn't come this hot in the summer heat
But get two takes kill your birds the first time
You better stay worthy of my filler or worse rhymes
I'm better than nice
Check , the veterans twice
While you're beside yourself with fear
I'M kill you and bury you twice
Despite the cover of night
Tracking your flight like guerrilla warfare
Where the grass is dense
Approaching me is a quick way to get referred

Dead-da , when the lights the mic is on

Teams hit the floor , it's the new tight joint
Like a broken needle kid , Yon missing the point
We dominate your conference with offense that's no nonsense
My theme song hits
Get your reinforcements
We strike quick with hard kicks
Ducking ice picks , Bare-knuckle men through fight pits , beat you lifeless
You'll never survive this
You forgot like all timers
Two face rappers walk away with four shiners
The war rhymer
Turning legends to old timers

Another crazy week has come to an end. Let the reading week begin!
So, Farley Flex did call my show and the interview was awesome. Apparently, he has heard that I have a face for radio. ZING! I actually sang for Farley and he told me that my voice was not bad. All in all, it was one of the best interviews that Noel and I have ever done. I was planning to go to the Idol auditions but that plan unfortunately fell through. I'm a bit glad I did not go. I was going to interview contestants for the show which means I interview them and then go to the station and edit the interviews. This would just add to the list of things that I need to do and quite frankly, that is list overfilled. I'm also very tired.
I have not had a lot of sleep this week. This is due to my Russian term paper which I handed in two hours ago. So today, the mission is just to relax.
Here is something really funny that Tim sent to me: Consumer Monster's Buy Nothing Day
Until next time....

You gotta love the rollercoaster that is life.
It all started on Saturday when I went to Montreal with my Aunt Jackie, Uncle Jack and Cousin Kaila to attend my Cousin Aubrey's engagement party. I had a wonderful time! The best part of the trip was getting to see so many relatives that I had not seen in four years. For me, it is rare to see family. That's mainly because we all live in different cities and are not close together. Therefore, when one of these occasions do occur, it is certainly a special time.
There was a stand with photos of Aubrey and his fiancee Gabby from when they were little. Believe or not, Aubrey actually had a Knight Rider shirt. Just imagine a child walking around with David Hasselhoff on his t-shirt. Aubrey and Gabby are a great couple and I know they are going to be very happy together.
On a side note, I tried Budweiser for the first time and believe The Hek when he tells you that it is not the king of beers.
When I arrived back in Ottawa on Sunday I was planning to write a quick 200 word brief on the Carleton University Ravens Nordic Ski Team's performance at the Ontario University athletics (OUA) Championships. Basically it was suppose to be a simple little easy article and would only take me an hour to do. But at 9:00pm, to my horror, I discover that THE F**KING MEN'S AND WOMEN'S NORDIC SKI TEAM BOTH WON THE PROVINCIAL TITLE! This was huge news and it meant that my easy 200 word brief turned into a 500 word article. All I wanted was something small this weekend because I was away and didn't want to worry about writing any big articles for the Charlatan. However, as the song goes, "You can't always get what you want." I completed the article at 11:00am today and submitted it to very grateful sports editor (his name is Mark but it's not the same Mark that some readers might think it is).
So how was your weekend, Dear Reader?

I am starting to have dreams when I take powernaps in the afternoon. That worries me a bit. For the past three days, I have eaten stir fry for lunch. The Hek has got to cut down on that.

Looks like luck was on the side of The Hek.
It all started with the radio show that went perfect and then it was off to my Russian history class. On Monday, my prof told the class that he needed to go to Ithaca, New York, and was planning to come back Tuesday night. However, if there was a snowstorm that night, he would stay there and class would be cancelled. Sure enough that's what happened. This gave me extra time for my assignment which is due tomorrow.
From there I decided to skip my English Lit class so I could have more time to work on it. I don't usually skip my classes but when it comes to marks, you can't waste your time.
With that in mind, I only went to the lecture part of my film class. Besides I had already seen the film.
Total up this borrowed time and you've got a complete assignment......sort of. I still need to work out some kinks but at least I won't have to worry about anything done last minute.
Now I just hope I get a good mark out of it.

I was getting a lift back to Carleton from my uncle who took Highway 417. We drove past a sign that said "Amber Alert. Please tune into local radio stations." This of course means that a child has been kidnapped.
This is what happened.
What is our world coming to?
I close my eyes and I'm taken away to a place where there is no sin and no corruption and no murder and no crime and no hate. One day, my Eden will be a reality. One day...

Great. Just Great.
So there I am at the Mongolian Grill in Carleton's residence cafeteria; getting pumped for another delicious dish of stirfry.
But then, the two cooks found it important to talk about all the cute girls that were in the caf. Bad enough that the girls were aged 18-20 while both cooks were aged 35-40 but for some reason the cooks decided to praise all the ladies by making DX Crotch Chops (ie: suck it). What's worse is that they were still holding on to the metal spatulas that also happen to touch my food. So to recap: spatula touches crotch, then touches my food which goes down my throat.
I once came to the conclusion that 78% of the world's population are complete assholes.

Last night I watched a short film called Linda Joy. It was made in 1985 by Linda Joy Busby and William MacGillivary.
After beating breast cancer, Linda Joy Busby decided to document her victory. She took a movie camera, sat in front of it and simply talked about her battle and the struggles that faced herself, her friends and her family. She then took the footage to MacGillivary for editing. However, during post-production, the cancer returned and she died before the film was finished and released.
For something so simple, it is quite powerful. At the end of the film, my fellow classmates and I were silent and all on the verge of tears.
Linda Joy Busby was not afraid to die after she thought she had beaten cancer. Maybe one day, I will feel the same way.
I'm afraid of death. I'm scared of dying because I don't know what happens when it will occur. I don't want to die. I lay in bed and think of the future and at first I am in a positive state. But then, I think about what my life would be like when I am in my 60's and 70's. I am a filled with the fear and it haunts me. I pray that I will never grow old and I pray that I can avoid death. But we all know that is impossible. No matter when it will occur, I will never be ready for it.
For me, the most frightening aspect about death is that it could happen at anytime...

Yesterday I did something I had not done in a long time: play a game of road hockey. It was just great. Everyone who took part had a fantastic time and we're probably going to do it again despite the fact that we're all sore today.
For me, playing road hockey brought back a lot of memories. It took me back to my days in elementary school when all you needed was your hockey stick, your buddies, a ball and you were all set. Those were fun times. It was all I did in grade five and six. Every Tuesdays and Fridays after school I would rush home, drop my books, pick up my stick and then rush back to the school. And we played until we couldn't play no more.
However, those memories also came with a certain sadness.
When I was young boy, I lived and breathed sports. But more importantly, I wanted to be a professional athlete. It didn't matter what sport it was. In the summer, I dreamt of being the star catcher for the Toronto Blue Jays, winning the World Series with a two out, bottom of the ninth home run. In the fall, I was the star quaterback with the Toronto Argonauts, winning the Grey Cup. In the winter, I was the goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens, winning the Stanley Cup. And in the spring, I was sinking Three's for the Toronto Raptors. I would imagine having children come up to me and asking me for my autograph. I wanted to be someone who was remembered as a legend.
But as I grew up and realized that I had no athletic ability whatsoever, those dreams faded away.
Now I realize that those dreams did not just fade away. Part of me died with them.

Until then, I will leave you with this dream I had. Well, it's kind of hard to describe but basically The Hek took on Sharon Osbourne in some good ol' fashion drag racing. I think she won.

Yup, nothing like shelling out $109.00 for a bunch of books you are going to look at for four months and then never look at again.
Watched the Carleton Ravens defeat the Laurier Golden Hawks in women's basketball, 60-54.
Anyway, here's a joke I heard in a movie called Low Visibility. "That man is so friendly, he even shakes hands with door knobs." *cue the drums.
Hey Raine! I know you are all about the Circus Of the Damned; but seriously, how can you be pissed off at Ed the Sock. He's a cult legend. Sure, his humor is a bit crude but he's very creative at it. Isn't it about creativity? He's not my favorite comedian. However he gives me a few good laughs.
Well, just some random thoughts from The Hek. Tomorrow is another day.
Go out and have fun.

I love my Russian History Course. I believe it was said best when Russia was described as "The largest nation in the world. Run by lunatics. A genius. And, a charlot." Today I learnt about the Decemberist Revolt. Basically, after Tsar Alexander the first died/disappeared in 1825, his two brothers, Constantine and Nicholas decided that neither one of them wanted to rule the nation. Constantine had secretly abdicated his position so that he could marry his polish-catholic girlfriend. That left Nicholas in charge but he did not want the position because the guard's regiments that aided and protected the Tsar, hated his guts.
Meanwhile, members of the guard's regiments had formed secret societies which came up with a plan to revolt and turn Russian from a state of absolutism to a republic. The plan was simple. While the Southern society created a diversion by causing trouble in Ukraine, the Northen society would round up its soldiers, march into the senate square and intimidate the senate into creating a constitution. The violence that would occur would only be the execution of Nicholas since he was technically in charge.
However, the soldier that was suppose to kill Nicholas chickened out and told Nicholas what was going on. Nicholas got pissed and arrested the leader of the Northern society. The guard's regiments did march in but, they had no leader. There was one person who was to fill in for the arrested leader; however, he decided not to show up. Another soldier was sent to find someone to take charge but he didn't return. Confusion, bad orders and a few cannons later, people lost their lives and the revolt failed miserably.
Just think about it. If that one soldier did not chicken out, the fate of history could have been changed forever.

Welcome to the new 2004. The Hek has returned to the Nation's Capital after a well deserved and much enjoyed break. I'm looking forward to the new year. It's like a fresh piece of paper and with my pen I will write another chapter of my life.
I feel a bit confused. I miss my family's home but I also miss what I have in Ottawa. Sometimes I question where my home really is. However, the more I question, the more I dwell. The more I dwell, the more I am filled with a sadness that will consume my purpose in life. Better put that out of my head.
It's time to continue to express.

Has it really been a week since my last blog?
Oh well....I am composing this new entry from a computer in the Thornhill Community Centre Library. It's quiet......too quiet. Then again, it should be. It's a library, people!
It's been an enjoyable break so far. I have been chilling out with friends and it is good to see that they are doing alright. Currently I am reading Mick Foley's new book Tietem Brown; it's not bad at all. I was very interested to see how good of a writer "Mankind" could be in a non-wrestling capacity. I must admit, for a man that was once thrown off a 20ft. high steel cage, he certainly can put out some compelling material. I recommend it to everyone.
I also saw The Last Samurai which was a very enjoyable movie.
I think I will head down to the Eaton Centre.......

Currently I am reading Mick Foley's new book Tietem Brown; it's not bad at all. I was very interested to see how good of a writer "Mankind" could be in a non-wrestling capacity. I must admit, for a man that was once thrown off a 20ft. high steel cage, he certainly can put out some compelling material. I recommend it to everyone.
I also saw The Last Samurai which was a very enjoyable movie.
I think I will head down to the Eaton Centre.......

Oh man, am I tired. No doubt, it was one hell of day for The Hek!
Tomorrow, I'm going home and you better believe that The Hek is excited. I have not seen my family or friends in four months.
Well that's all I can say for now. Unfortunately, The Hek does not have an internet connection at home so for the next two weeks, there will only be a few posts. Nevertheless, The Hek promises that he will update as much as he can.

Finally,
The Hek has FINISHED his exams!
I am now breathing a sigh or relief and I'm looking forward to the break. But I before I do, there are a couple of things I have to take care of.
First, there's my radio show, The Wednesday Morning Special Blend; which can be heard every Wednesday morning from 7-8am EST on CKCU-FM 93.1. It's a hour full of interviews, music and sports news, club listings and all kinds of Tom Foolery. This week, I will be doing my last show for 2003. But I will be back on January 7, 2004. If you are not doing anything at that time, check it out. Who knows? You might just become addicted to it (LOL).
Of course I also have to do my holiday shopping. I'm definitely looking forward to going down to the Rideau Centre. Maybe I'll see my buddy Simon at the gift-wrapping station. It will give me an opportunity to see if Simon is the self-proclaimed World's Greatest Gift-Wrapper.

Sure the stuff is interesting but it's giving The Hek quite a headache. I have a three hour exam tomorrow on this stuff. Do you think I'm ready for this? You study for three days and on the last day, no matter how hard you try you can't concentrate. It's like you are reading the notes and yet your mind is thinking about other things.
Where's the justice?

It looks like it was a wacky wild kool-aid style type of day in Iraq. It started with a phone call.
Operator: United States Armed Forces. How may we help you?
Saddam: Ah yes, is Butts there? First name is Seymour.
Operator: One moment. Hey is there a Seymour Butts here? Seymour Butts? Hey I want Seymour Butts. Where is he?
Saddam: *snickers
Unknown to Saddam, the call was traced and it lead army officials to a small house.
House's Owner: I don't know what you are talking about. Saddam isn't here.
USA General 1: Well the call came from here and we're not leaving until we are sure that he's not here.
USA General 2: Keep searching men, I'm just going to rest against this unstable brick wall and have a smoke.
HUGE CRASH!
When the dust all cleared the army found a giant spider hole.
USA General 1: This is the US Armed Forces. Is there anybody in this hole?
Saddam: Ah no, there is nobody living in this hole.
USA General 1: Well that's good enough for me.........WAIT A MINUTE!
After a bit of a struggle, Saddam came out peacefully.
USA General 1: We have you now, Saddam.
Saddam: Saddam? What are you talking about? I am not Saddam. I am America's sweetheart, Judy Garland.
USA General 1: Wow Judy, you've really let yourself go.
USA General 2: Hold on a sec. If you are Judy Garland, then why is there a poster in your hole that says "I am not Judy Garland. I am Saddam."
Saddam: *sigh.......It's too hot today.
Well, Saddam still tried to reason with the generals.
Saddam: Look fellas, I keep telling you that I'm not Saddam. I'm.....I'm....I'm Chad Sexington.
USA General 1: The same Chad Sexington that kept crashing his car into my father's grocery store?!
Saddam: Um, no, no. I meant to say that my real name is, Ludwig Van Seline
USA General 2: The same Ludwig Van Seline that keeps taking pictures of my sister?!
Saddam: No. No. My real name is........think Saddam, think........it's......BENEDICT ARNOLD!
Despite his efforts, Saddam could not fool the military and now sits in jail. The sun has finally shined on Iraq. Here is to PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST!

The fire alarm in my building goes off too many times. There I was at about 9:30pm est. preparing for another exciting study session when the darn thing starts blaring its usual ear-piercing scream.
I am not a big fan of alarms or any loud noises. I don't know what it is but when I hear something really loud, it makes me cringe. I remember when I was five years old, my kindergarten teacher took the class into the big gymnasium at school. We were playing a ball game when the school decided to conduct its yearly fire drill. It was the first time I had gone through something like this and it scared the hell out of me. I was so frightened that I refused to go back into the gym for two weeks. I must've cried my eyes out that day. On a interesting side note, a few days later my school conducted a second fire drill and to this day, I believe they had done it just for me.
Well, I guess everyone has to have a weakness.

The Hek is going to take a nap.

KISSING BUDDIES?! UGH!! What the hell was I thinking?
The Hek would like to take this opportunity to apologize for his ridiculous "kissing buddy" theory. I don't how I could come up with such nonsense. Everything I said in that blog I truly meant; except for the kissing buddy idea (especially, the part where I said I'm going to look for KB and not friend). The Hek would be miserable if he actually looked for a kissing buddy.
So once again The Hek is taking back that statement and apologizes. In fact, I'm editing it out.

Okay, where did my comments board go? It was up there a few hours ago.
Well that just stinks....
Last night I went to a wonderful dinner party put on by my good friends Jennifer, Andrew, Corrina, Kyle and Sandra. It was a fantastic meal! Those five are such great people.
Watched a good Smackdown! tonight. Rey Mysterio vs. Brock Lesnar. Big Show vs. John Cena in a battle rap.
Well time to go to the bed. Remember, dear reader, what you read is the stuff in my in mind at time of writing. Doesn't mean I believe it myself.

THE HEK IS FED UP!!!!
For years I have tried to find that special girl, I have searched for that relationship. Over and over and over again I have climbed the mountain only to be kicked off, fall flat on my face and have nothing but scars. And now I realize that what I have been trying to find does not exist. There is no such thing as a "boyfriend/girlfriend relationship."
What there actually is between a man and a woman is friendships that involve romance and friendships that don't involve romance.
I recently met this girl named Chia and we have become really great friends. And I realize that what Chia and I have is no different then a couple like my buddy Noel and his girlfriend, Leslie. The only actual difference between The Hek/Chia and Noel/Leslie is that Noel and Leslie express their friendship through love and romance while Chia and I express our friendship by being friends. And most importantly, I have learnt that it does not matter whether or not romance is involved in your friendship. The actual friendship is the most crucial part. What Noel and Leslie have is absolutely amazing and special as is what Chia and I have.
I have come to realize that a friendship is far important then a "romantic relationship." and I encourage you, dear reader, to realize that you don't need a "relationship" to be happy. All you need is a good friend and you are all set.
Get well Chia!!

The Rock and Mick Foley were on WWE:RAW together for the first time in at least 2.5 years. I miss the good ol' days of the Rock and Sock Connection. Good times, good times.
I treated to myself to a cup of poutine today. But it wasn't the authentic Quebec poutine, it was the Ontario artificial and over priced style. I don't eat it that often, but when I do, I want to make sure I get the real thing. Next time I'll head to Gatineau/Hull.
Until next time.....

I am not a perfect person.
However, I do strive to be one in certain aspects of my life. Now, it's up to you, dear reader, to decide if that is one of my faults or one of my good qualities; but, consider this thought which came to me as I walked home from my history exam.
Exams are meant to test our knowledge on the particular subject (in my case, 1100 years of Russian history). But what exams also test you on is how much knowledge you can bring up in a specific span of time. What I would like to know is whether or not that is really fair. Some people can remember things faster then others. You can study the same amount of time as some other person. However, this other person may be able to finish his/her exam thirty minutes before you do. So, here is what I'm asking: should there be a time limit on exams?
Think about it. Would it be good or bad if Universities had system where a student goes to specific room at around, oh let's say, 10:00am, is given an exam and told he/she has until 6:00pm to finish it? The exams might be a little longer, but the student can leave whenever he/she wants. And the best part of it is that they have enough time to write the exam, review it and not get stressed out from the phrase "time is running out."
No, this is not an excuse for any possible bad results..........yet.
BTW, I should have a comments board up very soon.

Well, hello everyone.
It's been a while since I last spoke to you all. I've had too many term papers to complete. But now they are all done and it is time to focus on exams.
Last week, my friends Noel and Leslie went on a vacation and asked me to take care of their cat. At first, I thought it would be a hassle. For five straight days I would have to go to Noel's house by bus, feed his cat and get back on the bus to come home. However, this was not the case.
I became quite attached to the cat. I do not know why. I have never had a pet before in my life. Well, I did take care of a friend's hamster a couple times but still, I did not have the same attachment as I did with this cat. When Leslie was giving me instructions on how to take care of it, she was treating it as if it was some child. I thought she was crazy! But, after spending time with the cat, I could fully understand why she acted like that.
I wonder what my life would be like if I grew up around pets. Maybe I would be a different person. But I guess I will never know.
