So television has taken all morals and values and thrown it out the window. It's a brand new show called The Ultimate Love Test. Couples are split up, one goes to a travel resort, the other stays home. The producers purposely give the people that are at the resort new possible, tempting love interests. They then tape all the escapades and send to the significant others who are at home. Emotions ensue, and in the end, nobody is happy. Whatever happened to trust and love? Why is it being toyed with? It's so bad, but it is so compelling, I can't stop watching it.

The new American Idol was crowned last night. Her name is Fantasia and she's got a dance called the bobo. The Hek thinks she has some talent but I am not too crazy about her voice. Kinda sounds like a cartoon character. But she will go far.

Okay, its time for The Hek's sophisticated survey of the month: is it better to be a pacifist or a non-pacifist?

Has this world gone completely insane? Innocent people being murdered in Iraq because they're American? Prisoners in Iraq, being tortured by American soldiers (so much for life, liberty and pursuit of happiness)? Police officers being stabbed to death by fucked up teenagers? The stuff in Israel? You know sometimes The Hek wonders if this world needs a good cleansing.

So here I am once more in the library, trying to get my marks for two remaining courses. Still nothing and that has got The Hek worried.

Anyway, I was watching American Idol last night and it occurs me, Ryan Seacrest has to be one of the most polished personalities ever. Every time he moves, he sparkles. Ben Mulroney has not hit that level yet. I wonder if that's a good thing.

First off, I watched Kill Bill, Volume 2 last night and The Hek thought it was awesome. Both volumes are works of art and true masterpieces. David Caradine who, plays Bill, did an Oscar winning performance.

Well its hard to believe, but I have finished my second year of university. It was certainly a year where I learnt a lot about myself. I had some high moments and I had some low times. However, in the end, if I was asked to do it again, I would do it and not change anything. Will The Hek have a similar experience in third year? Well, only time will tell. Until then, it is time for the summer.

As some of you may know, I do not have the internet at home. Therefore, these post will be less frequent. But I do encourage you to continue to read and check.

Have a good summer everybody.

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

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.

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.

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.

Nice

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.

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

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
to in the past tense
Dead-da , when the lights the mic is on
the crowd is dead like intermission When you're on the Titan-Tron

How I Feel

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

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.

Isn't it amazing how the week goes by so quickly. Before you know it, it will be April!

Here is my recent article from The Charlatan.

I guess I'm in a 'random thoughts' kind of mood.

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.

Yikes! What a crazy day. I haven't had anytime to relax.

Anyway I'm getting ready for my show tomorrow. Noel and I are going to be talking to a representative from the Sock and Buskin Theatre Company about getting some funding from Carleton. I'm also going to praise Noel for his correct prediction to the Super Bowl. Lucky Bastard. Tune in if you can: Wednesday 7-8am EST CKCU 93.1 FM.

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...

I've been trying to view the website of the Carleton Student Newspaper and for some reason, everyone has been able to pick up the site except for me as well as any other resident students. I wonder if you fellow readers can pick it up outside the Ottawa area. Let me know.

Thanks.

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.

Hmm, a friend of mine added a comment to my blog from Jan. 22. It was quite thoughtful and had an interesting concept on death. So, I respond by using the comment function and for some reason, the comments board for that blog disappears on my computer :-(

Tomorrow on Wednesday Blend, I hope to play my interview with sexpert Sue Johanson. I am scheduled to talk to her for at least five minutes today before she talks to Resident students at Carleton university.

Tune in: Wednesday 7-8am EST, on CKCU 93.1 FM.

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...

Did you know that of all bands, KISS actually once recorded a disco track. It's was called something like "I was made for loving you, baby." According to Gene Simmons, the song was recorded because at the time, the band "felt like being a whore."

Oh well, I guess it's ancient Kisstory.

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.

We all need people to look up to. Heros, idols, etc. You know what I am talking about fellow readers. The Hek has found one such person. Some of his actions are not something that I would do or agree with . However, I like this guy and what he stands for.

Hi folks.

Well, The Hek has been under the weather for the last few days. Fortunately it was just a small cold. Anyway, I'll be back tomorrow with something worth reading.

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.

Wow, it's amazing how you can surprise yourself sometimes. I handed an assignment in that I thought was pure crap. Turns out I got a B- on it.

Well, off to do show prep. Tomorrow on the Wednesday Morning Special Blend, my co-host Noel and I will look at a website that allows you to send e-mails to your loved ones after you die. Check it out: 7-8am EST on CKCU-FM 93.1.

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.
