Ever notice how the week goes by fast. HA! How many times has The Hek said that before on this blog? Anyway, The Hek's good buddy Simon Seline came by for a visit. It was good to see him. I never thought I would ever say this but Simon actually dropped off the face of the Earth. The Hek had two reasons for this: one, Simon was going to school all day and working all night; or two, he got married to a girl named Suzy Q. and moved to South Dakota. However, no matter what happened it was good to see him. Interesting fact, Simon was the second Carleton person The Hek ever met. Remember that. It's going to be on the test.

Apparently a scientist in England did some calculations and is now stating that today is the worst and most depressing day of the year. The reasons for this include: 1. The fact that by now, people have given up on their new year's resolutions; 2. Everyone's credit card bills from the holiday break are coming in; and 3. The weather is shit.
Can't say The Hek disagrees. Except for the credit cards. The Hek has no credit cards.

The Hek is sitting in a computer lab on a beautiful Friday morning. There's only about four other people with him. Everybody is typing away. Typing away as if there lives depended on it. Normally, I would be home at my own computer. However, once again fire alarm testing had to be done. This time, instead of the normal two hours, they will be testing that darn system for almost the entire day. Therefore, I need to find things to do.
So far, The Hek had breakfast, and I will probably go to the doctor's office. Then, at 1pm The Hek's going to head over to CKCU and help out there. This brings us to 3pm. Hopefully, everything will be done; so, I'll go take a nap.
I could go do that; or, maybe I'll just stay here and play with my self.

Today's Lesson: Don't mess with The Hek!
There is one thing The Hek will not tolerate, cold showers. For the last few months, getting hot water in my suite was as hard as finding Bigfoot. Many times, Carleton maitenance came to my place, worked on some things and, encouraged me that everything was fixed. Yet, time and time again, I would step into the shower and be forced to have ice cold water splash on MY F**KING BALLS!
Today was no exception. However, it would appear that someone could read my mind. After I came home class, there was a nice letter waiting for me. It was Carleton residence who apologized and offered me a handsome credit on my account.
Score one for The Hek.

Today's exciting EXPERIMENT:
The Hek eats lots and lots of baby scrimp to see if he is allergic to it.
I have never had scrimp before. There must have been a reason for this. Therefore, I will put my body to the test to see if scrimp swims down my system gracefully or, wages war on my insides.
So far, nothing to report.

Good grief.
The Hek had a little too much to eat tonight. Gluttony was on my mind, I guess. Let's see, I had two tacos, two soft tacos, two slices of pizza, two cookies, some Spanish rice, some beef and an apple. There has to be tons of trans fats in all that.
Aw, well. What doesn't kill you makes you strong like bull.

The following is a conversation that took place between The Hek and a Doctor who just finished medical school and is now in residence at a local Ottawa hospital. For those that are wondering, The Hek went in for a consultation because my f**king toe still has not healed. Anyway, here is the conversation.
Doctor: Okay The Hek, I am going to prescribe for you some medication to bring the swelling down.
The Hek: Sounds good to me.
Doctor: Alright let me just print it.....here you go.
The Hek: Thank you.........Wait a second, this isn't my prescription.
Doctor: What?
The Hek: Look, it's a prescription for someone named Lesley Theires.
Doctor: Oh! It is. Well you are clearly not Lesley and you probably won't want her birth control pills either. Sorry about that.
The Hek: No problem.
You gotta love medical students. Just before the conversation two other students came in. They looked at my toe and said, "Wow, that has got to hurt" and "Ew, gross."
And The Hek is proud to report that he got a B on his 18 page paper.

Thanks for the question, Steve.
It will be interesting to see how the two Williams pan out for the Raptors. I not familiar with their stats but, it seems they're good at rebounding which is something the Raptors need. As for Zo Mourning. I really don't know what he can do for the Raptors. He is way past his prime. I have a bad feeling that this is going to be just like when Hakeem played for the Raptors; a big name player, way past his prime, who did nothing but sat on the bench and get injured.
The Hek is heading back home for the holidays. I can't wait!!!!

The Hek finished his first essay today. One down, one to go.
I am very pleased to find out the Corey Koske has signed a deal with the Blue Jays. What this means is that Koske will take third base and Eric Hinske will move to first base. The main question for the 2005 season is who is going to step up now that Delgado is gone.
That's all for now. Time to watch the "Fat Albert Christmas Special.'

Yesterday The Hek slept for 13 hours straight. I woke up in the early afternoon and prepared to go to the library for some studying. As I left, I looked out the window and said to myself, "That's the only time today I am going to see sunlight." It starts to get darker earlier and earlier these days. Now, it is winter so, it is normal for that to happen. However, it is getting dark at 3pm; that is not normal. Maybe, the end is near.

So there I was, enjoying a nice, peaceful nap; when suddenly, the damn fire alarm goes off. I hate fire alarms with a passion; especially if I know they are going to occur. Anyway, when the building emptied, we were all told that we took too long. Apparently, we are suppose all leave the building in 15 minutes. According to the fire alarm testers we took 25 minutes to evacuate the entire building. So, we have to have another drill…fun. Trust me, if there was a real fire, we all would have been out of the building in 5minutes.
Oh, for anyone that cares: Brent Butt didn’t call the show. There was some sort of mix up. Noel and I hope to have him on the Blend in the near future.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the show last night. The show went well and we had an excellent turnout. When good fortune like this occurs it gives me a sense that everything will always turn out alright. I have a lot on my plate for the upcoming weeks. There's my midterm on Wednesday, a presentation in another class, three papers due in seven days and, a newspaper article that I have been tailing for the last few weeks. It is going to be hectic and I am probably going to be stressed out. But I have a good feeling that everything will come out on the plus side.

The CKCU funding drive has come to a successful end. This year the station raised $103, 835.39 and as usual beat its annual goal of $93,100. Not sure what they're going to do with the remaining 39 cents but, they'll think of something.
In the meantime, it looks like the Raptors have got something going this year. Today, they beat Portland and are now 3-0 on the season. The Hek is not going to lie to you, that is sexy.
Also, I spent the entire day cleaning my pad. I shall celebrate this feat with a meal of tacos and alphegettis.

Chris Bosh put out an amazing performance tonight against the Pistons. Of course, when I was choosing my fantasy NBA team, I thought "Should I take Bosh?" I decided not too and look what happens. Fortunately, I did take Jalen Rose and he has done well.
Speaking about doing well, the Argos beat the Ti-Cats tonight and they move on the Eastern final against Montreal.
Okay, here is the thought of the day:
You know what sucks? When you try to download what you think is an episode of Jackass and instead turns out to be a compilation of two porn shorts and another short on fire safety.
Have a nice weekend,

First off, Wednesday Blend made a total of $145 for this years' CKCU funding drive. That is more then double from what Noel and I made last year. So, to all the people who dialed and donated, thank you!
Now on to the election:
What really bugs me about the results is that I now have to put up with another four years of anti-Bush sentiment. I can't stand that. Don't get me wrong. I oppose George Bush's polices but I also oppose this notion that he is some kind of demonic, immoral, heartless human being. There have been other politicians and world leaders who have been much worse than George W. Bush. Hitler comes to mind. So does Moussoni and Saddam. To disagree with Bush's stances on the issues is one thing. That's cool. But to make him out to be murderous insensible Texan is going to far. Of course that's just my opinion.

We're well into our first week of the funding drive now. CKCU calls on you to help support community radio in Ottawa. Real radio that supports independent music - local, Canadian and worldwide!.

CKCU Funding Drive Update: $30,000
Wednesday Blend Total so far: $45
Do the math, it equals to 0.15%. But there is 10 days left to go.
Congratulations to the Boston Red Sox. They ended that 86-year-old drought and finally brought a World Championship to their fair city. Not only that, but they silenced the best offense in baseball, the St. Louis Cardinals.

Last night I went on a haunted walk in downtown Ottawa. The stories were cool and creative but it did not scare me......until I went to bed, and lay on my bed in my dark room. Suddenly, things that shouldn't make noise, made noise. I was a little boy again; head under the covers, drenched in sweat. To be honest, the stories have made me a bit on the edge.
Okay, time to get down to business: World Series. Now Game one was a slugfest. But despite that, it's going to be a closely contended match up. So The Hek is predicting that the Red Sox will beat the Cardinals in seven games.

Ah, the brilliance of the University Residence Cafeteria.
So, the caf at school decided they wanted to fix their dishwasher. When do they decide to fix it? This weekend which means that everybody has to use paper plates, cups and untencils. They decide it would be better to fix the dishwasher this weekend instead of last weekend when most the residence students were at home for Thanksgiving. Now everybody has to use the paper cuttlery. Bet you anything they run out by Saturday evening.

Yesterday, it rained like never before. It seemed that Ottawa got the tail end of the hurricane that hit Florida earlier in the week. Literally, there was a three foot lake outside my window. The building I live in could not handle the rain. The first floor got completely flooded and all the residents who live there, had to be shipped off to a hotel. My room had two puddles appear near my computer. So, there's a garbage bag over my computer. It's like a condom. Fortunately, it is drying nicely. Stupid Smarch weather.

2. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
3. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops brioght ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.
4. Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.
5. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.
6. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray painted very, very high.

8. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
9. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness
10. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit }
11. Karmageddon: It's like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's like a serious bummer.
12. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.
13. Glibido: All talk and no action.
14. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly 15. Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.
16. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.
17. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a grub in the fruit you're eating. And the pick of the literature:
18. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.

Today I learnt the true meaning of Labour day.
It all started after lunch. I needed some dairy products as well as some wall tacs. The best place to get these things would be the Billings Bridge Shopping mall. As someone who needs some exercise, I chose to walk to the mall. The walk was a good 25 minutes and I was exhausted. However, when I came to the front entrance, I discovered that the entire mall was closed for Labour day. It was then that I said something along the lines of "Mother F**ker." So, I turned around and walked all the way back to my home. I did happen to stop along the way at a 7-11 and was able to pick up some of my groceries. Nevertheless, I intend to go back to the mall and pick up the remainder of my shopping list. And, I do intend to take the bus which leads me to my next point.
I went to go by a sheet of ten bus tickets and discovered that the good people at Ottawa-Carleton transportation (OC Transpo) had raised the price for a sheet of tickets from $8.50 to $9.00. That is an OUTRAGE!
There were some bright spots to this day. I got to see Tim before he goes to England and I had lunch with my friend, Jen.

MOTHER F**KER!!!!
So yesterday I went to the doctor to have my ingrown toenail taken care of. I sat in the office and time went by like the time it takes a turtle to walk from Toronto to Ottawa. Finally, the doctor comes in with a sheepish look on his face:
"Hi The Hek, I'm really sorry but it looks like I have run out of the freezing that I need for your toe. We will have to rebook the appointment."
To be fair, The Hek's doctor did look around for the freezing medication. He went to other doctor's offices and even ran to the pharmacy downstairs.
What a lousy time to run out of freezing. To make things worse, one of my campers stepped on the bad toe and it hurt like hell.
Well, the way I should see it is that it is a blessing in disguise.

If any of you come across a pretty Canadian girl named Emily. Please tell her that The Hek misses her very much and can't wait to see her again.

The following excerpts are actual answers given on history tests and in Sunday school quizzes by children between 5th and 6th grade, in Ohio. They were collected over a period of three years by two teachers. Read carefully for grammar, misplaced modifiers, and of course, spelling!
Ancient Egypt was old. It was inhabited by gypsies and mummies who all wrote in hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert. The climate of the Sarah is such that all the inhabitants have to live elsewhere.
----------------------------------------------------
Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients. Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandos. He died before he ever reached Canada but his commandos made it.
---------------------------------------------------
Solomon had three hundred wives and seven hundred porcupines. He was an actual hysterical figure as well as being in the bible. It sounds like he was sort of busy too.
----------------------------------------------------
The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and without them we wouldn't have history. The Greeks also had myths. A myth is a young female moth.
----------------------------------------------------
Socrates was a famous old Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. He later died from an overdose of wedlock which is apparently poisonous. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline.
----------------------------------------------------
In the first Olympic games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled biscuits, and threw the java. The games were messier then than they show on TV now.
----------------------------------------------------
Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be made king. Dying, he gasped out "Same to you, Brutus."
----------------------------------------------------
Joan of Arc was burnt to a steak and was canonized by Bernard Shaw for reasons I don't really understand. The English and French still have problems.
----------------------------------------------------
Queen Elizabeth was the "Virgin Queen". As a queen she was a success. When she exposed herself before her troops they all shouted "hurrah!" and that was the end of the fighting for a long while.
----------------------------------------------------
It was an age of great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg invented removable type and the Bible. Another important invention was the circulation of blood.
----------------------------------------------------
Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented cigarettes and started smoking.
----------------------------------------------------
Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100-foot clipper which was very dangerous to all his men.
---------------------------------------------------
The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare. He was born in the year 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies, comedies, and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter.
----------------------------------------------------
Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote Paradise Lost. Since then no one ever found it.
--------------------------------------------------
Delegates from the original 13 states formed the Contented Congress. Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the Declaration of Independence. Franklin discovered electricity by rubbing two cats backward and also declared, "A horse divided against itself cannot stand." He was a naturalist for sure. Franklin died in 1790 and is still dead.
----------------------------------------------------
Abraham Lincoln became America's greatest Precedent. Lincoln's Mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves by signing the Emasculation Proclamation.
----------------------------------------------------
On the night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his seat by one of the actors in a moving picture show. They believe the assinator was John Wilkes Booth, a supposingly insane actor. This ruined Booth's career.
----------------------------------------------------
Johann Bach wrote a great many musical compositions and had a large number of children. In between he practiced on an old spinster which he kept up in his attic. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Bach was the most famous composer in the world and so was Handel. Handel was half German, half Italian, and half English. He was very large.
----------------------------------------------------
Bethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf that he wrote loud music and became the father of rock and roll. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him. Bethoven expired in 1827 and later died for this.
---------------------------------------------------
The nineteenth century was a time of a great many thoughts and inventions. People stopped reproducing by hand and started reproducing by machine. The invention of the steamboat caused a network of rivers to spring up.
---------------------------------------------------
Louis Pasteur discovered a cure for rabbits but I don't know why.
----------------------------------------------------
Charles Darwin was a naturalist. He wrote the Organ of the Species. It was very long and people got upset about it and had trials to see if it was really true. He sort of said God's days were not just 24 hours but without watches who knew anyhow? I don't get it.
----------------------------------------------------
Madman Curie discovered radio. She was the first woman to do what she did. Other women have become scientists since her but they didn't get to find radios because they were already taken.
----------------------------------------------------
Karl Marx was one of the Marx Brothers. The other three were in the movies. Karl made speeches and started revolutions. Someone in the family had to have a job, I guess.
