Last night, I had this dream.
I was sitting at my computer and in the span of two minutes, I found out that many of my friends and acquaintances - who, mean a lot to me - were heading over to Iraq, at the height of war, to write stories about it. There I was, so safe and so far away from any danger; and yet I was the only one scared. I was scared that they would all be killed. I was scared that I would be all by myself forever.
Right now, I am staring at the book I am currently reading, The Wars by Timothy Findley. There's a character who sits underneath a table while his headquarters is being bombed by the Germans. He turns to Robert Ross and says "Isn't it marvelous."
There are three things I dream about:
1. Doing my show at CKCU and everything goes wrong.
2. Going to a Blue Jays game and getting lost on the way.
3. Something to do with death and the people I care most about.

In the words of ECW commentator Joey Styles: OH MY GOD!!!!!
The Hek has just returned from watching the NBA Slam Dunk competition. It was off the f**king chart! Josh Smith of the Atlanta Hawks not only won the contest but, has taken the art of the slam dunk to the EXTREME! Smith took the ball, jumped over Kenyon Martin of the Denver Nuggets who was sitting in front of the net on a chair and, put it in the net! Amare Stodamire of Phoenix Suns also had a sick dunk. It goes like this: the ball goes off the backboard, off Steve Nash's head, into the hands of Stodamire who takes it home. I am so worked up right now, I have to do some Tai Chi to calm down.
Congrats also to Steve Nash who won the skills competition.
To my man Stephen in the land of the rising sun: you have to see those dunks! It makes Spud Webb look like Oliver Miller.

Guess what The Hek found out yesterday.
The Hek was going through imdb.com and came across this new film called The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy. The movie has a character named Zaphod Beeblebrox. There is a bar here in Ottawa with that same name. And, The Hek has always wondered how the bar's owner ever came up with that name. Now, The Hek knows. And knowing is half the battle, in bed.

Yesterday, The Hek did something he has not done in a long time. The Hek bought some bagels.
Now, I'm not talking about the usual bagel. I am talking about the finest bagels of them all. MONTREAL STYLE BAGELS. Truly, the best type of bagel. You can eat them plain and they taste divine.

Arthur Miller died today, he was 89 years old.
I am a bit sad about this because I have a very close connection to this man. My first performance for my high school drama club was in one-act play called "Accidental Death of A Salesman." The story was essentially about Willy Loman meeting his creator, Arthur Miller. I played the role of Miller and for two months, I researched and investigated this man's life. It also helped that I was reading "Death of A Salesman" in English class. He was an interesting man. Wrote plays and married Marilyn Monroe. The theatre has lost a great one. May he rest in peace.

Here is what a prof told myself and my fellow classmates yesterday:
"The main idea to remember about society is that existence sucks. You're born and then you die and that's pretty much it. So, how do we combat this awful reality. We combat it with four simple things; booze, sex, drugs and, religion."
Funny. You can have all the PhD's in the world and all the intellect; and look what you get.

Well the Patriots won the Super Bowl again. I guess it is now time to use the word DYNASTY when describing them. How is it that Tom Brady can be so perfect? The half time show was pretty good. A little toned down but, that was expected.
After the game The Hek watched "American Dad." It was okay, not fully funny. The Hek needs to watch a couple more episodes before he makes a judgment. The Hek's not too crazy about this new show following the "Family Guy" formula very closely when it comes to the main characters.
In conclusion, The Hek ate too much of the good food Noel and Leslie made. The Hek would also like to thank Noel and Les for the awesome Buffalo Bills band-aids he got as part of the festivities. The Hek cannot wait for the next time he cuts himself and uses them.
BTW: If you are in the Ottawa area tomorrow night, come on out and watch the Carleton Improv Association. We are doing a show in Commons Grill which is located in the Residences Commons building at Carleton University. Show starts at 7:30pm. It's going to be OFF THE CHART.
