Impulse

I am overly joyed that I am a slave to impulse. Very few things I do in life are carefully planned out...even frickin essay's I write are night before and write whatever comes to my mind first because that is what your purest and truest opinion is going to be. It's about saying the first thing that comes to your mind whether its thought provoking or just plain dumb. Its about driving around aimlessly and slamming the car into park to go swim in a man made creek and then realizing that it is mucky as shit water. Impulse rules, try it sometime!

Indesicive Impluse

A date
Just a simple date
Ideas, none
Sense of fashion, none
Cash, none
Inspiration, none
Time, 5 minutes
Keys...where are the keys
Mega inspirato...
A fumbled greeting
A skating rink
Skates from the 80's
Skating like I have never before
Because I barely have ever before...
Laughter
An untimely fall?
Or fate intervening?
A helping hand...
That just didn't let go
Hot choclate
Aimless driving
A hill
2 abandonded sleds
The hand still not letting go
Aimless driving
The good night
3 missed opportunities
Finally an akward pause
A great night capped off perfectly


ok so amazing poem it isn't but it sums up the night in short! so damned smitten!

p.s. if your acctually looking for a good poem look at the blog below (at least I think its good and really thats all that matters!

song of the night: Mr. Brightside - The killers....so freakin addicted to this song for some reason!

Cloud Nine?

Eyes locked into one another
Stares that could never be broken
Hands gripped in sweaty embrace
Body movement the only thing spoken
Promises of forever
Wrapped tightly in sweet nothings
Words lost in heartbeat
While still being meaningful somethings
Floating along in bliss
On the cloud number nine
No thought to the hardships
That follow not far behind
Notes passed back and forth
their messages one and the same
Conversations about one soul
Hearts outlining each others name
Could this be the love
To justify all other taken chances
It just seemed so right
Until caught was stolen glances
At first no second thought
Came anywhere near your mind
It had no affect
You were still happy all the time
You still loved her cute imperfections
But your mind started to drift
Why settle for imperfect
When you can trade the present for a better gift
Your fantasies grew
While reality began to deteriorate
Sweaty embrace no longer held
Belief that it was no longer fate
Deep stares had been broken
Forever had come to an end
You were just fine on cloud nine
Until you were tempted by ten


Why when we are happy, truly happy, do we keep being greedy? We always search for something better and often take for granted the happiness that we already have. We all believe that we deserve better even if we have the best. The people that are tuly happy all the time have come to terms that what they have is the best, the person they love loves them back, they know that as bad as life seems sometimes it can be worse so they should be happy for what they have. To quote a great man: "Don't worry. Be happy!"

Have a good one y'all

Best friends and best wishes...

In life most of us try not to be selfish and are generally happy for those around us when good things happen to them. But there are times when something they percieve as good is taking many more good things away from them. They get trapped into somewhere they think they want to be and forget about those that have been around them and were there originally. Now this does not mean they have to do something drastic but maybe just make a concious effort not to change so much that they become a totally different person. But it is in this same thought that we come back to wishing the best and being happy because they are happy.

anyway I probably have just confused everybody because I confused myself

p.s. I have an opening for 2 new drinkin buddies whom like the sauce alot as the 2 you are replacing are temporarily out of that game!!

The Apple Tree

Girls are like the apples on the apple tree (bear with me it is more insightful than it sounds). There those that have already fallen to the ground, those near the bottom and those at the top. The ones that have already fallen to the ground are easiest to pick up. Some of these apples have already turned rotten and bitter. The ones lower on the tree but still hanging on are a little tougher to get to but yet with a little reach and attention are easily attained. These apples often look nice but thier taste is a little off. These ones have a tendency to give up and just fall to the ground. Last there are the apples at the top of the tree, the ones that look delicious and infact taste even sweeter than imagined. They are the apples that one must climb the tree to get to and risk getting hurt. But it can be seen in these apples when no one has climbed a tree for a while they let go of the tree and settle for an apple picker whom treats her like a ground apple.

Guys are like apple pickers surrounding the tree. Many guys are lazy and rather than put in any effort they take thier chances with the dirty ground apples. Other guys make the little reach and go for the apples hanging on the lower part of the tree. Lastly there are those guys who are not satisfied with the apples at the bottom and climb the tree. There are many reasons guys like these are sometimes hard to find. First of all some guys have climbed to the top for a delicious looking apple but fell along the way and decided that the pain of the fall was not worth the reward. Others as mentioned before are just plain ole lazy and would rather take whats given to them then work towards thier goal. Some guys just plain ole want the trophy apple that can often be found hanging near the bottom of the tree, and they have no desire for the apple to taste good or have a personality (had to break the analagoy for a second). And finally some of them have climbed to the top, picked thier apple and have never had to climb again....this being said there is obviously still guys that are willing to climb for the top, beautiful, delicious apples despite how many times they have fallen and there are some guys that have had thier fill of dirty bottom girls and have decided to finally make thier way up the tree.

So inessence keep holding on to the top and keep climbing because someday your going to fall and the apple tree is going to catch you.

The reward is definately worth the pain.

keep on ahhh keep truckin everybody!

2 songs you should listen to today: Mr. Brightside - The Killers, Mexico - Brandston

The Sexes

All of you-"What are you gonna write about in today's blog Adam?"
Adam- "Whatever I feel like, gosh!!"
There are some key differences in the sexes and another blog has inspired me to write about the ones I have noticed and as always I will offer up my wonderfully inciteful advice!
Girls, Women, Ladies, Bitches, Ho's, Female's, Sista's, Shorty's, The Better looking Gender, Whatever the Name (these are generalizations, I realize all girls are not like this...but then again why can't I ever find one?)

Gossip: you start it, spread it and believe it when it comes round to yourself. Stop that, you are aiding and abedding all that is wrong. Everytime you hear a piece of gossip give the person whom told you an ear full and maybe they will stop spreading the shit.

Make-up: Seriously you don't need it on days that aren't special occassions. The guys that don't apprecite a girl with her hair up in her pj's and no make up probably wear make up themselves. I would take a good ole punk girl any day over the made up princess. You are beautiful the way you are!!

(and my personal favorite) The Lead On: If you don't like a guy, don't lead him on to believe you do. If you like a guy, but don't want anything in a relationship/ sexual way, friggin let him know. There is nothing worse than a girl giving a guy just enough to think she is interested so he will worship the ground she walks on. Have some class

Guys, Bro's, Pimp's, Males, Men, Brotha's from different Mothers

gossip ain't our style, make shouldn't be and wake up and relaize when your being lead on. Also don't be so damn cocky we are no longer the superior gender. Infact we have never been, women have always controled things...its only now that they are center stage when they used to just run the show from behind the curtian....and this should suit you just fine! Now there's no pressure on you to control anything but the remote. So open up a beer losen that belt and let those women do thier thing!

p.s. y'all have to check this out it's friggin sweet
http://www.collegehumor.com/?movie_id=106148

p.p.s. upon further inspection of this blog it sucks but shit happens eh!!

A second full of positives

I will first appolagize for the lack of blogs alot lately, it is mainly due to the fact we are doing so many reno's to this place every single moment I have free I am working on this eff'ing place and it is also in part I was coaching in moose jaw this weekend.

Which brings me to my second point...A second full of positives. The Marion M. Graham Senior Boys Basketball team placed second at the tournement and finally all the freaking hardwork began to pay off and instead of negatives to be rid of we had positives to build on. Before this weekend the players have, to put it bluntly, sucked ass. But I truly hope this is a sign of what is to come!

p.s. I am doin pretty good cuffer buddy...coaching, working, schooling, playing and PLAYIN'....oh yeah!!! how boot yourself??...also floggin molly is good...I am not a huge fan of moneen, yes I have seen there show but they were upstaged by park, who is awesome, plus I was kinda drunk so I will give em another listen for ya!

p.p.s. Drunkeness is a definate must mr. W!

Do it...do it

So I don't feel very creative right now but I feel as though you took time out of your precious lives to check up on this sorry excuse for a blog thus I should provide you with some entertainment...thus my list of bands you should listen to before the year is done (many of which can be found on www.purevolume.com or www.absolutepunk.net )...this list is in no particular order but the ones with the little star by them are bands whose cd you need to buy because every song on the cd is amazing, they are one of those you will listen to from start to finish with no need for a track change button...also some without the star you may want to buy but I cannot find thier disc's for the life of me thus I cannot condone the whole cd! I am not saying you will like this music...especially if you don't like emo and punk and all that but you should still listen to them...even I don't like some of them but it gives you some choice
anyway to it I go (its gonna be a long list)
Brand New*****, My Chemical Romance****, The Format, The Living End, Park, The Early November, Snow Patrol, Armor for Sleep, Anberlin, Something Corporate, Straylight Run**, Taking Back Sunday and The Used *(thier old cd's are money...new ones are alright but hard to match up to the others), Jimmy Eat World*****, Vendetta Red, Unwritten Law, Denver Harbour, Fenix Tx, The Spill Canvas, Halifax, Emery, Further Seems Forever, Brandston, I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business, Flashlight Arcade, Stars Hide Fire, Funeral For a Friend, From First to Last, Homegrown, Allister, Letter Kills, Midtown, Fallout Boy, Say Anything*, Alexisonfire, A Thorn For Every Heart, Relient K, Blink 182*, Coheed and Cambria, Sherwood, Pedro the Lion, Matchbook Romance, Dashboard Confessional, Death Cab for Cutie, Don't Look Down, One Dollar Short, Number One Fan, The Postal Service, NOFX**, Over It, Light the Sky*, Hidden in Plane View, Novice***, Name Taken, The Movie Life, Mest*, Less Than Jake, Kick Over the Traces, Acceptance*, Cartel*, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, June, Houston Calls, Hazen Street, Hawethorn Heights (niki fm..really the only song I like of theirs), Half Way Home, Gatsby's American Dream***, Copeland (if you like emo at all you have to get the song by Underoath featuring the lead of copeland...I think its called "some will seek forgivness, others escape"...its dynamite!!), Audio Karate, The Trademark, The Starting Line (also see The Get Away), The Salads (music isn't all that great but they are absolutely amazing live!), The Rocket Summer, Saves the Day, Senses Fail...and a little uderground hip hop that emo punk rockers might enjoy Atmosphere, Sage Francis, The Dorian Three, Yy, MC Lars and possibly some Brother Ali (I am just throwin these in there for those readers who hate emo punk)

(who am I kidding I barely have any readers thus I shouldn't be worried about differing musical tastes)

anyway this should be close to a years worth of Music for you, as I discover more I shall maybe let you know!

Signs

There are so many things in this world that need signs and I am not talking about bigger signs of the freeway saying "slow traffic please keep to the right"...Though those would be greatly appreciated. I am talking about stupid people, mean people and crushes. If all stupid people had to wear green wristbands then we could know to avoid them when we are in a ready to snap mood and know to talk to them when we are in a I want to feel smart mood. Mean people should have to have some sort of defining mark...like a hanus scar over thier eye, if its over the left eye it means that they are just pissed off at the world and everything is against them so they are just going to be the one's to bite first and if its over the right eye then it means they are just plain ole grumpy and when they think they are being nice they are acctually being quite the asshole. and then there is a sign that is definately needed to know whether or not one has a crush (the kind of crush defined on october 26th in the blog titled "crushed"). There are many solutions and signs that could be used. Suggestion number one: If one has a crush on another a simple touch of the hand will give the sign of wheather or not there is a mutual crush...when the hands touch a mutual crush results in a plus symbol showing up on the index finger and when its a one way street a minus sign will show. Suggestion number 2: Name tags that change to suit the feelings being had at the exact moment ex. hi my name is jaimie and i am feeling: incredibly horny (and then when she turns to someone else it reads) hi my name is jaimie and i am feeling: incerdibly horny..sorry bad example apparently jaimie is just a slut, but you catch my drift. and finally suggestion number 3: mood rings with only 2 settings....red means crush and black with a skull and crossbones means no crush...beacuse i mean atlast if there's no crush felt you should be stylish right!!

anyway I have wasted enough of y'all's time!!

Ready or Not...

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you sometimes. You will just be living each day out and floating along when the harsh realities of life hit you right in the face and bring you crashing to the ground. Life doesn't care if your ready or not...it doesn't care if you openly embrace its obstacles or if you don't accept any of its teachings. My only advice is that what doesn't kill you (or those surrounding you) can make you stronger, you just better accept it for what it is and build on lesson taught...also remember to live each day to its max, as cheesy as it sounds. Cheerish the times spent with friends just sittin around doing nothing, the times spent inside and out on a rainy day, the snow angels, the family gatherings, the campfire stories, the laughter...because someday you won't be here, or someone close to you won't be there for whatever reason!
My absolute best wishes and thoughts go out to my aunt and uncle tonight, to my cousins and to all the family...it didn't kill them so eventually it will make them stronger and in turn will strengthen the family!

goodnight all

to lighten things up...quote of the day from a movie: "your mom goes to college"
quote of the day from my man blair: "yeah it's cheesy...but I like cheese"

21 and Invincible

The day of birth came with a lack luster effort and left with a bomb.
In other words new years eve was ok...nothing special
New years day (night) was a gong show and I got bombed...a good way to start the new year right all fresh and what not!!
