Month: June 2003

  • Ah… Making music has always been my true love, it’s just that I lack a great amount of disapline. This summer I will attempt to compose at least one masterpeice on my computer. Yes, that’s right. Instead of spending hours playing my guitar like I was planning to, I will try to compose the best I can on FL Studio 4.0. These kind of things aren’t easy, it firstly takes a great amount of time laerning the program, then it’s just “What patterns of sounds shall I mix?”… Anyhoo, I don’t know about this being a job due to ‘job security’ within the Dj world, Unless! You’re a total star, like the best of the best, the cream of the crop… I really don’t know if I’ll make it that far…


    Anyways remember to enjoy life, take it easy, and do whatever makes you happy.


  •  Wishing a happy Father’s Day to everyone! …And onward with my thoughts…


    I’ve noticed alot of things to do with how the human mind works… Regardless of the situation, humans will forever possess a wanting for something; a need for something… or someone. It works very simple, if one wants something, it will do what it would work for it! People may want luxuries, love, or even essentials to life; selfish, selfish hairless apes!! Even if one is wealthy, they may hunger for more wealth. However, some may indeedly live within their so called “paradise”. Yet, others will be in envy, some may even take the extra leap to kick you off the summit when you’re just where you want to be.


    Why do so many get depressed about life? Life isn’t free, you pay your toll to experience it. Whether it’s now, or in the distant future. Why must many look away? Hold your stance and face it right in the eye! It isn’t your fault for anything that you ever did, you may search the world in an endless “witch hunt” for a scape goat… But, if you think about it, everything happens  due to a domino effect. You might aswell blame primitive bacteria for leading to the evolution of who or whatever caused the reason of your depression. The past is gone, don’t live within it, nor look away… It’s a template to compare, what do you want to repeat, what do you want to never happen again? How can you do this?


    Long trains of thought for today, I hope you enjoyed or read it atleast! ;) 4AM, good night world! Take care, if you don’t care… Then just enjoy yourself and make the best of things.


  • *I changed pic, to the left. I look darker than that, and my hair is brighter. – Crapass camera. – And, NO… I’m not short I just took the pic like that. (I’m about 5’10.5-ish)


    Listening to: Vivaldi – 01 – Concerto in A Major Allegro molto, YES! It’s true, classical music can really make you smarter. This is obviously true because the composers were geniuses! Damn, if I was within their era, I would either be a philosopher, an artist, or a composer/musician.


    Eating: As much as I can, I need to work up some fuel for studying. Studying? “A rare event!” But! Next year, puahaha… I will train, err study… Thems exams next year will get a fight for sure.


    My day: Today was basically a total waste of time, until way later… But! I’ll get to that in a bit. Basically we, as in: Eric, Marcus, and I walked around school in circles. I won’t get into mass detail, but just thing of walking in circles, how entirely boring and exhausting it can be. I even feel asleep on the bus! Joy. Damnit today we wasted so much time, I wish I just left and went to Churchill to pay a “surprise visit”!


    Tommorow: Exams await me. Not too much BS, hopefully… I rather battle to the end with solid fact, if all fails I will swallow the suicide pill taped to the bottom of my tongue.


    Yes, I write alot for now. I’ve decided to only write posts that have some sort of meaning. Today’s meaning: to state that future posts shall be given life with meaning!



  • I wanna go shopping for some new summer clothes… But, damn I have expensive taste. I don’t know why… it’s not like I’m poor, it’s just I feel guilty when my bank account has less than $700.00 (CDN). Mexx, Diesel, CK… Bleh… Where can I buy some ‘casual’ shorts that still feed my taste? We shall see…



    Rant of the day!

    Secondly I hate returning crap to stores, damn handsfree… I paid $45.00 /w tax. Gotta refund it for moola at FutureShop. Ahaha, if they ask me for a reason why they are in for a huge essay off the top of my head, that’ll teach them not to charge so much for a craptastic peice of electronic equipment.


    Anyhoo, you people have a wonderful day! Cause I’m hopin to have the same! ;)


  • Trance, hard-trance, chillout, deep house, euro, and even classical… I am so addicted to Digitally Imported radio channels. Infact, it’s almost all I listen to.


    Anyways, onwards to my day’s plans… I’m probably going to withdraw or rob some money from the bank to repay my debts, so I don’t get any legs broken. J/K, but yea I’m still going to the bank… Then I’ll either go shopping or for a bike ride in central park. -And after all that relieves any unneccessary stress or tension I’ll probably go home and hit the books. I really need to study for this week. It’s like the most studying I’ll do this year.



    Yes, I’m slacker. I am proud… shame.



  • the following is a rant

    Today was total bullocks at school, all my first 3 blocks were lazy teachers that said not a word and we did nothing! More like sit around and do nothing, while teachers get paid to slack off. In English class, I took my stupid quiz, got so crappy on it 20/25. Even Gavin who can’t even pronounce alliteration got 2 higher than me!! OMFG. – and stupid Zahor gave me lower than Eric on our artistic project. Zahor is truely a wench.



    the following is not quite a rant.

    …Anyways, I’m gonna start going to the gym 4-5 days a week as soon as school ends. After 17 years, of taking my body for granted, i  anticipated that the future does not bid well for my laziness. I haven’t exercised in about a year since I last took PE in grade 10. Anyways… remember the lines from fightclub? Well…


    you are not the clothes you wear

    you are not your sports car

    you are not your fucking khakis
    Going to go now, so i bid you all good night, for I am Matthew. – and that is my job.

  • Entirely bored in IT12, I laugh at those who have chosen to take it next year. It’s possibly one of the slowest moving classes ever. I supposed you could even refer to it as a free block with internet and printer access.


    Anyhoo, I took TRUECOLORs yesterday and found that I am…

    Green, shaded with blue

    Joy, anyways… Yes I am curious and have all these feeling crap…

    Anyways, I’m out, slacking awaits me… Laaaate


  • PROCRASTINATING all school related duties: ie. hw and studying. There are things that must be done, and others which musn’t. However, some things are ment to be set aside for later, for the human mind sees little interest in it. Yet, we must for we know that it is our duty.


    I have a Spanish 11 final tommorow, OMFG and I don’t have a clue on how to speak spanish. Tsk tsk, only 69%. But, at least I know some stuff.



    Otherwise…

  • I’m going to try something a tad bit different… So brace yourself for a story of my day. Nothing interesting, nothing special.


    Early within the morning, I heard a loud crash. It was the main door, I ignored it and traveled back to dreamland. Later on, I woke up for the second time and the heat hit me. It was about 10:12, no one else was home. As the lazy sloth that I am, I grabbed a towel and slowly slithered towards the washroom to take a shower…



    And the day began.

    Today was almost as monotonous as every other weekend lacking extraordinary company. Sitting and sitting, upon my chair. I sat with dual monitors staring upon my glazed face. I felt lost and at home at the same moment. Later on, somehow I realized that I had a biology assignment coming up and it had to be done.


    Venturing out into the big, scary world that awaited me on the other side of my door I sighed. All that I could do was walk around with my eyes closed, ignoring it, for I was tired as usual. I crossed the street and walked towards coniferous trees, to collect conifers. I walked, and walked, soon to feel lost. But, I did not care. Tree, after tree. Each was twice as large as the other. Some, possibly measuring up to 30 meters. People walked by and gazed at me, suspiciously. As if I was not the doctor, nor the patient, but the murderer. Or perhaps because of my unusual appearance. I did not and do not dress up as the time to take a long walk within the woods. I was dressed a bit GQ-ish, never the less what they done was cruel. However, they cannot effect me. The only feed to my laughter.


    Bored, bored, bored… Congratulations, you have wasted your own time reading this.




    Now time for some java, for those of you who are taking IT12 and are slow. OR are going to take IT12 in the future. Don’t worry, my site will have ALL IT12 projects from 2002-2003 this summer for you leechies out there.:
