On An Island In The Sun

Survivor: Hey, want to form an alliance.
Matt: They are useless if the people really know you.

Apparently, people do not care for me. Not care for...I don't want to sound like some sort of self-preaching emo hypocrite. But they cannot comprehend me, yet they BELIEVE that they have me completely figured out. Do you know how insane that drives a person? When you can't take a step because people assume they know exactly which step you are going to take...it doesn't make sense I know. But it feels good to type it out.

So. Typically when things are going good, a hurricane strikes my island in the sun, knocking us back to the stone-age. Things have been going good, and it is about time to sign the lease for the house and pay out the money to the college. I assume of course that this is my big arse rain cloud. Something else will happen, because something always comes in threes. But yes. Today was awesome actually. I was offline for the second half of the day, and I am currently sitting inside, because 17 degrees is just to cold for Kayla to leave her Kayla-Kave. Sad. Anyways. Away i go! Aloha, and have a good afternoon!

It's May. The end of May actually. I love May. It is my favorite month. There is a party tonight, the first one of the season, at least for me. Yeahhhh! It's at Ryan's, and I believe it's his birthday. Basically, everyone is going, except not really, because he is only "allowed" to have a few people over. Why I made that list I do not know, but w/e...it's a party right? Kayla is coming, and Shannon and her new beau Jeff are going to be there as well. First off let me say that I am so very happy that Shannon has found herself a dude! It means freedom for me and Kayla, and another couple that is together a lot to do stuff with! Anyways, i'm off to track Tim down...OH YES! Tim is back!

Yay! We found a house! 13B College Crescent, Barrie,ON. That will be my address for the next two years! It looks strange to me...the address I mean, on account of I've lived on Second Avenue West for a long time. Oh well. I'm sure I will adjust. We are meeting within the end of the month to sign the lease! I honestly can't wait. It will be an unforgettable experience.

Life is okay. It's bland. But that was expected. Honda is going well. Kayla is doing okay I guess, although sometimes I wonder. That's probably my fault anyways. I have a Macbook Pro. I love it. It shall get me through college alright. We have more less decided on a house to move into. It's on College Crescent, It's alright, pretty decent for a college house I imagine. It's mother's day today, and both of the mothers in my life got flowers. Currently I am at Lea's, which is coo. Kayla is dress shopping, oh and yesterday was fantastic! My and Dylan went to Orangeville, and ended up going on a fantastic RoboPanda hunt. We failed, but had fun. Kayla, Dylan, Shannon, Jeff and I hung out until late last night, and it was okay. Kayla was very quiet. I can't wait for next weekend. Matawatchan here I come. Next time though, it's up to the good ol' Port. Which brings me to the other news. This summer's playlist has officially been dubbed "Midnight at the Port".

Have you ever seen a book that you just wanted to buy for the hell of it? A book that screams "ME"? I bought that book today. ALTHOUGH I found it a couple of years ago, in a Chapter's in Newmarket. Aunt Joan had a very successful surgery there today, a stressful time for EVERYONE, and I, being the Giles that I am, HAD to relieve some of the stress. SO...a trip to the bookstore. I purchased "The Cult Of Mac". So far, after reading only 13 pages, I have had one of the biggest questions of my life answered. It's hard to explain in text really, and I doubt this will make sense, BUT here we go.

As soon as I got my first Macintosh, I was obsessed. I am not alone. Now for those of you that are reading, you're probably saying "GEEEKKKK". True. However, and I quote "The Macintosh is more than a computer. It's a way of life...this book is about what it is to be a mac person. It gives insight into the greatest love and loyalties of any product in our era."- Steve Wozniak, Apple Co-founder

My question was...what kind of person am I? And I thought that I had answered this in the past couple of years. True. What I DIDN'T know was that I had answered this years ago, when I got my first Apple. Apple products look great. You want to touch them, feel them, caress them. It's not sexual, but it is sensual. Apple is innovative, the company makes things easy that were once a pain-putting pictures on the web, connecting to a wireless network, loading thousands of songs onto a portable music player.

I have a desire for nice things. Things I cannot afford. Not because I am stupid, or corporately brain-washed, but because I want to represent these things, live them in their most basic form. I want to look great, I want to be innovative, and I want to seem familiar, and "user friendly" to people. I don't want to be an Apple product, I just want to be looked at like one. I want people to take me seriously, but still realize that I like life.

So, first day with the car. Yay? It was neat. Me and Kayla went to see Jumper, sorta crappy movie...yeah. Anyways. I will write more tommorow.

Hi.
