Seriously! You just gotta trust me on this one…

This is great hahaha.

Thanks Daveed for passing this on to me.

To start, I’d like to welcome Rua to Pleasant Interruption. He is one Bad Dude.

To finish, I’d like to draw your attention to something ASININE.

The Ontario government is going to begin denying driver’s licenses to high school drop-outs. RIDICULOUS (needs more caps).

Taking away priviledges isn’t the way to get people to not drop out of school. Providing more co-op programs and apprenticeships (like they say they will in the article) WILL help. But to me this seems like they’re putting a band-aid on a situation that requires a real solution. This “solution” isn’t addressing the main problem (that being the fact that people are dropping out of school for various reasons: lack of choice in programs, pecuniary reasons, or just not “doing well” to name a few. And high school isn’t for everyone). You don’t need to have a high school diploma to be able to drive.

And no, before anyone asks, I’m not being facetious.

Read about it here.

After a year from Pleasant Interruption’s departure,
I hereby announce that I pledge allegiance to the blog.

My name is Rua Reasons, more or less he is a reflection of my filthy intelligence.

In this little space of mine in the world wide web, I welcome all those who look for a piece of uncommon sense. Those who about to speculate, I salute you.

I’m going to talk about three things:

Meterialism

Metaphysics

Wavemotion

Meterialism is about my stories about/within real world, here on Earth.

Metaphysics is about my jargons that have nothing to do with anything, anyone, anywhere. However it will be clear to those who know the true meaning of the life, of the universe. (I know it’s 42, but let us just save it for later.)

Wavemotion is where I lay my musical interests and deviants with/without actual waveforms in digital whether it might be *cough*illeg□l*cough*.

You can contact me with MSN/E-mail:the_real_vr@Hotmail.com

Thank you for reading it, folks.

Godspeed.

We must stop fooling ourselves. Space Jam was not a good movie!

I wrote my first exam on Thursday night and came back home on Friday to attend a karate Christmas party and this weekend I’ve just been chilling at home by myself which has been nice and relaxing.

I saw The Chronicles of Narnia tonight. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it but that’s not what I wish to talk about. I have all 7 books of the series and I’m currently on the 3rd book (I’m reading it in the order they were published, which is different from the ‘chronological’ order). As much as I was looking forward to watching the movie after having read the books, I feel somewhat disappointed. Not because of the quality of the movie, but because I already knew what was gonna happen. The movie followed the book almost exactly and as such I could predict almost every scene. It was weird, it felt like I had already seen the movie before. I’ve been planning on reading the Harry Potter books before watching the movies (I haven’t read or seen any of them) but now I’m kinda turned off from the idea of reading the books. In any case, it was a great movie so I recommend anyone to go see it.

It’s election season and all I have to say is that Stephen Harper is a douchebag. And his commercials are cheap-looking and stupid. End of discussion.

Speaking of politics, I really hate where our society is going with being “politically correct.” It’s getting bloody ridiculous. The latest issue is the use of the word “Christmas.” Some people have a problem with saying “Merry Christmas” or calling it a “Christmas party”…give me a break! Who CARES if it has a religious origins or relations. If anything, Christians should be the ones objecting to the commercialization of Christmas.

And speaking of religion, a friend of mine sent me an interesting article. It’s a bit long, but very thought-provoking.

Coming back to my nice quiet weekend back at home, I’ve come to the conclusion that I am and always will be a computer geek. It’s ironice how I’ve left Computer Engineering and now that I’m in the Arts I spend more time learning about programming. I’ve spent the majority of my time sitting on my computer learning PHP, MySQL and learning the inner workings of a website management system called Drupal. You see, I help run a website called www.uwstudent.org and I’m working on a new version of the website with all these nifties features to benefit UW students. It’s gonna be so awesome, and every student is gonna go there…oooh wow I’m getting far too excited about a website.

Have you seen this thing? How awesome is that? Kelsey Grammer is Beast! Somehow it just makes sense when you think about it. I think one of my professors would make a pretty good Beast too (anyone know a Professor. G. Hunter by any chance? I thought so. That will only be funny to 2 out of the 10 people who read this blog).

In other news, I woke up at 9:00 am this morning, a far cry from my regular 3:00 pm awakenings. I’ve finally shaken this nocturnal thingie, I think.

Amazing. Just… wow.

So I get a call at around 11:30 at night on Saturday from Mark asking me to come out to his show cause “there’s fucking nobody here” (I blame the cold, not the music). So Tony and I run for the Batmobile and get to the Thirsty Scholar at around 12:15 or so. Cait and Kate (if you don’t know who they are, then the names aren’t important) were there so we hung out with them until Mark was done his set. Hilarity ensued whem Mark invited me onto the stage to do one of my goofy dance routines.

This is where it gets weird.

This guy (Dancin’ Dude, he’s like 30 something) comes up to me after I’m done dancing and compliments me on my moves, saying “I want an opportunity to dance with you later!”

Okay, kinda weird. But I figured he was joking or something, right? Well, I was wrong. After Mark is done his set (he plays every weekend) a DJ called DJ Emmitt spins some dancin’ tunes. This is my opportunity to wow the ladies with my cat-like reflexes and gestulations. But this time, the Dancin’ Dude is going wild on the dance floor, effectively forcing people out of his way so he and his girlfriend can dance. We laughed about this, and carried on with our sillyness.

One of my favourite songs started playing, so I turned to my crew to start dancing to it. Dancin’ Dude takes this opportunity to tap me on the shoulder and says somethig along the lines of “I’d be honoured if you would dance with me and my girlfriend. Let’s show her the true power of two dancers.”

What did I do? I danced! But I didn’t know what I was getting into, because shortly after we three began dancing, he started calling me on (through dance)! And spontaneously, the crowd parted and we had a 10 minute dance off.

It’s Monday, and my back still hurts.
