If I had a title, it would be a play on words of some sort. LOL

Good day, peeps! How's it hanging? I'm well. I got seven hours of sleep last night, which is pretty lenghty for me these days. I woke up very refreshed this morning. But then I went to church and I got burned by holy water, so I didn't feel so good anymore. LOL I'm kidding.

First order of business, I would like to apologize for taking forever to reply to your comments in my previous blog. And I know I wrote in your blogs that I'd come back and comment another time, but then I, like, didn't. I'm terribly sorry about that. I read them all, but I'm just going to keep my comments in my head and treasure them for the rest of my life. Kidding!

Second order of business...is nothing.

Say, did you see the single most amazing event on TV last Sunday? The New England Patriots demolished the Tennesse Titans, 59-0. 59-0! The Pats destroyed them and while it was snowing, too! Tom Brady set a record with 5 touchdowns in one quarter. The most touchdowns I've had was 7 in a whole game. Tom brady had 5 in one quarter. He's a beast! The Pats were up 45-0 after the first half, and then in the first 4 minutes of the third quarter, they had another touchdown. Then CBS became a douche and switched the game to a "more competitive one" between Buffalo Bills and New York Jets. So, I swtiched channels, too. Some people on Twitter were complaining about how the Pats are clas.sless for running up the score, which is ridiculous. Just because the Pats were up by 59, it doesn't mean they have to stop playing well. They're professionals, it's what they're supposed to do. If anyone was being clas.sless, it was the Tens. It looked like they weren't even trying; they just wanted to make snow angels on the ground. Kidding!

My date with Laura that night was delayed. I had to finish the record-breaking game first. We went to dinner, the we saw Couples Retreat. It was like a hint after I put the game before her. LOL Kidding! I got a Laura a bouquet of assorted flowers and a box of chocolate the next day to make it up to her. Flowers say "I'm sorry" and chocolates say "I love you," right? I learned that from Lauren Conrad's dad back when Lauren was still in Laguna Beach.

Monday was a good day. It was sunny and breezy. I skipped one of my clas.ses and just layed on the grass outside to watch leaves fall from the trees. I liked how the wind made tree branches sway. I also liked how the wind went through the trees, rustled the leaves, and went out accompanied with falling leaves. I especially liked it when the wind picked up leaves that were already on the ground and swirled them around. Nature is awesome. Boom De Ya Da! LOL

Even though I skipped a clas.s, Monday was still a productive day. I had a two-hour lecture for one of my clas.ses, but I didn't feel like paying attention, so I just worked on some of my reports. For one of my reports that had a target of 1000 words, I spent 30 minutes on research and 30 minutes writing the report. Boom! 1074 words done in an hour. Then I worked on another report that had no target or limit on words. Boom! 21 pages, double spaced, 12 sized font done in an hour. Then I went to my next clas.s and I didn't pay attention, either. I worked on third report that had a limit of a 1000 words. Boom! 999 word in 27 minutes. That was such a productive 2 and a half hours, I was compelled to share with everyone I know, so I texted everyone on the contact list in my phone about it.

I had a midterm last Tuesday night, which was so easy, it almost felt like an insult. LOL Seriously, it wasn't hard at all. It was a midterm that was supposed to take 2 hours, but I was done in 35 minutes. Waiting for the bus took longer than that. LOL I took the bus to the parking lot because it was 7:40 PM and it was already dark and I didn't want to risk being raped on the way to my car. Also, because I was super tired that day. I only had 30 minutes of sleep because I went to see Lord of the Dance the previous night and I was up until 3 AM. It was worth it, though! The crazy leg movements left me in awe.

Wednesday was a crappy day. It rained the entire night from Tuesday to Wednesday, then it stopped for a bit, then it rained for the rest of the day. People were getting better before Wednesday, then it was back to having a symphony of coughing in clas.ses after all the rain.

Thursday was better than Wednesday. It didn't rain in the morning, so after work I went to my parents' home and raked the leaves on the back and front yards. That was a good exercise. Then I helped my mom decorate for halloween. We turned the garage into a horror maze again this year. We used to do that when I was younger. I was the mummy and I chased the other kids around the maze. LOL My sister, Kaitlyn, was the one with the goblin mask, who came out from behind the fake skeleton and my other sister, Karen, was the witch who laughed in the cackle-y way. My dad was Dracula and my mom was Female Dracula and they were the ones who let the other kids in the garage. We were a team. The maze won't be like it was back then, though. My sisters and I won't be in it, so my parents will just let the kids go inside and scare themselves.

On Thursday night, I went to Laval, Quebec for a basketball game. Some of the guys in the team slept in the bus, while I watched TV shows with the guys who didn't. The basketball game on Friday night was good. We won, 97-72! That win felt good because it was against the school who beat us in football championships last year. There was luncheon yesterday to promote inter-school harmony or something. I don't know, I just went for the food. Kidding!

I went home last night. The 8-hour bus ride wasn't as fun because there were no shows to watch, so most of us just slept. Sleeping upright in a bus is certainly not the most ideal sleeping position. I do not recommend it.

TV Talk: I figured this blog is long enough, but what the hey? I'll make it longer.
The Simpsons - The Tree House of Horrors episode was so and so.
Gossip Girl - That was the anticipated Chuck and other guy kiss? Seriously? I've kissed my guy friends better than that. Kidding!
How I Met Your Mother - I like how this show makes fun of Canada and how Barney thinks the Queen is Elton John. LOL
The Big Bang Theory - Wil Wheaton!
90210 - It's so dry, but we're still watching it because Laura believes it will get better.
Melrose Place - Still watching it for Katie Cassidy. LOL
Glee - No way slushies get thrown at jocks. Even if they start belting out songs in the hallway, there's no way. This show is bogus. I still love it, though.
Cougar Town - Busy Phillips is hilarious.
Eastwick - I'm starting to get into it, especially in last week's episode. I mean, hello, Jaime Ray Newman.
Modern Family - Definitely one of the best new shows this fall.
Castle - The halloween episode tomorrow looks promising.
Lie to Me - It was good, but not the best.
Heroes - Sylar's coming back. Whoo!
Parks and Recreation - Leslie Knope always makes things better. LOL
The Office - At first I was on Team Pam, but then I was on Team Michael. Team Michael deserves to be happy, too.
FlashForward - The last 5 minutes was awesome!
30 Rock - Alec Baldwin gets some of the best lines in this show.
Smallville - I felt that it was such a filler episode. LOL
Dollhouse - Go, Dichen Lachman!
Ghost Whisperer - I like the guy's security system in this episode. Not the best storyline, though.

There were no new episodes of The Mentalist, Fringe, Bones, and The Vampire Diaries last week.

This week is slightly less busy than the last. I have another midterm on Tuesday. In fact, I have a midterm each week for the next 3 or 4 weeks. I have more reports due this week. It's all good, though. I'm not procrastinating as much, so I'm getting things done.

I'm going to Laura's volleyball game after this. Then my grandparents will be arriving from LA and Miami and I'm giving them a tour around the apartment. Then we're all going out to dinner tonight. Oh, and I'm going to a Jay-Z concert on Thursday!

How about you? Any plans for tonight?

Hope you all have a great week!

That tonight's gonna to be a good night. That tonight's gonna to be a good, good night.

Hello! How is everyone? I'm well; I'm still winning in the game called life. LOL Today's nice and sunny. It's a bit chilly, but it's still nice. My buddy, Aaron disagreed with me when I said that it's nice out today.
Aaron: That is a bold-faced lie. It is ungodly cold today.
Me: Is it end-of-the-world freezing?
Aaron: Yeah.
Me: Will people die?
Aaron: Yeah.
Me: Will ducks freeze in mid-air?
Aaron: Yeah.
Me: Will horses eat each other?
Aaron: Yeah.
Me: Do you feel like you're going to see a mountie soon?
Aaron: Yeah.
Me: Dude, you grew up in Canada. Grow some balls and face the cold.


The past week was good. I had a basketball game last Wednesday and I scored a career high of 49 points. Yay! My dad wasn't able to make it to the game because he had a business dinner with a client. My mom was there to represent for the both of them, so it was all good. I miss my mom so much! I don't see her everyday anymore; I only see her on the weekends or when she comes to my basketball games. Now everytime I see her, I give her a big bear hug. I'm, like, regressing to the time when I was a boy and I wanted to be around my mom all the time. It's so unbecoming. Laura thinks it's sweet. I'm like, "No." LOL

I don't miss my dad as much as I miss my mom, which is good. I see him more often since I work with him. Yeah, not "for" him; "with" him. That's what my dad tells everyone. They don't work for him, they work with him. He has a way of making people feel good about themselves. For example, he wouldn't "fire" people, he would just "dehire" them. I hope he doesn't "dehire" me for not doing my job. LOL I was supposed to collect "unneeded materials" from other offices last Friday, but all I did was hang out in his office and watch TV. I even used his computer to check my e-mails and update my status on Facebook. My dad didn't mind; he even commented on the status update I posted on Facebook. LOL

After last Friday, I won't be a "collector of unneeded materials" anymore. It's not because my dad dehired me. Working on Friday afternoons conflicts with my schedule. I still work on Thursday mornings, though. I'm still going to park cars for lazyabled lawyers. I'll probably end up lazyabled in the future, too, but one thing I will not do is drive a convertible. LOL First, it's not practical in Canadian winter. Second, I don't need to compensate for anything; my ding is "dong" enough. Get it? And third, I don't fit in covertibles. LOL I had the hardest time getting in and out of a Z4. That car is made for people who are not tall. Seriously, everyone and their mothers should know that bit of information.

Anyway, last Friday night, I drove to Kingston with my buddies, Shayne, Rob, and Josh. We went to see our other buddy, Mike, and to watch a football game. My university played against Mike's university. It was a win-win for me because I support my university and I also support Mike, who's in the football team of his university. So, it was a Yay! for everyone involved ...except the football team of my university because they lost by a single point. It was a very good game, though. So, it's still Yay! for everyone. LOL

My friends and I stayed at Mike and Ali's apartment. Ali (Mike's girlfriend) said that it wouldn't be fair if only one of us stayed in the second bedroom, so she made us all stay in the living room. Shayne, Rob, Josh, and I had the hardest time going to sleep that night. We didn't want to have anything drawn on our faces, so we all stayed up together. LOL We fell asleep when we were too tired to care if we woke up in the morning with inappropriate drawings on our faces.

It was a good night, though. We got some bonding moments in there. We were being too loud at one point. Mike came out of their bedroom and we thought he was going to give us some "time-out" , but then he went, "Can I join?" LOL We had to be quieter after that because Ali was already asleep, so we just watched a movie. We watched The Timetraveler's Wife...because we're a bunch of little girls. I think we grew some ovaries after that movie. Kidding! We weren't really paying much attention to the movie because we had pretzels for snacks, which made us do our own versions of Kramer's "These pretzels are making me thirsty!" We did, however, pay attention to the movie everytime Rachel McAdams was in the scene. We paused the movie and just stared at her. Every time we paused, we all went, "Awww." Good times!

Near the end of the movie, I found myself rooting for a happy ending. Because I'm a manly man like that and I believe in all that is good. Not in Balloon Boys who make me genuinely concerned, just to have my emotional investment thrown back to my face. That was not cool. Things like this Balloon Boy hoax make me lose faith in the good in people. It almost makes me want to lose faith in Santa, too. Wait, what?

Anyway, this coming week is a lot busier than the last. I have a midterm, a couple of quizzes and a bajillion reports due this week. I have a basketball game in Quebec on Friday night, so I'm leaving on Thursday night and I won't be back until Sunday. Laura has a volleyball home game next Sunday, so she won't be coming with me. My grandparents are coming over next weekend. I won't see them the first couple of days that they're here, so they're staying for a whole week.

This coming week seems unusual weather-wise. We had snow last Friday, but this week we're going back to double digit temperatures. It's my fault. I shouldn't let Laura out often. Her hotness causes global warming.

Laura and I are going out for a date tonight. Yay! I hope the global warming thing earned me major points.

Quote of the Day: "Friendship is like peeing in your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel it." So, you should all thank your friends for being the pee in your pants.

Picture of the Day: The cutest little girl, ever!


Hope you all have a wonderful week!

OMG! A blog that is not posted a week after the previous one! Wow!

Greetings, TV.com-lings! See what I did there? Instead of Earthlings, I put TV.com-lings. I bet you never thought of that. Kidding!

Anyway, hey! How's it going? I'm well. I've just been hanging out at home with Laura. We've been playing Rock Band and eating Thanksgiving dinner leftovers all day because we have nothing to do. LOL

My Thanksgiving weekend was swell! The sun was out for the most part of the weekend; it was glorious! I had a great time with my friends and family. My grandparents didn't come this year. They've turned their backs to Canada and decided to celebrate American thanksgiving next month. I don't know them anymore. Kidding! No, they were busy; they had plans for the weekend, so they couldn't come. They're coming next, next weekend, though.

Last Friday, I went out on a date with Shayne. We went to a hockey game (our team won!), then we went for a stroll. Good times! We didn't want to go home after the game, so we invited our friends to see a midnight showing of Zombieland. We got text replies that said, "You sent out this invitation at 11 PM????!!!!! I'm already in my pjs!!!!!" LOL The people who sent those came anyway. They made me pay for their pop corn. Losers. LOL Kidding! Zombieland is pretty good; I liked it. I kind of wish I went home and just watched the zombie-themed episode of Smallville on TV for free, instead of seeing Zombieland for $10, though. Kidding!

My friends and I parted around 4AM, and Laura and I got home around 4:45AM. I'm usually on my way to school by 4:45 for practice, so I had no inclination of going to sleep by that time. I was awake for more than 24 hours from Friday to Saturday! Yay! Laura didn't go to sleep, either. We cuddled on the couch and just talked until we both fell asleep. We both slept through noon, then I went out to play tennis and golf, while she went shopping, with our other friends. Then the girls and the guys met up at Mike's place to watch Ghost Whisperer ("My mom's gay?), Smallville ("Aaarrrrgghhh!"), and Dollhouse ("I'm Keke.") from the night before. Loved the episode of Dollhouse! Viktor as Keke was awesome!

On Sunday, I went to church with my family and friends. Then we all had catered brunch together at my parents' home. The men had the basement for playing video games and watching football, while the women had the rest of the house for making dinner. Us guys only went up to get snacks because the ladies kept banishing us to our underground fortress of solitude. My mom actually rang a bell to call us up for dinner. A bell! LOL

The Thanksgiving dinner was really good! There was a lot of food and the turkey was massive. I envied the turkey because it probably weighed more than me. Kidding! There were tons of leftovers, so I felt kind of bad, but it turned out that the bad feeling was just gas. KIDDING! When the feeling passed, I ate another slice of cheesecake. I am such a bad person. LOL Kidding.

Some of my buddies stayed over after dinner and we watched The Simpsons, Cleveland Show, Family Guy, American Dad, and Dexter. The girls wanted to see Desperate Housewives, so we watched with them, too. Then us guys shot ourselves where it hurts the most with paintball guns to prove that we are still men. Kidding.

Random Stuff:
Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. Obama's awesome and all and I'm not saying he's undeserving of the award, but...really? "Extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples" can win one a Nobel Prize? If anyone's going to win a Nobel Prize it should be Bill Clinton for getting Euna Lee and and Laura Ling home. I think the Prize was awarded to Obama as a consolation because Chicago lost the bid for Olympics 2016. I'm kidding! Speaking of Olympics 2016, Laura and I will be going to Rio de Janeiro in 2016 for the Summer Olympics! We're going to London, UK for Olympics 2012, too. Mike and I planned on going on a road trip to Alaska on the summer of 2012, but that trip will be moved to the summer of 2014 instead. Hmm, from Barack Obama to my summer plans. I'm just a random ball of randomness, aren't I?

Marge Simpson is on the cover of the November issue of Playboy magazine. Have you seen it?

NASA landed stuff on the moon to "discover" things. I don't really know what happened; I was uninterested with this. LOL

Last random stuff: "Whatever" was voted the most annoying word in a poll. Glad to know I wasn't the only one who thought that word was annoying sometimes.

Next week, I'm going to see a production of Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance (the 19th). I'm excited for the crazy leg movements! I'm also going to Jay-Z's concert on the 29th. A production of Cirque du Soleil will be in town next month and I'm going to see that, too. And, lastly, I'm going to see Three Days Grace in concert in December. I'm all planned out until the end of the year. Yay! LOL

I don't have a Picture of the Day, but I do have Videos of the Day. Nick Pitera is awesome! His falsetto is unbelievable. He sings both male and female vocals in songs. Sometimes his voice cracks a bit when it gets too high. It's still pretty impressive, though. I mean, I can't get my voice as high as his and I'm a girl. KIDDING! Check him out!

A Whole New World -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9-CS2v8wcc
Don't Stop Believing (version from Glee) -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wceKiDBjFM
All I Ask of You (from The Phantom of the Opera) -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns-iXXKmzzU&feature=related

That's all I have for today. Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Kyle -- OUT!
