oh let's not be superstitious but it's friday the 13th today and guess what happened to me...
my alarm went off at 6:15 today and in my fuzzy half awake state i slap it off. as always. and crawl back into the covers. at 6:30 my mother comes in to wake me and tell me that i have to leave the house in 15 minutes. somehow i manage to do that...pull on some clothes in the dark, attack two slices of toast and splash some water on my face. oh i did pigtails this morning too. they were so cute. ^^ but nevertheless i'm about three minutes behind schedule.
anyway, here i am in the car, with my dad driving at this semi-maniac pace trying to make me make the train at dorval...u don't understand how crazy it is to chase a train on a pothole-infested side road where you can only go 30 m/h (which is i guess 50 in mntrl). i could see it but because of the stop signs at Every Single Block, just did not catch up to it. we arrive at dorval and i'd just put 10 bucks in my wallet. my dad stops the car, i jump out and run for the train.
small problem
i didn't zip up my bag
so i'm racing along the tunnel, i could hear the train leaving the station and i realized that things were falling out of my bag. *fruits and passions* as my bro would say. realizing that the train was a hopeless case and that i'd probably be late for physics at 8:15 i stopped and backtracked, picking up all the stuff that had fallen out of my bag in my rush to catch the train. i took inventory and realized...that my wallet was gone. i'd only gone a distance of...well...half a city block. not very far at all. there's only so many places a wallet could be. i had everything i had before...except for my wallet. in the space of 5 seconds some sap had taken my wallet. cripes man....
so how did the rest of my day turn out? i took the 211 and got to school on time.
didn't finish math homework.
got a million phone calls from my frenzied parents (anyone who knows my mother would understand).
got a rose *awww* from a friend at school.
went down to TD to freeze my bank account.
studied for a midterm.
skipped chemistry.
asked student services to keep an eye out for a phone call for my wallet.
took the midterm. think i did pretty well.
went home. ate. went to work.
billy scared me half to death (well i wasn't suppose to be reading...=P)
he came over. we watched VEGGIETALES silly songs countdown. i feel like such a little kid but it was so funny.
anyway, if anyone randomly happens to find my wallet, i might want it back. it has everything that identifies me as a member of society in it.

according to all exercises of logic and reason, mankind has become more and more evil.
well think about it. depressing as it may be, it's true no?
in the beginning, let's say around the Neolithic (New Stone) Age from 10 000 - 8 000 BC when they started developping agriculture and domesticating animals in the Balkan area (sorry i have a humanities midterm, can u tell?) people were already pretty bloodthirsty and barbaric. They killed things, things killed them. Now let's fast forward to the present. After these thousands of years of theorizing and teaching man to understand the common good and all things noble and true, we still do the same things. Except now we know better.
Coz before, bloodshed was regarded as a means of justice and was carried out with a clean conscience. Now? It's regarded as an abomination, but we still engage in this abomination and to a greater extent than before (think atomic bomb).
so much for what civilization has done to us.
and just for the record i don't usually have these thoughts of bloodletting and abominations. mostly it's warm and fuzzy luv. oh and i saw jeremy chan today =)

"hamburger lor...with lettuce, tomato, cheese." *chinese* "some people put bacon in theirs."
*chinese* "bacon? how can you put bacon in a hamburger?"
"hie lor, don't you just eat bacon like it is?"
"gross."
"bacon? isn't it just meen bao (bread)?"
"no it's ju yook (pork)."
"Oh BACON."
"what? bingo?"
*sister starts giggling hysterically*
"bacon. i was thinking of bagels. huun bang (...circle cookies?)"
"bagels aren't bang. it's bread..."
