april fools

last sunday i was awoken to the sound of my cell phone ringing. wondering who in the world would call me at such an early hour (8:05 am) i picked up only to hear my father ask me to do him a favour. being the kind hearted son i am, i was completely up to the challenge at hand. he told me that he and and my mother were at a tim hortons near my house and that they had some how gotten a flat tire and they needed me to call my sister and tell her to drive over and give them a hand of some sort. so in an act of loving service i did what my father asked and called my sister. it seems that she was also sleeping at this early hour of the morning and picked up the phone with a raspy voice wondering why in the world i would be calling. i told her the sad story about our parents miss fortune and she regretted to tell me that she was actually out of town for the weekend. now i was stuck between a rock and hard place because my parents, it seemed, were expecting my sister to rescue them from their unfortunate circumstances, but she wouldn't be able to come through. my parents also didn't have have a cell phone so i had no way of getting a hold of them, so i reverted to my most trusted and loyal neighbour, christian. i called him and he surprisingly had already been awake and said that he was feeling a little sick, but could hear the distress in my apparent desire to rescue my parents from their toil, so sick christian told me that he would be ready in five minutes and we would be off to the rescue - operation save my parents. i put a nice pair jogging pants on, a hoodie, and the first pair of socks i could find, i went to the bathroom then was ready to set out on my mission. determined to save my parents i walked into the living on my way to the front door, only to see my mother sitting on the couch with an enormous grin on her face. confused as to what excatcly was going on i looked at her with. and she started laughing at me like as if i was the biggest sucker in the world and said "APRIL FOOLS!" this is a true story i did not make this up.

new years resolutions

being that it is the first day of the year two thousand and seven, i think it is only fitting that i make some new years resolutions. but new years resolutions are very interesting things. they are rules that one gives themselves with the intention of breaking. so i should throw some out there that are good ideas and things i wish i did do but will never do. (disclaimer: none of these things i actually plan on doing, if someone feels they want to hold me accountable for them, realise that i do not plan on doing these things) first - i will write a blog once a week for the entire year. second - i will quit smoking (i don't smoke so i don't know how to go about quiting because i don't want to start to quit, i really just wanted to put that in there because it is the most common new years resolution). third - i will never be late for class. forth - i will eat three square meals a day. fifth - i will be less cynical towards establishments like the postal office, food basics, coca cola, and people who wear belts that don't match their shoes. sixth - i will stop buying baseball hats. seventh - i will learn how to use proper grammar and spelling for my blogs. this is my goal for two thousand and seven. looking back at two thousand and six, it was the first year of my blog, for all of you who have shared with me in the highs and low of the blog, thank you. happy new year
