Saturdaaaaaaaaay!

I missed my update again yesterday! Siiiiigh! I have an excuse though! I was entertaining my lover all day! After a VERY fun birthday Christopher stayed over here...

We slept in nice and late (10:00AM!), then got up and headed out to Ricky's for breakfast, we then wandered the mall a bit and couldn't think of what to do... I had to decide since I NEVER do so I said we could go downtown...

Downtown we went to the library and wandered there a bit, then we decided to go on a stroll around vancouver... We ended up on GRANVILLE street and I was SHOCKED they'd cut down all the trees :( It looks RIDICULOUS now! Anyways, on Granville we stopped by Tom Lee Music (I think that's what it's called, something like that) and looked around there... Christopher wanted a recorder so he could learn to play it again but didn't like any of the ones they had there. He had his eye on an Ocarina (OF TIME??? No...) but it was like $50... So I bought him a cheap plastic one :D He was very pleased and played it in the street as we wandered!

We ended up on Davie (how typical, I KNOW!) and wandered down there, we stopped at Starbucks so I could get fat then went to one of Christopher's favorite restaurants for lunch (it was this Italian place that serves lots of Pasta *eye roll* ha ha! He's lucky I like him so much!)

Then we went back to the car and headed back here where we just had time to get directions to... OH! Right, I didn't tell you about that... We went to see Gilbert and Sullivan's The Sorcerer put on by UBC's Gilbert and Sullivan Society, it was a wonderfully cute show and I LOVED IT!

Then I dropped my boy off at his friend's at UBC where he's spending the day hanging there... and I'm supposed to be writing my screenplay all day :P Bleh! I have SOOOOOO many opera dvds now I LOVE MY COLLECTION! I need to find time to watch more though!

Anyways kiddos! That's all for now! Love ya!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTOPHER!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTOPHER!

Yes, my lover is growing up! And, even though he, or anyone else, reads this I thought I'd SHOUT... SHOUT! Let it aloud... these are the things I can do without... COME ON! I'm talkin' to you... SO COME ON!

Tears For Fears, anyone?

Meh... Video below!

Hump day again!

What to say about today? I got up early, went to school and had my script ripped apart... It went pretty good. The changes they want are mainly just polishing of the plot and cutting dialogue down a bit, so no BIG worries there...

I then came home and went to Burger King with my sister... When we returned I talked to Sir Christopher online a bit and listened to SQUARESOFT MUSIC from my middleschool days. SIIIIIIIGH! I'd forgotten how much I love Squaresoft music. It's so beautifully composed! Back in October this thing came to town called Video Games Live that I REALLY should have gone to... but I didn't :( Stupid foolish me... Anyways I enjoyed that, watched this weeks American Dad (still a fun show) and the past 2 Degrassi episodes...

THEEEEEN! I went and picked up my Christopher and brought him back here where we now sit on my computers working away... Can't type long, have to read a script before bed kiddos! NIGHT NIGHT! LOVE YA!

I want...

ANOTHER CHOOSEDAY!

Shit... I forgot to blog AGAIN yesterday! MHLARG! I don't think I wrote anything yesterday either... LAME! Let's see... what happened yesterday. OH! Let's start off by welcoming back an OLD friend of mine...



THE PATTULLO BRIDGE! I didn't know how much I loved it til it was gone, and now that it's back. Siiiiiiiiiiigh! I'm in love. So yeah, in celebration of the bridge re-opening I drove to school yesterday.

We had Doc class in the afternoon, which was MEH... I dislike making Docs, so I'm kind of pissed this class isn't an elective, but whatevs... Then in the evening we had sketch comedy, which was decent... We just read our sketches... Mine did a lot better than I thought it would but still needs a lot of work.

During class Mr. Christopher texted me and asked if I'd like to join him again this Thursday to watch Sleeping Beauty with Tiana and Stephanie. I JUMPED at the chance! I'm SO excited! Then he's spending the night and we're going to see Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Sorcerer" presented by UBC on Friday night! YAY! ALSO! Thursday is his birthday so DOUBLE EXCITING! He's going to bake a cake... He won't let me bake him one, in case you're wondering why I'm not making one... I'll get him a LITTLE something I'm sure (probably my usual, but he'll love it: A Cherry Blossom and a copy of The Globe and Mail)

So, at the moment I'm writing this on the skytrain on my way to Port Short class and I'll post it when I can connect to the internet. I'm SLEEPY and the damn snow came down a bit this morning. I hope it dies and goes to hell!

I guess that's all for now kiddos! Adios for now...

50th POST!

YAY! So I haven't been smoking, I haven't been slurpee drinking, I've been writing daily (except that one day, but I wrote something for class that day :D), and I've been awesome!

So last night I was all alone and decided I wanted to do something, so I got on the computer and asked my friend Aja if she'd like to go to the opera with me to see Carmen. She said she'd be delighted to so we met up at 5 for dinner at WHITE SPOT, where we dicussed boys ;) and life and past lives we once led :P as we ate our yummy meals and drank Aja's yummy wine... Then we looked at our watches and it was 7:00! SHIT! The opera starts in 30 mins and we don't have tickets...

We get there to see "Sold Out" written on the signs and sighed and cried :P

BUT THEN! This man starts walking around asking "You looking for an extra ticket?" SHIT! Scalpers! And I don't have cash! "Let's run to the bank AJA! QUICK!"

So we head to the bank and hurry back, but the scalper man is gone :( No one else seems to be holding, so we're sad... THEN I FORCE Aja to go ask if there's ANYWAY we can see the show. The lady says "Well we have 2 seats left, but they're the highest price 175.00..."

We look at each other and say "*sigh* sure..."

"Hold on!" Another lady at the box office says, "Someone GAVE this ticket in... it's free..."

Aja and I smiled "We'll take that one and one of the expensive tickets!"

So we rush in, Aja and I fought over who would have to take the expensive one... She said I would and ran upstairs to her seat (which was 5th row balcony, so AWESOME view too) Mine was located in the orchestra around the middle of the theatre and was gorgeous view too. I was sat next to this WEIRD woman who wouldn't move when I needed to sit down, so I "accidentally" stepped on her feet! The show began and it was wonderful! Act one ended and I rushed out to buy Aja and I some wine...

We drank and I returned to my seat where the woman wouldn't move AGAIN! After I sat she asked if I was with the press. I told her "No" she asked if I were familiar with the show. I said "Yes, I've seen 2 other productions" I MEANT on DVD, but she thought I meant live and asked where... I decided to act cultured and said "London at the Covent Garden and I can't recall where the other one was to be honest..." She asked my opinion on the production and I said "Oh, well in comparisson to the Covent Garden one it's a much smaller scale of course, but it's a TERRIFIC job for a small opera company. She asked my opinions on Carmen and I said "She's actually quite wonderful. She brings a lot of spunk and character to the role. She really seems to be living it." BAH HA HA! The woman is TOTALLY going to use my opinions. She left during second intermission so Aja came and joined me for acts 3 and 4...

But honestly, it was A WONDEFUL PRODUCTION. I love Vancouver Opera and this production was another great one by them. The Carmen they chose WAS wonderful and DID bring a lot to the role. It was a GREAT NIGHT!

AND what we expected to be a WELL over $100 night turned out to only come to about $100 with the wine :D

A boy like me...

That's "A Boy Like Me" by Patrick Wolf... J'adore! It's a huge source of inspiration for the character I'm writing right now in my screenplay... I'm loving following structure, but I can't allow myself to be fully bound to it :( That's my problem... Even though I follow structure I can't let go of my intent... which is good, but makes it difficult in deciding what goes in... The following is LONG but explains the complications of creations so WELL! Mr. Sondheim is gorgeous!

On edge... Over thinker... Tales of a Crazy...

I'm bitchy!
I'm happy!
I'm sad!
I'm delighted!
I'm enthralled!
I'm excited!
I'm nervous!
I'm talkative!
I'm silent!
I'm thinking!
My mind's a blank...

I'm literally CRAZY right now! I'm not sure if it has to do with what my screenplay is bringing up in me, what my stupid overthinking mind is doing, what quitting cigarettes is doing to me, what... WHAT... WHAAAAAT! I'm not stable right now though...

I thought I was PERFECTLY fine today, I got up, went to breakfast with Christopher, dropped him off at the skytrain to go downtown, came back home, unpacked the rest of my stuff, started writing, then around 4pm... BAM! I had this cloud over my head, but then I'd have sunshine, then I'd have rain pouring down on me, then I'd be in fog...

As I drove Christopher home tonight EVERYTHING was going through my mind... Seriously, EVERYTHING in my life all at once. I couldn't focus on a song he was playing me because I was worried about (insert anything here)...

OH NOES! I missed a day...

Siiiiigh! So, yesterday it happened. I shall blame Christopher for keeping my attention all day and making me forget to blog... Umm, yesterday I had fun going from the new place to the skytrain and trying to find parking since the DAMN Pattullo Bridge is out of service. Yeah... thanks to that, the parking lots are SO jam packed people are parking on sidewalks... SIDEWALKS! BLAH!

But yeah, so once I found parking and made it to school I critiqued some scripts quickly then came home to unpack. After unpacking MOST of my stuff I went to get Christopher and we went to watch Cinderella (Gay, I know :D) at his best friend's place (who is incidentally the sister of a girl in my class, SMALL WORLD). That was a blast and we had fun reviewing the movie as it played out.

After that not much else happened, but we came back here and I'm now waiting for him to have a shower and get dressed so I can follow suit and we can go get a yummy breakfasty meal. OH! I gave him his birthday present and he liked it even though it wasn't QUITE what I expected it to be he still enjoyed it.

That's all for now lovlies... I'll catch you later.

Love,
Tyrel Boelsma!

PS - Still cigarette and slurpee free! THREE WEEKS KIDS!

Moooooooooving day!

So, today we moved. It was a long day :(

First I had a stupid hour and a half long class downtown so I had to pay fare going there and back... what a WASTE of money, seriously!

After class I made a quick stop at this store near my class called Sikora's. They sell classical music stuff there and I got my hands on an opera dvd I've been wanting called "From the House of the Dead" by Leos Janacek. I'm very excited to watch it! Maybe tomorrow night.

Looks like I'll be going to the Metropolitan screening alone this Saturday of Orfeo Ud Euridice...

I'm SO on edge right now... I'm VERY hormonal... STILL FUCKING CIGARETTE AND SLURPEE FREE!

Too bad! BAH HA HA!

My god...

... not smoking and quitting slurpees at the same time has made me SO hormonal... I get so upset over little things. Not like "I'm going to kill you!" upset... just "oh that sucks... it's probably because you're an idiot!" upset... and then I wonder why I think I'm an idiot... And then I start to think about stupid things I've done... And then I get appologetic about things... and then... BLEH! Stupid mind, BACK OFF!

So yeah, I didn't do ANYTHING tonight... Christopher wanted to stay in... Siiiiiigh! I'm such an ignorant child about relationships... Why didn't I try these stupid things out in high school like everyone else did?

Plans are a no go for Chooseday night :(

Not doing anything tonight now... :( I am sad...

Choose day Schmooz day!

So it's CHOOSE-DAY again, and I'm still Cigarette and Slurpee-free! Thank you! Thank you!

Today in class we went over our short scripts. PIGmalion went over best, it was VERY well recieved which excites me. The other two went better than I expected them to. I did the two bitchy teens in a restaurant as well as a sketch I'd written over the summer with a GAY character named Tristan. It's just him sitting on a bench smoking and reading Vogue as annoying people tell him smoking is bad for you. That one was, just that though, a sketch!

Anyways, I decided to go forward with PIGmalion (which I plan on being the one to shoot) and Bitchy Teens in a Restaurant (which I came up with a funny ending to during the read-through).

Tonight Christopher and I are going to do something. Not sure what, but something, and I'm excited! I miss him often, which I think is kind of strange, but so is A BUNCH of stuff about our relationship. The two of us are far from "conventional" for one another, but it seems to work... I would think he'd get pissed off at my ignorance on many things, but he seems to enjoy explaining things to me :D He probably thinks I'd get annoyed with A LOT of his things, but I just find them endearing...

Yeah, so I'm quite happy that I get to see him tonight and maybe tomorrow too. The skytrain ride home was DISGUSTING... people reeked of cigarettes and this woman's hand grazed my penis area for quite some time... I noticed some girls found my uncomfortable face amusing to watch and that made me a bit MORE uncomfortable. BLEH!

I worked out today. Hopefully I'll eat right and not get all tired again from this one. We'll see.

That's all for now kiddos! Catch you later!

Moron Monday

Okay, I'm sitting in Documentary class and writing this post in wordpad and will transfer this when I can connect to the internet. This guy in my class is pitching some documentary that would just be recording him and his friends smoking weed. That's it.

Chase Kantor Notes: "I don't want to say it's dull and unimaginative, but it has all the appeal of a magician shooting me in the face then charging me 35 dollars."

Today the second part of Christopher's B-Day present came in the mail. I was VERY disappointed with it :"( I'm not going to put what I got him, but I HOPE he likes it. Siiiiiiigh!

I have stupid classes ALL day today. Documentary 1-4pm, Lecture 5-6pm, Sketch Comedy 6-9pm... This is laaaaaaame! But at least I get Fridays off and every second Wednesday.
Not much else to report on today kids... That's my exciting life today! WOOT! Adios!

Sunday is the day of packing?

BLEH! Siiiiiiiiigh! I'm taking a break right now from PACKING!

I did my 2 shelving units (which contain enough DVDs and Books for 4 shelving units) and filled 4.5 boxes... Jesus I have a lot of crap! I need to take down all my posters :( and empty this room out :( I don't particularily care for this place but I AM sad that I'm leaving... sort of... I'm going to miss a lot about this place, I'm sure.

Bleh... That's all I really have to say about that... I wrote my script last night for "PIGmalion" and LOOOOOOOVE it! I hope it gets good responses at the read on Tues. I still need to write 2 other shorts, but Siiiigh I need some inspiration, with this one Christopher told me to write about Pygmalion so I thought this was DEADLY funny if you compare it to the original story... The others I'm not feeling it yet... maybe I'll get inspired as I pack more and listen to my music loudly :D

Adios for now strangers! Still cigarette and slurpee free!

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y!

So, let's see... Today was interesting. I got up extra early to get ready to go to the movie theatres with Christopher to see "La Damnation de Faust" as part of the Metropolitan Opera screenings. It was a BEAUTIFUL production and had some good pieces in it... but overall the story isn't really there. It's missing a lot. The staging was SO WONDERFUL though. It was this new technology on giant screens that uses the body heat of the actors to morph the images projected... I don't really know how to describe it, but it was TOO COOL SERIOUSLY! Christopher and I enjoyed ourselves, but both agreed that we probably wouldn't watch the whole thing again, just highlights...

After that I took Christopher into Langley so he could pick up this videogame he'd seen in a store. An NES version of Star Wars in the original box with the instructions and adverts :D I have to admit, it was pretty cool! Then I took him up to my part of town where I dropped him off at the skytrain to go spend some more time in Van visiting old friends he hasn't seen in years. I got a little sad when I was dropping him off and I think he felt bad... As I drove home I texted him to let him know that I was sorry to be all pouty and to actually have a good time and not worry about me being stupid :D Afterall, he has known them longer and it's a HUGE transition probably moving back over here... Siiiiiiigh! Luckily, he wasn't upset with me...

Ugh! STILL cigarette and slurpee free... but was EXTRA hormonal today about everything... Little things set me off as angry or crying :( Meh, I'm going to be healthier in the long run and I never get really angry...

I went to the library and got some DVDs I'd ordered and decided to see who was available for hangout. Lucky for me, Aja was! SIIIIIIIIGH! We met at the library then went to dinner at White Spot where we had WONDERFUL conversations about EVERYTHING. She's an awesome person and I look forward to future hangouts!

That's really all that went down today... OH NO! Actually, I went to pick up Angela from work and bumped into an old friend, David, from Middle School. I'd recently chatted with him online but it was nice to see him in person! We're supposed to do a game-night sometime in the near future of Karaoke games :D

More on a friday?

Hi kiddos. I'm back, I was just listening to some Patrick Wolf as I wrote some more of my screenplay for school... Which I'll do a quick write-up on since none of you know WHAT it's about! Ha ha! Mmmk, well I was listening to Mr. Patrick Wolf, which got me thinking of why I like Patrick Wolf, and the reason behind that is my VERY talented friend Beric Manywounds (who directed the above video in our film program). The kid is a genius in my eyes and I love him to death... He's recently gotten engaged to his boyfriend and there's few-to-no people I could be happier for... He's a wonderful and really taught me a lot about who I am in many ways (as a gay male, as a native, as a human being, as...) he's got a beautiful mind and UGH! I dream of one day watching his music videos all day long!

So, my movie... It's about a gay boy named Mark. Err... I'll just give a brief description of the plot actually, probably easier.

It's called "...a good time..." So, Mark and his best friend Sarah are in their grade 12 year of high school and spend their time wandering around their small town criticising everything around them. The movie opens with Mark and Sarah wandering around Liquidation World looking at crap, Sarah talks about how she's going to get a big bed when they move in together next year. Mark says he's only moving if he get's a scholarship. Mark has to go to the bathroom. In the bathroom Mark finds a number on the bathroom wall and runs to tell Sarah about it. They call the number and Steven (30 years old) answers. Mark flirts a bit, but Steven seems interested in going on a date and not a quick hookup and hangs up. Mark and Sarah lookup his info online using his number and watch him water his garden. That night they destroy his garden. The next day they drive past and see Steven is visibly upset as he talks to a neighbor. Mark feels bad, but Sarah just laughs. Mark calls Steven and has an actual conversation with him before setting up a date with him. Steven is a gay writer and activist, it turns out. Near the end of their date Mark and Steven bump into Sarah who awkwardly excuses herself away...

And yeah, the plot goes on, but I won't bore you with more of it... that's the setup of how it goes.

That's all for now kiddos... I'll leave you with another video from Beric Manywounds that he made for second year... GENIUS! I wish I had seen the final product but he didn't release it because he was upset with the turnout :( I'm such a fanboy of his UGH! I love him!

Freaky Friday!

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH! I'm on a high right now because I just finished Lohengrin by Richard Wagner! Wonderful! Truly Wonderful! Now I have to watch act 3 of Die Meistersinger Von Nurnberg and I've seen all his operas. He does no wrongs! Seriously! I'm amazed by him! He's just like Sondheim, he only does GREAT stories!

Hmmm, what else? Tomorrow Christopher and I are going to see The Damnation of Faust at Colossus, I'm VERY excited about that!

I wrote some more of my script last night! I'm loving it! Tee hee! It's so much fun to treat it like it's a television show.

Today... I'm going to get a television with Angela for the new place and maybe some food... that is all for now kids! Catch ya later! Still CIGARETTE AND SLURPEE FREE (2 weeks on smoking tomorrow!)

Thickle Thursday...

Just a clever title... I don't think it'll actually be a thickle day, and I'm not even SURE that's a real word... I think it means something like ignorant?

Anyways! I had a wonderful sleep last night. But before that I wrote! I planned out my entire movie that I have to write this semester and it's WONDERFUL! It follows formula to a t and I love it! It's like an extended episode of Degrassi with bad language and questionable situations! I use exclamation marks a lot, meh! I also use ... a lot. I can't remember the word for that for some reason and am too lazy to look it up.

BUT YAY! I've got my script planned out and I think on my free time tonight and tomorrow I'll write it up! Hopefully the whole thing!

That's all for now kiddos! Oh, still cigarette and slurpee free, still missing Christopher (but hoping he's having a blast because he doesn't get to see his friends often since they're all over the place... ) and still amazing! That's all!

Humpday again...

Wow! It's hard to believe a week has passed already since I posted the last "humpday" post. Hmmm, well, today was nice. Christopher had a doctors appointment this morning so we decided to hang out afterwards. I picked him up and we watched Act 1 of Lohengrin (the only Wagner show I've yet to see :P) and hung out here a bit, then went to the mall and got hotdogs and orange julius' :D I just got back in not too long ago from dropping him off at SFU where he was meeting up with his best friend to hang out.

Siiiiiigh! I miss the boy already! I've grown quite fond of him... I wish I could see him more often, but I'll have to take what I can get... Still Cigarette and Slurpee free... 2 weeks for Slurpees today! :D I think a week and a half for Cigarettes. I'm doing pretty good! Keep it up kiddo!

Now I'm all mopey because I didn't get to see him longer... I'm going to watch the second act of Lohengrin and pretend he's telling me facts about it as it goes on ha ha!

Adios for now kids!

OH! PS Actually- I watched this CUTE opera called "The Cunning Little Vixen" by Janacek and it was divine! It has a really sad ending though... That's all for now!

Memory...

In grade 11, my best friend Larissa sang this song in her choir class. I'd just gotten my license so me and my sister drove down to watch her. My other friends Desiree and Jackie were there and we cheered really loud for her. The principal got mad at us for only cheering for her and "being obnoxious"... Good memory!

Toonie Tuesday? Nope-o!

Hmmm, today was meh... I got up bright and early to trek downtown to pitch my 3 shorts to the class (that went REALLY well actually!) Then remembered I had to stay til 1:15 to have an interview to go over how things were... It lasted like 3 mins because I just said "Fine, except for this interview..." And we had a laugh!

The pitches I did were:

1) Pigmalion: An abused house-wife convinces her husband she wants to do role-play in the bedroom and tells him to dress like a pig. She makes him do Pig-like things then kills him. The final scene she cooks bacon and enjoys it!
(BAH HA HA! This one got some looks :D But mostly good response :P)

2) Teddy Bears' Picnic: In a Blair-Witch style film, 2 hunters go in search of the "Teddy Bears' Picnic" to get the goldmine of bear pelts. They come across the picnic only to be captured, murdered, and eaten by the bears... Then the final scene is the bear's "Mommy's and Daddy's take them home to bed..." like in the song :D

(Tee hee! More looks given for this one too :D But honestly! The song is CREEEEEEEPY! I was driving Sir Christoper home the other night and he played THAT version... SOOOOO CREEPY! But again, good reponse for the most part!)

3) Not a full plot, but bitchy teens in a restaurant criticising everyone around them. The waitress wants to be their friend and tries to join in but they snub her... So she...

(Yeah, good response to that one, mainly because they know I can write bitchy boys and girls...)

And that's all for now kiddos!

- T.

Manic Monday... nope...

Still cigarette and slurpee free...
Woke up sore this morning but decided it was a test and worked out anyways...
It was... I feel great!

Got to hang with Christopher last night :D We hit up Denny's and were highly entertained by a group of girls (who I thought were teenagers, but turned out to be well in their 20s) talking about girly things with their "gay" friend who they asked if he had a girlfriend yet :( aww... It was a fun night though :D Not much else to report on kids! Tomorrow I have to pitch my 5 shorts... We'll see how they go over and if I even have 5 by then ;)

Adios for now!

On sunday morning...

So, I did my second cardio workout today... (not sure if I mentioned I was starting that again yesterday, but I did)... Yesterday was a BIIIIIIITCH to do! I was SO out of shape. Today was much easier. I'm hoping to do 2 weeks of cardio to get back in shape in that sense, then do alternating days of cardio and muscle. My body was PISSED at me for being so lazy over the break.

Still cigarette and slurpee free! YAY! Keeping this shit up!

Not much to report on today. OH! I went to Ikea with Robida (classmate) and Aja (other VFS student in the makeup dept) last night then hung out here playing singing games...

That's all for now lovelies!

- Tyrel

I woke up this morning... starts when I fell out of bed... Well, almost.

In my dreams last night I decided to jump off my bed and luckily woke up just in time to see what I was doing. Siiiiigh! I'm CRRRRRAZY. Not much to report on today. I need to come up with 5 short film ideas by Tuesday, siiiigh. I also need to figure out EXACTLY what I'm going to write for my feature. Since I could care less about feature writing I think I'm going to treat it JUST LIKE a Degrassi episode, but extend it out to be an hour and a half. Like maybe I'll follow the structure of the Degrassi movie and work off that. Same sort of plot, but following TV structure so I can figure my shit out. I also think I'm going to make the main character 16 and see how that goes.

Mmmmm... So I had a nice drive with Christopher to the ferries yesterday. We discussed some Wagner and the shows I had watched as well as other random things. I went for dinner and shopping at Chapters with Angela last night, where I finally bought the Special Edition of Ghost World because it was on sale :P... Then I went for Dairy Queen dessert with my friend David in Richmond. All in all it was an okay day. Somewhat boring, but not uneventful.

OOOOOOOOOOOH! I got my copies of The Ring of the Nibelung comic books by P Craig Russell in the mail yesterday! The ones I told you about back at the start of December... Yeah... So... That's all for now kids! Check ya later!

OH! Still Cigarette and Slurpee free! Over a week for both!

- Tyrel

PS- While looking for the links to annotate my post I came across this http://www.ringdesnibelungen.com/en/animation/index.html it's a shame they stopped doing it. The opening to Die Walkure is ALMOST exactly how I pictured it.

FRRRRRRRY-Day!

Hey bitches!
Just up early again, definately seems to be a new trend (which is good, if I'm going to go to the opera tomorrow it's early in the morning :D) Just waiting for Christopher to get up so I can go pick him up and take him to the Ferry... I'm listening to Britney Spears and singing along. (Trouble in case you were wondering).

Last night I watched TWO Wagner shows I hadn't seen yet: The Flying Dutchman and Tannhauser, and what did I think of them...? AMAZING! The Flying Dutchman production I watched was SO AMAZINGLY AWESOME! They play the whole thing off like the main character is CRAZY and imagining all the events that are happening and it works SO WELL!

The Tannhauser production I watched had good acting and music, but the staging was retarded! They made it all set in wastelands... it looked stupid! But I got the story and the acting, so I loved it still!

Still smoke and slurpee free. (Over a week for Slurpees, Tomorrow will be a week for Cigarettes) Keep it up kiddo!

Adios for now lovelies!

BOO!

Hey bitches! Hmmm... So, I'm up at an ealier hour again today (and it seems I will be tomorrow too, new trend?) So yeah, I DID get to see Mr. Christopher yesterday feeling much better, which was wonderful. We had a small adventure around the mall and went to Boston Pizza. We then ventured back here, to my place, and watched the third act of Gotterdammerung (the fourth and final part of Wagner's Ring Cycle) And I cried AGAIN... not so much at the very ending this time... more so during... well I'd suggest you watch it bitches, it's THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD (as I've said before)...

Hmmm, so yeah, tomorrow I'm taking Christopher to the Ferry's bright and early. It's a nice drive out there :D... I'm listening to The Killers newest album AGAIN... The first 7 songs, SERIOUSLY GOOD! Addicted at the moment.

Still smoke and slurpee free... KEEP IT UP TYREL! WE CAN DO IT!

Humph... I guess that's all I have to say for today so far. Update later if anything happens...

Hump day rain

Hmmmm... What to say? I went to bed early last night 10:30pm-ish... and slept til 8:30 this morning... So now, hopefully, I'm on a bit of a schedule. I chatted up Christopher a bit and am waiting on a decision from him whether I should try and pick him up or not as I get lost in YouTube Videos and what little music I have on my laptop right now. I'm sitting in front of my sliding glass doors watching the rain come down and melt this EVIL snow! BAH HA HA HA! I love the destruction of the snow!!!

Hmmm... I still haven't had a cigarette or a slurpee... So, Friday was the last day for Slurpees and Sat was the last day for Cigarettes... Let's hope I can keep this shit up!

I guess that's all for now though... Hopefully I'll do something today. Meh, catch ya later hoes!

Kinda hot shit!

Kinda hot shit indeed! My cousin posted this link earlier on facebook and I kind of love it ha ha! My Brit Brit is missing, but whatevs, still kind of fun. A mashup of the billboard top 25 songs from 2008...

Boring days...

I had a rather boring day today... I stayed in all of it sore in the muscles, eyes, and head. I'm wondering what's going on with me... Am I just not eating enough Protein? is it normal to be THIS sore after workouts? Whatever... Hopefully I'll see results soon enough.

But anyways, yeah, I stayed in and watched Richard Wagner's last opera "Parsifal". It was MARVELOUS! The version I watched today was the 1982 Syberberg Version which is a STRANGE thing indeed. It's the opera, but shot on a sound stage with strange sets and actors who are dubbed over by other singers. It was really quite cool though. I'd seen 2 film versions of operas before this, so I didn't care about the dubbed voices. The story is TRULY wonderful. I don't think I could do it justice in describing it... So I'll let wiki do that for me... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsifal

Also, if you want to read the libretto to this or any other Wagner shows, check out this site: http://www.rwagner.net/e-t-opere.html it's wonderful...

I stayed away from Cigarettes and Slurpees all of today and shall try to do the same tomorrow... one day at a time, right? And once I get to two weeks or so, I should be fine... That's how it was last time at least...

Hmmmm, Oh, I have school tomorrow. But only one class this week. My lover is feeling better now, so hopefully I'll get to see him sometime this week, sigh... I miss him! And there's an opera screening this weekend at Cineplex theatres of La Rondine that I'd like to see with him... Sigh... We shall see...

OH! I should be starting to move into my new place next week sometime :P So, that'll be cool... pictures shall be posted when I do, it's SUCH a strange place!

Hopefully I ate enough protein today to keep rebuild my muscle for tomorrow... We shall see... I guess I'll be off to bed... night night lovelies!

January 4th Resolutions...

Yeah, that's right! I'm not sticking to New Year's damn "norms"...

Okay, so, I was SUPPOSED to be only having one Slurpee on Saturdays... But this break I've completely broken that rule and (even though I've had WAY less than my normal consumption) I'm still disappointed in myself...

So, resolution number 1... WEEN off the Slurpees... Cold Turkey might be a bit too hard (I did it 2 years ago for like 5 months, but I was stronger then and had decided I was going to lose weight...) So yeah, I'm going to have as FEW as possible and if I feel I REALLLLLLY need one, siiiiigh, I'll get a small. (I HATE smalls, they're ridiculous! When for 50 cents more you can get over triple the amount...? But no, I shall stick to this.)

Resolution number 2... Keep up this working out at least 3 (but hopefully more) times a week. I'm determined to have a nice body at least once in my life, and if it only lasts a short while, meh, at least I can say I had one...

Resolution number 3... Smoking :( UGH! I'm disgusting... I usually smoke at parties and stuff, but I've been sneaking them every now and then (well, let's not lie, OFTEN) and this has to stop too... SO! I'm going to lock up the cigarettes I have left and, again, ween off them... I've done this before too... so COME ON TYREL, let's do it again... Find other ways to deal with stress... Masturbation? Perhaps... Sex? Oh, that would be very nice, we'll see though :P It'll probably be a BIG combination of both.

Resolution number 4... continue writing daily... even if it's just this stupid blog that goes un-read. I shall carry on writing SOMETHING daily.

Annnnnnnnnd, I think that's it, OH! No, actually, I'd like to continue reading more again. I was doing SO good in the summertime with my reading. I read TONS of classics, but I should keep this up again...

But yeah, that is all for now. Adios!

OH, PS- I got my car out of the parking lot and stole the bitch with the white car's spot (which was originally my spot anyways!) HA HA! Take that cunt!

Sunday in the Apartment with Tyrel...

So I got home around 1-ish from Sawn's last night and had a lot of fun parking because this douche in a white car took up pretty much 3 ("not one, not to but THA-REE!") spots.

Then I went to bed and had a nice LOOOOOOOOONG sleep! Then I got up and worked out listening to Britney and danced around a bit. I'm THIIIIINKING of attempting to get out of my parking lot, but I hate all the "helpful" people that come watch if you're stuck... BLECH!

Hmmmm... Not much else to report on today kiddos... But if you enjoyed the video link above... You'll love this:

It's old, but never seems like it... SIIIIIIIGH! Stupid bitch, I love her!

Saturday... in the snow...

Almost didn't post anything today... Not much to report on kiddos. I'm TIIIIIIRED slept a lot and finished reading "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" which was wonderful. Not AS good as "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" but still really good.

Then I went out for dinner with Sonya, Nathan, (two friends in North Van) and Angela (my sister). I wrote a bit of my screenplay for school and... that's about it. Oh, and it snowed quite a bit.

Still at Sonya's so going to go back to the lovelies!

ANNNNNND...

And what the hell?

A Memory...

I had a memory of a story I loved in Grade 7 today...

It was in my Humanities 7 textbook and was set in Mesopotamia (I BELIEVE...), it was about a dog. The story was about this boy who lived in some village and had a dog as a pet. He loved the dog a lot. Then one day a volcano (or some natural disaster) hit the village and he had to evacuate with his family. To the boy's horror, his dog had to be left behind. The dog sat in the family home as the volcano (?) attacked the city... Cut to thousands of years later, an archeologist is digging up ash in the city and comes across the bones of a dog and wonders what it's story could have been...

I remember I CRIIIIIIIIED about this... It was such a wonderful story to me back then and now I can't find it. But yeah, the boy loved the dog, the dog loved the boy, the dog died alone and was thought of thousands of years later... so operatic! WONDERFUL! Truly wonderful!

Am I the only one that thinks this?

Nothing changes on New Year's Day...

Bonjour reader (if you exist)!
So, last night made me feel OLLLLLLLD! Siiiigh! I went to Larissa and Nick's place in Van for Larissa's b-day get together with Angela, Gordo, and Terrill (it was his b-day too). We hung out and drank a bit and by 10pm I was TIIIIIRED! 10PM! We left shortly after 11pm and celebrated the new year while driving home, ha ha! It was kind of nice though, as we crossed a bridge and it turned fireworks went off from somewhere!

We just listened to music and talked and that's what we do now. Terrill was the last of us to be a teen and he turned 20 last night :(.

I was the designated driver and as I drove the drunks home I listened to my ipod through my stereo and sighed when "Graduation" by Vitamin C came on followed by "When You Were Young" By The Killers.

------------------------------------------------------

I listened to the The Killers' newest album today and quite enjoy the first 6 songs on it. The others are good too, but the first 6 really get to me. Especially:

A Dustbowl Fairytale

This is Your Life

Anyways, love you all! Adios for now!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU!!!
