its finally OVER!

So the G20 Summit is finally over and done with...but apparently people arent through with their protesting yet...its still going on downtown....
i worked the G20 summit weekend and it got a little crazy...who knew people could get so crazy....what started off as peaceful protests turned into mini riots....WTF?!?....it was a mad mess downtown with stores being broken into and police cars being torched....which leads to all the core downtown hospitals being on lock down....there was a blockade of police blocking off protestors from getting onto the street of hospitals....it was pretty crazy but kinda cool stuff....nonetheless, im a little ashamed and appalled that people were as disruptive and psychotic as they were over the weekend....i understand the whole protesting thing, but the rioting...that was uncalled for and stupid...at the end of the day...those crazy mofos ruined it for everyone, they were not protesting for a cause, and they made all the other peaceful protestors look bad....all in all it was one big mess....staying downtown over the weekend was an experience in itself....constant helicopters circling the downtown core...i could hear it over my ipod....and massive groups of police at corners is an interesting sight...but im glad its done and after all of it....was it worth the 1.1 billion dollars?....o gad... hELL NO...can these people not just meet on an online net meeting?!...save everyone the hassle and security issues?

not to mention, it was a bitch and a half to get home after it was all done...a crazy thunderstorm flooded streets and protestors blocked major intersections....after 2 days of craziness, i just wanted to go home....

Goodbye G20, i hope you never come back again, and to my stupid government...thanks for wasting my tax dollars!

G20 booo

Its 3 days before the G20 summit lands in Toronto....and the city looks freaking scary....driving to work yesterday was an interesting experience....we have freakin 10 ft high fences...yes fences up all over the downtown core filled with swat looking cops at every freakin intersection....it looks like we lived in District 9......with major road blocks in the core of the city....its a hell of a mess....this G20 business is quite frankly just annoying ...and the genius that decided to bring it to the core of downtown is a absolute moron...I understand that the meeting is necessary and all that but is it really necessary to bring all that security and maddness to downtown Toronto??.....as if traffic on a day to day basis isnt hell enough...lets bring 20 of the biggest world's leaders to downtown so we can shut down our financial district .....and to top it..the geniuses decided to build a man made lake in the middle of downtown....their reasoning behind this is to provide a place for the world leaders to experience Canadian cottage country...WTF?!?...you're kidding me right?...the real lake is like 5 mins away...and if u want to experience cottage country then move the G20 up north to where you're holding the G8...away from the city....its ridiculous how a man made lake is considered more important than investing our tax dollars into health care or something else more relevant....thanks Canadian government...another example of how you waste our tax dollars.....and what the hell are we going to do with this lake afterwards?....so stupid....and i have to work those 2 days ....great....the hospitals are right in between the areas of expected protests...even better....

on the brighter side...its FIFA TIME!!...i love the world cup...every 4 years we finally get to watch quality soccer in North America....and soccer players are definitely the best looking athletes....no wonder its the most beautiful sport in the world.....Im hoping Spain and Portugal will pull through....





how can you NOT like soccer....just Rinaldo and Torres alone is reason enough...

Wheres the sun at?

its a crappy gloomy day, its been a cooler week this week, all rainy and crappy....im not a fan....i need some sunlight...i'd like to sit outside in the sun and eat my damn cotton candy ice cream.....today is the first of my 2 weeks off....sweet...its been a couple of shitty days at work....glad im not back for a bit...just have some committee stuff to deal with next week....



so mtv has a new show out....Downtown girls...the concept...i think they're trying to ride off the sex and the city wave, its basically "real life" sex and the city.....watched the first epsidoe today...it seems somewhat entertaining...theme for the episode...recycling exes? interesting concept...honestly its pretty apparent that its doomed from the beginning of the episode...the girls decide to throw a party, invite all their exes and perhaps trade exes?...um...personally...even though exes are exes for a reason, im not sure id want my best friends to be dating them...or better yet...witnessing them making out with one....so thats exactly what happens in the episode...and surprise surprise, jealousy is in the air.....but really...did they really expect this to work out? would you really want to see your ex walk down the aisle with your best friend?....thats just weird....and the party also resulted in the girls wanting their exes back....not surprising at all either...now that just starts whole other problem...

i dont know why but im a sucker for mtv shows....i think ive watched almost all the brain cell killing shows on mtv...its like my guilty pleasure....i love them....this might be another one that will make it on my list....which reminds me...i have yet to see the new sex and the city 2 movie....

Officially Done!!

So its official, i attended my convocation yesterday and it all comes to a lovely end....another 2 years of school done and now what??.....ive been getting that question for the last year..."so what are u going to do with your life now??" ....good question...i have no clue...but i think im going to take some time off to figure it out...im not sure why everyone expects you to have your life planned out all the time....everyone expects me to find an APN job now and thats it....no...thats not my plan...i finally have time to myself now, ive spent the last 20 years of my life in school and being responsible...i think its only fair that now its MY time...for once to step out of the box and do what I really want...not whats expected of me....

As for my convocation....so glad it didnt rain but the field in the court was all muddy and gross from the rain the night before....it was a long ass ceremony and we were the last program to be presented with our degrees but it was great because we are finally done.....

booked for vacation in August...YAY!! ive realized i cant stay here for more than a few months without wanting to go on vacation....too long....im starting to think i work to travel....i think i can be content not ever owning property but traveling every chance i get instead....seems like a good trade off to me

week off

its been a hectic month of May....ive been working alot in the past month...probably more than ive worked since school started....
so theres 2 days left until my convocation...its a weird feeling...2 years of school has gone by soo quickly and im going to be officially done .....
another chapter completed and its time to move on...finally took the English test i need to get my application package for the UK....it was an interesting experience...especially the verbal part....its like an interview with the examiner, i spent 15 mins talking about foood....it was pretty random..but im glad its over....2 weeks until i get my results and i can hopefully start the actual paper work soon...cuz the plan for the UK doesnt seem real until i actually start the paperwork ....im gettin excited..cant wait to go
