And then it hit me....

I have less than 1 week left in New York..... :'( Well, it came up to me And asked me if I wanted a glance It looked kind of nice And so I said I might take a chance When I glanced it held my eye And when I walked home later that night All the stars were shinin bright And then it hit me...

5th Annual BBQ!

On one summer day back in 2003 Anojan was thinking to himself how nice a day it was and how much he likes to eat food. How much he likes to eat food that is grilled. And being the nice guy that he is, he invited a few of his friends to a simple little BBQ in the park. From that small gathering of 9 or so Waterloo CS guys (and a couple girls) began the Annual Summer BBQ, last year..... I think we had about 25-30 ppl or so. Its a day of eating, and games, and eating, and sports, and eating, and water balloon/shaving cream fights which for some reason always involve ganging up on Ahmed and chasing him around the park...outside the park, over the fence, through the parking lot of the senior citizens home, the park parking lot, through the woods, back in the park and then still not getting him! mouahahhhaah....ok maybe they slightly got me last year at the end...... :( Oh and then possibly some eating. So this year will be the 5th Annual BBQ and it'll be on Saturday July 28th. In Scarborough. And every single other detail is still in the works hehe. So if I know you and you're in the area. Feel free to ask for more details and come :) If your some entirely random stranger I've never spoken to, well I think it'll have to stay that way for now. Here's some pics from BBQ of past. 2003 2004 2005 Here's some pics from last year, the 4th Annual BBQ. And heres a video of some evil friends chasing me with water balloons

What dreams may come...

Have you ever had a dream in which you weren't human? I was talking to a couple of friends recently about dreams and they said they hadn't so I was just wondering how common it is. We were talking about dreams and then of nightmares. I haven't had a nightmare for years and years. But when I have in the past it has almost always been about death. Not my own, but people around me that I care about. There is however one exception, and its in that dream that I'm not human. What I am is a ball in a square room. And I slowly bouncing (well more reflecting than actually bouncing) off the walls. Like an old school video of pong. And I have no control over the direction I'm going or the speed I'm going at. I don't know what it means, I've actually never tried to analyze it. But as as kid it was pretty scary. Aside, I'm approaching my 10,000th hit. My counter is in the right column, take a look and leave a comment if your number 10k! Trying out some new colours.....its darker than I want....I actually want light colours.....its just so easy to go with a darker layout/design.....

Still frames in your mind...

I've been meaning to post for awhile now. Just haven't had my computer around when ideas come to me. And when I finally do sit down, such as now, I find the thoughts that had been pre-occupying my mind are not nearly as focused as before. Let me just go on about some random things then and perhaps another day I'll follow up with greater depth. I need to care less about what other people that don't matter think. Like they don't really matter, and I shouldn't let little things upset me. I've been finding a lot of old friends on facebook. Friends from highschool, junior high, and as far back as grade 2. Its quite nice. Now, I don't become big friends with them. Its really not much more than a Hey! haven't seen in you ages, what are you up to now?. A couple more messages like that and well, thats about it. But I do enjoy it nevertheless. And its interesting the memories we have of people. And that they have of us. This one friend remembers that I use to help her learn her provinces hehe. I remember another time, during recess my one friend was upset because she was scared of dogs. So I sat down and talked to her about it. And told her how I was afraid of dogs too. (Man, so scared it must have been a phobia...I'm so so so much better than I use to be). And I remember after recess I got teased by some other friends about me liking her and her being my girlfriend....grrr...bugged me so much....hehe but I guess thats grade 2 for ya :) I wanted to talk about faces. The sides we show to different people. But my inspiration for what I wanted to say....perhaps another time. I'm feeling tired now too. Ohh, I finally excercised today! wooo.....I'm out of shape. But at least I've started again, hopefully I'll continue. btw, Heroes is such an awesome show! Sadly there was no prison break today though. Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go So make the best of this test, and don't ask why It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right. I hope you had the time of your life. So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial For what it's worth it was worth all the while It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right. I hope you had the time of your life.
