Last day of class for me today, before my four day weekend begin. After waking up, I realized I still have ten minutes left before 8:00am so I decided to sleep in a bit more and woke up after!
Breakfast sucked today, only had rice and some eggs with lettuce. Every time I have to eat rice in the morning, I get sick and lose my appetite easily. Anyways I did eat a little bit, not much. I then went to school earlier than before.
Arrived at 9:50am and sat outside of my classroom door until 10:20am before going in and waiting for class to start. While in class today, we looked at vase paintings and human figures from Greek architecture. Those included the Geometric Krater, the Mantiklos Apollo, Peplos Kore. The Greek sure believed in many gods, this shows why they have so many figures, which is dedicated to the gods they believed in.
After class, I went with my mom to eat at Angels Cafe with her friend. She questioned me to why my appetite has gone worst. Yeah, I didn't feel like eating these days for some unknown reason =P
Later, I went home to watch my drama and did some readings until it was 5:00pm and then I went back to school for my night class. Since arriving early, I hanged out at the computer lab before class.
While in class today, we went to talk about the reaction the first world war by the public. It seems as if people were delusional about the reality of war. Many believed it will be over by Christmas, which didn't. Anyways, we continued on to talk about some of the major battles which included Battle of Vimy Ridge where the turning point of the war occurred, and the battle of Sommes as well as Ypres. World war one was nothing like wars from the past. Troops fight in horrendous trenches and couldn't really advance that much at all. It's like watching two very highly skilled defensive football battling it out. Later we got our midterm study guide and our essay topics!! While during class, I went to check out the MLB scores. I was glad my second favorite team, the Cardinals making it to the playoffs and the Red Soxs missed the playoffs!!
Just 3 months after the Bruins won the Stanley Cup, Boston fans have to witness a no playoffs season for the Red Soxs!! At least they got what they deserved, but this is not enough! At least not in my opinion. I hope the only thing Boston fans can celebrate is a Patriot superbowl win.
A passioniate sports fans that never gets his desires

College Year 2: Day 11
A much better looking day to start off! Well, at least it wasn't cold and stormy! There was actually a bit of sun today and no rain! Last night, my stomach wasn't feeling well so I had to sleep early, and this morning I woke up fine.
Didn't eat much at all, but a small bowl of noodles with hot sauce. Yeah, hot sauce as usual!! I indeed love them whenever I eat something that has soup base. But anyways I left for school early, as I usual do and again had to wait until 10:30am before class starts.
This time today, in class we had a librarian coming in and gave us a tutorial on how to search for information using databases from the Langara library site, as well as citing sources and using in text reference. That took 35 minutes and for the rest of the class, we finished off chapter 3 which was about the Mycenaean. We finished looking at the Funerary Mask from Grave Circle and the Inlaid dagger blade with lion hunt architecture. Tomorrow will be the start of chapter 4, which begins with Greek Mythology.
When class ended, I went home to watch my drama as usual! And nothing more left after but doing my readings as usual!! Busy day ahead tomorrow!! Time to sleep!

College Year 2: Day 10
An extremely depressing looking day to start the week just makes everything terrible! It was really darn cold, rainy and windy!! When you combined windy and rainy, you get trouble!!
I woke up freezing this morning, even woke up 10 minutes late too!! I ate nothing at all, and got dressed and head for school!! The rain and wind made everything so hard for me! I one time had my umbrella flipped the other way!! Why does it have to rain and the wind blowing so freaking hard!
I got to school early and had to dry myself up, since I was traveling through the rain, I got soaked up big time!!
Anyways, in class today we looked at the architecture from the Cycladic, Minoan and Mycenean period. We looked at things like the Figurine of a woman from Syros, Palace at Knossos, the octopus jar and the Lion Gate. Nothing stands out from these stuff but that's ok.
This will be a short post, need to sleep now!!

College Year 2: Day 9
I think I spoke too soon on my previous blog post about wearing shorts to school! I guess I jinxed the weather today eh? I said I will be wearing shorts today in order to prevent the heat to hit that hard on me. Though it was cloudy in the morning and rained at noon!
I'll get back to that in a bit but right now, it's time to get into the main materials. I ate very little this morning and had to go to school. Of course it doesn't hurt at all.
Anyways, in class today for Art Hitory, we spend first half of the class going over the essay assignment, which will be worth 35% of the marks and later we continued looking at Egyptian sculpture.
After class, I went to eat at Angels Cafe with my mom. And later I went home to watch my drama and as well did some readings before going back to school for my night history class!
In my history class today, we looked at the other super powers of Europe. All I have to say is that I can reflect this lecture to hockey rivalries. France as far as I know of, despise the Germans, following the Franco-Prussian war, it's something the French will never forget. To relate this to hockey, I am a die hard Vancouver Canucks fan, as far as I know, I despise the Chicago Blackhawks and their fans to the bitter end, following the 2009 and 2010 season elimination. However last season, the Canucks got their revenge last by beating the Hawks in 7.
Anyways, we talked about Germany itself as well as Hungary and the spark of the first world war! I always thought Franz Fernindad's assassination was the main reason, but other factors such as nationalism and alliances! But it doesn't matter!
After class I went home to eat and didn't blog until now!! It's late now, gotta sleep!

College Year 2: Day 8
It was a cool morning when I woke up, but it quickly turned out to be a hot morning when I left the house! Note to myself tomorrow, it's time to wear shorts to school unless it's raining!!
Nothing was out of the ordinary today, same thing occurred like yesterday. I think I should change up the way I blog, but to what? Anyways, I'll find an alternative plan later!!
Now that I think about it, I also need to find another computer lab to hang out before class. At least I know there will be air-conditioning inside. Every time I wait outside of my classroom, it was pretty hot I really don't like it.
Anyways, in class today, we continued on looking at Egypt and it's sculpture stuff. We had also talked about the Old, Middle and New Kingdom, based on what event led to the beginning of each era! We also looked at other stuff such as the Temple of Ramses II.
Later when I got home, I went to watch my drama first and then proceed to my readings for the day!! Later went to follow some preseason Canucks games, at which one resulted in a 5-1 loss and a 4-3 win!!

College Year 2: Day 7
Another week just begun today! 3 weeks into school already, time doesn't get any faster than this. Surprisingly it was pretty sunny today, not that I expected it to be. I thought it was going to rain and cloudy, guess not!
Anyways, I woke up right at 8:00am as usual, this is a routine pretty much everyday, unless I have no class or it's a weekend. Had a slight meal before heading to school. It's always a slight meal for breakfast, I really have nothing to complain.
In class today, we focused much on Egypt and pyramids. If I was still a grade 7 or 8, the first thing in mind when I study Egypt and pyramid is the show Yugioh! Originally, the show setting took place in Egypt, where the Pharaoh, also known as "Yami" is the improved version of the little Yugi whenever a duel breaks out!
Well, our class also looked at the way the pyramid was structured, with diagrams inside of it. Surprised to learn that there is a thief passage, where all the dumb looters usually go and try to steal goods but the pharaoh's tomb is actually located at the top! Sucks to be the dumb thieves.
Egyptian also believed in the afterlife, and we looked at the weighting of the heart diagram. It's more like a test for dead Egyptian, to where their soul will end depending if they can pass!!
After class, I went home to watch my drama and then proceed to do my readings for the rest of the day!

College Year 2: Day 6
After today, I don't have school for 4 days!! Suppose I have class from Monday to Thursday, but Thursday is when the seminar group meet up as we would be outside analyzing things such as trees and building structures. The group goes and everyone else has a day off!! Now I can sleep in!!
This morning I woke up at 8:00am on a very cloudy Wednesday morning. I must say, fall season has begun, now that the sun is covered with thick loads of clouds! I'm totally fine with that! I start off the day by getting a taste of rice for breakfast before heading to school!
Once again, I don't have a computer lab to hang out at today, so I had to wait outside my classroom until the clock struck 10:30am before I can head in.
In class today, we looked at the statue, known as "Stele of Hammurabi" in which the god appears to give him a rod, in order to be put as a judge of his people. Our instructor also talked about some of the laws that were imposed. I quite honestly believe those laws are like payback type of thing, eye for an eye, ear for an ear, in another words, people suffer consequences to the exact of their own actions! We also looked at the Ishtar Gate that the Assyrians build, looks pretty epic!
I went home after to watch my drama and slept for a bit before packing for my history stuff and left the house at 5:00pm. Since I was early, I went to hang out in the computer lab until 6:15pm before heading back to my History 1115 class.
We lectured on some people and their ideas such as Friedrich Nietzsche, famous for saying, "God is dead" also talked about the Boar wars and the industrial power in Europe. No question that Britain will always be number one in Naval power, nobody can match that, but Britain's economic performance was overshadowed by the Germans and the Americans. We also talked about the human nature of being together against everyone else from the outside. Like wars for example, people in a country will unite and fight others outside. Our instructor also brought up the Vancouver Canucks! He love the Canucks, because he lives in Vancouver and the Canucks happen to be the hockey team of this beautiful city! For me, I'd probably have a much different approach to why I'm a Canucks fan. I'd say, I was born a Canucks fan, even though I didn't become a fan until 2004. But you know, I was destined to root for this awesome, only time would tell!! This relates back to why people would celebrate together on the street in the dawn of WW1.

College Year 2: Day 5
The weather has turned the tide around. It was still relatively hot yesterday, but it was pretty cold today. I was woken up by my sister, because she had to use the computer to print something off and I was pretty grumpy! Of course, everyone would if they get woken up when they want to go back to sleeping.
Well I had no choice but to wake up then, because it was almost 8:00am anyways. I had to get dressed and eat my slight meal before heading to school. For the first time since May, I've wore a sweater and long pants, yes it was cold today!
I was pretty early today, but without a computer to use, I waited outside of my classroom before heading in 25 minutes later.
In class today, we looked at more arts, such as the Ziggurat, cylinder seal, the cuneiform and the victory stele. Most of the stuff, involves one leader above everyone else and he and she tends to be bigger made than their lower ranking followers. And many of the art forms, had 3 levels of events during war times. Pretty fascinating!!
After class, I took the Canada-line to Best Buy and bought my most desired game of the year, NHL 12! It was $59.99! I went home and pretty much photoshopping the whole day!! Didn't do anything else, after and now blogged!!

College Year 2: Day 4
Second week of the fall semester had broke out today. Fairly it wasn't that hot at all and it was pretty windy, absolutely brilliant! Since my mother offered to give me a ride to school, I woke up ten minute later than my usual time.
Breakfast was really crappy I have to say, I ate those sticky rice that were wrapped in those leaves? You can find them when you go and have dim sum. They are called, "Long Mai Gai" Anyways, we left after I finished breakfast which was at 9:30am.
I spend around 15 minutes in the library before going to my Arts History class. Our class today, we looked at the rocks structure during the Neolithic period. As well as some statues created in the city of Jordan and others such as the Stone Hench, circular ditch and the Sarsen stones. Before the class, we got our essay topics which will be due on November 3rd!
After class, I went home to watch my drama. Two episodes were uploaded so it was a pleasure to finish 10% of the entire show. It was a weird drama I have to admit, it's more related to life and death as well as devil. Heh!
Once drama was over, I did house chores until 4:00pm and then I got down to business. I watched the prospect game of the Canucks and the New England Patriot's season opener against the Miami Dolphins. Both teams played great! Vancouver's prospect won by a score of 4-3 in overtime and the Patriots won 38-24. Legend Tom Brady ties the NFL record with 517 yards! Insane!! But how could you forget the 99 pass touchdown he had, right after the Dolphins failed to convert on the one yard line on 4th down before!!
However, I left the house before the football game ended, because we had to go to a relative's house for dinner. We didn't get to leave until 10:45pm, which sucked!! Oh well, looking forward to buying NHL 12 tomorrow!!

College Year 2: Day 3
Finally its Thursday today. Boy, was it ever warm! Although it wasn't that warm earlier today, it sure was burning later in the afternoon! The wind only blew hard dozen times but was not enough! This is why air conditioning inside homes are vital to human beings. Sometimes when there's no wind on a very hot day, air conditioning can cool off the heat for the households.
I was awake by 7:00am this morning, but I stayed in bed until it was 8:00am before getting out of bed. About time I had macaroni for breakfast. It seems like forever the last time I had them. Due to shortage of time, I only had time for one bowl and had to leave for school at 9:00am.
As usual, I hung around inside the computer lab while enjoying the air-conditioning before heading into my Art History classroom. Instead of having a lecture, our instructor showed us a film which talks about old pieces of arts, which involved looking at bison and cave paintings. Most of the video talked about other things however, and only the last bit was actually about pieces of arts.
After class I went home to watch my drama. Last episode tomorrow, can't wait! But then I got to say, "Fuck You TVB!!!" Why should Fala Chen die :( It's not the right thing to do!! Anyways, we will find out!
Later I had a friend over to play NHL 11 for one last time before NHL 12 coming out next Tuesday, also can't wait for that!! After he leaves, I went to do my Art History readings and also discussed about hockey plans with a few friends.
Since it's night time now, it's time to enjoy the cold air before sleeping!

College Year 2: Day 2
On a very warm Wednesday, it seems like my day would never end, because I have class everyday at 10:30am. But since its Wednesday, I have another class at night, at 6:30pm.
I didn't feel like eating this morning, therefore I only ate a small bowl of rice and left the house for school. I hung out at the computer lab for a little while before heading into my Art History class.
All we did in class today was looking at cave paintings and analyzing them. We also looked at the paintings which involved bison and other animal species, I don't really know if I can find a way to be good at analyzing pictures.
After class, I got a ride to a cafe in Richmond by my parents as we went there for lunch. Later, we went to Parker place to pick up some goods before heading home. I went home later to watch my dramas and then did some readings before heading back to school for my History night class.
My instructor seriously reminds me of superstar Tom Brady! We talked about ideologies in the 19th centuries pretty much only. This was also the first time I used a laptop to take notes, which was nice! Though after class I went home, ate dinner, showered and blogged! Time to sleep!

College Year 2: Day 1
Well, school officially started today! That means the adventure just started. This morning, I ended up being half awake and half asleep, as I looked at my watch every 10 minutes or so and finally got out of bed at 8:00am.
Had noodles with hot sauce for breakfast with apple juice for beverages. Pretty healthy huh? Not really, despite getting to taste apple juice. By 9:00am, we left the house. Immediately when I got school, I lined up at the bookstore to check prices of books. I spotted a couple of friends who happened to be there as well looking for books.
By 10:00am I was already waiting for class. My two classrooms are pretty easy to find and most importantly, very convenient to where I usually hang out.
In my Arts History class, we had a class introduction and then we proceeded on briefly talking about analyzing paintings, which looked at several aspects, which included, Location, Patron, Intended Audience, Function, Religious beliefs, Technology, Political circumstances, Gender, Class, Race and Historical moments. We looked at some statues, which included David and Zeus as well as pyramids and mummies figures.
After class, I went home to watch my drama as well as eat something before heading to Rogers Arena for the Work Fair. By the time I got there, there were many people in line waiting to get in. I got in finally at 6:10pm, while waiting for the entire 2 hour. I applied for food prep and had an interview. Boy was I ever nervous. I answered all the questions asked but didn't feel confident when speaking. Oh well!
After the interview, I went home to eat dinner and time now blogged!

2010-2011 Year Recap
Today finally marked the end of the 2010-2011 season. I would first like to say, wow what a season! So many dramatic event that occurred for this past 12 months. A new chapter unfolds beginning tomorrow! It was really a tough and tedious journey for me, finally it comes to an end, however with many things that needs to be completed in the following season.
I would like to start off with school. I finally return back to school after taking the 2009-2010 season off, due to adult school and distraction in attempt to get into BCIT. Anyways, after taking two classes in the fall semester in 2010, my GPA was a solid 3.00. Well I knew this wouldn't hold up, as I know that it will only drop, but the best I can do is make it drop very lowly. During the spring semester, I took three classes this time. This saw my GPA for this semester finished with a decent 2.55, which dropped my overall GPA to 2.73. Just as you know, I also took classes during the summer semester as well. This went rather ugly, surrendered a major defeat in my geography class. This resulted in a 1.33 GPA for my 2 classes combined. Now my GPA went into 2.28 and now I'm on academic probation. Not good at all!
Right now its time to talk about sports. Lets start with the Phoenix Suns. Normally I would talk hockey first, but I want to change it up a bit this year. Now, after bowing down in defeat last year in the hands of the 2010 NBA Champions Los Angelos Lakers, the Phoenix Suns didn't have quite the season they had last year. With the loss of Amare Stoudemire and Jason Richardson the Suns struggled. Though they did get Vince Carter and Hedo Turkoglu, however Hedo got traded before the season was over. The Sun missed the playoffs with a 40-42 record. Oh well, better luck after the lockout! LETS GO SUNS!!!
And yes, the New England Patriots now. The Pats finished the season with a 14-2 record, best in the NFL. Most of their wins were blowout wins, while they had some very close wins. The defense seems to have gotten better, because I've noticed that the Patriots had more interceptions than before. And most of their interceptions were inside the red zone which was great! However, their season was shattered in pieces after losing to the hated New York Jets, for a spot in the AFC finals. Though the Steelers took care of the Jets which made my day, but they lost to the Packers in the Superbowl. I wanted the Steelers to win, not because I hate the Packers, but because I respect the Steelers as a team, just like the San Jose Sharks in the NHL. Better luck this upcoming season Pats! LETS GO PATS!!!!
Before we get to the Vancouver Canucks, time to recap on the world juniors. Canada coming into this tournament in Buffalo were seen as the underdogs, while the Americans and Russians were the favorites. Jordan Eberle and Taylor Halls were not on the team so which didn't improve the team. Canada for most part played well in the tournament. Beating Switzerland and dominating the Americans in the fight for the right to play for a gold medal. Meanwhile, in the gold medal game. It was surely a heartbreaking game. Canada vs the hated Russia. Biggest rivalry ever! While Canada had a 3-0 lead in the first two periods. This lead vanquished as soon as the game was over, with the hated Russians scoring 5 unanswered goals to win the gold medal by a score of 5-3. Yeah you know, when we lost I said, "Enjoy this gold medal while you still can Russia, you ain't winning another one soon" and I'll say it again! Enjoy this gold medal while you still can Russia, you ain't winning another one soon!
Now one more thing to talk about, before the Vancouver Canucks. How can I forget this year's Yahoo Fantasy Hockey. For the first time, I've joined two different pools with similar format. 8 people in a league, with 2 divisions and similar amount of players to draft per team. Lets talk about the NHL League first. Following the season as the league champion, I messed up on the draft big time, this resulting in an extremely slow start for me, I lost the first 6 weeks matchup. Being fed up, I decided to rip myself off by getting rid of Marc Andre Fleury for Steve Mason because the guy was struggling and was ruining my team. Though the guy turned the season around and I was criticized of a bad trade, but I didn't care. I also traded the Maurice Richard Trophy winner, Corey Perry for Ryane Clowe and Phil Kessel, as well as James Neal for Mike Ribeiro. My team turned around when I picked up the Vezina Trophy winner, Tim Thomas and elite goaltender Antti Niemi. I turned took advantage of my weak division and topped over it, giving me a bye in the first round. In the season round, I played an opponent I had trouble beating all year long, the score was down to the wire, but I prevailed by a score of 7-6 with an extra powerplay point which gave me the lead and the win. In the finals, I had no trouble beating my opponent 8-3 and was crowned as the league champion for the second year in a row. Now for the upcoming season, I will try to be first person to accomplish something that haven't been accomplished before, and that is to 3-peat as champion. It will not be easy but if you believe, anything can happen! Oh and congratulation to my two other friends for finishing second and third, good year.
Now in my second league, known as "Canucks4thecup" league, I had similar players as my first league. I finished the season ranking 4th, took on two elite teams before heading into the finals playing my rival friend whose team is primarily built on rip off trades. Talk about cheating heh! So I'm guessing he's not confident enough to win by trusting his own players. Oh well, no shame in losing 13-2 to him. If the following season, he doesn't win, then I can surely say that he sucks balls! While his team fills up with superstars and crap depths. Kind of reminds me of the Miami Heats. My team on the other hand, had deep depths, but my star players didn't perform like star players so that was no match against the power of his superstars. Anyways, even though he won, I won't give him credit for that. So, congratulation to my fellow third place winner friend. Better luck next season!
Last but not least, all you've been waiting for. The Vancouver Canucks! Sorry, I have lots to say about this. First I have to say, Thank You Canucks for such a fantastic year! Even though you didn't win the cup, you still made it to game 7 of the finals! The Vancouver Canucks this year was the league's best team, finishing first overall with a 54-19-9, 117 points. First president trophy won in the team's franchise. This was also their 40th anniversary, quite special huh? Henrik Sedin was named Captain of the team, which I think was well deserved. Heading into the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Vancouver Canucks took on the 8th seed, Chicago Blackhawks, AKA known as the "Blackcocksuckers" according to me. Though the Blackhawks don't deserve to be in the playoffs, because of their bullshit victory over the St.Louis Blues. But anyways, Vancouver won the first 3 games, but the Hawks stormed back with 3 games, forcing a decisive game 7, in which the day was the best day ever for me and my fellow Canucks fans. In game 7, Vancouver dominated the Hawks, but the Hawks found ways to survive and managed to keep the score to 1-0, before captain Johnathan Toews tied the game on a shorthanded goal. In overtime, when Burrows took the penalty, I thought the world would end, since Chicago had a chance to win, but Vancouver's penalty killing prevented that from happening. With only 12 minutes left to go, Campoli tried to dump the puck out but Burrows caught it and scored the series winning goal. I cheered so darn loud, the house probably shook.
Speaking of this series, I would like to point something out. Apparently, Blackhawks fans, the typical bandwagon morons thinks they should have won the series. I had to laugh at that, just because Vancouver blew a 3-0 series and Hawks fans think their team is all superior. All I have to say is, game 4 and 5, Vancouver pretty much gave away the wins. Out of the 3 wins Chicago had, they only won one game, in which they had to work for, but really? Did they really worked for their win in game 6, when they had the officiating favoring them heavily? Haha I don't think so, but the score was sure tight, instead of a blowout. Mike Gillis after game 6, sure made a smart move by sacrificing some money for a win in game 7, in which the refs allowed the teams to play instead of favoring the Blackhawks.
Anyways, back to topic, Vancouver would then go all the way to the Stanley Cup Final, but in a heartbreaking game 7 loss to the cheap fat Boston Bruins. By then, most of Vancouver's players were injured and had to play through them. Of the finals, it seems like Aaron Rome's hit on Nathan Horton angered the Boston Bruins, like one friend pointed out, but Vancouver only scored 8 goals which is not acceptable at all!
One more thing, after game 5, it appeared that Luongo criticized Tim Thomas on his style of play, which led to the 1-0 goal by Maxim Lappiere. I never knew criticizing is equal to telling truth. Luongo basically told the truth and people started flipping out already?? What would happen if Luongo said Tim Thomas sucks?? Haha I bet people would make attempts to try to bomb him haha! Yes, Thomas is a good goalie, but his aggressive style of play can kill him as he is vulnerable in leaving wide open nets for open opposition players to score on. The reason this is didn't happen as much is because Boston had players clearing out the pucks for Thomas, once Thomas makes the first save so the opposition can't get on it. if you look at Burrow's overtime goal, Lapierre's game 5 goal and the goal he gave up to Kris Versteeg, dating back to Dec 4th, 2010, Thomas's aggressive style led to a wide open goal by these players. So I don't know why you queers in Boston was flipping out for, about Luongo making a true statement. I hope all of you have high blood pressure sometime later in your life!
On another note, here to the superstition part, history have shown that whenever a Canadian city hoisted the winter olympics, the city's NHL team will go on to win the cup next year, Vancouver was on the right track, but they didn't win the cup!! What is this?!?!?! I don't know what went wrong there, because they were suppose to win the cup, like what Don Cherry and E.A simulator predicted. This is not fair!! Why does the assholes in Boston get to celebrate the cup, while the good and faithful people in Vancouver did not? God, where is the justice?? Please stop picking on Vancouverites and Canucks fans, our fans have waited for 40 years and we still haven't get a chance to see our beloved team win a Stanley Cup!! Please pick one someone else and leave us alone!
Though after game 7, everybody was talking about the Vancouver riot. If you think riot was caused by Canucks fans in anger over the cup loss, you are a fucking idiot and deserved to be shot. For the last time, the riot weren't caused by real Canucks fans and Vancouverite. They were caused by a few trouble makers, known as hooligans and anarchist who seeks the opportunity to destroy private properties. The Stanley cup was just an excuse for these people to cause troubles. Real Vancouverites and Canucks fans went home as soon as the game ended! While some of you dumb fucks would ask, "Why are they wearing Canucks jerseys then?" To answer your horseshit question, just because they wear Canucks jerseys doesn't mean their actually fans, if you had the brain, you'd figured out that just because you wear a team's jersey does not mean you're actually a fan, you idiots. I can randomly put on a jersey of a sports team, but does that really make me a fan of that team? No, not at all! To the people who circled around taking pictures and recording, thank you, but your not helping the situation. You're making the situation harder for the police to deal with!! Though, thanks for putting up pictures on facebook so the Vancouver Police Department can persecute these offenders and serve justice! Real Vancouverite went out the next day to help cleanup, so that shows we people in Vancouver aren't like those rioters. Those people are the true people here in British Columbia. Anyone that tells Vancouver fans to "Riot some more" I hope you all die early and your whole family too! I feel somewhat for saying these things, but sorry you people deserved it!!
On a special note, I've finally got transferred to Playland Rides. Today was the last day of work. It sure was hot haha! Looking forward to next season!!
Starting tomorrow, I will have one thing in mind, that will be revenge! In school, hockey pools and Canucks!! We will be back in 2012!!!! 2012 baby!!!
I would like to start off with school. I finally return back to school after taking the 2009-2010 season off, due to adult school and distraction in attempt to get into BCIT.
