Matt's Life Rollercoaster

The Annual OMGIHASNTDONETHISINAWHILE Post

2010-05-26T19:31:00.003-06:00

Yeah, even though I'm the only one that reads this. Time for an update.

I'm about to start a new job tomorrow. It's just Walmart, but I needed a job for the summer. It pays right?

I'm also hoping to run a 5K on Sunday, which should be pretty awesome.

I think with the whole Twitter/Facebook thing becoming major, updating this blog isn't something I go all gungho on.

I went to the 2010 Olympics though as a famed "blue jacket" and it was pretty cool. A once in a lifetime experience for darn sure. Some pictures are in this post.

Love life since last writing, I had a girlfriend, but I had to break up with her after a horrible night.

SAIT is done. I got back from the Olympics and realized being a travel agent is not fun.

Also, I still work at the Saddledome and find myself being punished alot for bogus reasons. One of the supervisors is really just on everybody's nerves.

Stampede? Fuck that. I got fired at the end of 2009's Stampede, for possibly the most dumb & drama filled reason ever.
Tanya also got to run with the torch. :D

Wow... holy crap.

2009-05-28T15:48:00.004-06:00

So, hey. I haven't even thought of this crap in like a year.

Let's start this off by saying that the Roughnecks are totally the 2009 NLL Champions BABY!!!

This season was a pretty crazy one for me. Running a fan bus (then having someone else take the helm), going to Edmonton for an away game, meeting people at the Champions Cup from Wingszone and basically making alot of new friends, and becoming alot closer with the players. To have it all finish with winning the Champions Cup was pretty SWEET.

So, I'm now at the Saddledome leaving the world of Cineplex far behind. It's been okay. It's frustrating getting to work the West Gates over and over, but that's out of my hands. It's not democratic there for sure.

I worked the 2008 Stampede as a Gate Attendant at Olympic Gate 5-12. I'm going back and it's gonna be awesome! Can't wait.

I'm also going into SAIT in the fall which is wicked. Travel and Tourism. Should be cool, they go on trips too, so maybe they will go to Europe or Asia and I can go, cause I'll never get to go with Mom and Dad.

Speaking of trips, we went to Varadero, Cuba. It was cool, except for the flights. Even though I'm a fan of flying, the plane seriously pissed me off.

Here at YYC, we didn't have any problems with Transat at check-in, however our plane didn't show up for like an hour after 10:00, and we had to fly to Edmonton. >:-(. Where does it make sense to do YYC-YEG-VRA? The other way, I could understand. So, that added about 45 mins to the trip ontop of 5 or so hours. It was a red-eye too which sucked. And Transat is cramped like a mofo. Seriously. Not comfy at all. And the movie was "Twilight" which also is fail.

The actual trip was pretty awesome. I made some great friends from Toronto/Vancouver/Ottawa. We partied it up at the disco and had to barricade a girl in her room. (When I think about it now, that was totally a fire hazard). Got stupid drunk. Swam with dolphins which was pretty cool.

Coming up I have Russell Peters at the Dome, No Doubt/Paramore at the Dome, WWE RAW at the Dome, and WWE Smackdown/ECW at Rexall. WOOT. Pike and Jessica are coming too, which is gonna be fun. I have great seats as well.

I have to find a job though, cause now that the Flames/Hitmen season is over (Thanks for failing Flames) I have only concerts to work, and that's not enough. I've tried everywhere. IKEA, Cineplex, Toys R Us, Shakers, McDonald's, Calaway Park. It's stupidly ridiculous.

Oh well.

I want to read some of the old stuff on here, so yeah... guess that's it.

Look, it's a blog from me!!

2007-12-05T12:10:00.000-07:00

Hahaha!! I haven't blogged since Live Earth.

Since then (rapid fire):

I started school again with Japanese, Foods, Spanish.
I dropped Japanese. I flipped Foods to Block 1 and replaced Block 2 with Drama 10.
I replaced my spare with Dance 15.
Dance 15 has become my favorite course EVER!
Spanish 10, suprisingly difficult.
My grad ring will not come off my finger.
Kaitlyn is doing me a massive favor and getting me a shirt from Spice Girls in L.A.
I saw Hilary Duff again but this time in Row 2. I saw Troy and Ryan. Hilary even saw me during "Wake Up".
I quit the theatre, under VERY weird circumstances involving Chinook. Cineplex oddities.
I screwed SCENE out of 2000 points along with 1,100+ people on Facebook.
I'm going to Avril Lavigne.
I started volunteering at Canadian Blood Services. It's really fun. Last night someone put on their comment card that she was impressed with my service and dilligance (ME specifically).
I tried to donate plasma, but failed miserably. The first time I got sick and we passed it off as having a empty stomach, but the second time we figured out that it was the anti-coagulant. It was a good experience though and I learned all about the plasma process.
We had a party the other night for CBS at the Calgary Zoo. It was so fun. We ate so much and laughed a lot. They had those wishing tree things and I wished for "To get through this final Dance project... & Darren's plasma". BTW, this Dance project is ridiculous. I've got to leave a major mark in Lacey and Ruth's hands which is not cool. They don't get that either. It's a real test in emotions.

I don't know what I'm going to do tonight, I might go to LaserQuest to renew my membership and play 3 games (and get an application), or go to Chinook and watch Enchanted. But it will probably be Chinook cause I didn't realize that I didn't bring the application I already completed during the weekend with me. You think I would have, because this Dance Central duffel bag I have holds SO much.

Alright, so there is the bell. Probably blog during Spanish LOL!

Live Earth...

2007-06-30T22:03:00.001-06:00

While against their concert...

MMVA's!

2007-06-17T16:53:00.000-06:00

Greatest Movie Right Now!!

2007-05-18T12:03:00.001-06:00

Transfer to Scotiabank Chinook?

2007-05-01T12:49:00.000-06:00

I found out last night that Chinook make $2.00 more then us for the exact same job.

WTF?!?!? And Dylan by some miracle got hired there.

There is so much to consider, as I get a real sense of family at Westhills. I really am thinking about it though.

So Ill.

2007-03-30T10:37:00.000-06:00

That says ill. Not three.

After Nelly, I came out with a screaming headache. I forgot about bringing Tylenol.

My headache finally is gone this morning but I still am congested and crap from I dunno what.

I can't believe I actually made it through the two sets at work last night. I however did have to ditch them at close, which made Shane a little annoyed but I felt like crap.

I also only have a shift for this week tonight, but I'm calling in, cause I need to rest a little more. I can't do a Friday like this, especially with Blades of Glory and Meet The Robinsons opening.

I realized on the walk from Central to Shaughnessy...

I've been a lot of NLL/Calgary Roughnecks milestones...
I'm going to the 100th game in Riggers history tomorrow.
I went to T.K's 100th game.
I went to the game where T.K. and Kaleb scored their 100th points.
I went to the longest game in NLL history.

I'm sure there is more but that's all I can come up with right now.

Forca was amazing as well, people jumping up and down with Portugese stuff, and Nelly's dancers tossed out inflatable soccer balls, and then Nelly took a real soccer ball, signed it, and threw it out into the crowd.

No Hay Igual, was also awesome. Sang along with every word.

SexyBack=weird. Who's Jasmine?

Nelly Furtado's Get Loose Tour 2007 in Calgary!

2007-03-28T13:11:00.000-06:00

So...

Nelly was amazing!

I got there about half a hour before the doors opened. Once they did, I did the Hilary rush to the other merchandise stand, and got my shirt.

Then I bought a glow-thingy, and a necklace. More of a lanyard.

I was so suprised at how close row 22 was. I was very, very close to the stage and could see everything.

I got my review published on the Calgary Sun website.

I got to run up to the front row for "Maneater". It was soo awesome! I have a splitting headache right now, so I might go home after Social, because it is quite bad. I'll have to talk it over with Meara.

Jon Levine was okay. I couldn't really hear him. Saukrates ruled!

I loved her cover version of "Crazy", I wasn't expecting it at all.

YAY! VIBE 98.5 plays...

2007-03-15T14:59:00.001-06:00

Mar 15 01:08pm
Hillary Duff
With Love !!NEW VIBE!!

Except it's Hilary not Hillary.

Oh, I did something really cool today.

I donated blood at the Central mobile clinic they had set up. It was okay, I'm feeling a little lightheaded but I'm good.

They ask some really out there questions like if I have had sex with someone from Africa.

It was okay, everyone was really nice. I got a cool pin. The part where they test you for iron hurts more then the actual donation part.

My neck hurts from the pillow.

I got cookies and Powerade and Sprite.

Also, I saw Ms.Smith there which was cool. I have to work later so hopefully I'm 100% but whatever. It's Concession.

I feel great about doing it though!

I have a whirlwind weekend, I work Friday, which sucks cause there is a game, which I thought I booked off. I have to go to a funeral on Sat. I also think I work on Sunday. :-(.

I gotsa sticker, it say "Be nice to me.. I donated blood today".

What's Going On?

2007-03-05T15:04:00.000-07:00

So much going on...

Work has been keeping me busy, and I may be trained in Box Office, hopefully in the coming weeks. I did a basic box office in Concession when we needed to cover for part of the night.

Deal or No Deal Canada finished up, with Jamie Cumberland giving Howie a white hat which was hilarious.

Roughnecks are doing okay.

My Canadian Idol audition was okay, didn't get through but had so much fun.

Hilary's new song "With Love" is doing amazing!

Parents are in Holguin, Cuba right now, and I hate Skyservice, because they are a pain in the ass to get a hold of.

I can't wait for Borat to come out on DVD tomorrow.

Nelly Furtado is coming up soon!

I've seen loads of movies recently.

I'm very bored on nights that I'm not working...

Here's the lyrics to "With Love"...

(VERSE ONE)
I don't mind you telling me what's been on your mind lately
I don't mind you speaking up
I know sometimes I can be all wrapped up and into me
I can be in such a rush

(BRIDGE)
Just slow me down, slow me down
Tell me tomorrow everything will be around
Just slow me down, slow me down
You're the one who keeps me on the ground

(CHORUS)
Baby, you can be tough
Say enough is enough
You can even be blunt
Just do with love, love, love, love
Tell me I'm wrong
That I'm coming on way too strong
Don't think I'll be crushed
Just do with love, love, love, love
Just do with love, love, love, love
Just do with love.

(VERSE TWO)
I can take your honesty, all your words weigh heavily
Listening to you all the time
I wanna be there for you, the way you've been there for me
Always help me walk the line

(BRIDGE)
And slow me down, slow me down
I know you will always be around

(CHORUS)
Baby, you can be tough
Say enough is enough
You can even be blunt
Just do with love, love, love
You can tell me I'm wrong
That I'm coming on way too strong
Don't think I'll be crushed
Just do with love, love, love, love

(MIDDLE-EIGHT)
All this time we finally know each other
Now that I've been leaning on your shoulder
I can tell you baby that
You're right, you're right
You're wrong, you're wrong
And I can be weak 'cause I know you'll be strong

(CHORUS)
Baby, you can be tough
Say enough is enough
You can even be blunt
Just do with love, love, love
You can tell me I'm wrong
That I'm coming on way too strong
Don't think I'll be crushed
Just do with love, love, love, love

Baby, you can be tough
Say enough is enough
You can even be blunt
Just do with love, love, love
You can tell me I'm wrong
That I'm coming on way too strong
Don't think I'll be crushed
Just do with love, love, love, love
Just do with love, love, love, love
Just do with love.
Just do it with love, love, love, love
Just do it with love.

Me love that song!

Anyway, I dunno what else.

I'm so boreeeeeeeeeed!

Roughnecks Ranking!

2007-01-28T15:30:00.000-07:00

Here's the Ranking of the Necks...

In at number 1... of course it's Kaleb Toth.

Kaleb is a amazing guy on and off the carpet. Of course, I know/knew his wife, back when they were just going out, but still, she did get me into lacrosse. And he's got a kick-ass shot. Leading scorer rules!

Number 2... is...

Tracey Kelusky, Captain, my captain! He's also really fun, and he teaches at Central. Great goals, and leadership like none other.

Gong Li from Curse Of The Golden Panda, I mean flower...

2007-01-16T15:03:00.000-07:00

She rules.

I love Kazakhstan!!

2007-01-16T14:27:00.000-07:00

Giggle, he won a Golden Globe last night!!

Longest NLL Game EVER!

2007-01-15T15:21:00.000-07:00

The San Jose Stealth overtime victory over the Calgary Roughnecks on Friday cracks the record books as the longest game in NLL history. Stealth forward Luke Wiles scored the overtime game winning goal at 11:42 into the extra period after nearly 72 minutes of overall play. The previous record was set in 2004 between Arizona and Anaheim at 70 minutes and 45 seconds.

And I was there!! Holy crap!

Poor, poor JT!

2007-01-12T12:59:00.000-07:00

Degrassi= EVIL!!!!!!

Concession Dec 9

2006-12-09T21:46:00.000-07:00

Alright. This is being done on my cell. I worked another concession shift today. Joumana was the Team Leader as was Kelsi. It was good even though I was on the till beside Presley (who annoys the hell out of every single person at Westhills). I had Mike there so it wasn't all bad. We are trying to push the butter so I had a lanyard today. I was very slow with my final drop but Tyler helped.

Wipeout!

2006-11-28T19:37:00.000-07:00

I went into work to see the new schedule, and in the process slipped and fell in the doorway. I look up at Guest Services and see Jenni laughing her head off. LOL!

Get Loose Tour 2007 and Westhills rules!

2006-11-25T23:13:00.000-07:00

Nelly performs at the Grey Cup half-time show.

Anyway...

VIBEFest 2007 is Nelly Furtado, and thanks to me getting a job a Westhills, I got a floor ticket to see her!! Sweet. Not a Hilary Duff concert for once.

Work? To be honest... I love it!

I have some kick-ass people there... namely Jenni, Jovanna (who goes to Central and is in Ms.Smith's Pure Math 10 class), Chrissy, Shane, Roji (that's spelled wrong), Danielle, Aziz, Mike, Natasha, Jesse, Alexandra, and Kevin. Woah, that's a whole load of people.

I've had a blast working Concession over the last two days... in total I've done 3 shifts on till.

I had a funny guest today, she wanted the "old" kiddie combo, and I told her I couldn't sell her it, so she got all pissy and was like "I DON'T WANT ANYTHING THEN"!

Um, okay. Seriously, I was way nervous first time, during a rush of 400 people *yay* but I'm so much better at it now. I even opted to stay late last night.

Westhills 10 crew rules! Yay!

Welcome back Olivia

Looks like Beck is gone!! Yay!

Carrie's Wedding

2006-11-15T12:15:00.001-07:00

I went to a wedding on the weekend, in Three Hills/Trochu. It was boring for me in terms of the ceremony, cause I really had no idea what was going on but the wedding reception was very fun.

I danced so much, and the bridesmaids taught me to line dance. I didn't know anyone there except for Carrie, and she was the bride.

There was a 4 year old girl there at the reception, actually she was a flowergirl, and she was a very violent girl. She started kicking and biting me, and then she threw ice at me. I asked her why she was doing it, and she said that it wasn't her. She then kicked me again and said "Wasn't me".

But it was funny, cause at the end she came up to me and gave me a hug and then blew a raspberry on my head.

I was like ooooooookay.

I must admit, you gotta try Ukrainian dancing to "SexyBack".

Matt's online 1 VS 100 at BJPC Games

2006-11-11T16:03:00.000-07:00

Here's what is going on...

I introduce myself:
I'm WestJet, I love Deal or No Deal (especially Leyla Milani), I'm 17, I want to be a flight attendant, and I currently work for Famous Players in their Concession department!

Then the host responds with:
Well WestJet, we have a little surprise for you...let's meet our MOB!

Well we have five Deal or No Deal models...and strangely enough we have Leyla Milani sitting in her case spot. Hey Leyla!

Leyla: Hi boys...(waves to WestJet, WestJet's tounge begins to come out and he pants)

Erick: Roll your tounge back up my good man...anyway continuing on above those models we have Six Atlanta Braves Fans...3 people from the show Survivor, especially my favorite, Rudy Boesch from Survivor: Borneo in seat number 30. Finally in the yellow seats are 8 Pro Cooks.

Like I didn't see Leyla coming at me when I typed that statement!! LOL.

Job!

2006-11-09T21:47:00.000-07:00

I got a job at Westhills 10 Famous Players :-D.

This post used to have TAR pictures of them at IKEA, but it screwed up over and over.

DDR @ Westhills...

2006-11-01T15:01:00.000-07:00

Okay, so last night I got invited to a movie, and I went to Westhills and while I was waiting played some DDR EXTREME. Well, I have played Daikenkai so many times that I can do a 360 on 4 certain sequences. This elderly couple was watching me and when I came off the machine, they wanted to know about DDR.

I basically told them everything I knew, that it came from Japan, my first time playing at Stampede, and then at Pacific Place. It was very fun, and I'm glad that some people are still intrigued by it, even though it appears to be dying down in popularity.

I burned my finger today in Commericial Foods, because I accidently touched the rice pot handle, and it was needless to say, freaking hot.

Like I said, still got to convince someone to at least fill out the application form for Deal or No Deal Canada.

I've been to two movies in two days... The Departed and Man Of The Year.

They were both good, but Departed was very long, and just kind of ended all of a sudden.

I got out really late, and I phoned Teleride, and the 108 wasn't going to come for 28 mins, so I walked back. GRRRR!!! It's so cold, and today I waited at least 30 mins for the 13, in the cold, even though I had a scarf, and everything.

I've been heavliy playing LQ recently, so I'm becoming good friends with the marshals.

Deal or No Deal: Canada!

2006-10-31T14:57:00.000-07:00

Woo!!! Deal is Canadian bound!!!

Sadly, nobody in the house is eligible, because Dad is a employee of CanWest. :-(. I think Uncle Danny should try out.

Our school was locked down speaking of...

2006-10-26T15:14:00.000-06:00

Yeah, CMHS, LSHS, JBA, and Alternative all got both externally and internally locked down on Monday... some girl from my school thought she saw a guy with a gun as she was getting off the 13.

LaserQuest Member...

2006-10-26T15:04:00.001-06:00

I'm RAROTONGA now!!!

LOL, so much fun!

I'm becoming good friends with all the staff now at LQ.

School Shootings...

2006-10-04T20:44:00.001-06:00

WTF is going on with the world?

Are we all turning into Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold?

Look at this...

October 2, 2006:
Las Vegas, Nevada,
United States
An ex-student of Mohave High School went on campus with a gun, his motive unknown at the time. Students recognized him as not being a student anymore and notified school police immediately. The suspect ran from the school and ditched his gun behind a church close to Mohave. Mohave, as well as 3 middle schools and 1 elementary school were placed on lockdown while police searched for him.

(Luckly, nothing happened there)

September 16, 2006:
St. Louis, Missouri,
United States

A senior student of Westminster High School, Austin Vincent, reportedly text-messaged his friend, saying he would commit suicide. This was later forwarded to a counselor, who called the police. He did not attend school on September 16. School got out at 3:00, and he arrived around 3:45. He got out of his mother's car holding a rifle. Police were already on the scene. Vincent reportedly pointed the rifle at his head, then waved it at the police. Officers took 3 shots, and he was hit in the leg by at least one. He was taken to a hospital in stable condition. He would later be tried as an adult.
(WTF? I don't like this one bit)

September 14, 2006
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

LaserQuest Awesomeness!

2006-09-01T16:07:00.000-06:00

I played LaserQuest on Wed!

I finally got back to the LQ!

It was offered by YICN, which was great cause never having to pay for anything is sweet!

We played three games and here's the rundown!

1st mission:

4:16 (Time of Mission)
Game: Team Bases
No of Players: 25
Beams: 946 (A low number for me)
Ratio: 3%
Rank: 17 (I was expecting a bad rank, cause I had not played in forever)
Colour: Green
Bases: 0 (Cause I didn't know that they actually were activated, freaking horrible screeching noise emits from them)

FINAL SCORE (TEAMS):
Red: 2749
Green: 2905
WINNING TEAM: GREEN! My team!
Score (Solo): 189 (Bleh, suck much??)
WINNER (SOLO): DETOX with 412 points (Red Team)
Alright, now for the nitty gritty:

My Tags:
Total Front: 12
Back: 5
Laser:10
Shoulder: 4
Total Points Gained: 310 (Not enough to win the mission anyway)

This is the first game, more detail later.

I was wrong...

From Skype.com

I found out today, that Skype somehow managed to allow free calling from Canada and U.S. to the same countries. (Canada can phone U.S. and Canada and vice-versa).

That is amazing! Can't wait to try it at home.

What do I do?!?!?! I understand this whole girl thing now... :-(

2006-04-04T12:06:00.000-06:00

I can't beat nerves. I just can't do it. I can't talk to Daryia outside of Math class. I tried, but I'm like "She's going to say No" but like the people on Nexopia said "What, she says No? So what?". Then I move on. BleAAAAAAH!!. (Just adding this in: I'm the co-host of the INF MCA's and so far am nominated for two different LMFAO things). She's so beautiful, and I want to be able to get over this. Holy crap. I feel like such a loser when I don't say anything.

I looked her name up on some baby name site, and it said Daria means: Affluent, Wealthy.

That's deep.

Calgary Roughnecks V.S. San Jose Stealth

2006-04-02T11:51:00.000-06:00

What a game last night!

We went to the Calgary Roughnecks V.S. San Jose Stealth, and we won 12-10. It was some great fun, we made a new sign and Tracy Kelusky commented on it, but Kaleb was no where to be seen. Tracy was funny "What's all this #9, no love for 17"? I was like "There's a pic of you on there, but I know his fiancee:".

In da Box we had: Jordan, Tiffany, Roy, Matthew, Tim, Ted, Janelle, Leah, Nana, Dad, Chantal, and I swear more.

It was not as energy charged as Toronto but that's obvious.

I think we have the most dedicated fans in the NLL, because we draw the most crowds.

I having a throbbing headache all of a sudden. Ouch.

I got the highest mark in all four Commerical Foods blocks on the Food Poisioning booklet. I haven't seen it yet, but I hope it is like really high. I'll ask Mr.Sedman after lunch.

I'm in Hot Foods for today and then next week. I don't like it as much for some odd reason.

I got a Rice Krispy square yesterday, cause I cleaned those huge moving cupboards that we have in school. LOL. IKEA overload.

I tried out the glass floor at the Calgary Tower.

Holy crap, it looks like the darn tower turned into a ski jump. They had the Torino Olympics on downstairs at the base.

Oh yeah, we have T.A. tomorrow. It's a waste of time I think.

I watched some of Herbie . Listen to how a motherfucker flow shit: F-U-Double-Lizzy Loaded wit Lindsay Lohan before bed tonight.

I went to Gizzogle...

and I came up with this post.

I love mah new school. I'm on a eMac n tha keyboard is throw'n me off. I am straight trippin' Commerizzle Foods. :-D. Oh, there is tha bell/music.

OMFG!!!! I'm straight trippin' Commerizzle Foods. LOL LOL LOL

4 mins of musing...

2006-02-09T12:12:00.000-07:00

I don't have much to really say... I'm just kind of waiting for the bell so I can go to Foods.

Freaking Shania!! byez

Whoosh!!!

2006-02-09T11:49:00.000-07:00

This school is seriously a whirlwind. It's fun but crazay!

And that would be my school... :-D. Except the grass is brown right now.

WTH? I don't think I have ever seen grass that green. My class is like at the end of the top floor somewhere, probably blocked by the tree.

New School!

2006-02-09T10:15:00.000-07:00

I love my new school. I'm on a eMac and the keyboard is throwing me off.

I am taking Commerical Foods. :-D.

Oh, there is the bell/music.

Stuff, the last NEO update.

2006-02-01T15:20:00.000-07:00

Hey, yes I did manage a update!!! Woot!

Okay, so I almost got my butt kicked off of Idol Nation, which would have been sucky cause I like posting there. And then on the other end of the spectrum, I got made a moderator at LTAD. Me. A. Moderator. Yes!

If I didn't write this, I got Tony Hawk's American Wastelnad for X-Mas. I rented it once before because I wanted to see what this whole "No Loading Times" deal was all about. Anyway, I finally beat it. I haven't got all the pieces yet, but the one in Beverly Hills is INSANE!! I can't push X that hard. Robb works for Activision and there was this thread about it, and he put "I love it when you guys talk about my companies games". I forgot he worked there. I had to do a whole big section over again when my PS2 froze. I was so frustrated when I won the AMJam but then the Santa Monica punks stole my shirt and I couldn't get it back. I didn't like that you had to play until East L.A. before you got it back.

So on New Years Eve, the computer had a meltdown (a.k.a Y2K6) and we had to format it/start over.

I for one was actually finding some really good things. Whatever Uncle did to make it harder to get music was gone, so as a result, I found like a whole bunch of Live 8 MP3's I had been looking for. Also, BitTorrent was able to do more then three downloads. I was about to throw all that away though, when it came to my iPod.

I thought that I lost every song I had purchased, but when I went to re-install it, I found the iPod Control folder and got to copy all the songs on the nano back into iTunes. So I only lost whatever wasn't on the nano.

I did however lose some important things like pictures of various things from the internet, pictures of my ride in the smart car, my Melissa video, my Thanksgiving video (but I think I can get those back), me on TV, All of my Idol videos, pictures from that day @ the airport, and all those cracked games. There is more but I don't like that.

It also gave me the new editions of stuff like Skype. It's a improvement.

Alright, so we're not too far away from Still Most Wanted Tour 2006.

See, I'm listening to Music by Madonna from Live 8 London which I couldn't get before.

SMWT 2006 is less then a day away. I had to sleep in the PS2 room last night, because we couldn't unlock the door to my room. *Matt yells "THIS IS WHY WE DON'T LOCK THE DOORS*. It was hell. I had a slush which Shawn spilled. *bashes head on wall*.

Let's DO THIS!!! Hil forever!!! I want to bring a camera. Really, really bad. Did I already mention we might have seen Hilary's bus? I think when we go if we see it, and it turns out to be the same one I will scream!

Matt's Dumb sloganesque thingys for SMTW 2006:
Party Up for SMWT!!!
Cause other concerts are So Yesterday.
Fly to the SMWT!
Why Not come see Hilary in concert?
Hilary is a Supergirl, Live Tonight!

It was great, I'm once again writing down the paper copy so you will eventually see the long version.

girlcanrock actually has videos of it!!! Oh that is so good!

Those slogans are actually pretty good. The So Yesterday one is tops!

I'm going to try and fix the iPod shuffle for Chantal to have as sort of a late B-Day present.

I watched some of Herbie: Fully Loaded with Lindsay Lohan before bed tonight. (Yes, Lindsay Lohan but I was decked out in my Hilary Duff stuff). For some reason I'm now going "Punchbuggy" in a insane baby voice. *rolls eyes* This is your brain. This is your brain on Lindsay Lohan... "That is a fetch punch-buggy that you must have traded with your parent that you switched bodies with after meeting your twin at summer camp. You drama queen". Any other Lindsay Lohan movies? Nope. HA HA HA HAH! That's funny.

After a pretty crappy week, I'm actually feeling happy.

Scratch that, I'm insanely bored. The cottage has gone crazy.

And I'm currently outside freezing my butt off in the name of independence. Woot.

I'm loving the fact that I'm one of the few who gets the privledge of having access to such glorious media provided by the Idol god ZlatkoT. It's cool to be the one who can spread the word about other Idol shows. I can only understand Canadian, American, Australian, Pop, and Idols (South Africa). (Oh, Singapore!). But still, I watched DSDS 3 and SuperStar 3, cause bad is bad and good is good right? Or wait, am watching.

Election Eve: I might get to go to the Conservative/Stephen Harper rally tomorrow night. I'm so surprised about being like phoned and stuff for it because I'm 16 and I mean it would be a bunch of adults right? The guy who I talked to at the campaign office was extremely nice on the phone. He was like "Oh, were the phone calls bugging you" and he was going to make exceptions if I only decided on Monday if I was going or not. I really hope I go. When I heard about the phone calls, I kinda felt proud because they wanted me, a 16 year old, to come to this gathering. Everyone makes a big fuss about that it is so good of me to align myself and be active with this, but I'm like "Whatever, I support him... How is that any differant then the other people who have signs or volunteer"?

But holy crap, enough of that. Yes, I do want to go, and yes I think Stephen Harper is going to be the Prime Minister of Canada, but onward and upward.

Well, it was kind of a boring weekend. I did a bunch of stuff but it was still sort of boring.

I tried to watch the whole Roughnecks V.S. Rush game but, I just got bored. The whole energy wasn't there. Maybe it was cause we were playing the Rush, and they're new, but I mean at the end of the half it was something like 6-2 or 4-4. It was a low scoring game. There was only a few hard hits, and just words being exchanged.

ELECTION 2006: Oh my God!!! We did it! A Conservative minority. At the start of writing we have 121 104 50 31 and 1 (Con, Lib, Bloc, NDP, and Independent which will be the order whenever I talk numbers). Stronach won again. That's wrong. I'm trying to see the numbers for Calgary Southwest. Global stopped doing numbers. LOL, there are some teenagers at the rally. Let's see.. not much to say. Oooh, Jean LaPierre just won. Bleh. The Health Minister did too. Wow, good job Rob Anders pulling out Calgary West.

31,000 some votes compared to Mike Swanson's 5 thousand, with Heffernan not in sight.

This is awesome! B.C votes up 4.1%. But they lost 5? Huh? I guess it is the NDP. 26,000+ for Mel's guy, over the NDPer John Chan's once again 4,000 or so.

Vancouver Centre still hasn't elected someone. And the theft Svend Robinson is in there.

The numbers seem to be stuck at 125,101,50,31,and 1.

I read the platform today, and it made me strengthen mu bonds.

Oh yay, Belinda's going to make a speech. Yawn. DEFECTOR!!! YOU TRAITOR! What, going to announce your defection to the Conservatives? She's still hot though. What?!!?!? She is also stinkin' rich. Thanks to the Liberals of course. There's her single Mom crap. Thanks for cutting away. Oh, spoke too soon. She thanked Martin. Her office is 400 Industrial Parkway South, Aurora. OH, YOU DID NOT JUST MENTION HARPER and what? He has your support on some issues? Trust me, he doesn't want it. At the end of her speech she should peel off the sign on her podium and stick a Conservative one on it. Blah,blah,blah... why the hell are you still talking about Stephen? You left. SHUT IT!!! Nobody bloody cares about your priorites.

Martin was playing cards and everyone is making fun of it. Montreal and Toronto gave us no seats.

Anne McClellan is like about to cry. She almost lost time too. She's not giving up. But she's right, it isn't over. She is close in that votes too.

Uh, did the former PQ guy just say "Crapping the Kyoto"?

Sorry, this is like really hard to compute information in the short time I get it.

I forget how many you need for a majority. Oliva Chow won her riding. She's Layton's wife. That's cool.

Minister of Agriculture defeated by woah! 21 votes. Guess that is a recount. Stephen gets to be PM! That means I meant a PM! Holy crap. I'm going to take a wiild guess and say he isn't going to be at Stampede breakfast this year. Vancouver Centre is still close.

123,104,50,30,1. Yes, it appears I am randomly addinng numbers.

She has a sign person beside her and she took a stab at Make Poverty History.

Former (Hee,hee) Prime Minister Martin might be coming on soon.

Jim got 28,291, 19,522 for Deepak, 23,555 for Art, 30,268 for Diane, 33,419 for Jason, 32,032 for Stephen with 72%, Rob got 17,824. 65% of the popular vote in Calgary was Conservative. Those numbers weren't final.

I'm really tired of typing. LOL. Belinda got 24,024 votes. STOP SHOWING HER! ... Oh damn, I thought she was going to make a unofficial bid for the leadership there. I'm bored.`

Martin's office is 1275 Dollard St. Montreal. Oh boy here we go. Martin's speech.

Gilles Duceppe arrived in his HQ at the same time.

We've almost had all of our polling stations report. 8 more to go. 247/259 for Mel's.

Martin is so freakin' convaluted. 125, 102, 51, 29, and 1.
MARTIN JUST ANNOUNCED HE IS GONE!!! YES! BYE BYE! DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT!
Hmm... Belinda's probably jumping off the walls.

225/229. I won't do more numbers for S.W. until all polling stations. Mr.Martin, LOL.

The final was 41,549 to 6,573 in our riding. Heffernan got 4,628 and the others got 4,686.

Svend is at 1763 Comox St. Vancouver.

NDP is at 132 Queen's Quay E. Toronto.

30,161 was how many Mel's guy is up to now.

Jack Layton is going to speak soon. I'm signing off for now. The numbers sit at Conservative: 124. Liberal: 103. Bloc: 51. NDP: 29. Independent: 1. And.. A C7ONSERVATIVE MINORITY!!

Sorry, it was alot of weird stuff to process in a short time that it was displayed on the screen.

Fiasco Gelato is gone. I don't know what happened. When I went to go get some, we turned the corner and it just wasn't there. I hate that. Bummer.

Alright, I have the newspaper handy from election night so, let's see some finals.

In the riding of Calgary Southwest:
Stephen J. Harper (CON): 41,549
Mike Swanson (Liberal): 6,573
Holly Heffernan (NDP): 4,628 (She had a rough last week, someone in her family died :-( )
Kim Warnke (Green): 4,407
Larry R. Heather (Christian Heritage Party): 579

I have a comment about the last two. I actually just remembered seeing a Green Party sign near our house, but this farce of these stupid parties like the Marxist-Leninist Party, and the Action Party have got to stop. I think the Green Party is fighting so hard and falling flat on their faces every election but then you have people like the Communist Party come in and think they have a chance.

Melissa O'Neil and Rex Goudie are going to be here on their Let It Go tour. (At least they don't have the words "Most" and "Wanted" in the title).

It's hard enough for the Liberals and the NDP to get a seat in Alberta, so why even try when you're the Marijuana Party? Vote Communist... Sending Canada back 100 years.

Anyway, Stephen obviously had a lock on it, Alberta & he is the leader. I like him being our MP but then I don't. Now that he is PM, what is he going to do for Calgary Southwest residents?

The biggest fighter for some reason was... Stephen Harper. Out of everywhere I went the only person who came within some range of Harper was Lee Richardson.

But if I had to pick someone else, other then the incumbent. It depends, from the cottage, I saw lots of Mike Swanson signs, but at home NDP and Green were close but the NDP gets a bonus point for leaving a leaflet in the door, which was stupid cause I had the sign with me. :-).

Ahem, now on to Calgary Centre-North...
Jim Prentice (Conservative): 31,048
John Chan (NDP): 9,298
Matthew Moody (Liberal): 7,628
Mark MacGillivray (Green): 6,573
Michael Falconar (Independant): 383
Doug Dokis (First Peoples National Party): 246
Margaret Peggy Askin (Marxist-Leninist): 196
James S. Kohut (Canadian Action Party): 168

Boy, did the fakey parties go bananas here. I can see the point of being independant but not the others. John Chan from what I saw, fought a hard battle in the riding. But then again, Jim had Mel. :-D.

Okay, I want to give all the campaign offices of all (four) parties a round of applause. I went to my intake meeting at my new school, and I saw... not a single sign. Overnight, they vanished. I did see three today though. But wow! It usually takes forever. If I see a Liberal one around, I'm going to nick it. Or maybe a Holly one for Dad cause he likes her name.

Hardcore weekend of Chinese mall, VMK, lacrosse and catching up on American idol...

Friday was boring cause Chantal left for a sleepover, but I did get to watch the Calgary Roughnecks play the Arizona Sting online. I paid $6 and it wasn't like the Rush game. It was really good. We ended up losing in OT, but I missed the final goal cause the computer disconnected.

I did alot of Virtual Magic Kingdom this weekend, which means I am getting back into VMK.

Hilary Review Part 1 and 2

2006-02-01T15:19:00.002-07:00

Here you guys go... This may end up broken up into several pieces.

"Hilary Duff. Three Times A Charm"

I was so excited @ school & then finally, Mom picked me up. We went home for a short while. I played some StepMania & then we hot dogs. Chantal had the car all decorated with "Hilary #1" and "Go Hilary" which was funny. We waited for a bit after supper and then we left.

We listened to "Most Wanted" on the way to the Dome. Me and Chantal did our silly "Beat of My Heart" thing when it came on. Then, I phoned Grandma to wish her a Happy Birthday and then we pretty much were at the Saddledome. We got to the parking lot & from what I co

I can do this later...

Let's see what else I need to clear.

Hilary Review Part 1 and 2

2006-02-01T15:19:00.001-07:00

Incredibly Zany Story from me!!!

2006-02-01T15:02:00.000-07:00

I had to clear the NEO off so here is my ongoing Hilary story...

Matthew: Candyce would never believe this.
Candyce has entered Disneyland.
Candyce: I was looking for unique presents for Mary-Anne's wedding.
Matthew: I don't know if Disneyland is really the right place. Besides, the Anaheim Storm are gone.
Haylie Duff: You could buy them bride and groom mouse ears.
Hilary Duff: Hey, that is a awesome idea. Who is Mary-Anne though?
Matthew: Just someone we know.
Benji: Before I go, I think I saw Joel on Pirates of The Caribbean.
Benji has left the room (Reason: I'm a rock star)
Candyce has left the room (Reason: I'm going to change Matthew's program some more)
Haylie Duff: Now we are almost back to our original group.
Matthew: I wish I knew what Disney we were in because then I would know where the heck Pirates is.
Chantal: Look at the castle idiot, it's Disneyland's (CA).
Hilary Duff: Geek alert.
Melissa: Ha-ha, Matthew is a geek!
Matthew starts crying.
Melissa buys Matthew a Mickey Mouse ice cream sandwich.
Matthew throws it at some random person.
It hits the person in the head.
Amber Mariano: Ouch!
Matthew: OMG! I hit reality TV's princess.
Melissa: I'm the queen right?
Chantal: Sure.
Melissa: Yay!
Matthew: Amber, can I have your e-mail?
Everyone giggles.
Amber: Uh, you just threw a ice cream sandwich at me. Why the heck would you get my e-mail?
Haylie Duff: Because he is like your biggest fan.
Chantal: Hey WAIT!
Everyone freezes and waits for Chantal's big announcement.
Chantal: Me and Matthew already have your e-mail Hilary.
Hilary Duff: Way to bring that up like 10 minutes later.
Matthew's cell phone rings.
Matthew: WTH? I didn't even know I had a cell phone.
Matthew takes it out of his pocket.
Cell Phone: (rings) * So Yesterday*.
Matthew: Must be my ex-girlfriend.
Melissa: Ha-ha.
Chantal: What, are you his ex?
Hilary Duff laughs.
Haylie Duff sees Lilo.
Haylie Duff: Ooooh! Lilo!
Haylie Duff runs to Lilo and bodychecks everyone in line.
Matthew: Hilary, your sister is so violent.
Hilary Duff: Not really, She just likes Lilo.
Chantal: Has any one else noticed that when someone tells us that they have seen Joel, we just disregard it?
Everyone looks away from Chantal.
Melissa: Wow,this bench is really wooden.
Matthew: Is that a FASTPASS machine in the middle of nowhere?
Haylie Duff: I can't believe Amber and Rob are going to the Calgary Women's Show!
Matthew: I'm going to go.
Melissa: But your not a woman.
Matthew: Oh, I'm not? That's so shocking.
Chantal laughs.
Hilary Duff: Wouldn't you get bored? Unless you started getting everyone's e-mail?
Matthew: No, I would just meet them and probably leave.
Chantal: See what I mean?
Melissa: No, not really.
Chantal: We should have rushed over to Pirates when we heard that from Benji but instead, Matt threw a ice-cream sandwich at Amber.
Matthew: Well, I have ADD. What's your excuse?
Melissa: I was busy thinking about Ben Mulroney.
Haylie Duff: Ewww... I was thinking about a nice large fries from McDonalds, now with MONOPOLY pieces.
Matthew:Nvm, I can't use ADD as a excuse. :-( Melissa: If even I crash down & burn out, at least I'm going to know I'm alive.
Chantal: Actually, it's going to know what it's like to feel alive.
Matthew: That's bad when Chantal is correcting you.
Hilary Duff: Matt or Melissa, can you send me this song?
Melissa: Buy the single.
Matthew: They live in America.
Haylie Duff: What ever happened on that phone call?
Matthew: Oh, I feel alive.
Hilary Duff: Quit IT! We are just randomly inserting portions of the song.
Chantal remembers when we did text karaoke.
Matthew: My wrist still hurts >:-(.
Haylie Duff: Oh, and you play DWI?
Melissa looks puzzled.
Matthew: So, are we going on a ride or what?
Chantal: I want to go to California Adventure.
Haylie Duff: That's far away.
Hilary Duff: It's across from Disneyland. Matthew leads the group into Tomorrowland.
Chantal: Hey, its Push, the talking trash can.
Everyone notices Push come toward them.
Push: How are you doing?
Melissa: Well, I'm unknown, and I cried because Hilary yelled at me.
Matthew: I'm getting girls e-mail's, and basically not doing much else.
Chantal: I'm trying to bring the group to our goal, but failing.
Hilary Duff: I can't find my boyfriend.
Haylie Duff: I am spending money on my VISA, and eating a heck of a lot.
Push: Um, wow! You're a troubled group.
Melissa: A trash can is telling us this?
Chantal: Does Push need a hug?
Push: Maybe.
Chantal hugs Push.
Push: Awww!
Melissa: Wish we had a camera.
A camera appears out of nowhere.
Matthew grabs it before Melissa even has a chance to grab it.
Melissa: No fair, I wished for it first.
Haylie Duff: Hey, I paid $3 for a ice-cream sandwich when I could have just wished for it.
Chantal: Yeah, but we wanted to see what would have happened.
Danielle Rousseau appears.
Hilary Duff: Who is she?
Matthew: She's on Lost, A French scientist stranded over 16 years ago when her research vessel ran aground on the island.
Danielle Rousseau vanishes.
Chantal: Was that just a cheap promotion for Lost?
Matthew: No comment.
Haylie Duff: Corporate sellout.
Chantal: HA!
Hilary Duff: We are so sellouts, what the heck was the gum commercial or whatever it was?
Melissa: I don't get endorsements.
Matthew: You could do fajita commercials. :-D.
Chantal: LOL.
Melissa: I get it, I don't say it right.
Haylie Duff: And your grammer is poor.
Hilary Duff: First of all, you spelled grammar wrong, and you're just as bad. Remember our broken English chat?
Matthew: OH BURN!
Haylie Duff: I'm not going to cry.
Melissa: Darn.
Matthew: And thanks for not telling your biggest Calgary fans that you're coming back.
Chantal: WHAT? WHEN!?!?!!?
Haylie Duff: Calm down Chantal.
Hilary Duff: LOL. January 9th.
Matthew: How come the last two have been around her birthday?
Chantal: Cause they want it so Mom can give me tickets as a birthday present.
Matthew looks away.
Melissa: In case we were wondering, I got us a FASTPASS for Buzz Lightyear.
Matthew: Uh-huh.
Hilary Duff: I went over to hilarymedia.net and guess what?
Matthew: Oh, no, please don't.
Haylie Duff: Tell us!
Matthew: No!
Chantal: She's your sister, she is going to tell you eventually.
Matthew: I'm going to squish it before she gets the chance. I started a keeper list for her. I'm the keeper of Hilary Duff.
Melissa: How does Hilary feel about that?
Hilary Duff: Better him then other people.
Matthew: Ya!
Chantal: How do I become a keeper?
Melissa: You go and uh...
Matthew: It's complicated, and involves signing up for a forum.
Chantal: Never mind.
Haylie Duff: La, la, la.
Chantal: She turned into Lalala from We Love Katamari.
Hilary Duff: No, dear God no.
Matthew: What is wrong with Lalala?
Hilary Duff: One Katamari related accident a day is enough.
Melissa: Hey, I found a iPod.
(Matt snatches it from Melissa)
Matthew: Call me crazy, but I think besides me and Chantal, everyone can afford one.
Chantal: You have 2 already though, Can I have this one?
Haylie Duff: Hey, it isn't a shuffle.
Hilary Duff: iPod shuffle is Matt's enemy.
Melissa: Don't download music.
Matthew: Maybe if CDs weren't so much money, I would.
Chantal: Besides, he buys yours and Hilary's.
Matthew: Any of the Idol CDs I will buy instead of download. Plus, I use iTunes anyway.
Haylie Duff: Wasn't I going to have a CD out?
Matthew: Yes. Mel?
Melissa: Ya?
Hilary Duff: God, would it have killed you to asked her @ the same time?
Matthew gives the iPod nano to Chantal.
Chantal: Thank you, Matthew.
Matthew: Is your new CD on iTunes?
Melissa: I'm not sure, I know Alive is.
Haylie Duff: STOP MENTIONING ALIVE!!!
Chantal listens to the iPod while this plays out.
Matthew: Hey, Chantal?
Chantal keeps dancing.
Hilary Duff: LOL... Hey, number 1 fan!
Chantal notices Hilary Duff.
Matthew: Thanx Hil, Is that Mike & Jana from LTAD?
Chantal: How am I supposed to know?
Jana: Matt from Canada?
Matthew: No, sorry. You must have me confused with somebody else.
Mike: LOL... That's Matt for sure.
Jana: Shut up, You didn't even give us a chance to announce you as a "Lucky Dawg".
Chantal: Too bad Matt, now they will only mention you every other podcast.
Matthew: Right.
Jana: Hey Mike, is that Hilary Duff?
Mike: How would I know? I'm too busy pushing Record for you and yaking about NASCAR to pay attention.
Haylie Duff: Round 1 to Mike.
Hilary Duff: Go Jana Go! Girl power!
Melissa shakes her head.
Melissa: Oh yeah, well...
Matthew: Yes?
Hilary Duff: What?
Melissa: I forgot.
Jana: Maybe we could interview Hilary.
Hilary Duff: Right, me to a interview relating to Disney.
Mike: This park sucks, let's go to DCA cause they got my favorite drink.
Jana: I thought you gave that up, Anyway, the Port Orleans has many rooms and is a moderate reso-. HEY!
Everyone falls asleep.
Jana yells at them.
Chantal: Well, that was a good nap.
Jana & Mike leave for DCA.
Matthew: (yelling at them) Well, I don't matter.
Haylie Duff: I think there are sharks in the lagoon.
Melissa: Why the heck would there be sharks?
Matthew: Melissa, Mom says you should send me a free CD for scheduling your session for tomorrow at the same time as Grey Cup.
Melissa: I assume your not coming then?
Chantal: Melissa, your going to make him crushed even more.
Matthew: I'll try and convice Mom to let me go, but probably not.
Hilary Duff: Poor Matt.
Melissa gives Matt a hug.
Matthew: Thanks Melissa.
Melissa: Tell you what, when I do a actual concert, I'll make you my VIP guests.
Chantal: Hilary's never done that for us...
Chantal shoots a look at Hilary Duff.
Hilary Duff: *sings* "Cause you never asked".
Haylie Duff: Good point.
Chantal: Oh yeah. LOL.
Melissa: *sigh* We have got to be the only people who would come to Disneyland and just stand around talking.
Matthew: I've been here before. If it were MGM you wouldn't even see me.
Hilary Duff: Yeah, he would be still deciphering a way to beat Millionaire Play It!
Melissa: I'm exhausted after yesterday.
Chantal: Mentioning it, good idea.
Matthew: (weakly) Go Eskimos, Whoo. Hoo.
Haylie Duff: Didn't have fun I take it?
Matthew: Oh, it was so much fun. I don't know what I was thinking when I wanted to go see Melissa. (sarcasm overload).
Melissa: I feel like really mean now.
Chantal: I highly doubt it is your fault. Besides, he just bought your CD to squish his pain.
Matthew: And then got crushed with emotion when I heard Safe Place To Hide.
Hilary Duff: So, I did What Dreams Are Made Of.
LeAnne Rimes: (far away) I did Remember When for Disneyland. :P.
Melissa: (yelling) Good for you.
Disneyland starts to disappear.
Matthew: Here we go again...
Hilary Duff: Somewhere warm, please somewhere warm.
The group has been transported to Live 8.
Chantal: Oh, fun.
Haylie Duff: Wait! Was there not 10 Live 8 events?
Matthew: Yes.
Melissa: Well, then how do we know which one we are in?
Hilary Duff: Maybe the big sign by the stage will help.
Matthew crosses his fingers for London or Philly.
Hilary Duff: Can you see it?
Matthew: Erm, no.
Haylie Duff: You idiots, we are in Tokyo. Can't you see that we are indoors?
Melissa looks up.
Melissa: Oh, she's right. A roof.
Hilary Duff: Wait!!!!! How does this make sense? Good Charlotte performed after Rize. Call me crazy, but I don't think they can go on without Joel.
Chantal: But we went back to July 2, so maybe he didn't get rolled up yet.
Matthew: It doesn't matter... cause they would have already been on. Look... *points* It's Dreams Come True.
Haylie Duff: Who?
Chantal: They are on a version of Dancing Stage.
Matthew: Do-do-do-doo-do. *sings along* Love, love, love.
Melissa: Does anyone else find it weird that Matt can sing Japanese better then he does English?
Hilary Duff: Why did we get the venue with the crappy line-up?
Haylie Duff: Are we like the only blonde people in the audience?
Chantal: Don't hate us cause we're different.
Live 8 Tokyo vanishes and turns into Live 8 Paris.
Matthew: This is turning into one of Hilary's songs... London, Paris, maybe Tokyo.
Melissa: LOL.
Hilary Duff: Wake up...
Haylie Duff wakes up from falling asleep due to DCT.
Matthew: Crap! The second Live 8 venue where I won't understand anything. Oh, look KYO. Simple Plan but fronted by a fusion of Billy Kilppert and Kurt Nielsen.
Melissa: LOL.
Chantal: Billy Klippert is 10 times better then a French rock group.
Haylie Duff: Billy Klippert. OK.
Hilary Duff: You got to get more Idol-aware. Especially when talking to Matthew.
Matthew: I want this on my iPod.
Melissa: You can't even understand them though.
Chantal: I doubt if Matthew understands any of the stuff he listens to, besides you guys.
French_GURL: Excusez moi.
Haylie Duff: Oui.
Hilary Duff: Fromage, poutine, Montreal.
Matthew: OK.
Chantal: I'm glad we missed Shakira.
Matthew: Shakira was the second last person to go on. KYO was higher up.
Melissa: We'll be gone by then.
Matt sees a Live 8 merchandise stand.
Haylie Duff: Don't you mean a...
Matthew: Yes! But, I can't spell it.
Matthew goes and buys some Live 8 shirts.
Matthew: Oh, I probably should have used the money tonight.
Hilary Duff: How did the bus hunt go? :-P.
Chantal: Wonderful, thanks.
Matthew: Especially when I had snot dripping out of my nose.
Melissa: GROSS!
Haylie Duff: You better not tell them where we are.
Hilary Duff: Duh, we're doing practice.
Chantal: Haylie isn't even there.
Hilary Duff: I'm doing practice then.
Matthew: Hey, is that the Linz family from the Amazing Race?
Linz_Orange: Hey guys!!!
Melissa: Word.
Haylie Duff: Golf. How about... water?
Linz_Orange: Alright then. Hey, aren't you three Canadian? Our female counterpart wants to say something. Go... Okay, Hi... I'm going to say it real quick. Stade Olympique.
Matthew: It's staaaduh.
Chantal: Parlez vous Francais?
Hilary Duff: Enough of the French.
Melissa: How is your curling rink going?
Matthew: LOL. OMG!!! You did not.
Haylie Duff: Can I have a TV?
Everyone ignores her completely random comment.
Linz Family: We're having problems, we can't find a curling broom anywhere.
Chantal: Maybe you could go talk French in Toronto again, and then someone will take pity and give you one.
Hilary Duff: Or you could just use a household broom.
Matthew: Probably not, you get like Cheezies and dust all in it and it's not very good for melting ice.
Linz Family: Our brooms have only orange things in them.
Melissa: You're still doing housework even though you won $1 million? Geez. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?
Haylie Duff: Probably because unlike you and Hilary, they don't have a continuing cash flow.
Linz Family: Would someone tell that to our sister?
Chantal: She deserves it.
Linz Family "Thanks" she said.
Matthew: BRING ON ANDREA BOCELLI!!! But not Celine. I'm good.
Linz Family: We're going to jet. Thanks for the talk.
Melissa: Sure, and send your sis to the spa or something. It helps after climbing inside a burned out Expo 67 EPCOT ball.
Linz Family has left the room (Reason: Our curling meeting starts soon).
Matthew: Expo 67 EPCOT ball. I love it.
Melissa: I wasn't alive during Expo.
Haylie Duff: I doubt any of us were.
Chantal: But isn't it like Epcot like not EPCOT.
Hilary Duff: Try that again, this time in a way I understand.
Matthew: I think she means Epcot should be spelled this way. Epcot. Instead of the old anagram EPCOT.
Chantal: Yeah, what you said.
The group is transported to... IKEA.
Melissa: LOL! Could that have been more random?
Haylie Duff: IKEA is spelled with all capital letters.
Chantal: Epcot isn't though.
Matthew: We've made that clear.
Hilary Duff: I want to go to Smäland and play in the IKEA ball pit.
Melissa: Seriously, how old are you?
Matthew falls asleep on the round bed IKEA has.
Haylie Duff: IKEA peoples are like on some strange medicine because beds aren't made to be round.
Chantal: Could we have been put in a stranger place?
All of a sudden Stephen Harper, President Bush, and Pikachu appear.
Matthew: Two out of three aren't bad.
Pikachu: Pika!
Chantal boots Pikachu from IKEAWRLD (Reason:That gets old quickly).
President Bush: Um, the Swedish have created IKEA to distract us so while we assemble the furniture,al-Qaeda can invade. IKEA is a terrorist cell.
Stephen Harper shuts his mouth because he has a election to win.
Matthew: Good idea. I want you to say nothing, turn around, leave and don't do anything stupid. And break a leg.
Melissa: Someone is overtly Conservative today.
Haylie Duff: I wanna buy Bush some meatballs.
Hilary Duff: Why is it the only time you buy stuff, it's food?
Haylie Duff: Cause I'm not carrying a chair the whole time.
Chantal: Matt, look at Stephen.
Stephen Harper trips over a baby carriage, sending it into the elevator doors, which as it falls knocks over a bin full of stuffed animals, which some lady trips over and falls down the stairs to the warehouse, and causes her to break a shelf of vases.
Matt shakes his head.
President Bush: See, the North Koreans did that too.
Matthew: HOW DID YOU EVER BECOME PRESIDENT???
President Bush gets in the elevator and cries as he goes out of sight.
Chantal: Watch out for the little animals.
Melissa: I think we don't care.
Hilary Duff: *beep beep* Erm, I have a BlackBerry all of a sudden.
Haylie Duff: How come everyone else got techno stuff, I didn't.
Matthew: From what we've seen on this adventure, I doubt you could operate a toaster.
Haylie Duff: I can do that! I give some bread to Hilary's chef, and then a few mins later, he comes back with toast.
Hilary Duff: Haylz, I don't have a chef.
Haylie Duff: Then who was that?
Melissa: I'm sure they were very confused though.
Hilary Duff: According to the BlackBerry, I missed Joel's concert in the real world. Which means, we are the ones who are trapped.
R.Kelly: *sings* In a IKEA. IKEA. IKEA. IKEA.
Matt looks for a window to jump out of.
Chantal: Or a closet to hide in.
Some shadowy figure pulls out a Berretta and shoots R.Kelly.
R.Kelly vanishes like a video game death.
Haylie Duff: I guess that ends "Trapped".
Melissa: Thank goodness. I can't stand that song.
Matthew: Correction, R&B opera.
Hilary Duff: I want to do one.
Matthew: Don't.
Chantal: Hilary, you should have a DVD of each of your concerts so we can enjoy it again and again.
Hilary Duff: So I've heard the legend of every wanting my concerts on DVD or something.
Melissa: That's a really odd sentence.
Matthew: I'm going back to the Saddledome tonight, not for a as fun reason. Flames game.
Haylie Duff: Hockey is fun, I'm sure.
Matthew: Sometimes. I think lacrosse is cooler.
Hilary Duff: La-what?
Chantal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacrosse
Melissa: Chantal pulls out a Wikipedia link?
Matthew: Isn't that my job?
Haylie Duff: Sure.
Matthew: Our Internet bill is going to be through the roof.
Hilary Duff: Nothing I don't think I can handle.

These are the blends I use at my Idol forums... I lost them on the old computer so here they are...

Update Part Deux!!!

2006-01-03T15:46:00.000-07:00

Here comes the second part from my AlphaSmart...

(Wait 4ever...)

Wait... I had a birthday before that.

On Thursday, we had cake and presents at the cottage, I got We Love Katamari and The Hobbit for PS2. Warren gave me The Hobbit so that was nice.

Friday, I went home and tried to Skype the people at the podcast but I couldn't get through.

I did however decide to find some more contacts and I added people from all over. Here's the countries and what happened.

China: I talked to a guy from Lanzou and he wanted me to teach him English. I agreed and he is incredibly thankful. He tells me quite often that his English is poor, so I type most of what I say because he has some program on his computer that says the word when he clicks on it. He asked me how to get to Canada and I said a plane but he doesn't have much money cause he repairs BMW's and Toyota's.

Sweden: This was by far my favorite because Chantal and I pretty much giggled our way through the conversation. We said something about loving IKEA and they said "We love Mats Sundin" and "We love Toronto". I was like "No, Toronto is evil". We started talking about weather and I said "It snows in July, do we win" and they were like "Yeah, you win". I ended up saying something like "It's my b-day over there" and they proceeded to sing the Swedish version of Happy Birthday which is about 2 minutes long and ends with: something (insert name here) hip hip hooray! They were having a party and I said something about Daniel Lindstrom and they thought that I was so funny. I asked them about Hilary Duff and they said they didn't know her. I ended up playing some Melissa O'Neil for them and they liked her. They asked if I recommended any song by Hilary and I said "Wake Up is new". Well, sure enough I hear it in the background. Oh, so much fun.

Japan: I talked to a very quiet lady named Mikko from Tokyo. She was very nice and answered all my questions about Japan and her daughter likes Simple Plan and Avril Lavigne. LOL :-D.

Korea, South (Skype doesn't work miracles): I talked to two people at the same time because they are friends. I got halfway through the conversation and I found out that they were blind. They are really kind and try to understand me.

Poland: I used IM with some people from Poland and one of them hated Alicja.

Denmark: This girl was really nice and we just talked.

Nigeria: I swear, this guy wanted a job from me, He was like I hope to get a IT job in Toronto or Quebec or something.

Ukraine/Russia: Only for a short while, and nothing much happened.

So, I finally went to sleep and then it was my birthday! Yeah! Nothing much happened until we were going to leave for Japanese Village.

I went downstairs and then I opened presents. The first thing I opened was the Canadian Idol 3 CD "High Notes" and a pack of Lindor chocolates. I picked up the next one and figured it out right away because it had the same shape, I finally got "Alive"! *Matt sings... "Oh, I feel Alive"*. So much for it being sold out and all of that nonsense. My next present was a 32MB memory card for my PS2, which is really cool because it is like 4 normal memory cards in one. But, I think it makes saving take a little bit longer.

I'm going to type what my games take up in memory:

We Love Katamari: 88 KB
The Hobbit: 374 KB
DDRMAX2: At least 100 KB.
Duel Masters: 130 KB
American Idol: 150 KB
Ace Combat 04: 75 KB
Shrek 2: 65 KB
Midnight Club 2: 53 KB

And now back to the birthday... My next present was Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2! I've wanted it since it came out so I was really happy. My other presents were a TV antenna and these glass popcorn bowls.

So then we went to Japanese Village. I finally got a seat in a different spot, because the last two years we went we got the same teppanyaki table.

We were sitting with two other people and this couple came and they sat down. It was really weird because while the guy was in the bathroom, the waitress came to take her drink order and the girl said "I'll wait until my partner comes back". The waitress was getting really confused. Well, the guy comes back and they start talking and then they get up and leave. Then, another guy and a girl come and sit down. I was so confused.

Unfortuntaly our chef was not that funny. He didn't do many jokes and he was quite boring. He was only funny when we pulled out the camera. Although he did do this really funny thing when I saw the wasabi.
Matthew: Wasabi!
Chef: Yes. You see, wasabi is like your Mom, so hot!
So your mom is the wasabi of the family.

He was weird though... I'm not making this up but here is one of the exchanges.

Chef: (stops cooking and looks at me) Do you know how many Disneyland's there are around the world?
Me: (looking at Mom, Dad, and Chantal) Your asking me this question?

I had steak as usual, and then it was time for the annual... "Off-key Japanese chefs singing" part of my birthday. So, we all know what happens here. * Matt and Chantal smile at camera while in funny costume, get up and do Happy Dance *. Then some of the people at our table had cake.

We left afterwards and while walking back to the car, I saw a smart.

We then drove to Fiasco Gelato, and I had a large gelato with Fiasco Heaven, Chocolate, and Oreo. There was this guy yelling in front of the store so I was scared.

When we were driving back to the house, We were listening to VIBE House Party.

For Thanksgiving... We went to Nana & Dido's house and I got more presents. I got a gift card for Chapters and a Cranium Booster Box.

I'm stopping it here because this is incredibly long.

"Teppanyaki,Thanksgiving, and Terrible Lines" (My 2nd movie) is avalibile for download via MegaUpload through the link below.

I got interviewed on Let's Talk About Disney Podcast. Check it out at www.letstalkaboutdisney.com . It's podcast 14.

(Holy, I need to put this on the blog)

I also started our new podcast "Matthew & Chantal Podcast".

Matt screws yp majorly and never ever updates it... OMG. This started in Sept and it is November.

Might as well still put stuff down... like I got a iPod nano, I am ticked off at Habbo Hotel UK, Apprentice: Martha Stewart bombed horribly, I'm way behind in my online course, I got Live 8 on DVD and already watched all the main stuff, I got my wisdom teeth pulled out (see http://www.myspace.com/kalancalgary for that fun), The Amazing Race is boring, Melissa's new CD came out, I might meet her on Sunday which is also Grey Cup, I went to another Flames game and got to stay the whole game, kids coming and going at C1, Hilary Duff back again for a third time, Billy might be moving to the same school as me at the same time, saw HP4 at Empire Studio 10, DDR MegaMix moved from Eau Claire to ES10, DDR MegaMix confuses Matthew with it's weird token settings and 4 stages, still hating cottage, S11 is not great either, Medium in 3D was stupid, iPod nano is the best, bought Melissa's CD, missed autograph session, Grey Cup boring (because of missing Melissa).

Chantal and I put the second episode of our podcast. Now, you can get it through iTunes. We had a little volume issue though.

I went on a Wikipedia spree this weekend. I printed the following: Pirates of the Caribbean, Karaoke Revolution, Diamonds from Sierra Leone, WWE SmackDown! v.s. RAW 2006, Royal Canadian Air Farce, Captain Jack Sparrow, 1998 Winter Olympics, California Screamin', Space Mountain, World Heavyweight Championship, Belinda Stronach, This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Conservative Party of Canada, Pokemon Yellow, iTunes, KFC, McFlurry, John Cena, WrestleMania X8, Animal Crossing: Wild World, Animal Crossing, Crazy Taxi 3, Crazy Taxi 2, The Haunted Mansion, Pizza Hut, iChat, Crazy Taxi, iPhoto, iDVD, DDREXTREME 2, iMovie, Taco Bell, iLife, and Burger King. I'm sure if you add all the pages up, they total over 100. Oh also I got; WWE Championship, and WWE Women's Championship.

I rented SD V.S. RAW 2006, and it was a major improvement over the last WWE game. The wrestlers look 10 times more real. Season mode so far has been cool with Teddy Long getting hit by a car. I still have to figure out why Cena is on SmakDown in the beginning. When you select him it says RAW.

Decision Canada: I choose the Conservatives to have a majority, cuase it is time for change. Plus I'm probably going to join the CPC Youth. Stephen Harper's campaign office is by Sobey's, which is really easy.

We had our Xmas banquet tonight, and wow did stuff happen. It started out with the feast that Yvonne makes. Joe had made about 1,000 toasts and I thought he would never stop but the food was awesome. It got so extremely loud and then I went up to my room. At 6:30, we came out and sat in the lounge which was really boring until... Rain showed up!!!!!

(Interject... I'm watching Survivor:Guatemala finale for the second time, the reunion just finished on Global, but Jeff is just reading the votes on CBS, bet Danni wins).

Rain showed up... and holy moly. Black as usual. LOL... anyway, he invited me to his 18th birthday. I am so pumped for that. Everybody decided to arrive at once however, including the family, Kerry, Kim and Bob. I was juggling so many people. We had lots of fun, and the food was great. The punch was awesome. Then, the staff sang the "C1 12 Days Of Christmas", which was confusing because we had to practice singing it during multiple programs. Then, I mustered up all my courage and sang "Just Like January" by Melissa O'Neil! YAY! I was so red, and then I forgot the words but I did a good job.

After the entertainment, we just kind of talked and ate until Santa came. WHOO! LOL... anyway, I think I was like the second or third person to get my present. I went up and sat on Santa's knee. He said something about the elves and being enviromentaly friendly. I was like "Does that mean they drive smart cars?". He said "Yes, that's right". Ooookay. So then I got my presents, and sat down and opened them, I think I was distracted by something and then Chantal went soon after so I was sorta half opening them. The first thing I got was the Live 8 Toronto DVD! Wicked... then Chantal opened her present, and she got her Pixel Chix. I then continued, and I got another Live 8 DVD, this time Paris. The last present was Hilary Duff "Most Wanted" the same as Chantal.

Then shortly after, people started leaving, and I said bye to Mom, Dad and Chantal. I got my yellow duotang. Anyway, we gave Candyce her present too, and she really liked it.

Before the banquet, I did some phoning around to figure out where my Conservative sign was. First, I phoned the actual Conservative Party of Canada. For some reason, they could not find it. Well, actually for some reason there was a lot of Matthew Brosseau's. Then she suggested that I phone Stephen Harper's actual campaign office. So I did, and the guy said that he couldn't find it either, so they retook my name and he said that they would do it after Christmas. I thought, "Oh wait, that's for a actual lawn sign" and explained that I wanted a sign for the window. He told me then that I could come to the office and get one, so I asked him where it was, and he said... "Evergreen". I was like "Well, that's good, Where in Evergreen?". He said bu Sobey's and Blockbuster etc. I was surprised I didn't notice it before, then I realized that I hadn't been up there in a while.

So on Friday, I left school and went home like usual, and we stopped. It wasn't in the Sobey's plaza, it was in the one with the Starbucks, and it was on the side of the two floor building. I went in and the first thing I noticed was that there wasn't much to it. There was like maybe 4 or 5 people and then there was paint everywhere and a Conservative thunderstick taped to the wall. I asked for a sign and they had me fill out a form, and then they tried to give me a lawn sign again. I luaghed and said "Uh, I meant a window sign". So then I got my window sign and then left. Then I went to Blockbuster while Chantal & Mom went to Sobeys. I got my game and then decided that I was really thirsty and wanted a pop. I wasn't sure if I had enough money for the game, and I didn't have ID so I was just going to buy the pop. I had to explain this repeadily to the guy and man was it annoying. Blockbuster people are so cold. (Oh wait, maybe it was the same guy both times).
Then, we went home! I for some reason really hate it when Mom makes us go somewhere before home but when I do it, I don't mind.

Anyway, nothing like ever happens because I'm on the computer. But, I did do something nice for Sean, he mentioned that he was wanting to check out the new Coldplay CD "X&Y", so I told him I would burn him a copy. It was a long process, but I got it done except for actually burning it because we don't have anymore CD's.

When I came back on Saturday, I was zapped and I brought my sign with me overnight. When I walked in, we had a long talk about politics. I felt like I was going to melt on the couch after watching "Beyond Dog River: Behind Corner Gas".

Then I went back home on Sunday to watch Survivor: Guatemala. I found this site called mininova. BEST SITE EVER! TV, Movies, Music, Games, Software, and more! All by torrent. I got the episode of The Amazing Race that I missed the last half of. We got Swiss Chalet too, but I thought we should have had it when the actual show was on. Anyway, we watched it, and me and Chantal were rooting Stephanie on, but I knew when the votes were 3-1 for Danni, that it was game over. Danni is a idiot though, they talked about how she knew that Gary was a NFL QB yet she never actually told anyone on the tribe. There was speculation, but never a full reveal. I must admit I laughed my butt off when they were at Tribal Council and Jeff asked about the rain, and they started talking about the chicken. The whole chicken scenario was hilarious. Especially when they were stammering to get it out and Jeff went "You ate the chicken". Duh! Okay, as for Survivor: Panama Exile Island or whatever it's called, NO WAY! No, no, and a million times over NO! Two seasons in Panama is enough!! I understand the point of using it in All Stars, but for a third time is ridiculous. For once, somwhere cold!

Live 8 DVD's:
They were only mentioned quickly before, but I thought I could extend it because I got rid of some of the older stuff. I got the big DVD after I had my wisdom teeth out. I was wanting something to do, and one night I mentioned it to Mom as I was falling asleep. So we went to Southcentre to see these Nightmere Before Christmas stuff, and then we went to HMV. The original idea was to get the Toronto one, but I only saw the 4 disc one. Mom I think wanted to get out of the mall ASAP, so she was like "Just grab it". So, I lucked out. The 4 disc DVD is massive. When you flip it over, it lists about 81 artists. I think I could be the stats guy. It's primary focus is on London and Philadelphia. I only got Tokyo in the extras. But to switch gears for a second, I found one of the missing two DVD's of Live 8. I saw Berlin at HMV in Southcentre. I've phoned a few stores, and I guess Candyce wasn't looking very hard.

As you can see, that last MPH banner screwed up a little. I really wanted to get one that had snapping fingers with it, but something went wrong.

We had a really low key day at school, because Christmas is on Sunday, and we get out @ 12:15 tmw. Yay, I guess. I did some printing today from Wiki, and I got; Virtual Magic Kingdom, MSN Messenger, Trillian, Boeing 787, Google Earth and Google Maps. I swore that I did more but that was it. NEW FEATURE OF BLOG: I'm going to just randomly insert a factoid from the articles I have. Well, it probably won't be very random, I think it will be after every paragraph.

So.. the first fact will be about Animal Crossing for GameCube: (Regarding the Happy Room Academy...) Each gyroid placed in the room will give you 825 points to your HRA score.

When I played Animal Crossing, I thought those things looked like cactuses. They were really stupid, cause you had to keep pushing A all the time. I never stood the whole HRA thing either. I got really low scores, but I had a golf bag at least, and a Mario star I got from the Nintendo website. :-D.

(Since I don't have much to write about, more facts! Maybe if I am really bored, one from each...)

Boeing 787: The 787 production line will be able to finish a aircraft in as little as three days, compared to 11 days for the 737. I thought the 737 would be way quicker, the 787 has 240 seats in two classes, and 296 in a high density coach conifguration. The 737 can't have more seats then that?

Flight Attendant: Some airlines, such as EVA Air, have height requirements for asthetic purposes.

Weren't we suppossed to stop thinking of flight attendants as objects? Hiring them for asthetic purposes defeats that. LOL...

Travel Agency: In the early era of model airplanes, airlines would have large plane models of their companies made and shipped to travel agencies; these plane models are also avalibile to the public; but they are among the highest prized airline collectables.

I don't think so, I think model planes in travel agencies sometimes are weird. Like at Wal-Mart, I saw a Virgin Blue and Ansett Australia one. (Well, not one... they weren't in a duel scheme).

Airbus A380: The A380 will only be able to hold 555 passengers if in a three class configuration, but the number jumps to 800 if you go single economy class configuration. Don't expect to see the 800 passenger configuration, the only airlines that have single classes are low fare carriers, and a low-fare airline buying a A380 is like shooting yourself in the foot.

LOL... Rain just phoned to tell me about his party. Actually, the phone call was mostly hijacked by Brian.C yelling in the background "That's hot". It is on the 4th but other then that, I know nothing. Well, I actually know alot, but nothing more on that topic. LOL.

Trillian (instant messenger): First, before actually starting, I installed this about a week ago, and with Mininova, I got Trillian Pro. It is really cool, you can get Yahoo!, MSN, AIM, and more all in one. I don't have ICQ, Jabber, IRC, but it accepts all of those. And with Pro, you can get Skype.

Actually, forget that. All I want for Christmas is... Tickets to see Melissa in concert. Or Hilary,but Melissa more.

I got tickets to... HILARY!!! Yay me! I love it! No sign of Melissa though. We went to Chinook yesterday (December 27). It was crazyness. Having lunch was a experience. I got yelled at by some Zellers lady for throwing a wrapper out from a gift card that I had taken for my collection. I hate Zellers, they are so rude, and they are just a ghetto Target. Seriously, look at it... Stuff by Duff is where? Zellers in Canada, Target in America. Same with Mossimo. I don't get it. Just because I'm a teenager doesn't mean I'm stealing.

I got my MPH bracelet at Ten Thousand Villages, and i also bought a LiveSTRONG one for Aussie at Bulid-A-Bear and a blue one from Claire's that says "Hurricane Relief 2005" but that one is stupid because the letters can rub off.

Currently Wearing (in order as of 2:30ish December 29th): Hurricane Relief 2005, Strength, Anonymous, Faith, Courage, LiveSTRONG, Freedom, Make Poverty History, and then the milk one.

Freaking gardening guy on CBC. Oh, I must put my ferns in a saucer. (Yay, closed captioning saves the day). It's December, and you can't grow anything in December. Oh, but he has a greenhouse. *rolls eyes*.

Why the heck is Air Farce not on on New Year's Eve? That's something that has to happen. I went to IKEA last year though. It made me tired. LOL.

Christmas was cool, I got $20 at iTunes.

LOL... I was watching that thing CBC has on weekdays with some gardener. He's not the greatest.
