Well I got a weird phone call tonight from a private number, and I can't figure out who it was. They went by the name of "Steve" and I don't really know any Steve's? It was extremely odd. This person called up starting off singing "Breakfast in America" by Supertramp. Then they asked if I was "playing" with myself, and talking about other things along those lines... If you know what I mean...
Then they wanted to know about a bicycle for sale, I told him you must have the wrong number, and he replied "No I don't I'm looking for Mr. Kirk is this Mr. Kirk?". Of course it was me, I don't know too many other Kirk's out there with the same phone number as me. Then he told me I was talking lippy to him, and that's when I said "Yeah okay, whatever, goodbye" and hang up.
They sounded kind of drunk, and the voice sounded familiar, but I can't quite place who it was.
All in all it was a weird experience and I have NO IDEA who this was. Whoever Steve is, you are screwed up dude.

And So The Journey Begins
Actually, it hasn't begun yet. Technically it has, my folks are in Ottawa right now and they will be here around 12pm tomorrow. It's going to be an interesting day, I think I might just break down and cry. Just like I did yesturday, and almost did today.
Tomorrow is my departure from the city of Toronto, and I return to my normal every day life back in the east coast. Yeah... I'm on my way back to Truro. I am kind of looking forward to my return, but I do know that once I'm home for a few hours, I'll want to be back. There's so much more here, and friends are here (well technically not anymore, everyone moved out). I'll just be wishing it were back to classes, and soon enough it will be.
Sarah moved out yesturday, and I feel like CRAP. I didn't get to say goodbye, and what's worse is I walked right by and just gave a quick "See you later!", I guess I kind of froze up, realizing that she would be gone, but not realizing it at the same time. And it then kicked in after the fact that she had already left. We did get to spend some time the night before, but that's besides the point, the point is that it was the day of and I didn't even give her a hug.. Nothing!? I mean what type of guy am I?! Oh well, you can't change the past now, I just really wish I had done it in the first place, but I'm odd like that I guess, I lock up in different situations and regret it later.
Last night I went out with Craig and Jon, we went to a concert, just some local bands, don't really know the names. Nonetheless the first band was really good, the second band not so good, and then everyone started leaving for the main act. Well, reguardless to what was just typed, I think you know how the third band did. It was nice to get out of residence though, and spend some more time with friends on the floor for one last get together. I think we will be going out tonight for awhile, but then it's off to Nova Scotia tomorrow.
I called up Sarah just moments ago and the phone went dead, I'm not sure if it was me or her. My calling card only had 30 minutes left so I'm assuming it ran out, but the worst part is, I didn't get to say goodbye on the phone either! I think everyone hates me and doesn't want me to say goodbye to her, I'm not sure what's going on but it's weird.
Anyways, I'm back to packing. I'll have to try and hold those tears back tomorrow, I know it's going to happen, because Craig and Renee will both be gone. It's depressing!

22 Degrees and Counting
You don't get much nicer than this on a lovely spring day. It's SO nice outside right now. I'm loving the temperature the past few days. Yesturday it was just as nice and it's suppose to follow through all the way to Wednesday! I can't believe it! Another thing I can't believe is the fact that we only have seven more days left of being here. It's going by a LOT faster then I ever expected. But this nice weather sure doesn't help either. I've been outside doing things the past few days having the nice weather. And aside from that, I'm wearing SHORTS! I LOVE wearing shorts, the weather is great for them, it's awesome!
Yesturday I went outside with Cory and we jammed on the guitar for over two hours. Just out in the Arb jamming some tunes. It was a lot of fun, I wish there had have been nicer days where we could have done it more often. I might even go out later this afternoon and do the exact same thing. The weather has been very nice and kept me in a positive attitude the last few days.
I have so much to do this week, monday is the announcing exam, and Humanities test on Wednesday. Aside from that, Renee comes back either Wednesday or Thursday, Sarah leaves Thursday, and I leave Saturday. Friday I am planning on going out with friends from RBD, and Justin wants to meet up Friday night so he can see me one last time. It's going to be one CRAZY week! But it will be fun nonetheless. This is the last time I'm going to see most people. Crazy... Craig, Renee, Cory, Kristen, Brian, and Shaun are all leaving next year. I won't get to see most of them ever again! And I sure hope they keep in touch, because I would be very crushed if they didn't. I've formed a great friendship with them, some more close then the others, but that really doesn't matter.
I'm looking forward to going home to see all my friends again. Hopefully make a few appearances at Victoria Park for the good ol' times. And I had a chat with Nathan on Thursday. It was great to catch up with him and see how things were going. We chatted for a good hour and caught up on a few things, looking forward to get to hang with him again.
In conclusion of it all, I am REALLY going to miss everyone, but one person in particular that I am missing right now as I type this, is Sarah. I really don't want to leave. I'm attached, and it's going to be a hard summer without having her around. I look forward to her presence every single day, and now it's going to be gone! Worst part is, when I come back, it's going to be a little strange for a week or so. But I really hope things don't change, because that would twist me sideways. I don't even know if that makes sense, but that's kind of how I would feel I guess. ANYWHO, enough of my rambling, it's a great day out, and I am going to go out and enjoy it while it lasts!

Last Night Was Pure Pwnage!
I suppose I should give an update on what has been going on lately, well it's been another exciting week, and thats because I've done all kinds of fun stuff this week. I'm trying to get as much friend time in as possible before I depart from here, because most of them, I probably won't see again for a very long time. Maybe I'm being to skeptical, or maybe not, who knows. I just view it that way, and if we meet up next year, the better it will be :) Think postive is what they say, and that's the way I am trying to look at it.
Pure Pwnage season premier last night, and holy crap! It was unbelievable! It was great, got to chat with the cast, and not to ruin it for you if you haven't seen the episode yet, but it is VERY exciting, there is a lot that happened that we had all hoped for. If that isn't too much of a clue, I don't know how else to put it without giving it away. Reguardless, got to chat with the crew again, and Jeremy did remember who I was, as well as Tagi. It was great to see that they hadn't forgotten. I was joined with the regular crew again, Justin, Theresa and friends of theirs, it was a really fun time. Everyone headed over to Poppers afterwords, I was going to join but decided against it because it was getting late and I didn't really want to stay out extremely late that night. So I headed home (keep in mind it was 12:30am when I left, so it was already pretty late). The funny thing was, during the screening there was a bit of technical difficulties and the projector couldn't project in color, so we had to watch episode 13 in black and white, which worked in great to one of the jokes used in the film. And it's funny because now only Toronto fans will understand that one, and it's going to be an inside joke to all of us.
I met a former DJ from MMORadio at the screening?! How cool is that?! The loveable Snowball was present and myself and Justin (Syphro) had an amazing chat with him, and got him all up to date on what has been going on with MMORadio. Oh yeah... did I mention MMORadio shut down?! Yeah who didn't see that coming, they really screwed themselves over when all the DJs quit in the first place, but aside from that, it's also to due with the new regulations trying to get setup for online radio that is completely ridiculous, but I'm in Canada so I really have nothing to worry about. Stupid RIAA, glad they aren't up here, we just have CANCON and SOCAN to worry about :)
Last Wednesday was Cory's birthday! Happy Birthday Cory! Well, I'm a little late on the birthday wishes, but you can bet that we had a fun night. We went to the Jays game, and they took home the win that night. We happened to stop over at Jack Astors before the game, and it was a great meal, I had a really good steak. It was delicious! It was an overall fun night, and I am going to miss him and the gang next year, we were the RBD crew, always enjoyed the long night conversations on radio, and I hope that we are going to keep in touch after the year is over. Which I am going to try to keep my promise of the deal to keep in touch, I just hope they do as well.
Thursday was a bit of an upsetting day, I presented for my sales presentation.. and reguardless, I failed. I couldn't believe it! I thought I had done an amazing job! But apparently Vince didn't think so, I was a little upset, so after the presentation I came back over to residence before Paul's class started and took a few shots, yeah I was drunk for Paul's class! I was upset and needed to take my edge off, and it helped. But I do have the opportunity to make the written part up, which should help my mark out a bit. I do think I am going to lose my Honours though, which is upsetting, because I was looking forward to having Honours this semester. Oh well, I suppose there is always next semester, right?
Sociology exam is tomorrow, and I'm not to sure I'm ready for that one, but I am already passing the course so I'm not too concerned. I just want to get it over and done with, I wasn't a huge fan of the course anyways, but it was alright, and a lot easier then sitting in class trying to do the work. I think Renee feels the same way, but who knows. The exam is tomorrow and I haven't really looked over anything yet, we were suppose to do that tonight but I'm not so sure that's going to happen anymore... The night is still young though, so who knows?
I'm looking forward to the Radio Humber Awards coming up on Tuesday. It sounds like it's going to be a real fun time. Get to meet some huge people in the market, and that will be fun in itself to speak with them. But also, we just get to chill with people from first year and second year, and it will be great to have everyone together and get a few drinks in us for a good time. I'm definitely looking forward to this one, plus it's a formal event, so I get to dress up in my classy suit, and hope that everyone else does as well. If not, well heck, I'll still look top notch. Mwahahaha :)
That's it for tonight, I guess I've kind of covered what has been going on this week, and what happened last week, so I'll keep you posted on how things go for the next 13 days that I'm here... Wow! That's not far away :\

18 Days and Counting
The time is getting near! And I still am unsure whether I have any work for the summer! It kind of sucks not to know if I'm going to have anything to do when I get home, but I really want radio work for the summer as well. Only 18 days and counting, and it's going by WAY too fast.
I don't really have too much to report in about today, but I am just kind of lazing around right now. Later tonight myself, Craig, Renee and a few others that aren't confirmed yet if they are coming, are planning on going to see Grind House. It should be a good one, Craig and I have been talking about this one for quite some time now, we've been waiting for it to come out for quite awhile and now it's finally here!
The weekend was fun, went over to Sarah's, and it was a lot better then sitting here on residence by myself. We went to see the movie "The Reaping", it had some good spots in it that made me tense up. It was pretty good, and I'd probably watch it again, definitely not worthy of going to see it twice in theatre though, but it was a good film. Other then that, not a heck of a lot went on, met most of her family, ended up going to church, and then visiting her older brother. He's a pretty cool guy, we were chatting about various different things, but I would like to think we got along fine, but I guess I will never know for sure.
Anyways, that's about it, like I said, not really too much to report on, have a bunch of work to do before the end of the year. It's going to be a busy month again, but man do I love it!
