Now before I get into my picture post from my birthday, there are a few thank you's I feel are needed. When my birthday comes along, it's right after New Year's and Christmas, so I'm pretty used to everyone bailing and wanting to just relax. It's so over-whelmingly wonderful when I get so much love. My birthday last year was an absolute gutter birthday. This year though, everyone made me feel extremely awesome, and appreciative of what I HAVE. I don't give a fuck if you don't give me shit, simple things like greetings made this day one of the BEST days in a long time. I haven't been that happy in forever! & I owe it to a few people:
My family, for attending a wonderful dinner at Ichiban. Even though I was really sick, I was really happy to have all of my favorite family members sitting at one table..! & to my lovely sister for setting the whole thing up! And my tea cup that I will use til the end of time! She does great things. To my mom who made me a beaaauutiful mocha cake. To Tina for bringing me a caramel cake, that I devoured.
To Perla, for knowing my love for Wu-Tang and jewellery, and the sweetest card ever. To Maribeth for the favorite show she put me on. To Lex, for a VERY well-written letter, that didn't need any editing! And for my new favorite gadget, my bloggie! I love it so much! To Eliza for making sure everyone knew it was my birthday and all the things she ever does for me, even when it's not my birthday. Fuck that, it's my birthday every day. Haha. To Anthony for my shirt! To Colin, for lighting off fireworks for Matt, pure bliss! And amazing eye candy type literature! To B, for my favorite Michael Cera movie! To my twerk team, for being so fabulous, all the time!
To the Greenroom staff, and Megan! An excellent and beautiful server who held the best bottle service! To Kev, for giving me a booth and for treating us so good, all the time. To Dave, for always taking my ignant ways and accepting them! And for all the good you give us! All the time. To my favorite dj's in the world, Tim and Lon! For playing my favorite songs (all the time), but even more so on my birthday! When I heard Midnight City, I nearly died, and to Tim for singing me happy birthday and making me die of laughter!
And of course, to anyone I missed, everyone I that greeted me. The BBM names, the texts, the phone calls, the tweets, the facebook messages, the letters, the blog entries, the e-mails, and to every single person that attended, or couldn't but made me feel loved anyway. *Sigh. Best birthday ever. Love you all sooo much. Thank you!!
WHAT'S WACK WEDNESDAY
i was debating on whether i should do this post today or not. wednesdays are my busiest days of the week. literally a 14 hour day, so what's wack wednesdays have been kind of a hard task to complete.. and today, despite being my busiest day of the week was actually a really good one, so.. at the risk of sounding completely pussy, i'm having a zippidy doo dah kind of day, and i'm not really in the mood to complain.
BUT.. i'm shutting the feeling aside momentarily, i've made the list in my cell phone, so wtf? let's get to it.
GIRLS WHO KNOW NOTHING
talking like they know everything. i say girls because i feel that there are two situations with the know nothing beef. the first is a girl doing this for status. they usually claim themselves as hip hop heads, or comic junkies, or video game whores, when they literally know nothing about any of the three.. OR ANYTHING FOR THAT MATTER, be it sneakers or pop culture, whatever the fuck, it doesn't matter. they usually try to shed their knowledge on topics and it's either wrong, or minimal.. and they're only saying this to look cool. fuck that shit. be yourself. i wish i was a fucking skateboarder, or snowboarder.. but i'm not. so i won't pretend like i know everything about the two.
then there's girls who act like they know what their boyfriend knows to her girlfriends. i find this is the most frequent with cars. they're either trying to do this because guys find it sexy when girls know cars, or they're trying to out-shine their girlfriends, i'm not sure, but whatever the reason, i could give a fuck. this girl says to me the other day, "ewww look at that guy's hood, that's not even carbon fibre, he just painted it black". hahaha/ seriously, first of all, i'm happy you remember a little tid bit your boyfriend might've mentioned, but you don't know two shits about cars, and i'm pretty sure you don't even care. so who are you fooling?! your boyfriend wanna be cool antics are not of any "i give a fuck"'s to me. okurrr.
PEOPLE WHO CALL TORONTO T.DOT
this might offend some people, and the truth is i don't even know why it bugs me. maybe it only bugs me because i put on for winnipeg AND toronto, and i feel that when people are like "yoooo when you going t.dot?" i'm just like "ew, stop. you know nothing". hahah. maybe i feel that when people call toronto t.dot, they're personalizing it. YES, THATS IT! psychology. when people give things nicknames, they give it a nickname to claim it as their own.. so when people say tdot, i feel like they're saying it like they live there and it's their city. you don't hear me calling vancouver, "vancity", haha ew. i would never. i never even say "peg city" and i'm from there!
NOT HAVING A CAR
kind of really blows right now. it's fucking cold. i'm really hoping for that lotto max on friday so alex and i can cruiseee while listening to christmas music!!!
FACEBOOK PHONIES
how you gonna add me on facebook and then not say hi when you see me!? you fuckin phonies. delete delete delete. stop liking my statuses, you don't even know what i'm talking about.
PUNK FUCKS
this dude approached this old lady downtown the other day and swatted her shopping bag down. WTF IS THAT?! that's a fucking old lady! who did NOTHING to you. this world has some fucking fucked up people, and i don't understand how people with brains like that are even around. to re-assure people, a man called out to the douche bag, asking him to approach him (he didnt he just kept walking), and picked up the bag for the lady. anyone who wants to start shit for no reason, fuuuckkkkk yooooouuuu!!! i get that times are hard, life is hard.. but when you're picking on people who are vulnerable just because you have a shitty life or are a fucked up person, you gets no sympathy from me. you get a fuck you. & what makes me even more annoyed about the situation is that i didn't do anything, i just watched this all happen. i'm sure the situation would've changed, had the man not have stepped in, but still. these are things we shouldn't have to deal with nor be scared of. fuck you douche bag, fuck you.
THAT IS ALL! back to my zippidy doo dah mood!
THROWBACK THURSDAY
when i first met alex, i was surprised by his height. he was fucking tall. our first "date" together, i wouldn't really call a date. he picked me up, i was with my buddy so he came along too, and we went to some diner where alex's friend worked. i was REALLY sick this night, i was soo hungover and hadn't slept yet, so i was probably still drunk.. and alex barely said one word to me. we ended up going to revival for hip hop karaoke, and it ended up calm. cool. collected. i developed a little crush on him that night, but nothing major.
the next day, alex called me.. we ended up meeting up again to take a walk through graffiti alley. we ended up sitting in a park for an hour in the middle of february.. all i kept thinking was "please don't let any pigeons poop on me, it'll be so embarrassing".. it didn't :) he then took me for korean bbq, my first time.. and yes, HE COOKED FOR ME.. then he took me to chapters. we sat in a corner and flipped through books on hip hop and he also took the time to go through astrology books to check our compatibility. it said we should stay friends lol.
the next day he promised to take me shopping. we walked through the park and got some free soup from some hippies and continued trekkin'. we ended up accidentally stumbling upon toronto's ice festival. we went through the entire thing, when a couple asked alex to take a picture of them behind a sculpture of toronto.. after he did, the same couple insisted they take a picture for us. so alex and i got our picture taken, and he put his hand around my waist, i nearly died. it was behind a sculpture that said "toronto" in an arch, the pansiest thing ever.. but i was really excited to be so close to him.
upon conversation a few days earlier, i had said that i've never been ice skating.. so he surprised me by taking me to nathan phillips square. i was terrified, and thus still figured it a good time to grab his hand. we spent the night holding hands and skating, but the fucker still didn't know i was interested.
when he took me home, he had a parking ticket on his car. i apologized profusely and he was such a gentleman he shrugged it off like it was nothing.
the next morning was my interview for university, and it went well so i was really excited. i called him up and told him, and again, we went out. we spent the entire day walking and talking, and i grabbed his hand AGAIN, still.. he wasn't taking the bait. we ended up going to hooters to celebrate, and we finished 3 or 4 pitchers of beer. we were both drunk out of our faces. (i remember you talking to richard for a good 15 minutes on the phone whilst i waited patiently.. JUSSAYIN!) after leaving hooters, i was basically sick of his shit, so. in the middle of the streets of downtown toronto, in the middle of february, in -20c weather, drunk outta my face, hair in disarray, i asked him, "hey, alex.. can i kiss you?", he replied, "alright".
.. and the rest, was history.
i love you.

SIDE STORY: so on this night, this crazy drunken guy came up to our table.. and he was basically trying to start something with lex while hitting on beth and i. so lex was paying him no mind, when the dude started saying shit like "we are not the same you and i (referring to lex), you see, I AM NIGERIAN! and you, in your country, you have no education!".. and so obviously, lex was taken back by that.. then he starts asking if i'm guyanese and my uncle don goes, "strike one". then he goes, "chinese?". "strike two.". "italian?" strike three. then beth goes "you're sure right about that education thing.. it was after him telling us we're not canadian, that beth and i decided to go to the bathroom.. and while we were gone, my uncle got fed up with his antics and asked him if he wanted to take a walk. the guy profused, and the bartender ended up kicking him out for bothering us.. but not before him yelling, "YOU EVER COME AROUND HERE, YOU KNOW WHERE I'LL BE.. ON THE BLOCK.. I'LL BE HERE, COME AROUND AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS". ugggh. for reals! i never really got the angry drunks, and why they always want to fight.. but even with how annoying it was, it's nice to know how solid my family is. sooo i know where i get it from ;)
