It's been a while.
Why, yes it has. I will start blogging again. As a great person once said. Yippe, Kye, Aye.

Okay...
I haven't blogged in 3 months and I said I was going to pump out some "quality blogs" about certain topics...
well....
I lied.
The fact I guess I lost interest in blogging almost the same old same old. Seriously I dont feel like doing a blog every now and then just to update on my life, I HAVE A BORING LIFE!!! I should stray onto other topics, seriously, I should.
As I last said I was going to do a LOST Final Season blog. Plain and Simple I won't. It was FANTSATIC. (also I need to rewatch the season) to fully review it, thats if I want too.
Few things I might and try to talk about is Heavy MTL2010, the past Iron Maiden show and few other tidbits. Might even take a crack into talking about some other things that aren't my life, LOST, video games & movies.
anyways, THATS IT... for now.
PS.
okay new blog name, new direction, lets see how this goes! (also you're favorite blogs are still here! they aren't going anywhere!)

Hello fellow blog followers.
I am truly sucking at these blog post these days, I am somewhat sorry that I haven't been consistance with these darn blogs but seriously, no one is constantly pestering me about "Oh Jason, how come you don't have a new blog?" Its because you readers don't care anymore! Im sure of it. Deep down, you actually care about these lovely blogs and you wish you can read a new blog update every single day! Well GUESS WHAT. You will get a new in the next month or two, because LOST is wrapping you, so is my first year of school AND I will be hitting my 50th blog post. EXCITING AINT IT!
I haven't decided what to do for this joyous occasion but since the lack of comments or real life comments on the blog, I probably will not do another "Answer Reader Questions" like I did back in last March/April, even that was hella fun. As I just said, LOST is ending in a month, its going to suck cause I have been following this epic series since mid season 3, friggin awesome show. I will be getting a start on my Final Season wrap up. I was going to try to keep it updated week after week, but laziness came over me. For 3 months. I know I KNOW it is sad, but shut up. This is my blog NOT YOURS!!!!!!
School ending soon (almost wrote School ending school, idiot I am) and I can't be anymore excited, first year almost done, I have a summer job lined up, possibly a small vacation, this summer will rock. Iron Maiden with Dream Theater concert, getting tons of cash in mah pocket and some good times with some good people. Also I turn the big 22, even though its a crap year, seriously 22. I'll probably end up doing jack squat. We'll see. its 4 months away.
What else is hilarious and worth noting? Nothing. Nothing is happening in this life of mine besides the stuff up there? I'm going to end here now cause I'll be pumping out some quality blogs within the next month or so. You got my word on that!!

March Break Madness.
Yes, its another friggin blog entry for me, I know I know I am getting very lazy when it comes to these things, in fact school is eating most of my time, I don't feel like bragging about how school is and how great I'm doing in my classes, but I will talk about it because I have yet to talk about it much since the last time we've read my blog.
If I remember correctly, last time I posted something, it was about early Feb. because I mentioned Between the Buried and Me concert, I really do not want to check, but I think I will just to confirm. Oh fiddles. I was close, my LAST blog post (not update) was something about being inspired about stuff and which was pretty cool, but the last true update was about school first two weeks and the BeeTeeBAM show. Fun? I thinks so :D.
Last time I talked, it was the being of the semester, being lonely and all during my break, well a month later, I am lonely (yet again) and on a break, but MARCH break this time. Muahah. Wait, why am I doing an evil laughter, this mood, does not even call for one! WHAT THE HECK ME. Anyways, yes that is right if you have not concluded, I am on March Break, and its currently Tuesday at 1217am. Just wanted to let you get a time reference so you are "with it" with the pop culture jokes I *might* throw at you. No I don't literally mean throw at you, cause face it, I don't think I can throw a pokemon (yes, pokemon reference cause Heart Gold/Soul Silver came out this weekend) at you cause they do not exsist yet!
K, where was I, *skims the above paragraph* AHA! Yes March Break, I am currently half way done my 2nd semester of this year. This half of the year has been a little easier than my first semester, because A) I know what I'm doing B) I am finally back in the school mode C) Cause Im doing what I enjoy. I say "easier" I don't mean homework is super easy, I just mean the transistion phase is over, and I am able to do homework without really moaning and complaining. Not that I was doing that during the first semester. Anyways, what I am trying to say is, that my marks this semester are A LOT better than semester. There is only one class I'm doing average at, which is that USELESS Architectural Drawing II class. Seriously, I don't mind learning about it, but when you make the homework FRIGGIN IMPOSSIBLE it gets VERY discouraging. Rant Over. (Others might agree with me, we'll see, but no one ever reads this anymore, nor comments on it) One class I am highly enjoying is Intro to Film because I get to learn about how movies are made and watch movies in class. Last week we started The Usual Suspects and I am so glad we are watching it, because I haven't seen it in 7 years and its a great film, watch it! PS MR SOMEBODY IS ACTUALLY MR SOMEONE ELSE. SHHH. Haha, you think I'd actual spoil the movie for you, it's a great ending. Seriously!
Enough about school, Im doin' just aiight. I like it, need a job though, which I am currently looking for one, put my name out two places so far (as of now) will do more this week, West Island, Montreal, Wherever. I need a job for this summer, cause don't know much I'll last next semester with books costing the hundreds and the fee to register! momma mia! Mario, now thats a saying you can say whenever and everyone will know who you are quoting. I mean seriously, Link, you can't really quote him, HIIIIIIYAAAAAAAAAAAA. He needs a voice actor next game, enough reading already Nintendo! If I want to read during a video game, I'll pick up a Final Fantasy game. LINK NEEDS TO TALK TOO! Hes already has 15 games behind him damnit. Anyways jobs. I need one. Anyways jobs, I've applied for a few jobs already, now I wait for the calls and let the money roll right in. Yahhhh Money is great.
Oh yes, 2 things I have not mentioned yet, I saw Muse last week, HOLY SHIT BALLS, was it awesome! Won't go into deets about it, but I am glad I saw these guys, worth the 60$ I paid and it was a great setlist, in my top 5 shows of all time. In July I get to see Dream Theater opening for Iron Maiden. I am hella excited for that show, cause 2 of my favorite bands playing at the same show, that is damn epic and damn exciting!
Ok to be honest I was going to write more, but there was a pause just before I mentioned the two concerts, there was stuff I wanted to mention, but I cant for the life of me. UGH. WHY!!!!! But on a serious note, I did watch LOST, it was an alright episode. 8 more episodes left til the show ends, and Im scared, I have no idea how it will end or what will happen or who will die. :( Oh yaaa. I was going to try to keep an up to date LOST-Blog Review, but I failed. YET AGAIN. Maybe Blogging isn't for me, but still I am almost up to 50 blog posts in 2 years, yeah, this is my 47th blog entry. Its either I have no life or I just have A LOT on my mind. Probably a mix of both. I don't know. you tell me. Oh I did have a work in progress blog, but that failed too, I was going to talk about all my favorite video games, then I realized, thats too much to talk about, so LAAAMMMEEEEE. I'll just dedicate a whole blog on why I like chicken wings. NOW thats something I can get behind.
What else is interesting? OH, my family (read parents) bought a new pool with a new heater, its 4 inches taller (the pool) and the heater is mega awesomely powerful. Gunna be niiiice. Gunna miss Ol' Poolie. Hes been in my life for 16 years, gunna be sad to see him go and Mr Brand New Pool will replace him. Oh well, NEW POOL should be fun. Oh did I mention that I helped Jacob, my film director friend, on a student film about a month ago? Well I can't remember either, so if I did sorry to bore you with this story again, but yes, I helped him out for his creepy, serious coming of age story about a boy in his dads workshop. It's actually a touching story, quite cute too. I was more so the safety person there, but doing various other tasks such as boom mic operator, glass eye fetcher, driver, yeahhh typical stuff. Its what I like to do. Films are fun.
K its getting pretty late for this blogger. I'll TRY to have more random thoughts or just thoughts in general that are blog worthy to keep you readers entertained. Until then, I leave you with these words of wisdom.

Inspiration in a blog post.
Inspiration comes in all shapes, forms, and sizes. It can be a piece of art, it could be a person you idolize, it can even be a book. In some odd cases, drugs and alcohol can be inspiration, but I am not going to touch that because I do not need to be inspired by drugs and alcohol to do something.
One of my first inspirations is obviously my parents. I say this because without them I would not be here, literally, if they did not get together that one night (I can't believe I'm saying this, haha) I would not be here writing this blog post, but besides the fact, without them and their guidance I would be in some other path not doing what I want to do and unhappy. I am grateful for them for putting up with me during my more so "lazy" period of my young life. I am just glad I am not living in our ditch. Thanks Mom and Dad!
There is a lot of people who say music is a big part of their life, but they don't really specify why it is. I for one believe music is a big part in our lives, but it comes down to the people who write the music and perform the music that really gets to us. The first band that comes to mind is Metallica, because they were the first band I really was able to click with after the first few listens, and they were the gateway band for me into the world of music. A few of their songs I truly understand, and I believe they fit in my life real well (no, not Master of Puppets or Harvester of Sorrow and such). There are also the main reason why I picked up the bass, well not them in general, but it was Cliff Burton that really inspired me to pick up the bass and play music. Cliff Burton, Roger Waters, Jason Newsted are the 3 main bass players who I have tried to model myself under while playing the bass for the years I've been practicing.
As for Roger Waters, I am a huge Pink Floyd fan during the Classic Pink Floyd lineup. His bass riffs and lyrics are just so incredible that it is hard for me to criticize (The Final Cut is blah album. I know), but it is mainly The Wall which made truly understand how fantastic Roger Waters truly is. Without Roger Waters and The Wall, I wouldn't have my creative input on the little poems that I write time to time. Back in grade 11, I had some great little verses which were inspired by Pink Floyd/Roger Waters. It has been a while since I've tapped into my mind to bring out something brilliant, but when I do, I have a feeling I'll be listening to some Pink Floyd.
As for songs that inspire me, the one that stands out the most has really helped me during the low parts of my life. "A Change of Seasons" by Dream Theater is truly one of those songs that can help anyone out. The lyrics, the music, the tone is just so moving that it makes me feel better about life and stuff in general. There hasn't yet been a song to top ACOS when Im feeling down and need an upper, but I know once I listen to it, I can really do something.
And finally, my biggest inspiration in my life has to be my friends and the people I interact on a daily basis, because without them, I wouldn't have the will-power to get to school/work. They honestly make my darkest days turn into bearable days that doesn't question my sanity. I don't know if you readers have felt that no social interaction with other people can really affect a person. Its not cool. I don't know if this is a reason why I enjoy school so much now its because I'm with new, different and interesting people that aren't from my neck of the woods. (If any of the Arch Tech classmates of mine are reading this, yes, I am talking about YOU *points directly at the computer screen*) and as for my friends. They make me get up in the morning, they make me fall asleep at night (not literally since it is 1:20am now) but they make my days, weeks, months, years, the absolute best. ( I won't go naming all the people I know, its because you guys/girls know who you are.)
In all, we all have our ups and downs, but it is truly what I wrote about that helps me live day after day, night after night, and so on and on. Without Friends, Music, Family, life would be pretty damn dull and un-motivational. Thank you all.

2 Hour Breaks are lonely.
Hello my fellow readers/followers/stalkers.
How are thou doing on this WONDERFUL Thursday afternoon? I am doing quite well because I am currently on break between my Mechanics class and French class. I did my studying for my french quiz/test, I feel pretty confident on it, its a pretty easy french class because I know my french, but I just need a big refresher since I have not practiced/had french class in 4 years. Mechanics class is a little confusing, but today I finally understood what we will have to find out when it comes to questions. Seems pretty simple to now, gotta practice them now. Beside those two classes, school is going pretty good. Homework is homeworky and studying is going alright, its mostly Arch Drawing 2 is a little overwhelming because there is a lot of drawing to do! Makes my brain hurt. The best class so far is my Intro to Film class because we get to watch movies the entire semester. We have watched some pretty good movies which I'm glad I've seen. So far we've watched: Night on Earth, Almost Famous and C.R.A.Z.Y. All have been enjoyable. I recommend to you readers that you should also watch these movies.
Enough with school, Im getting sick of telling everyone, so now if someone asks me Im going to direct them here. My words are better than me explaining it. On to my concert talkie.
Two weeks ago I went to see Between the Buried and Me w/Cynic, Devin Townsend Project and Scale the Summit @ Club Soda. Its my 2nd time seeing BTBAM and StS (on the Progressive Nation tours) and first time seeing Devin Townsend and Cynic which both bands I was very excited to witness them live. As for Scale the Summit, I am not really into instrumental music live. It bores me. I'd rather listen to them on cd and at home, and it seems like their songs have the same forumla, bores me. Next Devin Townsend came on and WOW. I've witness fans go nuts AFTER a band plays (3 is a good example unknown band and turned the crowd into loving them), but for Devin, the crowd was RED HOT from the very beginning. He is Canadian, so that helps, but also he has the greatest on stage presence I've witnessed. He knows how to get the crowd going, also one hilarious man. Since cutting off his scary balding mullet, he gives the impression that he looks like David Cross. Slap some glasses on him and he can be David Cross.
As for Cynic, I LOVED their 2008 release: Traced In Air, and they played a handful, if not, the full album live, plus a new song. The crowd seemed to be dead during Cynic's set, but I enjoyed them from start to finish, and I got to hear my favorite Cynic song, The Space For This. Fantastic. Next came the headliner, BTBAM. I was excited to see them, crowd was killer, lots of moshing and crowd surfing, I stayed away from it, I just dont want my glasses to fly off and be dee-stroyed. All their songs were their epics and they were all my favorite songs too. It was wild! After the show was over, I was able to shake the hands of all the members besides the drummer, pretty sick show.
My next show which is coming up less than a Month now is MUSE! I am FREAKING excited for it, just because ITS MUSE! HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THESE GUYS! MUSE! Thats all what Im going to say............. MUSE!
LOST Season 6 finally started last week, I am pretty happy about it. So far its been enjoyable, a new flash device was given to us. Not entirely sure why they are showing us this, but Im sure in the long run it'll mean something, but who knows. Also great to see Charlie, Boone, and Claire back in the mix sort of, also John Locke that we all know and love... sorta? But the premiere was BAD ASS. Thats all Im saying. Bad ass.
I was going to mention something, but I actually forgot... I got distracted with two classes from my arch year that are on their breaks. Thanks guys! (and gals!)

He is Canadian, so that helps, but also he has the greatest on stage presence I've witnessed. He knows how to get the crowd going, also one hilarious man. Since cutting off his scary balding mullet, he gives the impression that he looks like David Cross. Slap some glasses on him and he can be David Cross.
As for Cynic, I LOVED their 2008 release: Traced In Air, and they played a handful, if not, the full album live, plus a new song. The crowd seemed to be dead during Cynic's set, but I enjoyed them from start to finish, and I got to hear my favorite Cynic song, The Space For This. Fantastic. Next came the headliner, BTBAM. I was excited to see them, crowd was killer, lots of moshing and crowd surfing, I stayed away from it, I just dont want my glasses to fly off and be dee-stroyed. All their songs were their epics and they were all my favorite songs too. It was wild! After the show was over, I was able to shake the hands of all the members besides the drummer, pretty sick show.
My next show which is coming up less than a Month now is MUSE! I am FREAKING excited for it, just because ITS MUSE! HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THESE GUYS! MUSE! Thats all what Im going to say............. MUSE!
LOST Season 6 finally started last week, I am pretty happy about it. So far its been enjoyable, a new flash device was given to us. Not entirely sure why they are showing us this, but Im sure in the long run it'll mean something, but who knows. Also great to see Charlie, Boone, and Claire back in the mix sort of, also John Locke that we all know and love... sorta? But the premiere was BAD ASS. Thats all Im saying. Bad ass.
I was going to mention something, but I actually forgot... I got distracted with two classes from my arch year that are on their breaks. Thanks guys! (and gals!)

NYC Trip Day 1 - October 9th 2009
Alrighty now boys and girls, I am writing here from our NYC hotel room at 7pm, and what a DAY it has been so far and I have only been in New York City only for a few hours.
We left our comfy home at 6am, it was a cold cold and dark early morning. The drive here isn't worth mentioning. There was traffic in New Jersey just before the Lincoln Tunnel. That was a rush so far just entering the city and seeing Giants Stadium and the City Skyline.
The Lincoln Tunnel drive was pretty neat, I took a nice video then emerging through the tunnel into the open/closed concrete jungle of New York City. Once entering the city I was just overwhelmed by the massiveness of the city, and thats just one little area of the island!
Once arriving to our hotel, we dropped off our luggage and then we were off to explore NYC! Our first stop was Madison Square Garden to get some KISS tickets. The KISS show is tomorrow, my dad and I are going to see them, should be epic. Our tickets may not the best seats in the house, but who cares, its a concert at Madison Square Garden! Hells yah. We then continued to walk down 7th Avenue and headed towards Time Square.
Hole. Lee. Shit. You have to be there to understand the massiveness and epicness and wackiness of Time Square. Theres lights, signs, videos, billboards and TONS of people. Its crazy crazy! After shaking off the craziness, we walked down to the Ed Sullivan Theater and saw where The Late Show w/David Letterman is filmed. Pretty rad. Then we walked to the CBS store and I got the Bro Code book. Awesome.
We then continued to walk around, we saw Rupert (that Deli guy David Letterman talks to time to time). That was cool. We then made our way to the NBC Studios and to the NBC Store/30 Rockefeller Center. Saw the Ice Rink. Picked up a few The Office merch. Awesome. After that we went to go eat at Bubba Gump's Shrimp restaurants. For you who are unaware what that is, its a restaurant based on idea in the movie, Forrest Gump. Holy manwich, the food is fantastic there. It was located right on Time Square, right in from where ABC tapes there Good Morning America show.
After a very very tasty meal, we walked back to our hotel room. Now I am sitting here writing my blog informing you, the readers how my day went. My first thoughts of NYC is that its epic and massive. So much to see. Tomorrow, the family and I are off to Central Park, some Museums, other stuff, and most of all KISS AT MSG!. Should be a lot of fun, and lots of walking :D. Can't wait!
Be back tomorrow, roughly 11/1130 after the KISS concert.
