Blank Slate

It's Chinese New Years, and I've lost my wallet. I'm blaming it on the lethargy that creept onto me after that gruellingly dull Database tutorial. I'm sure I've dropped it somewhere between Sydney Smith and Robarts, after I pocked it carelessly when my withdraw request was unsuccessful at the Sydney Smith ATM. Ironicly, only my bank card remains now, since I decided to hold it in my hand rather than put it back into the wallet. There wasn't any money in my wallet, the only thing with immidiate value was my metro pass. All my ids are lost though, health card, driver's liscense, student card.... you name it. I walked all over today, went to every lost and found offices I could imagine. Alas, no luck, I'm afraid the wallet is forever lost. I have to replace all my ids now. I wanted to go the computer lab to distract myself from this predictment. When I got to the lab, I suddenly realized that I can't get in without my student card, ouch. Losing virtually all my ids on New Year, is that an omen of some sort? Symbolically, my ids are everything that identifies me as who I am isn't it? Maybe it means I will break my ties to the past, and become a new me this year, for better or for worse.

Protection from sharp sharp teeth

Being tired of keep getting cuts inside my mouth when Matt knees me or elbows me in the mouth, I finally broke down and bought a mouth guard. I picked the $20 kind over the $5 made in China brand. Since this thing is gonna be put inside my mouth, I figured I better be safe than sorry. It's actually pretty cool, featuring all kinds of high techy stuff like holes in the guard for breathing ( Although it's under my teeth, does this mean my teeth breath? ), shiny semi-transparant rubbery surface that gets molded to the shape of my bite, and other cusion things that supposedly protect me from everything from lacerations in the mouth to having my brain turned into jello. The guard does makes my mouth look swollen, plus makes me look like one of those serious wrestling types. Now I'll have no excuse to slack off during randori. All of the sudden, my martial art practice have gotten so serious. I found out that the Fencing Salle is opened on Fridays. This means I'll be practicing some sort of martial art on tues, thurs, fri, sat, ( and possibly monday ). That's 4 times a week, woosh.

今日の武術クラスはすごかった。 とてもとても疲れたけど、楽しかった。 今からもっと頑張る、本当の武術家になるよ。

It's a sure sign that I've been cooped up inside too long when I'm attracted to virtually every single girl I see ( minus the really heinous ones of course ). Thank god school started.

木曜日に高校の友達と映画を見ました。 "Cold Moutain"を見ました、おもしろかったです。 友達と久しぶり会わなかったから、なにが言っていいのことがわからなかった。 だが、友達に会ってだけで、幸せですよ。

I think I just did something really stupid. It was around closing time for our store whe this guy came in. He asked me to help him out with cab fare cause he needs to get to Toronto Generals. He claims that his aunt got sent to the hospital for some reason, and he doesn't have enough money on him for a cab. We actually kind of know his aunt, so to make a long story short, I broke down and gave him 20 bucks out of my own pocket. He was getting frantic, and started trying to let me keep his coat and everything. It is the holidays I suppose, so some generousity seemed like the thing to do. I have to admit it went against my better judgement. There are a lot of sketchy people around my neighbourhood, I probably shouldn't be so trusting with a stranger. I normally don't. I'm a cynical bastard, remember? Anways, happy holidays people.
