"The Beach Boys without Wilsons is like water without waves"
By the way, i am listening to, "The Beach Boys In Concert 1973"...my favorite live album of all time next to the Ramones "It's Alive" from 1979 (It was not released in the US till 1995)
I remember the show because i was supposed to pick a friend of mine from the Passage, but my brother did not want to drive all the way over to the Passage (oh like it was so far...) Needlessly to say, i have not spoken to this friend ever since...i phoned once that year from Tower to say i was sorry, but his Father said he was rather displeased with me, i haven't bothered to phone since... i did sent a grad pic to his parents address in 2003, a way of saying sorry...(Yeah Robbo...like looking at your fricking mug is a good way of saying sorry....) so Thor...Jason...if you ever read... i am sorry about the Beach Boys fiasco of summer 2001-02... hopefully we can drink beers someday and reminace about how silly were all really were in the general scheme of things...
Man yesterday in modern theory class, the cute girl with the Princess Leia hair sat behind me and was in my discussion group, she tried to nominate me to be the speaker for our group, but the prof wasn't having it, i speak too much in class...aboot everything. It was a good class causse we talked about how Cuba has free education for everyone and the question of, is education really for everyone and what does the world really need- is it edducators or is it people workingg in the service industry? We also hit on the subject of people who go to university who work as much as one to three part time jobs while attending places of education such as Acadia University, these are the students who really want to earn it, some people, like i have stated before are here only cause of what their last name is, who their parents are..like the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase used to say..."MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!!" More power to all that do work- we become more and more dependent on work in order to have an education...Anyways, I walked her up the hill after class, she plays gutair and i asked her if she plays power cords...two strings ala Johnny Ramone...she laughed..cuteness personified, must have scared her off, she did not show up our night class...well, not really many people showed up for our night class and after break at 8:30 last night, alot of people did not bother coming back....if i was that prof, i would take a picture in my brain of all those skippers and not reward them with anything for the rest of the damned year!!!! They did miss an informative class on teachers and their plight in the educational system today in Canada, esp those who teach lower grades and the stereotypes that they must face, especially female teachers who are seen as being babysitters by many parents, there are debates over struggles over teaching as a profession has led to frustration and demoralization amongst teachers- many teachers do not feel valued and this feeling has not been aided by the continued cutbacks in education and we did touch on the hidden curriculum, which i remind people is the informal process and organization in the educational system, it is not written in the books, but everyone knows about it...sometimes i feel like i am a victim of both the hidden curriculum and the glass ceiling....Hey...i was once one of those skippers!!! Skipper!!!!! Gilligan!!!! Man...i am going nutty on me birthday eh? Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah...me copy of Les Chiefs came in this weekend and i am waiting for my b-day gathering at the house to view it with the family on our 52 inch telly!!!..View trailer HERE!!!!! Me and Dunker went to the Axe last nite before my class, maybe that is why i was so attentive during class as i had one Rum and Coke and a DOUBLE Rum and Coke... i wish they used Appleton's Rum...but i am not going to bitch aboot a b-day drink... Dunker showed me picys of his trip to Guatamala...always Dunker and his trips, he was almost shot in Cuba a few yrs ago, propositioned by hookers in Mexico... he is the International Tower Man!!!! Sooooooooo...anyone watch WWE RAW last night and see the one night reunion of the ROCKERS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?????!!!!! Man...i was marking out badly!!! On the other hand, Jake"The Snake"Roberts looked terrible...i still remember me and Jason and the gang going outback of the Halifax Forum after a WWF card in February of 1988 and chasing wrestlers like Jim Duggan and the Ultimate Warrior in anticipation of getting their autographs, Jake the Snake came out, beer in hand and heading for his taxi and promptly turning us down for any autograph, we still cheered...that was so Jake The Snake...the drunk...i mean snake...we used to call a girl Jake the Snake...yikes...homely....So much homework to do! Tomorrow me Quanitative Assignment #2 has to be in by 4:00, i am picking up me Modern Theory take-home examination during class at 2:30...we have until Monday of next week to have that puppy done, we are having class in Carnegie Room 203- The Engineering Building, there is a special guest coming in from Cuba to talk about the impact of Che Guevara on Cuba, it should be interesting stuff. Well...this morning i was reading the Ath...i know, i myself like many McNutts feel that the paper is many times useless and does deny us good reporting on many occassions, however as i turned the pages while drinking me Perkins coffee, something on les page 8 suprised me...someone is trying to revive Radio Acadia??!?!?!?!?! ....again....Anyways i fired off an email to the student, person, whoever that is trying to get this project off the ground and i offered my services to help with the program, i mean i do have experience...K-Tech with the B**** of the Baskervilles in 1995-96, the original Radio Acadia in 2000-01 with Jacko, and at CHMA at MTA last yr in 2003-04, a little spread out over the yrs, but there is three yrs of experience there that the people behind the station can draw from, besides...it would be neat to be behind the scenes at the radio station in addition to being behind the microphone again... i gurantee, i get behind the mike and i tell as many as i can that i am behind that mic, the listeners will tune in...i can get the listeners...maybe not as many as i want, my shows have always had a strange kind of audience anyways, sort of an identification with the underdogs, the underappreciated, my shows have always been personal, playing my favorite bands and up and comers, sticking to Canadian content rules as much as possible, attracting attention from the good, bad and the ugly...maybe not always in that order though...showing the kids how its done, but they always get the attention cause their prettier, skinnier....damn hacks... credit where credit is do, before i beat on the brat with a baseball bat...
Soooooooo...it should be interesting to see exactly how many people show up to Quanitative Methods tonight eh? Seeing as it is Game FIVE of the AUHC Finals tonight in Wolfville at 7:30...i am considering asking me prof to at least put on the radio or webcast of the game while we work on our assignments in class, seeing as tonight is being designated as a workshop rather than a class, besides a good number of the team is in me class and they obviously will not be attending class tonight... it is just a thought.... anywho, i thinks i should go..get another cup of java and get cracking on some of these silly old assignments for these silly old classes, then home tomorrow or Thursday morning, working Thursday, Friday and Sunday...i have Saturday off and someonee who requested a date with me had a better be a paying attention... anyways webslingers/ webslingerettes i am off for now...lates!!!
