I feel that I am half as weird as an extremely weird person. Maybe two-thirds.

I have a recipe for a delicious desert. It takes one pineapple. Cut it. Serve chilled.

I most certainly feel more alive when the sun is down. Why? Insert cheesy vampire reference here.

I see ties in my closet and then after a while I break down and wear one. Keep immorality out of my closet.

I love giant abrupt changes from light things to heavy ones, or vice versa.

I get itchy from my blanket and talk to my future wife before I sleep.

I feel like I seek true hearts, but most people inside are about diamonds spades or clubs. Uhh.. Spades are up arrows, so, worldly success. Clubs are luck, or … violence. Phew, analogy saved.

I still don’t get bored unless I wait for things. The Sheridan brain is sometimes a locomotion machine and sometimes a cyclical perpetual motion machine. Lately more of the latter.

I like words, but realize this is a knowledge barrier thrust upon people I communicate with.

I am twenty five, but don’t want this to be twenty six. Four months to evolve. Luckily, it would be behavioral not biological evolution.

I am Sheridan, this is where I am.

I’m not really in a place to be lengthy in writing.
Hmm. Perhaps I’ve decided I’ve said everything I can about life, or opinions except for little things that are of small consequences. I could word things elegantly as an art form, but there is little to inspire.

Christmas music comes around once a year. Once a year I need that medicine. Perhaps twice.

Having things in order, automated, easy, is the goal of many. But with that goal reached, and free time increased, then you have nowhere to hide from yourself.

I like pineapples, the word and the fruit, but I ate 10% of it and let the rest grow mold. I’m not sure why I don’t open my fridge and go ‘hmm…. pineapple!’. When I do go ‘hmm…’ , it is usually for a sobe pina colada, which, oddly enough has some pineapple flavor.

I jumped on board some jpop(link) /kpop(link)a few months ago and I’ve really not stopped. Embedded is some favorite korean content. Despite being miss certified superfine, Dambi’s appearance only the second reason I like this video. The first: it is quite pleasant and soothing. The third: it’s sad/romantic. The second: she’s very pretty. Oh, ya, I said that.

Son Dambi’s Invisible Person … good title.

Oh Halifax,
Things I don’t expect to ever see elsewhere and hope to remember.

And oh Canada…

• Andreanne Sasseville’s music minute before a movie, why do i pick her out? She’s just an advertising talking robot, but I still like her. French Canadian pleasantry goes a long way. She was the first to mention Lights to me, so props to her.
• George Strombo nobody interviews like him with legitimate edge, and legitimate mainstreamity.
• Racial acceptance. It just seemed like it never came up negatively, just like the cool cultural parts of people’s background. Haters were the weird ones (or the foreign ones). Plus, there were more asians , even in halifax… sadface. To all asians, if you move to phoenix, i’ll buy you some of those pretzel sticks that don’t taste very good. Or maybe some fishy snacks that are awful.
• Snow. Note that Ice Rain is definitely not on this list.
• Leaving your door unlocked and not freaking out about it.
• Second Cup.
• Hockey. (duh.)
• A government bureaucracy that seems like they put in effort to be helpful.
• Decent public school system.
• Colored money. – I don’t miss coins though. It is nice to never carry change.
• Cultural food. More than one Thai restaurant in the whole city, and actual sushi…. sigh. A real mediterranean restaurant would be nice.
• Political pleasantry.
• Cora’s. A breakfast place that won’t cause heart disease.
• Cheap, entertaining football.
• Winter Heart. Watching a football game while in parkas and multiple blankets, or even a sleeping bag for warmth, that’s Canadian heart.

I walk very quickly. Ice slows me down a little, but not that much. I mean I’m a Canadian; I should be able to walk across hockey rinks, frozen sidewalks, roofed igloos and the like.

But today I was like this man — on a large slanted parking lot, my nimbility failed me.

This week I ate sushi with a spoon, sorry chopsticks, to the left, to the left
I opened packages with a pen, sorry knife, to the left, to the left
I drank water from a bowl, sorry cup, to the left, to the left

But it doesn’t have to be as weird
Haven’t bought an alarm clock – thanks cell phone
I forget an umbrella so out comes the hood
No bread for a sandwich, bust out a tortilla.
In the mood for some jack johnson, play some jason mraz on three quarters speed
No date for saturday night dinner, bring out the notebook.
Family not around, hmm, … fly home and see them.

Lights EP B++
by Lights from Sept 2008

So then there’s this new electro light pop sensation from Toronto called Lights (music video was linked a post or two ago). So I thought I’d bust out an actual music review. What is the verdict? Great so far! And according to the heavy play time in the past week or two. I definitely recommend it. She has airy, pleasant, technoy, nice melodies. I like the lyrics even if they are repetitive (such is the nature of electropop) It reminds me of innocent Britney Spears, which I definitely wasn’t much of a fan at the time. This is better because its got more dancy synth. Plus I can turn shadows into white. (My fav song so far)

Check it out if you like very feminine light dance pop. Hah. I guess thats me? Maybe its you.

—ok, review over, personal gushing time.

I dont know what it is about girls who are nerdy, freedom to be an individual, appreciation of a common art form, or entertainment form.

I am a new fan and while watching one of her blogs, I noticed she talks sooo quickly! Wow. She says she lost her nintendo ds with super mario and final fantasy and goes to pretend like she’s playing a ds using a kleenex box. Oh what a nerd, but very cute. (I lost my DS with super mario too! It was even pink… hah)

Oh, she talks about her spider, lance, as like an adult, hah, its also quite cute. She made him talk back with a paper comic book speech bubbles.

And made a pile of fans hold pieces of paper with <3 , no not an actual heart, it was a < and a 3. Hah, nerd.

cute.

I think a lot of people get bored. They might be sitting at home on their computer, telling me they are bored. But I am doing the same thing and I am not bored.

Also, maybe I am waiting in line at the store, people around me get impatient, perhaps they are bored. Again, I am not bored (music helps).

I don’t necessarily think music is the interesting part for me. My mind just functions in a way that I can entertain myself in various situations. I might look forward to something ending, or starting, but in the meantime I can usually fill my thoughts with something. Perhaps the next blog topic to write or what i’m going to set my facebook status too, hah.

However, I did find out how to get bored. Waiting for someone for an unknown period of time is BORING. If I can foresee the delay, i can brain wander, but if it could end at anymoment and action commences, I have to remain in this state of preparedness. I hate that. I need to learn not to hate that because I will almost certainly have my life intertwined to another and there will be times when our timings are not perfect and will require waiting.

Or maybe I will die alone, but not of boredom! hah.

I was dissecting my dinner, a whole chicken. I felt like a monster, tearing muscles from the cartilidge and bone. Other chickens would hate me, and more than hate, but loathe, fear, shun. An enemy on the most basic of levels.

But hey, its just how it is, they are made out of meat, don’t hate me for being an omnivore.

I wonder if I can parallel this to a psychological or sociological insight. Like how some dentists rip out teeth but its just their job. A loved one might make you feel crappy, but maybe they are doing that for your own benefit. I dont think it translates to “some people are just bad and you have to deal with it” we have free will in behavior. I suppose we have free will in diet, but I just like meat too much. Rawr, i am eating your leg stupid bird!

I survived the ides of march. Did you?

I have been living with a cat and I have related this to people. Some just walk around, want attention, then get out of the way when work needs to be done. They make noise and might cuddle or sit on your lap but they don’t really contribute or have any depth. Of course they are just animals but if i get a girlfriend who was like that, I will light my socks on fire, then i should wake up, give her a can of food and kick her out the door. (No i don’t have anyone like this right now, I am just hypothesizing future problems because my life is so vacant of real problems)

I also minireview some things!

My room is at the top. Gets a bit cold at night but the view is awesome! I bought a lava lamp for some mood lighting.
