Today was the last day where Michelle and I both lived downtown. You see, Michelle has finished all of her course work for pharmacy and is moving out of rez and back to her parents place. So we spent the afternoon walking around U of T's downtown campus taking pictures of ourselves in front of all the buildings. And then we went for coffee and reminisced about our times downtown and the friends we met. In about a month I will also finish my school work, but I'll probably stay downtown for a while. Getting my life in order and whatnot. By the way if anyone's work force is currently lacking an aerospace engineer give me a ring.

I'm going to take off and wrap some Christmas presents now. I'll see you all soon. BUT FIRST:

Beware the easing calm
of twinkling tinsel on the tree.
Beware the drowsy fumes
of drinks soooo apple cidery.
For killer candy cane cookies
are lurking here-abouts.
Too many years long past
have we ignored their silent shouts.

Always first, we snapped the neck
then chomped through to tender core.
One by one each cookie crumbled
in horrific cookie gore.
And now they're here for vengence
with plans we all should dread.
Lucky for us, they have no arms
and we can swallow them down instead.

Hello,

Today is Dec. 9th 2006, the 24th anniversary of my beautiful Michelle's birth. She's been working hard on studying for her Therapeutic's exam, which is a tough course. So she's a bit busy today and can't really celebrate all that much. So we'll have to celebrate later.

As for me. I'm just working on my thesis. I'm looking forward to Friday, when everything is due and should be done for both me and Michelle, and we'll be heading out with our friend's for a little bit of fun.

So until I see everyone for Christmas, have fun and happy holidays.

pop rocks,
little focks,
bringing down the house.
lose a shin,
take one in,
my pc's buzzing mouse.
i ate a turkey,
i feel murky,
pizza pizza pie.
i found a dime,
it was mine,
i think im gonna fly.

Umbrella Man

Oh Umbrella Man, there is no rain today.
Your poncho has no purpose, there's no wet to keep away.
Oh Umbrella Man, I see you smiling wryly.
It's all a ruse to wear your boots, of which you think quite highly.

At lunch today, me and some buds were playing road hockey at school and we broke a window. It's the first window I've ever helped break. Who'd've thought that a hockey/ baseball/ football/ soccer/ frisbee playing guy would break his first window at 24.

Also, this Saturday is the first playoff frisbee game for my frisbee team. It's gonna be sweet as pie.

Friday,

Today is Friday. Friday's are nice and I look forward to them. On Friday Michelle and I go out for dinner. I think tonight we will go to a noodle place by my house. We have been in mourning for our old noodle place, 'Double Happiness', that went out of business recently. Maybe this new place will be even better, but will it serve us deep fried banana for dessert?...that remains to be seen.


Michelle's going to go home for the weekend. She's going to keep her sister Kelly company until their parents return from their China trip on Sunday. I think I'd like to go to Hong Kong some time. I'll need to brush up on my Cantonese.

I'll probably work on my thesis this weekend, and play frisbee and hockey on Saturday. I'll go for coffee with some friends. When I phone my friend Jason to go for coffee he knows immediately that Michelle has gone home for the weekend and that I'm bored out of my mind.

So I was surfing the net the other day and I found a webpage on making a log cabin, so I says to myself, 'Awesome Jay, you should do that!1!!!11!' So I told Michelle that I was going to build a log cabin maybe as a cottage or something. And she was like, 'I guess putting in the electricity is going to be hard, through all the logs and stuff.' And then I was all flabbergasted cause I never thought of putting electricity in the log cabin. I guess it goes to show that Michelle and I are on different wavelengths when it comes to log cabins.

Sincerely,
Jay David Tse-Gai Loftus

A Story of Popsicles

There was a boy named Jeremy. He had a popsicle. It was delicious, but he dropped it. His friend Sarah also had a popsicle. She looked at the grounded popsicle, crusted with dirt, and she looked at Jeremy's sad sad face. So she dropped her popsicle too. And they went to Bobby's house and ate some popcorn.

Memories that shaped me:

-Jumping off my roof into piles of snow with Kris Orson.
-Walking in the school yard by myself.
-Playing in with gt snow racers in the winter, then coming inside and drinking hot chocolate.
-I played with Lego instead of seeing my dying grandfather in the hospital.
-Playing baseball with Kris Orson in my front yard. We used a little ball-shaped cedar tree for a strike zone.
-Building 2 kayaks with my dad.
-My mom doing the origami folds that I couldn't do, like the squash fold.
-Folding paper airplanes for everyone at recess until everyone had a plane and the air was filled with planes and laughter.
-Hitting Kevin with tennis ball in the nose and giving him a bloody nose.
-Being yelled at by Mr.Chapman.
-Dropping dad's comb in the toilet, then flushing it to get rid of the evidence.
-Shaving my right eyebrow when I was little, 'cause it was the only facial hair I had.
-Being driven to hockey games with my dad and listening to Paul Simon and/or Enya.

Teenage angst.

I used to have a whole lot of teenage angst. I wanted to figure out the meaning of life by age 20. I failed, but I am much less angsty about the whole issue.

The Exit Doors Swing Inwards

And now we're all paying
The crowd is surging forwards
But the exit doors swing inwards
It looks like we'll be staying

Last Weekend

Last weekend I went home with my sister, Melissa, and her fiancé, Mark, to visit my parents in Peterborough. My mom took us out to a restaurant Bonfire, which is a Swiss Chalet clone but still pretty yummy. And then the next day we went to my dad's and had a turkey dinner at my dad's. Later that night I went to my friend Roland's house, and hung out with da boyz. We played the Lego Star Wars 2 game. Out of all the lego computer games I've played, this one is my favorite. Then on Sunday I went to Michelle's house, and I went shopping with them. I think I've got some sort of shopping neurosis, because after about 5 minutes of girl shopping I get all antsy and want to lie down.

I'm happy for my friends. They all seem to be in a really comfy part of their lives. Everyone seems to be doing what they want and we all get to see each other every so often and it's really nice. I'm happy where I am in my life too. Life is good.

Regards,
Jay

The Ichthyologist

In Parry Sound there was an Ichthyologist. He wasn't sure why he became an Ichthyologist, but it was probably due to the fact that his father was an Ichthyologist, and his grandfather was an Ichthyologist, and so on. In fact, he was a fifth generation Ichthyologist. But he wasn't sure if it was what he really wanted to do. Even at the age of 45, after a distinguished career, he would look around his home at the black and white photographs of his Ichthyologicking ancestors and feel like he was a poser.

That night he went to sleep wracked with a myriad of internal strife. And in his sleep it came to him... a dream creature... a marvelous specimen of the Ichthyological variety. "Why? Why do you question who you are?" it said. "Look in my eyes! Look deep!" So he gazed deeply into the dark orbs and behold! He saw himself!

He started awake, and pulled himself straight up in bed. He knew in his heart that something was fishy, and it was himself.

My family is all grown up

I have come to the realization that my entire family, including myself, is all grown up. Just a little while ago we were all in university, plugging away... then bam! My sisters are either married or engaged, with full-fledged careers. And I'm working on a second degree, with a girlfriend who Zeus himself could not tear away from me.

I hope I still get Christmas presents.

Twitch City DVD

Twitch City is my favorite tv show and guess what... it's being release on DVD Sept 19 2006. How sweet is that? So what I recommend is for everyone to go out and buy a copy 'cause it's awesome. And if you watch it then you'll be awesome too.

This weekend

This weekend I went to a wooden boat show , and I brought my canoe to show off. It was nice to have fellow boat builders compliment your work. I was really glad I went.

I also hung out with my sisters and mom, which was fun. Maryann is heading off to Wales soon so it was good to see her before she's off.

I went to Jenn and Gord's party on Saturday night. Most everyone was there. Roland got irresponsibly intoxicated... tsk tsk, and I played with a Dora the Explora' toy fishing pole. Awesome to the max.

Michelle had a weekend downtown with her sister Kelly. I think they had a fun sisterly time.

When I have more to report, I will diligently do so.

Ever so sincerely,
Jay David Tse-gai Loftus VII

Welcome, welcome to my world.

I have high hopes to finish my master's thesis by this december. That'll be sweet as pie. I went home to Peterborough this past weekend. It was crazy since my mother was still in hyper mode from her trip to Hong Kong. It's difficult to remain calm when you have a tornado mom spinning around the house. I think it got to my girlfriend Michelle too.

I think Michelle and I will head up to her cottage for the weekend. We've invited some of her friends so it should be a blast and a half.

Also last weekend I went canoeing with Michelle at my dad's new place using my homemade cedar strip canoe. It was really nice and calm.

That's it for now. Over and out.
Jay

I lost my soul to killer monkeys.
They attacked me at College and Spadina.
Their claws went for my eyes, but missed
And ripped my soul to shreds.

This is Jay again.

My dad and Carmen moved recently, that's something. Michelle (my gf) is away with her parents and sister on vacation. I hope she's having a good time. Nothing much is up with me.

I'll tell you a story:

Once upon a time there was a cricket of doom with fiery red eyes and a countenance to match. One day he came upon a family having a picnic. They looked picturesque with their wicker basket, fine white clothes and fancy blanket, completely unaware of the hellish mayham the cricket of doom was about to unleash. But then a robin ate the cricket.
ThE eNd

I don't really have much to write in my blog. I'm still working on my thesis, but it's taking longer than I thought it would. Probably because I'm writing in my blog instead of working on it. I hope to graduate soon because I would like to get the hell out of school.

Also, Michelle is going on a trip to Europe with her family in a couple of days. I guess I'll have to relearn how to entertain myself while she's gone. Maybe I'll just visit my sister or something. She probably has some food I can eat too.

Anyway I'm going back to work on my thesis.

See you later, aligator.

Things I want:
50" plasma HDTV
House
Car (prius)
mountain bike
rollerblades
faster computer
spaceship

Frickin' Post #1 Bitches

Hello, welcome to my post world. I will put up my thoughts on this site and it will be awesome. So hold on to your hats and your toupees 'cause this could get rowdy.

So... a little about me. I'm 24, a boy, doing my Master's in Aerospace Engineering. I'm would say that I'm one of those sci-fi nerds who was socially awkward since age 9. But now has such awesomeness as to blow your mind!

Okay that's it for now. Ciao.
