Fuck Bj Upton

I am mainly writing this as a way of putting off studying for my chemistry midterm. I was gettin' super pissed off cause I wasn't understanding some of the stuff I should so I decided to take a breather.

I wrote my first midterm last week, and I am kinda weary about how I did on it. When I started writing it I thought it was a breeze and ripped through the first few questions with relative ease, after that was a multiple choice section that I was kindy sketchy about, I knew the answers to probably about 3/4 of the questions but the teacher worded the questions very oddly so it was hard to choose the right answer, even if you knew the shit that the question was asking...if that makes sense. So I finished the test feeling pretty good and had a bunch of time to look over my test, which is a good thing because upon rechecking it I found that the first question was asking something completly different from what I answered (if you want to know, the question was to draw the molecular make up of a trans fat, I had drawn an unsaturated fat). I had no idea what the actual answer was and tried to make it up but I doubt I will get any marks on it which sucks since the question was outta 10. After that fiasco I scoped the rest of my answers and started to get sketched out about it cause when I reread the questions I started 2nd guessing some of my answers which is never good. I didn't change to many cause you always gotta go with your gut but I will still be weary until I get my test back. Also, I had no idea what the trans fat drawing was supposed to look like so when I got home from writing the test I checked the text to see and it wasn't even in the book! I checked my notes as well and there was nothing and seeing since I haven't missed any classes I don't know how I was supposed to know the answer to that question...weird.

After my midterm was done I had the rest of the day to hang out, which I did. That evening a show was going on downtown Van. Vanguard was playing with Slingshot, Life in Hand and Bodyguard, so I was planning on heading to that. Before the show Hoontaar (Hunter) invited me to Bo Khang with him and some others and that place rules so there was no way I was gonna turn him down. I made my way down there and a big group of us went to the restaurant and enjoyed an excellent (although expensive) meal and then rolled to the show.

Bodyguard was setting up when we got there (we missed some other band that I can't remember) so I took some time to say hi to a bunch of friends that were already there. It was kinda weird at the show since all the people that I knew dispersed into groups with like 3 people I didn't know so I was kinda left without anyone to talk to or trying to join a group of people that I didn't know. It was kinda a bummer but whatever. Bodyguard played a good thrashy set, some people were moshin to them and gettin into it, which I liked cause usually people don't feel this band. Life in Hand set up after them and I was excited to see them since I hadn't really listened to them before and a bunch of people had hyped them up to me. They played a rad set, lots of energy and they sounded real good. Vanguard played 3rd and people really got into them, kids were moshin'. I missed a couple of their songs cause I was waiting outside/walking to meet Lennea who had just got off her shift at Red Robin. When we got back we watched a couple more songs before they finished. I forgot to mention but the show was at The Sweatshop, which is a skatepark in the basement of a skateshop so in between sets we could watch kids skate the mini ramp they had down there. Dylan tried to get me to try it but I declined since I suck at skating and would just make a fool of myself and probably get hurt, not worth it. Slingshot took awhile to set up so me and Lennea mingled around and talked to some people while we were waiting. Mike Jakes and Shane told us a pretty wild story that involved a friend of Shane's, Amsterdam and a couple dead girls. You can ask about it if you want the full story (it's worth it). After the story Slingshot started playing and I decided to sit this one out and not sing-along due to the fact that the Bo Khang was not sittin stellar in my gut so I just found a place to stand and watch. The guys played pretty much all their material including a few new songs which sounded awesome and a cover. It was a good set and everyone was happy. After the show me and Lennea headed home pretty quick as it was getting late and Lennea hadn't eaten anything all day.

Saturday Lennea went to Abbotsford to hang with her family so I just hung out at home all day solo. I pretty much did nothing but laze around and watch the UFC and baseball. I actually started to feel super gross so I decided to go for a run and get some exercise. I actually surprised myself on the run and went for way longer than I thought I would be able to. I paid for it when I got home though and felt super sick and had to lay down for like an hour.
Sunday was pretty much heart break central for me since the Red Sox lost in game 7 after having the crazy comeback in game 5 and narrowly winning game 6. I fucking hate Tampa Bay, especially BJ Upton and Evan Longoria, seriously fuck those dudes. Also, I can't stand all these douchebags that are cheering on Tampa and talking like they have been pulling for them all season cause they are the "underdogs." Give me a break, the team has had no support all season and even when they were 1st in the division they couldn't sell out at their home field. Now all of a sudden that they are playing good in the post season they just have all these band wagoner fans that had no idea who 1 player on the team was before the beginning of the series with the Red Sox. Seriously, go watch soccer you band wagon fucks. Anyways, I never thought I would cheer for an NL team but I hope Philly wipes the grin off all you idiot Tampa "fans."
Next year Sox will win it.

Pretty much that sums up everything exciting that has happened in between updates. I guess I should get back to studying now, ugh. Wish me luck on my chem midterm.
