pre-karaoke

i forgot to mention the best part about last night! on our way walking to the karaoke place, some guitar playin street performer literally appears from outta nowhere and starts playing. we looked indifferent to what he was playing and i guess he figured he had to try and figure out what'd catch our attention to be able to entertain us and get some cash. he starts playing something else and i'm like "oh shiiiiit! i know this song...oh man! this is 'wish you were here'...siiiick! he's playing pink floyd!" i was happy. as i chuck two loonies into his sack attached to his guitar i tell him to follow along with us and play the tune. we walk for another minute or so, and he's singing and having good, as was i, and then two girls appear on the sidewalk in front of us (along with a large male companion). The guitar dude, without missing a beat, continues playing while following right behind one of the girls...like there was nooo space between his guitar and the chick's back. hahaha oh man, me and Sadok (Tunisian guy from school) as laughing are asses off at this and Sadok goes over to his sack of money, chucks in two bucks and says "keep doing this". at this point i'm crying laughing...the big dude with the girls didn't look too impressed but he knew his role and shut the fuck up. there's strength in numbers. man, that guitar dude was amazing!

ya, i never did karaoke before either..amazing! well, if we were with serious people, it probably wouldn't be as fun..we had a good time with it. I will pass the congrats to Usman, he will be happy...a bunch of us all chipped in to buy him a cool going away gift. we ordered him a Montreal Canadiens jersey with his name stitched on the back..hopefully it will arrive before he leaves :P

aw man..it's that time of the year when everything goes mental. my mentally retarded school state has been exposed to many of my fellow lab mates...they were shocked but they're use to it now...hehe suckers

these crazy things in Montreal get cooler during the summer since there's no limit to the crazy junk street people are willing to do. overall, they're pretty musical it seems. some metro stations have guys that set up their huge electronic pianos and start playing classical music...others may have some black dude with his guitar and amp, playin the blues. i'll try and use trillian more but i'm committed to having no MSN at school and since i'm at school when i'm not sleeping...yup

yea, in the couple of days that i've been filling out my passport application, it dawned on me that if i don't get it signed by a garaunter (which i'd have to go to ottawa for) by this weekend and submit it, i risk not having my passport ready by the time i leave for Jordan on the 28th of May...i have no clue when the crap i'm coming or anything but i know i have to do this very soon..most likely this weekend or something..i'll get everything sorted out in the next couple of days...it's all good, there'll be plenty of time to drink and barf in the coming months after everyone finishs exams i'm sure!

good luck on your exams dude, the shit's almost over.
