and they rocked. The openers were kinda lame though. warbringer was acceptable, and verbal d just sucked. like how hard is it to get a friggin sound check? instead they just kept playing with the levels all through their set. next on the list: GAMMA RAY! i'se happy. then after that is GWAR, and that's one show i wouldn't miss for anything :3

7 more days, 7 more days, 7 more days until I get a full two weeks plus a day in ontario with Zak! (and pyhrra too once feral hits, but he's only a cat so he doesn't matter much XP just kidding remi, you know i luff ya!)

Feral is going to be wicked fun! I'm going to be dragging a couple of con-virgins to the rave with us and we're all gonna dance and party and generally have a really good time! :3

Plus apparently I'm going to Canada's wonderland on the 17th. I've been told I don't have a choice o.o wish me luck, for I do not fare well on roller coasters XD.
Nah, sounds like it'll be lots of fun :3

and on that note I leave you. for i am going camping at Sylvan lake with my bestest buddies Greg, Chris, and liquor!

So this weekend me and the guys got together to play some D&D and generally have fun. while we were hanging out, we decided to go to 7-11 and grab a snack.
so we take the shortcut through the alley-way and there's a group of two native guys and a girl in the alley. as we are walking along, minding our own business one of them stands up and starts yelling at us. then he pulls a full bottle of tequila out from under his shirt and threatens to bust it over our heads. we kept on walking and ignored him, and since we had them outnumbered he let us by.
Now at this point i'm considering contacting the police or something because that guy was really obnoxious and seemed like the type who might actually cause some shit. but before i can finish debating the idea, i see someone hanging out behind the 7-11. looked like a security guard.
we get closer and it turns out it was a cop. he sees us coming and asks us if we happened to see a native guy running with a bottle. we told him about the native guy and his two friends back in the alley, and he calls in for backup.
next thing i know, the K-9 unit comes running by, then the cop follows them, and then a cruiser goes whipping past us.
as it turns out this dumb bastard robbed the liquor store (my mom says with a weapon if there were that many cops there, she volunteers with the force) and then hung out with his buddies all of 150 meters from the scene of the crime.
on the way back we asked the dog handler and he said they got the guy, and we saw him and his buddy in the back of a cruiser and the cops were questioning the girl.

its stunning. there was actually a cop there when i needed one for once XD and in a roundabout sort of way me and my friends helped in a bust.
the moral of the story? don't mess with me, or karma will bite you square in the ass. or something X3


and on a much sadder note, George Carlin died of heart failure yesterday at the age of 71. he has always been a great inspiration to me, and a true modern philosopher. the world truly has lost one of the great minds of the 20th and 21st centuries. Rest In Peace George, you will be missed, and may Joe bless you.

Kardane got [new job]!
i got absolutely pissed off with working at mr. lube, and therefore contacted my old boss at MI Cable. after about a week, he called me back, telling me one of his warehouse guys was going to vietnam for a couple of months and he needed someone from now until september. i told him i was available until middle of august and he hired me for it on the spot. so i'm back at mi cable now! XD
at least now i work a steady shift. monday-friday 0630-1500
so i can have a social life again!
yaaay!

I accidentally tore a customer's oil-pan in half. o.o
...
let me repeat that.
I TORE a customer's OIL-PAN (which was made of cast iron) In HALF. o.0

ok so here's the story. i was going to drain the guy's oil and i fixed the ratchet onto the drain plug, but it was stuck. so i grabbed a wrench, threw it on the end and used it for extra leverage. i pushed a bit and suddenly the whole thing jerks to the left, and i end up holding a section of about 6-8 square inches of metal containing the drain-plug. apparently the guy had had it break before and used some JB-Weld to put it back together. then along comes Kardane, and ker-snap! like 8 people asked me 'dude, how hard did you twist that thing?' apparently everyone is under the impression i'm actually an austrian strong-man. o.o

so that was my day XD

Big thanks go to  bae_bunny for this one. i got it as a prize for having a sick, sick sense of humor. finally my talents get me something more than a shoe thrown at me! X3


Check it out! it's Dr. Kar-bert West! :O

relax folks, no spoilers here, just a modest review.

how was it? in a word, awesome. in two words, friggin awesome.

seriously though. this has to be the single most bad-ass super-hero movie that wasn't hellboy.

and if you do go and see it, sit through the credits, read the funny names. the extra bit tacked on the end is well worth it. it took the movie from 'awesome' to 'i think i just popped a boner o.o'

there are far worse ways to spend 12.50 my friends.

Kardane found [Job]!

That's right! i'm back in the realm of the gainfully employed!
I'm working at a Mr. Lube. (yeah yeah. go ahead and laugh. get it out of your system)
the pay ain't bad and everyone i work with seems fairly nice.

Also in the realm of the exciting, i'm gonna (theoretically) be moving to Toronto permanently as of july 09, and therefore get to spend a whole bunch more time with zak and pyhrra! -glee!-

so yes. now that we're all up to speed, you may go about your lives as normal.

Totally ripped from  kaar

1. Choose your closer ultimate objective:
A. World Domination
B. World Annihilation
C. "One Million Dollars"
D. 72 Vixens, herms of course
A. Without question. Let’s face it, I can’t screw it up worse than the rest of the idiots who’ve tried.

2. Describe your secret lair
A massive sprawling laboratory hidden beneath a lake, everything clinical white, and the rooms full of genetically modified nasties :3

3. What is your supervillian name?
Barron Von Icehammer!

4. What is your superpower?
The ability to phase into an alternate dimension where I cannot be affected by, or affect, any objects in this plane of existence (imagine phasing out, sticking your arms into someone’s chest, phasing back in and ripping their lungs out :3)

5. What is your costume and what snappy little uniform do you make your thugs wear?
Dark flowing pirate shirt, loose black pants, steel boots, steel clawed gauntlets and a heavy steel mask that looks like a skull. My minions would all wear white lab-coats over bulletproof vests, carry H&K G36C’s and wear face-concealing riot helmets.

6. What elaborate death awaits your superhero, that you have just now captured by the way..?
He will be tossed into a gladiatorial style pit and forced to fight the meanest and nastiest of my genetically modified pets while I watch. If he survives, I’ll pull the lever that closes the doors and starts the incredibly slow trap-door floor of the arena to open up, exposing the vat of acid underneath.

7. The superhero escaped, blame the MPAA I don't know, you shake angry fist at them and say.....
‘JUST YOU WAIT! NEXT TIME, THE DOORS WILL BE BULLET-PROOF!’

8. YOU are captured by the superhero now, what heavily fortified facility do you escape from in time for the next issue:
A. Prison
B. Asylum
C. Hell
D. Government Lab
B. Although given my super-powers, this should not be an issue –evil grin-

9. Finally give your best evil laugh :)
he… hehe….ha haha!... AHAHAHAHAHAA! AHAHAHAHAAAA! AHAAAHAAAAHAA! MWAHAHAHAHA!

as of yesterday! i'm so old! D:
but on the upside, i'm in toronto with zak. happy birthday to me! :3

totally stolen from misplaced
http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_lin.....?link_id=27441
its interesting to say the least :3

also. 2 days left! :3

and counting....
17 more days until my reading break. 17 more days until i get to board a plane and spend 10 days with the man of my dreams. and boy, have I got a surprise for him. (but shhh.... its a secret, he wont know what it is until the 16th of feb.) in between that i have at least 3 exams, and god knows how much else to handle. therefore i say wish me good juju (and speak not the word that starts with L and rhymes with suck. personal superstition.)

that is all!
... i really needed to get that last journal off my frontpage, been there for too long.

Rules:
1. Post these rules
2. Each Tagged person must write 8 facts about themselves
3. The tagged person must post their facts in the journal they were tagged in.
4. You have to inform 8 people that they have been tagged on their userpage.

---

-note: these were translated from french, and i dont speak french, so the wording may be off, but the gist is there-

1. I am Gay. when I told my family my mom burst into tears and my dad demanded i go to see a shrink.
2. I used to be an alcoholic and a nicotine addict, but i kicked both habits by willpower alone.
3. I got kicked out of university because I was suffering from depression at the time and I refused to get help.
4. I moved around so much as a child that I never really had any long lasting friendships until I got to Calgary
5. I have no Idea what Zak sees in me, but I thank the fates every day that i met him.
6. I'm not religious. I believe that organized religion cripples a person's soul and shackles them to servitude of an establishment on earth when they should be out enjoying their lives.
7. I've only ever struck someone once in anger, and I've never had someone land a punch on me during a fight.
8. I hate doctors. so much so in fact that I once caught strep throat and refused to see the doctor until it turned into rhuematic fever. I was about 24 hours away from hospitalization when I finally saw someone.

I tag:
 zakkun
 fyger
 nova_666
 whitewulfe
 drummerfox
 hida
 matt2244
 RabidRaccoon

I have decided i shall live to the age of 130. just to spite everyone. that is all.

merry christmas everyone! <3

if you're not watching the amazingly talented, amazingly sexy and amazingly amazing zak  zakkun then there is something dreadfully wrong and you simply must go rectify the situation now! -points to his new avvie- just look at how awesome he is!

HEAR YE, HEAR YE!
anyone found not having seen the golden compass is to be publicly flogged with a scented bootlace. that is all.

I'm going to GWAR on wednesday with my buddy chris :3
