Stress, I think it's getting to me. There's a fly on my wall, and I think I need sleep.
I'm depressed.

Hello Salt Lake, Hello Utah!
Whooooooooooooooooweeeeeeeeee I'm tired, been up since 4:45 today, it's currently 11:54 pm in Moab, Utah as I type this post. It's been a hell of a long day today. It was a 6 hour commute from Pearson International to Chicago O'Hare and finally to Salt Lake City. Then it was of to the car rental (which took an amazingly long time because of an extremely pushy saleslady working behind the counter) center to grab our......puny Toyota Yaris Hatchback, followed by a six 4 hour drive through very straight and empty desert road to finally end up at Moab Utah, beside the Arches national park.
Must say though, the 4 hour drive was pretty sweet. Cruising through the desert with nobody infront or behind you surrounded by red mountains, and shrubs with Journey's "Faithfully" coming from the Yaris' crappy speakers felt like something straight from a Hollywood movie. Definitely a memorable experience.
The sights here though, really are breathtaking, I know I'm not much of a landscape kind of guy (I much prefer Cityscapes) but really this place is something else, feels like the Australian outback (which I've yet to visit, but will someday). Love the colour and texture of the mountains here, so different from the Rocky's over @ B.C.
Here's a few shots that I took today, (sorry, crappy camphone quality):
Yes, the crappy Yaris rental car.
Annnnnnd that's the view of the mountains. Looks siiiiick. 7 more days!

Unplug
Looking forward to vacation on the 22nd, off to see.........geysers, rocks, and bears. But really, I'm actually looking forward to it. It'll be a good experience, although I do want to get a proper pair of IEMs before I go, but that's a different issue.
It'd be nice to take a look at some of the natural wonders in the world before it actually disappears. Which is such a sad thing, although to be very honest....I find cityscapes far more gorgeous than landscapes. Something about artificial light attracts me so *insert corny metaphor about a moth and artificial light*. But, I'm still looking forward to seeing the grand canyon and stuff, maybe I'll truly appreciate it's "breathetaking" beauty when I'm actually there. There's something about pictures that doesn't truly give you a true to life representation of the depth or beauty of something unless you're actually there.
Can't believe this summer is drawing to a close so fast. Seemed like yesterday I was saying "Oh man! I got 4 months of summer!". Oh well, I had fun, and I guiltily admit that I actually miss Waterpew university.
Hope everyone else's summers went as well as mine did!

Hi in a long time!
Hi! I haven't posted here in a while, strange eh? The reason I hardly ever post here is primarily because I've got nothing useful to say, or at least nothing worth posting. Guess I'm just a boring guy,
But! Today, I hopefully will be able to post something of importance...actually, perhaps something of relative interest?
Anyways, I've got the day off from work, and I was out helping mom pick out the hardwood floor for the first floor (yes, we're renovating!). This is going to be the first time I've ever had hardwood floors in my house, so I'm kind of excited. What's it like to own hardwood floors? It's funny becuase I believe (if i remember correctly) in China, the rich people have carpet, and it seems that nearly everyone has like either hardwood floors or concrete back in China, it was only the poor who couldn't afford carpet that had to get the hardwood, but here in Canada, it's the otherway around, Hardwood is a bit more of a luxury than carpet, so it's funny how all the asians come to Canada and have carpet in their homes. Such an odd clash of cultures.

Strange couplings.
Nascar + Romance novels. I don't quite understand the duo either, but hey, someone over at Nascar HQ thought this would be a bright idea, and here's a list of the novels the've released.

Creepy.
Yeah, this is a bit messed up, I've got work soon so I'm not going to go into the details of why I think this is immoral and completely insane. The bugs was already a little bit sick (yes they are just bugs, but still...it's life), but then I read,
"The pair offers an alternative design fueled by mice,"
That's pushing the envelope a bit isn't it? Or is it just me? What do you guys think?
