about me van Eyks and the emergency room

It happens every time. When I get together with the van Eyks one of us gets hurt. Apparently this time it was my turn. We were playing basketball (a game that is certainly much more violent than hockey) and as I was driving for the net to do a lay-up I tripped and smashed my face against the pole. I came away with my hand to my mouth and when I looked down I had half of my front teeth in my hand. After saying a few words that I won't repeat here for the sake of my good friend 'anyomous' I went inside and took a look at her. Let me tell you, it wasn't pretty. My one tooth was knocked out of its socket and sticking straight back into my mouth, and the other one had several large chunks missing from it. so to make a long story short; and not to bore you with the insignificant details like hot dental assistants and more unrepeatable language, I ended up with some temporary braces to hold my tooth in place and I'll need to go get some rebuilding work done on the other one plus I will probably need a root canal.
Thankfully when I called my insurance they said that this is covered by them since it is an emergency, but I doubt I'll be able to get the other stuff covered, so I might just be out a few bucks. praise be to God though, that it wasn't any worse and that the insurance company is being so helpful. Here is a picture of my teeth right before going to the hospital.

I'M DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm DONE EXAMS. Yippppppeeeeee!!!! I am happy :-D very, very happy!! Now the Christmas vacation fun starts for real. I'm heading down to the States to visit all my friends down there....I can't wait to see y'all. Oh man oh man I can't wait.

Discrimination

Click here to read an excellent satirical view of how messed up the whole concept of discrimination and equal rights is if actually take to its logical conclusions. There are different groups in society that have different roles and they are not being 'repressed' by being expected to stay withing those roles.

Leafs Rule Sens Golf

Every sane person knows that the Toronoto Maple Leafs are the best hockey team in the entire world even if they don't win. Winning has nothing to do with. The most important thing is that they are the Toronto Maple Leafs, which means that they are the best team. However, I have a slight problem this year. First of all about 20% of my class are Ottawa Senators fans, which is almost punishable by death were I come from, and then to top if off the Senators are kicking butt and the Leafs aren't doing so good. But do not worry. I am a Leafs fan. I do not have to listen to reason. The Leafs are the best. I do believe the following song will help clear up any confusion that there may be on this point.

so nayna nayna nayna to all you Senators fans out there.

Exam 3

I'm done my third exam, and I am excited. One more to go and then I'm done the semester. This one went really good. I'm talking done it in an hour and 15 minutes (for a 2 1/2 hour exam)!!!!! I think it was the easiest exam I've ever had. YIPPEEEE. Well back to the books to try and make sure I finish strong.

I APOLOGIZE

you see I have committed a horrible crime. I spelt my roommate's name wrong in my survey (see question 12) and he is so upset at me that he is threatening to make me clean the bathtub. So, I figure I better publically confess my crime. I'm sorry Asher. Now stop your whining you little baby.

brother peter

My brother Pete is moving up in the world. He got himself a blog, and I'm proud to say its not xanga :-P I've added his link on the right hand side so check it out sometime.

and that would make me about 60% insane....that's what exams does to you folks.
Back to the insanity.

Gun Control

Liberal promise complete ban on handguns
Yes indeed. I dearly love those liberals. I mean who can't help but love those cute little fellows who so clearly think everything through before they do it. How touching; the liberals are very worried about all the people in Canada that have gotten shot and so they vow to get rid of handguns. This of course will not cost near as much as the gun registry did and will be much more helpful. Yes of course that is how it will work out because we all know that people would never kill other people if they did not have handguns. After all the Great Paul Martin himself said that "handguns kill people"

Well folks I have some news for you; banning handguns will not stop murders. Yes you heard me right guns don't kill people, people kill people. I mean think about it, when is the last time you heard on the news that a gun opened up the gun cabinet walked out of it and then walked up to somebody pointed itself at their head and shot them? It's been awhile hasn't it? No folks, you need to have someone pick up the gun, point it in the right direction and pull the trigger. "But hold on a sec" I hear you saying..."Isn't it true that without the means for murder there will not be murders?"
you know what, you have been listening to the liberals for a little bit too long and it has started to make you brain get a little mushy. You are missing out on a key point here. Handguns may have been involved in about two thirds of all firearm murders in the last year but that does mean that banning them will get rid of them, and even if it did mean that it does not mean that getting rid of them will get rid of murder. There are plenty of other weapons that can be used to kill people, and although they may not be as convenient as a handgun you can rest assured that they will be used if handguns aren't around. If my memory serves me correctly handguns hadn't been invented yet when Cain killed Able. Oh and one other thing: since it is the person wielding the gun that determines its use, is it not possible to have a gun used for self-defense?

It is an admirable thing to want to save people's lives, but to do so requires more than just anti-gun rhetoric. It requires cold hard facts. We need proof that this isn't just going to be another liberal financial fiasco, and we need proof that it is actually going to be helpful, neither of which outcomes seems likely to me. Lets not loose our heads to some mushy liberal rhetoric, but lets see some facts.

Exam 1

Yipppeee! My first real exam is done. Only 3 more to go. My first one was fluids and I think it went really good. I only needed a 15% on it to pass the course and I think I got about a 90% on it. I felt really good about it and I answered everything and I am quite sure that all of my answers are correct, so its basically just those fews marks that I always loose for the stupid typo's and stuff. So yeah, one done and feeling good. Well, there is no rest for the righteous, so back to books I go.

Prof Quotes

I'm going through my notes studying for exams and I came across some interesting quotes that came up in class and that I wrote down. Here are few of them:

Fluids:
Prof: (talking about air flow around a body) "this is similar to the force your car feels when are doing 150 down the highway as I know you all do."....."I on the other hand have respect for the law. I only go 145."

Prof: (to Nick who is always goofing around, cracking jokes or doing something wierd) "you should become a clown...it pays pretty good."
Nick: *in a mock-serious voice* "sir, I am NOT in it for the money, Sir"

Inorganic:
Prof: (day after Bill Gates visited U-Waterloo) "did any of you go see Bill Gates yesterday?"
Student: "yes I did"
Prof: "Did you throw anything at him?"
hmmm....wonder if he has an apple?

Prof: "What type of orbitals are these?"
*waits a few second*
"hint.....Nick is ....."
Nick: "DEGENERATE!!!!"

Differential Equations:
Prof: "Guess what we are going to do with this beast?"
Student: "TAME IT"

Prof: "I always find that when I teach engineers I have to make fun of Mathies and when I teach mathies I have to...*pauses and looks at the class full of engineers*...uhhh...make fun of MATHIES."

Prof: "I have a breakup line for you guys..."I'm sorry but u+i is complex""
(sorry that one was so corny I had to include it)

Countdown

School is almost over!!! only 4 more days of classes and then exams. I've put a counter on the sidebar at the right counting down the number of days until exams are over so that we all know how much longer I have until FREEEEEEDOOOOM!!!!!

Grrrrrrroooooaaaan

I came across some puns the other day that would even make Uncle Andrew and John van Eyk proud. Since I enjoy watching other people suffer I thought I would share some of them with you.

This little girl fell into a well and although she kept begging for help her brother stood by and did nothing. Finally a nieghbor resuced her and asked the boy why he didn't help her. "well" he replied "How could I be her brother and assit her too?"

A Guy goes to a psychiatrist: "Doc I keep having these alternating dreams...first I'm a tepee then I'm a wigwam and then I'm a tepee and so on. What is wrong with me?"
The doctor replies "Oh its quite simple really. You are just two tents."

A group of chess enthusiats were standing in the lobby of a hotel discussion their recent victories. After a while the managers comes up and asks them to leave.
"but why?" they ask
"Because" he said "I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer."

A guy goes to a costume party with a girl on his back. The host asks him what is is trying to be.
"a snail" replies the guy
"but why do you have a girl on your back?" ask the host.
The guy says "well, that's Michelle"

Exopolitics

Canadian Parliament Asked To Hold Hearings On Relations With Alien "Et" Civilizations What are we ever going to do? Apparently we are in grave danger of starting a intergalectic war if we don't start dissarming the States right now. Actually I think we are in grave danger of being part of a nation run by idiots. I mean who would actually seriously give time to this kind of stuff? Have we lost our minds?

Congratulations

Congratulations to Greg and Corrie . I love you guys and wish all the best for you!! Love is awesome thing, and yes maybe I am a little bit jealous, but I'm still very very happy for the both of you.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all those in America. I hope you aren't too full. Up here we didn't have thanksgiving today but we did have snow!!!! That isn't quite as good but it does help make up for not having turkey. We got about 6 inches so far and there is about a week of snow in the forcast.



Random picture....I though it was pretty cool

She Lives!!!

Yipppeeee!!! I Finally have my laptop back. It broke down on September 16th and I brought it in to TBE Computersthe next day. The motherboard was done for and he couldn't get the parts for it so he had to ship it out to e-machines who had manufactured the computer. He sent it out the next week so around the 20th of september and I got it back a mere 59 days later. Needless to say, in spite of my excitement in having my computer back I am not a happy customer. That is the most riduculous service I have ever heard of in my entire life, especially when they had promised that it wouldn't take more than two weeks. I called them up an complained about it about two weeks ago and so they fixed my screen for free, but I still don't think they did nearly enough to help me out. I'm warning you folks, don't buy cheap e-machines crap.

Random

You know I feel like its time to update this thing, but I just don't have anything much going on. It's basically just school, and school and more school. I can't wait til it is all over. Only 2 more weeks of classes and then exams, but in those two weeks I have 3 lab reports four quizzes and 8 assignments to do. hmmm...doesn't sound like my life is going to get much more interesting for a while. Oh well, at least it snowed today which means that snowboarding might be just around the corner. Can't wait for that. Well, I suppose I should do a bit more studying tonight.

Lest we Forget

November 11, 1918. The end of the great war. The end of the war that would end all wars. The end of killing and destruction in the world. The beginning of great dreams and utopian ideals. The start of the roaring 20's. Those dreams and ideals have long since faded away in the face of the harsh reality of the wickedness of human nature, but every year on November 11 we continue to have a day of remembrance for those millions of men and women that laid down their lives so that we might be able to enjoy freedom and (relative) peace today.

Inspired by the poem In Flanders Fields it has become a longstanding tradition to wear a poppy in the days leading up to and on Remembrance Day. But why is this? What is the point of the poppy? Well, as the slogan says it is "lest we forget." Inspiring words perhaps, but have we forgotten? Do we even know what it is that we don't want to forget? Remembrance day is not just about remembering those brave souls that died for our freedom some 90 years ago, it is about remembering what it was they were fighting for. It is about remembering that we still have men risking their lives so that we can live in relative peace and safety. It is about remembering that human nature has not changed in 90 years and that what happened then could happen again.

Nearly 90 years have passed since that memorable day in history, and what has mankind learned in those 90 years? I hate to sound cynical but I think we have forgotten. We wear the poppy and we have fuzzy feelings about those men that laid down their lives in the service of their country, but we let those very freedoms for which they died slip through our fingers. We passively sat by and watched as abortion was legalized, we shrug our shoulders in resignation at the acceptance of euthanasia, we hopelessly shake our heads as the government chips away at our religious rights and we think that somehow we should not ever have to go to war. There are things in this life that are worth fighting for and we must be sure that we never, ever, forget this. Untold millions have died so that we could have the great blessing of living in the free countries that we do. May we never be guilty of dishonoring them by dropping the torch they have passed on to us. Wear your poppy with great pride and don't ever forget that some things are worth dying for.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

- John McCrae

Snow

The first few flakes of the season fell this morning as I was getting ready for school...Snowboarding season is on its way. ohhhhh boooooya am I excited.

When are we going to ban the evil stuff?

The Hazards of Baked Bread...

A recent Cincinnati Enquirer headline read, "SMELL OF BAKED BREAD MAY BE
HEALTH HAZARD." The article went on to describe the dangers of the smell
of baking bread. The main danger, apparently, is that the organic components
of this aroma may break down ozone (I'm not making this stuff up).

I was horrified. When are we going to do something about bread-induced
global warming? Sure, we attack tobacco companies, but when is the
government going to go after Big Bread?

Well, I've done a little research, and what I've discovered should make
anyone think twice ....

1: More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread eaters.

2: Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households
score below average on standardized tests.

3: In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the
average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were
unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as
typhoid, yellow fever and influenza ravaged whole nations.

4: More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of
eating bread.

5: Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that
as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The
average American eats more bread than that in one month!

6: Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low occurrence
of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease and osteoporosis.

7: Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and
given only water to eat, actually begged for bread after only two days.

8: Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to harder items
such as butter, jelly, peanut butter and even cold cuts.

9: Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more
than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body
being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey
bread-pudding person.

10: Newborn babies can choke on bread.

11: Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That
kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.

12: Most American bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between
significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling.


In light of these frightening statistics, I propose the following bread
restrictions:

1: No sale of bread to minors.

2: No advertising of bread within 1000 feet of a school.

3: A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal ills
we might associate with bread.

4: No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may appeal to
children) may be used to promote bread usage.

5: A $4.2 zillion fine on the three biggest bread manufacturers.

Remember: Think globally, act idiotically.

Volleyball

We had our last two regular season volleyball games last night and we lost them both :( How sad and depressing that is. You shoulda seen the other teams though. Man I went up for this spike and I put my whole body into it. That ball was going somewhere and it was gonna get there fast. Well the next thing you know I was lying flat on my back picking pieces of the ball out of my teeth (I told you it was a hard hit)

"you just got owned"

Well ok, that didn't really bother me cause I get owned a lot,(I think its due to the fact that I kinda suck or something)but then I looked up and low and behold standing on the other side of the net is this skinny little five foot nothing chic. Embarassed? Who? me? Noo...ok maybe yes.

Just as a note some of the above story may be slight exagerations.

Well, actually I was thinking about it and, well, some of that above story is entirely untrue.

you know, I was thinking about it some more and acutally most of that above story is untrue.

Ummm, I think I need to start being honest with y'all.....I DID play volleyball last night, but that doesn't take enough time to say and I didn't feel like doing homework right about now so I had to make something up as an excuse and the best thing I could come up with is entertaining y'all with falsehoods and lies. I'm sorry, next time I'm bored I'll just stick to smoking a cigar.

Midterm

I got my first midterm back today, and I must admit I was kinda scared, cause I was expecting something in the range of low 70's, but I got an 86....OH YEAH!!! That made me very happy because it was a very tough midterm. Hopefully the rest go that good too. Back to the books.

Job

That's right. This boy is employed. I'm going to be working for Environment Canada on a international water quality project. I'll be working out of offices in Burlington, and it looks to be an interesting job. The best part though is knowing that I have a job and that I won't have to be looking during exams. It is so nice to be able to focus on the school work and not have to go to interviews. Ahhh, *sigh of relief*. Speaking of exams...3 down, 2 to go, but I still have a lot of labs left so don't you worry, I'm keeping plenty busy.

You can find out the inherent goodness of your site. Rate your site
Here was my site's 'goodness rating.' and you can most certainly trust this becuase this site provides results that are only Absolutly correct

Who reads this?

The comments on the last post brought up an interesting point. does it matter to me who reads this blog? Well, the idea is that this blog is about me, and since who I am does not changed based on who reads this blog it really shouldn't matter what my audience is. But at the same time one does write to a pervieced audience and so perhaps knowing that certain people read my blog might make me put in certain thing and withold other, but I would try not to let the opinions of others determine what I posted on here.

I may post stuff on here that people find offensive, and if you do feel free to let me know, but my point is not to be offensive as to present my view. I may also say stuff on here that I should not and if you see me doing something that you think is contradictory to my beliefs, please let me know, and we can discuss it. Speaking of that kind of thing...I have edited out the damn in my previous post, not because I think a christian cannot use the word, but becuase I was thinking about it and I am not convinced that I used it in the proper spirit when I wrote that post.

So If it doesn't really matter to me who is reading this blog why would I want you to use your name when you comment on it? Well the answer is, I think it's good manners to do so. You know who I am and if I'm going to take your comments seriously I would like to know who you are. Don't get me wrong...anyone can post anymously on here if they want to and I will not try to stop them or anything, but at the same time those kinds of comments do not carry the same weight as comments coming from someone who has indentified themself.

So there you have it folks. Comment away and have fun and let me know if you see anything wrong. I'm a human and I make mistakes, so you loving corrections are welcome (as long as they do not involve my spelling and grammer :-P).

FREAKIN COPS

Dang I hate em. why do they always have to be after me. There I was driving down the road calmly safely and really quite slowly and then next thing you know I'm looking at this little yellow slip of paper which tells me that I transgressed again the highway traffic act and will have to spend the next 5 years in purgatory. Or something like that. but, however it worked out I have two speeding tickets in about two months and that my friends SUCKS.

I'm fighting this one though, cuase I though the speed limit was 80 kmh but it was 70 and so I got nailed at 20 over. *edit* Blasted*end edit* speed limits. Country roads are all supposed to be 80. I don't care how many freakin people have died on the freakin road in the last freakin year...The speed limit should be 80 when there are no houses around and just open fields. So yeah, I'm fighting it.

Diversity

The Diversity Campaign is in full swing at the University of Waterloo. The posters are everywere, The student newspaper has articles about it, the banners are hanging all over campus, but what is it really all about? what is this "diveristy" that we hear so much about? To quote the One Waterloo website it is "help[ing] the UW community move from mere awareness and acceptance of differences to understanding of those differences" Sounds to me like a lot of rhetoric about pretty much nothing, but the question is, is this issue worth getting so worked up about. I mean the people in charge of the diveristy campaign have good intentions and want us to all be able to exist in harmony while having our differences. That's a good thing isn't it?

Well, one problem that I see with diversity, at least the interpretation that our postmodern society puts on it, is that it is relativistic. You see diversity, to these people, means that although we all have our differences, we must all accept the fact that we are different and not try to change the differences in other people because that is not living in harmony with them. It is not so much that understanding the differences is a problem, in fact that is a good thing, but it in what you do about that understanding. I can't tell you that I think the way I do something, or the things that I believe, or the sexual orientation that I have, is somehow better than the things that you do.

That is where the problem lies. It is plain and simple relativism. And what is the problem with that you might ask. The problem is that there are then no absolutes. Who are you to tell me that I might be doing something that is wrong. So what if I have 6 wives and committ incest with my children, you need to learn to accept my differences and have a more tolerant attitude toward me instead of trying to impose your ideas of what is right and wrong on me.

With a relativism you not only have and illogical and hopelessly distorted worldview, but you also have one that is without morals. This is scary. Truely scary. In fact that only reason such a worldview can even have any kind of hold on society without totally destroying it is that it is a worldview that thrives on illogicalness and so it doesn't really matter that people are inconsistant with it, becuase by being inconsistant they are be consistant with being inconsistant, and inconsistancy is what relativism demands. The inconsitancies come through in a diversity campaign that promotes the acceptance of all religions as being ok, which in turn denies the truth of those religions that hold to the absoluteness of truth and therefore hold that their beliefs are the one and only true belief.

That is the problem with their view of diversity. Diversity is not saying that if I hold that Homosexuality is sin and you hold that it is not we need to accept that we are both right and just get along since a sin for me might not be a sin for you, no, diversity is admitting that we differ and trying to figure out why we differ and who is correct, not just for himself, but in absolute terms. These two people may be able to get along just fine in other aspects of their lives where they agree with each other, and they may even agree not to argue about this issue, but they can never say that they are both right. Disagreements are not bad.

Watch out Flies

That's right flies...don't mess with Dave when he's eating his dinner

Maple Leafs

What a freakin way to lose. In a shoot out. Waaah I wanted the Leafs to cream the Senators. How am I ever going to be able to go back to class tomorrow and face all those Senator fans I was badmouthing? I guess its time to revive that well known Leaf cheer: "Next time...just you wait til next time" Ahead the whole game and then to lose in a shoot out. What is this world coming to. I'm just going to go to bed and weep.

Volleyball

Oh yeah baby...Team Chemikaze is now 2 for 2 in the regular season of volleyball. It was a hard fought battle right down to the bitter end but thanks to some incredible blocking and spiking and all around good team work we were victorious. It was a good game and tons of fun.

Not Much Happening

Yup the title pretty much says it. Not much going on in my life right now. Pretty much just homework and classes and more homework and more classes and then ocasionally for intresest's sake a lab is thrown in there and then more homework and more classes followed by more homework and yet more classes and....well, I think you get the picture. Not much going on in my life. Just thought I would let y'all know that. Back to the homework!

School

Yup....back in school again. You know what that means. Books and studying and homework and lab reports and all nighters. Ahh yes so much fun. Not too many classes this semster, but I think the labs are going to be the killers. I have 3 courses with a lab compenent and each one of them requires 3-4 lab reports and prelabs which adds up to a lot of work. Oh yeah, and my computer motherboard is as dead as a liberal politician's brain and of course they don't sell parts for it so I had to ship it out to them so that they can fix it and hopefully send it back to me sometime in the next 20 years. Hey and well I'm on this pity party anyways I might as well mention my car. The driver side bearing is totally shot and make a rather scary clunking/screaming when I'm driving so I'm pretty much stuck here until I get it fixed. So yeah don't you wish you were me?

My First Post on this Site

Hey everyone.....I've moved from Xanga over to blogger cause Xanga is forcing people to sign up if they want to post comments and that just doesn't seem like a very nice thing to do and I don't want to be associated with sites that don't do nice things so I'm hoping this one will be nicer. We'll see I guess. Comment away folks.
