New Years
As 08 begins I have things to look forward to some scary and some exciting. In June knock on wood I will graduate this is exciting for me because for I see this as an achievement and one that I will remember. I do not think I will regret going back to school I learned some cool stuff and meant some awesome people. But what is scary is the fact that I am heading back to the real world, hoping that the new skills that I have gained will help me succeed in this ever changing in the ever changing world that we live in.
Of course New Years is a chance where we can start fresh and forget about all the things that happened in the previous year, making new goals for our life or maybe trying to fix bad habits. I have some of both little things but at the same time important to me (eat better and exercise more are some). But to all those who have goals, good luck. But more important make 08 one to remember. But I am always better at giving advice then taking my own.
One thing that I learned in 07 well in theory anyway is who your friends really are and I owe that to those Friends who helped to pick me up when I was down and who have continue to encourage me to work harder, to achieve higher. As well that sometimes things just take time to sort themselves out, that good things come to those that wait. (Friends you know who your are).
Happy New Year :)

Merry Christmas
On a similar thought one of my gifts for Christmas was the newest book by Bill Clinton entitled Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World. I hope to be able to say more once I begin to read it. But reading the inside cover it urges us as individuals to seek out ways to help regardless or income age or time. Something i think we sometimes overlook as individuals. I am looking forward reading this book.
I want to end this message with a quote from one of my favourite movies the Shawshank Redemption "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies"

Winter Time Blues
Well today on a more postive note I had a cool day. I Spent the day at Casa Loma (an awsome Toronto landmark). Casa Loma is the former

In the Evening I went to Yuk Yuks (the down town Toronto location 224 Richmond St W).I had a good laugh and was with good company (Thanks Karen for those awsome tickets). Humor is an interesting thing for me I think I need to be able to relate to the jokes. I tend to like jokes about everyday life or things that i myself have experienced for example Dane Cook has jokes about the BK lounge and monopoly for me what makes them so funny is I am able to relate to the jokes but hey thats my opinion.
Finally I want to say a few words about Jamie Lynn Spears becoming pregnant. Teen pregnancies do occur I fully acknowledge that but Jamie Lynn spears has a show on family channel (Zoey 101). Little girls look up to her and by her becoming pregnant she does not provide a positive role model. The media at times may focuses in on insignificant things but and at other times focus on issues of importance. This issue is a grey area but at the same time something that needs to be discussed. Many celebrities have become poor role models for children and this I think is something that should be examined.

Here We Go
The mod club is an awseome club that is located at 722 College street in Toronto (but clubs across Canada have mod nights). They play British and British sounding music and on Thursday night they go live to air on the edge 102.1. The atmosphere is great and tends to bring out a more mature crowd. The two main DJs MRK (Mark Holmes) formally part of an awesome 80's band call Platinum Blonde and Bobby Guy who plays his Tantalizing Trio of Tittilating Treats @ 12:30 which is the latest, newest and coolest British and British sound music coming out, really get the crowd pump and provide a welcoming experience to the club. The sound system is great and the drinks reasonably priced. If anyone has feedback about the mod club I would love to hear it, and for those who have never been check it out.
